Chapter 12: Actor Selection (1)
But from the other side, it doesn't seem to be so bad. It's more important to have an argument than not splashing at all, isn't it?
Just like the appearance of various dramas in the previous life, the worse you are scolded, the higher the ratings.
Leila is not afraid of arguments, nor is she afraid of being scolded, as long as she can turn all the attention into the box office, what does it matter if she is pointed at by a thousand people? Now she doesn't think that she can make a work that gets a little golden man at once, and making money to grow the company is the king.
"Leila, your mother's phone. Claire walked over with her phone and couldn't help but complain after handing it to her, "Why don't you like to carry it so much?"
Leila smiled and took it, accustomed to the smartphones of later generations, even with the best phones available today, she was not interested at all.
"Thanks, Claire. Thanking her, she walked in the direction of the office with her phone. "Mom, how are you doing?"
"Honey, what do you think about school?" said Janet's voice from the other end of the phone, with a cautious tone.
"Going to school?" Leila was a little surprised, and only then did she remember the fact that she had just turned 18.
She was found to have a brain tumor at the age of seven, and has spent most of her time in the hospital since then, and she can count the days she has been to school. She can't do strenuous exercise, and her mood can't have big ups and downs, and if a child who will hang up if she doesn't have a large amount of "sponsorship money", I'm afraid not many schools are willing to take it in.
Little Leila also felt that she was not popular in school, no one wanted to be friends with her, and even the teachers didn't communicate with her much, so school was never a word that represented happiness in her heart.
Janet didn't think so, that life was incomplete without student life in her mind. In the past, I didn't talk about being sick, and I could only receive education from private teachers at home. Now that she has fully recovered, it is too unreasonable to stop going to school, even if she has more knowledge than an ordinary college student can master, it does not mean that she can leave the most important part of her life.
She was worried that her suggestion would cause her daughter to be unhappy, so she could only carefully explain: "Don't worry, we can choose some schools with a good educational atmosphere." What do you think of Wellesley College? Women's College, there won't be those bad guys who come out and spoil your mood. ”
Leila pinched her forehead, not knowing what to answer. Just because she's not interested in playing with boys doesn't mean she likes to be with girls. In the past, little Leila couldn't find friends because of health problems, but after she came, she was rehabilitating, studying, and adapting to the environment, and she didn't have the time or mood to make any friends.
"Mom, I don't think I need to learn anything more. You should know that I wrote a script and wanted to assemble a team to shoot it, so how could I have time to go to school?"
"I know, but don't you think it's better to study specifically and systematically? If you like to be a director, why don't you go to the Southern California Academy of Cinematic Arts? George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are from there. Or New York University's film school, or UCLA if you don't want to be too far from home. ”
Janet was clearly prepared, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she gave a few options.
Leila finds that whatever she says is unlikely to be useful, so she simply uses the word "drag".
"I see, I'll think about it. ”
After repeated reassurances that she would think about it, Janet hung up the phone contentedly. What she didn't know was that when Lyra's phone was put down, school or something was completely left behind.
Maybe she needs some expertise, but not now. There are still many things waiting for her to do, how can she have time to go back to school? After graduating with the first grade in her previous life, she has long been free of theoretical knowledge, and even her mastery of things far exceeds the current level. What she needs most is practice, to make a movie with her own hands!
Louise's audition didn't end until 5 p.m., and many people were left who didn't meet Lyra's requirements. The good thing is that she is very experienced and can basically decide in a few minutes whether it is the person they need or not.
"These are the last few people to choose, so see for yourself. ”
Louise handed Leila a stack of documents and photographs.
"Okay. Leila glanced at her, already understanding what she meant.
Dare to love or coax her as a child, and deliberately put the final choice in her hands, do you want her to have an addiction to casting?
Well, she had to admit that if she hadn't had too many similar experiences in her previous life, she would have been very interested in it.
Smiling, she picked up the list of auditioning actresses.
Not surprisingly, Kate and Charlize are both in it, and their resumes are not much different from what she remembers. It's just that her choice disorder is about to attack again. She wants both!
Seeing that her eyes stayed on the photos of the two of them, Louise hurriedly said: "I think Kate is really good, although she is an Australian drama major, her acting skills are very good." So the age is a little bit out of the range, but I still left her information behind. ”
Leila's required age is 18 to 25 years old, and Kate, who was born in 1969, is already 27 years old, which obviously does not meet the requirements. However, if Louise can go against the requirements and keep people, it can be seen that she really impresses people with her strength.
Leila answered, and looked at Charlize's profile again.
"She once played a role in "Chicago Ghost 3", and I think she has a good expression when she does horror. It's just a pity that it's too pretty. Louise sighed with some regret, she is a woman, and naturally understands what a beautiful woman means in Hollywood. If you're unlucky, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the title of vase for the rest of your life.
"yes, it's beautiful. Layla looked at the photos in the papers. Charlize in her early 20s is at the moment of youth and beauty, and her bright eyes seem to overflow from the photo, and even she as a woman can't help but admire.
There are also 3 actresses' profiles, which can be selected by Louise from hundreds of auditioners, which shows that they also have some strength, but their opponents are too strong, so that their poor starlight is not left at all.
couldn't make a decision for a while, so Leila had to pick up the actor's information again. There is only one heroine, but the actor needs two, so he won't be lucky enough to have a future Oscar winner, right?
She is purely "happy in suffering", and when she opened it, she found that she might really be favored by the god of fate, although there is no future actor among the actors, there are also amazing people.
"Michael Fassbender ......" she pronounced the name, the corners of her eyes twitching.
It turned out to be Fassbinder, nicknamed "French Shark"!
