Chapter 104: Christopher Waltz

The second update, ask for recommendation votes, and wait for another one!

――

The roles are basically supporting roles, but no one can steal the limelight from him.

And although he won two Oscars is directly related to the ghost director, in Chen Tian's opinion, this person's strength is also one of the main reasons.

However, Chen Tian does not deny that this director will further expand his strength, and the cooperation between the two of them is the most direct embodiment of 1+1>2.

And the works and abilities of this ghost director, Chen Tian is quite submissive.

Chen Tian couldn't help but hope that this name was the person in his memory, so he didn't think about it and walked in directly.

After buying the tickets, there are still about twenty minutes before the opening, and the hall that can accommodate 500 people is already full of people.

In Oakbrook, the western suburb of Chicago, there is a large park with beautiful scenery and small bridges and flowing water, with an oriental atmosphere.

This is the famous McDonald's headquarters campus, which consists of office buildings, the University of Hamburg and a hotel, with a lake in the middle and a small bridge connecting the lake.

The beautiful environment makes many tourists come here, but today the people in the McDonald's headquarters office building are not in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the park.

An emergency meeting was being held in the conference room of the headquarters, and the round table room, which could accommodate 50 people, was now full.

And these people come from all over the world, including McDonald's presidents on all continents, as well as presidents of some of the countries where McDonald's sells best, and even the top executives of McDonald's companies.

Sitting at the top is McDonald's current CEO Charlie Bell, who, as MGM pointed out, is suffering from colon cancer injuries.

Charlie Bell quietly underwent surgery in May, but the results were not satisfactory.

Twenty days ago, he had a second cancer operation, and if it weren't for the Super Burger King release, he would still be recovering at home.

Charlie Bell, who is only 43 years old, looks much older under the torture of illness, and has lost all his hair.

"This is not a minor accident, and we must treat it very seriously." Charlie Bell's voice trembled, "If we don't handle it well, it could be an unprecedented blow to us." ”

Charlie Bell is in a bad state of mind at the moment, but in MGM's eyes, this is the mall, and the mall is a ruthless battlefield.

They won't give up on using McDonald's to promote Super Burger King just because Charlie Bell is suffering from an injury.

And Chen Tian, who was far away in New York, also waited for the opening scene of "Rucia of Lammermore", and when the man who played Lord Henry Aston came out, Chen Tian, who was sitting in the second row, suddenly sat up straight.

Because the man on stage was the man he was expecting - Christopher Waltz.

In 2009, he was spotted by talented director Quentin Tarantino for his role in Inglourious Basterds, which received eight nominations at the 2010 Oscars.

It was this work that made Christoph Waltz suddenly go from a depressed man who had been depressed on the road to film for thirty years to a guy who was known all over the world.

He also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Colonel Hans of the German Army in this film, and Christoph Waltz impressed him too much in this film.

The lead actor, Brand Pitt, couldn't hold back his superb performance, and his performances in four languages, English, German, French and Italian, were even more breathtaking.

This film also began his brilliant journey, and by this time he was almost fifty-four years old.

Chen Tian earnestly admired Christopher Waltz on stage, although he was not a professional opera artist, his performance was already quite good in the eyes of Chen Tian, a pseudo-opera fan.

In particular, his expressions and movements seemed to Chen Tian to be far better than those performers he had seen, and Chen Tian made up his mind to pay attention to John Odom, the male protagonist of this man from Earth.

Chen Tian also decided to modify the original script according to Christoph Waltz's language skills and add something new.

For example, his colleagues who have lived in the 140th century and have lived in many countries, so they know many languages.

Here, Chen Tian also plans to make Christoph Waltz speak more languages, which will seem a little more convincing.

The performance on stage continued, and Chen Tian enjoyed it very seriously, and suddenly remembered the creator of the great work "Inglourious Basterds", the talented director Quentin Tarantino.

When Buried Alive was released, it collided with Kill Bill, and Kill Bill was the work of his director and screenwriter.

Quentin Tarantino is more precisely Chen Tian's idol, he can not only direct and act but also write excellent scripts, and even a good camera player, almost an all-rounder.

The famous "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" came from his hands, and he also played a very important role in the American independent film revolution.

Without him, perhaps independent films would not have developed so quickly, and his success is also the template and direction of countless independent filmmakers.

The performance on stage also came, and Chen Tian shook his head and enjoyed it seriously again.

Christoph Waltz prepares for the curtain call as usual, then removes his makeup and buys some things for his family home.

He had been coming to New York from Austria for almost 10 years, and he had been coming to the United States from Europe for almost 20 years.

He had wanted to be an actor since he was twenty years old, but in the past twenty-seven years he has only gained a few sporadic roles, which have not allowed him to excel and achieve his dreams.

He also wrote and directed a romantic comedy based on his stage experience and roles, but like his career as an actor, he didn't make much progress in the end.

"Christopher, please wait!"

Christoph Waltz, who was about to leave, turned to look at a young man waving at him.

"You're looking for me?" Christopher Waltz looked at Chen Tian and asked.

"Like, I'm looking for you, can you come down and talk? I would like to ask you to star in my work. ”

"Starring in your work?" Christopher Waltz looked at Chen Tian seriously, he had no impression of Chen Tian, so naturally he couldn't recognize Chen Tian.

Looking at Chen Tian's young appearance, he didn't believe Chen Tian's words: "Man, do you think you can deceive an old guy like me?" ”

Chen Tian shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "Christopher, do you think I'm joking?" You may not know me, but I'm a director.

If you still don't believe me, you can google it, and then you will know if what I am telling is true or false. ”

Looking at Christopher Waltz's defensive eyes: "By the way, my name is Justin Chen, I currently direct one buried alive, and I recently completed two films.

A "Little Sunshine Beauty", a "Hard Candy", and the documentary "Super Burger King", which I produced and wrote, was just released yesterday. ”

Although Christopher Waltz did not know Chen Tian, he also knew that the film was buried alive and had been to the theater.

Looking at Chen Tian in the audience, he couldn't believe what was in front of him.

After nearly 30 years of waiting, he never imagined that a director would take the initiative to ask him to play a role, even if the role may still be a trick.
