The atmosphere of silence remained like this, and Edison didn't know how to break the silence.
"Do you think I'm beautiful?" Annie suddenly looked up at Edison.
Edison felt like he was going crazy. He obviously couldn't keep up with this woman's thinking.
"Very beautiful, very beautiful! I won't lie to you."
"But they think I'm not pretty enough, they think I'm not sexy enough, so even though I work hard, they always don't choose me because they think I'm not good enough. I've made a film before and it got a good response. I'm not going to lie to you.
, very sensational. But still no one came to me. Those who came to me always asked me to play roles that I didn’t like. I don’t like to play fools.” As she said that, Annie grabbed the bottle again.
"Sometimes I think, maybe I should listen to them and get plastic surgery to make myself look more attractive, or maybe I'm really not suitable to be an actor, maybe I should leave here. But I'm not willing to do it.
I hope to be the protagonist, not the kind of fool-like protagonist, nor the kind of vase-like character who just stands there. I hope to perform, a real performance."
Edison listened to Annie's complaints and did not interrupt her. He just listened quietly, listened to her venting her dissatisfaction, and listened to her crying. In fact, many people are being reasonable in persuading others in life, but this is not the case.
What the parties want to get. Everyone can tell the truth, and everyone knows that what they need is a catharsis, a way to vent their emotions, and find someone who can support and understand themselves. At this time, you just need to listen quietly and listen to him
If so, express your agreement and understanding, and then give one or two words of advice at the appropriate time. When they calm down, they can handle the problem.
After Anne gradually calmed down, Edison spoke.
"Actually, I completely understand your mentality. I'm not saying this to cater to you. You may not know that the NBA is much crueler than you. When you perform well, you are the hero of the city and everyone cheers for you.
, everyone praises you, and the media rushes to interview you. At that moment, you feel that you are a god, omnipotent. But if you do not perform well and lose the game, you are a sinner, and everyone reviles you.
, someone will give you the middle finger and throw a water bottle. The worst situation for you is that no one knows you. You become like an invisible person and disappear from the media such as TV and newspapers. The worst thing in the NBA is not that you are unknown, but that you are unknown.
All the media are still reporting on you and talking about you, but instead of saying good things about you, they are laughing at you. Just talk about Annie, you have castrated a stupid clown. That is just others laughing at you in the film, but players are indeed living their lives.
You become the laughing stock of others, but in reality, it is not acting but real life."
"As for you wanting to play the leading role, I envy you so much. You can still pursue the leading role. If that doesn't work, you can actually become the leading role in a small production. And what about our players? Did you watch the game tonight?
Intense, but they may not be able to enter the NBA if they work so hard. Even if they enter the NBA, it is impossible for everyone to be the protagonist. Even if you are the core of the team on the college campus, you may even be the mvp of a certain division, but
Once you enter the NBA, you are nothing. Everyone is just like you, or even better than you. But there are only 29 teams in the league, and there will be one more team next year. That will only be 30 teams, and only 30 people can be the ace.
, become the core, become the protagonist. And there is only one final championship trophy, and the mvp only belongs to one person. Every year, many young people with dreams enter the league, but in the end they find that they have not played a single game.
After being laid off, those lucky enough to be able to play games in other countries bid farewell to the game and the basketball they have been fighting for for 20 years. Now that you leave here, leave Hollywood, and leave the movie, that is you.
The result of selection, and what about these players? They are forced, even if they are unwilling, they can only leave."….
Speaking of the excitement, Edison also poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down. Then he calmed down his emotions, looked at Anne, and said seriously.
"You don't need to change anything at all, and you don't need to do any plastic surgery. You are beautiful now, and your figure and face are in line with your temperament. You will succeed sooner or later. Everyone's conditions are different, and you may not be the same.
What kind of protagonist should I force myself to be, the female lead? Everyone has their own meaning. Have you seen "The Lion King"? How well it is sung in it, "Find your own position, in this long river of life, in this circle of life"
', I think you are the same. Many people have never played a few leading roles in their lives, but they still left a deep impression on the audience. This is why every movie selection not only has the best leading role, but also the best supporting actor."
After Edison finished speaking, the two of them stopped talking and just ate in silence. The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
After a long time, there were about three lines blank. Edison raised his head and asked Anna, "What are your plans?"
"I don't know. Now I just follow my agent's instructions and go to various places that may bring me exposure opportunities, such as the basketball court."
"I'm referring to your shooting plan. Maybe I can help you with it. Although I don't know much about acting, I know about media, public opinion guidance and publicity. And sometimes this thing is just like a talent competition. Professionals know a lot.
Insider, after half a day of analysis, the result is still wrong, while many laymen can guess right based on their feelings." Edison thought for a moment. Although he didn't care much about the Hollywood entertainment industry in his previous life, he still knew many classic movies, and helped Annie choose those who would
As long as she can successfully appear in those classic films, her popularity will naturally rise.
"This is the first time I've heard of this theory. Let's try it. I have two films released this year, but neither of them is what I want, so I won't talk about it. Now there are many big-budget films being prepared for filming, of course there are many
All the big producers look down on me, but one big production is interested in me, the movie "Fantastic Four" adapted from the comic book..."
"Wait, you said Fantastic Four? They invited you to star in it?"
"Of course it's not a participation, but an audition, an audition for the Invisible Woman."
Edison knew about this movie. Although it had a bad reputation, it had a good box office. The most important thing was that among the few Hollywood female stars he knew, one of them established her status through "Fantastic Four", Jesse
Ca Alba. Objectively speaking, Edison liked Jessica very much, but at this time he could only help his friends.
"Believe me, this will be a very special film, and if you can, you must seize every opportunity to get the role of the Invisible Woman, which will put you on the red carpet."
Annie looked at Edison suspiciously.
"You see, movies adapted from comic books have one characteristic, that is, they have bad reviews, good box office, and a lot of attention. Starting from Spider-Man, Hollywood will usher in a new wave of comic book hero adaptations. This wave will attract everyone's attention.
It cannot be stopped, and whoever takes the lead in this wave will also gain unlimited gains. And I have read the comics of the Fantastic Four, there are 3 men and 1 woman, so no matter how the director adapts it, there will be no
I doubt that the invisible woman will steal the show. I don’t understand it very well, but the highly educated status of the invisible woman matches your temperament very well. As long as you act more sexy, then I believe you will succeed." Edison looked at Anne firmly.
And explained carefully.
People always say that people are full of beauty when they are focused. Edison was very focused now, and could even be said to be absorbed in it. Anne looked at Edison's face, and under the influence of alcohol, her eyes were a little blurred, and she had a feeling for Edison.
A wonderful good feeling. Of course, this is not a bloody novel, and it cannot be directly (omitting 10,000 words here). But this good feeling makes Anne full of trust in Edison, and this trust seems to come from a mutual relationship deep in the heart.
In response, Anne felt that there was nothing wrong with trusting Edison...
"Is there anything else? Let me see how I can help you." As he said this, Edison also noticed the glint in Annie's eyes, but Edison didn't think much about it. Instead, he thought that Annie might be suffering from alcohol and was losing her consciousness.
I started to lose consciousness, so I took out the small notebook I carried with me, tore out a page, and prepared to write down the suggestions for Anne, so that Anne could read it when she was awake.
"There is nothing else. The others are all small low-cost productions. I think there is a problem whether they can be released."
"That's right." Edison quickly searched for some videos in his mind. He felt that these films should have been prepared for filming two years ago, so he began to ask Anne questions, "Then I will tell you some videos. See if you can listen to them."
I told you about the shooting plan and if you have a chance to audition."
"Peter Jackson's "King Kong" and Nolan's "Batman", do you have a chance with these two movies?"
"There is definitely no chance for "King Kong" as it has been filming for a long time. Although "Batman" will start filming this year, Katie Holmes has already been cast as the lead."
"That's it, but don't give up, give it a try. What if Katie can't do it? Nolan is a very interesting director, he is very thoughtful, you can try again. Also, "Brokeback Mountain" is a novel about homosexuality.
It is said that it will be adapted, are you clear?"
"It seems that there is such a thing, but the specific news has not been released yet."
""Brokeback Mountain" is not an Oscar-level work. Now that the copyright is in the hands of James Schamus, then Ang Lee must be the one to shoot this film. It must be like this. The two work well together, and this kind of emotional theme response
In my heart, only Ang Lee can control it. This is the breakthrough." Edison said while recording on paper.
The two had a heated discussion until the pizza shop closed. The two left each other's phone numbers and then prepared to go home.
"By the way, will you go to the NCAA in the next two days?" Edison asked pretending not to care.
"Yes, my agent gave me tickets for three shows, and today is the first one."
"Then let's go see it together tomorrow." Edison looked at Annie eagerly.
"I think it's okay."
The next two days were like a fairy tale for Edison. He had a beautiful woman to accompany him at work, but unfortunately there were only three games in Los Angeles. After the game, Edison had to leave, but the seeds of love had already begun to take root.
March ended quickly, and the NCAA also ended on April 8. Edison returned to the familiar Orlando, but the previous matters about rebuilding the team have been in vain, with no news.
On the evening of April 11, Edison returned home from a day's work and was about to go to bed when he suddenly received a call from Old Pat, telling Edison a piece of bad news.
But everything in this world is relative. What is bad news for you may not be good news for another person.
Naturally, the heroine will appear early. In addition, in the future, I will split the chapters of more than 6,000 words into 2 chapters and upload them, but I will definitely upload them within one day. Everyone knows the reason.
