"Jumanji" is a fantasy children's picture book published in the United States in 1981. It was written by American writer Chris Van Eisberg. The setting of the story itself is very bold and interesting.

Jurassic is the name of a game, players who play this kind of game will be immersed in a fantasy world; once the game starts, no matter what happens, they must abide by the rules of the game and finish the game.The word Jumanji is of Zulu origin and means "many influences".

The movie of the same name is adapted from the story setting of this book. In addition to continuing the setting, the movie script has made many new attempts, such as adding adult protagonists to enrich the age of characters and so on.

"I've heard of this book." Rhea recalled the plot she had read. It seemed that there were two suitable roles for her. One was the little girl starring Kirsten Dunst. The role, the other is the adult character Sarah Vettel's childhood, probably a little more than the Annabelle that Rhea interviewed before.

Although she played the heroine in the last film, if the film is not released, it means that there is no work, because people don't know her performance in the film.

It was Sarah Vettel's childhood character that Malloy connected her with.

"This character is not the same as Lolita, and we can play some small cameo roles with this different image before the movie is released." Malloy answered Rhea's question concisely, "And you are not the same as before. For a newcomer without any experience, auditioning for this kind of role is not difficult."

"But I played "Lolita", which is different from those other girl roles, Matthew." Without getting excited too early, Rhea realized the problem calmly.

Any work that other girls have participated in can add points to their audition, it's just a matter of how many points they get, but Rhea's situation is different, this can only reduce her points, and even directly affect her audition result.

"Don't think too much, your movie hasn't been released yet, girl, no one knows what your Lolita will look like, just think from another angle, this can also be your advantage." Without her worries , Malloy was even more confident, "Since you can play Lolita, why can't you play an ordinary girl next door?"

Judging from the usual appearance, no one would connect Rhea Noren with Lolita, and this could become an entry point for Malloy's operation.

Although Malloy was right, Rhea always felt that something was wrong.

She has seen "Game of the Brave", in which the four protagonists are a pair of adults and a pair of boys and girls. The story begins 26 years ago, when a little boy, Alan Paris, and Sarah Vetter, a little girl who comes to him, plays a board game called Jurassic, but they don't know that the game has magical powers and that once it starts it can't be stopped until it's played to the end.

But Sarah, who was frightened by the game, ran away and left Alan in the game.

26 years later, a new family moved into this house. A pair of siblings found the "Jumanji" left in the house. Big Allen, in order to solve all the troubles, they persuaded Sarah, who had lingering fears, to join them, determined to play the game to the end and bring the world back to normal.

The original book is a children's book, and the adapted movie is also a fantasy adventure comedy movie suitable for the whole family to watch. Of course, one of the protagonists of the story is a child. It is very suitable for promoting the development of the plot.

But now Rhea is in an embarrassing transitional stage. For a child star who is as cute as a doll, fifteen or 16 years old is the death line, because Europeans and Americans at this age are in puberty, and there will be obvious changes in appearance. Change, it's impossible to go back and play the funny little kid again.

And she's 14 now, not too far from 15.

In terms of physical characteristics, since she has started to act as a sexy girl who teases uncles, she naturally stays away from soft and cute little girls.

Of course, compared to a precocious girl, the role of an innocent girl is more challenging for Rhea. It's not that she can't play it, she just feels that she has a feeling of going back and forth.

Although this fantasy adventure film "Game of the Brave" with a box office of over 90 million was not favored by film critics, it did achieve very good box office results. In the [-]s, the film was considered a big production and also attracted the audience, but for For Rhea, it was simply too young.

"Are you sure, Matthew?" She questioned herself, "Am I not too old for this role?" Rhea vaguely remembered that the little girls in the movie were very small, even Kirsten Dunst was also at his loveliest age.

Malloy explained: "The role requirements only say that you are under 14 years old. You are just 14 years old. How can you be overage? This is a good theme, and the production company also has a good reputation. The male lead has already been confirmed. Robin Williams , the female lead is Bonnie Hunter, I don’t think the box office will be any worse, we should try.”

Rhea suddenly understood that she only knew the situation after watching the movie, and for Malloy, this was just a movie project under construction, and he was able to pick out "James of the Brave" from these vague information. caught his eye.

"No, I'm really over age. If this is a movie based on a children's book, then children must be one of the protagonists, and no matter how good my acting skills are, I can't play the role of children." Rhea looked for a suitable one. The words convinced him: "I feel that my image is no longer suitable."

Her agent sounded a little helpless: "Ha, you haven't even read the script before you start thinking about whether it's appropriate or not."

Worried that Malloy would become arrogant and conceited when she thought it was her first filming to play the leading role, Rhea quickly explained: "I don't care about the length of the scenes, it's just that this movie—"

"Yes, yes, you can play that kind of youthful love drama, and I will pay attention to some more mature roles for you in the future." Malloy didn't take it too seriously, after all, this is just a small role, and the role will not More than Annabelle in "Lolita", he also didn't want Rhea to contact her for an audition after playing Lolita for too long.

Although she knew that she couldn't act in her own situation, thinking about the final box office results of this movie, Rhea still felt that she shouldn't miss it. "This kind of fantasy theme should be a big production, right?"

Malloy didn't hear Rhea's temptation, or he heard the temptation but didn't think of Rhea's real intention. He directly answered Rhea's question, "Small cost investment, Ted Field wants to control the cost Below 5000 million, Robin Williams directly took 1000 million. I heard that this made director Joe Johnston apply for more investment from the production company, but Ted disagreed. They were planning to find a way to share the investment. Stressful producers."

"Sounds interesting."

Her agent recalled: "Wow, I have to admit that you were born to be in Hollywood."

"But you have to know that the remuneration you get after filming "Lolita" is nothing to this kind of investment game." He didn't discourage Rhea's ambition, but reminded her very rationally, " Even if you have money, it’s impossible to get access to the producers of the film without connections.”

"Andre Witter is rich, and he is an independent producer." Rhea thought of a plan, maybe she will fail, but who cares, she is so young now, of course she has to give it a go while she is young, "Even if I don't have a network, I can still contact the producer of the film, Matthew, I'm an actor, and I can audition."

Rhea smiled sweetly: "Let's drop Sarah Vettel, can you audition for me with that more girl role, Matthew?"

If Rhea wasn't going to be in the movie, Malloy couldn't possibly have any interest as an agent, but he was attracted to Rhea's boldness and intelligence, so his answer was——

"of course."

The main little girl character in Jumanji is called Judy Shepherd, and in Memories of Rhea it's starring Kirsten Dunst.

Kirsten Dunst is a Hollywood child star who became famous very early. She also starred in many successful works this year, such as "Interview with the Vampire", "Little Women" and other classic films, which have been scheduled but have not yet been officially released , the box office hit "Game of the Brave" pushed her to a higher position.

Assuming that Rhea's career plan goes well, they will definitely meet in the future, but now, she and Kirsten Dunst are only competing one step ahead.

This is not like the audition when Rhea participated in the "Lolita" audition. There were only four or five girls in the waiting room outside the audition room, and they were all young girls who had acting experience and even played important roles in some movies. actor.

"Game of the Brave" is a popcorn movie. Of course, what he wants to look for is a child actor who has acting talent, preferably with a certain degree of recognition among the audience.

Malloy was able to squeeze Rhea, who just met the age limit required by the role, into this kind of interview because she had acted as the heroine of a movie.

Regardless of the specific process, from the perspective of the ICM agency, Malloy successfully turned a newcomer with no acting experience into the heroine of a 6000 million-produced movie. A little more.

So Malloy didn't encounter too many difficulties in operating this matter.

As Rhea's agent, he has done a good job, and the rest can only be seen by Rhea herself.

Staying with a room full of young girls, Rhea felt her "oldness" more deeply. This may be an illusion brought about by her behavior and posture, but it is also part of the fact that she is indeed the oldest here.

This sense of difference made Rhea get most of the attention. Kirsten Dunst even looked at Rhea in surprise. She seemed curious, but the agent next to her might be her family. let her come over.

Although they are both blonde and blue-eyed, the two-year-old difference makes Rhea and Kirsten look very different. Because of Lolita, Rhea dyed her hair reddish maroon to protect her hair after filming. It didn't get dyed back either, but as soon as she returned to New York in winter, her skin that had worked so hard to get a light honey color quickly faded back to snow color.

Long reddish hair, blue eyes and smooth white skin make Rhea look more mature and outstanding among the girls.

This visual surprise and special charm made her startle the whole room when she stepped into the audition room. They looked around at the little angels, and suddenly a little witch was ushered in. Naturally, Startled.

In the photos sent with the resume, Rhea looked immature, and this sense of difference made the director and producer very impressed.

Feeling that Rhea's real-life image didn't match the character's positioning, Robert Cotter, one of the film's producers, politely asked: "Can you act like you're terrified?"

Upon hearing this instruction, Rhea screamed immediately, because she happened to be facing the director Joe Johnston who came to interview the young actor, so she pointed her finger at him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

In order to deepen her impression, Rhea tried her best to demonstrate all her acting skills, and even did her best to play the role of a girl who only needs five points of acting skills.

She opened her eyes wide, and even twitched her body realistically. At that moment, the director who was close to her could even see her pupils shrinking.

One moment she was still introducing herself to people with a smile, and the next moment she became like this. This amazing face-changing ability completely frightened these adults.

If it wasn't for the director Joe Johnston standing up suddenly from his seat, Rhea wouldn't know that her acting skills were so good.

"No, no, I was just trying to look terrified." Even though Rhea made an attempt to ease the deadlock, she still couldn't stop the awkward atmosphere from spreading in the audition room, "There's nothing on you."

In fact, at that moment, Robert Cotter, who was next to Joe, subconsciously turned to look at him, thinking that there was something on Joe, and the representatives of the actor union sitting at the farthest side to ensure the fairness of the audition all took a few glances.

It's not that her acting skills are so amazing that those professionals are startled, but they have been interviewing young actors, no matter how clever their acting skills are, they still have a jerky atmosphere, and most of them still obey themselves The instinctive acting, so after watching so many youthful performances, they will of course be frightened when they suddenly see a very mature acting.

And Rhea's appearance is also deceiving. In their view, this is a girl who is a bit over-aged, but still very young.

"Wow, you really scared me just now." Joe Johnston relieved his behavior just now with a good-natured smile, and he also looked at Rhea with appreciation for a long time, "And you are the only one who scared me." to our people."

Noticing that Ted Field was looking over with interest, Rhea smiled more sincerely: "I think I can also entertain you."

"Your acting skills are very good." Ted took the initiative to talk, "I can now understand why you can play Lolita." When he spoke, he had a regretful tone. The role of Dee, I still regret that she played Lolita.

This is too restrictive for the way of play.

"I can't play Judy Shepherd, can I?" Knowing the result, Rhea has nothing to regret, but she still acts like she is very upset, "I saw those girls, I Think I'm a bit 'old'."

"I think your ability has gone far beyond this role." With an attitude of appreciation, Ted replied tactfully, "And there are many opportunities for cooperation. I hope to see you again."

"I hope too." Even knowing that she was rejected, Rhea's smile was bright. This kind of strength and optimism can easily win the favor of others.

As expected by Rhea, the role of Judy Shephead was finally taken by Kirsten Dunst, but Malloy got Ted Field's call for her, and this is She really needs it.

Since she wants to prove her ability to Andre Witter, how can she just predict the box office?
