Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 115 Surprise before the audition (seeking confirmation)

Xiangyang had a great time over the weekend.

"No matter what happens, I'm going to enjoy my Saturday."

After spending a whole week in a row, he took a flight to Los Angeles alone on Sunday night after spending two days of romantic and intimate weekends with Liu Qianxi.

There was not much time there, Le Maire only gave him 2 days.

After landing and walking out of the arrival exit, Xiang Yang saw an unshaven Damien.

"Hey, damn Xiang, I heard you lost Liu?"

As soon as they met, Damien gave Xiang Yang a big sneer, and then hugged him: "You know, Bill and Anna are great. Tomorrow's casting audition will definitely scare you."

"Oh, right." Xiang Yang smiled and shrugged, patted Damien's back with his hand, and said, "Liu asked me to bring you gifts. She said she was really sorry that she couldn't come."

"Don't worry, no one can take away her role."

Afraid that Xiangyang wouldn't believe it, he even patted his chest and added seriously: "I said so."

"Tell me, what good thing makes you so happy." Xiang Yang asked while pulling his suitcase and following him to the parking lot.

"Anna got Warner's investment. Although it's not much, I think it's quite a lot. And I heard Bill say that he contacted many familiar actors through relationships. Our script didn't even win an Oscar for Leonardo. I’ve seen it all, can you believe it?”

"Leonardo DiCaprio?" Xiang Yang was a little surprised, "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

If he remembered correctly, Leo's salary was so high that even if Warner and Chanel invested in this film, the crew would not be able to afford him.

Damien smiled and explained: "Don't you know that the pages of every script in Hollywood are covered with that guy's saliva?"

"..." Xiang Yang thought for a while. The picture that came to his mind made him feel sick. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at Damien when he got in the car. "Tell me something reliable. Will you be auditioning for an actor or an actress tomorrow?" ?Which characters? I need to bring the costume designs corresponding to the characters."

"Both." Damien started the car and smiled: "Man, we live in the same hotel. I can help you get the information tomorrow."

"Hey, the salary has been improved." Xiang Yang joked.

"I'm a director and a screenwriter now, so there's no way I'm going to stay in that shabby hotel again..." Shrugging his shoulders, Damien said, "By the way, after the interview is over, I'll introduce you to a friend, Darren. , Darren Aronzhofsky, who we mentioned when we were talking to Liu before.”

"What do you say?" Xiang Yang looked at Damien curiously.

"The movie he is preparing to shoot has recently made progress, and he is looking for a costume designer."

"Oh, I may not have enough time." Xiangyang waved his hand, expressing that he was sorry for this, "Man, you know I'm still busy with the big show in the second half of the year, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare this time."

"Let's meet first and talk later."

"That's okay, but I guess I'm not good enough. I don't know how to dance."

"You don't understand, Liu does."

"..."

After arriving at the hotel, because they had to rush to the audition early the next day, Damien helped Xiang Yang check in, and then the two of them went to the hotel restaurant.

While eating and drinking beer, the two chatted a lot.

Especially regarding the character setting in the script, Damien was still a little worried that the other party would get confused tomorrow.

In response, Xiang Yang said confidently: "I'll tell you a little trick."

"What's the trick?"

"Liu helped me put codes on all the pictures I drew, and ordered them according to the appearance settings of the characters in your script. So it will definitely be correct." After saying that, Xiang Yang took a sip of beer proudly, and then looked at the domestic time, Liu Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli should still be on the flight back to China at this moment.

She sets off later than herself.

Her mother is also really cruel...she insists on breaking up our miserable couple.

"I really envy you, Xiang." Seeing his triumphant expression, Damien smacked his lips and asked, "By the way, Xiang, I'm curious about something."

"Well, you said."

"I have been thinking about a setting in the script. Tell me, what kind of woman would be obsessed with a man who is about to get married?"

"Uh...I'm never married, how do I know?"

"Think about it...the thing I'm most unsure about right now is this character."

"Uh……"

Xiang Yang thought about it for a while, and pictures of some women flashed through his mind, but he felt that these female stars were either too young or did not have that charm yet, and it was difficult to correspond to the characters in the version of the script that Liu Qianqian sorted out for him.

But it’s not his fault. After all, he is just making suggestions. In the final analysis, actor auditions still rely on producers and directors.

"Maybe we will have the answer tomorrow. I brought some retro silk scarves and headbands. You will be able to tell the difference when you let them wear them."

"Scarf headband? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, it's true. Everyone should have a silk scarf. It was a fashionable element for jazz girls in that era. Garbo, Hepburn and the Isabella in your script." Thinking of when he got it back, Liu Qianqian used it to show her beauty and bring him a wonderful kissing experience. Xiang Yang couldn't help but add:

“A woman who doesn’t wear a scarf will have no future!”

……

The day after Xiang Yang arrived in Los Angeles, Bill came to the hotel early in the morning.

Putting the information he brought in the trunk, the three of them drove to the office location provided by Warner for their crew, located in Hollywood.

On the way, Bill also kept talking to Xiangyang about the preparations for the filming of "Midnight in Paris".

Xiang Yang nodded frequently.

This is his first time to participate in film production, and being able to participate in it from the preparatory stage undoubtedly satisfies some aspects of Xiangyang's sense of curiosity.As a reborn person, he does not pursue the freedom of wealth in the conventional way. After all, he can’t earn or spend all the money just by remembering the nodes in his mind, but the wealth of the spiritual world and the broadening of his horizons , but it’s different.

"Come on, let's have a cup of coffee and let you try some of the Hollywood croissants."

After arriving in Hollywood and parking the car, Bill smiled and said to Xiang Yang.

Not far from where they parked their car, there was a cafe, and if you looked closely, there were several bright yellow parasols standing in the outfield.

"Okay, will you put the information in the car first?" Xiangyang asked, smacking his lips.

"Well, just put it in the car first. I'll ask my assistant to pick it up then." Bill said with a smile, "This coffee shop is very famous and has a long history. Basically, actors, directors, and producers who have worked in Hollywood The filmmakers and staff have all stayed here.”

"So this is an entry ceremony?" Xiangyang joked, and Damien and Bill laughed.

After arriving at the coffee shop and ordering what they wanted, the three of them went to sit in the outfield.

Bill was a smoker, and Damien also smoked two cigarettes occasionally. Xiang Yang, who was quitting smoking, looked at the cigarette that was handed to him and put it in his mouth.

There is no such thing as a cat that doesn't steal fish.Especially when you are with friends and a cup of steaming coffee, it is difficult to resist the temptation of a cigarette.

<divclass="contentadv">The combination of nicotine and caffeine can always bring men the purest sense of satisfaction.

Including the way the white mist rises and dissipates in the breeze, it is so beautiful that it makes people addicted and intoxicated...

"cough cough"

Just as the three of them were puffing away, the sound of coughing from behind made the people who were about to start chatting stop what they were doing.

...Well, it's that person's problem, who lets her sit downwind.

The few people who looked at each other smiled bitterly at each other.

"Sorry, ma'am, we're going to finish right away." Damien turned his head and said to the woman wearing a white loose-fitting pantyhose, tight jeans, and beautiful blond hair.

Emma Stone, who was choked by the smell of cigarettes and coughed, blinked her big bright eyes, waved her hands to dispel the smell of cigarettes from the tip of her nose, and forced a smile.

On a Hollywood set, directors can appear in unexpected places at any time.

She nodded: "No, I just need to adapt in advance. To be honest, I want to thank you all. The role I want to audition happens to be a smoking woman."

Her voice undoubtedly caught Xiang Yang's attention. As a beauty...she is pretty good-looking.

He also turned sideways and saw Emma Stone looking back with a grin on her face. Xiang Yang recognized her immediately.

The moment the breeze lifted her hair, Xiang Yang couldn't help but marvel, what a coincidence, he met a powerful female star of later generations.

The eyes are big and lively, and there is a touch of cuteness in them.

He smiled and said, "Are you preparing for the audition?"

"Uh...are you talking about this?" Emma Stone was stunned for a moment, frowned and paid attention to the Asian with a hearty smile in front of her, and nodded.

It can be seen that the three people in front of me are probably going to sit here for a while, and they all have a cigarette in their hands.

Observing this, she couldn't help but frown and grinned helplessly, "Okay, gentlemen, please enjoy your good time. I still have to work hard for my job."

"Come on, I hope you succeed."

"Thank you."

After saying that, she picked up her knitting bag with a smile, stuffed the single page of the script in her hand, picked up her coffee and walked in.

Unlike Emma Stone, who followed Xiangyang and Damien back to the coffee shop with their eyes, Bill shrugged. He smiled silently at the two of them and continued to smoke.

There are a lot of unknown actors in Hollywood. Those who only hold a one-page script are basically extras running around auditioning. Although she is good-looking, but... there are many good-looking women here.

Seeing the blond girl walk into the coffee shop and find a seat inside, Damien sighed. Shaking his head, he felt that he had missed a good opportunity to go up and ask for the number, but when he was about to comfort himself by smoking When he looked up, he found that Xiang Yang was still looking, so he wrote his dissatisfaction on his face, "Hey! Xiang, why are you staring?"

"Ah, aren't you watching too?"

Xiang Yang came back to his senses, picked up the coffee and took a sip, then pursed his lips and looked at Bill: "By the way, will the character in the script who was born in Bordeaux be scheduled for an audition today?"

"The role of Adrianna?" Bill raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Yes, yes, this is the role. Xiang Yang and I discussed this role for a long time last night." Damien.

"There is no need to audition for this role. Anna has already found a good person. It was also recommended by Warner, so it is difficult to refuse."

"Warner recommended it? Who?"

"Marion Cotillard, she happened to have a film appointment with Warner Bros., "Inception." The filming there had to be delayed, so I recommended her."

"Marion Cotillard!"

Xiang Yang and Damien exclaimed when they heard the name.

Born in Paris in 1975, after filming her first TV series in 1992, Marion's stardom was... smooth sailing. In 98, she won the 24th French César Award for Best New Actress for "Taxi Express". In 2002, she won the Best Newcomer Award at the Cabourg Romantic Film Festival for the sequel to this film. In 04, "Little Miss" won the 57th César Award. She won the Chopin Award for Best New Actress at the Cannes International Film Festival. In 05, she won the César Award for Best Supporting Actress for "A Long Engagement".

And just last year, in 2008, she won the 65th Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Music and Comedy for her biopic "La Vie en Rose", and the 80th Academy Award for Best Actress...

"Bill, are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Bill, my first movie has an Oscar-winning actress as the female lead?"

Xiang Yang and Damien asked at the same time after they came to their senses.

As for Emma Stone just now... Haha, compared to Marion, who would care.

"She read the script and was very interested. But Anna and Karl played a big role in it." Bill briefly explained the reason why Marion was willing to star in the film.

In fact, this is not only due to Warner Bros., but also because this is a film about Paris. She is willing to put down her figure. In addition to her brilliant role in the script, the most important thing is the efforts of Dior.

Marion Cotillard just got the endorsement of Dior’s new spring/summer Lady Noire handbag.

Such a good opportunity they didn't want to miss.

Moreover, even 'Lafayette' took the lead in investing in the entire film. Dior would not be so stupid that he could not see what the combination of 'Lafayette' and 'Lafayette' means in the fashion industry.

So does Marion.

"So you mean, Dior will also sponsor our movies?" Xiang Yang frowned when he heard Dior.

"Yes, otherwise why would they put so much effort into it? Xiang, maybe this movie will bring you a lot of surprises. You have to know how many French luxury goods wanted to appear in Paris in the 20s. They finally Isn’t it the foundation that matters?”

"Are there any other brands?"

"I heard from Anna that she is going to France to go to where you work."

"Hermès wants to get involved too?!"

"It's not just Hermes, Damien, don't accept any auditions for the role of the tour guide."

"..."

After a while, after drinking coffee and eating a few bites of croissants, they arrived at the audition location specially provided by Warner.

The staff inside have already begun preparations.

Bill asked an assistant to come over. After giving him the car key, he asked someone to go directly to the car to help Xiang Yang get the information.

"Uh... forget it, I'll go and digest this matter." Xiangyang waved his hand and motioned for him to get the things he just learned. He felt that he should give Liu Qianqian a call to talk about the matter he just learned. It's better, after all...it seems that the cast of this movie is a bit too big.

Marion Cotillard is not a little person, she is a French actress with the blessing of an Oscar-winning actress.

Her influence in France, leaving aside the older generation, is estimated to be second only to Sophie Marceau and Juliette Noir. I can only imagine Liu Qianqian's reaction after hearing about her being able to star in a movie with her.

It should be... interesting.
