"I don't think it's the most appropriate choice to choose Rachel."

It was Melissa Lane who spoke—she was not caa's agent for a long time. Two years after she was transferred to the special assistant of the Daniel Investment Department of dd Pictures, she became the Chief Content Officer of dd Pictures in this adjustment of dd Pictures — - This is a brand new position. After the news came out, it also attracted the attention of the industry, because this position is responsible for content cooperation, film library, content monitoring, content investment and other fields. For independent studios, it is unquestionable that content is king. Because independent film studios of all sizes, including the original MGM, do not have a huge media network and industrial system to stop the loss of investment in failed films, vision and choice are very important, because Maybe two or three films in a row lose money, and the normal operation of the company will be significantly affected.

So the position of Chief Content Officer is very important for dd Pictures. In fact, Melissa is in the company. He is also the second-in-command after David.

Of course, she had a full say in the production of "The Immortal Gardener".

Now is the third meeting of casting. The three heroines have met with the audition team composed of Fernando, Simon and Melissa. Fernando and Simon both advocate the choice of Rachel Weisz, while Melissa I hope Hilary Swank will play the role.

"Swank is obviously the better choice, and I think her performance in the audition is satisfactory. Besides, there are already media mentions of Rachel and Darren Aronofsky's relationship. , I don't think it's necessary for us to put the movie in the hype at this moment. Also, we need to take into account that Swank and Rachel's price tag is not much different, but they are not the same in terms of publicity value And language, you can imagine how attractive it is that both the male and female protagonists have two Oscar winners and actresses."

Melissa's attitude is of course desirable. From an investor's point of view, a movie needs to consider the final release from the very beginning.

It's just that Fernando obviously doesn't think what Melissa said is the most important.

"My choice is Rachel Weisz. As for her lace, her boyfriend, her worth, it's not my concern. You have to understand. Even if they look similar, they are actually very different." Wank is too sharp, especially after she just starred as a boxer and won her second Oscar. Seriously, the Oscar thing. Sometimes it's not exactly a good thing, it can't be avoided To have an inappropriate aura, which has nothing to do with character, cultivation, and learning—"

Speaking of which, Fernando paused.

"In the beginning, I was also very worried about whether Daniel himself would be disturbed by this Oscar aura, but to be honest, it was surprising that he was an accident, but obviously Swank was not an accident. She doesn't fit in The Gardener, it's not a role that just needs acting."

The discussion did not last long. Fernando and Simon, as directors and producers, always have more say in casting. After all, Melissa is not Daniel, and Daniel is determined not to express his opinion. He is learning how to manage a larger team and company, and leave professional things to professional people. As long as it is not a wrong move that he clearly knows, then there is no need to intervene in everything, it will make the people below know what to do .

"Meet Rachel." Daniel turned to Sally and said.

……

Rachel, who received an invitation to meet with Daniel, couldn't help showing her excitement. She had to take time off from Aro. Although "The Fountain of Love" is about to be finished, she still has a few days to shoot.

"The investment in that movie is not as good as ours. I have absolutely no idea what are you excited about? Oscar? Do you really think you can win an Oscar with that movie?"

Arrow is unspeakably sarcastic, in his opinion. No matter how the outside world talks about "The Immortal Gardener", the Oscar is definitely not something that can be pre-booked. The movie claims to be able to win the Oscar before it is shot. Apart from arrogance, there are no other words to describe it. Rachel's excited look at this moment seemed stupidly stupid, complacent for a benefit that probably didn't exist at all.

They've had a lot of fights about this. Rachel felt that she had no motivation to get angry. She tries to convince Ah Ro.

"Darren, you should understand that Daniel himself can't win the best actor, he needs to be nominated, and the best picture is so difficult, the competition is incentivized. So as long as my performance is good enough, then whether it is the best actress or the best Supporting actresses, the latter is more likely given the role, and anyway, in the end their PR focus will probably include this nomination of mine - there's no better chance than this one. Darren, I need it, as You need a movie that can prove itself."

Rachel still has something to say. Even if she doesn't get her wish this time, there are still many opportunities for her to have another happy cooperation with Daniel in the future.

dd Pictures acquired MGM, and the number of projects manipulated must have increased exponentially. There may not be opportunities for her.

Instead of being persuaded by Rachel's "reasonable" words, Arrow was provoked.

"Don't you think this is funny? Did you forget the report from "Entertainment Weekly"?"

He was referring to an "Entertainment Weekly" report on possible candidates for the heroine of the movie after they identified three candidates, and when referring to Rachel Weisz, they said, "If it ends up being Rachel Winning this role, then this may be the most interesting result. Her fiancé Darren Aronofsky has just accused Daniel of being strong and weak and robbing the script, just a few days later, Rachel It is considered that it is very likely to take over the movie that Daniel invests in and starred in. Maybe this is the real Hollywood, full of absurdity and irony, and everything is driven by profit.”

These words obviously stimulated Arrow so much that he has recently greatly reduced the time he spends going out, and most of his time and energy has been spent on "The Fountain of Precious Love", with all his heart on making a great film.

Now that Rachel is going step by step towards that result, it is indeed a major stimulus for him.

Aro took a deep breath. He approached Rachel and hugged her from behind, his tone much softer.

"Renie, don't go, okay? Your performance in "The Fountain of Preciousness" is also very good, really, I think you have every chance to be nominated for the Golden Globes and Oscars, and Warner Bros. will not be weaker than dd Pictures. , I'll get more PR resources for you, and you'll have a chance. We don't have to make others laugh, do we? Promise me, baby."

The hot and humid breath hit her ears, and Rachel closed her eyes.

If she were a woman with no ambitions like Franka Bertante, the heroine of The Bourne, she might agree to Darren's request. This is her soon-to-be-married husband, albeit a little narrow-minded. , but at least talented, is the man she will entrust her life to.

It is a pity that Rachel Weisz is not a person who is willing to be plain. She had a deep connection with drama performances when she was young. She took the lead in forming a drama troupe when she was a student. She came to Hollywood, the center of the world's film industry, and in just three years, she starred in "Chain Reaction", "Girl in the Land", "Strong Accident", "Blue Sea Love", "Sunshine Lover", "Youth Trek" and "Barrier on the City" and so on. All kinds of films, there are protagonists and supporting roles, all I hope is to get more recognition and higher status.

It was not until the appearance of "The Mummy" that she became a first-line female star in Hollywood.

But her status is in jeopardy. After all, "The Mummy" no longer exists, and she has made no achievements in recent years. Aside from encountering a big hit, like Legally Blonde to Reese Witherspoon, Pirates of the Caribbean to Keira Knightley, the best way for her As long as you win an Oscar for acting, you don't need to be an actress, a supporting actress is enough! In terms of difficulty, in fact, there is not much difference. To choose one of the five, you need to fight hard from the crowd.

She is not a genius like Hilary Swank, every opportunity is very important to her.

She must not pass up this opportunity.

Aro felt the still stiff body in his arms~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Of course he understood what his girlfriend finally chose, and an embarrassed and angry mood filled the room.

"Darren, I'm very uncomfortable."

"Are you uncomfortable? Have you considered me? Do you know how many sarcastic faces I will face after I go out?"

"I really--"

Rachel pushed Arrow away and quickly ran into the bathroom, where she soon heard the sound of vomiting.

This kind of depressing and uncomfortable environment is indeed very easy to make people feel uncomfortable.

Rachel has always understood Arrow's character, which can be seen from his movies. So far, his most famous work "Requiem for a Dream" is known for its extremely dense montage techniques, making despair, depravity, sinking, Darkness, depression, helplessness, loneliness, fear, death and all these negative elements are intertwined - although it is not fair to judge a director only by the way of film performance, but Rachel knows that Arrow is such a person.

Paranoia, ego, madness!

"Maybe we all need to be quiet."

They're not in the same room on the set, the director needs a job aspect, the heroine can't always be there, Rachel goes back to her room, and Aro sits on the sofa and starts smoking.

Rachel Weisz attended Daniel's meeting on time. (To be continued.)
