Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Life-Changing Opportunity [Second Update]
I came back late, thank my patriotic brother for the reward, and then shamefully ask for a recommendation ticket!
――
This news was seen by Chen Tian in the "New York Times" in 2010, and it mainly talks about the dilemma of some celebrities before they become famous.
Roughly means that if you want to be famous in Hollywood, you must not only work hard yourself, but also rely on luck and perseverance.
Chen Tian was most impressed by James Cameron, who he had beaten before, and he was a very ordinary truck driver before becoming a super director.
This is also the true origin of James Cameron's title of "Card God", not because of Cameron's card that he is called "Card God".
Superstars Bruce Willis and Cameron were once peers, and "heartthrob" Brad Pitt's job was to help strippers drive to collect money.
Channing Tatum even danced a striptease in a strip hall, and at this moment, Tim Sushett's Joe Hamm is very similar to the Joe Hamm in this report.
In particular, Tim Sushet said that this man was synonymous with handsome men in the sixties, which is more in line with the news report.
"Could it be the same Joe Hamm who relied on Mad Men to conquer the hearts of countless women around the world?" Chen Tian couldn't help but think.
"Tim, do you have his contact information? If that's what you said, try him. ”
"Yes, I'll send it to you later, but he should be working right now, and you know a lot of underground movies start working at this time.
I haven't seen him in a while, and the specifics aren't very clear. ”
"No problem, give me the contact information, and I'll take a look, maybe I can go and see it, if it's really good, then he's it." ”
Hung up, and soon Tim Sushet sent the contact information of Joe Hamm.
As Suschet said, Joe Hamm was working in a studio in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles at the time.
Perhaps out of curiosity about underground films, or desperate to determine who to choose the set designer, Chen Tian subconsciously took a taxi to Joe Hamm's filming location.
In Los Angeles, the mecca of films, there are thousands of film companies, in addition to those large film companies, there are also thousands of small film companies.
Some are regular film companies, and some don't even have official licenses.
And these companies that don't even have a formal license often have only one way to survive, and that's adult movies.
Compared to the regular adult film companies, these illegal companies are more likely to shoot secretly at night.
Looking at the darkly lit streets and the buildings that radiated bright lights, Chen Tian knew that this Joe Hamm's crew was such an illegal company.
When Chen Tian walked in, the dog at the door barked at Chen Tian a few times.
"Man, I'm not a badass. Chen Tian said to the dog, and a tall black man soon walked out of the building.
A large man of almost two meters, with a fierce expression on his face.
"Dude, this is not a place for you to come casually. ”
"I didn't come by random, I was looking for Joe Hamm, and I had already called him in advance. ”
"Joe Hamm, that white softass, come in!" the black man snorted disdainfully, turning and walking inside.
Bypassing a walkway, Chen Tian saw the warehouse.
The huge roller shutter door was pulled up by the black man, and a large bed in the corner was visible.
However, the queen bed is arranged around the bedroom to look like a bedroom, or at least it looks very nicely furnished.
"Hamm, this guy said he was coming for you. The black man pointed to Chen Tian behind him.
"Dude, you actually found this place, it's not a good place. Joe Hamm looked at Chen Tian in surprise.
Chen Tian also looked closely at Joe Hamm, a name that would later become the face of the American advertising industry and old-school men in the '60s.
His old-fashioned handsome appearance, which is wishfully believed by Hollywood and global fans, comes from the modern man's nostalgia and imagination for the best of times and retro men.
Although he was wearing white T-sleeves at the moment, his clothes looked dirty, but Chen Tian could still feel the temperament of wearing a suit on his body.
"Mad Men", a TV series that has swept the world, Chen Tian has watched several seasons and is deeply impressed by Dan Draber played by Joe Hamm.
This man, who was thought by the media and fans to be a "suit" born for him, is coming to him at this moment.
Chen Tian finally understood why Joe Hamm later wore a suit to reveal that weather-beaten and time-rich charm.
If it weren't for this low ebb experience, perhaps there would not be Joe Hamm, who was later known as the most beautiful man in a suit.
When Joe Hamm walked up to Chen Tian, a woman walked out not far away, wearing the kind of one-piece net suit that stretched from her feet to her neck.
Without any covering, the towering parts look particularly attractive.
Retracting his gaze, Chen Tian looked at Joe Hamm: "I don't know if Tim told you that I am the Justin Chen who wants to find you as the set designer of the crew." ”
"I thought it was Tim joking, are you sure? Joe Hamm said with a smile.
"Of course it wasn't April Fool's Day, but I changed my mind. ”
Seeing Joe Hamm's instantly disappointed expression, Chen Tian laughed: "I will invite you to be the leading actor of my new film." ”
"It's not funny at all, it's even a humiliation for me. ”
Although Joe Hamm has not completely lost confidence in his acting career, he has not had many expectations.
Although the current job is tiring and unspeakable, it is a good income for him to earn a few hundred dollars a day.
Regarding Chen Tian's words, he subconsciously thought that it was a joke, or even a humiliation to him.
Chen Tian looked at Joe Hamm and said seriously: "No, it's not a joke.
I'm not a casual joker, and to be honest, I already have a plan for the male lead.
But seeing you, I decided to change that mind, and if you want, I would like to invite you to be the set designer for my new film, and at the same time play the male lead.
But this requires an audition, and if you can impress me, I'll give you this male lead.
If you don't want to, you're just the set designer for my new film. ”
Originally, Chen Tian didn't have this idea, but when he saw Joe Hamm offer to invite him, Chen Tian felt that Joe Hamm might be able to try the role of the male number one Jeff.
In the script, Jeff is a 32-year-old single man who is also a photographer with a successful career.
Decent, Sven, and friendly, and Joe Hamm in front of him is very consistent with the characteristics of these male No. 1 Jeffs plus age, compared to Greg who is a little sunny.
Although Joe Hamm is a loser now, his acting skills in Mad Men are superb.
However, Chen Tian doesn't know what those Joe Hamm fans in later generations would think if they knew that Joe Hamm played this perverted role.
"Justin, are you sure it's not a joke?"
After more than a decade of failure, Joe Hamm couldn't believe that this opportunity had come suddenly.
"Of course not, but if your audition doesn't work out, all I can say is sorry, but I want to tell you that you fit the role perfectly. Chen Tian looked at Joe Hamm and said.
"I'm willing to accept it. ”
The 32-year-old has a feeling that this is an opportunity that could change his life.
