Chapter 128: The Male Protagonist of the Commercial
"Are you interested in going to a Siconi concert? She was doing a concert in Los Angeles recently, and I think she must have liked it with your friends. ”
Guy Ritchie loosened his button, took the cigarette from Sean and exhaled the smoke ring, "I'm here to cheer her up and talk to her manager about the rights to her songs." It's a pity that the guys at her record company bit $1 million and didn't let go. ”
"$1 million for Madonna's songs?" Seeing that Guy Ritchie looked like he took it for granted, Sean shrugged his shoulders, the couple was really weird. Guy Ritchie mentions Madonna's concert, and Sean doesn't feel like he's going to go.
Although I had an in-depth understanding of super friendship with Mai Milk before, and the degree of play was relatively thorough, the three holes were all abused. But at that time, Sean just regarded her as a venting Bichi, a prodigal mother and dog. But now it's different, Sean thinks that although he and Guy Ritchie haven't known each other for too long, only a month or two, they are enough to be called friends.
Friend's wife and wife's wife are two different concepts. Sean isn't that crazy anyway.
So Sean felt that it would be wiser for him to stay away from Madonna's crazy woman. At the very least, Sean thinks Guy Ritchie is more normal than Madonna.
"I'm sorry Richie, I don't think I could make it to Madonna's concert. I'm going to be promoting the new film "Never Compromise" during this time, so I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Sean found a reason to prevaricate Guy Ritchie.
"That 'Uncompromising' starring Julia Roberts?"
"Yes."
"It's a pity." Guy Ritchie nodded helplessly, "You're right, it seems that we really can't attend Siconi's concert together." But congratulations on being able to work with that big star like Julia Roberts. Looks like you're going to have a good time. ”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Guy Ritchie's words. Julia Roberts is very famous, but don't forget that his wife is now the world's music queen Madonna, who is more famous than Julia Roberts, and Madonna can be said to have become a musical symbol.
"The newspapers gave the film a lot of reviews, although I don't like critics who point fingers. But sometimes these guys can really influence the judgment of the old guys, and maybe the film will really be nominated for an Oscar next year. ”
Guy Ritchie looked at Sean and laughed, "You guy probably got into the Oscars before I did." God knows when my film will impress those old diehards, but you guys could have an Oscar-caliber movie next year, and I guess that's the director's downside......"
"That's why I often say that sometimes directors are actually the underprivileged group in the film industry." Guy Ritchie added. "Especially for a Hollywood outsider like me, I am definitely not recognized by that group of academics. Sometimes I think it's a terrible thing that my work should be judged by a group of mouthfuls who have never made a film at all. ”
"Maybe you're right." Sean thought about it and felt that what the British director said seemed to have some truth. "But everyone is working hard for the little golden man, and few people are exempt from vulgarity."
"You're right, I don't think that little golden figure is great, but you know, I dream of holding the little golden figure in my hand every night." Guy Ritchie laughed and laughed at himself, "No one says no to the limelight." ”
Think about the cold tyrant of Kashen, who couldn't hold back after violently smashing the door of Oscar, and shouted "iamthekingoftheworld", which shows the allure of Oscar's little golden man.
Immediately afterwards, Guy Ritchie and Sean had a casual conversation while drinking. He talked about his marriage to Madonna, about the post-editing of his new film, and about some interesting things he had recently encountered. By the way, I also gossiped about Jason Statham.
Guy Ritchie said. "Guo Da" is preparing to celebrate the birthday of her model girlfriend Kelly Brooke, and recently took on several small production movies such as "Into the Palace", in which she played a supporting role. It is said that he also received several MV jobs, anyway, this British "Guo Da" has been very busy recently, and his career has begun to improve while his feelings are hot. is the so-called pickling girls and making money.
Barabala's Guy Ritchie chatted with Sean for a long time, until Sean yawned. That's when the trip to the bar was stopped. Sean looked at his watch, and the conversation lasted for more than 2 hours.
"Hey. Man, are you interested in taking on a commercial? "Suddenly. Guy Ritchie's style changed, and he talked directly to Sean about his work, and at the same time, the more he looked at Sean, the brighter he became, "This is a car commercial, there is a position of a male protagonist in it, are you interested?" ”
Sean, who was opening his mouth to yawn, blinked his eyes, looked at Guy Ritchie, who was in high spirits in front of him, and didn't even have the smell of alcohol, rubbed his face vigorously, puzzled, "You mean a car commercial?" Don't tell me you shot ......"
"That's right, I did take an ad. Oh, don't look at me like that, you have to know that I was born in advertising before, and the other party paid me quite well, and I didn't have anything else to do during this time except editing "Kidnapping and Robbery", so ...... You know, I don't mind making some pocket money. Guy Ritchie explained.
"Two Big Smoking Guns" was a blockbuster, and "Kidnapping and Robbery" showed its talent. The filming of the commercial by this big director from the lowest level of the UK really shocked Sean a little, to be honest.
I have the impression that a dark horse in the production industry like Guy Ritchie, and a guy with such a sharp personal style, should be the kind of fighter who doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, but looking at Guy Ritchie's natural posture when he talks about money, Sean feels that this acquisition is the current situation of filmmakers.
"It seems that I haven't had much else to do lately except for publicity, maybe I can consider being like you and making some money to support my family." Sean was first exposed to work outside of film.
"Well, I'll mention you to the investors, and as for whether they think about it or not, I don't think I can make the decision. It's just that I think it's easier to work with an acquaintance, especially since I think there's an untapped mystery about you, and I like it. Seeing Sean's surprised appearance, Guy Ritchie gestured with his hands, "How to put it, it just feels like you have a lot of energy in your body, which is very attractive to dig into...... So...... I would recommend it to them. ”
“…… Well, I'm waiting for your news. Sean took a sip of wine, feeling that the idea of shooting an advertisement to earn pocket money turned out to be a fluctuating opportunity.
"Don't worry, they won't miss you if they're not blind, at least you're much better than the few options they gave me." Guy Ritchie comforted Sean, "You know, these big manufacturers have poisonous eyes. ”
"I hope so."
To be honest, Sean didn't expect much. But anyway, Sean gave himself a chance to get a job.
Of course, this topic also allowed Sean to say goodbye to Guy Ritchie's nagging, and finally to talk about other topics normally, such as ......
"Richie, if it's convenient, you can introduce Benedict to a job, I just finished a movie with him, and I can guarantee that you'll love his big face when you actually see him perform, I bet." Sean introduced his best friend Benedict to Cumberbatch.
Although Gally Wizards has only made two films, even one of them has not yet been released. But Guy Ritchie's connections in the British film and television industry should not be underestimated. At the very least, he has a lot of acquaintances in the advertising industry, and introducing Benedict to a job should be considered a gesture.
'I trust your vision and the fact that we all like Manchester United and I think I'll help him.' Guy Ritchie smiled, looking very serious, "But I don't plan to go back to London lately, you know ......"
"Madonna's concert, I understand." Sean waved his hand, "It's okay, he also found a few supporting roles on BBC 4 before, just help if it's convenient for you." You know, I'm not the kind of guy who doesn't like to motivate, we can only help him if he works his own. ”
"Of course." Guy Ritchie smiled, glanced at Benedict, who was a little dazed on the side, and said to Sean seriously, "I think everyone likes to have friends like you, Sean." ”
"Man, this evaluation is as bad as those Bichi say, you're a good person, I'm not a bad good person." Sean laughed.
"Well, that's a bit of a bad thing." Guy Ritchie shrugged his shoulders and agreed with Sean's words.
After drinking until about 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, Sean said goodbye to Guy Ritchie, who had a driver to pick him up, and watched him get into the Mercedes-Benz luxury car belonging to Madonna and disappear into the street, and then turned his head to look at Benedict, who was drunk on the side.
"Shet, I think I really have the qualities to be a good person." With the Roll Fu in hand, Sean effortlessly stuffed the drunken Roll Fu into the car, warning, "If you dare to dirty my car I'll kick your ass, bastard!" ”
Of course, the drunken Juan Fu only knew how to smirk at Sean. It can only be said that the stamina of poisonous snake wine is really strong, and it is easy for people to drink high unconsciously. Just like Ruifan, who was addicted to drugs back then, he also drank viper wine back then.
Apparently Juan Fu was also drunk with viper wine, but fortunately he had a reliable friend.
"Shet, I don't want that kind of bad thing." Sean looked at the poisonous snake that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but curse secretly, and he just saw the manhole cover that he had just left in the rearview mirror.
Stand out!
With one foot on the accelerator, the car rushed out like a beast in heat, and the loud roar eclipsed the thugs and motorcyclists who were wandering on the road.
The screaming beast, dangerous and wanton, shows its sharp teeth on the outside, but protects its own people on the inside, this beast is called the challenger, this man is called ......
Sean. (To be continued)
