Chapter Twenty-Nine: Monica Bellucci (Ask for Collection, Recommendation Votes)
In the end, Monica Bellucci still agreed to go to the audition, after all, it is very rare for her to have such an opportunity, and if it were not for the sake of being from Italy, she may not be able to get this opportunity.
Hollywood is like that, full of all sorts of groups, and the Italians are just one of them, not very powerful, far less than the Jewish circles in Hollywood, and even far inferior to the Australian gang.
However, she still got a lot of help, such as the opportunity to star in "400 Years of Vampire Zombie Horror".
It's a pity that as one of the vampire brides in the film's supporting roles, "400 Years of Vampire Zombie Horror" was a global hit, with a North American box office of $82 million and a global box office of more than $200 million, which did not bring her much fame.
Sofia Coppola made a phone call to Ryan and went to the studio with Monica Bellucci.
Ryan waited for about an hour or so, and Sofia Coppola pushed open the office door with a blank face and invited Monica Bellucci in.
As soon as Monica Bellucci walked in, Ryan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look up and down.
A typical Italian woman, her long dark brown hair falls down leisurely, revealing a delicate sterling silver pendant, which looks very stylish.
The height of 1.73 meters sets off her slender figure, which is worthy of being a model, which is enough to show that she is a very beautiful woman, at least in line with Ryan's aesthetics.
Ryan couldn't help but think of a movie "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the image of the heroine in the film.
The various sexy demeanors she shows in the film are definitely stunner-level.
It's a pity that Monica Bellucci's star journey in her previous life was not very smooth, and she finally starred in a commercial blockbuster "The Matrix 2: Reloaded", but it ended up hitting the street.
At the same time, Monica Bellucci looked curiously at the somewhat shabby office in front of her, and the young and unspoken director, and a very beautiful woman, who didn't look like what a crew should look like.
However, she is not a newcomer, and she knows some independent film crews, most of which are like this.
It's just that the director's age is inevitably too young, if it weren't for what Sophia said just now, the director in front of her is not simple, and she has the urge to leave.
Ryan took his eyes back, pointed to the chair in front of him, and said, "Hello Miss Monica, please take a seat." ”
"Introduce yourself, my name is Ryan Gosling, you can call me Ryan, and I'm also the director and only investor in Saw. ”
"Hello Director Ryan. ”
"I'm Monica Bellucci, and I've starred in 'Stepmom', 'Lover', and Francis Ford Coppola's fantasy horror film '400 Years of Vampire Zombie Horror'. Monica Bellucci greeted her politely and briefly introduced herself by the way.
At the same time, a trace of surprise welled up in her heart, the only investor?
She has heard Sophia introduce that the investment in the film is likely to exceed one million dollars, and it is not easy to invest one million dollars at one time.
A lot of times, money can often mean everything.
Helen looked at the information in her hand, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, quite good appearance, and a certain reputation in the modeling industry, it is obvious that she is a potential actor.
It's a pity that I'm a little older.
In Hollywood, a 30-year-old actor can be said to have just started his career, and the older he gets, the more popular he will become.
Actresses are different, once they are over the age of thirty, they will face problems such as fat and aging, and gradually go downhill.
"I've watched "400 Years of Vampire Zombie Horror", and you starred very well, or very amazingly. Ryan actually watched the film and was impressed by how Monica Bellucci looked in the film.
It is undeniable that among Keanu and the Three Banshees, she is the most beautiful one.
"I am very much looking forward to the next cooperation. ”
With her experience in starring, she is enough to play the heroine of a horror movie, and Ryan believes in her vision very much.
I can make a qualified vase at the very least.
Don't underestimate the difficulty of vases, especially a qualified vase, which is sometimes not so easy to find.
"I do the same. ”
Monica Bellucci sat very elegantly, and she didn't show any joy at all about Ryan's cooperation, but just looked at Ryan very calmly and asked curiously: "Sophia said that your last film is unbelievable." ”
"I'm sorry. ”
"May I ask the name of the film?"
"Blair the Witch" is a thing of the past for him, and for Hollywood veterans, it is difficult to keep "Blair the Witch" a secret.
To take the simplest example, the directors' guild recorded his information as the director of "Blair the Witch".
So Ryan didn't keep it a secret, and said very calmly: "Of course, "Blair the Witch" is a very boring film. ”
What the!
"Blair the Witch"!
Monica Bellukiten stood up from her chair with a slight open mouth and a look of surprise.
"Oh my God, I can't believe it's 'Blair the Witch'!"
"This year's summer box office miracle. "Monica Bellucci was a little incredulous.
Ryan spread his hands and said, "I don't think anyone will pretend to be this, after all, it will require countless insults." ”
"Miss Monica, I can tell you for sure that Ryan is not only the director of 'Blair the Witch,' but also that he is responsible for the film's promotional planning. Helen suddenly interjected.
"It's exactly what Sophia said, it's unbelievable. ”
It took a long time for Monica Bellucci to calm down, smile embarrassedly, and apologize: "I'm sorry, I was a little rude just now. ”
Faced with a director who grossed hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in North America and more than $200 million at the global box office, she tried to calm herself.
Then, she hesitated again and said, "Can I read the script of Chainsaw!"
Ryan naturally didn't refuse, and said, "Of course you can." ”
"Sophia, give Miss Monica a script. ”
Sofia Coppola stood up, took a copy of the script from the filing cabinet and handed it to her.
"Thank you. Monica Bellucci said with a sincere thanks.
If it weren't for Sophia's persuasion, it would have been difficult for her to make up her mind to audition, and she wouldn't have met a director who grossed more than $200 million worldwide.
At the moment, Monica Bellucci took the script and read it very carefully.
She studied law at the University of Perugia, far outperforming most Hollywood actors academically.
So it's easy to see some problems from the script, such as the heroine in the film, not so much the heroine, but a supporting actress, and there are not many shots in the whole play.
It can be said that this "Chainsaw" is completely a complete men's drama, and the so-called heroine's presence is very low.
But she still decided to say yes, and in the face of a director who grossed more than $200 million worldwide, she couldn't say "no" anyway.
What's more, to be able to get to know such a director, even if you don't want to be paid, I'm afraid there will be countless Hollywood actresses rushing to agree.
"Great script, just a simple flip through it, there is a creepy feeling. ”
"I wish I could have started shooting earlier. ”
Monica Bellucci is not false in this regard, her last film "400 Years of Vampire Zombie Horror" is a horror movie, so she is no stranger to horror movies.
It is even very clear that the most important thing about the horror film itself is horror, and a film that cannot make people feel terrible obviously cannot be recognized by the audience.
From this point alone, the director in front of him is not trivial.
"Thank you for the compliment. ”
"By the way, is your agent here today!"
Ryan asked a very crucial question, and many times the actors themselves have promised to do things, but they go back on their word.
A big reason for this is related to the agent, and some of the treatment of the crew, such as salary or something, also needs to be negotiated by the agent.
Monica Bellucci showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "I just had a fight with my agent, and I haven't told him about coming to the audition yet. ”
"However, I can let him know in a moment, and I don't think there should be any problem. ”
In fact, Monica Bellucci has decided to return to Italy this year to develop, and has had a big fight with her agent for this, and has not seen him for a while.
An actor who is about to leave Hollywood, who has lost his value to his agent, naturally will not continue to care.
"You can ask your agent to contact Sophia, and she will talk to him about the specific treatment and salary. Ryan wouldn't talk to her agent about that personally.
Helen's eyes flashed, and she wrote down the phone number in the information, maybe she could give it a try.
