Chapter 13: Actor Candidates (2)
Speaking of this person, I don't know whether to describe it as good luck or bad luck. He debuted in 94 and has not had any outstanding works for several years. It wasn't until the popularity of "Spartan 300 Warriors" in 06 that he began to appear in front of the audience.
"Prometheus" in 2012, "12 Years of Fury", which won the Oscar for Best Picture in 2013, and "Jobs" in 2015, took him to the pinnacle of his career as an actor step by step. Although this poor man had not yet obtained the little golden figure before she was reborn, no one could deny his strength.
Hollywood's evaluation of him is: At the age of 30, he is still playing tricks, and at the age of 40, he is only one step away from the Oscars.
"That's good. Lyra suppressed the joy in her heart and was the first to settle him. Xiao Fa Shark is only 19 years old now, and it is not a disadvantage for him to be able to star in her first work. Maybe because of her appearance, he can win the Oscar for Best Actor a few years earlier.
After flipping through a few more options, her eyes widened again, and a picture of an unimaginable person appeared on her desk.
"Bradley Cooper?"
Louise heard the strangeness in her tone, and hurriedly said, "He has nothing to do with the previous Cooper in our company, but he has the same surname." She thought she was unhappy with the surname Cooper.
"I see. Leila certainly wouldn't explain that it wasn't the Cooper last name that surprised her, but ...... This person has a very good future.
may not be as powerful as the French Shark and the two future Oscar-winning actresses, but he is also a movie star who has laughed all over the world with a "hangover". It just made her wonder how he could be on the shortlist? Isn't he supposed to be hosting a show at this time?
She can't remember the specifics, but she only remembers that he didn't seem to have a particularly eye-catching role before "The Hangover". She is a horror film, is it really appropriate to use a movie star who makes R-rated comedies popular?
"Isn't it suitable, Leila?" Louise was a little apprehensive, not wanting her new boss to dislike her first job.
"No, it's not bad. Leila found herself in the trap of equating Bradley with the comedian. The same person, cultivated according to different routes, will have different lives, and she seems to have forgotten the infinite possibilities of life.
Aside from that hangover, he has also filmed the TV series Brothers in Arms, etc., so it can be seen that filming other genres should be no problem.
patted the two actor profiles in her hand, and she said to Louise, "Just the two of them." ”
"Okay, I'll have someone negotiate a contract with them. Louise breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the new boss really admired the people she had chosen, and with this experience, she felt that she had done the right thing by choosing an actor with excellent acting skills.
If you change to the former boss Reynolds, whether you have a towering chest and stilted buttocks is the most important thing, as for the acting skills...... Does a low-budget B-grade film still need to be made later? The most important thing is to attract people to watch the movie.
She understands that this is also the difference between the two bosses' plans for the future. What Reynolds wants is a small profit, enough for him to squander, enough for him to find a woman, enough for him to be a lover saint, and enough to support the company by the way. The new boss is obviously more ambitious, and this simple test of the waters should be her first step, if she can sell a good result, the company can really develop in the future!
Louise is a veteran of the company, and she must have feelings for the company, and her heart can't help but burn at the thought of the changes that the new boss may bring to the company.
"Have you also chosen the heroine?"
"Heroine......" Leila tangled with a photo of Charlize in one hand and a photo of Kate in the other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is really a difficult option." ”
Although Louise understands that the two actresses are excellent, she does not understand the real reason why the little boss is entangled. In her opinion, these two may be in line with the boss's wishes, but they are not to the point of losing them, and they are not famous actors.
After much thought, Leila finally decided: "Tell these two to come over tomorrow, I want to see them in person." ”
Seeing is believing, in her previous life, she knew them all from the media network, and she didn't have the opportunity to interact with them directly.
Why do many directors have their own royal actors? such as Luc Besson and Jean Reno, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, such as Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, and Feng Xiaogang and Ge You.
When filming the film, the relationship between the director and the actors is undoubtedly quite close. A good relationship can produce a good chemistry and make the combination of 1+1 greater than 2, while a bad relationship can plunge the whole crew into chaos.
It's like picking a boyfriend or girlfriend, finding the right lover will have a happy memory, and finding an inappropriate lover...... That was definitely the beginning of a tragedy.
So Leila decided to communicate with the two alternative heroines, and if she didn't get along with her, no matter how they would be prosperous and famous in the future, she would discard them without pity.
"Okay, will it be okay tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon?" asked Louise.
"I don't remember any arrangements either, you go check with Demi. ”
"Understood. If it's okay, I'll go out first. Louise nodded and walked out of the office.
Leila leaned back in her chair and looked at the actor's profile for a moment before putting it aside.
"The actors can basically be decided, and then it's time for the real performance to begin. She smiled playfully and picked up the phone.
After two rings, the opposite side was connected.
"Leila, my angel, do you finally remember your poor grandfather?" came a pitiful voice on the other end of the line.
Leila smiled, who would have thought that such a cute voice would come from her grandfather, who looked majestic and old-fashioned? If he was seen by outsiders at this moment, it is estimated that the company's stock would be shocked by a few points, right?
"Grandpa, I remember you once bought a magazine and newspaper in the United States?"
"Yes dear, do you want it, how about transferring it to your name now?" Old man Osveld's voice sounded like a strange uncle who had taken a lollipop and wanted to coax the children.
Lyra laughed and refused: "I'm not interested in those, I just want to put a few ads on it." ”
"It's going to be given to you in the future, so what's the matter if it's a little sooner or later. Osvid muttered a few words before turning back to the subject: "There's definitely nothing wrong with advertising, I'll get someone in charge of this to contact you." But dear, are you going to advertise your film? I think that film doesn't seem to have started filming yet, right?"
Many movies do attract the public's attention with advertisements before they start shooting, but they are usually big films from big companies. He knew about Leila's recent actions from his daughter Janet, and knew that it was a small production that didn't even cost $100,000, and he didn't seem to know of a few companies that would spend a lot of money on publicity for such a small movie.
Of course, he didn't feel sorry for the advertising money, but hoped to take this opportunity to tactfully teach his granddaughter some business principles. She is the only heir to the Moran family, and everything he and Janet will be granddaughters in the future, so how can they do business at all?
Or if you really can't do it, just find her a capable husband?
