Chapter 608: The Road Ahead (2)
"Don't panic, I mean really. Seeing her crampedness and nervousness, Leila gave a reassuring smile: "From the first time I saw you, I knew you were an actor with great potential. Therefore, after signing you into the company, I have always regarded you as an indispensable part of the future company. ”
"Hollywood is very unfair to women, you and I are both women, and we already know a little bit about this, right?" Leila may not have had much trouble along the way, mainly related to her surname Moran. For another ordinary person, it is difficult to sell his own movies at the beginning, let alone the smooth progress after that.
Theron didn't speak, just hung his head silently. If there is any injustice, who is more affected than her? Women want to be pretty. However, being too beautiful is not so easy for an actor to be happy.
Vase. Hearing this word now makes her smile bitterly.
In fact, she doesn't understand the reason why the company has not given her too many roles, after she played Amanda, those movie roles that don't require acting skills and just a face are no longer expected by her at all. Yes, she wants to act in a movie, but she doesn't want to play the role of a vase that imprisons her. That's why she will seriously carry out the path arranged for her by the company and her agent, instead of jumping to a company that is willing to give her more roles.
Leila doesn't need her answer, it's all her own people, who doesn't know whose business?
"There's never a shortage of good-looking people in Hollywood, but the vast majority of them don't work out. Even if someone succeeds, it takes a lot more effort than the average person. Why? Because they're on a troublesome path. Theron, in my eyes, you're the second Roy. You know what I mean?"
Theron's heart tightened and he looked at her in surprise.
Could that be what she thought?
Leila nodded as if she knew what she was thinking, "Yes, you and Roy are both important parts of my future plans. ”
Theron didn't know what to make any more expressions, so he could only stare at his boss behind his desk in shock, staring at his beautiful eyes. Is she telling the truth?
Who Roy is, I'm afraid even people who don't pay much attention to the film industry have heard of his name. He has starred in one of the hottest roles in the world, endorsed many top brands, and recently won the Golden Globe for Best Actor.
The boss now says that he is the second him, is it ......
Before she could think clearly, she heard Layla continue, "Roy and you have a lot in common, that is, you are both very good-looking. Looking at his acting career, you should be able to see that from the very beginning, I did not arrange for him the path that a good-looking person like him should have. ”
Theron nodded. is in the same company, and she knows Roy well, so she naturally knows those things since his debut.
Seeing that she had begun to listen carefully to her words, Leila showed a smile: "You and I have already acted in movies before we met, but fortunately, there are not many acts, and the marks on the label on the body are not very heavy." But if you go back to the original path, it may go more smoothly, but it will be difficult to jump out of there again. ”
She actually understands her feelings, the same company, the same external conditions and constraints, but completely different paths. Roy has become an international star, but she still has nothing good to come up with.
"I, what should I do?" Theron looked at her confusedly.
Layla smiled, "What do you want to do?" I have two scripts now, and I can be considered to give you two paths to choose from. She said, picking up two scripts from the table and handing them over.
"I can tell you exactly that both of these scripts will change your life. The previous book will do a very good job at the box office, and it will also make you very famous, and you may become an internationally renowned star. The latter one will be very painful for you, but it may also bring you a trophy for Best Actress. ”
Theron's body shook, his fingers trembled slightly, and he took the script in his hand, and saw that the names of "Transformers" and "Female Devil" were written on the two scripts respectively.
"You have to think about it, it's going to be the most important choice for you. Once you have chosen the former, you may be imprisoned in the image of a vase for a long time. But you will also be famous all over the world, and countless luxury brand endorsements will find you, and countless fans will treat you as a fan. You'll make lots and lots of money, and maybe win a trophy at the Popcorn Awards with this movie. ”
"And if you choose "The Witch", you need to make changes to your image first, and you also need to study and observe a person, which will be a very painful experience. But if you meet my requirements, I'm sure there's at least a 90% chance that you'll get the Best Actress trophy. ”
Leila said, spreading her hands regretfully: "It's a pity that you can't choose these two at the same time. If you can't make a decision for a while, you can take the script back and take a good look at it, and then give me an answer. ”
Theron nodded subconsciously: "Okay, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible." She didn't quite believe what she said.
You know, this is a life-long decision, which can be decided in a little time? What if you choose the wrong one? What if the movie doesn't do what the boss said?
She knows that no one in Hollywood can say that a movie will be successful once it is released. There are too many things that are ambitious before the release and disgraced after the release. But she doesn't completely disbelieve Lyla's words, she still trusts her boss's vision, but when faced with choices that will affect her life, this trust will still be discounted.
"Transformers" she knows is a very successful cartoon, and there are very few Americans who don't know what it is. And it's not just Americans, it's the whole world that has countless fans.
After reading the script, she knew that the heroine in it was indeed an obvious vase character. It's just that this role is not annoying, and if it is played well, it can really have a good effect. The boss said that the movie could be a big hit, and she felt that as long as it wasn't made badly, it would indeed become a very successful movie. After all, the huge base of fans is there, and it can be said that once it is adapted into a movie, there will definitely be many people who are willing to pay money to experience feelings.
As for the second "Female Devil", it tells the story of a murderer, and he is also known as "America's first serial female killer".
The murderer was executed last year, and the media was in a big uproar at the time, and even she, who doesn't pay attention to social news, knew a lot. Unexpectedly, the boss not only wanted to make this movie, but even the script had already been written.
