"Let's put it this way, Murphy."

At the desk, Jessica Alba sat at the desk and looked at Murphy on the opposite side very seriously, "Apart from nudity, do you think I'm suitable for everything else?"

She could tell from the audition.

Murphy didn't answer directly, just smiled.

The fact is indeed the case. Regardless of whether it is preconceived or not, Jessica Alba has a very big advantage in terms of appearance alone. She looks sweet and lovable, and has a **** and hot body.

"I think I'm very suitable for Nancy's setting," Jessica Alba smiled sweetly again. A few years ago, she might have low self-esteem, but her appearance now brings her self-confidence. "I have participated in professional dance classes. Dancing is easy for me. I believe that even if I dance in clothes, I can attract many people..."

Several years of hard work in Hollywood also let her know the importance of self-confidence. If you don't even believe in yourself, how to convince others.

But before she finished her words, Murphy shook her head, "Jesse, I admire you very much. I have never concealed this from the audition until now."

Jessica Alba was stunned, then nodded slightly, she felt that there was nothing wrong.

"I remember you were born as a child star?" Murphy suddenly changed the subject.

"Yes." Jessica Alba smiled confidently, "I started acting in movies in 1993."

These are her advantages.

Murphy tilted her head and looked at her, "I take the liberty to ask, how old are you this year?"

This is a poorly polite question. Jessica Alba hesitated for a moment, and still said, "I'm almost 22 years old."

"Twenty-two years old," Murphy said in a meaningful way. "Twenty-two years old is already a very dangerous age for a youth idol."

Jessica Alba's eyes drooped and the smile on her face diminished.

"Have you thought about it, Jesse?" Murphy still wants to use Jessica Alba if there is hope. "How long can you go on the youth idol route you are positioning?"

Before Jessica Alba could answer, he continued, “I believe you know better than me that youth idols have a shelf life, and the shelf life is often very short. It’s difficult to stick to the road of youth idols until twenty. Five years old."

Murphy was not in a hurry. Instead, he stopped and let Jessica Alba think about it. He is not talking nonsense. This is a situation that young idol actors will inevitably face as they get older.

"I don't know if your agency has reminded you," Murphy added, "Jesse, you should be transformed."

The smile on Jessica Alba's face is getting weaker and weaker. Why does she hold onto the character of Nancy? This film faces adult audiences, not those hairy kids...

Looking at actors who have taken the route of youth idols to become famous in recent years, very few actors have been able to transform successfully. They create a batch of youth idols, throw them away when they expire, and then make a new batch. This is a common phenomenon in Hollywood, unless they are very serious. They have characteristics or excellent acting potential. Otherwise, most agency companies will not help young idol actors to develop a complete transformation plan. Instead of spending a lot of resources on a transformation with a low probability of success, it is better to re-credit a group of good-quality actors. Young newcomers come out.

There is never a shortage of young men and women with outstanding looks in Hollywood.

After probing, Murphy could see from Jessica Alba's reaction that her agent shouldn't have done much planning in this area.

"Neve Campbell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Love Hewitt, these smash hit Hollywood idols, how many people still remember them?"

If it weren’t for their presence in the tabloids, these people would have long been forgotten, “Jesse, their biggest problem is that they didn’t make a decisive transformation when it was time to transform, and they continued to eat their youth idol’s roots. When the age is really old, there will be no chance for restructuring."

Jessica Alba was a little confused, "Is this related to the character of Nancy? This is also a vase character..."

"But vases and vases are also different. Some vases can be performed in their forties," Murphy reminded. "Some cannot be performed after they are over twenty-five."

Most of the vase roles of youth idols are limited to those around the age of seventeen or eighteen. If they are not born with a baby face, they will rarely find a suitable role after the age of twenty-three or four.

"But..." Jessica Alba no longer had the confidence she had just now, "I'm older, I can still..."

"Can you still play the role of a mature vase?" Jessica Alba's mind seemed so clear, knowing that she was not an acting school, Murphy shook her head and said, "You can take a closer look, how many After a youth idol breaks away from this type of work and role, can he still get an influential mature vase role? If he wants to play a mature vase role, he is stereotyped by the previous role and has no appeal among adult audiences. Can’t impress adult audiences, and soon..."

He shrugged and said, "Jesse, why do you want the role of Nancy? Don't give up even if the contract is not agreed? Let alone my reason, my little director does not have this kind of appeal."

Jessica Alba's eyes fluttered everywhere, just not looking at Murphy, just like a little girl whose mind was seen through.

"Because the audience for this film must be an adult audience over the age of 17! This will allow you to enter non-youth characters that you have never seen before!" Through the words just now, Murphy has gradually grasped Jessica Alba's Psychology, "Nancy looks like a vase, but it is a vase in the comics that is extremely critical to the plot. It is easy to make a deep impression."

He leaned forward and looked at Jessica Alba, whose eyes were fluttering. "Nancy is completely different from your previous role. Although it is a vase, it is out of the category of youth idols."

Jessica Alba pursed her mouth, trying to deny it, but she swallowed again after seeing the burning eyes on the other side.

If it wasn't for Nancy's role to be completely different from the previous role she played in, she has already broken out of the category of youth idols, and can still maximize her own advantages, why should she chase this role?

She is not desperate!

But the **** scene...Jessica Alba frowned slightly, and the reason for her rejection was because the **** scene would hurt her current position.

Refusing to be **** and getting the role of Nancy is a good way to get the best of both worlds. Even if the role of Nancy is unsuccessful, it will not have much negative impact on the current career.

"The sooner the transition is, the better," Murphy said again, "This will leave a greater buffer for yourself. Jessie, since you understand your own situation, you should know the first role after leaving the restrictions of youth idols. It’s very important. Dramatic changes and imagery must have a profound impact on people, especially for audiences over the age of 17. If you win their reputation, you will win the future."

Finally, he said, "As long as you take off the coat of youth idol, you will be able to transform successfully."

The former Jessica Alba, after her stunning performance in "Sin City", returned to the old path, but her acting career went from bad to worse...

Murphy will definitely enter the mainstream commercial film circle in the future, and also needs a super popular vase. Jessica Alba is a good type.

Of course, the premise is that she is no longer a pure youth idol, and the pure youth idol is not suitable for his future film style.

Looking at the watch on purpose, Murphy reminded, "It's getting late. Jessie, I still have work to do. Let's stop here today."

"I..." Jessica Alba stood up, "Shall I think about it again?"

Murphy nodded, "I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. It is best not to exceed this weekend."

He said everything that should be said. If Jessica Alba still insists, he has no choice but to choose Sofia Vergara.

After Jessica Alba left, Murphy continued to improve her filming plan, and the preparations would not be slowed down by the selection of an actress, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the afternoon, Quentin Tarantino came to visit again and came to Murphy to settle the account.

"You said you're going to direct a guest role in my film for one day. What happened?" Quentin stood in the middle of the office and asked Murphy loudly, "I'll call you, and you're busy, that's fine! I'll wait." You, I ended up shooting and you didn't even show up!"

Perhaps the movies I like are somewhat similar, and they can also find a common language in filming and production. From the first meeting, the two are more speculative, and they go straight between talking, without so much scruples.

"I forgot!" Murphy quickly picked up a glass of water for the ruffian director and walked over to give him, "Really, I really forgot."

The ruffian director raised his eyebrows again to say something, Murphy quickly changed the subject, "I heard that after the filming of "Kill Bill" was completed, you put the samurai sword customized for the group of 88 and Ishii Yuren in a private collection. Up?"

"What do you want to do?" Quentin immediately became alert.

"Borrow a few to use."

Those prop knives were made by Quentin from Japan at a cost of more than 60,000 U.S. dollars. Murphy didn't want to be so troublesome. "Did you forget? Mie's weapon in the comics is also a katana."

"All right." Quentin heard that it was a business matter, and was still very comfortable. "I'll send you some of them someday."

The Ziyi-Ms. Zhang passed the audition for Meihui, she has already come to the crew to report, and is following the action director team for some necessary training.

The preparatory work of the film is like this, how convenient and how to shoot, in addition to these, Murphy also frequently meets and communicates with the heads of the three studios who frequently travel to Venice and sign special effects production contracts with the crew, and check them out at the same time. The advanced special effects model.

As soon as the weekend arrived, the crew received a call from Jessica Alba’s agent. She agreed to take over the role of Nancy, but there are still restrictions on the **** scenes, which can have top and back shots. But there can be no positive ****.
