Chapter 572：

The conversation did not go well.

For an actress, coffee position and worth are bound.

So, Anne Hathaway was a little hesitant.

For Lehman, the current cash flow of Firefly Pictures is quite unstable. It is a period of pain, and it is a good thing to reduce investment.

At the end of the stalemate, Annie remembered what the agent had said when she left, and a blush flashed on her face.

Looking at the big director opposite, after thinking about it, he still said politely: "Mr. Rust, maybe, we can have lunch together later, and then discuss this matter in detail."

Ryman frowned, "I'm going back to the office at noon. So...sorry, Miss Anne."

Now that she decided to use the beauty trick, Annie didn't hesitate, "How about tonight? Or tomorrow, I'm free."

Laiman suddenly understood, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Annie lightly and said, "However, I'm very busy, so maybe I don't have time to waste."

Annie's eyes darkened, and she once again had an indescribable regret about her appearance.

However, if you can get opportunities just by looking at your face, is there any room for other "mediocre" people in Hollywood?

Not to mention that this is a big project involving 30 million. Which actress can be worth 30 million just by relying on her face?

The body is not worth it either.

His eyes suddenly turned into resentment.

But Lehman didn't care, he said for the last time: "This time I'm here to talk about the audition. You passed the first round. If you fully understand the role and can reach the final state, there is still hope. Of course, if There is a better chance of reaching an agreement on remuneration as well.”

After speaking, Lehman left.

He went to see Brian Lord.

For this caa boss, Lehmann has a good impression.

And when Brian saw him like this, he knew that things didn't work out, he hesitated slightly, and gave another reason to refuse high salary, "In recent years, from the commercial field to the literary field... Annie has never left. Shun."

Lehmann smiled, "Prada is a good project, especially for an actress like her."

"I will persuade her."

The first responsibility of caa is to protect the interests of its customers, but sometimes, the status of customers is not equal.

Moreover, caa's resources are rarely tilted downward, otherwise Annie will not gradually become "unable to shoot" in the past two years.

......

On October 30th, although the script was still further revised, the film "Prada" had been officially approved within the industry, with a budget of 30 to 35 million.

At the same time, Firefly Pictures also issued role invitations to major brokerage companies.

Other supporting roles and passers-by needed to be screened, and Lyman handed over the power to casting assistant Glenn and executive producer Blake, who helped with the audition together.

......

Beverly Hills at night.

Eva watched with interest Lehmann put a CD into the DVD player.

It was on a whim that he wanted to watch a movie.

Perhaps, it was not a whim, but after listening to some of Brian's words, Lyman wanted to know what works Annie had performed in the literary and art circles.

After all, except for "Brokeback Mountain", which was still a success, Lehmann had a little memory, and Anne seemed to have disappeared from Hollywood for two years.

The "Pretty Beauty" that is currently being shown is Annie's work in March this year. Because of the poor performance in the theater, it entered the offline market early.

Literary movies, bad box office is the norm, but this one has no rumors at all, so it's very strange.

But halfway through, Lehmann understood why the film was not well known.

The story is about the gang world in Los Angeles. It stands to reason that there is quite a lot of room for excavation of this theme.

Fights, vendettas or humanity, whether it's Martin or Lyman, many directors have gained fame and fortune in gangster movies.

But the director of the film, Barbara Caton, put her perspective on the two beautiful girls, which is very novel and unique.

And one of the female protagonists is Alyssa played by Annie. In order to find excitement, she hangs out with the little gangsters, but accidentally enters the biggest local gang, and is spotted by a big boss...

Under the rough visual effects of the film, Anne Hathaway also contributed to her professional debut on the screen - the **** scene.

It stands to reason that the sacrifice is so big, and it should have a certain impact, but the nakedness is not naked, or the nakedness is not straightforward enough, so it can only be scruples.

You must know that Sharon Stone became famous in "Instinct"; Nicole also contributed **** scenes in "Eyes Open", which was popular for a while, but Annie has always been focusing on pure characters, which can't be taken off, but In order to break through the limitations of the play path, we can only try bravely.

But obviously, taking off and not taking off is not a tangled point, because the movie is really boring and boring, and it has no depth of thinking and no resonance.

If you play art, you don't play art, or the means of direction and rhythm control are a bit poor.

There is a literary fan in the bones, and the director's choice cannot be said to be bad, but this is a work that can be regarded as a failure.

After watching, Lehman asked: "What do you think of this movie?"

Eva was at a time when she was inexplicable, and when she heard the words, her evaluation was very pertinent, "The plot is a bit protracted, the main line is not clear enough, the character characterization is too shallow, and there are too many scenes for the supporting roles. If you focus on the change of mind of the two heroines And a little more brush and ink to describe the Los Angeles gang, it should be good."

"But that's two stories." Lyman laughed.

"Did you watch this movie?" Eva wondered.

"Just curious, you can evaluate Anne Hathaway's performance."

"The story can't be told well, and the actors are wrong no matter how they act. Moreover, she didn't let go enough, and the emotions of the bed scenes were not in place, but the rest was fine."

"Haha Lyman finds it funny.

When did my girlfriend become so sharp.

But I never thought about it, and Eva herself said again: "After I came into contact with the production business, I feel that the angle of view of the problem is different. Like before, I may only care about the role of the role, and the space to play is not large. , Is there any ** and impulse to play."

"It's a good thing and right. A movie is not just about characters and stories anyway, it also has narrative methods, camera angles, and even the overall coordination and harmony, and maybe the emphasis, color, lighting, soundtrack... …”

Eva pursed her lips and interrupted with a smile: "If I keep saying this, I will become a director."

"Is it bad to be a director?" Ryman asked rhetorically.

"Well..." Eva thought about it for a while, and then said: "I like acting. I also learn to act, and I am also exposed to acting. I prefer the front of the stage to the behind the scenes."

"Okay. You're right." Faced with such a performative beauty, what else can Lehmann say except support.
