Chapter 88

88. Fanwai 1: "One Flew Over the Asylum" 1

"Kurt, we've been auditioning for six months now, and the investors are already very dissatisfied." Assistant director Tom Pitt said to the man in front of him with a dull face.

"One more thing to do," said the man known as Kurt, who said in a low tone, "the actor has not yet been decided." ”

"I think George was good last time, he has a talent for acting, doesn't he? Whether it's expressions or feelings, it's enough to support this movie, you know. Tom didn't understand why Kurt had to keep it down, when he had someone who was up to the task, and what he was struggling with.

"No...... No......" Kurt's voice trembled a little, "he ...... Not the best. ”

"The best, God, do you have the male lead in mind? You name it, you have to give it a try, whoever it is, you have to get this damn movie on. Tom said, there is a breakthrough, this is better than Kurt is reluctant to say anything, unwilling to turn on, unconsciously go to the audition every day, almost everyone knows that Kurt is in the fugue every day at the audition, oh Jesus, he also pulled the whole crew to accompany him in the fugue, if it weren't for the fact that he is the most famous director in country A in recent years, the investor would have withdrawn his investment a long time ago.

Kurt's facial expression trembled, and he seemed to be engaged in a heated argument with himself, and suddenly, he looked up and looked at Pete, his gaze was like that of a vulture in the desert: "Yes, you're right, you're so right." ”

Kurt almost jumped to his feet, he entered the house and was ready to pack his luggage, he dragged a few changes of T-shirts and trousers out of his closet almost as fast as he could, casually packed them in his suitcase, and then began to look for his ID and passport......

Tom was stunned by his mobility, what did he do some time ago?

"God......" Tom dodged Kurt's clothes that had fallen on the floor, picked up the wallet on his cupboard and handed it to him, God knows how Kurt had made his beautiful house what it is now, "you have to tell me first, who is that man you have in mind, right?" Otherwise, how can I explain it to you. ”

Taking the wallet that Tom handed him and putting it in his pocket, Kurt was still wondering if he had left anything behind: "Oh, yes, I'm going to make a phone call and book a plane ticket to China." ”

As he spoke, Kurt picked up his phone and called his assistant: "Hey, I want a ticket to China, yes, today, oh only first class?" It's okay, that's it, right the fastest, an hour later? Damn, hopefully there won't be a traffic jam, okay, well, that's all. ”

Oh, Huaguo...... Huaguo? Huaguo! Σ(°△°|||) ︴

"You mean...... The actor you want ......" Tom was a little shocked.

"Yes, that's him, Sue." Kurt said that he understood his friend's shock, if it weren't for the high difficulty, he wouldn't have struggled for so long, this movie was inspired by Su Yunshen's last interview meeting that year, in Kurt's mind, only Su Yunshen is the best candidate, no matter how good the others are, they are just spare tires.

"Are you crazy too?! You know, he hasn't taken the film since the final interview, it's been three whole years, and he's called back all the invitations, even Chris Gable's invitation! Tom exclaimed, this is simply delusional, "They all said that he couldn't do it, he couldn't film anymore." ”

"No, it won't, if that's the case, will Gaibo give him an invitation? Sue, an actor like him is like the most beautiful and flawless gem, under the polish of the years, his acting skills will only be more lean, and he will only be more perfect. Kurt retorted to his friend who, as a director, had studied the acting skills of actors, and that every good methodist actor was an ever-increasing asset to them, and they constantly absorbed every bit of emotion in life and used it to improve themselves.

"Even so...... Tom tried to stop Kurt, which seemed to him to be almost stupid.

"You asked me to give it a try!"

"......&%¥#" Tom was so blocked by Kurt's words that he didn't know what to say, and Kurt, who finished saying that, just left Tom with a neat and chic back, Tom spread his hands and said to himself, "Okay, just take it as a grind." ”

After Kurt was rejected and came back, he had no reason to refuse George, which should be regarded as a tribulation before the start-up, and only hoped that it would be smooth after the start-up, although the investors let themselves reconcile, anyway, they had waited for six months, so it didn't matter these days, to be honest, Tom also hated those people who didn't understand anything and liked to point fingers, looking arrogant.

On the other hand, Kurt finally arrived at the airport and boarded the plane smoothly, thank God, the absence of traffic jams is simply amazing, Kurt has a hunch that this time he will definitely be very smooth!

Hunch: Huh.

Kurt has never felt that the plane is such a long means of transportation for a moment as he is now, he can hardly stop for a moment, and he keeps thinking about what it is like to see Su Yunshen, how he is going to persuade Su Yunshen to join this crew, what is most exciting in Kurt's heart is that he will immediately show this script to Su Yunshen, this feeling is like ...... You snap a beautiful woman on the side of the road, and then you're ready to hook up with the beauty with this photo, and even more excited, it's not a simple photo!

The passenger sitting next to Kurt looked at this excited middle-aged man almost with the same eyes as looking at Fukai Bing, so excited, at first glance, he was going to face the base, look at a big beard, so sloppy, he must be a light death!

Kurt arrived in Huaguo around the early hours of the morning, he went to the hotel first, his assistant had already solved all his itinerary accommodation, in the hotel, Kurt still looked energetic, at first he was really excited and couldn't sleep, to the back, and he was afraid that after he fell asleep, he missed Donghuang's work time, he read his script all night, thought of countless reasons to impress Su Yunshen, and finally couldn't bear the sleepiness and closed his eyes.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......"

Kurt was woken up by the ringing and vibration of his cell phone in his pocket, and when he saw it, it was bad! It's almost ten o'clock qaq It is said that Su Yunshen's agent is only in Donghuang in the morning, if you miss the morning, you have to wait until tomorrow, Kurt almost grabbed the script and ran, he seems to have forgotten something, hey, I can't remember what it is, it shouldn't be very important_(:3ゝ∠)_

Dear Director Kurt forgot to wash and change clothes......

So, the beautiful young lady at the front desk saw such a person, dressed after nine o'clock on the plane, clothes like salted vegetables, and dark brown bird's nest-like hair, dark black eye bags, such a face almost frightened the young lady.

"Excuse me......" Because there are more stars in Donghuang, the sisters at the front desk often discuss the dresses of the stars together, and the big names are more familiar than the average sister paper, although the shape worn by this sloppy-looking foreign middle-aged man is rubbed so that she can't see the shape clearly, but she still recognizes that this should be the specific of the latest season of Gyrd.

"I'm looking for Yan Yuan." Kurt immediately said, his Chinese pronunciation is a little strange, but the front desk lady still heard it, who in the agent does not envy Yan Yuan, now only in his twenties, and there is only Su Yunshen under him as an artist, but Yan Yuan is now a quasi-A-level agent, and many stars secretly want to jump to Yan Yuan's men.

Since Donghuang was delisted, who doesn't know that now this is Wei Yancheng's Yiyantang, and the two brothers of the Yan family are Wei Yancheng's right-hand men, and Yan Yuan will sooner or later take the position of the head of the agent.

"Do you have an appointment?" The front desk lady still maintains her professional smile.

"Yes! We had an appointment at half past nine, my flight was late, he may have canceled, I just came from the airport, you can help me call and ask, I really have something. Cotter said again and again, fortunately, no one in the entire hall knew this so-called famous director, and there was no way to debunk these lies.

The front desk lady had no choice, and she was also worried about the delay: "Okay, I'll help you ask." ”

"Hey, hello, there is a gentleman at the front desk here......"

Before the front desk lady finished speaking, the phone was snatched up by Kurt: "Hi, hello, I'm Kurt Johnson, the same Johnson who filmed "Sea Magician", I have a script here, I hope to find an actor from your company!" ”

The front desk where the phone was robbed: ...... All Tema routines!

In the end, Johnson still met Yan Yuan with his reputation, the agent who was said to have picked up Su Yunshen was incredibly young as his artist, and he even gave people a sense of student spirit when he thought about it.

"Director Johnson, it's a pleasure to meet you, I heard that you want to work with the actors of our company, I can give you the contact of the general manager of the agent, or you want to tell me directly which actor I am so lucky." Even when Yan Yuan saw Johnson's sloppy appearance, his face still did not change.

"Yes, I have a script, you can read it first." Johnson handed the script to Yan Yuan, wanting him to take a look at it first, if the agent agreed, it should be much easier.

But after Yan Yuan's results, he put it directly in his hand: "If I'm not mistaken, let me guess first, you fancy Su Yunshen." ”

Yan Yuan had already thought that Johnson was not the first director to find him in front of him, but he couldn't just let an internationally renowned director go back, so that Donghuang's actors didn't want to mix abroad, but this one seemed to be extremely stubborn.

"Yes!" This time Kurt directly agreed, if he didn't say it again, Yan Yuan would have enough reason to dump him to someone else.

Yan Yuan smiled slightly: "I'm afraid I can't make a decision on this matter, and now Su Yunshen's many related matters are directly responsible for the president." ”

"Then let me meet him!" Cotter said.

Yan Yuan thought about it for a while and agreed, always feeling that if he didn't agree to him, Johnson wouldn't give up so easily, and sooner or later he would make trouble in front of Wei Yancheng, rather than waiting until that time, it was better to let him see Wei Yancheng now.

"Director Johnson, please come with me," Yan Yuan stood up, and then handed the script to Johnson again, "Your script, I think you still want to hand it over to others." ”

Yan Yuan took Kurt Johnson to the door of Wei Yancheng's office, and at this time, the little secretary at the gate of Wei Yancheng stood up: "Mr. Yan, the president is ready to go back." ”

Yan Yuan naturally knew that after the company stabilized in the past few years, he always commuted to and from work on time, never worked overtime, and rarely socialized, Su Yunshen's three meals a day were all covered by him, Yan Yuan was very worried about what to do if Wei Yancheng left Su Yunshen, but the final result was to blind his single dog eyes.

"Know, soon, won't bother him for long." Yan Yuan said, and as he spoke, he knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard the sound of "please come in" from inside.

Wei Yancheng has already put on his coat, which is not the same as Johnson imagined, Wei Yancheng does not look like a person who is easily confused by beauty, he looks more calm and self-controlled, but there is still aggression in his eyes, which makes everyone who sees him feel helpless and ashamed. It's hard to imagine that this person ended up choosing to spend his life with the artists of his own company.

"This is Kurt Johnson, the director of Country A." Yan Yuan introduced.

Wei Yancheng stretched out his hand: "I have heard of Mr. Johnson's reputation, and I haven't had the opportunity to congratulate you on winning the Leopard Award for Best Director this time, what are you here for?" ”

"I have a movie and want Su Yunshen to participate, this is the script." Johnson shook hands with him, he was not a person without eyesight, and he didn't want to delay others from getting off work, so he immediately made a long story short and handed over the script to Wei Yancheng.

In the past few years, Su Yunshen has been looking for his favorite scripts, but there are too few, there are some that he likes, but he doesn't meet the requirements, you must know that many roles not only have requirements in terms of acting skills, but also have requirements in terms of race and appearance, so they have been put on hold, if this script is suitable, Wei Yancheng doesn't mind Su Yunshen trying it.

"In this way, I'll take it first, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, how about it?" Wei Yancheng glanced at the name of the script "Flying Over the Asylum".

"That's no problem, I just want to ask, I can meet Su Yunshen, I like to watch his movies very much! I'm a fan of his! Johnson's eyes are shining, and in his eyes, Su Yunshen can almost be regarded as a unique acting school.

Wei Yancheng: ...... Made, as soon as I heard about the fans and fans, I thought of the last time I met in the hot spring, and I was so upset, but fortunately, I haven't encountered it since.

"Well, I've asked him if he has time, and if he's interested in your script, I'll ask him to contact you." Wei Yancheng said with a smile.

Yan Yuan: ......

He finally saw two masters who opened their eyes and said nonsense today, just now I heard how this director fooled the front desk lady, and then I heard how Wei Yancheng fooled this director, what can Su Yunshen do, he is idle at home every day playing with ass Sims Hearthstone and so on drugs Okay! In addition to accompanying you to the fitness coach for daily exercise, it is to pick vegetables, okay! I'm too lazy to be like the Garfield in the cartoon! Wei Yancheng actually has the face to answer others like this, no wonder he is the boss and he is a subordinate, but the skill of opening his eyes and talking nonsense is not as strong as him.

Director Kurt didn't know how Wei Yancheng and Su Yunshen usually got along, so he left his contact information and was fooled away, hey, I didn't see my muse today, and I felt a little bitter.

Kurt waited until he returned to the hotel before he had time to wash up and sleep, and when he woke up, he had to go out for a walk, and finally came to Huaguo, he had to take a good look at his male god's hometown!

The next day, Kurt received a call from Wei Yancheng as promised, and Wei Yancheng was very moved...... Rejected him.

"I'm sorry, Director Johnson, I can't accept this script."

Kurt immediately sensed Wei Yancheng's words: "You can't accept it? Haven't you shown the script to Su Yunshen yet? Show him, he won't refuse! Johnson has that kind of self-confidence.

"I admit that your script is very good, but I don't want Su Yunshen to accept this script." Wei Yancheng said firmly.

Kurt was a little puzzled: "Why don't you accept it?" ”

"If you really care about Su Yunshen's condition, you should understand my decision, I am very worried about Su Yunshen's psychological condition in the script shooting center, and I don't want him to have any problems."

"But ......" Kurt can understand Wei Yancheng's concerns, but all actors are like this, if a movie can play the role of influencing the audience, it must first affect the actors.

"It's based on my selfishness, please let me praise your script again, and of course, if you can see other actors, I'd be more than happy," Wei Yancheng said to Kurt so frankly, blocking all of Kurt's reasons, "Goodbye, director Johnson." ”

The busy voice on the phone made Director Johnson a little stunned, he knew that without Wei Yancheng's permission, he might not even be able to see Su Yunshen's face, this is really a tyrant.

It's just that he is still a little unconvinced, by the way, Wei Yancheng secretly refused this matter for Su Yunshen, he felt that at least he should work hard so that Su Yunshen could see this script, even if he didn't act, he wanted Su Yunshen to see it.

Kurt called his almighty assistant: "Hey, it's me, I want to ask, can I find someone to pull the cord for me?" Yes, I was rejected, but Sue didn't see my script at all, and if he didn't read my script, I wouldn't go back to country A, just let me be here for the rest of my life! Who? Who do you mean? Oh, I remember, he's a very talented guy too, what's his contact information? I see, thank you, goodbye. ”

Kurt was very happy to call after getting the call: "Hi, hello, I'm Kurt Wilson, do you have time to meet?" ”

"Of course, my pleasure." Zhou Ke on the other end of the phone replied.

***

They are about in a café, the Italian coffee here is very authentic, all are imported coffee beans, the special service staff hand grinding, not only that, the decoration here is also very emotional, the corners are hidden mysteries, for a while Zhou Ke liked it very much, he had to explore the past one by one.

"Director Johnson, it's a pleasure to meet you." Zhou Ke stretched out his hand.

Director Johnson held Zhou Ke's hand, he looked excited, you know, Zhou Ke is likely to be his last hope: "Just call me Cott." ”

"Kurt, I don't know what you came to China for this time?" After the hands were separated, Zhou Ke motioned with his hands to sit down.

"I have a script that I want you to see." Johnson handed the script to Zhou Ke again.

Script: No one wants me, I feel bitter.

Zhou Ke took it, he thought that the director might be preparing a project for cooperation between the two countries, he read the script very quickly, Zhou Ke is also a well-informed figure in the film industry, he just took a cursory look at the outline of this script to feel the charm of this script, this is a rare movie, it is a movie script with the strength to impact many trophies of the little golden man.

Zhou Ke closed the script, and he was puzzled: "What do you need me to do?" ”

"To be honest, it's been half a year since the audition, and the actor of the male lead has not been determined yet, mainly because I have a definite candidate in my mind, and I hope Su Yunshen can play this role."

As soon as Kurt said it, Zhou Ke knew the reason: "But, is it right that Wei Yancheng rejected you?" ”

"Yes, yes." Kurt replied hesitantly.

Zhou Ke was a little embarrassed: "Wei Yancheng will not make a move that is unfavorable to Su Yunshen, anyone in the world will, but only Wei Yancheng will not, if he refuses, Su Yunshen has little chance of agreeing." ”

"It's okay! I just want Su Yunshen to see this script, this script, I created it for him. Kurt replied immediately.

"If that's the case, I'm willing to let you meet, after all, it's such an excellent script, but this is just an opportunity for you, I can't guarantee anything." Zhou Ke said that as a fellow director, he is also very fond of excellent scripts. Kurt is already a well-known director, but he still flew to China alone because of a role, just to see Su Yunshen.

Although, Su Yunshen has not filmed for three years.
