On the weekend, Lin Mingyang and his agent Ex got together to discuss the filming of "Cinderella's Glass Phone". Acks helped Lin Mingyang find a photographer who had worked with him to take charge of the film, and the rest of the crew could be hired temporarily, but the list of actors was left undecided.

According to the original plan, Lin Mingyang revised the plot of the film in his memory, but he was not ready to replace the original heroine. Speaking of the heroine in the original play, the current Lin Mingyang has some relationship with her. Both of them are teenage stars that Disney is promoting, and the girl named Hillary Duff has just captured the hearts of many young American audiences by starring in the TV series "Civilian Diva" broadcast on Disney Channel, and has become a popular idol star among teenagers.

It is said that the current artist contracts of the two are signed by Disney Company, which can be regarded as brothers and sisters, and Exx has worked at Disney for a long time and is very popular, so it should not be difficult to invite Hilary Duff to star in this movie. Hilary Duff was also interested in the script after getting it, but her agent, the "wicked woman" who had been greeted countless times by Ex behind her back, refused the invitation on the grounds that the director of the film was too young and the whole shooting was a farce.

Lin Mingyang advanced the film by a year, and there are indeed many unpredictable changes. After being rejected by Hillary Duff, because he had no scruples, Lin Mingyang's thinking broadened. The first thing he thought of was Keira Knightley, who he had just worked with.

Of course, this choice also contains a little bit of Lin Mingyang's own bad taste, he revised the script, so the heroine is often ridiculed by her sister for her flat chest in the film. Such a character design can be said to be tailor-made for Keira Knightley, but when Lin Mingyang went to the other party with the script, he was told that the schedule was full and people were not available now.

touched the ashes of his nose, and wasted time revising the script in vain, Lin Mingyang can be regarded as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot this time. With the idea of surpassing the original play, Lin Mingyang naturally wanted to find a more beautiful heroine than Hilary Duff, and after that, Exx offered him several candidates, but he didn't like them. is not at the right age to be more beautiful than Hillary Duff, and the right age is not as beautiful as Hillary Duff, Lin Mingyang encountered this kind of casting embarrassment when he was a director for the first time.

Ex reported the cost of the preparation of the film in the past week to Lin Mingyang. Although Lin Mingyang said that he was playing, but after it really started, it was more real, and all the preparation standards could not be low, the $500,000 that Brooksheimer gave at the beginning, this only cost more than half of it at the beginning, anyway, Lin Mingyang was ready to advance his own money, and he didn't care about this, but Ex on the side shook his head, in his eyes, Lin Mingyang has become an out-and-out "loser".

After Ex finished reporting the account, he found that Lin Mingyang's attention was not on talking to him at all, this guy has been wandering up recently, and he doesn't know what he is thinking. Ex was about to wake him up from his "fugue" state when his phone rang.

The call was made by Brooksheimer, and although he made a gesture of "throwing his hands off the shopkeeper" after dropping the $500,000 check, he was actually very concerned about the progress of the film's preparations. Especially after hearing that Lin Mingyang's casting hit a wall everywhere, he also repeated his previous suggestion, but Lin Mingyang categorically refused.

"Ex, how's the film going?" Every time he called, he asked the same question at first.

"It didn't go well!" Ex replied with a sad face.

"You have to urge Felix to hurry, I don't want to wait until next year, you told me that the film is still in the pipeline." Brooksheimer on the other end of the phone was in a somewhat restless mood.

"Or because of the choice of the heroine, I have tried my best." Ex told the truth: "I'll think of something else. ”

"Okay, call me if you have news!" After hanging up the phone, Brooksheimer was thinking about it, and at that moment, his assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sir, there is a lady out there who calls herself Lady Richard who wants to see you."

Brooksheimer rubbed his aching head, he knew several Richards, and in order to determine the identity of this Mrs. Richard, he added another question. "Did she say her full name?"

"Judy Lowe"

"Is that her?" The familiar name reminded Brooksheimer of a long-deceased friend, "Did she come alone?" ”

"And a young lady!"

"Calculate the time, little Kate should also go to college!" Brooksheimer muttered to himself, then straightened his attire, "Please let them in!" ”

The mother and daughter who walked into the office, the first thing that attracted Brooksheimer's attention was the tall girl with long light brown hair behind Mrs. Richard, especially her eyes, which emitted a bright light like a jewel, which strongly attracted Brooksheimer's attention. It can be said that the girl in front of her combines the elegance of classical beauty and the innocence of modern beauty, and even people like Brooksheimer, who are used to seeing all kinds of beauties, are a little dizzy by her stunning beauty.

After a short pause, Brooksheimer suddenly realized his gaffe, he cleverly covered up his embarrassment with a hearty laugh, and then quickly stepped forward and made a courtesy hug with the girl's mother, "Judy, after all these years, you still look so beautiful and moving!" ”

Compared with her own daughter, Mrs. Richard lacks the intoxicating beauty of beauty, but has an indifferent and elegant temperament. Facing her deceased husband's old friend for many years, a sweet smile finally bloomed on her face, "After so many years, your praise for women is still beautiful and moving, and your English vocabulary as a Hollywood gold medal producer needs to be improved!" ”

"How to use beautiful words, that's what screenwriters should consider." Brooksheimer suddenly sighed a little, how similar the scene in front of him was to the first visit to his friend's house many years ago, and the conversation between him and Judy was almost the same as back then, the only difference was that the friend had passed away, and the little girl who pestered him to tell the story back then had grown up Chengren.

Mrs. Richard also seemed to be touched by the scene before her, which reminded her of her dead husband, and a sad look appeared on her face. Seeing this, Brooksheimer hurriedly changed the topic, and he looked at the girl behind Judy curiously, "This is our little Kate, now that she has grown into a big girl, do you still want to listen to her uncle's story?" ”

Brooksheimer smiled at the blush on the girl's face, and after a brief pleasantry, Mrs. Richard finally explained the purpose of the trip.

"Kate wants to be an actress?" Brooksheimer, who heard the news, was first surprised, and then relieved, he looked at the girl named Kate, "Want to be an actor like your father?" ”

The girl nodded firmly, and then Brooksheimer looked at her mother again: "Are you relieved that she will stay in the United States alone to develop?" ”

"Actually, I don't have any other choice!" Mrs. Richard's Judy sighed helplessly, "This kid was admitted to Oxford, and then chose to drop out of school, what do you think I should do?" ”

Brooksheimer was also speechless, the girl in front of him who seemed to be weak and bullying on the outside was so stubborn, originally one Lin Mingyang was enough for him, and now there is another one, which is really enough for him to have a headache.

"I love acting, I want to be an actor!" The girl Kate bravely raised her head and looked at Brooksheimer, with a hint of pleading stubbornness in her pitiful eyes, which directly shattered all of Brooksheimer's psychological defenses.

After thinking about it for a long time, Brooksheimer finally decided, "I happen to have a movie in my hand, the script is top-notch, and the heroine's age requirement is just right for you." ”

The girl named Kate seemed extremely happy, she did not expect that she would be able to get a chance to play the heroine of a movie as soon as she arrived in the United States. Compared to her excitement, her mother, Judy, seemed much calmer. Judy, who used to be an actress, felt that this seemed too simple. The script of a movie can make Brooksheimer make such a "first-class" evaluation, and it is not a problem to find a suitable actress in Hollywood, but why did such a good thing fall on his daughter so easily?

Faced with her question, Brooksheimer spread his hands helplessly, "Because there is no investment in that movie, the actors are to be determined, and the most terrible thing is that its director is a sixteen-year-old boy who has never made a movie!" ”

"Why would we have to go all the way to the United States to beg you, the Hollywood gold producer, to make a movie like this?" Judy had a feeling of being deceived, and Kyle looked blankly at Brooksheimer, the guy who had given her hope and pushed her into the ravine.

"Listen to me first!" Facing the gaze of two beauties, one big and one small, Brooksheimer said that he was under a lot of pressure in his heart, and he sat up straight, "I said, the script is first-class, and the no investment means that no investor is willing to invest money in this film, but that boy is ready to pay for this movie himself in order to be a director." The boy, though stubborn, was a household name in the United States, and in addition to acting in several movies, he also wrote a novel called "Twilight". ”

"You're talking about Felix Lin?" Kate called out Lin Mingyang's name in one mouth.

"I told you, this guy is really famous!" Brooksheimer nodded to Judy, "Okay, let's talk about the movie." I don't know what nerve Felix is in the wrong position and insists on being the director of the film himself, but with his current fame, it is not enough to support the trust of investors and those well-known actors, so so far, the heroine of the film has been vacant. The reason why I recommend Kate give it a try is because Felix guy has never played according to common sense, and maybe he will succeed this time. Even if that guy really messes up the movie, it won't be much of a loss to Kate. ”

――――

Hung up the phone depressedly, when Ex returned to his seat, Lin Mingyang was still "out of the world", Exx didn't bother, but ordered another cup of coffee and drank it by himself.

As the cup of coffee bottomed out, Ex's cell phone rang again, and Brooksheimer's name was displayed below the caller on the phone screen.

"I've really done my best, this guy knows to be in a daze, how do I know what he's thinking?" After answering the phone, Ex complained before the other party could speak.

"Ex, can you calm down?" This made Brooksheimer a little baffled to hear, "I have good news for you, I have a good friend's daughter who is interested in acting, and Felix's movie for her to try?" ”

"He wants a girl who looks better than Hillary Duff, is younger than 18 years old, and is more than 1.7 tall, and if the one you recommend doesn't meet this requirement, I don't think he even has the best to meet!" Ex said all of Lin Mingyang's requirements for the heroine in one go.

"Rest assured, the conditions of this British girl I recommend are far better than he imagined, and her parents are both actors and have been well educated since childhood." Lin Mingyang has no low requirements for the heroine, while Brooksheimer has a higher evaluation of the girl.

"Are you sure?" Ex finally found a life-saving straw, Brooksheimer gave him a detailed introduction to the girl, and finally Ex hung up the phone satisfied.

At this time, Lin Mingyang was still sitting there in a daze, and he had been in a trance recently because of the heroine's problem. Ex tapped the table, and he came to his senses.

"Where did you just go?"

Ex looked at him angrily and amusedly, "I said it half an hour ago!" ”

"Really?" Lin Mingyang scratched his head a little unexpectedly, "I'm asleep?" ”

"Nope!" Ex shook his head very seriously, "Except that you still have your eyes open, I don't think you're any different from falling asleep!" ”

Lin Mingyang smiled, "You're getting more and more humorous!" ”

"It's not about humor!" Ex asked the waiter to change a cup of coffee for himself, "You pay today because I just received good news?" ”

"What's the good news, tell me about it?" Lin Mingyang picked up his coffee and was about to take a sip.

"Mr. Brooksheimer recommended us an English girl whose conditions perfectly match your criteria!"

"What's your name?" Lin Mingyang asked casually. Every time Exx recommended the heroine to him, he said the same thing, but the result was not satisfactory to him.

"Kate Beckinsale"

"Poof!" Lin Mingyang squirted out a sip of coffee before he could swallow it, but fortunately he reacted quickly and turned his head to spray all the coffee on the ground.

Looking at Lin Mingyang, who couldn't stop coughing, Ex angrily beckoned the waiter to come and clean up, while complaining: "As for being so excited?" ”

Lin Mingyang was still holding the quilt coffee, and after hearing Ex's words, he stared at him like a monster, "Don't tell me, you don't know who Kate Beckinsale is?" ”

"Do you really know this man?" Ex was strange this time, it was the first time he had seen such a strange expression on Lin Mingyang's face.

"You won't have seen her "Pearl Harbor", right?"

"Oh my God, the heroine in "Pearl Harbor" is Kate Winslet, you can't even watch "Titanic", right?"

Lin Mingyang lifted the coffee cup and poured it into his mouth, and when he heard Kate Winslet, he finally couldn't help but squirt out the coffee again.

"I can forgive your ignorance, but you have to pay extra for this gentleman's laundry today!" Ex looked at the waiter who was standing next to Lin Mingyang and was sprayed by him, his eyes were full of sympathy.

――――

Sometimes we like a star because we like a character, and sometimes we like all her movies because we like a star, well, Frog admits that he likes Kate Beckinsale, and from "Pearl Harbor" to "Van Helsing," this woman is getting more and more flavorful.

So Frog made a very difficult decision to open the book for the first and last time to make Kate 10 years younger.

Special statement: It is only an adjustment, not a double wear
