Chapter 41: George Jung's Choice
Wilcher Avenue, Los Angeles.
In a neat and simple office, Ted Demmi is still dressed roughly, a floral shirt casually unbuttoned at the top, revealing the large gold chain around his neck. Seriously out of line with the style of the entire office. Filled with the smell of the nouveau riche.
"Ted, are you sure you're going to hand over the lead man of this movie to a little-known person? That's just terrible...... I mean, it might mess up your movie! ”
Joel Stillman looked at his partner Ted Demie and couldn't help but continue: "Or we can wait for Johnny Depp's schedule, you know, he's more reliable, and I think his image is also very much in line with your requirements." And not some American tough guy! ”
"Don't be impatient Joel, I said that when you meet him, you'll understand why I chose him to play the lead actor in this movie."
Ted Demmi calmed his partner's emotions, "You know, I'm not going to ruin my work. Sean is definitely a very savvy and hardworking actor, and he has a lot of potential! ”
Joel Stillerman, who was dressed in a crisp suit, looked at Ted Demmy's confident look and couldn't help but shake his head. I didn't listen to what the other party said.
"I'm not optimistic about the guy you're talking about."
As another producer of "American Drug Lord", Joel Thieleman naturally has a lot to say about the production of the film. It can be said that the reason why Ted Demi was able to prepare for the filming of "American Drug Lord" was because he made a lot of efforts.
Perhaps among many fans, the name Joel Thilerman is very inconspicuous or even unfamiliar. But in the American film industry, he has immeasurable ability.
Especially among independent filmmakers who are mainly second-tier film companies, he is indeed very famous. Many independent films have been helped by him, and Ted Damie is his best partner, and he has been one of the producers in many of the films directed by Ted Damie.
This filming of "American Narcos" is no exception.
"Maybe that Sean you're talking about might be late!" Joel Thieleman looked up at the time and turned his head in displeasure, "Ted, I don't like a guy who is late. ”
"Besides, that guy isn't as famous as Johnny Depp!" He added.
"Knock-"
Joel Thielemann had barely finished speaking when there was a knock on the door. Although extremely reluctant, he looked at Ted Demy, who was sitting on the sofa and shrugged his shoulders towards him, he still had no choice but to shout, "Please come in!" ”
Sean was a little apprehensive in his heart, but more confident. Sean believes that he is the best choice to play George Jung!
Hearing voices inside, Sean pushed the door open.
"You are?"
Looking at the people who walked in, Joel Thierman was stunned when he saw Ted Demmi beside him, his face was puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, who are you looking for?" ”
"Sean?"
Ted Demmy looked at the slightly familiar but plausible man in front of him suspiciously, and couldn't help but stand up, walked to Sean's side, and took off Sean's sunglasses, which confirmed Sean's identity and looked surprised at the same time.
Originally, Sean had black hair and a tall and strong figure, giving people the feeling of a mountain, full of muscle oppression. Usually a T-shirt with jeans and camel shoes, very American tough guy dress.
But in front of me-
He has long blond hair, wears a pair of black ultra-sunglasses, and wears a light-colored plaid shirt that, unlike Ted Demmy's shirt, is buttoned up on the top two buttons. The lower body is wearing jeans in the style of the 70s, and a pair of large leather shoes with pointed toes and long faces, which are shiny and shiny.
"Gentlemen, it's a pleasure to meet ......"
Sean flicked his long blonde hair slightly, his shoulders shrunk forward, and he pinched out a cigarette butt with a smile, and his accent was less West Coast tone and more tongue-curling, which seemed very frivolous.
"Shet!!"
The Shaun in front of him shocked Ted Demi for a moment.
"You're just ...... Oh buy karma! This is what I think of George Jung's early dress, you ...... Not only did you dye your hair, but you also lost weight? At least 15 pounds away! I can't believe it's you! ”
Ted Demmi looked at Sean incoherently, the most conspicuous but his hair was dyed blonde, which looked very eye-catching. At the same time, he also noticed that Sean had at least lost a lot of weight. For the surprise that Sean brought him, Ted Demmi made a decision in an instant.
"Joel! Did you see that? This is the actor I want! ”
Ted Demmy's tone was firm, looking at his partner next to him with a surprised face, "The hippie's big leather shoes with Boston's strict shirt wearing style, coupled with that flirtatious tongue curling sound, is so cool!" ”
"I know, I know ......" Joel Stillman nodded to understand his friend's excitement, and when he saw the beautiful man with long blond hair in front of him, he instantly thought that the other party was George Jung's best choice.
But Joel Thieleman was a little skeptical of Ted Demy's previous description of Sean, and couldn't help but look at Ted Demy.
"Dude, you said Sean is a big beefy man, and an American tough guy, but this guy in front of him is clearly a hippie!" Joel Thieleman felt that his old friend had been misleading him before.
"No, no, no...... I didn't lie to you......" Ted Demi took a deep breath, pointed to Sean in front of him, and told his friend, "He was at least 15 times heavier than he is now... Not 20 pounds! And the temperament is also masculine to the extreme! ”
He looked at Sean again with a shocked face and smiled incredulously, "Sean, can you tell me that it is you in front of me?" It's hard for me to imagine that you would make such a surprising change! ”
Seeing that the two people on the other side were shocked by their outfits, Sean was also relieved in his heart, and secretly clenched his fists.
"Of course it's me, Ted!"
As he spoke, Sean pulled his shoulders back, his chest straightened, and suddenly reduced the frivolous posture he had just now, and returned to the temperament of an American tough guy.
"Wow!"
Watching Sean's few movements made the whole person's temperament change, losing the previous decadent, frivolous, and impetuous feeling, and restoring his tough and masculine aura. This made Ted Demi and Joel both couldn't help but show surprise.
"Dude, I can't believe you're so good, it really blew me and Ted away. I'm starting to believe what Ted said about you now. Looking at Sean's strong body, Joel couldn't help but sigh.
can be so attentive to an audition, and the man in front of him is not trivial.
Joel knew that this man would have his place in Hollywood in the future. That's what he has to say about so many years of experience.
"Sean, you've lost weight, haven't you?" Ted Demmi looked at Sean with determination.
"I've eaten vegetables for more than half a month and lost 22 pounds!" Sean couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of his half-month eating career, "But this is not a good experience." I think I'll vomit when I see vegetables in the future. ”
"Oh-" Ted and Joel could imagine how Sean, who had lost 22 pounds in half a month, had survived for a while.
"I'm afraid you're going to have to do it again...... Ted said unbearably, "you'd better lose some weight, even better." ”
"Okay......" Sean shrugged helplessly.
"It's up to you, after all, you're a full-time producer." Glancing at his partner Joel, Ted Demmy smiled and joked to Sean, "You know, our funds are in Joel's hands. He's the big boss! ”
"Well, as you wish!"
Joel Thieleman smiled slightly, then turned his head and looked at Sean seriously.
"Sean, congratulations, you're the perfect choice for George Jung!"
"Thank you! Thank you Joel, thank you Ted! I'm honored to be able to get this role! Sean was very excited, looked at Ted in front of him, and was very grateful, "Thank you Ted, you gave me this opportunity, otherwise I would ......"
"I'm glad you had this opportunity...... Ted interrupted Sean with a sudden smile, a slight tease on his rugged face, "otherwise where else would there be such a satisfying surprise?" ”
At this moment, Ted Demi was glad that he had an idea.
I gave you a chance, and you did give me a surprise back! Looking at Sean, Ted Demmi thought with a smile.
"Okay, I guess we're going to celebrate, how about we get the right George Jung for the movie American Narcos?" Joel on the side took the red wine and three crystal glasses, filled them one by one, and raised his glass to invite, "Man, for the movie, cheers!" ”
"Cheers!"
Sean and Ted Demmi also raised their glasses at the same time and drank red wine together.
"I want to ......," Ted Demmi smiled as he picked up the bottle and filled his glass, "we should toast again!" Cheers to our cooperation! ”
"Cheers!"
Sean smiled and drained the red wine in the glass, and the whole person looked extremely excited.
"It looks like our "American Narcos" is going to be on the agenda!" Joel held the wine glass and looked at Ted Demmy, who was blushing and thick-necked, with a drunken face, "I think we'll be busy next!" ”
"Hiccup......
Ted Demi rubbed his head and frowned, "I need a prep team!" ”
"Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll start preparing for the film now." Joel paused for a moment and suggested, "So how about the film set to start shooting in mid-August?" ”
"No problem, I just wanted to say, the sooner the better! I think Sean thinks so too. Ted smiled and raised his glass.
"Of course!" Sean raised his glass and touched it with Ted, "I cherish my first chance to play the leading role!" ”
"Don't worry, man, you'll be the best George Jung." Joel complimented.
"That's right, Sean made me more hopeful about this movie!" Ted exhaled drunkenly and looked very excited, "This movie will definitely become a dark horse in the film market and the video market!" Definitely! ”
Sean watched as Joel and Ted discussed issues related to the film.
He smiled.
That's a good start, isn't it?
