Chapter 65 Just a lack of public relations contacts and resources
"Alright, Miss Shepard, it's very good, that's all for now!"
After only one performance, Lucas interrupted the performance of the Cybill Shepherd in front of him, Spiel Shepherd, and then handed down the final judgment under the woman's somewhat uneasy eyes.
"Okay, okay. Seeing this, Shepard also understood her situation, she wanted to do something more, but finally turned away.
"The appearance is good, but it is quite suitable for the role of Laurie, as for the acting skills, although there is an experience of the Golden Globe Award for Best Female Newcomer, but it is still a little less meaningful, forget it, such an appearance is still easy to find, give up......"
"Wait, George, I think Shepard is not bad, since her appearance is suitable for the movie, let's wait for the time being, in case I can't find a suitable candidate in the end, I can use her. Seeing that Lucas was going to deny Shepard's qualifications, Walter immediately interrupted him and said that since he was ready to hook up with Shepard, Walter naturally couldn't let Lucas refuse Shepard to make a movie.
"But...... Forget it, Candy, leave Shepard's file pending. Lucas thought about it, but agreed to Walter's suggestion, after all, he has not met an actress who not only meets his image standards, but also meets his required acting skills, and now leave Shepard behind, if there is really no one to play, her image is indeed a good backup candidate.
"Yes, Mr. Lucas. Candy nodded, continuing his duties as an assistant and placing Shepard's file in the list of pending actors.
Seeing this, Walter was reassured, then got up and said, "I'll go back first, change my clothes, these damn coffee stains are so uncomfortable." ”
Walter pretended to be helpless to show the pile of coffee stains on his suit to Lucas and the others, and then used this as an excuse to say goodbye to Lucas and the others.
"Interesting, really funny. Lucas looked at Walter's back and shook his head and smiled, then picked up Jodie Foster's file, which he had placed on the table alone, looked at the little girl with rich acting experience on it, and muttered to himself, "Jodie Foster? I wish you had Walter said it so well." ”
Out of Burbank, Walter drove his repaired Cadillac, all the way to the white Chevrolet he had been following since he left the interview building, and the white Chevrolet was driven by Spiel Shepard.
Soon, after driving two streets, the white Chevrolet was then parked on the side of the street, and Walter carefully hid himself, and saw Shepard get out of the car with a dejected face, and then walked into a bar at the corner of the street.
LOOKING AT THE WOMAN'S SLIGHTLY LONELY FIGURE, WALTER THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT, AND THEN DROVE TO ANOTHER STREET, TO A CANALI STORE ON THAT STREET.
I just can't help believin'

……
In the bar, Elvis Presley's "I just can't help believin'" was played, and although the song was convinced, it made Shepard not have the slightest feeling of conviction that he would be chosen by Lucas.
The waiter added himself a glass of whiskey again, in fact, Shepard is not the first time to make a movie, as early as two years ago, Shepard, who knew that it would be too late if he didn't transform, also acted in two movies with his own resources, and even the first film she participated in The Last Picture Show - "The Last Movie" After its release, it received eight nominations at the 44th Academy Awards, including two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and two nominations for Best Supporting Actress together, and finally easily won the Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards.
Of course, none of the two Best Supporting Actress nominations were Shepard's, although "The Last Movie" tells the story of three pairs of men and women in a movie theater who experienced cruel youth from their student days to entering society, which led to the fact that this movie can be said to be unable to be nominated for Best Actor and Actress because of the lack of actors and actresses.
But in the competition with the other two supporting actresses, in the film "The Last Movie", which has a good reputation at the box office, and even has nominations for Best Director and Best Film, Shepard couldn't get a nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and lost directly, which shows that her acting skills are indeed not very good.
You must know that the supporting actors and actresses of the Oscars have always liked to play bold and novel, Mary Badham - Mary Badham was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "To Kill a Mockingbird" when she was ten years old. Therefore, if Shepard's acting skills are still at the basic level, I can't say that the Oscars will have a big record of three supporting actresses in a movie for the sake of gimmicks. Anyway, in the final analysis, "The Last Movie" won two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, which basically clearly explains the attribution of the award, and it is not bad to add one more nomination.
However, despite this, Shepard still relied on this movie to be nominated for Best Female Newcomer in the Film category at the 29th Golden Globe Awards, of course, the other two supporting actresses at the Golden Globe Awards are still the two supporting actresses competing with her.
Sometimes, this Golden Globe Award for Best Female Newcomer has become a consolation for her, allowing her to continue to believe in her film dreams. However, everything is not so good, and she rarely received the opportunity to perform in movies after that, until this year, relying on some insider trading, she received a movie performance opportunity called "Flowers", but although the movie was still released, she still did not catch on.
Later, after hearing that Disney was going to make an urban life romance film, with the mentality of giving it a try, Shepard still chose urban romance, a genre movie that doesn't require too much acting skills.
She doesn't believe that she is really so bad, she is a woman who wants to be famous, Shepard knows that it doesn't matter if her acting skills are poor, as long as the public relations are in place, there will always be unexpected surprises, and for her now, she just lacks the connections and resources of public relations......
A deep sigh slowly sounded in Shepard's heart, and even her face was a downfall, Hollywood, a vanity fair, wants to become famous, as long as those of them who have climbed up from the bottom of the model step by step, will know the difficulty.
"Who is so bad to make this beautiful lady so lonely? What a sin......
Just as Shepard was still sad, a familiar man's voice appeared behind her......
