Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 263: Actresses

Of course, since it was a random guess, Charlotte himself did not expect that his guess would be correct.

But he did realize that there might be more secrets hidden behind Malcolm Nursing Home.

Just in case, he felt that he had better investigate there.

The shooting of "Sixth Sense" provided him with a good excuse.

And if that doctor Malcolm really turned into a ghost, then the movie actor with the same name may be a springboard for Charlotte to cast spells.

——This is also why Charlotte insisted on filming "Sixth Sense" in Malcolm Nursing Home.

——Because only in this way can the conditions of the springboard be considered established.

As for whether this will cause a psychological shadow to the actor who plays the male lead, Charlotte doesn't care.

——For men, he will not take care of women and children like he does.

"However, if it was filmed in the Malcolm Nursing Home, Ruifan and I would not be able to go in and help, right?"

When the old gun went to contact the nursing home, Alexis suddenly thought of this question.

"It's true in the short term."

Charlotte nodded.

"But in essence, the dragon rejects ghosts that don't belong to him, it's just a sense of territory. I can think of a way to help you get the admission certificate."

"……All right."

——Why let you say that this terrifying monster like a dragon is no different from the less sympathetic security personnel?

Alexis felt weird.

Of course, she didn’t forget about the work Charlotte gave her before.

"I have talked to Sam Phil, and he agreed to participate in the "Sixth Sense" show."

"Is he scared?"

"A little bit."

Charlotte shrugged.

He felt that Sam Phil, a little boy who was really born with yin and yang eyes, had far less fear of ghosts than Cole in the "Sixth Sense" story.

This is actually normal.

After all, unlike in movie stories, in reality, even if there are more ghosts in Hollywood, there are not so many ghosts.

——Sam Phil may not have seen too many ghosts that scared him.

"But if his yin and yang eyes are kept, it will be sooner or later to see dangerous ghosts."

Charlotte felt that perhaps taking back Sam's yin and yang eyes was the best help for him.

Of course, it is too early to say this.

Besides, the use of underage actors requires the consent of the guardian.

"Have you consulted Sam's parents?"

Charlotte asked.

"That's natural."

Alexis nodded.

"They agreed!"

"That's good!"

Charlotte is satisfied,

"Now, what we need to consider is that there are only two female lead roles."

With that said, Charlotte picked up a large stack of actress resumes,

"Look, it's all from CAA!"

"Really a lot!"

Alexis sighed.

"No wonder I always failed so many auditions when I was alive-sure enough, even a small character, if you want to win, you can't rely on it."

"..."

As for Alexis's sigh, Charlotte wittyly didn't make any comments.

He had deliberately asked Charlize to reveal the news to Pat Kingsley. In addition to selling his personal love, he also asked the brokerage company to help screen the idea.

Now it seems that CAA can do the packaging business in Hollywood, it is not unreasonable.

At least, most of the actress resumes sent to Charlotte meet his basic requirements——

Cole's mother, this single mother has a lot of roles in the movie, and she is the heroine in the true sense.

This role requires a certain amount of acting skills, while not being too old.

As for the wife of Dr. Malcolm, the protagonist's spouse role, it can naturally be said to be the heroine.

According to the script, she is essentially a young and beautiful widow.

However, in order to avoid being seen by the audience in the early stage, she must not fully express the taste of a widow, and be more like a cold wife who has a bad relationship with her husband.

Therefore, being beautiful and with a touch of sadness and depression has become a requirement for this role.

——Neither of these two roles are particularly difficult to play.

But it is impossible to say that no acting skills are required at all.

"It looks like we have to do an audition."

Charlotte pondered.

**********

At the same time, another director is also pondering the issue of his movie heroine.

"Would you like to use this Charlize Theron?"

Taylor Hackford hesitated.

As a highly experienced director, Hackford has always felt that an actress who is too beautiful is not suitable for a tragic and sympathetic role.

Because beauty brings jealousy. And jealousy is the opposite of sympathy.

However, during the audition, Charlize Theron did well.

In fact, she is the most emotionally expressive of all the actresses who participated in the audition.

"It seems that even though the three films she participated in before are commercial films in a pure sense, her acting skills have been tempered a lot!"

However, Hackford can't say that his "Devil's Advocate" is not a commercial film——

If it weren't for the box office, he wouldn't find Keanu Reeves, who has basically no facial expressions except for the handsome, to be the leading actor.

——Isn't it because of Keanu Reeves's overwhelming popularity after "Life and Death"?

Of course, in terms of acting, he also has Al Pacino as the villain as a guarantee.

But this is also the reason why he is hesitant to choose the heroine——

Do you want to prefer acting or more at the box office?

If you want to lean towards acting, Charlize Theron has performed well in the audition, but she is not required.

——Her acting skills are relatively inadequate. Although expressive, it can sometimes seem abrupt.

In fact, as an old-school director, Hackford feels that under his guidance, many savvy actresses can meet the acting needs of the heroine.

"It's nothing more than NG several times."

For old directors like Hackford, this is not really a problem.

What really makes Charlize Theron the first choice for the heroine is the other party’s popularity——

Cui in "Happy Death" and Katrina in "Dropped Head", these two popular roles give Charlize Theron, a 20-year-old actress, a very good box office appeal.

This popularity ~lightnovelpub.net~ is helpful to the box office of "Devil's Advocate".

But on the other hand, it was this popularity that made Director Hackford hesitate.

——Because the other party is not a small character who is unknown and can be at his mercy.

——Pat Kingsley, the other party's agent, put forward very clear restrictions on some shooting standards.

This gives Hackford a feeling of being restricted.

Although, as a director with veteran qualifications, he can also achieve the desired effect by borrowing and acting as a substitute.

But the feeling in it is always different.

In the end, Hydford could only sigh.

He remembered a line in his new movie--

"Vanity is undoubtedly the devil's favorite original sin!"
