Chapter 103: Friends

Tobey Maguire didn't know what Leonardo's heart was pondering, but looking at his friend, he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.

He and Leonardo have known each other for seven or eight years.

At the beginning, they got together because of an audition, and for some reason, the two looked at each other and became good friends.

Later, because Leonardo developed better in the entertainment industry, he wanted to pull Toby several times, but unfortunately it was of little use.

Although they collaborated on "A Boy's Life" released last year, even in it, Leonardo's character's name is Toby.

But Toby still hasn't gotten rid of his role as a passerby actor, and may even be further reduced to a situation without a role as he gets older.

In stark contrast, Leonardo's smooth journey.

Toby has watched "A Different Sky".

He felt that after this movie, his friend's success was just around the corner.

"At that time, we saw the sky really differently. ”

Toby muttered to himself.

But even so, he did not envy or hate his friends because of this. He just felt a little sour in his heart after seeing his friend's success.

"Don't worry, baby, everyone is like that. The success of our good friends is the driving force for our efforts. ”

When he told his mother about it, his mother, who encouraged him to embark on the road of acting, comforted him like this.

"Maybe it's going to take a few more years!"

Now, after another failed audition, Toby can only comfort himself with this.

Then he saw a letter.

A letter handed to him by Leonardo.

"What is this?"

"Audition invitation!"

"For me!?"

Toby couldn't believe it.

- When will my brother receive an invitation to audition?

Under normal circumstances, didn't I take the initiative to send it to the door, and was rejected by other directors after that?

"What are you doing in a daze?

Leonardo's voice on the side finally brought Toby back to his senses.

"Yes!"

- Let's see what kind of film is the key!

- What if it's sent from the Fernando Valley?

Toby hurriedly opened the envelope.

"How!?"

Leonardo asked.

"Have you heard of this movie?"

Toby read the content of the letter, it was good news, so good that he couldn't believe it,

"Their crew wanted to invite me to audition for the leading actor. ”

"That's good news, buddy!"

Leonardo patted Toby vigorously on the back,

"Being able to take the initiative to invite you to audition shows that the filmmaker is very optimistic about you!"

"But ......"

Toby hesitated,

"This film—"

"Who's the director?"

Leonardo, knowing what his friend was worried about, asked on his own initiative.

"Charlotte Booth. I hadn't heard much of the name. ”

"Ah, I know this man!"

Leonardo cried out,

"That "Fatal Bend" was filmed by him. ”

"That film!"

Toby's eyes lit up.

"That film was a good shot! especially the magical second brush effect. ”

In fact, just the other day, Toby and Leonardo went to see "Fatal Bend" together. As two young people who have just been able to watch R-rated movies, they are still very interested in horror movies.

"Are you relieved?"

Leonardo looked at his friend.

"Yes. ”

Toby's face also rejoiced,

"Thank you, Leo, I'm going to make it this time. ”

"That's right, that's what you want!"

Leonardo also smiled.

But he thought to himself that he was going to hurry back and burn the open audition invitation letter in his room, at least not to let Toby know about it recently.

"So, Leonardo DiCaprio turned down our audition invitation because of schedule conflicts?"

Being stared at by Charlotte and his own boss, Dill felt stressed for a moment.

"Yes. But Tobey Maguire agreed to our invitation and was ready to audition. ”

In desperation, I had to show more of the results of my efforts, hoping that the two bigwigs could divert their attention.

"That's fine, it's better than none. ”

Charlotte sighed on the surface, but she didn't care too much in her heart-

Originally, the choice of Leonardo DiCaprio was more out of consideration for his reputation in later generations. From the current point of view, maybe Tobey Maguire is indeed more suitable.

Now the other party refuses because of the schedule, and saves himself from his entanglement.

"Maguire is Maguire, but we're going to have to get Sally and let them try their hand at it." ”

Mr. Westwood, the producer on the side, is really a little helpless.

No way, because Charlotte chose Charlize as the heroine and persuaded Jodie Foster, who took the lead at the beginning, the choice of the heroine has been decided.

So in this way, it is natural to go against the norm and cooperate with the heroine to choose a male protagonist who can play with her.

In particular, "Happy Death Day" is also a movie dominated by the heroine.

But fortunately, if you just look at the information, Mr. Producer thinks that Tobey Maguire is still quite suitable.

"Let's hope everything goes well!"

Mr. Westwood prayed in his heart.

Despite the success of Fatal Bend, he still hasn't developed a big enough heart — well, for someone who already has a heart problem, that's a bit of a luxury.

"Speaking of which, Charlotte, is there any news from the few friendly cameos you asked Jodie Foster to help invite?"

"That's it!"

Charlotte thought about the phone call Jodie Foster had called him two days ago,

Both Bill Murray and Andy McDowell have said yes, and according to Foster, "they both find it interesting." ”

"That's good!"

Westwood shook his fist,

"At least we have a gimmick for the film. What about the others?"

"Others?"

Charlotte's face suddenly became strange,

"There are also cameos from two actors, she also helped us get it, the gimmick is enough, it's just ......"

"Just what?"

Seeing that Mr. Director, who had always been straightforward, became speechless, Mr. Westwood couldn't help but be confused.

"Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder. ”

Charlotte looked self-defeating,

"She convinced these two to make a cameo!"

"What!?Charlotte, you're kidding!?"

Mr. Westwood looked incredulous, but Charlotte in front of him only nodded silently.

"It's true, though I can't believe it either. ”

"I don't know if that's good news or bad news. ”

Mr. Producer covered his forehead helplessly, looking like he was about to get sick again,

"If nothing else, Charlotte, do you think we have enough for the budget?"

"This ......"

Charlotte felt that the budget was a small problem in comparison. After all, the cameo, the salary is different from normal, even if these two are popular, they are negotiable.

The trouble is the relationship between these two people.
