Chapter 49: Power on

She didn't understand that the little boss wanted a wrestling stout man to sign an acting contract, especially giving the other party such good conditions, which was simply the treatment of a little star. Maybe that person does have a lot of fame in the wrestling world, but this is Hollywood, can they still make a box office even if they wrestle well? They're not making an action movie.

A big wrestler, a street thug...... What kind of person will be next?

Louise felt that she really couldn't understand the boss's thoughts, and she couldn't be optimistic about the so-called broker department.

A new round of auditions officially kicked off as the film was about to start filming. Compared to last time, the second film of the genius director who miraculously rose to prominence attracted more people's attention.

In Leila's arrangement, there is no doubt that Tobin plays the jigsaw. Charlize Theron, the girl who made a good impression on her, will also play the only surviving character in the movie Amanda after the schedule is arranged. In addition, Roy will also play the second male lead in the movie, a tragic character Adam who has lost his life from the beginning, but only looks at the back of the jigsaw and screams in despair until the end.

In addition to the male protagonist and two policemen, there is only a mother and daughter and some less important roles left.

Those Leila didn't want to interfere, and the actors Louise recruited for her last time made her very satisfied, so this time she threw things to her more naturally.

For Leila, a low-budget film like her doesn't really need big-name actors. Because if you invite a big star, you can't just let people be a casual character who gets a bento, right?

The audience also knows this, so when they see the big stars come out, they will guess some of the plot developments below, which is not a good thing for the director and the movie, and the sense of suspense is destroyed.

No matter how good the new actors are, they don't get familiar with their faces, and they don't need much salary, and once they become popular, the director himself will have a considerable sense of achievement.

This audition went well, the number of participants was double that of the last time, and it also gave Louise the opportunity to choose more, and the candidates she finally got in front of Leila were all actors she had chosen from thousands of choices.

Leila looked through the profiles one by one, but she didn't see a face that was too familiar. But when I saw the candidate for the leading actor, I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why is he here?"

Louise knew that she would definitely ask when she saw her, so she smiled and told her what she had learned: "Mr. Fassbinder is very eager to be part of the filming of your new film, and he finds it a pleasure to work with you in The Witches." ”

"That's right. Whether it's flattering or not, Leila is still happy. "I remember that the three of the witches all received a lot of new offers?"

"Yes, Kayla has already taken the contract for Road to Heaven. Mr. Bradley participated in a TV series. Mr. Fassbinder also received scripts for several films, but was not very interested in them. So when I knew that you were going to start a new film again, I came over to audition. ”

Leila nodded knowingly. In his previous life, Fassbinder's star path was not smooth, and it was not until 2000 that he participated in the filming of the TV series Band of Brothers. Now that he can get a script invitation, it must be a benefit that the witch Blair's powerful ability to attract money has given him.

But just a movie can't make him famous, otherwise he wouldn't have used more than ten years to still be one step away from the Oscar statuette. Strictly speaking, The Witch is not a particularly good movie, and its limited subject matter makes it destined not to receive more attention.

Similarly, the three people who played the leading roles in the movie have at most a leading role of more than 200 million box office, but they are not qualified to win better movie scripts.

Fassbinder did not read the script handed to him and continued to seek cooperation with Leila, which undoubtedly shows that he is a very wise person.

Instead of making those second-rate and third-rate movies, why don't you fight again and continue to cooperate with Leila, what if a movie becomes popular again?

Of course, he also took a great risk in choosing this, after all, under the desperate smear of Cooper, countless people in the outside world have not been good for Leila's second movie. Eighteen years old is a hard injury, and not many people think that she can perform miracles again.

Either way, Fassbinder's willingness to gamble was enough to satisfy Lyra.

"That's him, sign it. ”

"Okay. How much is the right salary?" Louise asked again.

Last time, 10,000 people were signed in, and that was the price of newcomers. This time he is already the leading actor of a blockbuster movie, and the price must be much higher.

"You can do it. "Americans are very clear about the difference between friendship and buying and selling, no matter how good the relationship is, business is business, and how much should be given. This is something that Leila thinks is worth learning. Although in her previous life, there was an old saying that her brother would settle accounts, but how many could really do it?

As for the other actors, she also agreed with Louise's choice one by one, and if she found a suitable candidate among these people, she didn't mind asking her agent to sign a few more actors.

Half a month later, the movie was officially launched in an abandoned factory.

After receiving Lyla's commission, Louise asks people to look around for a place that suits her heart, and finally finds an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

After seeing it, Leila immediately bought it, if not for anything else, because this site will be officially developed in the future, and the value will be doubled. At that time, even if the theme park plan fails, it will be described as an inch of land and every inch of money for more than ten years, and it will definitely be a profitable business.

The renovation of the factory was handled by Gabi, who had a storyboard in his hand and knew what kind of environment she needed to shoot. Don't look at him as the youngest in the props team, he is not much worse than his father in doing things, and it didn't take much time to set up the scenes one by one.

The budget for this film was set at 2 million, which is 500,000 more than in previous lives. The main thing is that Leila's perfectionism has flare up again, and she has to strive for perfection everywhere. It's also a shame that she is making a low-budget horror film, if she is really handed over to make a big production, maybe it will not be much better than the money-burning director Cameron.

With Leila's "action", the film, which is destined to become a classic horror film in film history, finally began to shoot. At the same time, the outside world also attracted more attention because of the witch Blair's global box office officially exceeded 300 million.

Not surprisingly, when the witch broke through the 300 million box office, Cooper's review was once again published in the News of the World.

I don't know if it was the three hundred million words that hurt his eyes and his ugly heart blinded by hatred, but this time his words were extremely exciting, as if he was denouncing a sinner who was about to bring the world to an end.
