Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 15 Choice ([-])

"Tea is fine." Charlize heard the British accent from the accent of the other party, and knew that the British were more interested in tea than coffee.

After some smooth movements by Laila, two cups of hot black tea were placed on the table.

"Forgot to introduce myself, my name is Laila Moran."

"Hello, I'm Charlize Theron." Charlize's sitting posture was very beautiful, and she didn't nest herself in the sofa because it was very comfortable, or slanted her shoulders or something like that.This has something to do with her previous ballet studies and modeling experience. It is not too difficult for her to maintain a minimum of elegance.

Laila looked at her with a smile, and even after looking at her many times, she still sighed when she saw that beautiful face.

"I know you. You're beautiful and impressive."

"Thank you. You are beautiful too." Charlize wasn't saying polite words. In her opinion, the girl in front of her was indeed quite beautiful.

The other party's fair skin and delicate facial features are second to none, but the most irresistible thing to look at is that temperament, which is not at all like that of a young girl, more like...a princess!No, to be precise, it is more like a queen, with an aura that makes people want to get close and feel awe.

Lila smiled and didn't take the other party's words seriously: "What do you think about this movie? As far as I know, it's a horror movie, and the cost is not high."

Charlize took a sip of tea, thought for a few seconds before saying, "I haven't read the script, but I don't think I can let go of any chance."

Knowing that the other party might be the son of a high-level film company, she didn't flatter the movie or her own strength, but told the truth seriously.

This made Leila a good impression of her.She likes people who are serious and people who seize opportunities. No wonder she will reach the pinnacle of an actress in a few years. Consciousness and strength are absolutely indispensable conditions.

"What if your audition doesn't work out? You might not know it, but there's another lady whose performance was equally well-received."

Charlize nodded: "I will continue to participate in other auditions."

Laila laughed. Should I say that she was too serious, or too dumb?While still in this company, she already thought of other auditions. Isn't she afraid of being heard by the company and directly excluding her?

In fact, this is Lila's ignorance of Hollywood, and it is also related to her lack of acting experience.No matter in Hollywood or Hengdian, there are only a few top stars who have no shortage of roles to play, and more are still wandering around the lower levels.If you want to become famous all at once, and if you want to "do not let me act in your movie, you will hit the street", it is easier to realize in your dreams.

Then Laila diverted the conversation to other things, talking about fashion, about clothes, about accessories.For Charlize, who used to be a model, it is very good talk.

"Happy time always passes quickly, I have to leave here." Seeing that the time on the watch was close to the meeting time, Lila got up and said goodbye. "No one will come here for the time being, you can rest as you like."

"Okay." Charlize stood up and bid her farewell, watching the girl disappear outside the door, with a puzzled expression finally showing on her face.

Why does she always feel that the other party seems to know her well?She was pretty sure she hadn't run into her before, otherwise she would have been impressed.I am not a public figure worth reporting, so why do I feel like everything about me has been seen through?
After Laila walked out of the lounge, she saw Demi who came out to find her.

"Miss Moran, the two actresses who came to audition have arrived."

"Well, let Miss Bletchett come in at two o'clock."

"Okay." Demi responded, and trotted to convey her instructions.

Walk back to the office, 10 minutes until the meeting time.Lyra took this opportunity to mentally compare the strengths and weaknesses of the two actors.In fact, even if she hasn't met Kate yet, Charlize's performance just now has made her make her own decision.

Of course, before that, she still wanted to meet Kate Brecht, the future Oscar-winning actress.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Demi led Kate in.Following her was her agent, the one who had impressed Lyra by talking to her yesterday.

"Miss Moran is the boss of our company and the director of the movie." Demi introduced the two sides.

"Hello, Miss Moran." Kate nodded first.

She was surprised, she didn't expect that the boss of the company and the director of the audition film would be such a young girl.By the way, is she an adult?

Surprise in the heart will definitely be there, but no one with a little brain will express this kind of surprise that is no different from contempt and provocation.Kate is a great actress, and she's really good at hiding emotions and all that.

Laila invited them to sit down and said with a smile, "Surprised? Now I believe what Louise said. Miss Kate's acting skills are really good."

Kate had never met such a boss and director, and she couldn't figure out the situation when she first arrived in Hollywood, so she could only smile reservedly and look at her manager with vague eyes.

Are all Hollywood directors so personal?

The manager was actually very surprised, but after all, he is a well-informed person, and he has been in this circle for many years.Let alone a young girl wanting to make a film, even if it is a monkey, as long as it has the money to make a film, what does it matter to serve it?
"Miss Moran is really funny. Kate has just come to Hollywood, and she hasn't done very well in many places. I hope you can give her some pointers when you have time."

"Should be." Laila replied, asking Demi to pour two cups of coffee. "I wonder what Miss Kate's understanding of horror movies is?"

When it comes to work, Kate's nervousness fades somewhat.

"Horror movies are a very important part. It can have a lot of content, a lot of big stars, and a story line. I know that as long as the audience is scared, it is successful."

Lila smiled: "It seems that Ms. Keira and I will have a good time working together."

The other party's words just entered her heart.She also finds Hollywood-style preaching very boring. A comedy is a comedy, and it's enough to make the audience laugh.The same is true for horror movies. As long as it can scare the audience, what does it matter if you forget it later?
Mainstream critics will always criticize the film with some contemptuous attitude, thinking that it lacks educational significance, lacks soul, blah blah blah...

Take a look at the films that Oscar prefers. Successful commercial films have never been seen by the stubborn and aging judges. On the contrary, some niche art films that are said to have a lot of connotation are more accepted by them.What's the point to Leila if a movie only serves a small group of people?
Most audiences go to the cinema for leisure, to relax, and to get rid of work and study fatigue.Finding time to spend $$$ on movies only to end up watching a bunch of sleepy "educational movies"?
