Hollywood (我就是好莱坞) Part I

Chapter 131 - Oriental aesthetics

 Flipping to Kirsten Dunst resume, Eric saw the photo of a doll-like seven years old exquisite girl, with golden hair, round face, wearing a white dress, with a lovely white sun hat, and a wisp of beautiful golden bangs on her forehead.

It's a pity that Eric knows her beauty will be getting worse and worse in the future, After reaching adulthood, she looked very different from how she looked in her teens.

(TN Note: I don't know what he is talking about, Kirsten Dunst still looks beautiful.)

Perhaps in the eyes of Westerners, she is not too shabby, but with his Oriental aesthetics, he can't see the beauty.

So he chose to pa.s.s on Kirsten Dunst, he didn't make this choice based just on beauty, but because she didn't have much potential as an actress, if it wasn't for her role in 《Spider-Man》, probably no one will remember her.

In his past life, after the end of the 《Spider-Man》 trilogy, Kirsten Dunst career completely plummeted, and she almost disappeared from the public eye.

The other girl he remembered is Sarah Mich.e.l.le Gellar, Compared to the Sarah from his memories, this Sarah had a round face. Although she was almost twelve years old, she looked very pet.i.te, so her playing a ten-year-old girl isn't a problem, he estimated that this is the reason why Sarah was selected.

Compared to Kirsten's who only played in one film, Sarah's resume has a series of movie names, although they aren't famous films, they can still count as having experience.

"Jonathan, what's your impression of the girl?" Eric asked as he handed Sarah Mich.e.l.le Gellarresume to Jonathan Demme.

Jonathan took a look, and quickly recalled the scene of Sarah's interview: "This child began acting in films when she was just four years old, I can guaranty that all the information on this resume is true. When we were doing the interview, I could see that she really know how to act around adults, she was graceful and didn't have stage fright. When I talked to her, she was brilliant and sensible, although the girl looks very thin, she is already twelve years old, and she also has the intelligent of a fourteen years old girl. Compared to kids who are ten years old, working with her will be easier."

Hearing Jonathan's opinion, Eric decided: "Then give her the role, and as usual, she must sign with the UTA (United Talent Agency)."

Although Eric told Kapoor, he didn't want to expand the UTA in the next few years, but he wouldn't let the actors who star in his film projects go that easily to the other brokerage firms.

Because of the article, he wrote a few weeks ago, many brokerage companies are beginning to reform their original systems, although it's impossible for them to completely imitate the CAA.

After the detailed business model of the CAA was completely exposed, the CAA wouldn't be able to maintain their superiority, so in the future, there will be a lot of compet.i.tion among the brokerage firms. As a result, United Talent Agency can make steady progress with ease, there's no need to worry about CAA's dominance.

Watching as Eric continued to flip through the actor's resumes in a fast speed, Jonathan thought that Eric was just haphazardly deciding on who to give the roles to. Because it seemed to him that Eric was just glancing at them and not reading anything, unable to keep quiet, Jonathan Demme asked: "Eric, don't you need to arrange another audition?"

"Do you think I'm too hasty?" Eric asked with a smile on his face

.

Scratching his head, Jonathan said: "Shouldn't you at least look at their auditions tapes, right?"

Putting a circle on the name of an actor with a pen, Eric said: "No, Jonathan, I believe that you personally handpicked these people from thousands of candidates, so you won't added someone who isn't up to par. So I don't need to do anything unnecessary, plus we don't have much time, you have to start shooting as soon as possible, we need to finish the film before the Cannes and Berlin film festival, but I also hope we can catch the Venice Film Festival in September.
