Chapter 17: Invite Nicholas's director

"It's a nice car, it's just hard to drive. It's a wild horse that's not easy to tame. Nicholas unbuckled his seatbelt, "It's really hard for ordinary people to tame it!" ”

Sean agreed with Nicolas Cage's words.

This car has super explosive power and the ability to sprint in a straight line.

But it also embodies the feeling of American muscle sports cars - difficult to handle.

When exiting corners, muscle bikes are often unstable and tend to lose control. Even rollovers are a common occurrence.

So although Americans like muscle cars, when families choose, few families choose such cars.

There is no way, only a few people can fully control it. And it's better to buy a cheap modern sports car, that's more stylish.

Undoubtedly, this is a tough guy ride. This is what many people have to say about muscle cars.

"Do you want to try it yourself? There may be no chance except today. ”

Nicholas smiled and handed the key to Sean, and when he saw Sean's puzzled look, he smiled and explained, "You don't really think we're going to take this car to shoot all the shots, do you?" Buddy? If that happens, Dominic will be beaten to death by producers and investors! ”

Following Nicholas's finger, Sean saw three Ford Mustang similar to the car parked not far away.

Although it looks similar, it's definitely not the real 67 Ford Mustang GT500!

One is a modified GT350, and the remaining two are modified cars from the original model.

Think about it, although the car is not very expensive, only about 30,000-50,000 US dollars, but it is very scarce, and you can definitely buy it if you have money. Maybe you won't sell it to you for $100,000.

For this kind of car, no director would really shoot with it.

"The GT350 is also good, although it is the predecessor, but this is a modified model, the headlights, taillights, and rear wing have been changed, the transmission has also been changed to automatic, and the gear has changed. Much has changed. ”

Sean looked at the Ford Mustang inside and out, nodded frequently, and was very satisfied with the car's handling.

"Of course, I'm going to get this car in my pocket."

Nicolas Cage patted the roof of the car and showed off to Sean quite ostentatiously, "Think about it, after filming, driving this car back to Los Angeles, is it eye-catching?" Soaking horses in a nightclub is absolutely handsome. ”

"yes, it's really cool."

"Of course, I'll definitely ask for a 67 Mustang GT500 in the future!"

Nicholas glanced at the GT500 with reluctance, his eyes full of hope.

But I'm afraid this is Cage's wishful thinking.

Although the 67-year-old Mustang GT500 can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, it is still unknown whether you can buy it, or whether you can choose a car in good condition.

Even if you can buy it, what's the use of having a car in bad condition?

So it doesn't matter whether you can afford some cars and whether you can buy them or not.

Sean drove the 67 Mustang GT500 around roughly, and the roar made people sit inside and hear it clearly.

When Sean tried to press the button and inject nitrous oxide, it gave Sean a taste of what a wild horse is.

The moment he pressed it, the whole car rushed out with a bang, as if it was going to tear Sean apart, and this kind of stimulation made people's blood rush.

"Wow-"

Sean gave a cool tail flick, and the dust splashed and the sound of the brakes combined to make it look particularly rough.

"Wow, that's cool. I didn't expect you to have such good driving skills. I had heard about the filming of a movie about automobiles, and I had participated in special training on the special functions of automobiles.

I've learned some high-tech moves such as speeding, tail flicking, and balancing on the side of two tires, but I have to say, your guy's moves are even cooler! Nicolas Cage looked at Sean in surprise.

"You went out of your way to learn this for this movie?" Sean was stunned, and Nicolas Cage's words made him a little puzzled.

"Of course, since I'm going to shoot a car, of course I have to learn those skills. Could it be that when an actor plays a movie related to it, he will only move forward and backward? ”

Nicolas Cage didn't think there was anything strange about it, this is his professional code for filmmaking.

"Uh, isn't there a stand-in?" Duke was also a little surprised by Nicolas Cage's professionalism.

"A stand-in is a stand-in, I am me. I sought a stand-in because he was more professional than me, and the professional matters were handled by the professionals. And when I made this film, I naturally had to learn special skills! Otherwise, how to shoot this drama well? Nicolas Cage asked rhetorically.

Moment! Sean was stunned.

Inexplicably, I was a little touched.

Maybe this is the attitude that actors should have.

Whether it's a method school or an experience school, it's actually all about making the characters more in line with the script.

The method school is to improve one's own quality and skills, to figure out the role, so that the character has more personality and characteristics, and it is more full.

As the name suggests, experiential school is completely immersed in the character and integrated into one.

You are the character, and the role is yourself. He is a character in the play.

Many people are accustomed to saying which acting method is good, but in fact, it is just a one-sided opinion. Both approaches have their own advantages, and there is no one that is stronger or weaker.

More often, the method school can make the character more distinctive by giving the character a complete character, and use the character to shape itself.

On the other hand, the experiential school is the character itself.

In fact, both methods have their own characteristics, and there is no one who is good or who is bad, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.

Cage's special use of learning vehicles is actually a manifestation of the methodist school to improve his self-quality, which is definitely a slap in the face for Sean.

Obviously, dedication is the first element of an actor!

"Cage, someone is looking for it!"

Nicolas Cage's assistant held a mobile phone and hurriedly ran towards Nicolas Cage. And his voice also woke up Sean, who was falling into thought.

"Your agent, Mr. Joseph, called, and arrived shortly after."

Seeing Nicholas's questioning eyes, the assistant leaned over to Cage and whispered, "Joseph said that a director wants to invite you to participate in a biographical film about drugs, and it is said that the director also came from Los Angeles himself." ”

"En......"

Nicolas Cage's face was expressionless, but he was a little dissatisfied with the agent in his heart.

Don't look like you're bringing the director over and letting him make up his mind in person.

But behind this move is clearly self-authorized.

Any person, brought it over without consent, how does this make Nicolas Cage feel good?

Maybe ordinary people think it's nothing.

But in the big dye vat of Hollywood, no one can think about it as a normal person.

After Nicolas Cage shot a series of blockbuster films, he became more and more assertive about the choice of films.

There was a vague disagreement with the broker.

The other party cares more about interests, while Cage values the feeling of the film more.

As an Oscar winner, he does not have such a deep obsession as Xiao Lizi in his heart.

And in recent years, the commercial films he has shot have been selling well, which has also given him some other ideas.

Everyone has their own ideas, and Cage has a special love for magic movies.

It is also because of the contradiction between Cage and his agent that Cage has been greatly suppressed in public opinion in later generations.

also led to his occasional masterpieces, but he was not recognized.

Of course, it is also related to the willfulness of Nicolas Cage.

Sean and Duke looked at Nicolas Cage enviously.

This is the real big star, the director personally took the script to him to act in the movie, this kind of treatment is really the treatment of a superstar.

"I don't know when we'll have this treatment." Duke muttered with envy and hatred.

After a while, I saw two men walking over one after the other.

The man with glasses on the front and a typical Jewish appearance was naturally Joseph, Nicolas Cage's agent.

Behind is a middle-aged man with a beard, a stocky figure, and a floral shirt, who looks a little gangster.

Obviously, it should be the director who asked Nicolas Cage to film.

"Oh, Nicholas, it's a pleasure to see you." Although Joseph was smiling, he could not hide the shrewdness of the Jews, and when he was far away, he opened his arms and made a hug gesture towards Nicolas Cage.

"Me too, Joseph." Cage was faintly perfunctory.

"Let me introduce you to Ted, a good director. He has a good movie right now that I think is a good fit for you. The business and artistry are not bad, and the characters are very challenging. Maybe you can think about it. ”

As if seeing Nicolas Cage's increasingly gloomy face, Joseph hurriedly explained with a smile, "Of course, you are the boss, and you make the decision." ”

Nicholas's face recovered slightly, and he squeezed a smile into the rather disheveled, rough-looking director, "Hello, Ted, it's great to have you in San Francisco. ”

"Hello, Nicholas. I've wanted to work with you for a long time, and I really like your performance. Ted was polite, then pulled out the script he had with him, "I think you can take a look at the script, this script is about biographical ......"

"I'm sorry Ted, I don't want to bother you. But I'll tell you that I just picked up a story yesterday about what happened on Wall Street in New York. Maybe your story is really good, but unfortunately, we can't work together this time. ”

Nicholas didn't even read the script, so he raised his hand to stop the other party's words without thinking, and then looked at Joseph with a stunned face, "By the way, Joseph, I forgot to tell you." I think the script of "Family Man" is very good, and I am very interested. Please help me make an appointment with the director, I want to talk to him personally. ”

Looking at Nicolas Cage, who turned to leave, Joseph's face changed again and again.

He didn't expect Nicolas Cage to even read the script he recommended, and directly refused.

Then I chose a movie that I had never even heard of.

This made this Jew feel neglected and unvalued.

As the other party's agent, he would be the last to know the news, which was too bad in Joseph's opinion.

This made him extremely angry.

Luckily, he knew he couldn't fall out with Nicolas Cage, it wouldn't do him any good.

Take a deep breath and suppress your anger. The smile returned to his face.

"Oh, that's great, Cage, then I'll help you contact this director."

Joseph shouted at Cage, then patted Ted on the shoulder next to him and shrugged apologetically, "Ted, it seems that we really can't cooperate this time." I think there will be a chance next time. ”

In fact, Joseph didn't know that it was he who had implicated the rough-looking director in front of him. If he weren't jealous of him, Nicholas wouldn't have rashly taken over what he called "Family Man".

Nicolas Cage simply told Joseph in this way, "I'm the boss, you're just my agent." ”

Otherwise, maybe the outcome of Nicolas Cage will be different in the future.

When an ambitious agent meets an assertive actor, there must be irreconcilable contradictions between labor and management.

This also warned Sean on the side that if he needed an agent one day, he must be able to agree.

Of course, Sean didn't think he would have an agent right now. That's too far away.

Not to mention that they can't afford to pay, even those agents will not put their chips on a rookie who has just stepped into this industry.

Of course, there is no shortage of unknown agents in Hollywood who have risen to prominence by virtue of the actors' blockbusters.

But those are some unpopular brokers, aren't they? No big man would gamble on that pitiful little luck.

It's not much better than winning the lottery.

One might ask, since Sean saw the contradiction between Nicolas Cage and Joseph clearly, why didn't he make it clear to Nicholas?

In fact, Nicolas Cage and Joseph may know the contradiction between the two men better than Sean.

But many times, knowing is knowing, but it is impossible to reconcile.

There is nothing to be done unless one party renounces its claim.

Some things, to a certain extent, naturally create problems.

Unless this kind of thing is prevented from happening in the first place.

So this is not a contradiction that outsiders can resolve with one or two sentences!
