Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 532 I'm Going To Win The Prize

Early the next morning, after talking with the producer, Leila went to yesterday's dance studio.Once inside, the three main actors including Roy were waiting there.

"Hi, hello, I'm Leila Moran." She introduced herself first.

"Hello, Director Moran, I'm Catherine Zeta-Jones."

"I'm Renee Zellweger."

"Roy Jixing." After the two ladies introduced themselves, Roy joined in the fun.

Lila looked at him with a smile: "Okay, I will remember your name this time."

Renee laughed "puchi", she didn't expect her to be such an interesting director.

Laila smiled at her too.There are three main characters in Chicago, Roy, a lawyer, and the women involved in the two cases.Zeta Jones played one of them, which she knew early on, and Renee was the other candidate given by Disney.

Leila told the producer at the beginning that she has no special requirements for the candidate, as long as she can achieve the movements she wants after training, there will be no problem.Although smooth sailing is very comfortable, it is also a very fulfilling thing for the director to be able to shoot a not-so-good actor to a super high standard.

Renee is one of the recommended candidates.Laila didn't care under what circumstances she came in, as long as she was fit for the movie, she would keep her.In fact, the three people in the original movie, except that Richard Gere was replaced by Roy, the other two are still the original team.

From the choice of Renee, Laila can see Disney's ambitions.Last year, in 2001, Renee just won an Oscar nomination for Best Actress by virtue of "BJ's Diary".For this song and dance film, what the producers want is to take advantage of the style of "Moulin Rouge" and also go for the awards season's trophies, so as to find this powerful and potential female star.

Not to mention Zeta Jones, Lila still has a deep impression on her, because she is not only a very capable actress, but also has a husband who is more famous than her and much older than her—— Michael Douglas.

Douglas once won the Oscar for Best Picture as the producer of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", and also won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Wall Street". He can be regarded as a powerful figure in Hollywood.And his marriage with Zette Jones is also talked about.

The two met at a certain film festival. After talking very speculatively, they accidentally learned that they were born in the same month and the same day. Then the two, who were 24 years apart, got married after dating for 9 months.

It is another romantic love story, every time I think about it, Laila feels the magic of fate.

"After a while, all the dance practicers will go to Rob Marshall to let him test the results of the practice." Lila turned her eyes over the three of them, and said with a smile: "I don't have much research on singing and dancing, but I I still have some experience in making movies. I don’t hide it from you. This time I will send the movie to the Oscars to receive the trophy. I know that the only one who wants to win the best director given my age It’s a myth, but it doesn’t prevent me from helping you get a statuette.”

As an actor, is there anyone who doesn't like that statuette?
Certainly not.

The two actresses have won a lot of nominations, but they just couldn't get the final fruit of victory.So Leila's words at this time can be regarded as reaching their hearts.

"My goal this time is to win awards, so I may be more aggressive when shooting, and I hope you can cooperate with me. Of course, I'm not the kind who doesn't listen to others." Laila smiled: " If there is anything that you think is not good, you can discuss it with me, and I will weigh it carefully, but if I still decide to maintain my original idea after weighing it, then I can only ask you to bear it."

What she said sounded a bit domineering. She not only asked others to raise their opinions, but also said that the opinions might not be listened to. No matter how they sounded, they sounded like excuses.

But if this is the case, in the ears of these three people, it has already given a lot of face.After all, she is a director, and she is also a director with great energy and strength in Hollywood.Seeing that she has never had a failure, it is clear that she is very qualified as a director.

And they are just actors, after all, they can't compare with the director in filming, and it is very likely that the opinions they put forward are not as good as they imagined.

As a director, Leila is willing to listen to and evaluate their proposals, which is a kind of respect for them, which is better than not listening to anything, right?If Leila really didn't listen to what they said, no one from top to bottom would say that she, the director, did something wrong.

So the two ladies agreed with a smile, not to mention Roy, Lyra would let him do anything.

The atmosphere of this conversation was very peaceful under Leila's deliberate creation.

The last time she filmed for another company was Chen Long's "Rush Hour", and the filming process that time was not a good one.Occasionally, when she thinks about it, she also feels that her attitude at that time was too rigid. In fact, as long as she is willing, the rigid atmosphere of the crew at that time can be repaired.But she didn't, she just let it go without thinking it didn't matter.

If it's a crew in her own company, and everyone is relying on themselves to feed themselves, she can naturally complete the work comfortably.But it is impossible for her to never shoot films for other companies in the future, so how to deal with the interpersonal relationship outside is a difficult problem she faces.

In fact, in her previous life, she really didn't have such a temper.For a little sponsorship fee, she can throw away her integrity, and her ability to control the crew is quite good.That is to say, Jin grew up in a wealthy family, which brought up her temper.

But is it bad to have a big temper?The so-called not being in the position, not looking for politics, living in the environment she is in, if she really has no temper, she probably won't be highly regarded by others, but will be regarded as a sign of cowardice and incompetence.What she needs to do is to choose an appropriate value between character and temper, and then try to control the crew in her hands without losing her identity, and create a harmonious and loving atmosphere by the way.

And she is different from last time in that she has a higher reputation.Before shooting "Rush Hour", all she could do was a few horror movies.Although the box office is high, it is impossible to say that it can really make other directors look a lot higher. At most, she is surprised that she made such a high-grossing movie at a young age.

It's different now, she is already the director of "Kill Bill" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".The former is sought after as the pinnacle of violent aesthetics, and the latter even won a global box office of nearly 7 million.

Yes, "Pirates of the Caribbean" did win so much.When it broke 911 million, it was about to be released. As a result, Leila had an accident and her life was unknown, so people put their worries about her on her movie, and unexpectedly took tens of millions more.It's a pity that it was greatly affected by 7 at that time, otherwise it would be absolutely no problem to break [-] million.
