As soon as Wagner said this, Tom Cruise immediately glared, stood up directly from the bench and shouted excitedly: "Absolutely not, Wagner~!" Absolutely not~! You must not look for him~!! ”
There's a reason why Tom Cruise is suddenly so excited, Jack Nicholson, an actor known as the "acting devil", is probably a supporting actor that any actor would fear, because as long as he plays a supporting role in a movie, all the male protagonists in it will be eclipsed.
Jack Nicholson, who was selected by the American Film Institute (AFI) as the top 50 screen villains for his role in "The Silence of the Lambs", once played opposite Tom Cruise in "The Heroes of the Sea...... And that was the worst nightmare of Tom Cruise's acting career.
This "acting devil" put his arm around his shoulders every day, and called him "Little Tommy" in his ear with that piercing dumb voice, which makes Tom Cruise still feel shudder when he looks back on it, and he almost finished this movie with his tail between his legs, which has left a huge psychological shadow since then...... I no longer dare to say a word to this "acting devil".
Jack Nicholson...... is indeed a good candidate, but this "acting devil" is not only Tom Cruise scared, even Li Xiaole feels that he is a little out of control, if this "acting devil" really comes, I am afraid that this superhero movie will change its taste, his horror atmosphere is too strong...... It's still a bit out of place.
"Okay, I didn't say it......" Wagner saw that the two of them looked embarrassed, and could only shrug his shoulders, but he felt a little inexplicably happy in his heart, she originally knew that Tom Cruise could not agree, and proposed this candidate to scare and scare Li Xiaole, it turns out that this omnipotent Chinese kid also has people who are afraid...... He finally reacted like a normal person.
But now they also feel a little big, isn't there a middle-aged actor in the United States who is suitable for Obadiah Stein?
The three of them can only continue to look through the actor information in their hands, hoping to find a suitable candidate, an actor over 40 years old with a strong figure and good acting skills...... flipped through the pages, and finally saw the photos of the famous and extremely fit actors, which made the eyes of the three of them light up, Li Xiaole felt a little familiar, and then looked at the following information:
Jason Statham (born 12 September 1967) is a retired athlete of the British national diving team who won a bronze medal in the diving competition at the Seoul Olympics in 1988. In 1992, he represented Great Britain in the 12th Shijie Diving Championship and finished 12th.
In 1998, he starred in Guy Ritchie's crime movie "Two Big Smoking Guns" and entered the showbiz. In 2002, he served as the leading actor in the movie "Very Human Trafficker" series of films.
Li Xiaole finally overlapped the person in the photo with the figure in his memory, oh, it turned out to be him, this actor is good...... I have the impression that Jason Statham played the killer in "The Mechanic" very well, but he feels a little more restrained, although he is tall and muscular, but his eyes are very gentle, which is more suitable for the role of iron man and tenderness......
Let's keep it for now, Li Xiaole and the three of them continue to look to see if there is a more suitable one, so as soon as they continue to look, more and more candidates continue to pop up, but unfortunately they are not amazing, Dwayne Johnson is still too tender, Michael Douglas is too bigwig, Philip Seymour Hoffman is too short, and Kevin Costner is too handsome......
The three of them flipped through the information in the office, and picked out no less than ten actors in a whole day, Li Xiaole's mood was also mixed, Hollywood's rich actor resources really made him breathtaking, among the tens of thousands of actors, the actors he finally selected were all temporary choices, but each of them was not completely selected, and there were shortcomings of one kind or another.
In fact, Tom Cruise and Wagner think that many candidates are very good, and they can't understand what Li Xiaole is obsessed with, but it's just a superhero movie, is it so strict with villains?
After watching for about half an hour, Li Xiaole felt that his eyes were a little tired, leaned on the bench and closed his eyes and pondered, but his mood was very relaxed, to be honest, although he did not choose a very suitable actor, but he could choose actors of Michael Douglas and Jason Statham by himself, just this feeling made him feel that he was worth it as a director.
Hollywood is such a place, when a haode movie starts to be filmed, coupled with an excellent script, it can attract countless good actors, and any supporting role will be a household name.
The fact is that all the good actors of Shijie have gathered here, creating the glory of Hollywood, compared to the fact that there are too few movies shot in Hollywood every day, how lucky the director is to be a producer here, Li Xiaole sighed infinitely in his heart, thinking that it is no wonder that all directors squeezed their heads to develop in the United States.
It's not just the external factors such as money and career prospects, just being able to work with the most haode actor group on Shijie is enough to make directors from other countries on Shijie haunted by their dreams, and he now thinks of the shabby days in China and South Korea... It all felt far away.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaole slapped his face again, and continued to return to the work of selecting actors full of energy, I don't know how long it took, when he was still hesitating between several candidates, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, and it was Kailin, the secretary of the reception room, who pushed the door in.
"Boss, a gentleman came to the reception room, he didn't make an appointment, he said that he wanted to come to discuss the film project, we asked him to call you first, but he said that you couldn't get through the phone, and he had been waiting for you outside for two hours."
Li Xiaole's mobile phone is usually turned off when he is working, and he usually does not answer the phone, and recently Black Pearl Lianmei is in the limelight, just like Lionsgate in the future, it has become the most desirable place for independent filmmakers.
Li Xiaole has also received a lot of independent producers recently, but almost all of them are bad scripts, bad projects, and the review mode of the six major ones is quite rigorous, and the ones they exclude are basically bad scripts, and it is difficult to find anything promising from them.
"Tell him I'm going to be busy until late today." Li Xiaole frowned and waved his hand, now he is so busy that he has time to deal with any independent filmmakers......
"Well, I understand, boss......" Just as Kelly opened the door and was about to go out, suddenly a strong figure came in from outside the door and stomped on the door with one kick.
Li Xiaole, Tom Cruise, and Wagner were all stunned, and at the same time, they all looked back and saw the strong man wearing a baseball cap and huge sunglasses.
Although the man was not too tall, the thick body and thick arms under the oversized jacket were very amazing, and from a distance, this guy looked like a gangster who was mixed up in the streets of Los Angeles, and he could pull out a gun at any time......
"What are you going to do? It's a private place. Tom Cruise jumped in front of Wagner and motioned for her to step back, yelling at the man, "If you don't go out, I'm going to call the police." ”
"I'm just here to talk about business, so there's no need to be so nervous." The white man said in a deep, deep voice, his pronunciation distinctly slurred.
"Kailin, you go out and call the security first." Tom Cruise yelled at the female secretary.
"Little Tommy, don't drive me first, I'm really here to talk about business, my time is also precious, I really can't wait." The strong man shrugged his shoulders helplessly, stepped into the room, took off his baseball cap, patted his jacket, and removed his sunglasses.
The moment he took off his sunglasses, everyone else in the room was immediately stunned, and the corners of his drooping eyes ...... There is also a resolute and stiff face, a crooked mouth, and this muscle...... This is not who Hollywood legendary action superstar Sylvester Stallone is~~
"Sylvester? Why are you here~" Wagner looked surprised, and went over to hug Stallone, Tom Cruise watched from the side, obviously showing a displeased expression.
Li Xiaole was also surprised, he didn't expect that the independent filmmaker who came to him would be the legendary action star Stallone? Seeing "Rambo" who fought bloodily in the TV as a child at such a distance made his head stunned.
"Wagner~ It's been a long time, even if you're not my agent, you should call me more often......" Stallone and Wagner smiled and hugged each other, turned his head and smiled at Tom Cruise, and didn't seem to take him much in his eyes and said, "You don't need to call security now, right?" Little Tommy. ”
"Hello, Mr. Stallone." Tom Cruise smiled appreciatively and held out his hand.
"Hello, little Tommy." Stallone went up but just like a child, slapped his hand lightly with his fist, and smiled crookedly.
Tom Cruise just stiffened his face and smiled dryly, although he felt very uncomfortable but he couldn't help it, he hadn't entered the industry when Stallone became famous, and his seniority was poor, Stallone was definitely qualified to call him "Little Tommy".
Even the secretary Kailin can see the relationship between the three, Wagner, the gold agent, seems to have worked for Stallone before, and now he is Tom Cruise's exclusive agent, so Tom Cruise saw Stallone's expression as if he saw his "wife and ex-husband", and the relationship between the three was easy to understand.
And when Tom Cruise greeted Stallone, Wagner and Li Xiaole glanced at each other in unison, and they all had one thought in their hearts:
"Isn't Stallone the best choice for Obadiah Stein!?"
