Chapter 120: The Crowd
In Studio Crown, in a makeshift lounge, a middle-aged white man clasped his hands to his chest and looked at Tom Hanks on the sofa in extreme depression. "Tom, you have to think about it clearly! Although director Chris Deng has succeeded in a movie, no one is sure that his film will not be Waterloo, your current career is on the rise, and it is very risky to cooperate with such a director, if it fails, it will affect your future salary. ”
Tom Hanks smiled honestly when he heard the words of his agent Brian Nord, he naturally understood the purpose of Brian Nord's words, not because the director of "Forrest Gump" Chris Deng and the owner of CAA Michael Ovitz did not deal with each other, so after he agreed to Nancy to come to audition, not only Brian Nord persuaded him, but even Michael Ovitz talked to him three times.
But CAA is serving him, not his boss, and there's no need for him to give up an $80 million film for Michael Ovitz. "I understand what you're saying, but Forrest Gump is worth the gamble, isn't it? $80 million is a big-budget movie, and if it works, I'll be a Hollywood A-list. ”
"But ....... ”
"Blaine, don't say it, okay? It's not good to say something too bluntly. Tom Hanks interrupted Brian Nord.
"Alright!" Brian Nord shrugged. In fact, he didn't want to stop Tom Hanks, but his boss Michael Ovitz gave him orders, so he could only go against his conscience.
Just as Tom Hanks and Brian Nord ended their discordant conversation, Winona Ryder sat next to Johnny Depp in another lounge.
Ever since she met Johnny Depp during the filming of "Edward Scissorhands", she felt that she had found the love of her dreams.
"Honey! I really don't want to work, I just want to be by your side every day!" Winona Ryder doesn't pay much attention to the heroine of "Forrest Gump" in her heart, what she looks forward to most now is to be by Johnny Depp's side every day, and nothing else matters.
"Forrest Gump" is a big-budget movie with an investment of 80 million dollars, if you can successfully play the leading role, it will be very helpful for your future career, I don't know how many people in Hollywood are looking forward to making an appearance in such a movie, even I also want to play a role in it! It's a pity that director Chris Deng didn't invite me. Johnny Depp held Winona Ryder's hand, although he looked affectionate on the surface, but his heart was full of envy and jealousy for Winona Ryder.
He didn't understand how Winona Ryder's shit luck was so good, and after acting in "Edward Scissorhands" with him, he not only starred in the great director Francis Ford Coppola's "Godfather 3", but now he was invited to "Forrest Gump", which made him very unhappy.
And in order to balance his heart, he just deliberately instigated Winona Ryder to ask for a role for himself in "Forrest Gump", if Winona Ryder asked him for a role, it would be good, if not, he couldn't show his face in "Forrest Gump", then he wouldn't watch Winona Ryder have infinite scenery, and when the time comes, he will find a way to get Winona Ryder to quit "Forrest Gump", anyway, it's not the first time he has done this kind of thing.
At that time, Winona Ryder did it once when she was filming "The Godfather 3", not only letting Winona Ryder, a brainless woman, withdraw from "The Godfather 3" and stand still like him, but also offended the great director Francis Ford Coppola. So this kind of thing is familiar to him.
Just when Johnny Depp was thinking about how to calculate Winona Ryder, Winona Ryder looked at Johnny Depp with an infatuated look. "Honey, wait a minute, if I succeed in the audition, I'll tell the director and ask him to arrange a role for you in the play, so that we can not only act together again!
And Johnny Depp laughed secretly when he heard Winona Ryder's words, this was exactly the result he wanted. "Forget it, so as not to affect your audition, it won't be good. Although Johnny Depp is looking forward to Winona Ryder asking for a role for him, as an experienced actor, he will never let Winona Ryder see his intentions.
"How do you know if you don't try!What if the director agrees!" Winona Ryder looked at Johnny Depp coquettishly.
"Hey!" Johnny Depp sighed deliberately, and then looked at Winona Ryder with a pretended doting look. "Okay, okay! I really can't help you, when the time comes, you can mention it casually, if the director doesn't agree, forget it, don't carry it with the director, you know?"
"Well, I know. Winona Ryder nodded.
And Johnny Depp leaned over and kissed Winona Ryder. "I love you baby!"
"I love you too....... ”
While Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp were sprinkling dog food in the break room, Nicolas Cage and his agent were rehearsing the plot about Lieutenant Deng Taylor in Forrest Gump in another lounge.
Although he is only a supporting role in "Forrest Gump", he is very optimistic about this movie, so he works so hard. And the reason why he has the script of "Forrest Gump" in his hand is because Francis Ford Coppola is his uncle, and Francis Ford Coppola is the executive producer of "Forrest Gump", so he can get the script, rehearse in advance, and increase his chances of getting the role.
Just as Nicolas Cage's stupid bird flew first, in the lounge next to him, the black singer Will Smith was walking around the room nervously.
"Will, you should sit down and rest, not waste your energy walking around like this. The agent on the side, Red Moore, persuaded.
"Oh, Red, I can't sit down right now, do you know how important Forrest Gump is to me? I have to get this role, I have to ....... Will Smith said, clenching his fists. Although he is a singer, he prefers acting, but so far no director has asked him to act in a movie except for acting in a TV series, so he received an audition invitation from Nancy, knowing that he was being watched by a movie with an investment of 80 million dollars, his heart has never been calm.
If he can successfully take over the role of "Forrest Gump", it will be equivalent to having a stepping stone, he will be able to knock on Hollywood, which has been closed to him, and then he will not worry about no director coming to him, so "Forrest Gump" is not only a movie for him, but also a golden stepping stone for him to enter the showbiz in the future.
