Chapter 17: Invitations
Charlize was talking to herself in a daze, not expecting a response, even she thought she knew the final answer, one she couldn't like anyway. This is Hollywood, and if you want to work here, you have to succumb to its rules, don't you?
Then Leila answered her.
"I don't think so. If you don't succeed, you don't work hard enough, and if you want to get any results, ask yourself if you are doing everything possible to achieve that goal. ”
Although Charlize has a beautiful face, it doesn't mean that she is really a vase, in fact, she is more serious and intelligent than her peers, and she already knows what to do after thinking about Lyla's words.
"Yes, I will not give up, and one day I will use my strength to prove my worth in Hollywood!"
Leila smiled slightly, "That's right. "If she hadn't realized that, this beautiful South African diamond would never have been honored by her. It's not that her words are so moving, but Charlize already has his own answer in his heart, but he just didn't realize it.
"Although the heroine has been decided this time, we still have a few supporting roles that have not yet found suitable candidates, are you interested?" asked Lyra, after a moment's thought. She liked this serious girl and wanted to give her a little help.
"Of course, of course!" agent Mike hurriedly responded. There are roles, or several choices, where to find such a good thing?
At this time, he also saw that his artist was very popular with the other director. This is not just an ordinary rookie director, she has her own film company, and the powerful Moran family is behind her, as long as she doesn't get tired of playing the "movie game" for a day, it means that once there is a suitable role, Charlize will have more possibilities than others to be the one who was chosen!
In Hollywood, there are so many actors wandering downstream looking for work, and how many can meet such good luck?
Mike glanced at Charlize happily, and felt that he had done the right thing to dig her out of the modeling industry before, and this beauty would definitely become his most valuable cash cow in the future!
"Yes, I'm very interested. Charlize, who seemed to have been hit on the head by luck, didn't believe in his good luck, and only reacted at the secret signal of his agent.
"I don't know what you think of Japanese horror films. Leila suddenly changed the subject, leaving the other two stunned at the same time.
"Japan is a beautiful country with very beautiful traditions. Mike didn't know why, so he could only praise dryly.
And Charlize was honest and told the truth even in the eyes of his agent: "Sorry, I don't know much about that country." ”
"Huh. Don't be nervous, I'll just ask casually. Leila smiled, "If I wanted to invite you to my second film, would you be happy to come back for another audition? ”
This is another happiest meteorite that fell on the heads of Charlize and Mike. What does this mean? This is the rhythm ordered by the director!
If it weren't for the fact that the director was a girl, Mike would have thought that some hidden dark rules would be encountered by his little Charlize again.
"That's great!Miss Moran, with your eyes, I'm sure your first film will be a big hit!" he stood up excitedly and bowed to Moran again and again.
After seeing off Charlize and the others, Demi asked suspiciously, "Miss Moran, have you already started preparing for the second movie?"
"It's not a preparation, it's just an idea. Leila took the pen on the table and twirled it around her fingertips a few times, then found a piece of paper and wrote a few names on it: "You give this to Louise and ask her to buy the rights to adapt the book." ”
"Okay. Demi took it in her hand: "Thering? Koji Suzuki? This is a Japanese novel?"
"Is there a problem?" Leila raised an eyebrow.
Demi hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be "very busy", hugged the folder and walked outside: "No, I'll go and hand it to Louise now." ”
She does have a problem, it's still quite a problem, but she doesn't have the courage to say it!
Hollywood is very xenophobic, and the relationship between Japan and the United States is very good, but it does not mean that the United States can adapt to the Japanese language. In her impression, she doesn't seem to have seen much of a movie adapted from a Japanese novel, so even if she does, she shouldn't be well-known, right?
But these problems are not something she needs to worry about, as a secretary, she has to do what the boss says.
Not many people may know what the name Thering means, but if you talk about "Midnight Bell", I'm afraid there will be a bunch of people who show a sudden expression and say "oh~".
The female ghosts in Japanese horror stories are usually very beautiful and very scary, Charlize's beauty reminds her of Japanese stories, and when it comes to Japanese horror stories, the most famous are probably Sadako in Midnight and Gacoko in Curse.
In 1998, Japan made a movie version of the Midnight Bell, which made this terrifying story successfully scare countless people. Its success made Hollywood unable to sit still, and in 2002 a remake of the American version was launched, which received many praises and box office.
She admires Charlize and wants to give her a chance, and "Midnight Bell" should be a good choice.
As for why the second movie is still a horror film...... Can it be said that the cost of such a film is very small?
Layla felt that with the memories of her past life, she could choose to have the Immortal Bird Company specialize in horror movies. It's best to think of horror movies when people who like horror movies think of the horror movies they make when they mention the name of the immortal bird, and it would be better if they could be scared half to death by the way.
What could be a more appealing decision than the fact that it doesn't need to be too costly, and that you can gain a foothold in a certain aspect?
"That's it!" Leila decided, and walked out from behind her desk satisfied. The hero and heroine have been decided, and it's time for her to officially start work!
Speaking of which, "Blair the Witch" really doesn't have much to prepare. The main props are a portable video recorder and a DV camera. Fortunately, it's 1996, and if it had been a year or two ago, I'm afraid she would have given up the promotional stunt of the first DV movie.
In addition, several supporting characters are easy to find, and the standard she says to Louise is two words "weird". The stranger the supporting characters, the better, and it's best to make people feel hairy at first glance. Of course, even if they can't hit that level, it doesn't matter, with the right sound effects and shadows, they will always make them an indispensable part of a horror movie!
