Sunset Street, the bar by the window.

Ted Demi pinched a bottle of Corona beer and looked curiously at the tough guy sitting in front of him, with a solemn face, formal and tall and tough.

It's been a month and a half since I separated from Sean.

Originally, Ted Demi thought that Sean would contact him quickly, but he couldn't wait for a call from this funny boy. This surprised Ted Demy.

Just when Ted Demi was rejected by Nicolas Cage and John Reguizamo one after another, and also encountered setbacks with Johnny Depp, Sean's phone call came invariably. I have to say, the timing was ingenious.

The bar was deserted, as if it wasn't normal pick-up time, and there were only a few people scattered around the entire bar, drinking beer and chatting.

Sean and Ted Demie sat by the window, the afternoon sun shining on their faces, warm and comfortable, warm but not dazzling.

Corona beer is doing very well in the U.S. market.

California is the main consumer of this refreshing Mexican beer. Many people here love this light and cold beer from Lao Mo, which is a favorite of black dudes.

"I like to add a little lemon slice and sweet and sour with a refreshing beer, it tastes great."

Ted Demmy poured the beer into the square beer glass and tossed the lemon slices he had just asked for from the bartender into the beer, and the bubbles bubbled up in an instant, and the golden beer was covered with hops.

"Gollum-" took a sip.

"Hah, you're feeling refreshed, and it's great to have a cold beer like this on a hot California afternoon, want to try it, Sean?" Ted Demmy wiped the beer foam from the corner of his mouth, still so unruly and unkempt.

A pleated T-shirt and a pair of dark jeans, like a homeless man more than a director.

"Thanks, I prefer to drink Yuengling, which tastes more mellow." Sean Xie absolutely recommended it, grabbed a small bottle of his own Yuengling and took a sip, the mellow taste lingering in his mouth.

Sean has little interest in light beer, preferring to drink this mellow beer. It's like he likes high-horsepower cars.

"Eagle wine...... Good choice. ”

Ted Demie glanced at Sean's beer and shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

"Hehe, I like this eagle......" Sean glanced at the eagle on the bottle and smiled. For Yuengling, Sean really has a soft spot.

Probably because the Yuengling bottle has an image of an eagle holding a barrel, so many people are used to calling it Eagle Wine, or American Eagle. It's a colloquial name. But it is very much in line with the popularity of this sake.

This time after receiving a call from Sean, Ted Demmi asked Sean to come to this bar to meet without much thought.

On the one hand, he was rejected by the actors he liked one after another, and he couldn't find a suitable actor to act in his movie for the time being.

On the other hand, he also has a good impression of Sean, and wants to see if Sean really values this opportunity enough and whether he can grasp the opportunity he gave him at the beginning.

At least I've given you a chance, haven't I? That's what Ted Demmi has to say.

The movie "American Drug Lord" is one of Ted Demy's most heartfelt works.

From the beginning of its preparation, the film was invested and sought after by two independent film companies, New Line Films and Miramax Films.

This makes this film a highly anticipated work among independent films.

After all, Ted Demmy's two works just completed, "Chronicle of Death" and "The King of Gamblers" both have good box office and good reputation. It is liked by many fans.

This time, Ted Demmi himself served as the producer and director of the film, and it can be said that he has high expectations for his film.

That's why he wants to invite Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp to star. After all, a good work needs good actors.

But it's a pity that Ted Demmi is famous.

can't let a real Hollywood star bend his waist to participate, not to mention that the budget of this film is not very high, and naturally, the actor's salary will not be high.

This is also the biggest problem that bothers him. This movie is not so commercial, so it needs the acting skills of the actors to perfect the work. If you can't meet a good actor to interpret the characters in the play, then half of the movie will be ruined.

The actor problem is also the biggest problem that this film is facing now.

If he can't choose the right actor, Ted Demi would rather postpone filming than find a random actor to complete his work.

In his opinion, there are only a few actors who meet their requirements for roles in Hollywood. Among the standouts are none other than Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp.

Both of them have a distinctive temperament.

"Sean, you should know that our film is going to shoot the life of George Jung, his biographical film. So I'm curious to know, what do you think of George Jung as a person? Ted Demmi asked casually as he poured his wine and smiled.

It seemed casual, but both men knew that the test had officially begun.

Sean plucked up the courage to make this call, just with a lot of hope. Although he knew that his hope was indeed small, Sean did not want to miss it.

In this mood, although Sean is as usual on his face, he can't suppress his nervousness in his heart, and frequent drinking can expose his mood.

He kept thinking about how the other party would ask questions, and he thought about all kinds of questions that the other party would ask and the corresponding responses.

The other person may let themselves act out a scene, or let themselves analyze the character, or even allow themselves to make a layered interpretation.

However, the other party directly asked George Jung, the big drug lord, and asked Sean to talk about his opinion of this person, not the character.

For a moment, Sean was stunned.

"What? You don't know this person? ”

Ted Demmi frowned slightly, a flash of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

He thinks that Sean may not have read the books he recommended and didn't even know who George Jung was.

Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much, how can a rookie seriously read the books I recommend? Think about this guy's recent affair with Angelina.

Obviously, this is just a speculative guy!

In an instant, Ted Demi sentenced Sean to death in his head!

He was disappointed, but also relieved.

Not everyone can cherish the opportunity, and not everyone can do things with their feet on the ground. More people are just trying to cut corners. This kind of person Ted Demmi has seen too much.

There are many people who dream like this on Hollywood Boulevard!

What's more, the recent reputation of the man in front of him is not very good, although there are many good reputations, but at the very least, when Angelina's little white face is mentioned in the entertainment industry, many people will suddenly realize. This path is indeed worth being pursued by many people.

But it's a pity that Ted Demi doesn't like this kind of celebrity who relies on hype to increase his popularity, let alone an actor.

"Forget it, drink the bar......"

Ted Demmy smiled sarcastically, deciding to find an excuse to leave after the last glass of wine.

He really didn't want to drink at the same table with such soft eggs and opportunistic guys.

That's just disgusting!

Just as Ted Demmi sneered in his heart and ruled Sean out, Sean opened his mouth.

"I think George Jung is a good man!"

Sean didn't know what the other person wanted to analyze the character, but Sean insisted on saying his feelings about George Jung.

Although he didn't know if the other party saw George Jung that way.

After all, this word is still a little awkward when pressed on a drug lord. A good guy drug-thug? What a sarcastic title......

"Huh?"

Ted Demi was ready to get up and leave, but was stopped by Sean's unexpected answer.

In fact, he also learned about the life of George Jung, and even studied it for a long time. From what he knows, he doesn't have a particularly bad sense of George Jung.

But he didn't expect Sean to give such a shocking answer. This made him a little suspicious that Sean was pretending to be smart again.

I have to say that the scandal between Sean and Angelina some time ago gave Ted Demmi a very bad impression.

Although Sean is not a big hit, many people will not know who Sean is. But it also gave Sean a not-so-good reputation.

At the very least, the name of eating soft rice and little white face can't run away. Unless Sean comes in another posture one day, he will inevitably be criticized and misunderstood.

"He was betrayed by his family, betrayed by his wife, and betrayed by his friends. It seems that there are no people and things in his life. But he also has an angel to give him hope. I think he'll forgive these guys. ”

Sean smiled and explained, "Her daughter is his biggest baby. An indispensable organ of his life. ”

When he said this, Sean couldn't help but think of the black man before he met George Jung in a Massachusetts prison. That is the most intuitive embodiment of father's love.

"Do you think he doesn't hate his wife?"

Ted Demi began to look squarely at the strong man in front of him.

It seems that Sean really read the book he recommended seriously. And it seems that the other party has gained quite a lot from reading books.

"Maybe I hated, maybe I just resented! He himself probably couldn't figure it out. But I knew that George Jung should have hated his wife when she stripped his daughter from his side. ”

But she was the mother of his daughter, so maybe George didn't hate her that much! At the very least, George Jung now has those resentments in his heart. Sean thought about it and thought that this was George Jung's idea.

Through Sean's conversation with George Jung at that time, George gave Sean the feeling that this is the case.

Sean's answer silenced Ted Demi for a while.

The original prejudice in his heart was unconsciously replaced by Sean's self-confidence.

"You read the book I recommended you?" Ted Demmi looked at Sean seriously, hoping to see if Sean was lying.

"I read it 6 times." Sean nodded. Sean often kept his hand on that book and read it many times.

"Can you tell us about the specific plot? Which part of the book are you more interested in......" Ted Demi asked anxiously. He had to make sure that Sean really wasn't perfunctory or deceived him.

No one likes to be perfunctory and deceived! Ted Demmi is even more so.

Sean groaned, and slowly described his feelings about the plot in the book, as well as his own feelings about George Jung.

Beginning with George Jung's childhood, he analyzes the trajectory of George Jung's growth, and then talks about what he did in California, and the story of going to Colombia to find a source of goods. And the first time I escaped in Chicago.

Some are stories recorded in the book, and some are the inside story that George Jung told Sean at the time.

Sean interprets the book and the character of George Jung in his own way of understanding.

Talking about George Jung's relationship with his ex-girlfriend Barbie, Sean touched his hair, "That's why George had long hair later." He knew she would be there forever......"

Ted Demi was attracted by Sean's detailed description, but hearing that Sean had many descriptions that were not in the book, but were very accurate, Ted had to say that the guy in front of him gave him the biggest surprise.

"How do you know this? Doesn't look like that's in the book? ”

Ted Demi asked suspiciously, "You seem to know George Jung very well?" Know him better than I, someone who's been studying for a long time? You know, there are a lot of small details that I don't know...... There's no talk of that in the book...... I also found a lot of information in particular......"

"Hehe, I just came back from Boston not long ago."

As if seeing that Ted Demmi did not understand, Sean added to explain, "Mr. George Jung is in prison in Massachusetts, where I talked to him for more than three hours......"

“……”

Ted Demmi glanced at Sean quietly and took a sip from his glass.

"You talked to George Jung so much?"

Sean smiled, "Not only that, we also talked about hobbies." On the question of the American Dream, there are also families, children. It's hard to imagine that an addict would be able to endure the life of a Puritan. He actually quit a lot of hobbies for the sake of his children. He's a good father......"

"You surprise me, maybe you're right, I should talk to him. He's in a Massachusetts prison, right? Ted Demi took a deep breath, his unshaven face so solemn and serious for the first time today.

"No, maybe you're going to find him in a federal prison in New Jersey, and he's got a new home address!"

Sean smiled and took out his wallet and pulled out George Jung's contact information, "This is his number in the federal prison in New Jersey, maybe we can see him soon." You know, I waited almost a month to see him. ”

Sean in front of him seemed to be very natural, as if he was introducing his old friend to Ted Demy. It's as simple and calm as that.

But the more calm and naturalness this is, the more Ted Demmy's heart is shocked.

I was able to read the book 6 times, study the characters in it, and even wait for a month for an uncertain character, and then fly to Boston to visit the prison and talk to the character prototype.

Is there such an actor?

Ted Demi didn't know if there was before, but now he knew that in front of his eyes, there was such an actor.

You know, all Sean got was a chance to investigate as he had promised. But the other party not only really read the recommended books repeatedly, but also spent money to visit the prison and fly to Boston.

Although there are not many Hollywood stars who go to prison for the sake of their roles, or even try it themselves, there are many of them.

But those are all without exception, they are all big stars with great strength and fame, and they do so on the premise of determining the role.

But what about Sean?

Looking at Sean with a calm face in front of him, Ted Demi felt that if it was him. Maybe I wouldn't care so much about such a small opportunity.

Is he stupid?

In the eyes of many Hollywood stars, it should be stupid, after all, there may be no gain from his efforts. It's just wishful thinking.

But Ted Demmi thinks this is the actor he wants.

Maybe Nicolas Cage is good, maybe John Reguizamo is the most practical, maybe Johnny Depp has the best acting skills. But at this moment, Ted Demmi felt that Sean seemed more suitable to play George Jung than they were.

If this is a commercial blockbuster prepared by a big Hollywood company, maybe Ted Demi will be in love with Sean, and Sean will not be able to compete with any of the above three.

But this film is a film produced by New Line Pictures and Miramax. And Ted Demmi is also one of the producers.

He's one of the bosses!

It's an independent film.

It is also an independent film company that accepts investment!

So, Ted Demmy, the rough-looking, uninhibited, stubble-faced dwarf, stout man looked at Sean, revealing eight large white teeth.

Regarding the question of the 911 number, this phone number did not change after 911 in the United States.

In the 60s, in order to unify the police number, this number began to be implemented, and after the 70s and 80s, it was basically popularized in the United States. As for 911, this is a kind of irony for the United States.
