Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 49

She didn't understand that the little boss wanted a big wrestler to sign an acting contract, especially when he gave him such good conditions, it was like treating a little star.Maybe that person does have a great reputation in the wrestling world, but this is Hollywood, no matter how good the wrestling is, can he still make money at the box office?It's not like they're making an action movie.

A wrestler, a street gangster... What kind of person will he be next?

Louise felt that she really couldn't understand the boss's thinking, and she couldn't be optimistic about the so-called brokerage department in her heart.

A new round of auditions has officially started as the filming is about to start.The miraculously rising talent's second film has attracted more attention than last time.

In Lila's arrangement, there is no doubt that Tobin will play Jigsaw.Charlize Theron, the girl who made a good impression on her, is also scheduled to play Amanda, the only surviving character in the movie.In addition, Roy will also play the leading role in the movie, a tragic Adam who loses his vitality from the beginning, but only looks at the back of the jigsaw and screams in despair until the end.

In addition to the male lead and two policemen, the remaining required actors are a mother and daughter and some less important roles.

Laila didn't want to interfere anymore, she was very satisfied with the actors that Louise helped her recruit last time, so this time it was more natural for her to leave the matter to her.

For Laila, a small-budget film like hers doesn't really need big-name actors.Because if you hire a big star, you can't just let him be a casual character, can you?Will definitely be the main character.

The audience is also aware of this, so when they see a big star come out, they will guess some of the following plot developments, which is not a good thing for the director and the movie, and the sense of suspense will be destroyed.

The new actors are great, they are not too familiar, and they don't need too much salary. Once they become popular, the director himself will have a great sense of accomplishment.

The audition this time went very well, the number of participants was double that of last time, and it also gave Louise a chance to choose more. In the end, the candidates in front of Leila were all chosen by her. actor.

Laila read the introductions one by one, but didn't see any familiar faces.But when he saw the candidate for the male lead, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Why is he here?"

Louise knew that she would definitely ask when she saw her, so she smiled and told her what she learned: "Mr. Fassbinder very much hopes to participate in the shooting of your new movie. Very happy."

"That's right." Whether it was flattery or not, Laila still felt very happy. "I remember that the three of the witches have received many new invitations?"

"Yes, Kayla has been cast for Paradise Road. Mr. Bradley is in a TV series. Mr. Fassbender has also received scripts for a few films, but doesn't think much of them. I'm interested. So when I knew you were going to start shooting a new film, I came here to audition."

Laila nodded knowingly.In his previous life, Fassbinder's star journey was not smooth, and he did not participate in the filming of the TV series Brothers in Arms until 2000.Being able to get a script invitation now must be the benefit of Blair the Witch's powerful ability to absorb money.

But just one movie can't make him famous in one battle, otherwise he wouldn't be one step away from the Oscar statuette after more than ten years.Strictly speaking, The Witch is not a particularly good movie, limited in subject matter, it is destined not to receive more attention.

In the same way, the three protagonists who starred in the movie have at most a leading role with a box office of more than 2 million yuan. In fact, they are not qualified to win a better movie script.

Fassbinder didn't pay attention to the script handed to him and continued to seek cooperation with Leila, which undoubtedly shows that he is a very wise person.

Instead of making those second-rate and third-rate movies, why not fight again and continue to cooperate with Leila, what if the next movie becomes popular again?
Of course, he also took great risks in making such a choice. After all, under Cooper's desperate slander, countless people in the outside world have already disliked Lila's second movie.Her age is a flaw, and not many people think that she can perform miracles again.

But in any case, Fassbinder's willingness to take the gamble was enough to satisfy Laila.

"It's him, sign it."

"Okay. How much is the salary?" Louise asked again.

Last time, [-] people signed in, which is the price for newcomers.This time he is already the leading actor in a blockbuster movie, so the price must be much higher.

"You can figure it out." Americans clearly distinguish between friendship and business. No matter how good the relationship is, business is business, and you should give as much as you want.This is something Laila thinks is worth learning.Although there was an old saying in the country she was in in the previous life that brothers and sisters settled accounts clearly, but how many of them could really do it?
As for the other actors, she also agreed with Louise's choice one by one. If there are suitable candidates among these people, she doesn't mind asking her agency to sign more actors.

Half a month later, the film, which was all ready, was officially launched in an abandoned factory.

After accepting Lila's commission, Louise asked people to look around for a place she wanted, and finally found such an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

After seeing it, Laila decided to buy it immediately, not for anything else, but because this land will be officially developed in the future, and the value will double and roll up.At that time, even if the theme park plan fails, it will be described as an inch of land and an inch of money here for more than ten years. It is definitely a profitable business.

The transformation of the factory was handed over to Gabi. He had a storyboard script in his hand and knew what kind of environment she needed for shooting.Although he is the youngest in the prop group, he is not much worse than his father in doing things, and it didn't take much time to set up the scenes one by one.

The movie's budget was set at 200 million, which was 50 more than in the previous life.The main reason is that Leila's perfectionism broke out again, and she must strive for perfection in everything.Thanks to her, this is a low-budget horror film. If she is really entrusted to make a big production, it may not be much better than the money-burning director Cameron.

With Lila's "action", the film that is destined to become a classic horror film in film history finally started shooting.At the same time, because the global box office of the Blair Witch has officially exceeded [-] million, the filming of Blair Witch has attracted more attention.

Not surprisingly, Cooper's comments were once again published in the News of the World when The Witch broke through [-] million at the box office.

I don't know if the word "[-] million" hurt his eyes and his ugly heart blinded by hatred. This time, his words were extremely agitated, as if he was condemning a sinner who was about to bring the world to an end.
