Chatty Hollywood

Of course, since it was just a random guess, Charlotte herself didn't expect that her guess would be correct.

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

Just in case, he thought he'd better investigate there.

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

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

——This is why Charlotte insisted on filming "The Sixth Sense" in Malcolm Sanitarium.

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

As for whether this will cause a psychological shadow on the actor playing the leading role, Charlotte doesn't care.

——For men, he does not take the same care as he does for women and children.

"However, if the filming is in the Malcolm Nursing Home, River and I won't be able to go in and help, right?"

When Lao Qiang went to contact the nursing home, Alexis suddenly thought of this problem.

"That's true in the short term."

Charlotte nodded,

"But in essence, dragons reject ghosts that do not belong to them. It is just a sense of territoriality. I can think of a way to help you obtain the admission certificate."

"……All right."

——Why do you say that there is no difference between a terrifying monster like a dragon and a relatively unreasonable security guard?

Alexis felt weird.

Of course, she did not forget the work that Charlotte had given her before.

"I've spoken to Sam Fehr and he's agreed to do The Sixth Sense."

"Is he scared?"

"Kind of."

Charlotte shrugged.

he thinks,

Sam Fehr, a little boy who was truly born with yin and yang eyes, was far less afraid of ghosts than Cole in the story "The Sixth Sense".

This is actually normal.

After all, unlike in movie stories, in reality, there are many ghosts in Hollywood, but not to that extent.

—Sam Fell probably hasn’t seen too many ghosts that scare him.

"But if his yin and yang eyes continue to be strong, it will only be a matter of time before he sees dangerous ghosts."

Charlotte felt that perhaps taking back Sam's yin and yang eyes would be the best help to him.

Of course, it's too early to tell.

Among other things, 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 was satisfied;

"Now, all we need to consider are the candidates for the two female leads."

As she spoke, Charlotte picked up a stack of resumes of actresses.

"Look, this is all sent by CAA!"

"It's really quite a lot!"

Alexis sighed;

"No wonder I always failed in so many auditions when I was alive - indeed, even if it is a small role, if you want to win it, you can't do it without some support."

"..."

Charlotte wisely did not comment on Alexis's sigh.

He had previously deliberately asked Charlize to reveal the information to Pat Kingsley. In addition to selling a favor, he also had the idea of ​​letting the agency help screen the information first.

Now it seems that it is not unreasonable for CAA to make the packaging business prosperous in Hollywood.

At least, most of the resumes of actresses sent to Charlotte met his basic requirements——

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

This role requires a certain amount of acting skills without looking too old.

As for the wife of the male protagonist Dr. Malcolm, the role of the male protagonist's spouse 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 noticed by the audience early on, she had to not fully express the feeling of a widow, but more like a cold wife who had a bad relationship with her husband.

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

——These two roles are not particularly difficult to play.

But it is impossible to say that acting is not required at all.

"Looks like I still have to do an audition."

Charlotte pondered.

**********

At the same time, another director was also thinking about the heroine of his movie.

"How about using this Charlize Theron?"

Tyler Hackford was hesitant.

As a veteran director, Hackford has always felt that actresses who are too beautiful are not suitable for playing characters with tragic fate and sympathy.

Because beauty brings jealousy. Jealousy is the antonym of sympathy.

However, during the audition, Charlize Theron did really well.

In fact, she was the most emotionally expressive of all the actresses who auditioned.

"It seems that even though the three movies she participated in before were all purely commercial films, her acting skills still got a lot of training!"

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

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

——Isn’t it because of Keanu Reeves’ explosive popularity after “Speed”?

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

But this was also the reason why he was hesitant in choosing the heroine——

Should we focus more on acting, or should we focus more on box office?

If you want to lean towards acting, although Charlize Theron performed well in the audition, she is not the only choice.

——Her acting skills are relatively not rounded enough. Although expressive, it can sometimes seem stiff.

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

"It's just a matter of NGing a few more times."

This is actually not a problem for an experienced director like Hackford.

What really makes Charlize Theron the first choice for the heroine is her popularity——

Tsui in "Happy Death Day" and Katrina in "Sleepy Hollow". These two popular roles have given Charlize Theron, a 20-year-old actress, quite good box office appeal.

This kind of popularity is helpful to the box office of "The Devil's Advocate".

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

——Because the other party is not an unknown little character who can be at his mercy.

——The other party's agent, Pat Kingsley, even put forward very clear restrictions on some shooting scales.

This gave Hackford a feeling of being restricted.

Although, as an experienced director, he can still achieve the desired effect by using borrowed positions, stand-ins, etc.

But the feeling is always different.

In the end, Headford could only sigh.

He remembered a line from his new movie——

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