Entertainment: Banned for Five Years, Became the Godfather of Hollywood

Chapter 19: A Secret Meeting with Emma St1



The film "La La Land" takes place in Los Santos where Chu Xuan is located.

The city is also known as the "City of Stars".

The story tells that Mia, who dreams of becoming an actress, is depressed and frustrated with auditions.

She accidentally meets Seb, a pianist with jazz dreams, and the two fall in love with each other and encourage each other since the spring.

But the pressure of life and dreams also gradually caused the two to have differences.

Eventually they decided to let go and let each other chase their dreams.

It may not be so good at first watching the movie, and it may even make you want to laugh.

But anyone who has had similar experiences and regrets watching this film will have long since burst into tears without realizing it.

In order to achieve such an effect, Chu Xuan has already finalized the original male protagonist Ryan Gosling.

Originally there was an alternative, Adrien Brody, the male protagonist of the films "The Pianist", "Transcendence" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel".

It doesn't seem necessary now. "Commander High" has a slightly melancholy soulful look, which can perfectly perform the role of Sebastian.

But now there is a problem with the heroine.

The casting director contacted Emma Stone's agent and was told that Sister Stone had a schedule conflict.

"Schedule conflict?" Chu Xuan's expression was complicated when he heard the news.

Sister Stone's influence in the parallel universe is not even as good as in her previous life.

In her previous life, she also won the "The Amazing Spider-Man" heroine, the best supporting actress in "Birdman", and the best actress award in "Zombieland".

In the parallel world, she only starred in a few youth love movies, and they were all female supporting roles.

Sister Stone's appearance is actually not as good as many Hollywood actresses. Her biggest feature is her fair complexion.

Coupled with her background in comedy, she often plays a straight-hearted and carefree girl, which has given her some popularity.

But Emma Stone has been lingering in second-tier actresses for so many years, unable to rank among the top-tier actresses in Hollywood, that is, she lacks a heroine in a popular movie.

According to paparazzi revelations and media entertainment gossip, Emma Stone has no plans for a new film recently.

She only has one weekend entertainment live variety show, and is not a resident guest yet.

Facing the heroine of the movie, she has no reason to refuse.

Unless the broker gets in the way?

Chu Xuan originally considered giving up on her, but Hollywood actresses grabbed a lot.

As the most popular "genius director of Chinese descent", there are many people who want to come in and be the heroine.

Such as "The Notebook", "Doctor Strange" heroine Rachel McAdams;

Or Anne Hathaway, who sang and danced on Broadway in Les Miserables.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" actress Keira Knightley, her singing skills are also very good.

Chu Xuan still intends to give it a final try and contact Sister Stone in person.

It's really impossible to find someone else.

After getting the phone number from the casting director, Chu Xuan dialed it directly.

After a few moments of ringing, the phone was connected there.

"Hello, may I ask who you are..." The other party seemed to lower the volume deliberately.

"Hello, Miss Stone, I'm Chu Xuan, the director of "Ghost Records", and I want to talk to you about the new film."

Unexpectedly, Emma Stone whispered: "Well, if it is convenient for you, see you at the cafe across the Avenue of Stars in half an hour."

...

Chu Xuan just came to the cafe, but saw someone beckoning to him in the innermost booth.

She wears big sunglasses, the peaked cap is very low, and her skin is a little too white.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, please make a trip."

"Since you are willing to come out, are you still more interested in this film?"

"Yes. I went to see "Ghost Records". It's a very interesting film. I have become your fan."

Unexpectedly, when Emma Stone talked about the details of horror films, she was quite excited.

After chatting nonstop for a while about "Ghost Records", she noticed that she was a little off topic.

"Oops...it's a little over-excited when it comes to horror movies."

Sister Stone herself really has a funny temperament.

But Chu Xuan also likes to deal with such girls.

"Hahaha, I'm also very happy that you like this film. Why did you refuse the heroine of the new film?"

Sister Stone said with a wry smile: "I originally intended to act, but the agency didn't allow it."

"they said……"

"It's okay, I won't mind." Chu Xuan said indifferently.

"They said that your new film is likely to hit the street. Playing the heroine can easily ruin your reputation."

Sister Stone was embarrassed.

Chu Xuan didn't care about this, he asked instead, "What about you? What do you think?"

"Can I read the script first?" Emma Stone was a little cautious.

"No problem." Chu Xuan understood.

After all, actors are also risky. In case the film is broken, it may affect her career.

There's nothing wrong with being careful.

Chu Xuan took out the printed "La La Land" script and let her read it on the spot.

Sister Stone took the script with both hands and read it carefully.

Chu Xuan was not in a hurry and sat quietly in a chair drinking coffee.

After a while, Emma Stone roughly finished reading the script, took a deep breath and said:

"The sixth sense tells me that I will regret missing this heroine role."

Just glanced at the synopsis of the plot, and Sister Stone felt that the story seemed to be tailor-made for her.

She couldn't help but recall the days when she used to audition for a trick.

There is something about chasing a dream that resonates in everyone.

She has a hunch that this movie is definitely not easy!

What a genius director!

Chu Xuan nodded: "In that case, trust your intuition."

"I understand. I'll talk to the broker when I go back, the big deal... Just change the brokerage firm."

Sister Stone smiled freely.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

The male and female protagonists are finalized, and the other roles are handled by the casting director.

Chu Xuan's new film "La La Land" will start shooting soon!

...

After discussing some details of the new film with Chu Xuan, Emma Stone, wearing sunglasses, took advantage of the opportunity to go shopping for a day.

He didn't sneak back to his apartment until night.

She just turned on the light when she entered the door, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a person sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Suddenly she was terrified.

"What_the_Fu... It's you, it scared me."

It turned out that on the sofa was her female agent, a shrewd middle-aged woman with short hair.

"There was an advertisement today, but I couldn't get through if I called you. The sponsor gave up on you and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in vain."

"A loss is a loss, am I short of this money?" Emma Stone said nonchalantly.

"No." The female agent was serious.

"You haven't had a film appointment for nearly a year, and the scripts given to you are always picky..."

"It's not because the script is so bad."

Sister Stone rolled her eyes, went to the refrigerator and found a can of beer, took two sips, and burped happily.

"Look at you, you don't look like a female star. Tell me honestly, where did you go today?"

"You're not my mother, what do you care?"

"I'm your agent and have the right to be responsible for your career... going on a date?"

"No, I went to see the director. I agree to appear in his new film."

"Could it be the Chinese director?"

From the agent's point of view, this is even scarier than dating.

"Otherwise, in the past year, only his script has caught my eye."

Emma Stone remembered the story of "La La Land" and couldn't help but ignite a fire in her heart.

"He made a musical!"

"What's wrong with musicals? Chinese directors can't make musicals?"

"But……"

"No need, but I've made up my mind. Let's push the other announcements and make the film's schedule vacant."

Emma Stone stands firm.

For the first time, the agent seemed to see Sister Stone with such a strong opinion.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and she could see the persistence in Sister Stone's eyes.

"Okay, I hope you don't regret it."

"Don't worry, absolutely not."

As a movie fan, Emma Stone has an inexplicable confidence in Chu Xuan. *
