"Then, let's find a place to have a cup of coffee first, and then we can discuss it from now on?" Evelyn asked hesitantly, her tone less crying and more unknown emotions.

Charlotte gave her an approving look.

"Cut." Li Shuo reacted in time and called out for a stop accurately, waving at the two of them. "You should come to the monitor and take a look. I think the effect of this scene is very good. Sigourney's high-level performance is as usual, and Nicole's performance is also surprising."

"We don't even need to see it to know that this girl's performance is superb." The second after the director shouted "Cut", Sigourney immediately took a tissue to wipe away her tears. Although her eyes were still red, her expression instantly returned to her original smiling state. "She has a great acting talent, Lee. I think she is the most suitable candidate for Charlotte."

Sigourney's tone was sincere and Li Shuo exchanged glances with her and they smiled at each other.

To say that Su Lingxi's performance is as superb as that of an Oscar-winning actress is obviously a bit of an exaggeration, but as a third person watching the scene, Li Shuo can feel the equal momentum of Su Lingxi and Sigourney when they are acting against each other - although she is just a "newcomer" in Hollywood, she is not suppressed by Sigourney's aura at all, but instead performs the brilliance and charm of Charlotte's role with natural and smooth acting skills.

More importantly, Li Shuo could feel that Su Lingxi was very familiar with Sigourney's acting style. Perhaps it was because she had studied her works privately, or perhaps for some other reason, the final effect was that the two of them had a great understanding when acting opposite each other - it was clearly their first time working together, but some of the small movements were very consistent, as if the two were really close friends who had known each other for many years.

Li Shuo is convinced that among actresses of the same age, it would be hard for him to find another partner more suitable for Sigourney than Nicole.

From the beginning of the project, the focus of the film "Evelyn & Charlotte" has been on the two heroines.

As a director, the reason why Li Shuo took the trouble to organize and shoot this film is because he wanted to focus on telling a story about women, and among them, the same-sex friendship between Charlotte and Evelyn will also be the focus of his filming.

Therefore, the choice of the two heroines is crucial to the film.

Seeing that Li Shuo fell into deep thought after just a few words, Sigourney spread her hands helplessly and raised her voice, "Li, are you listening?"

"You know, I'm a person who relies a lot on feelings. When I act with her, I can feel the sparks between us. If we can make good use of this, it can add soul, dramatic tension... and more unknown chemical reactions to our performance."

"How is it? Are the reasons I gave enough for you to choose to use her?"

Sigourney's tone and expression when talking to Li Shuo were very relaxed. It is not difficult to see that the two have a good personal relationship.

"Are you giving me advice as one of the investment producers?" Li Shuo asked thoughtfully.

"Of course, don't forget that I am both your investor and the heroine you personally selected." Sigourney said confidently, "Li, you have the responsibility to seriously consider my suggestions--"

"I remember that twenty minutes ago someone wanted me to call and invite Lillian to perform?" Li Shuo joked with a smile.

"Oh, don't mention it, it was just a joke." Sigourney pouted and blurted out, "Lillian has chosen "Taken", and it's only a matter of time before she joins the crew - don't tell me you don't know this secret known to everyone."

The Lillian they mentioned should be Lillian Davis, who won the American Teen Choice Award for two consecutive years last year and the year before, and is a youth idol who has been very popular in North America in the past two years.

Winning the award for two consecutive years is enough to prove her strong box office appeal among young people.

Therefore, even though Lillian has only starred in one youth film and two romance films so far, it does not affect her entry into the B-list.

Of course, the status of this kind of youth idol is not worth mentioning in the eyes of some professionals in the industry, just like Sigourney and Li Shuo - Su Lingxi could vaguely see that they did not recognize the acting skills of Miss Lillian.

Just like the contempt chain in the domestic film industry, Hollywood also has its own biological contempt chain. If we really compare them, although youth idols seem to be famous, in the eyes of mainstream people in the industry, their value is far less than that of the European three film queens.

Even if their fame can bring outside attention and a portion of box office, it is often difficult to make up for their shortcomings in acting - no matter how decadent the three major European film festivals are, or how they entertain themselves by using connections to win awards, at least their professionalism is up to standard, and they will not really give the awards to actors with "poor acting skills".

"She chose Mark. Well, it's a completely expected choice." Li Shuo pulled a chair and sat down. "Now, Miss Su, let's talk about the performance contract, okay?"

Su Lingxi's originally chaotic mood instantly returned to a clear state because of these words. She was so happy that her cheeks flushed slightly. She couldn't help but ask in confirmation: "Director Li, you mean... are you sure you want to use me?"

"Can I really play Charlotte?!"

After spending a whole day, the actress was finally chosen. Li Shuo felt that his fatigue was reduced a lot. He smiled and shook Su Lingxi's hand. "Congratulations, Miss Su. Your wonderful performance has just won you your first performance contract in Hollywood."

In just 30 minutes, Su Lingxi was praised successively by Hollywood directors and Oscar-winning actresses. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment. She just felt that even her steps were floating with praise and she couldn't get down to business.

She must be blushing terribly right now, she thought.

Even so, Su Lingxi did not forget to thank Li Shuo and Sigourney, and bowed to them.

"Li, is this the social etiquette commonly used in your country? How cute." Sigourney couldn't help but smile and asked with great interest, "To be honest, her English is even more authentic than yours. I almost forgot that she is Chinese like you."
