Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 1068 Another Actor

The location of the shooting has been decided, but Leila still needs a period of preparation before she can start shooting.As she said, at least she couldn't go abroad until little Eli was one year old, and she would go abroad for several months.It's not just that Eli can't leave her, as a mother, she won't be willing to leave for so long.

After the location was found, the biggest problem she faced became the choice of another male lead.

The script is two male protagonists, which is the type of "The Departed Walker".Between the hero and the hero, there is no one who is dominant or inferior, everyone is very important, and the plot of each person is of great significance to advancing the plot.

As I said before, Roy's acting skills have reached a very good level. There are not many people in Hollywood who can play with him, but if you think about age, appearance and other aspects, there are only a handful of suitable people. .

Roy had proposed Leonardo and Downey, both of whom were talented performers, but Laila wanted to dig deeper into the depth of the script, so it would not be a good idea to use two white men as protagonists at the same time. idea.

At this time, the collocation of different ethnic groups can highlight more contradictions and deepen the connotation of the film.Don't think that such an arrangement is hypocritical. The judges of various awards, big and small, eat this set and like this theme.

Although Leila didn't shoot movies for the award, if she could win the award, who would dislike it too much?

So at the beginning, she chose to look for actors of different ethnicities in Hollywood. Although she was very unwilling, she had to admit that even actors of African descent were far more appreciated by the audience than those of American descent.

It's a pity that the age with good acting skills can't be matched, and the acting skills of those with good appearance can't meet her needs.So I searched and searched, and I dragged it on until now, but I still haven't come to a result.

"Can't you really find it?" Roy finally couldn't help it after she struggled for a long time.

"I can't find it, who made you so good?" Laila replied with a smile.

Roy didn't think so: "I don't think you can't find it, but you didn't look for it seriously."

"How is it possible!" Laila raised her eyebrows and said, "You also know how much I look forward to this script, of course I want to find the best candidate!"

"No, I think you're just lying to yourself." Seeing that she was still arguing, Roy reached out and touched her lips: "Don't rush to refute, just listen to me."

He paused, seeing her shut up angrily, and then continued: "Remember the previous movies? Except for some special roles, you don't have much opinion on the actors that Louise hired. Why? Because you are very sure, even a slightly inferior actor can improve to the point you need under your training."

"Look at "Blood Diamond", which has already been released. Everyone who watched it praised his improved acting skills. Do you think he would have his current acting skills without your guidance when he was on the crew? Not just He, and the actors you've worked with, myself included, have evolved significantly under your guidance."

"According to your request this time, Louise found a lot of information about actors for you. But you rejected them time and time again. In my opinion, these people belong to a group of very talented people. But Why didn't you choose to train their acting skills this time, but directly rejected it?"

Laila frowned at what he said and said nothing.

Roy didn't need her answer either, he just wanted her to understand his heart and not be blinded by his own thoughts.

"Laila, you already have someone in mind, don't you?"

"It is precisely because there are candidates that we will pick and choose among them, without even considering them, and without studying their room for improvement."

"Why don't you follow your own ideas?"

"Why don't you just face your heart?"

"Why do you hesitate and don't trust your own vision and decision?"

Laila couldn't speak because he asked why one by one.

Why?She herself didn't really know why.

Whether it was distrust of herself or other worries, she couldn't tell.

Roy held her gently in his arms, feeling sorry for her loss at this moment: "You are Leila Moran, never forget this. You are a legend in Hollywood, and you will still be admired by countless people in 100 years. What you want to do, you can do it boldly, even if you fail? Have you forgotten what you said? You are still young, and you have more time to correct your mistakes!"

"More importantly, I believe you will. Remember when you made Pirates of the Caribbean? Everyone said the pirate genre was dead, hopeless, and even you couldn't change it Fell to the fate of not being able to pounce again. But the result? You succeeded! You swept the film of that summer vacation and knocked all competitors to the ground."

"And Blood Diamond. What did those people say? It's going to be your biggest failure, it's going to ruin your accomplishments, it's going to wipe out a decade of hard work. And the ending? Last laugh It’s still you! You slapped their faces hard with movies and box office, and let them know that there is only what you don’t want to do, and there is nothing you can’t do!”

"Lila, do what you want! How do you know you'll fail if you don't try?"

Laila found herself unable to refute his words, every word he said was like a sledgehammer, hammering into her heart, shaking her whole body trembling slightly.

She did have such a candidate in her mind, and she wouldn't mind giving him a role if it was changed to another film.Because she knows that the films she shoots will be successful in the end, and she won't let him be dragged down by her failure.

But the new script is different, she can't be [-]% sure that it will be a success.She would be absolutely heartbroken if he was unfairly criticized for her own failure.Who told him to be her idol, the person she longed for in both lives?

"If it fails..." She finally opened her mouth. "I might kill him."

Roy laughed angrily at her, and reached out to pinch her cheek: "You seem to have forgotten one thing, the other leading actor is me, okay? Why didn't you worry about me from the beginning? Speaking of which, in the whole world In the world, I am quite famous, right? How is it compared to the person in your heart?"

Lila choked, looking at him with some embarrassment.That's right, why did she think that the reputation of that person might be damaged, but she forgot that Roy, who was bigger than him, had any loss.Perhaps in her subconscious mind, if she fails, she can make more successful films to win him over.
