Chapter 17 - Invitation

Charlize was talking to herself in a daze, and didn't expect someone to respond. Even she herself thought that she knew the final answer, an answer that she didn't like anyway. This is Hollywood. If you want to work hard here, you can only submit to its rules, right?

　　Then Laila answered her.

　　"I don't think so. Failure to succeed is just not working hard enough. What you want is to ask yourself if you have exhausted everything possible to accomplish that goal."

　　Although Charlize has a beautiful face, it does not mean that she is really a vase. In fact, she is more serious and smarter than her peers. After thinking about what Laila said, she already knows what to do.

　　"Yes, I will not give up. One day I will use my strength to prove my worth in Hollywood!"

　　Laila smiled slightly "That's right." If you don't even have this awareness, this beauty The South African diamond will not receive her honor in the future. It's not that her words have such a moving effect, but Charlize already has her own answer in her heart, but she just didn't realize it.

　　"Although the heroine this time has been set, we still have a few supporting roles who haven't found a suitable candidate. Are you interested?" Laila thought about it and asked. She likes this serious girl and wants to give her a little help.

　　"Of course! Of course I'm interested!" Agent Mike hurriedly responded. There are roles, or several choices. Where can I find such a good thing?

　　By this time he also saw that his artist was very popular with the director. This is not just an ordinary rookie director, she has her own film company, and the powerful Moran family is behind her back. As long as she doesn't get tired of playing the "film game" for a day, it means that once there is a suitable role, Charlize Will have more possibilities to be the chosen person than others!

　　In Hollywood, there are too many actors wandering downstream looking for jobs. How many of them can have such good luck?

　　Mike glanced at Charlize with joy, and felt that he had done the right thing to dig her out of the model line. This beauty will definitely become his most valuable cash cow in the future! Maybe he will become the most accomplished star of his own!

　　"Yes, I'm very interested." Charlize, who seemed to be smashed by luck, didn't believe her good luck, and only reacted under the secret signal of the agent.

　　"I don't know what you think about Japanese horror films." Laila suddenly changed the subject, making the other two stunned at the same time.

　　"Japan is a beautiful country, and it also has very beautiful traditions." Mike didn't know, so he could only boast a few words dryly.

　　Charlize was very honest, and even told the truth under the eyes of the agent: "Sorry, I don't know that country too well."

　　"Ha ha. Don't be nervous, I just ask casually." Laila smiled: "If I want to invite you to participate in my second film, would you be happy to come back for another audition? I think if there is no accident, that heroine role is yours."

　　This is the happiest one again. The meteorite hit Charlize and Mike on the heads. What does it mean? This is the rhythm appointed by the director!

　　If he didn't know that the director was a girl, Mike would have thought that some hidden dark rules would be run into by his little Charlize.

　　"That's really great! Miss Moran, based on your eyes, I believe your first movie will be a big hit!" He stood up excitedly and bowed to Moran again and again.

　　After sending away the two, Demi asked suspiciously "Miss Moran, have you started preparing for the second movie?"

　　"It's not a preparation, just an idea." Laila put her hand on the table. Hold the pen at your fingertips and turn it a few times, then find a piece of paper and write a few names on it "You give this to Louise and ask her to buy the rights to the book."

　　"Okay ." Demi took it in her hand: "The ring? Mitsuji Suzuki? This is a Japanese novel?"

　　"Is there any problem?" Laila raised her eyebrows.

　　Demi hurriedly lowered her head to pretend to be "very busy, very busy", and walked outside holding the folder "No, I'll go and hand it to Louise now."

　　She did have a problem, and it was quite a big problem. But she didn't have the guts to say it!

　　Hollywood is very exclusive, and the relationship between Japan and the United States is very good, but it does not mean that the United States can adapt to Japanese language. In her impression, it seems that she hasn't seen a movie adapted from a Japanese novel. Even if there is, it should not be well-known, right?

　　But these problems are not something she needs to worry about. As a secretary, she has to do what the boss says.

　　Perhaps not many people know what the name 'The ring' means, but if you say "Midnight Bell", there are probably a bunch of people who say "Oh~" with a dumb expression.

　　The female ghosts in Japanese horror stories are usually very beautiful and very scary. Charlize's beauty reminds her of Japanese stories. When it comes to Japanese horror stories, the most famous ones are probably The grudge.

　　In 1998, Japan produced the movie version of the Midnight Ring, which successfully scared countless people by this horrible story. Its success made Hollywood unable to sit still. In 2002, it launched a US version of the remake of the movie, and received many praises and box office.

　　She admired Charlize and wanted to give her a chance. "Midnight Ring" should be a good choice.

　　As for why the second movie is still a horror movie... can it be said that the cost of this kind of movie is very small?

　　Laila felt that with her memories of her previous life, she could choose to let Phoenix Company specialize in horror movies. It's best when people who like horror movies mention the name of Phoenix, they will think of the horror movies they made. It would be better if they were scared to death by the way.

　　It doesn't need too much cost, and you can gain a firm foothold in a certain aspect. Is there a more attractive decision than this?

　　"Just do it!" Laila made a decision and walked out from behind her desk satisfied. The hero and heroine have already been set, it's time for her to officially start!

　　Speaking of "The Blair Witch", there is really nothing to prepare. The main props are a portable video recorder and a DV camera. Fortunately, it is 1996. If it were to be changed a year or two ago, she would have given up such a great publicity stunt as the first DV movie.

　　In addition, a few supporting roles are easy to find, and the standard she told Louise is the word "strange". The stranger the supporting characters, the better, and it is best to make people feel hairy at first glance. Of course, even if they can't reach that level, it's nothing. With appropriate sound effects and shadows, they will always become an indispensable part of horror movies!
