Chapter 532: I'm going to get the prize
Early the next morning, after talking to the producers, Leila went to yesterday's practice studio. As soon as I entered, I saw that the three main actors, including Roy, were waiting there.
"Hi there, I'm Leila Moran. She was the first to introduce herself.
"Hello, Director Moran, I'm Catherine Zeta-Jones. ”
"I'm Renee Zellweger. ”
"Roy Jixing. After the two ladies introduced themselves, Roy joined in the fun.
Leila looked at him with a smile, "Okay, I'll remember your name this time." ”
Renee laughed out loud, she didn't expect her to be such an interesting director.
Leila looked at her with a smile as well. There are three main characters in Chicago, Roy, who works as a lawyer, and the woman involved in both cases. Zeta-Jones plays one of them, which she knew for a long time, while Renee is another candidate given by Disney.
Leila had already told the producers that she didn't have any special requirements for the candidate, as long as she could achieve the movements she wanted after training. Although the shooting is very comfortable and smooth sailing, it is also a very fulfilling thing for the director to be able to shoot a not very good actor to a super high standard.
Renee was one of those who recommended her. Leila doesn't care what situation she came into the crew, she'll keep her as long as she's fit for the movie. In fact, the three people in the original movie, except for Richard Gere who was replaced by Roy, the other two are still the original team.
From the choice of Renee, Leila can see Disney's ambitions. Last year, in 2001, Renee had just been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for "BJ's Single Diary." For this song and dance film, what the producer wants is to borrow the style of "Moulin Rouge" and brush up on the trophy of the awards season, so that this very powerful and potential female star will be found.
As for Zeta Jones, not to mention, Leila is still quite impressed with her, because she is not only a very powerful actor, but also has a husband who is more famous and older than her - Michael Douglas.
Douglas once won the Oscar for Best Picture for "One Flew Over the Asylum", and also won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Wall Street", which can be regarded as a powerful name in Hollywood. And his marriage to Zete Jones is also talked about.
The two people who met at a film festival accidentally learned that they were born on the same day and month after a very speculative conversation, and then the 24-year-old difference got married after 9 months of love.
It's another romantic love story, and every time I think about it, I make Leila feel the magic of fate.
"After a while, all the people who participated in the dance practice would go to Rob Marshall and ask him to test the results of the practice. Leila's gaze turned over the three of them, and she said with a smile: "I don't have much research on singing and dancing, but I still have some experience in making movies." I won't hide it in front of you, I'm going to send the Oscar to receive the trophy this time. I know it's a myth that I can only win the best director at my age, but that doesn't stop me from helping you get a little golden man. ”
As an actor, would anyone not like that little golden man?
Definitely not.
Nominations or something, the two actresses have won a lot, but they just can't pick the final fruits of victory. So Lyra's words at this time can be regarded as speaking to their hearts.
"My goal this time is to win the award, so I may be a little more fierce during the shooting, and I hope you can cooperate with me. Of course, I'm not the kind of person who can't listen to other people. Leila smiled: "If there is anything you think is bad, you can discuss it with me, and I will weigh it carefully, but if you still decide to maintain my original idea after weighing, then I can only ask you to bear with it." ”
What she said sounded a bit overbearing, not only letting others give opinions, but also saying that this opinion would not necessarily be heard, and no matter how it sounded, it would be like a push.
But in this case, it has already given a lot of face in the ears of these three people. After all, she is a director, and she is also a director with a lot of energy and strength in Hollywood. Looking at her achievements that she has never failed, you can see that she is very good at the position of director.
And they are just actors, and they can't compare with the director in filming after all, and it is likely that the opinions they put forward are not as good as they imagined.
As a director, Leila's willingness to listen to and measure their proposals is a kind of respect for them, which is better than not listening to anything, right? If Leila really doesn't listen to them, no one from top to bottom will say that she, the director, is doing something wrong.
So the two ladies smiled and agreed, not to mention Roy, and Layla told him to do anything.
The atmosphere of this conversation was deliberately created by Leila to appear very peaceful.
The last time she helped another company shoot was Chen Long's "Rush Hour", and the filming process was not good. She occasionally thinks about it, and she also feels that her attitude at that time was too hard, in fact, as long as she is willing, the stiff atmosphere of the crew at that time can be repaired. But she didn't, and simply let it go when she thought it didn't matter.
If it is a crew in her own company, and she is a person who eats by herself, she can naturally complete her work comfortably. But she can't never make movies for other companies in the future, so how to deal with interpersonal relationships outside is a problem she faces.
In fact, in her previous life, her temper was really not so big. She can throw away the festival for a little sponsorship, and her ability to control the crew is quite good. It was now that she grew up in a rich family, and her temper was raised.
But isn't it bad to have a big temper? The so-called not being in her position, not seeking her own politics, and living in the environment in which she lives, if she really has no temperament, it is estimated that she will not be looked down upon by others, but will be regarded as a sign of cowardice and incompetence. What she needs to do is to take a suitable value between her personality and temperament, and then try to keep the crew in her hands while not having a good share, and create a harmonious and loving atmosphere by the way.
And there is another thing that is different from last time, that is, her reputation is higher. Before filming "Rush Hour", all she could do was a few horror movies. Although the box office is high, it is impossible to say that it can really make other directors look up to it, at most she is surprised that she made such a high-grossing movie at a young age.
It's different now, she's already the director of "Kill Bill" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". The former is sought after as the pinnacle of violent aesthetics, and the latter even won nearly 700 million at the global box office.
That's right, Pirates of the Caribbean did take so much. When it broke 600 million, it was about to be released, but Laila had an accident and her life and death were unknown, so people put their worries about her on her movie, and they took tens of millions more. It's a pity that it was more affected by 911 at that time, otherwise it would be absolutely fine to break 700 million.
