Chapter 489: Approaching

Since that day, Lyra has barely seen Roy. Every day when she came home from the company, she was told that he was training in dance. So much so that they live under the same roof, and it is very difficult to see each other!

In Roy's words, he has the worst dance foundation of all the people competing for the leading actor, and if he wants to get a role from it, he can only improve his dancing skills in the shortest possible time. Fortunately, he has studied martial arts for several years, and the flexibility of his body is very good, and his strength is enough, so learning to dance is twice the result with half the effort.

Soon, the second round of screening was also completed, and there were two or three people each for the final male and female protagonists and some important roles, just waiting for the director and producer as well as the parties with the right to speak to make the final evaluation and determine the candidates.

Layla thought for a long time after receiving the information from Disney. She didn't expect Roy to want to get this role, she saw his hard work, and she knew his talent very well, if there were no accidents, of course she would prefer to choose him.

Coincidentally, the actor of the original version, Richard Gere, also appeared on the list of candidates for the leading actor. He is a very strong opponent, and he played an important role in the popular musical "Hot Prodigal Son", which is believed to be the reason why he occupies an important place in the hearts of others.

As for the heroine and supporting actress, there are also those in the original version, including Catherine Zeta-Jones, whom she likes very much. It's a pity to say that if it weren't for Nicole's appearance, this year's hit "Moulin Rouge" would have a place for her.

After reading the list of personnel, Leila relaxed a little, at least they are all acceptable-looking actors, even if some are a little mediocre, I believe they will have a very good image under the rectification of Janet's team.

As for Roy, after thinking about it, she decided not to interfere, lest the role he got with his strength would also be criticized by outsiders. Since he is willing to fight for the role with hard work and strength, then she only needs to silently cheer him behind his back.

The final roster was officially decided at the end of August, and Roy really defeated Richard Gere to become the leading actor in "Chicago".

Getting the news made Leila happy for a while. She knew that this result would be inseparable from his own efforts, as well as the global hit of "Pirates of the Caribbean". It's good to get a role in "Chicago", and this movie may help him get an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

It's a pity that he is too young to lose at such a young age, and it is unlikely that he will win the award at such a young age. However, being able to get a nomination will definitely benefit him a lot in his future acting career.

After the actors are decided, it is time to set up the crew and the stage. Those that take a while, just use this time to allow Leila to study the filming of musical and dance films.

It's just that everyone found that since entering September, Lyra seems to have lost her soul, and she seems to be unable to give up all day.

Her abnormality was discovered not only by the people around her, but also by the people in the company. This made some rumors gradually spread, such as could she be nervous because she felt that she couldn't make a song and dance film, or whether the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" could exceed 500 million made her very worried?

After three months of release, only a few theaters are still showing "Pirates of the Caribbean", and I believe that all of them will be released after the summer season passes. And the overseas box office is still harvesting every day. Taken together, the global box office has reached 493 million, and only $7 million is left from 500 million.

The whole of Hollywood is watching her box office results, wanting to see if she really raised the box office record from 300 million to 500 million all at once. Don't look at the difference of only 200 million, it is not an exaggeration to call it a moat. There are many directors who have made 300 million box office movies, and 500 million is already an excellent record of top commercial film directors.

However, no matter how the rumors spread and the media speculated, Leila still looked restless. The real reason is known only to herself, and that is that 911 is coming soon!

She thought she could ignore the incident and ignore the fact that so many people died in the incident. But as the time approached, she began to wonder if she needed to do something about it.

Of course, that's just the occasional idea that pops into her mind. Even for herself and her family, she can't really tell the story. But again, she didn't know how to save her family from the fallout.

She also vividly remembers how big the economic and financial impact of 911 was, and it will remain an indelible scar on the head of the United States many years later. Will my grandfather's company be affected by this, and will her career be affected?

She was in such a hurry to put a large amount of investment in the East, in addition to wanting to broaden her film path, she also had an idea of maintaining value. The East is a place where 911 has less influence, and it is certainly the most appropriate thing to invest money in.

She's fine, but what about my grandfather?

"Leila, did you quarrel with Roy?" When returning home to New York on the weekend, Janet hugged little William while worrying about Leila, who was sitting on the couch in a daze.

Her daughter has been sensible since she was a child, so that she often feels that her mother can do too little for her, and especially hopes that she can rely on herself a little more.

Lyra came back to her senses, "What?"

Janet sighed, put little William into Channing's arms, and then pulled her to sit beside her: "I asked if you had a quarrel with Roy, and I heard Louise say that you have been acting like you have been thinking about something recently. I'm your mom, and no matter what happens, I'll help you out. ”

"We didn't quarrel. "Leila didn't expect to be mistaken for her recent malfunction. "Even if it's noisy, I can't find anyone, I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time. ”

Janet said "oh~" and blinked ambiguously: "You miss Roy, right?" Without waiting for Leila to react, she patted her daughter's hand regretfully: "It's a pity that you are still young, and Dad will definitely not agree to you getting married so early." ”

Leila smiled wryly, she didn't know how to explain to them the heavy shackles that were pressing on her, no one knew how much she wanted to tell others what was going on in her heart at the moment.

"I don't know what's going on lately, I'm in a bad mood, like something really bad is going to happen. She tried to reveal something: "Mom, what the hell do you think is wrong with me?"

Janet is a romantic person, and she believes in the divination constellations, so it's not a problem if it's just a hunch.
