It's a pity that they probably never dreamed that neither Theolod nor the director and producer of the film had the idea of rushing to the Olympics. So no matter how cynical the outside media ridiculed him for making a wrong move, no matter how anxious his fans were to maintain Theorod's rightful status, the incident himself didn't really care.

Marshall didn't expect Theorod to agree so simply after meeting with Ted, but he was a smart man, with his understanding of Theorod, he didn't need Theorod to remind him to understand that he didn't have his eyes on the Oscar at all, This is a script that interests and challenges him, and the director doesn't seem to be as useless as the outside world says, which is enough for him.

Looking at the entire entertainment industry, probably only Theolod has always gone his own way and disdained the Oscars. Marshall knew that he could not persuade him to succeed, so he took the initiative to release the news and actively arranged to use public relations to minimize the impact of this incident on Theorod.

Marshall did a good job, coupled with Theorod's fearless and chic posture of eating and playing, those who clamored to watch the show, such as Mr. Sean Thorpe, who once directly threatened Theorod to miss the Oscar, He once said, "Our youngest actor seems to be preparing to retire at the age of twenty-three, but unfortunately he can only appear as a spectator at next year's Oscar - if he is lucky." Now that he can't arouse the anger of this first-line superstar, he can only secretly scold the other party for being a coward.

However, the film critics and media did not stop for long after hitting a soft nail, and suddenly another opportunity appeared in front of them, and it was Sean Thorpe, the main force of the "Anti-Theo Rod Lecht Alliance", who broke out personally, and the sea of gossip that had not subsided for a while set off stormy waves again.

It all started with Marshall's phone call a few days ago. At that time, he was comfortably nestled in his home theater and watching a video with popcorn in his hand, but Marshall suddenly called, and Theolod thought he was looking for him for some new endorsement or advertising street photography, but he told him in a mysterious tone, like a street vendor:

'Theo, I have a new movie here, would you like to see it?' Listening to his tone, Theolod, who was stuffing popcorn and drinking freshly squeezed juice, could imagine the expression on his face at this time, which must have been full of malicious or obscene/trivial smiles.

So he said without hesitation: "Don't listen, don't look." With that, he hung up.

Soon Marshall called again, and this time he was much more normal: 'You damn bastard, how dare you hang up on me?' Do you know who approached you to make a new film? Am I not doing this for your own good? I'll tell you that the next time you do this, I'll rush to your home theater and take you out and beat you up. ’

"Normal?" Theorod didn't care about Marshall's threat of no substantive moves, "It's normal." I thought my new film was the same biopic of the big drug lord, and now you've got me another script, is it the sun coming out of the west or did you accidentally hit your head? ”

'Don't talk nonsense, how can I possibly schedule two movies on the same schedule as you?' I wanted to push it for you, but the other party said that I could postpone the filming time for you, and wait for you to finish this part. Marshall explained, suddenly lowering his voice and saying in bad spirits, "You must not know who is trying to shoot you, and if you do, you might jump up from your lazy couch with joy." ’

“…… If you hang people's appetites again, I'll hang up. ”

'No, well, it's Ang Lee. ’

“…… Who? Theolod didn't jump up from the lazy couch at the name, but he sat up straight, pressed the pause button, and placed the popcorn and juice in his arms on the coffee table.

‘ang lee！ It's the Chinese director you said you wanted to work with him when you had the chance! ’

Theolod was a little surprised, he just met the Chinese director on the red carpet last month, and expressed his intention to cooperate, but he didn't expect that this month had not passed, and the other party came to the door, it seems that he didn't want to rest for long after returning from the Oscar and was ready to put into a new job. Theolod thought about it and decided to listen to Marshall's specific words before making a decision.

'The investment producer is Universal Pictures, you know, it's a big client, and the movie is featuring the Marvel Comics superhero Hulk. Did you know the Hulk? It's that big green angry monster that is almost a household name in the United States, and it can be said that this movie has countless fan bases before it is released. ’

In fact, when Warner made several Batman movies in the last century, Universal was exploring the business opportunity of putting superheroes in comics on the big screen, and finally they chose the Hulk and invited Golden Globe Award for Best Director and Oscar Best Director nominee Ang Lee. What do you think? This is a movie that only makes money, not loses. ’

Marshall said confidently, he thought Theorod would agree, after all, he knew his love for that Chinese director, but he didn't expect that Theorod, who was silent for a moment, did not hesitate and even said to him with a sigh: "Help me push it off directly." ”

'Push it off? Why? Marshall was stunned, apparently not expecting Theorod's reaction.

"You told the people at Universal that I had to refuse because of schedule issues, and said that I wanted to take a vacation after filming the biopic." Theolod rubbed the bridge of his nose.

'That's it? ’

“…… Well, let me tell you this, Marshall, I admire that Chinese director not because of his character or because I want to open up the Asian market, but because I appreciate his style, his cinematic substance. I once told him I wanted him to stick to it, but it was clear that the Hulk wasn't the right movie for him. He may be able to fit his style perfectly into other films in general, but a work like the Hulk, with a distinct die-hard fan base and history, is not feasible to shoot simply according to his method. ”

"It's like asking Quentin Tarantino to do "Titanic" or "Alrest Gump" to ask Hitchcock to do "Forrest Gump", you know what I mean? I hope to have the opportunity to work with Ang Lee, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up my principles about cinema and work with him. I wish I was a part of the birth of a great work of art, and maybe I was too strict with the film, but that's my bottom line. ”

"Maybe I'm wrong this time, maybe that director Ang Lee is actually an all-round director, but for now, if he's going to shoot the Hulk, then I'm sorry I can only say that I will work together next time."

Marshall finally understood that Theorod wanted to collaborate on a perfect work by Ang Lee, not a film that could not play Ang Lee's talent at all and could not fit him perfectly. It seems that no matter when, from beginning to end, this child's original intention and principle of dedication to movies and acting have not changed, even if he has now become an actor.

"I'm sure you can help you deal with the Universal side, as for Director Ang Lee...... I guess I'd better give him a call myself, so as not to misunderstand him. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell him what I just told you, at least not so bluntly, that would be too rude, wouldn't it? ”

After Theolod and Marshall finished the call, he immediately dialed the phone from Marshall, and after a polite greeting, he politely said that he was afraid that he would not be able to cooperate with the other party this time, and explained his reasons, and very vaguely said that maybe a movie like the Hulk is not very suitable for the other party.

Theorod, who has been in Hollywood for most of his life, naturally speaks in a watertight manner, and Ang Lee himself is a gentle and elegant Oriental man, he can tell whether the other party is kind or malicious, and he can understand what Theorod has to say. Naturally, he could not be dissatisfied with the actor's demanding requirements for film works, in fact, Theolod has always shown enough respect and recognition for him.

So it is not surprising that this conversation has a happy beginning and a happy ending, and Theorod still shows his full intention to cooperate.

Although Universal expressed pity for Theorod's refusal, they didn't have to be Theorod, in fact, if it wasn't for Ang Lee's mention, they would probably find another actor. However, they will not give up this opportunity, and when Theorod refused, they expressed the hope that Theorod would not release the news.

Marshall and Theorod understand each other's attempts at hype, which is all too common in Hollywood. Universal has announced its new film plan "The Incredible Hulk" and released the news that Theorod is the gossip actor of this historic hero film.

It's a pity that their secrecy is not very good, just when Marvel comic book fans are surprised and excited by the news these days, Sean Thorpe claims to have received news from an internal informant in Universal - Theolod Lecht rejected the film shot by Ang Lee, the Golden Globe and Oscar-winning director who has just passed, and on the premise that Universal is willing to consider Theorod's schedule.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately became lively. Theolod frankly admitted at the live broadcast of the ABC Oscars that he wanted to cooperate with this Chinese director, and it hasn't been a month since then, why did he suddenly turn back on his words and refuse someone else's invitation? Isn't this a slap in the face?

Unexpectedly, Theolod, who has been slapping others in the face all these years, was slapped in the face for the first time, and he did it himself.

At this time, Marshall knew that it was pointless to question the Globe, and he could only curse the damn villain Sean Thorpe and wipe Theolod's ass incessantly. This incident also angered a minority of Chinese American groups, who thought that Theorod was not trustworthy and just attracted attention on TV, but in fact, when Ang Lee really invited, he talked about him left and right, not because Ang Lee was a yellow race, he was racist!

If you get it into racism, it's a lot of fun.

The author has something to say: In fact, if it weren't for the Hulk, Ang Lee might have filmed Terminator 3

Suddenly, I really want to watch Ang Lee's giant version of the Terminator......

and the release time of the Hulk was brought forward by me by a year

And now, this "American Drug Lord" is not the point, and it won't be written for long, and the focus is on the next one

Yes, it's the back back mountain that was written badly_(:3ゝ∠)_ 166 reading network
