She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

"What's wrong?" Kelly, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Su Lingxi through the rearview mirror. "Why do you look a little... depressed? You don't look like the biggest winner of the night at all."

"Nothing." Su Lingxi shook her head, "I just remembered Director McNeill's suggestion again."

"Really? What did he say that has made you still remember it?" Kelly asked suspiciously.

Although she also accompanied Su Lingxi to the after party, they were not always together - unfortunately, Kelly was not there when Joseph McNeill came over to talk.

"It's just some ideas about the new movie." Yan Xi said briefly, "Director McNeill intends to invite Nicole to be his next leading lady. He thinks Nicole's fighting skills are great and she will be very suitable for commercial action movies."

As someone who also travels around the country and abroad for business all year round, Yang Qian's English level is no less than Su Lingxi's, and she can use all kinds of professional terms with ease.

"Are you talking about Joseph McNeill?" Kelly thought for a moment and spoke hesitantly, "But... he is not a famous director like Martin Kubrick. As far as I know, he has only shot two commercials and Underworld 2 since he entered the industry."

Obviously, Kelly and Su Lingxi have almost the same concerns on this matter - Joseph McNeill is 2 years old and has been in the industry for nearly five years, but the only works he can show off are two promotional videos for MLB and Coca-Cola, plus a box office hit but poorly received "Underworld ".

The main reason why "Underworld 2" is so popular at the box office is not because of Joseph, but because it is the sequel to "Underworld" - as long as the big IP series is not too bad, it can basically avoid the possibility of failure.

"I've already seen those two commercials." Yang Qian paused, and then raised her voice slightly. "And Underworld 2, I just took the time to watch a few clips. The fighting scenes are very exciting, the rhythm is tight, and the picture composition is aesthetically pleasing. The director's level should be at least above the passing line."

“Just passing?” Kelly snorted, looking a little surprised. “Okay, I think I understand why Nicole looks so upset.”

Yang Qian sighed: "Hollywood does have many excellent commercial film directors, but most of them have their own favorites, right? Those good resources are not available to us at all."

"McNeill's level is enough to make a qualified commercial genre film. What's more, the script he gave is very good, a rare chick-flick in Hollywood. We have no reason to reject him."

Yang Qian's words were realistic and cruel, like a bucket of cold water poured over Su Lingxi's head, completely waking her up and allowing her emotions, which had been fluctuating due to winning the award, to return to their usual calm.

The title of Cannes Best Actress is unparalleled in the field of art films, and it also represents her artistry as an actor recognized by professionals.

But actors need not only recognition from the industry, but also recognition from the market.

In the film market, commercial films are the mainstream that are recognized by the audience. This not only means that commercial films make more money than art films, but also means that commercial film directors will pay more attention to an actor's market recognition when selecting actors.

Simply put, it is box office appeal or box office performance.

As luck would have it, the two foreign language films that Su Lingxi has acted in so far are both art films, and their box office performance is not good enough compared to other Hollywood actors.

Therefore, even though she won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, most of the directors who invited her to make films were art film directors. In the field of commercial films, there was no room for her to be picky.

"Yes, the script he gave me is simply hard to refuse." Su Lingxi rubbed his temples, and his tone was a little more helpless. "Let's wait and see. Next year's schedule is not too full at the moment. If I can get a more complete character plot later, I can consider taking on this drama..."

Just as Su Lingxi said, so far, there is only one film "Crime and Punishment" in the filming plan for next year, and the release date and specific time have not been determined.

Compared to this year's non-stop schedule of filming, wrapping up shoots, and attending various domestic and international film festivals, it is much more relaxing.

Due to some uncontrollable factors, the global release date of The Inverted Judgement had to be postponed from June to mid-September. The schedule that Su Lingxi had originally reserved for the film promotion was soon filled with other filming notices: the new season Lady Dior handbag advertisement, Chaumet Paris promotional blockbuster, the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair...

Even if she rejected the Taiwanese version of VOGUE, there would still be a steady stream of invitations from other magazines - after all, no one can resist the ready-made popularity.

At the end of June, in California, "Evelyn & Charlotte" started filming on time.

The two leading actors of the film had already signed performance contracts last year and confirmed their intention to join, which means that the director and producer have plenty of time to make advance preparations.

This is exactly where the benefits of the industrialization of the Hollywood film industry come into play - as long as the funds are in place, the entire crew can operate as fast as a highly sophisticated machine, and the scenery, costumes, props, everything can be completed quickly and well.

Infected by the high-efficiency working atmosphere, the first thing Su Lingxi did after completing the check-in procedures was to find Sigourney Garner to rehearse in advance - they had two separate scenes to shoot tomorrow afternoon.

"In the early stage of the escape, Charlotte was actually the one who occupied a dominant position between the two. Her experience made her more skilled and decisive than Evelyn, but this did not mean that Evelyn was weak. Compared with Charlotte, although Evelyn was older, her personality was innocent and charming. The moment Charlotte collapsed because her savings were stolen, Evelyn also gained a new life - it's not that she really couldn't learn to be strong, but she always felt that she didn't need to learn these things before, but we all know that this is not the case - one of the two people has to be strong, and women should also learn to take responsibility..."

As soon as Su Lingxi walked to the door, she heard voices coming from the room. It sounded like Carly Scott was discussing a scene with Sigourney.

As a screenwriter and producer, Carly Scott has a deep understanding of the content of the script. It is not difficult to hear from her tone that she also loves this script and these two characters created from her pen.

Su Lingxi thought about it and decided not to knock on the door and disturb them. Instead, she folded her arms and leaned against the wall, choosing to listen silently.
