After a night of rest in Shawshank Prison, Hong Chen got on a plane again and went straight to Hollywood.

When he came this time, he naturally wanted to find a way to sign Morgan Freeman.

However, as a national treasure actor, it is not so easy to want Morgan Freeman to star in this movie.

If you go straight to find it, you will probably be politely refused.

This situation is also normal, for example, Hong Chen was at home, and suddenly a famous Japanese actor knocked on his door, hoping that he could star in a Japanese movie, then Hong Chen would definitely refuse directly.

Therefore, this matter has to be coordinated by someone from the middle.

Hong Chen's first thought was Fei Lun.

Jimmy ** is not only the host of a talk show, but also an actor, singer, producer, author and other multiple identities, and also has a high status in the entertainment industry in the United States.

Last year, he was evaluated as the most popular host by netizens in the United States, and presided over ceremonies such as the Emmy Awards and the Golden Globe Awards.

"Hong, my old friend, how did you remember to call me. Jimmy** said in surprise after receiving Hong Chen's call.

"There's something I need your help with. Hong Chen said straight to the point, "If you're not in Los Angeles, please have dinner." ”

"No problem. Jimmy readily agreed.

Jimmy is a warm person, and Hong Chen also called Jimmy a few times when he was in Huaxia.

Moreover, this time, just before dinner in the evening, is exactly.

Not long after, the two of them made an appointment at the Dream Western Restaurant in the wealthy area. The environment of the Dream Western Restaurant is very good, and Hollywood stars often come to eat here.

The two of them chatted while eating, and when they talked about Morgan Freeman, Jimmy said in surprise:

"You want Freeman to play it? That's not easy. The people who asked him to act in movies are all big directors, and he has no shortage of resources. ”

"I still want to give it a try, and it doesn't have to be too troublesome, you just need to help me introduce you. Hong Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, but you have to think about it too. Freeman is a well-known golden supporting actor, and he has many movies where the limelight completely overshadows the protagonist. ”

"Haha, you can rest assured of this. ”

"That's right, there's a charity auction in a few days, and Freeman is definitely going to go, and you can try your luck there. ”

Hearing this, Hong Chen's eyes lit up, this is just right.

After that, Jimmy helps Hongchen get a ticket to a charity auction.

A few days later, Hong Chen, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, drove a luxury car to a private estate in Beverly Hills to participate in this charity auction. Because most of Hollywood stars live in Beverly Hills, it's convenient for Hong Chen to go over.

After Hong Chen received the number plate, he sat down, and he met several Hollywood movie stars he knew, and they all smiled and said hello to them.

At this time, a Hollywood actor sat next to Hong Chen, his expression was not very friendly, and he looked at Hong Chen a few times.

This person Hong Chen also knows, is a second-tier actor in Hollywood, named Terry Bottom, who has starred in several Hollywood blockbusters.

"Hey, Huaxia, you're not welcome here. Terry Bottom said to him with a blank face, a threat in his tone.

Hong Chen frowned, what age is this, and there are people who are so racist.

In fact, racial discrimination in the United States is very serious. Not just for blacks, but also for yellows.

Terry is clearly that kind of person.

Hong Chen glanced at him indifferently and didn't pay attention to him at all.

Terry was tall and mighty, full of muscles, and after seeing Hong Chen's indifferent expression, his face was not very good-looking.

"Get out of the rice country and go back to your poor country. ”

“F-u-c-k off!” Hong Chen directly used the English word "roll" to indicate the highest degree of disgust.

Terry seems to want to say something, but this is a charity gala, and it's okay for everyone to have a few words of war, and it's not friendly to anyone if they do it.

Hong Chen didn't expect to meet such a disgusting person.

It didn't take long for the auction to start, and the items in the auction were all some exquisite jewelry, collectibles and the like, and Hong Chen was not very interested in it.

Terry didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Terry is indeed racist, especially hating Asian people, in his eyes, the white race is the most noble race, and other races should not share the resources of the country with them.

In particular, Hong Chen, a glamorous Asian who has a high reputation in the United States, is the object of Terry's deep hatred.

This is the case in the United States, where people are not only racist, but also violent.

You can refer to the police who killed black people, in fact, in the eyes of these police officers, black lives are really not valuable.

Hong Chen ignored Terry.

Not long after, after a break in the middle of the auction, Hong Chen found the right time and walked towards Morgan Freeman.

The two have filmed together in "Batman 2" before, so they know each other.

"Hello, Mr. Morgan. Hong Chen went up very kindly and said hello.

"Hong Chen, long time no see, I was very impressed by your clown last time. Hearing Hong Chen's words, Freeman sighed with emotion.

"Mr. Morgan, it's been a pleasure working with you as well. Hong Chen also replied with a smile.

Then, he said, "Mr. Morgan, I have come to the auction this time to find you. ”

"Looking for me?"

"Yes, I'm preparing to make a film, and there's a very important role in it, and I think only you can do it, so I want to invite you to play it. Hong Chen said very sincerely.

"You can send the script directly to my agent, why bother to run it in person. Listening to his words, Freeman was a little surprised.

Hong Chen can come to him in person, which is enough to see Hong Chen's sincerity.

"Mr. Morgan, I hope you can read the script, it only delays you for about 10 minutes, can you read it?"

Morgan Freeman hesitated.

To be honest, if Hong Chen hadn't come over in person, he would definitely not have read the script.

I don't know how many big directors are looking for him every day, and now that he is older, he doesn't want to work so hard in filming.

Unless it's a really classic movie, he can come out of the mountain.

But now that Hong Chen has found him in person, it is inevitable that he will be a little embarrassed to refuse directly.

"Okay, then I'll take a look. Morgan Freeman was also embarrassed to refuse directly, so he planned to take a look first.

His idea was to reject Hong Chen after reading it, in this case, Hong Chen would have nothing to say.

To be honest, Morgan Freeman still gave Hong Chen face.

Because Hong Chen's performance in "Batman 2" is too amazing, Morgan Freeman has a good impression of him.

With that, the two of them came to the rest area on the side, and Hong Chen asked the assistant to take out the script.

The Shawshank Redemption

When Morgan Freeman saw the name of the script, for some reason, he suddenly chuckled in his heart.

It's as if in some unknown world, his name and the name of the movie are closely linked.

Morgan Freeman immediately put away his perfunctory thoughts.

He began to read the script.

The script was written in great detail, and as he read more and more deeply, a story slowly appeared in his mind.

Shawshank Prison, everyone in the cell, every prison guard, and the main characters, Andy and Big Brother Red......

It's a very fleshing story.

It's also a very touching story.

Hong Chen waited silently on the side.

He knew that if he could get Freeman to read the script, he would succeed.

There's a magic to this script.

Finally, Freeman finished reading the script.

He also knew which role Hong Chen was looking for him to play.

"It's a beautiful story. Freeman exclaimed.

"As you can see, for the role of Rhett, I really can't think of any other suitable person besides you. Hong Chen laughed.

Freeman glanced at Hong Chen and said, "Have the crew and filming locations been decided? Who is the director? Is there a list of actors?"

Hearing Freeman's words, Hong Chen knew that he had become interested in this movie.

Hong Chen responded with a smile: "I have already prepared the details of this movie, and when the auction is over, I will prepare a copy for you." ”

Freeman nodded, and then glanced at the script again, feeling more and more strange in his heart.

It's as if if you don't shoot this script, you will lose a lot of things.

However, such a wonderful story, Freeman's heart really did not want to miss it.
