Chapter 32: A Memorable Criminal
And after the viral marketing method has been played once, the audience has immunity, and it is unlikely to achieve the effect this time. If you don't play well, it can even have the opposite effect.
It is with this in mind that Cooper once again speaks to "analyze" Lyla's future directorial path and help the audience predict her future depression and bleakness.
It's just that Cooper can see a lot of things, but he can't see the difference in Leila. He would never have known that she had not only the present, nor the full support of the Moran family, but also the future!
The trajectory of Hollywood's future development is all in her heart, how can she take a fork in the road, and how can she not seize the opportunity?
Tobin looked at Leila, very seriously. He is in his 50s this year, and he thinks that he has seen many people, and it is easy to judge many things from each other.
But he couldn't see her clearly, as if she in front of him was just a mist, and her real body was hidden in a deeper place, calmly hiding herself, and also calmly accumulating strength. There is no doubt that she will burst out of something amazing at any time she wants.
"You said you wanted to create a memorable criminal?"
"Yes. Leila said, "A criminal full of contradictions. Criminals who want to redeem lives on the one hand, and destroy lives on the other. ”
Tobin was intrigued by her statement. To be honest, his appearance restricts the development of his acting career, and generally those who ask him to act in movies also take a fancy to his vicious appearance and let him play some similar roles.
But like all actors, he also wants to play more characteristic roles. It doesn't have to be a hero, it doesn't have to be a hero who wants to save the world, it just needs a character that people can remember and reflect his characteristics.
So Leila's words were tantamount to poking at his itch.
"Why don't we find a suitable place to talk about it in detail?" Listening to the sound of the plane's announcement announcing the arrival of the destination, Leila smiled and made an invitation.
"It's a great honor. Tobin smiled without thinking about it.
Getting off the plane, Leila meets Claire, who has come to pick her up.
"Who is this?" her heart immediately lifted when she saw the "suspicious and vicious" man standing next to Leila. All kinds of bad speculations popped out of her mind in an instant, and her sweat pores opened nervously, and the whole person was also in a state of extreme vigilance.
"Hi Claire. Leila walked over to her.
"Who is this?" Claire stared at the man tightly, even though she didn't seem to be being held hostage, she didn't dare to let go for a moment.
Leila saw her nervousness, thought about it and realized what she was nervous about, and immediately smiled: "Claire, this is Mr. Tobin Bell, one of my favorite actors. Then she introduced Tobin to him.
"This is my special help, Miss Claire Hurt. ”
"Hello. Tobin kindly took the lead.
Claire shook hands with him in confusion and wondered, "Actor?"
Tobin was a very good-natured man, and he didn't feel rude to see that the other party didn't recognize him, but instead recognized him at a glance like Leila, and the experience of calling him by name was relatively new to him.
"Of course, Mr. Tobin has played a lot of interesting roles. Just now on the plane, because he gave me a really good idea, I think I know what I'm going to do for the next movie. ”
"That's great. Claire finally put her mind at ease and quickly apologized to Tobin for her gaffe.
Tobin smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.
"Let's go back to the office, I was just thinking about having a good talk with Mr. Tobin. ”
"Good. Claire put their luggage in the car and took them back to the Immortal Bird Company.
It wasn't until he entered the five-story office building of the Immortal Bird that Tobin was sure that he had really come by luck this time. When he first heard Leila say that she was a director, he was a little hesitant. Because the newspapers he saw were not very clear photos, but some blurry street photos.
While it does look like it, it's possible that it's just like it. Now that he has entered the company's base camp and seen what the staff calls her, he is truly sure that this Leila is Leila, the genius director who filmed witches.
After inviting people into the reception room and bringing in two cups of tea, Leila said, "There was once such a person, who was very happy, had a happy family and a rich life. But one day he got an incurable disease, and then he lost everything, and he lost faith in the world. ”
"He wanted to kill himself, but he failed to do so. So he becomes a criminal and captures some people he thinks are guilty and asks them to save their lives through games. ”
"If you were to play this criminal, what would you feel like him?"
Tobin pondered with a serious expression before he said, "He went through a huge transformation from having everything to losing everything. And he became a criminal from after the failed suicide, and it should be this failed suicide that made him understand the importance of life. Maybe he wants to use his way to let more people understand his feelings. ”
Leila's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she really wouldn't be the most suitable person for "jigsaw", and under her general and concise description, she figured out the mental state of jigsaw so quickly.
"You're saying it so well. I wonder if you'd like to play this role?"
Tobin pondered for a moment: "This role really appealed to me, and I would love to play it. But before that, I'd like to read the script first. ”
"Of course, that's as it should be. Leila was satisfied with his promise: "I will have someone contact your agent, and when the script on my side is created, it will be handed over to you as soon as possible." ”
Tobin smiled and nodded, "Okay, I think we're going to have a great collaboration." ”
Leila stood up and shook his hand, also smiling happily: "Yes, we will have a great collaboration, and at the same time, we will also create a character with a lot of potential." ”
With Tobin's assurance, Leila calls Louise as soon as he leaves.
"I need you to help me do two things. She said: "First, Mr. Tobin Bell, who has just left, will play an important role in my next film, and the communication and remuneration issues will be left to you." ”
"Okay, no problem. Louise nodded happily, and was very glad that the little boss did not interfere in the issue of salary again this time. She has always felt that the last time she was paid too much, although she had to admit that she did select three outstanding actors, her job is to reduce the budget, and the most unsightly thing is "waste".
"The second thing, I want you to buy a script for me. ”
"Buy the script again?" Louise remembered that the adaptation rights of the novel she bought from Japan last time still existed, so what script would she buy this time?
