Hollywood legendary director

After the crew got on the right track, Thomas watched and Lehmann was also relieved.

In this way, he can put all his energy on finding actors.

But for a while, I don't know who is right.

In particular, the candidate of "Maggie", the absolute heroine, needs to be carefully considered.

Eva has read the script. As an actor, she really wanted to challenge herself, but Lyman refused.

Let’s not say that she has recently received several commercials and mv commercials under the operation of Johnson. The schedule will be very tight, and he wants to allow actors to fully take on the role, to gain muscle and become a lightweight player. Female boxer of the match.

To this end, he also invited several professional boxing coaches to form a training team to specialize in this direction.

"Million Dollar Baby" is not too expensive, but the requirements for actors are still quite high.

Even if Eva can endure hardship, her acting foundation is still a bit tender. She is far from the female fairy of later generations, and can easily control various roles.

The most important thing is that the appearance is not suitable, too beautiful, and it will feel contrary to the audience.

Early the next morning, Lyman conceived the sub-shots of the script in his office, and Johnson came over with the files.

"These are some of the actors' profile that I have designated."

"Well, let's put it here first."

After finishing this part of the shot creation, he picked up the materials and looked at it.

The above are naturally some suitable actors selected by Johnson for the heroine "Maggie". As the agent of CAA, as long as he is given some criteria for casting, he can give him several good plans.

Of course, these girls are not well-known, and most of them are recognized by people in the industry.

Actresses who are willing to gain muscle, fitness, boxing training, and the salary is not too high, there are really no big stars who are willing to come and try.

"Well, the looks are too sweet, no... this is not bad, the temperament is pretty good..." Lehman flipped through the information of these actresses page by page, some were eliminated directly, some entered The second round of trial training.

"Okay, just these few, let them know some time to come and try."

After Lehman circled it, he said to Johnson.

Seeing him nodding and leaving with the file, Lyman was immersed in the world of movie scripts again.

......

At eight o'clock in the evening, in a community apartment building in Los Angeles.

Hilary Swank ended the day's toil, dragging her tired body back home.

There is only one mother in the family. She is sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Pizza, vegetable salad and other food are also on the table.

"You are back." Mother stood up, helped her take off her coat, and gave her a hug.

"You can eat first without waiting for me."

Whenever she said this, her mother just smiled, but she still didn't change.

Come to think of it, this scene has been repeated countless times.

Since her parents divorced when she was 15 years old, she and her mother have been relying on each other to keep warm.

"How is it today, is it going well?"

At the dinner table, the mother asked with some concern.

"No, I went to audition for the roles that York said, but I was brushed off in the first round." Hilary Swank lowered her head and said dullly.

Mother smiled helplessly, "It doesn't matter, there is always a chance."

"Ok."

After eating and taking a shower, Hilary was lying on the bed in her pajamas, feeling a little sad inexplicably.

She originally thought that being an actor would lead a good life, just as glamorous as the newspaper said in the movie, but in fact, any industry has a bottom, a dark bottom. Unfortunately, she is one of them.

She had never been successful. When she was 16 years old, she dropped out of high school and followed her mother to Los Angeles to seek the development of the show business. At that time, they lived in the car and lived in the car. The expensive rent was like a fence, which firmly isolated them. .

Later, my mother got a job, and she also appeared in some TV series.

Life is getting better, at least, renting a house, no longer wandering.

In 1999, it was her luckiest day. She was nominated for Best Actress Oscar for her performance in "Boys Don't Cry" and won.

But this award didn’t bring her anything. Her remuneration was still a pitiful tens of thousands of dollars. (Sometimes she received a drama in one or two years. One can imagine how bad her living conditions are, let alone Still in Los Angeles, where the rich get together, the standard of living is already high).

Although she won the respect of people, the cost of a bad cold was enough to drain her savings.

Sometimes, she also wondered if she should quit.

So many years of acting as an actor has taught her a lot, but there is one cruelest fact before her: if an actress wants to make a world of Hollywood, her impressive looks seem to be more important than her acting skills.

Mother is also old, and she has to go out to work every day...

The more I thought about it, the worse I felt, and Hilary Swank decided to talk to her mother.

"Let's go back to our hometown. We have saved some money over the years, so we can go back and start a small business."

"Why do you think this way?" My mother was a little puzzled. "Didn't you say that many directors praise you for being talented? You have won awards. If you don't continue to be an actor, why should you return to your hometown and choose to give up?"

"I'm 30 years old this year, mom." With these words, Hilary Swank could no longer bear the pressure that life has always brought her, and broke down and cried.

What is the use of such a day?

She didn't even dare to have an illness or talk about love. She was already 30.

Mother hugged her, somewhat silent.

After a long time, it seemed that it was enough to vent his emotions, and Hilary Swank became strong again.

When I was about to go back to my room to rest, my phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, Hillary, are you there?"

It was from agent York.

"Is there a problem?"

"Of course there is something, a great happy event, we have a chance."

On the other end of the phone, York was so happy that he didn't know how to express it, and kept repeating words like seizing opportunities.

"What opportunity?" Hilary Swank continued to ask.

"The new play directed by Lyman Last, his agent just called and asked me to inform you that he will go to Firefly Pictures for a trial at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

"Is it really him?" Hilary Swank couldn't believe it.

"It's true." York emphasized: "It's the audition for the heroine of "Million Dollar Baby". Do you know, the heroine is still playing against a director like Clint Eastwood? Eastwood, you know what I'm talking about, right."

"I know, I know." Hilary Swank only felt that the heart began to beat frantically. What does it mean for the two directors' plays?Without repeated emphasis by her agent, she also knew that this was a golden opportunity for her.
