Chapter 1941 1943 [Angelina Jolie]
"Charles, I heard that you are auditioning for a heroine in "Daredevil". If you are interested, I can recommend one."
"Charles, my niece is very good at acting, and has studied ballet, and she is also very popular. Can you consider her in "Daredevil"?"
"Charles, the heroine of Daredevil, can you consider my goddaughter. She is very interested in this movie and has been a comic fan of Daredevil since she was a child."
At the party, many people expressed their interest in the Daredevil project.
On the one hand, Daredevil is considered to be the most well-known work among the many superheroes of Marvel, and has a very broad mass base in the United States.
On the one hand, Xiang Nan personally wrote the screenplay for this movie, and his screenwriting skills are obvious to all, so everyone has confidence in this movie.
So everyone is very willing to participate in this movie.
Xiang Nan was naturally very grateful for everyone's self-recommendations. However, he has already finalized the heroine of "Super Daredevil", which is Dennis Richards beside him.
Dennis Richards has a pretty face and a good figure, and he can be regarded as a top-notch beauty. And she was a school cheerleader in middle school, and she is also very talented in sports.
After all, to be a cheerleader is not only about being beautiful and in good shape, but also being able to perform all kinds of difficult cheering moves, which is no worse than being a dancer.
With such a suitable candidate, Xiang Nan doesn't have to consider other people at all. Unless, that person's quality in all aspects is better than Dennis Richards, but that is basically impossible.
…
But Xiang Nan was slapped in the face very soon. It turned out that Jon Voight, who had worked with him before, recommended his daughter, Angelina Jolie, to Xiang Nan to act in this play.
When Xiang Nan heard her name, he was ready to change his mind.
Dennis Richards is indeed in good condition, but there is no doubt that Angelina Jolie is more suitable for the role of Erica.
On the one hand, Angelina Jolie is as good as Dennis Richards in terms of body and appearance, especially her wild temperament, which is more conquering for men;
On the one hand, Angelina Jolie's acting skills are much better than Dennis Richards. Dennis Richards has been out for so many years, and he has basically played vase roles.
But Julie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Regardless of commercial blockbusters or literary themes, she is competent. Although superhero movies do not require actors to have high acting skills, if the actors have excellent acting skills, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the quality of the characters.
So Xiang Nan agreed to Jon Voight's request, and let Angelina Jolie come to audition first. In fact, Angelina Jolie has been decided privately.
As for Dennis Richards, Xiang Nan plans to arrange for her to appear in "Vapor Secret Order". The same is the heroine, I believe she will not be wronged.
…
Subsequently, Angelina Jolie came to audition.
She is 21 years old this year, and like Dennis Richards, she debuted as a model in **. After that, he began to act in film and television dramas.
Starred in several movies, such as "The Terminator", "Hacker", "No Evidence to Follow" and so on, but none of them caused any splash.
This is not surprising. The 1990s was the most prosperous and prosperous period in Hollywood, with numerous stars and fierce competition. Although Angelina Jolie is excellent, she is a fledgling and her acting skills are relatively young, so it is normal for her not to be outstanding.
However, Xiang Nan still took a fancy to her potential and decided to use her as the heroine of "Daredevil".
"My father?!" Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Julie was taken aback, "My father recommended me to you?"
"Not bad." Xiang Nan nodded, otherwise, he wouldn't have noticed Julie.
After all, there are so many newcomers in Hollywood, with beautiful looks and good figures, and actresses with backgrounds and financial backers abound. It is impossible for him to know all of them.
"Then I refuse to play this role." Julie said firmly when she heard this.
"Why is that?" Xiang Nan asked a little puzzled.
I don’t know how many people want to play this role. Since the news of the audition came out, no less than a thousand resumes had been received. Now, such a good opportunity was given to her, but she refused, which really puzzled Xiang Nan.
"I don't want to accept his help." Julie explained, then turned to leave.
Xiang Nan was taken aback for a moment, and soon realized that it must be because Julie and her father had a bad relationship, so she didn't want to accept the other party's help.
"You misunderstood. The reason why I chose you was not because of your father's recommendation." He said immediately, "To be honest, although I have worked with your father before, your father is not that old in front of me." face."
Hearing what he said, Julie stopped and turned around.
"The reason why I chose you is because of your own quality." Xiang Nan said again, "Your appearance, temperament, and acting skills are very suitable for the role of Erica, and I think you know this too.
And I personally wrote the screenplay of "Daredevil", and I can say responsibly that this movie will definitely be a hit. It's okay if you don't want to act, I still have a lot of people to choose from.
But how long do you have to wait before receiving this kind of blockbuster, and how much time do you have to waste? You can be willful and reject this drama for a while, anyway, you will be the one who loses in the end. "
Hearing what Xiang Nan said, Julie blinked, and finally nodded.
Xiang Nan is right. It is not easy for an actress like her to get a chance to star in a blockbuster.
Because there are only ten or twenty blockbuster movies produced by Hollywood every year. Even middling productions don't make more than fifty.
Most of the movies are invested in hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Even so, there are many actors fighting for such a low-cost movie.
After all, there are too many monks in Hollywood, and there are many beauties everywhere. Even Jennifer Connelly, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Brooke Shields are not taken seriously. Which onion is Julie?
It is really not worth losing such a good opportunity in order to fight for a moment of loyalty.
…
Seeing that she agreed, Xiang Nan nodded and asked her to formally sign the contract.
"Behave well, I like you." He smiled and said to Julie.
Julie smiled at him.
Having seen so many men, this is the first time she has seen a man like Xiang Nan.
She dropped out of school when she was twelve or thirteen years old, rented a garage with her boyfriend, and fooled around in it all day. Most of the men I have met are irresponsible. If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and you will worry about tomorrow.
She really doesn't see a man like Xiang Nan who has a successful career, is in control of power, and is steady and down-to-earth, so she immediately aroused her interest.
