Capítulo 419: Chapter 419: Benefits of a Deep Foundation
"Disney invited me to play the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland, starting next month. Since it's a mix of live-action CG and animation, shooting shouldn't take too long," said Anne Hathaway, sitting on the balcony of the Long Beach villa with Charles Capet, enjoying the view of the Pacific Ocean.
"The main time investment for the film should be in special effects production," Charles was interested in this Alice in Wonderland because this marked Disney's beginning in adapting animated stories into live-action films.
Disney had adapted many fairy tale animations, and they could directly turn these animations into live-action films in the future.
Compared to other movie companies that adapted fairy tales into films, Disney had the upper hand with the copyrights of the original animations; it absolutely started at the winning line.
"I don't know if Tim Burton's style will suit this genre," Anne Hathaway was a bit worried, but she was just a supporting actress!
'Alice in Wonderland was already a well-known fairy tale, and Disney had an early animation version. This time, with a $200 million budget to adapt it again in live action, it could attract a lot of attention,' Charles thought about the future live-action adaptations like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, and Aladdin by Disney, feeling excited.
What is having a deep foundation? This is it!
The six major studios had many story copyrights in their libraries. Remakes, reboots, adaptations - they would always find projects that suited them.
"Charles, I have two scripts. Can you help me decide which one I should choose?" Anne Hathaway said, handing over two scripts.
Charles smiled, "So you want me to be your advisor, huh?"
Anne Hathaway hugged Charles' neck and kissed him several times on the face, "Help me out, your taste is widely recognized!"
Charles squeezed her waist a few times. No wonder she was so active last night - it made sense now.
Taking the two scripts, Charles quickly skimmed through them.
Julie & Julia, the lead character is Meryl Streep. It was adapted from Julie Powell's novel Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously, and Julia Child's book My Life in France;
The plot follows an American woman, Julia Child, who had lived in France and wrote a cookbook. A later-generation American girl, Julie Powell, attempts every recipe from the book and blogs about it, attracting many fans and eventually understanding the meaning of life through the process.
Love & Other Drugs, the movie tells the story of a female lead with Parkinson's disease who wanted to live a carefree life before her condition deteriorated. Then she meets a Viagra salesman, and a comedic romantic story ensues with many hilarious moments; This was a highly mature romantic comedy!
"Love & Other Drugs has a lot of explicit scenes and love scenes, and the story is quite cliched. Julie & Julia working with Meryl Streep is kind of like The Devil Wears Prada!"
Charles definitely saw potential in Julie & Julia, combining commercial success and art.
"Julie & Julia also has Stanley Tucci. I think director Nora Ephron wants to reunite The Devil Wears Prada cast," Anne Hathaway explained.
Stanley Tucci, the bald director from The Devil Wears Prada!
"Love & Other Drugs is very bold. What do you think?" Anne Hathaway seemed to want to try that kind of role.
"This boldness is just to attract attention through sex," Charles shook his head, "Better choose Julie & Julia. Besides Meryl Streep's great eye for roles, though she shines the most, as long as you perform well, it won't be bad for you!"
Anne Hathaway nodded, laughing, "If it's as successful as The Devil Wears Prada, I'd definitely be willing to follow Meryl Streep!"
Because whether it was The Devil Wears Prada or Julie & Julia, even though Anne Hathaway had a significant role and it was a dual female lead, if it came to award nominations, Meryl Streep would definitely be the one nominated for Best Actress.
Anne Hathaway, who rose to fame via chick flicks, really wanted to prove herself with awards!
"Alright, learning from actors like Meryl Streep is beneficial for you. The Oscars do have a bias against pretty actresses," Charles said, standing up. "Nicole Kidman in The Hours and Charlize Theron in Monster are good examples, aren't they?"
"Well, Nicole Kidman's look in The Hours was acceptable, but Charlize Theron's transformation in Monster was a bit too much," Anne Hathaway shared a common thought among many Hollywood actresses.
Charles hugged Anne Hathaway from behind, standing with her on the balcony, letting the sea breeze blow. Kissing her ear, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, you're still young with plenty of opportunities. Winning awards takes time. You need to ensure commercial success first to stay in the spotlight. Look at Nicole Kidman - the label of 'box office poison' is firmly stuck on her now."
Anne Hathaway nodded. She was indeed only 26 years old, and she had many more chances and a long career ahead of her.
Then Anne Hathaway tilted her head up and started kissing Charles.
The few buttons of Anne Hathaway's white shirt were already unfastened, and Charles' large hand slid inside. Anne Hathaway gasped slightly, "Then I'll take Julie & Julia!"
"Of course. As for Love & Other Drugs, my woman shouldn't be exposing herself too much to the audience," Charles said with a smile.
"It's just a movie - it's art!" Anne Hathaway also smiled, "I had some explicit scenes in Havoc too."
Charles stayed silent. He turned the woman around and kissed her fully. Now that Harvey Weinstein was out of Hollywood, Anne Hathaway shouldn't be oppressed anymore.
But who knows if Jennifer Lawrence could still rise without Harvey Weinstein in the future?
For Jennifer Lawrence, trying to make it big wasn't possible. In Hollywood, opportunities were more important than talent.
