Chapter 145: Big-name producers and small-name actors
Angelina flew away and went to London.
Sean packed his bags and came to New York.
The first time I came to New York to make money, this time I came to New York to shoot commercials. So last time I stayed at the Plaza Hotel, this time Sean chose the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan.
But anyway, Sean came to New York.
"Boss, this is Ms. Naya's offer letter and acquisition plan, she is going to use $1.5 million to invest in Rotten Tomatoes, and I am very optimistic about Blogger, which I founded in August last year, this kind of web logging is doing well, but it requires a lot of money, which makes it difficult for Pyralabs to maintain this small company, and they even want to charge for it. So Ms. Naya and I are talking to each other about capital shares, the first time we will invest about 3.5 million US dollars to help them develop, and we will continue to invest in the future, and this follow-up investment will not be less than 15 million, Naya believes that this blog log is very developmental, and I believe that after the establishment of our angel fund, these two transactions will be officially reached. ”
Stockton Bob shrugged at Sean, who was constantly punching and kicking the punching bag, "So the most important thing for us now is to set up our angel fund and complete these two investments that add up to more than 5 million." ”
"I still have 400 million, don't I?" Sean wiped his sweat with his fist gloves and continued to punch the sandbag, "I think you should be able to solve the @◆ decision by yourself with an investment of less than 10 million, by the way, you seemed to be talking to the taxi driver when you just called?" Don't you like that Ferrari F360? With that, Sean stopped his sanda training, ripped off his gloves, and looked at the dusty Stockton Bob in front of him with a curious expression.
"Shet, I love that red steed to death, but I don't know which bastard smashed my windshield. And I had the words '**-me' scratched on the face of the car in front of me, which almost drove me crazy. I've only been driving for a few days and I'm sent to the repair shop, can you imagine what the Ferrari mechanic looked at me? It's terrible. Sean's question seemed to poke Stockton's sore foot, and the whole person complained indignantly, followed by gritted teeth, "Don't let me know which bastard did it." I'm going to kick his ass! ”
“……”
Looking at Stockton, whose face was flushed and angry, Sean shook his head in disbelief, he sympathized with this unlucky guy, he could imagine how angry he would be if someone scratched his car.
"This doesn't seem like good news. But it doesn't matter, just take a vacation for the horse. Sean smiled and comforted Stockton, then said, "I asked Liv to help me book a BMW sports car, and I have an interview in the afternoon." That's why I can't be with you at noon. ”
Stockton was choked by Sean's words, and looked at Sean, who said that it was natural during the interview, with a constipated face, and felt helpless in his heart.
A rich man with a fortune of more than 400 million actually wants to go for an interview?
Looking at Sean's serious appearance, Stockton had a very ridiculous feeling.
Of course, Sean naturally did not simply go to the interview, but to attend a final audition for the advertising film commissioned by BMW North America to FallonWorldwide advertising design company.
I have to say that the energy of Yuntong is beyond imagination, and Sean called Liv before. Tell the other person that you need a BMW sports car. Amex quickly helped Sean get a sapphire blue BMW Z8 that he was driving now.
Sean had received an advertising contract from BMW before, so he naturally wanted to understand the meaning of the BMW brand and its movements. For this reason, he deliberately studied the history and latest trends of BMW while he was on the farm.
This BMW Z8 is the production model of the BMW Z07 Concept. It was only officially released at the end of 1999 and is now just landing in North America. Who would have thought that Yuntong would be able to help Sean get one, this sapphire blue Z8 is absolutely eye-catching.
Although it can't be compared with the classic 507, it is also a tribute to the 507 in many places, and even made Sean fall in love with this style of combining luxury and sports.
A sapphire blue BMW Z8 in the Manhattan neighborhood attracted a lot of attention.
Sean parked his car in front of an apartment, dressed in a black suit. Simply fasten the first button, loosen the bottom button, and simply accompany a light blue no-iron shirt.
"This should be it."
Retracting his gaze, Sean walked towards the apartment.
………………
"Please come in ......"
Hearing a slightly muffled voice from within, Sean pushed the door open. Walked into this room with a slight retro touch.
"Look who's coming! I knew this guy wasn't going to be late, and it looks like I won the bet. As soon as Sean walked into the room, the blonde-haired Madonna jumped off the desk and greeted Sean with a smile and a hug, "I'm so glad to see you, Sean." We just bet you're going to be late. ”
"Hey man, you've been in a good mood lately, I'm really worried that you're going to be recognized by the fans in New York and really get lost here."
Guy Ritchie smiled and clinked his fist with Sean, looked Sean up and down, and joked with a narrow smile, "You know, you're famous all over the United States right now, and your kidnapping of Angelina is so cool!" And your driving skills, as cool as you are! ”
Seeing Sean's face as usual, Guy Ritchie turned his head and pointed to the man with a cigar in his eyes and a mustache sitting on the sofa, "This is David Fincher, my friend and Sicony, I don't think you will be unfamiliar with this name." He is also the producer and producer appointed by BMW this time, so he is our top boss. This guy called me last time, and he was the interviewer for this audition, but you don't have to worry, David is very optimistic about you. ”
David Fincher?
Looking at the man sitting on the sofa with a cigar in his fingers, a beard, and a shirt, looking a little unruly, Sean couldn't help but be stunned.
Although he is not a typical director of commercial films, several movies in a row have made him a director who has parted ways with conventional film language, and he is also a super master in the film industry, and he can be regarded as a big director with a very obvious personal style in the United States.
His "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club" are regarded by many as classics among classics, although they are not in the category of cult movies, but they have influenced the development of many cult movies. This is a genius director who hides a dark style and creates his own "scarred" attributes.
"Welcome, Mr. Sean." David Fincher didn't seem particularly enthusiastic, nodded at Sean, and nodded Guy Ritchie and Madonna with a cigar, "Rich recommended you to me, and Siccone proved that you are a great actor." ”
After a pause, David Fincher's gaze turned to Sean, "I've seen all the roles you've played before, the corpse mover, the addict, the Harley Lone Ranger, and I heard that you also played the drug lord in Ted Demmy's "The Big Narcos" and the villain in Universal's epic movie. It seems that you are very shapely, and I like actors who are very shapely. I saw the potential of the previous three actors, and when Richie and Siccone recommended you, I decided on the people for this commercial. I think you should be able to satisfy BMW. ”
"Thank you." Sean didn't know what he was saying other than saying thank you. I always feel that the personality of this big director in front of me is a little cold.
"Not necessarily. You have the strength, plus I believe Richie's vision. And I don't think it's actually very useful. I just hope you can adapt to this advertising shoot. David Fincher smiled rather strangely as he said this, as if he had thought of something funny, took a puff on his cigar, and looked at Sean and smiled.
"I'll try." Sean nodded, and although he thought David's smile was a little strange, he didn't pay attention to it.
"Go and say hello to your director and heroine, I hope you can play this commercial with your heroine! Hehehe......" David Fincher smiled suddenly.
Director?
Heroine?
"Hey, David, I can feel the ridicule in your tone, do you think I'm going to smash this bullshit commercial?" Madonna yelled at David Fincher dissatisfiedly, and then glanced at Sean with a smile, "I am the heroine of your commercial." Do you think I'm going to smash it too? You know, I have hundreds of music videos and concerts. I think it's just too simple for me to make a commercial......"
Although Madonna said this, it still can't change her in front of David Fincher, a big-name producer, and she and Sean are only small actors. Although David Fincher used to be just a little MV director for her.
Sean would like to remind this proud star, "Your music videos and concerts don't seem to show any acting skills other than selling and thighs." But in the end, Sean held back the words. At the very least, Madonna in front of her is now full of confidence. Sean didn't want to interrupt her.
"Sean, here's the script, I think you're going to London in two days." Guy Ritchie carried a script and handed it to Sean, the script was not very thick, it should be the script of the commercial. Seeing that Sean wanted to flip through it, Guy Ritchie quickly stopped Sean's movements and smiled in surprise, "Man, you don't want to leave the three of us here to read the script with you, do you?" ”
Sean shrugged helplessly and put away the script. The four of them chatted in the apartment office and then met up for a big meal.
The sapphire blue BMW Z8 in front of the door surprised David Fincher, Guy Ritchie and Madonna. Madonna was amazed at how stylish Sean's car was, and it was quite beautiful.
Guy Ritchie and David Fincher were very satisfied with Sean's "conscientious" interview preparation. This can also be seen that Sean is very attentive in his preparation.
Especially when talking about the history of BMW, David Fincher glanced at Sean.
The success of an actor is inseparable from his talent, experience and hard work, at least Sean is in a state that makes David Fincher very satisfied.
No one hates hard-working people, even Guy Ritchie, who doesn't like framing actors very much, welcomes Sean's efforts. (To be continued......)
