[American Entertainment] Bright life

Let’s not talk about whether the future cooperation between Grace and Derek Sterling is happy or not. Sterling is also unforgiving and they have some disagreements about the choice of "Magic Romance", but it is certain: Sterling The planning book brought by Lin Dao was a plan for shaping Grace's image. When Grace read ten lines at a glance, Sterling took a sip of coffee and said, "Actually, this is what every professional agent will do. But the difference between me and them is that they basically don't have to worry about the client they want to work with will run away halfway, except of course if the client has been in Hollywood for a few years and has nothing to do. And I, Miss Green, you also saw that this is A long-term plan is not because I look at you with colored eyes, princess of the Green family, but because of your own personality that "likes the new and dislikes the old". You can easily achieve success in a certain field, but After the success, I lost interest in making further progress, which is why I suggested that you also entrust WMA with the responsibility of publishing your books, so that if you lose interest in acting in the future, as your agent, I will not cause my career to plummet .”

Grace looked up at him.

Sterling twitched the corner of his mouth: "I said that I am a competent agent. If I offend you, then I apologize to you."

"No, you didn't," Grace said understandingly. "You're showing off your abilities and hoping to get approval from me, the client you have to accept. Well, that's not surprising, given that you've been told since childhood that you It is a matter of being adopted, and the emotions are not satisfied to a certain extent, which makes you have a slight identity torment, that is to say, only when others value you, you will value yourself more. However, the torment of external recognition, It’s a very rare and common imagination in the showbiz, you don’t have to feel troubled.”

Sterling smiled: "Thank you for your comfort."

Grace accepted his 'compliment' with peace of mind: "You're welcome."

Sterling rolled his eyes in his heart, and he was silent for a moment before speaking: "After meeting you personally, I can't help but think that I picked out "Enchanted Romance" from the pile of scripts provided by Mr. Green. ", is an extremely correct decision."

However, after reading the script of "Enchanted", Grace said blankly, "That's your illusion."

"Really? The heroine Giselle in the story is a princess in a fairy tale world. Her world view is idealized, which is incompatible with the world view of real people. So when the story does not follow the popular routine of fairy tales, the beautiful princess and The handsome prince fell in love at first sight and lived happily ever after, but the princess in the fairy tale came to the cruel and indifferent real world, and her idealized world view was bound to have a fierce collision with the world view of real people." Ster Lin Yi glanced at Grace pointedly, "Miss Green, you must be very experienced in the collision of different worldviews, aren't you?"

"I live in a world full of goldfish, what do you think?" Grace gave Sterling Amway's "Goldfish Talk" by her brother Mycroft, and then thought of Angus.When Sterling was speechless, she changed her mind: "I accept."

Although Sterling didn't know about the 'goldfish terrier', it didn't prevent him from understanding what Grace meant. No one would be happy about being fooled.So Sterling, who had lighted up his skills, said unceremoniously after Grace changed his words and said: "You just got the script, but it doesn't mean you will get the role in the end. Miss Green."

Grace replied casually: "Just as you were reluctant to be my agent at the beginning, but in the end you still sat here and tried to ask if I would cooperate with you?"

Sterling: "..."

"I'm not the princess of the Green family, Mr. Sterling." Grace raised her gray-blue eyes and looked at Sterling as she said.After Elizabeth's death, Roderick paranoidly wanted his and Elizabeth's daughter to become a princess in a fairy tale according to Elizabeth's wish, from room decoration to clothing to words and deeds... At that time, Grace had just brought her memories Coming to a world that doesn't belong to her, the palace of thinking is on the verge of collapse, but this can't hinder the experience of "pink" and leave a psychological shadow on her, so at the beginning she was very interested in playing a fairy tale world There is nothing wrong with the princess's resistance.

Sterling understood Grace's intention that she was not a princess. From his point of view, princesses in fairy tales are pure, kind and beautiful, and do not understand intrigues, but Grace clearly knows the cruelty and unspoken rules in reality.But he understood, but he still said: "I think the handsome prince can breathe a sigh of relief." If there is a princess with Grace's character, wouldn't the prince be a tragedy?

Grace blinked and replied: "Your last client refused to cooperate with you because you were 'not good at words', right? Sorry."

Sterling: "..." How could she have the nerve to say that other people are not good at words? Is there anyone in the world who can be as good at words as she is?

……

In fairy tales, there are basically beautiful princesses, handsome princes, and evil queens. The prince and princess fell in love at first sight, but were thwarted by the queen. together.

The beginning of "Enchanted" is such a fairy tale that happened in the fairy tale world. Princess Giselle and Prince Edward, when they thought their true love was standing in front of them, the evil queen appeared, and she pushed Princess Giselle into the infinite world. in the bottom vortex.Here the story changes drastically. Giselle came out of the bottomless vortex, but came from the fairy tale world to the real world, becoming a real woman, not a princess in the animation.In this completely unfamiliar environment, the innocent Giselle in a princess dress meets Robert, a serious and practical divorce lawyer, and his youngest daughter Morgan.With the development of the plot, Giselle and Robert developed a good impression of each other, and Prince Edward also came to the real world... At the end of the story, the princess did not return to the fairy tale world with the prince, but stayed in the real world with Robert live together.

This is an unconventional fairy tale love story, and it requires actors, especially the actor who plays the heroine Giselle, to have profound understanding and good acting skills.After all, what she experienced was the impact and collision of two completely different worlds, but she herself is not a real character, but a fairy tale character. In terms of the real world, she is a character that appears in cartoons.How to grasp the character of the fairy tale characters well, and how to perfectly reflect the incompatibility and the contradictions between different worlds when the fairy tale characters come to the real world, need to be controlled by the actors themselves.

Regarding the choice of Giselle, the director of "Enchanted" Kevin Lima, who has directed "Tarzan" and "101 Dalmatians", is optimistic about the comedy movie "Beetle" that was just released in August. "Amy Adams, who contributed a wonderful performance, is not only outstanding in her acting skills, but Amy Adams also has a natural red hair, which is very suitable for the film to use animation to tell about Princess Giselle in the fairy tale world at the very beginning. settings.

Kevin Lima recommended Amy Adams to producers Christopher Chase and Barry Josephson-directors in Hollywood are not so authoritative, because Hollywood implements a "producer-centric system", The producer has the most power in the crew. After all, the director is just working for the producer, unless you are a very big-name director, like Steven Spielger, James Cameron, etc. — originally he During the initial communication with Josephson, Josephson also expressed his optimism for Amy Adams.

But in just two days, Josephson's tone changed: "Amy Adams is good, but I think we have other choices. Making this movie better is our common goal. Isn't it?"

Kevin Lima is not a rookie director who has just stepped into Hollywood, and he has adapted well to the "producer-centered system". He originally recommended Amy Adams and hoped to use his favorite actor, but he also knew that he would eventually take The idea was from the producer, so he was just recommending it, and he didn't contact Amy Adams hastily.

"Do you have any favorite candidates?" Kevin Lima asked, guessing in his heart that Josephson might want to use an actress who is more famous than Amy Adams, although Amy Adams is in "The Beetle" The performance in the film has attracted the attention of many critics, but her fame can only barely be regarded as a B-list actor...

Thinking of this, Kevin Lima got a completely unfamiliar name from producer Josephson, Grace Green.Kevin Lima racked his brains to recall the list of young actresses up and coming in Hollywood lately, and none quite matched Grace Green.Kevin Lima couldn't just say that he didn't know someone, so he laughed and said: "I must have been so busy recently, I always feel that I have heard this name somewhere, but I can't remember it all at once."

Josephson on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before speaking: "Actually, she is a best-selling author."

Kevin Lima: "..." Seriously?

Josephson didn't want to explain the interest relationship with Kevin Lima, felt the need to reassure the director, and added after a pause, "Actually, her acting skills are still very impressive, you don't have to worry. "

——Obviously, Josephson had met Grace before this. Believe him, it was not only Grace's acting skills that impressed him deeply.

Kevin Lima didn't feel at ease. His frowning could kill mosquitoes, and he obviously understood the tricks, so before seeing Grace himself, he had no impression of Grace in his heart. What's the matter, and I think it's better not to have too much hope for Grace's acting skills, but life is full of surprises, and when the director meets Grace herself, he will have a deep understanding.
