Chapter 774: Into the Play
The new Batman movie is scheduled for the summer of '08 because Nolan wants to shoot his dream, a "Deadly Magic" that tells the story of a magician. And Lyra can't find time for the time being because of the late production of "The Lord of the Rings". So film production won't start until at least the middle of next year.
While it's true that she can do two movies at the same time, that's not what she wants. Making movies was more important to her than her life, and she had no way of accepting to take the same attitude as she did her work.
When she got home, she found a person sitting in the living room, a man with a strong presence.
"Roy?" she called uncertainly. Judging from the back, it was indeed Roy, but the feeling of that back gave her was a little different from usual.
The man with his back to her turned around after hearing the voice, and a pair of deep eyes seemed to have a fine light passing by, filling his body with an indescribable, but absolutely shocking momentum.
Lyra's footsteps suffocated as she was about to walk over, barely daring to find the Roy she knew from this man who looked exactly like Roy.
"Leila, you're back. With a familiar smile, the feeling she had just felt vanished as if it had been shattered, and she was once again the Roy she was familiar with.
"You just was?" she held her pounding heart in her hand, a little uncomfortable with the way he looked just now.
Roy was stunned for a moment, and when he figured out what she meant, he raised the script in his hand: "I'm reading the script." ”
"I see. Leila breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder he didn't act like him at all just now, it turned out to be in the play.
"What kind of film did you pick up? It looked very bold just now. Even she was so shocked that her heart almost jumped out.
The corners of Roy's mouth twitched, revealing a wicked smile: "Fascinated by me again?"
"Yes, yes. Speechless, Leila walked over to him and sat down, taking his script with her. "The Departed? ”
"Have you heard?" he asked curiously.
"Of course, Infernal Affairs, which was changed from Hong Kong, the original work is very exciting, but I didn't expect to make an American version now. What Leila didn't say was that the American version of "The Departed" would also be very good.
"Director Martin directed the work, in which Leo will also star, so he called me to audition. I read the script and thought it was pretty good, so I went. ”
"And got it?" Leila raised an eyebrow.
Roy looked at her with a smile, and the meaning couldn't be clearer. He, an Oscar-winning actor, is willing to play a supporting role for them, what else is there to be picky about?
The so-called audition is a disguise, mainly because the director is worried that he is too handsome and will attract the audience's attention to him as a person. But after performing for a while, everyone's worries are gone, what is acting like, he just has such outstanding strength.
"This is indeed a very classic film, and it should be even more exciting if it was directed by Martin. Let's do our best. Leila gave a few words of encouragement.
What she couldn't tell him was that the film won Martin the Golden Man for Best Director at the '79 Oscars, and also won a number of other awards, including the heaviest Best Picture. Leonardo was also nominated for Best Actor, and it can be said that the quality of the whole film is very guaranteed.
"Don't worry. Roy put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her on the forehead, "You have to trust your boyfriend, he's a real genius." ”
"Should I say that you are confident, or are you too thick-skinned?"
Roy grinned: "Not only am I thick-skinned, but I also have meat elsewhere. ”
He stood up and patted his ass in front of her, and his straight buttocks were really "fleshy".
...... "Well, sure enough, it's still the Roy she knows, and Leila thinks that when she enters the door, she sees that the man must be possessed by someone." What should I say if I change it to the next generation? My boyfriend can't be so cool?
Roy actually saw that he seemed to scare her just now, so he deliberately made her happy. After a few jokes, he remembered the report he had read in the newspaper today.
"Did you really buy shares in DC? Are you trying to bring the two comic companies together?"
"It's not that exaggerated. Leila smiled and shook her head, "I'm not that ambitious, it's just a compromise." Director Nolan traded his contract with me, and if I agreed to take over the follow-up to Batman, he would join my company. ”
And the trend of commercial movies in the future is bound to be occupied by superheroes, and acquiring some DC shares is definitely a profitable deal.
Roy was shocked by her words, "So you're really going to shoot Batman?"
"I'm afraid so. Leila smiled wryly: "I have no way to refuse Director Nolan's conditions. ”
"Looks like you're bullish on him. Roy understood what she meant, and she also knew that she wanted to bring into the company when she saw someone she admired, and she was worried about the company all the time, and she really worked hard enough. "First Michael Bay, now Nolan. Are you going to catch all the good directors in Hollywood?"
"If it had been a few years earlier, maybe I would have really brought in all the big directors, but unfortunately now several of them have become famous, and the price to pay if you want to win them over is too high. And even if I'm willing to pay a lot of money, people won't necessarily look up to my small company. ”
Roy scoffed at the three words she called "small company": "If your dragon soul is also called a small company, what about the companies in Hollywood that are not as good as you?" Such is also called a small company?
Layla smiled at the topic and didn't continue, "When did you start over there?"
"It's going to be soon, it's probably going to take a while, and it's said that the crew is ready to start filming at any time. Before that, you need to do some professional training. Fortunately, I am not bad, and I have the least training time among actors. ”
"That's good. Leila also believes that his unfailing efforts will allow him to add a lot of points to many movies.
Roy watched her take out the script from her bag, and curiously took it over and flipped through it: "Do you still need an actor?"
"I don't know. ”
"Give it an audition. He likes to appear in her films, which will give them more opportunities to meet in the little time they have together.
If he could, he would have turned down all his work and stayed by her side all the time. But he also knew that it was unrealistic, even if she didn't mind raising him, he didn't have the face to accept it.
