The first thing I did when I returned to Los Angeles was to officially sign a directing contract with Twentieth Century Fox for "Ghost Invasion".

At the same time, he also serves as a producer, and has the right to final casting and editing of the film.

Twentieth Century Fox brought in only one executive producer as a supervisor, mainly to handle some of the day-to-day affairs of the crew, as well as financial supervision.

Rei Sancheni, a rare female producer, was last on the cast of the famous True Lies.

At the same time, Ryan finally got his wish, the rights to the X-Men and Daredevil.

To do this, a large sum of money from Twentieth Century Fox was required.

Fortunately, most of the rights to Saw 2 have already been sold, and the theater chain has begun to pay the first box office share, giving him enough money to cover the cost.

Moreover, Twentieth Century Fox did not have a lion's mouth on copyright fees.

For a while, the crew entered into intense preparations.

However, Ryan, as a director and producer, is not as busy as he imagined, except for casting and filming venue selection, most of the other things are handled by Sophia and Leigh Sancheni.

After all, "Invasion of Evil Spirits" is an investment from Twentieth Century Fox, and the crew is not troublesome in many things.

Of course, he also took care of some familiar crews, such as some of the crew members in the last two "Chainsaws", and the personnel of Star Brokerage Company.

Even, the extras, background cloths, and some small roles that the crew needed chose to be recommended by Helen.

On this, Ryan is unceremonious.

"Haven't you decided who will play Am's role yet?"

Ryan is somewhat speechless about this, whether it is Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman, they are very suitable for this role.

In this way, it is a bit difficult to choose.

Helen didn't know what to choose. ”

"You know, she's on good terms with the parents of the two little ones. Sofia Coppola made a helpless look.

Although there are many connections in the Jewish circle, they also have to face one thing, how to choose between Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.

Helen clearly had some scruples.

"Then schedule an audition to decide who is more in line with the role. Ryan immediately made the decision to schedule an audition for the two little ones.

"Okay, I'll let Helen know. After Sofia Coppola finished speaking, she got up and walked outside.

The studio in front of him is no longer an office in the past, some time ago Ryan was upstairs and rented a small half-floor space, not only with a separate bathroom, but also a conference room with a large area.

At the same time, several employees were added, including what Sophia called a handyman.

As soon as Sophia left, Ryan was left alone in a huge office, flipping through the actors' materials from time to time, in addition to the role of Aim, her parents and priests in the film all needed people to come to audition.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Please come in. Ryan put down the information in his hand and said.

As soon as the words fell, the door of the office was pushed open, and a tall woman, more than 1.75 meters tall, with long blond hair, looked to be in her early twenties at most.

This woman is in very good shape, wearing a casual outfit, very decent, as if tailor-made, highlighting the tall figure, and the makeup is also carefully sculpted to match the clothes on her body perfectly.

"Hello, Mr. Ryan. She slammed the office door shut, smiling charmingly.

Ryan frowned, as if he didn't know this woman, but he was able to call out his name, and immediately realized that this woman seemed to have come to him.

However, the young woman in front of her seemed somewhat familiar.

"May I ask this young lady, is there anything you can do?"

The young woman introduced herself: "My name is Charlize Theron, a model or actress to be precise, who starred in Kids in the Cornfield 3. ”

"Call me Charlie. ”

Charlize Theron!

Ryan showed a look of understanding in his eyes, a few days ago, someone recommended an actor through Lei Sancheni, who was Charlize Theron in front of him, the famous Saihuang and South African diamond in his previous life.

However, he refused at the time, for a very simple reason, Charlize Theron is now at most twenty years old, and there is no suitable role for her in "Evil Soul Invasion", unless she is willing to play a small role with only a few scenes.

"You can sit down and talk first. Ryan asked her to sit down, and in any case, she was an actor recommended by Rei Sancheni, and she had to give some face.

"Thank you. ”

Charlize Theron politely said thank you, walked to the front of the chair and sat down, cocking a slender jade leg to show off her strengths.

Ryan, who hadn't been intimate with Monica Bellucci for a while, had a somewhat wandering gaze.

Ryan froze and said, "Miss Charlie, is there anything wrong with you!"

Charlize Theron looked at Ryan's eyes, showed a hint of pleading, and said, "Mr. Ryan, please, can you give me a chance to audition!"

"Even once. ”

Last time, her agent finally found Rei Sancheni through a relationship and wanted to give her an audition.

I didn't want to, but I was rejected by the person in front of me, and I didn't even give Lei-Sancheni face.

In this regard, Lei Sancheni didn't think anything, as long as Ryan wanted, he could completely change Twentieth Century Fox to an executive producer.

But Charlize Theron was a little unwilling to lose.

However, Ryan didn't eat this at all, he had seen too many similar scenes in his previous life, so he said directly: "Miss Charlie, I have already made it clear to Lei that you are too young and do not match the age of the characters in the film." ”

"So I can't help you, I'm sorry. ”

What he said is the truth, she can't be allowed to play the role of a teenage child's mother!

Even the role of the female teacher in the film is too young for her age.

As for revising the script?

Charlize Theron, in front of him, doesn't have this value yet.

"I just wanted one audition. Charlize Theron suppressed the thought of getting up and leaving, and pleaded again.

"I'm sorry, but I can't send you an audition invitation unless the actor is the right age. Ryan opened his eyes and said nonsense.

As long as he wants or wants, he can send an audition invitation to anyone, and it is not impossible to even revise the script.

If only he wants to.

Charlize Theron looked at Ryan for a while, she knew very well that what he said just now was just a lie, as the director and producer of the film, he could decide any actor, let alone an audition invitation.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly stood up, walked to the desk, and lowered her body, her chest pressed against Ryan's face, a hint of fragrance coming from her seductive red lips.

"I can do everything for this, including myself, as long as you can grant my request. ”

When she was in the modeling circle, she had long been accustomed to all kinds of transactions, and knew that if she wanted to seize the opportunity in front of her, she would need to pay some price, such as her own body.

Hints of deals are all too common in Hollywood.

"I say again, Miss Charlie, there really isn't a right character for you in the film. ”

Ryan didn't turn down a trade, as long as it fits the character in the film, and he doesn't cut it when it comes to backsliding.

Charlize Theron didn't seem to understand his words, leaned forward again, stretched out her seductive tongue, circled, and said, "I can give you the most extravagant enjoyment." ”

"During the filming, they were all on call. ”

"You can always call me even after the filming is over. ”

Ryan retracted his gaze with difficulty, took a deep breath, and said, "I have to say that your conditions are very tempting, and I really want to agree, but there is really no suitable role for you in "Evil Spirit Invasion". ”

Faced with the famous South African diamond in his previous life, he refused very hard.

But the current Charlize Theron is too young, to be precise, he should be less than twenty years old, and he is not suitable for the role in the film.

Of course, if it were someone else, you could have agreed to come down and enjoy a comfortable night.

The next day, as if it hadn't happened, or randomly arrange a small role with only a few shots, and deal with it.

But he didn't want to do that, and he would get into trouble.
