The slow progress of the casting work made Evan Bell feel the embarrassment of Richard Kelly at the beginning, but he has been lucky compared to Richard Kelly. Eleven Studio is responsible for investment, and the name "Evan Bell" is attractive to actors, so the casting work of "Mysterious Skin" is already much better than "Death Illusion", but Evan Bell Being too picky and resolutely unwilling to live by the role, this has resulted in little effect.

Imagine how difficult it was for Richard Kelly to prepare for "Death Illusion," and how hard it was for an independent film like Richard Kelly to struggle. In fact, just like independent musicians, the status quo of independent films is not very good. Even if there are platforms such as the Sundance Film Festival and companies such as Fox Searchlight specializing in exploring independent films, the situation of independent films is still difficult.

Evan Bell, a first-line actor in Hollywood today, is very popular, and his box office appeal is not to be underestimated. But it was such a well-known person who dabbled in independent film, and in the case of financial constraints - "Mystery Skin" only invested $300,000 - still can not make the film have enough impact. Of course, part of the reason is that Evan Bell still does not have many convincing works in the position of producer and director, but it is evident from the attitude of society towards Evan Bell's preparation of "mysterious skin" . Even as topical as Evan Bell, the news that he is making an independent film still fails to arouse the enthusiasm of everyone.

This afternoon, Evan Bell interviewed here at Starbucks, which is not a secret to the news media at all, but now in the vicinity, let alone the news media, not even the paparazzi appeared. Indeed, what's the point of a $300,000 movie? If "Love Notebook" is worth writing about, then "Mysterious Skin" is simply ignored.

This is not the whole picture of independent films. After all, independent films have made great progress in recent years and have received a lot of attention, but this still reflects that people don’t pay enough attention to independent films.

Indie musicians can pick up their instruments and can be a stage for performances anywhere, all they want is an opportunity; and indie films are even more difficult, even if they pick up a camcorder and shoot a movie, they can't find a platform to play it. Showcase - the Sundance Film Festival only happens once a year.

This made Evan Bell think of two things. One is that it is no wonder that video sites such as utube and Youku will rise in the future, not only because people can see more vivid images on video sites, but also become independent music. A platform for people and independent filmmakers to express themselves. Justin Bieber, who will be popular all over the world in the future, will sing himself on utube, right? The second is that maybe Evan Bell can do something about the status quo of independent music and independent films.

The original intention of Eleven Studio was to realize Evan Bell's idea of ​​music and movies. If it was a big film company, Evan Bell would have to go through layers of review to shoot a script like "Mysterious Skin", how could he be so comfortable now. Eleven Studios is now an independent studio dedicated to the creation of independent music and independent films.

So why can't Evan Bell set up a fund? This fund can provide some basic help for independent musicians and independent filmmakers, perhaps with funds, perhaps with production crews, perhaps with professional opinions, perhaps with display platforms, and perhaps with distribution channels. Such a fund may be destined to be unable to grow. After all, Evan Bell and Eleven Studios have limited strength, but it is enough to be able to do their part.

utube, funds... Evan Bell originally came to audition for "Mysterious Skin", but he didn't want to think about it but wandered around.

"Good afternoon, I'm here for an interview." A girl's voice pulled back Evan Bell's thoughts of wandering into the universe. The actors who came to line up before have basically finished their interviews, and now there are only one or two people coming one after another. Evan Bell was in a daze for a minute just now, and now he comes back to his senses immediately.

"Hello." As soon as Evan Bell looked up, he saw a youthful face, a young girl, "Are you here to interview Wendy or Avalian?" Young, the age requirements are less strict, although Evan Bell has raised the issue.

However, this question was only uttered, and Evan Bell's eyes were attracted by the figure beside the girl. He opened his mouth slightly, as if surprised. He leaned his brows to the middle, and doubts clearly solidified between his brows. But Evan Bell is also a person who is used to seeing big scenes, and soon returned to normal, looking at the girl and asking, "May I ask is it Miss (ss)...?"

"Seyfried, Amanda Seyfried. I'm here to audition for the role of Avalon," said the blond, big-eyed girl with a big smile on her face. Before she finished speaking, she pointed to The girl beside her who surprised Evan Bell said, "Blake Lively, she's here to audition for the role of Wendy."

"Mr. Bell, good afternoon, I'm also here for the interview." Blake Lively had a mischievous smile on his face, but she kept holding back, trying not to raise the corners of her mouth, but the pair of slightly The squinted eyes betrayed her emotions.

Evan Bell really didn't expect Blake Lively to come for the interview. After he came to Los Angeles today, he started working directly, and he hadn't had time to contact Blake Lively yet. And Amanda Seyfried, Evan Bell also quickly recognized the young actor.

Amanda Seyfried was born as a child star, became a model at the age of eleven, and then successively played supporting roles in TV series. It wasn't until she starred in "Mean Girls" with Rachel McAdams and Lindsay Lohan that she really entered everyone's attention. "Mean Girls" is set to hit theaters this year, and it's a terrific success. Then, Amanda Seyfried starred in "Mamma Mia" in 2008 and became the director's darling, although Amanda Seyfried lacked a shocking masterpiece after that, and "Little Red Riding Hood" in 2011 also failed to achieve expectations achievements in . But she is still known as Hollywood's four little girls along with Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, and Emma Roberts.

Evan Bell didn't know that Amanda Seyfried and Blake Lively were friends, but think about it, Amanda Seyfried rolled around Broadway for five years and is still on Broadway. Study, it is estimated that these two little girls met on Broadway.

Looking at the two girls in front of them, they obviously enjoyed the surprise in Evan Bell's eyes, and the smiles on their faces could hardly be suppressed. Evan Bell couldn't help showing a helpless smile, but helplessness was quickly hidden behind his expression, he said earnestly, "Miss Lively please sit back and wait a moment. Miss Seyfried, You're interviewing for the role of Avalian, right?"

Evan Bell's seriousness made the two girls feel frustrated immediately, which made Evan Bell's heart hurt to the point of laughter. However, the two seemed to be really here for the interview. After looking at each other, Blake Lively said, "I'll come first. Amanda is behind me." After that, Blake Lively also smiled. He got up and sat down opposite Evan Bell, "Good afternoon, Mr. Bell, I'm here for the interview for the role of Wendy in 'Mysterious Skin'."

Evan Bell glanced at Blake Lively and seemed to ask "Are you serious?"

Blake Lively tried hard not to raise the corners of her mouth, and the results seemed to be good. She nodded solemnly, "May I ask what I need to do?"

Evan Belt paused and decided to give Blake Lively an interview.

No matter what the original purpose of Blake Lively and Amanda Seyfried was here, but they did know the characters, and now Blake Lively looks very serious, so why not How about Blake Lively?

"I need you to say a line." For the role of Wendy, Evan Bell interviewed several girls all afternoon, but unfortunately none of them could satisfy him. Evan Bell pushed the script book over and pointed to the line marked in red, "Where ordinary people have a heart, Neil's is a bottomless black hole. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into Go in and lose yourself forever."

Evan Bell did not explain the specific situation nor the connection of the context, nor did he describe the role of Wendy in detail. There is only one simple line, but this line contains a lot of content. For example, Wendy knows Neil very well, she can be said to know Neil the best among her friends, she even knows Neil's secrets; for example, Wendy once fell in love with Neil , was attracted by his charm, but finally found out that everything was in vain; another example, Wendy's feelings for Neil were very complicated, including sympathy, desire for redemption, worry, worship, distress and so on. This line, according to different understandings, can show different styles.

In "Mysterious Skin", Wendy is not the protagonist, but an indispensable friend around Neil. Although the lens is small, it is also very important.

Evan Bell hopes that the actors who come to the interview can interpret different content from this line, and then inject their own understanding and express it. Like Evan Bell's style, there is no right answer, but there is a directional idea, and he prefers to let the actors play freely.

Just, what kind of answer will Blake Lively give?
