Chapter 1918 1920 [The Burning Years]
"Ms. Monica Bellucci, hello, you came on time." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile.
Monica Bellucci deserves to be called the City of Flowers, and she is indeed beautiful. Especially the figure, plump and abnormal. Compared with her, Li Zhi and Ye Zimei are both stunted.
It's just that Hollywood has never lacked beautiful women. Not to mention anything else, those supermodels just want to have a front and a back, and they all have perfect bodies.
But even for these supermodels, it is not an easy task to enter Hollywood.
For example, Cindy Crawford, who was supported by Xiang Nan before, can also play some vase roles. After Xiang Nan dumped her, it was difficult for her to get the role of vase again.
Monica Bellucci is not considered a supermodel, so it is naturally more difficult to find opportunities in Hollywood. Therefore, when she received Xiang Nande's invitation, she was so excited that she even stayed up all night and waited here early.
"Hello, Mr. Charles." Monica said a little nervously.
After all, in front of her is the boss of Universal Pictures, one of the most powerful people in Hollywood.
"Don't be cautious, I came to see you today, just to ask you to act in a movie." Xiang Nan waved his hand with a smile.
"Hey~" Hearing what he said, Monica hiccupped nervously. After that, she hiccupped non-stop as if she was sick.
吃~吃~咒~ It made her feel awkward and embarrassing, and the more this happened, the more her hiccups couldn't stop.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Charles." She blushed with embarrassment. She had never been so ashamed since she was a child. She felt that there was a crack in the ground and she wanted to get in.
"It's okay, give me your right hand." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Monica was taken aback for a moment, but still passed her hand over.
Xiang Nan then pressed the tip of her middle finger.
Monica suddenly felt a burst of pain, but she didn't dare to cry out, and she didn't dare to withdraw her hand, so she could only let Xiang Nan press it.
"How is it, are you still hiccupping?" After a while, Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
Monica regained her composure, and suddenly found that she did not hiccup anymore.
"Huh?!" This surprised her, "Mr. Charles, how did you do it? It's amazing."
"This is a little life trick, from the wisdom of the East." Xiang Nan laughed, "I can use this method to hiccup in the future."
"Okay." Monica nodded.
…
"Okay, let's talk about this movie~" In order to avoid her further embarrassment, Xiang Nan hurriedly got back to the topic, "This is a story that happened in the 20s, on a farm in the western United States..."
Xiang Nan told the story of "The Burning Years". Simply put, this is the story of three brothers who fall in love with the same woman.
But the focus of the story is not the jealousy and jealousy of the three brothers, but the natural and profound feelings between father and son, brothers, and lovers without words.
This is a very touching story, which brought tears to her eyes.
"Mr. Charles, this is really a good story. Did you write it yourself?" She asked curiously.
"That's not true, the script was written by William Witliff." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "But it was invested by me. And I'm going to invite Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, John Stars like Neil Depp are coming to this movie."
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Monica Bellucci's eyes lit up.
Anthony Hopkins is now the hottest Mesozoic actor in Hollywood after being an Oscar nominee with "The Silence of the Lambs", a model of drama.
Brad Pitt, with films such as "The Love Is Still Here", "Thelma & Louise", and "Ghostbusters 3", is now becoming famous in Hollywood and is a promising newcomer.
Moreover, he is really handsome, and has been ranked among the most handsome men in the world selected by "People" magazine many times, among the best.
Johnny Depp is also a big star, starring in movies such as "Edward Scissorhands", "Dead Poets Society", "Emergency Follow-up Order", etc., which are well received and well received.
Moreover, he himself is a handsome guy. That melancholy Gothic temperament makes women easily attracted to him at first sight, wanting to fall into the boundless darkness with him.
Monica was naturally excited to be able to cooperate with these people.
"Mr. Charles, can I really work with these stars?" She asked in trepidation. Before that, she had never even dared to think about it.
"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "I think you are very suitable. But whether you can win this role or not depends on the director's intention. Although I am a producer, I don't want to interfere too much with the director's choice."
"I understand." Monica nodded immediately and said, "Mr. Charles, can you give me a copy of the script, I will try to figure out the role and try to win the approval of the director."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded, and then handed the script to Monica, "You can think about it yourself first, and call me if you don't understand."
"That's so embarrassing." Hearing what he said, Monica was a little flattered.
She has no relatives and reasons with Xiang Nan, and she didn't even know each other before, so how could she bother him so rashly? Even she wondered why Xiang Nan chose her? Is it just because she is pretty?
"It's okay, I've always liked to help people." Xiang Nan smiled, "Also, I have a good relationship with director Francis Coppola. I work very hard and work hard, so I recommend you to me.
You don't have to be too cautious, just ask for advice. Our biggest goal is to hope that this drama will be good. After all, I'm investing $20 million, and I don't want it to blow up. "
"You're right." Monica nodded.
…
In the next few days, while preparing for "Speed 3", Xiang Nan helped Monica figure out the role, striving to win the heroine of "The Burning Years".
But in fact, he has already decided to play the heroine by Winona Ryder. On the one hand, Winona Ryder has better acting skills and higher popularity; on the other hand, Monica Bellucci's own image is not suitable for the leading actress.
Because the heroine in "The Years of Love" is fragile, sensitive, and passionate. She is the fiancée of the eldest brother, but she fell in love with the second brother at first sight, and finally married the third brother. Later, because her second brother returned to the farm, she couldn't bear the pain of reality and emotion and chose to commit suicide.
Such a role is suitable for the petite and lovely Winona Ryder. She also played such a love-hate role in "Four Hundred Years of Surprise".
And Monica Bellucci's body is too plump, such an external image, it is difficult to show the fragility and sensitivity of a woman. It's like asking Ji Chunhua to play a positive role, no matter how good his acting skills are, the audience will still play.
No way, in many cases, external image is more important than acting skills.
