Chen Tian took Scarlett's hand and walked up from the backstage, and the audience gave bursts of applause.
"Look, what a loving couple, Justin and Scarlett welcome you to the Oprah talk show. Op stretched out his hand.
"Thank you for the invitation, we're big fans of it, it's been a dream thing to be here, and now it's finally happening. Chen Tian said with a smile.
"Really? It seems that my show is not bad, can you ask if you came up with the script buried alive or did you have Scarlett first?"
Chen Tian and Scarlett glanced at each other, and they had already thought of the answer to this question: "First there was a script, and then there was her, it was she that I dared to try, and it turned out that it was the most correct thing for me to meet her, maybe this is God's will." ”
……
Each episode of Oprah's talk show ended up being 45 minutes long, but Chen Tian and Scarlett recorded it for a full 60 minutes, and eventually cut a little bit and played it.
After the recording, Chen Tian flew back to Los Angeles to cast the Sunshine Beauty, while Scarlett flew back to New York and returned to the crew.
"How did you meet?" Oprah, who was sitting on the couch, asked with a smile.
"If we say it was love at first sight on the Las Vegas Strip, would you believe it?" said Scarlett, looking at Oprah.
"Love at first sight? in Las Vegas, and then you go straight to the civil court, oh, it can't really be what I said, right?" Oprah made an exaggerated expression.
Scarlett smiled unabashedly: "Yes, that's it, doesn't it sound a little ridiculous, but in fact, that's how I met him." ”
"It's incredible, can I ask who proposed first? Someone has to come up first, right, don't tell me you two made this decision together. ”
"I brought it up first. Scarlett, who was wearing a khaki shirt and white vest and JBrand jeans, covered her mouth and looked at Chen Tian.
"It's like acting, it's like the real thing. Melanie Sloan couldn't help but quip.
"Mom. Scarlett Johansson glanced at Melanie Sloan in a coquettish voice.
At the moment, what is playing on the TV is the Oprah talk show they recorded, but it is not the TV version, but the original version that Oprah gave them after recording the show.
"Justin, I heard that she almost had an accident for this play, why did she appear in that coffin, and you didn't read the weather forecast?"
"No, and you know that it rarely rains in Los Angeles, let alone when it's raining heavily, so I didn't pay attention to the weather forecast. ”
"I can't blame him for that, I couldn't find that feeling when I was acting, and then James told me about it, and I thought I could give it a try, but he didn't agree, but I was very persistent and I succeeded. ”
"Justin, in fact, you want her to do this in your heart, right?
Chen Tian raised his hands: "Okay, you saw through it." ”
"You've let me down so much. Scarlett punched Chen Tian, and everyone looked like they were showing affection.
Melanie Sloan looked at it seriously, and Christian Sloan on the side was more concerned about his brother-in-law Chen Tian, and his little head was thinking about whether this brother-in-law would love him as much as his sister.
"Will you continue to work together, but I know she has a lot of films?" Oprah asked with a smile.
"If there's the right opportunity, definitely, but it needs to be based on the script. Chen Tian replied truthfully, at least for the time being, there is no suitable role for Scarlett in his recent plans.
"Justin, I heard that you're working on a second film, and you've contacted Julia Roberts, it should be a big production, right?"
"It's a big production for me, but it's still a small production in the eyes of others. ”
"Can you tell us a little bit about that? I think there will be a lot of people looking forward to it. ”
Chen Tian shrugged: "Then I don't need to give the program team a sponsorship fee, right?"
Oprah was also stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Of course, of course you don't need to, but I won't mind if you want to." ”
"It's the story of a family, a family in charge of a large family, where everyone has their own problems and quarrels every day, but they squeeze into a battered car for the beauty pageant dream of Oliver, the little girl in the family, and start the journey. ”
"Road comedy family inspirational film?"
"It can also be counted as such, and can I really use this show to advertise?"
Scarlett couldn't help but laugh when she saw this, she had no idea what Chen Tian would say during the rehearsal beforehand.
"Are you sure you want to?"
"If you can. ”
With Oprah's approval, Chen Tian sat up straight: "What I just said is the simple plot of my new movie, it sounds very old-fashioned, but it will definitely be an excellent movie."
Now I need a heroine, the specific requirement is a little girl between about 7-10 years old, there is no specific requirement for appearance, as long as you meet this condition, you can contact, if I think it is suitable, I will notify the interview. ”
"Okay, Justin, you have a long ad, why don't you go to the Screen Actors Guild?"
"I'll go, but I'm sure there are still a lot of good little guys who aren't in it, as long as they have a dream, I welcome them to come and try it, and if it really impresses me, then I don't care if she has acted in movies and TV will get this opportunity. ”
"As long as there is a dream, this guy. Melanie Sloan chuckled softly.
When the 60-minute show on the disc was over, Melanie Sloan looked at Scarlett: "It looks great, I hope you keep it up, go to bed early, you have to fly to New Orleans early tomorrow to continue working." ”
and Los Angeles, which spans almost the entire United States in New York, Chen Tian is writing the character requirements, and he needs to go to the Screen Actors Guild tomorrow to find actors for "Little Sunshine Beauty".
One of the most important characters is Oliver, who was originally inclined to Emma Roberts, even if Emma Roberts was a little older.
Later, Chen Tian also considered the original protagonist Abigier Bryslin, and now Abigier Bryslin is a real child star, but the other party has no schedule.
So Chen Tian could only give up, so he sent out an advertisement on the show, but he didn't know if he would keep it when it was finally broadcast.
The most important role besides Oliver is Grandpa, this role in the original film belongs to Alan Arkin, and he unexpectedly won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this role.
However, Alan Arkin is not a star in later generations or now, and the only person who is a little famous in the whole film is Steve Carell, who plays Oliver's uncle Frank.
He was hailed by the media as a promising third national comedy star after Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller, but his star career was not smooth at this time, and he did not become famous until he starred in the American drama "Office" next year.
After delineating the key roles, Chen Tian closed the folder: "I hope everything goes well tomorrow." ”
Early the next morning, Chen Tian arrived in Hollywood, a northwestern suburb of Los Angeles, where the headquarters of major film companies are located, and is not only a tourist attraction but also a mecca for filmmakers.
Today he is not here to play but to find the actor of the sunny little beauty, and his destination is the actors' union.
