pulling the skin of a tiger to attract beauties

A few minutes later, the two sat across from each other in the cafe across the road.

After the two of them had ordered coffee, Wolfer asked her bluntly.

"Well, Joan, if you don't mind, I assume you're here to meet Agent Charles, right?"

Joan paused, then nodded.

"Yes, I want to meet with Agent Charles, but he is too busy. Oh, by the way, are you a relative of his?"

Wolf nodded slightly, but then reminded him.

"Not a relative, but you could say he was a family friend. My father and he were alumni of the same school, so he treated me like a nephew."

"Oh? That's great."

Joan smiled.

"So, are you also here to deal with work-related matters?"

Wolf nodded.

"Well, we have to see how it goes. Speaking of which, what about you? You are an actor. Are you filming any movies or TV series now?"

Joan's smile weakened slightly, she was silent for a moment, and then she said.

"Well, not yet. However, you may not know that I actually debuted very early. Before I was 15 years old, I had already appeared in movies. In the following years, I also appeared in some movies, so I have quite a lot of experience."

"But the problem is, these characters are too ordinary. In the eyes of the audience, I am still a child actor, even though I am already in my 20s."

Just then, a waiter came to their table and served them two cappuccinos.

Wolf asked after the waiter left.

"It's a shame, but why do you think your career has stalled in this way?"

Joan took a sip of coffee with a thoughtful expression on her face. After a long silence, she finally spoke.

"I think the problem was with me. I remember that during my years as a child star, I was very confident in myself and even became a little arrogant. I didn't care enough about the friends I made along the way, and I didn't bother to develop relationships. Because of this, I was unknowingly creating a lot of difficulty for my future."

After a moment of silence, Joan shook her head and smiled awkwardly.

"What am I talking about? We just met and I'm already talking nonsense. Maybe it's the pressure that makes me think too much -"

Wolf interrupted, with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, sometimes, you need to get the words out. Trust me, I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect to hear an answer like that. In fact, what you said is exactly what I wanted to hear."

"...What do you mean?"

June frowned at him.

Wolf collected his thoughts and said.

"Well, I'll explain everything to you, but first, I have a proposal. Would you be interested in auditioning for one of my future projects?"

"Well..." Joan hesitated, then replied, "I can find out first."

While Wolf seems like a nice guy, there are a lot of people in this industry who are not what they seem.

And she can't just agree to the other party's invitation after chatting for a few words.

Most of the time, new directors try to do something extreme and release movies that attract a lot of attention and criticism.

They would have struggling women in the industry perform nudity or similar scenes to make the movie a hit.

She couldn't accept doing unspeakable things in movies, such as nudity scenes.

Therefore, she will not easily agree to the other party before she understands it clearly.

She had already offended a director by breaking a promise, and she didn't want to make the same mistake again.

Wolf explained to her.

"Well, the project I have in mind is in the horror and thriller genre. It will have three main characters, one female and two male. I thought you could try out for the female lead role."

"But why me?"

"Because your experience resonates with this female character."

Wolf replied after thinking for a moment.

"Over the course of the project, the heroine will undergo a transformation, from egotistical and overconfident at the beginning to humble and desperate at the end."

Joan asked:

"Oh, will it have any explicit scenes?"

Many directors use explicit scenes to evoke emotion in horror films.

Wolf understood what she was thinking and shook his head.

"No, don't worry. We don't need anyone to do any explicit scenes."

Joan replied.

"Then I will definitely consider it. I will let you know when I make a decision."

"Well, that's totally fine with me. You can take some time to think about it, and maybe we can have another cup of coffee and talk through the details."

Joan smiled softly.

In any case, Wolf is a charming man.

Although there is an 80% failure rate for new directors or projects, Joan felt that working with Wolf would be a pleasure.

Still, she didn't agree immediately.

After some conversation, Joan bought the bill.

After leaving each other's contact information, Wolf went home contentedly.

If things go as he predicts, he'll not only be able to sell the script for "17 Again," but he'll also be able to find a star for his first movie.

This is wonderful.

The next day, Wolf went for a morning run.

In his past life - I should say in his previous world line, he rarely exercised.

But after coming to this world, his mind changed. Facing the upcoming good days, he wanted to at least have a healthy body.

While he was running, he kept thinking about the Blair Witch project.

Now, the deal for "Seventeen Again" is basically complete, and he just needs to wait for the news.

Therefore, his next focus is on planning to shoot this horror movie.

After all, he is not only a screenwriter but also a director.

Of course, Wolf never thought he would make his debut in a horror movie, but he couldn't help it. "Blair Witch" seemed to be the best choice in terms of cost and benefit.

This is a horror movie rarely seen in Hollywood.

While it's hardly a classic, it's sure to give viewers the creeps.

The producers of "Blair Witch" are keenly aware that supernatural documentaries scare them more than traditional classic films.

That's why they decided to use the almost extinct "documentary camera approach",

After the movie was released, the technology was revived again.

This technique was later adopted in films such as "The Walking Dead" and "Cloverfield," and they even became popular films of the year.

Simply put, this shooting technique uses a portable camera to shoot a movie and make it look like a "mockumentary."

In this world, documentary-style camera techniques still exist, but they have also been dead for decades.

Meanwhile, horror movies have become commonplace over time, as useless plot subplots dilute the scare factor and make it difficult for viewers to buy into them.

This provided an opportunity for Wolf to create something even more popular than the original.
