At the party that day, Levy said that Winona might win the Oscar, but Winona didn't answer, just laughed it off, and treated it as if Levy's movie had just won an actor, and she was a little too confident. However, what she didn't know was that Levy was confident in this.

First, it was indeed because Kevin Spacey won the award, which made Levy know that he had changed something and had more confidence in changing the future. Second, this is also because he has enough trust in this movie, and he is also very confident in the year when this movie will participate in the selection.

This is 1998, 98 Oscar-winning actresses, and Levy still remembers it very clearly: Gwyneth. Paltrow's level, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the worst actress in the Oscars in 20 years, and the only one who can compete with her for the worst actress is Nicole. Kidman too. She was able to win the award largely because she took advantage of a huge advantage: her competitors were similar to this year, three of the four were foreigners, and one was Aunt May. The Oscar selection has always discriminated against foreigners, and Aunt Mei nominated too many people who were aesthetically fatigued, so she won the award. And if he can train Winona Ryder's acting skills, he doesn't have to act too well to defeat Gwyneth. Paltrow was still a breeze.

Levy didn't hate Gwyneth too much, and he didn't care about her feud with Winona. However, in the past 20 years, the weakest heroine is her. If you want to make an actor popular, you naturally have to pick a soft persimmon first, and if you don't start with her, who else can you attack? It's not a matter of having a grudge, or it's a matter of being too weak.

And, if it's something else. Levy wouldn't have had that much confidence, but this time the movie. It's angel Amelie. This movie is a romantic comedy - a romantic comedy is inferior to a drama film in terms of plot. And it is not enough to highlight the theme, but there is no doubt that the image of the heroine can be highlighted in such a movie.

And Angel Amelie, this movie is still very different from other movies. This movie can be said to be a one-man show in a sense. Other actors will appear, but their roles are all supporting roles, and their role in the movie is to set off the heroine. Even including the male lead, the role in this movie is not so heavy. This is a movie that belongs to the heroine herself, and compared to other good movies that require the cooperation of others to be able to shoot the effect. This movie definitely highlights the status of the heroine - at any time, the heroine who dares to carry a play alone is absolutely worthy of admiration and can win favor.

Moreover, in addition to these things, Winona also has a very good background: she has already won two Oscar nominations, and she also has a reputation as a jade girl in Hollywood. Her image is still very good, and if she can really turn over, she wants to overpower Gwyneth. It's still not a big problem.

And if she can win, then Levy is the one who cultivated the Oscar-winning actress. has this kind of fame, and when you cooperate with an actress in the future, the other party will definitely be more willing to help you. And at that time to play the unspoken rules......

Well, I thought about it too much, and what I had to do at that time was to be upright. Keeping the right and rejecting the evil, what an unspoken rule. It must be categorically denied that there are no unspoken rules in Hollywood. We have a short-lived spark of love!

The words were a bit of a joke, but Levy didn't take them too lightly. He knows that if he can win two Oscar winners in his two movies, he will get a great reputation for improving the acting skills of actors. Of course, the actors like to work with directors who can highlight their acting skills, and their acting skills have improved, which is a lifelong thing.

Of course, if you want to help actors perform well, you have to know these things. If you want Winona to win the Oscar, the other actors in this movie have to work hard to choose.

In addition to Bell, most of the other actors are drama actors who were hired by Winona to act on Broadway. The scenes in this movie are relatively scattered, and there are many people of all ages who are needed, and they all have a small number of lines and opportunities to perform, and it is best to use drama actors.

Drama is very popular in New York, and there are many top performers here. Drama is more respected by actors than movies and television, because movies and TV series can be called cult, but drama must be passed over again, which is a greater test of people's acting skills. After many actors become famous in movies, they go to Broadway to perform dramas, because dramas can better satisfy the actors' drama addiction.

These supporting roles are basically no problem, and the remaining two places are one of the narration of the movie, and the other is the actor of the childhood Emily.

The role of Emily in childhood is a big problem, and any movie, as long as it involves uncontrollable factors such as children, cats, and dogs, is very troublesome. These actors can't be controlled by reason and logic, they can only coax and persuade to come - sometimes, when filming a scene with cats and dogs, in order to let the cats and dogs perform well, the crew has to buy dog food from a warehouse to feed the dogs and ensure that the dogs are obedient.

And children are even more troublesome, one is that when they act, they don't understand what is called positioning, what is lighting, they film purely according to what they think, what they want, and they have to coax like cats and dogs, and second, children acting, there are only two situations, one is that they are acting nothing, and the result is a mess, and then there is a very natural outstanding, noisy, but it sets off the poor acting skills of adults.

In this movie, Emily doesn't have to worry about being overwhelmed as a child - she doesn't have many scenes in total, not even lines, it's basically just four scenes of a child eating, screaming, taking pictures, and playing pranks. She has almost no lines and no rivalry, so naturally she doesn't have to worry about this.

But the age required for this actor is very young, according to the setting in the script, it should be a child of five or six years old. There are very few children at this age who are actors, and it is even more difficult to find a suitable one.

But Levy still has requirements for this role: a good child star can add a lot of color to the movie, a young actor like Natalie Portman or Dunst. After the performance, it was all impressive, and Levy still wanted to meet one. It's just that it's hard to find such actors - dramas don't have the habit of using children. This actor is not something that can be solved on Broadway.

Unfortunately, the only child star Levy has worked with is Lindsay Lohan - she has acted in Levy's TV series. It's a pity that she has made other movies now, and her fame has grown, and she is unwilling to act in such a five-minute clip anymore, and she is 12 years old, and her age does not meet the requirements. Since Levy wanted a younger child, he had to find someone else.

The group of child stars born in the 80s is obviously not good. They're all a little older. It is impossible to play the role of a little child of five or six years old. Among the post-90s child stars, it is not so easy to find a suitable one - they are still too young, and their talent can't be shown at all.

Winona has also prepared a candidate: she has proposed some young actors who have now acted in commercials for Levi: such as Christine. Although Stuart was just eight years old, he was already shooting commercials. However, this child's appearance is really a little too boyish, and it does not match the sweetness of Emily required in the movie, which is also not satisfactory to Levy. In the movie, Emily's big eyes. But it's a very important feature.

And this actor, at Levy's insistence, soon found a new replacement: someone recommended another advertising actor, Taylor. Mawson, the actor is only four and a half years old now. But I've also had the experience of shooting commercials in front of TV sets - even if it's just a 17-second chicken leg rice commercial. She is very consistent with Levy's requirements: not only has a long and cute round face, but also has a pair of big eyes, and she starred in this play. That is, the hair color is wrong, just dye the brown hair black. It couldn't have been better.

The only trouble is that she is a little young, but if her play is pressed back. It was also possible to wait until she was almost five years old to shoot - the child grew up very quickly, and in a few months she would be able to act in this play.

"I really didn't expect that a small child would become a problem...... What's even more unexpected is that these children have good performance experiences and families. ”

Privately, when Levy spoke to Winona, he also mentioned his opinion.

"Of course, if you are not a person who is involved in the entertainment industry, who will have nothing to do and send their children to make movies? That is, people in this circle like to send their children to shoot some commercials. ”

Winona and Bell are both child stars, and they know this very well, and Levy admits that he still underestimated their methods, but now that he has found someone, he is not in a hurry.

And the final question is the narration.

The narrative style of this movie is relatively special, and many places need narration to tell the story, so a good narrator actor is also one of the most important characters in this movie. For this actor, Winona also thought of manpower.

"I can contact Al Pacino, I think his voice should be okay. I have a good relationship with him, and he is willing to charge only 5 million to act,"

Winona is worthy of being a top star, and she does have a wide range of channels, and the people she contacts also make Levy quite satisfied. Al Pacino's acting skills have always been considered too dramatic, but his voice is indeed recognized as excellent and infectious, and it couldn't be better for him to be the narrator.

This result can be said to be a little overjoyed for Levy, and he inquired carefully about the situation: Alpacino and Winona both suffer from insomnia, they have a common language on the subject, and they both see a doctor, so they become friends.

"You've got a lot of friends." In this regard, Levy also praised it.

"If you need to, I can also ask Keanu Reeves to make a free cameo." Winona also showed off this without restraint, "I have a good relationship with him." ”

is worthy of being a big-name actor who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, and Levy can only say that he admires this, but Levy rejected her idea, "There is no need, the actors in our play are almost the same." ”

Yes, it's pretty much there - with the voice of Al Pacino, the acting of Bell, and the help of Broadway actors, the cast of this play is about the same.

With these people, this movie will definitely be able to be made. (To be continued......)
