Chatty Hollywood

Tobey Maguire didn't know what Leonardo was thinking about, but looking at his friend, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

He and Leonardo have known each other for seven or eight years.

At first, they met because of an audition. For some unknown reason, the two of them saw each other right and became good friends.

Later, because Leonardo was developing better in the entertainment industry, he tried to help Toby several times, but it was of little use.

Although they worked together in "Boys Life" released last year, even in that, Leonardo's character's name was Toby.

But Toby still hasn't gotten rid of his role as a passerby actor, and may even be further reduced to a situation where he has no role as he grows older.

In sharp contrast, Leonardo's journey has been smooth.

Toby has watched "A Different Sky".

He feels that after this movie, his friend's success is just around the corner.

"At that time, the sky we saw was really different."

Toby muttered to himself.

But even so, he didn't envy or hate his friend because of it. He just felt a little sad after seeing his friend succeed.

"Don't worry, honey, everyone is like this. The success of our good friends is the motivation for our efforts."

When he told his mother about this, her mother, who encouraged him to pursue acting, comforted him like this.

"Maybe I really have to play a bit part for a few more years!"

Now, after failing another audition, Toby could only console himself in this way.

Then he saw a letter.

A letter handed to him by Leonardo.

"What's this?"

"An audition invitation!"

"Give it to me!?"

Toby couldn't believe it.

——When will I also receive audition invitations?

Normally, wouldn’t it be the case that I take the initiative to show up, only to be severely rejected by the director?

"What are you doing standing there? Take it apart and take a look!"

Leonardo's voice finally brought Toby back to his senses.

"right!"

——The key is to see what movie it is first!

——What if it’s from Fernando Valley?

Toby quickly opened the envelope.

"How about it!?"

Leonardo asked.

"Happy Death Day? Have you heard of this movie?"

Toby read the content of the letter. It was good news, so good that he couldn't believe it.

"Their crew wanted to invite me to audition for the male lead."

"That's good news, man!"

Leonardo patted Toby on the back vigorously,

"Being able to take the initiative to invite you to audition means that the film company is very optimistic about you!"

"But……"

Toby hesitated.

"This film——"

"Who is the director?"

Leonardo knew what his friend was worried about, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Charlotte Booth. I've never heard of that name."

"Ah, I know this person!"

Leonardo cried,

"He was the one who filmed "Fatal Turn"."

"That movie!"

Toby's eyes lit up.

"That film was well shot! Especially the magical second brush effect."

In fact, just a few days ago, Toby and Leonardo went to see "Fatal Turn" together. As two young people who have just been able to watch R-rated movies, they are still very interested in horror movies.

"Are you relieved now?"

Leonardo looked at his friend.

"kindness."

Toby's face also became happy,

"Thank you, Leo! I will definitely win it successfully this time.

"

"That's right, this kind of momentum is what you want!"

Leonardo smiled too.

But he was secretly thinking that he should go back and burn the open audition invitation letter in his room, at least not to let Toby know about it in the near future.

"So, Leonardo DiCaprio declined our audition invitation due to scheduling conflicts?"

Being stared at by both Charlotte and his boss, Dill felt extremely stressed for a moment.

"Yes. But Tobey Maguire agreed to our invitation and can come to audition at any time."

In desperation, I had to show off the results of my efforts, hoping that the two bosses could divert their attention.

"That's okay, it's better than none at all."

Charlotte sighed on the surface, but she didn't care too much in her heart——

Originally, the choice of Leonardo DiCaprio was more based on his later reputation. From a purely current perspective, perhaps Tobey Maguire is indeed more suitable.

Now that the other party refuses because of the schedule, he saves himself the trouble.

"Maguire, just Maguire! But we still have to find Sally and let them try out the show."

The producer on the other side, Mr. Westwood, was really helpless.

There was no way, because Charlotte appointed Charlize as the heroine and convinced Jodie Foster, who was the first to take the lead, the choice of the heroine was already confirmed.

In this case, it is natural to go against the norm and cooperate with the heroine to choose a male protagonist who can play well with her.

In particular, "Happy Death Day" is a heroine-led movie.

But fortunately, just looking at the information, the producer feels that Tobey Maguire is quite suitable.

"Hope everything goes well!"

Mr. Westwood prayed secretly in his heart.

Although he experienced the success of "Fatal Turn", he still hasn't developed a big enough heart - well, for a person with existing heart problems, this may be a bit of a luxury.

"Speaking of which, Charlotte, is there any news about the guest stars you asked Jodie Foster to help invite?"

"that!"

Charlotte thought about the phone call Jodie Foster made to him two days ago.

"Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell have both said yes, and, according to Foster, "they both think it's fun."

"That's good!"

Westwood shook his fist,

"At least we have the gimmick for our film. What about the rest?"

"others?"

Charlotte's expression suddenly became strange,

"She also helped us with the cameos of two actors. The gimmicks are enough, but..."

"Just what?"

Seeing that the always straightforward director became hesitant to speak, Mr. Westwood couldn't help but become confused.

"Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder."

Charlotte looked like she was giving up on herself;

“She convinced these two to do guest appearances!”

"What!? Charlotte, are you kidding me!!?"

Mr. Westwood looked in disbelief, but Charlotte in front of him just nodded silently.

"It's true, even though I can't believe it."

"I don't know if this is good news or bad news."

Mr. Producer helplessly covered his forehead, looking like he was about to get sick again.

"If nothing else, Charlotte, do you think our budget is enough?"

"this……"

Charlotte felt that the budget was really a small problem in comparison. After all, for guest appearances, the pay is different from normal. Even if these two are popular, it can still be negotiated.

The trouble is the relationship between these two people.
