Chapter 791: The Law of True Fragrance
"This box office couldn't be worse. ”
In an ordinary apartment in Los Angeles, Chris Evans looked at the newspaper and said to his brother Scott Evans: "Twentieth Century Fox's investment is hard to recover." ”
Scott Evans asked curiously, "So, you're announcing that you're not going to appear in superhero movies anymore?"
Chris Evans said: "There will never be a sequel to Fantastic Four, and I can't play Flame Man again, and such a public announcement may still be eye-catching. ”
Scott-Evans laughed, "But no one pays attention to you." ”
"yes. Chris Evans said helplessly: "This is the sadness of a young actor. ”
He asked, "Do you still want to be an actor?"
Scott Evans said: "Of course, I decided a long time ago. ”
Chris Evans deliberately put on an old-fashioned post: "I'll tell you from the experience of my predecessors, it's a very difficult road. ”
Like his brother, Scott Evans is a man with fantasies about Hollywood, and instead of taking up the topic, he said, "You better think about yourself first." Chris, you've just participated in a completely screwed first-line commercial blockbuster, and you're one of the four protagonists, and no one will easily ask you to star in a big-budget commercial movie in the future. ”
Chris Evans shrugged: "I have long thought about what else I can do in addition to mixing in the independent film industry? The agent suggested that I first go to the independent film industry to polish my acting skills, and strive to play some leading roles or main supporting roles in small-scale films, and then transfer back to the commercial film industry after being recognized or winning certain awards." ”
This is also a path that many actors in Hollywood are taking.
Scott-Evans, knowing that his brother wanted to be famous, said, "Are you sure? It's a tough road, and maybe you won't be able to make it until you're thirty." ”
"I've decided. Chris Evans looked very serious: "I'm going to resolutely say no to such vulgar movies as superheroes in the future, I'm going to dedicate myself to art!"
Scott Evans doesn't believe it: "You're sure. ”
Without hesitation, Chris Evans said, "I'm pretty sure!"
There was a knock on the door, Scott went over and pulled the door open, and Chris Evans' agent at CAA, Gustav, walked in.
"Is there bad news again?" asked Chris Evans.
Scott preemptively said, "Maybe it's good news. ”
Chris shrugged: "What good news can there be at this time?"
In fact, from the beginning of taking over the role of Flame Man, he felt that he was possessed by bad luck and was unlucky to do anything, and originally wanted to pursue Jessica Alba, but suddenly a tabloid hyped that Jessica Alba was sick and almost scared half his life.
Although there is a great possibility of fake, it is very scary after all, and it also makes the fire in his heart completely cold.
There are a lot of bad things like driving in the back, falling on a bicycle, and so on.
Until this weekend, the starring "Fantastic Four" hit the box office super big and became one of the four unlucky eggs.
Chris Evans felt as if he wasn't on the same channel as Twentieth Century Fox, and that the partnership hadn't been good since it was reached.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the big thick legs like James Cameron to hold like Jessica Alba.
Gustav, the agent, smiled and said, "Chris, it's really good news. ”
Chris Evans casually said, "What good news, say it." ”
"I received an invitation from Marvel Entertainment to audition for the Relativity Building next week," Gustav said. ”
"What?" Chris Evans paused: "Marvel Entertainment?"
Gustav nodded very seriously and said, "According to the information obtained by CAA, it was Ronan Anderson who personally asked Marvel Entertainment to send you an invitation to play a Marvel superhero. ”
Chris Evans looked at Gustav in surprise: "Really?"
"I'm not joking about things at work," Gustav said. ”
"Which superhero?" Chris Evans continued, "It can't be Flame, right? The rights to the Fantastic Four are in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox......"
Gustav said with certainty: "It's not the Fantastic Four, I don't know which one it is." ”
Chris Evans didn't dwell on this issue and asked rhetorically, "You just said that Ronan Anderson invited me?"
"Yes, it's said that Ronan Anderson made the decision after watching Fantastic Four," Gustav said. ”
Chris Evans took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Is this God going to favor me?"
Scott then answered: "Chris, you just said that you will not accept superhero movies in the future. ”
Chris Evans looked confused: "When did I say that?"
Scott continued: "You also said you were going to go to the independent film industry and dedicate yourself to art. ”
Chris Evans turned into a look of disgust: "I'm not interested in contributing ass!" He grabbed Gustav's hand without warning: "You hurry up and reply to them, I accept the invitation! When to audition, whatever they arrange!"
Gustav said, "I'll get in touch." ”
He walked to the next room, made a phone call, first to inform the company, and then to Kevin Feige, Marvel Entertainment's vice president of production.
Scott said, "Chris, you've betrayed yourself! What about your artistic pursuits?"
"Go to the artistic pursuit of stepping on a horse!" Chris Evans shouted, as if this was the only way to vent the excitement in his heart: "This is Ronan Anderson's invitation, this is Hollywood's recognized shortcut to fame!
Agent Gustav came back after the phone call and said, "Chris, there is another situation that needs to be notified to you in advance. ”
Chris Evans, who is also a star-level actor who has seen it, gradually calmed down at this time and asked, "Has something changed?"
Gustav said directly: "Kevin Feige reminded me of a situation that I overlooked, there are prerequisites for inviting you to participate in the audition, and if you can pass the audition, you need to sign a very long film contract with Marvel Entertainment, which may involve ten or more films." ”
Chris Evans knows his situation very well, Ronan Anderson's appeal is here, he knows which path he should choose, and said without hesitation: "Don't say ten, as long as you can become famous, signing twenty is not a problem!"
"That's fine," Gustav said, "and a word of caution, Chris, has been working out lately. ”
Chris Evans nodded heavily, superheroes are all muscle sticks, and there is nothing wrong with fitness.
As for signing a long-term contract, is that a problem? Hollywood has never dreamed of getting an opportunity like him, and it is estimated that there are too many to count.
"I'm a lucky one on horseback!" muttered Chris Evans.
With the signing of a long-term contract between Joaquin Phoenix and Marvel Entertainment, "Hulk" has a leading actor, and the casting of other superhero roles has also been put on Ronan's agenda.
Samuel L. Jackson is the first actor to sign a contract with Marvel Entertainment, and it is confirmed that he will star in the boiled egg that connects many movies and superheroes.
The experienced Clark Greg signed a long-term contract to serve as the head of the Marvel Newbie Village before he joined the "Iron Man" crew.
Scarlett Johansson's side is not a problem, and she will appear as Black Widow in "Iron Man".
The actors of Thor, Hawkeye and Captain America will also be confirmed this morning.
After watching "Fantastic Four", Ronan naturally recognized Chris Evans as the Flame Man.
Given the impression that had been, Chris Evans was named by him as the number one choice.
As for Thor, Ronan didn't find an actor named Chris Hemsworth, and it is estimated that he may still be picking a sledgehammer somewhere in Australia.
At Ronan's request, CAA provided Marvel Entertainment and Relativity Entertainment with a large number of young actors to choose from.
Although I don't know what is going on, CAA is also very clear that once it is favored by Ronan, CAA will have one more young star customer.
That's a good thing.
In the cast list, Ronan saw a somewhat familiar name called Jason Momoa, from Hawaii, who is currently working as a resident actor in the TV series Stargate: Atlantis.
Last year, he also starred in a film called "The Happy Journey of the Johnson Family", but he played a supporting role.
Ronan specifically asked Connie to find his details, including some videos, to make sure that he was not mistaken, this Jason Momoa was the beardless Aquaman.
Having said that, this person still has a beard that is more pleasing to the eye.
Subsequently, Ronan transferred the relevant information to Kevin Feige and asked Kevin Feige to send an audition invitation.
It's unrealistic to go to Australia all over the world to find Chris Hymosworth, this kind of movie is ultimately the role that makes the actor, and the former Aquaman seems to be good.
The once famous Mr. Xu can not only act as the god of thunder, but also be the king of the sea, which shows that the image is not a problem.
When Ronan thought of this, he suddenly had an idea, should he invite Mr. Xu over and play Thor?
It is said that Mr. Xu has extraordinary skills, he can not only swing on the chain, but also play the high difficulty of trapeze, and can also tug of war with cows......
Every Christmas in North America, there is always a man with a white beard and a red hat, isn't Mr. Xu?
Ronan also asked Connie to collect Mr. Xu's information, and also sent it to Kevin Feige, asking him to send an invitation to the port city, as for whether Mr. Xu came to audition, it was not something he could operate.
A third-rate comic superhero like Thor, it is estimated that Mr. Xu has never heard of his name.
Mr. Xu is a real man who dedicates himself to art!
Anyone who has watched Mr. Xu's movie will give a thumbs up and praise "Men should be like this"!
