Chapter 108: Juan Fu, Tang Laoshi, and Sean
"London's bullshit weather, it's like seeing dogs!"
Sean rushed into a restaurant, dusted off the raindrops on his windbreaker, looked helplessly at the lightning and thunderous rain outside the door, and helplessly took out his mobile phone, but found that the mobile phone had no signal, "Damn, I'm afraid my salary this time is not enough for the amount of the fine!" β
Joining the movie "Kidnapping and Robbery", Sean's salary is pitiful. In fact, with Sean's small reputation now, at least the salary can reach 6-figure dollars. Although his salary has not increased significantly, it has finally mixed into the ranks of 6 figures.
It's a pity that Brad Pitt's big star joined "Kidnapping and Robbery" for a salary of only a pitiful drop of 2 million plus a box office share. You must know that Brad Pitt's current market in Hollywood is starting at $20 million, and his salary cut to join "Kidnapping and Robbery" this time is definitely a special situation, otherwise Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn would not have specially designed the role of Gypsy for him, you must know that the original script did not have this role.
As a result, Sean's salary is only a pitiful 60,000 pounds, almost more than 90,000 dollars.
"The weather in London has always been like this, bad like a grumpy old lady. I don't think you'd be so surprised if you've just arrived in London. Do you want to eat something? The veal steak pizza here is not bad. A tall, thin curly-haired waiter with a long face stood next to Sean with a pen and a la carte, looking at the pouring rain outside the glass door, "The rain is so heavy, the lightning is thundering, maybe it will rain overnight, maybe tomorrow morning." β
"Perhaps, but it's my first time in London. If it's convenient, get me a steak and your recommended pizza, plus a bottle of whiskey, eh...... Add ice. Sean took off his trench coat and hung it on a nearby hanger, then tilted his head to look at the long-faced curly-haired waiter in front of him and asked suspiciously, "Have we met somewhere?" β
"God, I don't like men to greet me like that. But maybe you've seen my play? Are you also a student at the London School of Music and Dramatic Art? The big face with curly hair looked at Sean with a regretful expression, "But with all due respect, I really don't have an impression of you......"
"I haven't seen your play, and I'm not a student of the Academy of Arts," Sean stared at the other party for a few seconds and shook his head, "Maybe I made a mistake in filming a movie recently, I'm sorry." β
"Movies?"
The long-faced, curly-haired man suddenly stopped and turned his head when he heard Sean's words, staring at Sean, "You mean you're making a movie?" Sorry, but I'm Benedict Cumberbatch, a recent graduate of dramatic school, you can call me Benedict, I'm interested in what you're talking about, and I think we can get to know each other. Maybe it's convenient for me to ask your crew if there is still a shortage of actors? I mean, a trick can ......."
"Sean Rodrigues Clos, just call me Sean."
Sean looked at the curly-haired Mr. Benedict, who was still arrogant just now, but now he was very interested, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "I'm an actor and I'm in London to participate in the filming of a film. So I can't control the actor's business. But it seems that the rain will not stop for a while and a half, if you are not afraid that the boss will deduct your salary, let's sit down and chat while eating...... I don't think there's going to be any business with this-"
"Bang!"
As soon as Sean finished speaking, a soup chicken broke in. This guy is not tall, his hair is wet, he can't help but shake his hair, and he sees that everyone's eyes are focused on him, uh, in fact, everyone in the room is referring to Sean and Benedict. The fat boss who had just stood at the counter went in to prepare a pizza for Sean.
"Man, bring me a hot cup of coffee if it's convenient."
The short-haired man saw Sean and Benedict's surprised gazes, lowered his head along the gaze, and immediately hurriedly stuffed the big pink shorts in, and then pulled his trouser chain, looking embarrassed, "Oh, sorry, I don't have a fetish for wanting to show the color of my panties, it's just an accident." β
"It seems that this rain ghost weather is not uninhabited!" Benedict stretched out his hands at Sean, and when he saw the embarrassed appearance of the man in front of him, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Man, we don't have the idea of looking at your red shorts, it looks like you need a dry towel now!" β
Benedict smiled embarrassedly at Sean and walked back, "Wait a minute, we'll be talking about your new movie when I'm back, Sean." β
Movie?
This word attracted Tom Hardy's attention, and seeing the long-faced curly-haired waiter leaving, Tom Hardy hesitated for a moment, but still sat opposite Sean, smiled at Sean with a little hesitation, and saw that Sean did not object, so he mustered up the courage to speak.
"I'm Tom Hardy. Don't mind if I'm sitting here, right? β
"Sean Cross." Sean took a cigarette in his mouth, smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Pleaseβ"
"Thank you. Resemble...... Well, I just heard you guys mention the word movie, can I ask if you're auditioning here? If I need actors, maybe I can give it a try...... I'm an actor......"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Tom Hardy, I think you must be mistaken. I'm not here for an audition, I'm just like youβ" Sean nodded with his cigarette in his hand, and said with a smirk, "It's also a customer who came in from the rain to eat." β
Seeing the other party's surprised gaze, Sean continued, "As for the topic of the movie you just heard, I can only tell you that it just so happens that I am also an actor. I went to London to participate in a film, and that's what we want to talk about, and it doesn't matter what the audition is. β
Sean's words made Tom Hardy show a hint of disappointment after being stunned, but he still squeezed out a little smile, "I'm sorry, it seems that I misunderstood." As he spoke, he got up and walked to the table next to him.
"If you don't mind, sit down, I just ordered a bottle of whiskey. I think it must be God's arrangement for us to get together in such a heavy rain. I'm Sean, and that guy is Benedict, the makeshift waiter here, but he says he's a student at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and he's an actor. You know, it's not very likely that three actors will come together on a rainy day......"
As soon as Sean finished speaking, Benedict's long, curly-haired face came over with food.
"What's not a high probability?" The long-faced curly hair put down the pizza and drink, and looked curious, "I'll go crazy if it's a discussion of math." β
"Of course, no one likes math. Especially the British......" Sean smiled slightly and nodded at Tom Hardy next to him, "This is Tom Hardy, he is also an actor, I am talking about a heavy rain that brings the three of us together, it is not easy." β
Smiling slightly, Sean glanced at the two people in front of him a few times, and always felt that the two of them were very familiar, well, very familiar.
Juan Fu?
Soup old wet?
I don't know why, these two words pop up in my head. But soon Sean put this boring idea of his own aside.
The two guys in front of him actually started to talk about the topic of movies, and the conversation was very exciting, Sean also intervened appropriately, and then the three of them began to talk about their experiences and things about movies.
Benedict told Sean and Tom Hardy that he originally studied drama at the University of Manchester, and then went to Tibet to teach English for half a year in order to experience life, and also went hiking in Nepal with four friends, but got lost halfway, and even contracted dysentery, and almost couldn't return to the UK, after graduating from university, he chose the London School of Music and Dramatic Arts to study classical performance, obtained a master's degree, and is now unemployed.
The state of enthusiasm makes Sean wonder if he is really a native Englishman, perhaps French, or of Latino descent, considering that the proportion of curly hair among Latins is not low.
Tom Hardy briefly introduced himself when talking about himself, graduated from the British Academy of Drama, but attended two drama schools. Then he talked about the topic to the movie, this guy is the British guy in Sean's impression, he always keeps a certain distance from others, and he doesn't talk too much about himself.
When talking about Sean, Sean briefly talked about his movie experience, and as for the previous situation, he didn't talk much about it.
After a while, three men who didn't know each other sat in a small restaurant on the street, chatting heartily with the sound of rain, and couldn't help but laugh when they talked about it.
"Sean, I really envy you."
Benedict's big long face and curly hair looked at Sean with a little envy, "You guy has made so many movies, I know the movie "Speed 60 Seconds". By the way, "Gladiator" was also filmed in the UK some time ago, right? I didn't expect you to have such a rich experience, unlike me, six months after graduation, but I didn't get a role, if I hadn't worked here, I might really have to sleep on the streets. β
"Don't say that, it's just my luck." Sean smiled and said, "You know, there are always more opportunities in Hollywood than here, maybe you can try your luck......"
"That's what made you win these roles." Tom Hardy looked at Sean steadily.
"Well, I'll just take it as a compliment to me." Looking at Tom Hardy's bottom-out coffee cup, Sean took the whiskey with a slight smile, "I think we should have a drink together." β
"Good idea, I'll go get a wine glass." Benedict's eyes lit up and snapped his fingers.
"Cheers!"
The three of them raised their glasses and drained the liquor in their glasses. With the traction of alcohol, the atmosphere of the three of them chatting is also high, and the cups are staggered, looking elated. You must know that if a man can drink together at the same table, then the relationship between them will become very harmonious, just like a woman goes shopping together and eats food together.
All in all, it's a lot of fun.
"Oh, you're actually working on a new Guy Ritchie movie? I really envy you Sean, you have to know that Guy Ritchie is the hottest new generation of directors in the UK now. His "Two Smoking Guns" is the third-highest grossing film in British film history, and you must know that movie is a classic. Few directors have achieved so much in their first Virgo...... "Benedict drained the whiskey in his glass in one gulp, looking at Sean with surprise in his eyes.
Tom Hardy on the side couldn't help but be moved, Guy Ritchie may only be famous in the United States, but in the United Kingdom, he laid the foundation of a master in one fell swoop. was called "the future leader of British cinema" by the British media, which shows his popularity in the UK. And Sean can appear in his movies, which is naturally enviable.
After the three men had drained a bottle of whiskey, Benedict took a few more bottles of unnamed spirits from the cabinet.
Then the three of them drank and talked.
Bottle by bottle......
Bang! PsοΌ
