"Tea is good." Charlize heard the British accent from her accent and knew that British people are more interested in tea than coffee.
After Laila's smooth movements, two hot cups of black tea were put on the table.
"Forgot to introduce myself. My name is Laila Moran."
"Hello, I'm Charlize Theron." Charlize's sitting posture is very beautiful, and She didn't get in because the sofa was very comfortable, or even her body Slanted shoulders or something. 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 though she watched it many times, she still sighed when she saw that beautiful face.
"I know you. You are beautiful and impressive."
"Thank you. You are beautiful, too." Charlize was not talking politely. In her opinion, the girl in front of her was indeed pretty.
The other party's fair skin and exquisite facial features are still second, and the thing that makes people unable to help but look again is the temperament, not at all like the temperament of a young girl, more like a...princess! No, it's more like a queen to be precise, with a temperament that makes people want to be close and feel awe.
Laila smiled and didn't take the other party's words seriously "What do you think about this movie? As far as I know, this is a horror movie, and the cost is not high."
Charlize took a sip of tea and thought about it. It took a few seconds to say "I haven't seen the script, but I don't think I can let go of any chance."
Knowing that the other party may be the child of a high-level film company, she did not praise the film or her own strength. , But tell the truth seriously.
This made Laila a good impression of her. She likes serious people and people who seize opportunities. No wonder she will reach the pinnacle of an actress in a few years. Awareness and strength are absolutely indispensable.
"What if your audition is unsuccessful? You may not know that there is another lady whose performance is also very well-reviewed."
Charlize nodded, "I will continue to participate in other auditions."
Laila smiled, Is it too serious, or is it too hard to speak? When she was still in this company, she thought of other auditions. Isn't she afraid of being heard by the company and exclude her directly?
In fact, this is Laila's ignorance of Hollywood, and it is also related to her lack of experience in acting. Whether in Hollywood or in Hengdian, there are only some of the top celebrities who have no shortage of roles, and most of them are wandering in the lower class. Wanting to become famous, "do not let me play, your movie will hit the street", it is easier to achieve in dreams.
After that, Laila switched the subject to other places, talking about fashion, clothes, and accessories. For Charlize, who has been a model, they are all very good talks.
"The pleasant time always passes quickly, I have to leave here." Laila saw that the time on the watch was close to the time for the meeting, and got up to leave. "No one will come here for the time being, you can rest at will."
"Okay." Charlize stood up and said goodbye to her, watching the girl disappearing outside the door, finally showing a puzzled expression on his face.
Why does she always feel that the other party seems to know herself well? She was pretty sure that she hadn't met her before, otherwise she would definitely be impressed. I am not a public figure worth reporting, so why do I feel like I have been seen through?
After Laila walked out of the lounge, she saw Demi who came out looking for her.
"Miss Moran, the two actresses who came to audition have arrived."
"Well, let Miss Blanchett come in first at two o'clock."
"Okay." Demi replied , and trot to deliver her instructions.
Back to the office, there are still ten minutes before the meeting. Laila took this opportunity to compare the pros and cons of the two actors again in her heart. In fact, even if she hadn't met cate, Charlize's performance just now allowed her to make her own decision.
Of course, before that, she still wanted to see Cate Blanchett, the future Oscar queen.
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Demi led Cate in. Behind her was her agent, the one who persuaded her yesterday and left a deep impression on Laila.
"Miss Moran is the boss of our company and the director of the movie." Demi introduced both parties.
"Hello, Miss Moran." Cate nodded first.
She was surprised. She didn't expect that the boss of this company and the director of the audition film would be such a young girl. Is she an adult?
It is sure to be surprised in the heart, but people with a little brain will not show this kind of surprise that is indistinguishable from contempt and provocation. Cate is an excellent actor, who can't hide emotions anymore.
Laila asked them to sit down and smiled and said, "Surprised, right? Now I believe what Louise said, Miss Cate's acting skills are really good."
Cate has never met such a boss and director. Even when I went to Hollywood, I couldn't figure out the situation, so I could only smile reservedly, and looked at the agent vaguely.
Are Hollywood directors so personal?
The agent was actually very surprised, but he is a well-informed person and he has been in this circle for quite a while. Let alone a young girl who wants to make a movie, even a monkey, as long as she has money to make a movie, what does it matter to serve it?
"Miss Moran is really funny. Cate just came to Hollywood, and she didn't do very well in many places. I hope you can give her some tips when you have time."
" Yes ." Laila replied, letting in Demi. Two cups of coffee came in. "I don't know what Miss cate's understanding of horror films is?" When
it comes to work, Cate's nervousness disappeared somewhat.
"A horror movie is a very important part. It can have little connotation, no big stars, or no storyline. I know that as long as it makes the audience feel scared, it succeeds."
Laila smiled: "It seems that I and Miss Cate will cooperate very happily." The
other party's words happened to come into her heart. She also finds it very boring for Hollywood-style preaching. Comedies are comedies, just make the audience laugh. The same is true for horror movies. As long as it makes the audience feel scared, does it matter if you turn around and forget?
Mainstream critics always criticize movies with some contempt, thinking that they lack educational significance and soul, Blablaaaa...
Look at the movies that Oscar prefers. Successful commercial films have never been seen by stubborn and aging reviewers. On the contrary, some niche, art films that are said to have a lot of content are more accepted by them. For Laila, what's the point if a movie only serves a small number of people?
Most audiences go to the movies for leisure, to relax, and to throw away the fatigue of work and study. It's so easy to squeeze time, spend dollars to watch movies, and then watch a bunch of distressing "educational films"?
