Chapter 18: Can You Give Me a Chance?

Joseph didn't have the heart to stay here, although he was annoyed that Cage was making his own decisions, but since he was still Nicolas Cage's agent, he had to ensure Cage's interests.

Of course, this is also to ensure their own interests.

Therefore, he will speed up to help Cage deal with the movie "Family Man".

This is also the quality of a professional broker.

And he doesn't want to lose a superstar like Nicolas Cage until he has to.

This is the nuclear weapon in the hands of every broker.

Among the five major Hollywood agencies, there are very few people who can have brokerage contracts with these stars.

It's more about resource sharing.

So what he has to do is not to get angry with Nicolas Cage, but to exchange work for money.

On the other hand, Joseph is also very competent.

Unfortunately, Nicolas Cage wanted more than just dollar bills.

It is not unreasonable that money is the root of all evil.

Ted regretted not inviting Nicolas Cage to play his film adaptation, which took years to make.

And he was also quite annoyed by Nicolas Cage's attitude.

But the other party is a big star, he is just a dispensable second- and third-tier director in Hollywood, and a director like him is a big deal in Hollywood.

Joseph's departure made Ted's face even more gloomy, this guy is the most evil vampire in Hollywood, when he first talked about this movie, not only did the lion open his mouth to ask for tens of millions of salaries, but also had a box office share.

thought that this would be fine, but in the end I found that the other party was just playing tricks on himself and making myself happy in vain.

Ted looked around at the busy staff, not wanting to stay here for a moment.

He always felt that many staff members looked at him in the eyes, and they were clearly looking at fools.

"Look at that fool who came to Cage with a script in his hand, it's wishful thinking at all! Maybe that's what these guys think of me. Ted glanced around, turned away with a dark face.

"Director Ted, please stayβ€”"

Ted was in a trance when he heard a magnetic sound, and turned to see a tall, hard-faced man with deep black eyes standing behind him, and he was sure that he had heard correctly.

"You are? Do you know me? ”

"My name is Sean Rodrigueg Clos, and I'm playing a supporting role in 60 Seconds. Sorry, I just heard your conversation, and I don't mean to be offended. Sean introduced himself and apologized for the behavior he had just heard the other person talk.

"Sean?" Ted waved his hand to show that it didn't matter, then looked at the man in front of him curiously, and asked suspiciously, "Do you have something?" Now that you've heard that, and you know that I don't want to stay in San Francisco right now, I just want to rush back to Los Angeles. ”

"That's right, I'd like to talk to you about your new movie. I mean......" Sean took a deep and nervous breath, wondering if he was stupid.

But there is no way, for himself, the rough man in front of him, maybe it is an opportunity, although this opportunity is very slim.

"I mean, can I play a role in your movie. I know this proposal may seem frivolous, but I do want to play a role in your film. I wanted to try to see if I could play a role. Sean hesitated, and his tone slowly became more and more firm.

"Huh? You're saying you want to play a role? ”

Ted thought he had misheard, and looked at the man in front of him in surprise, who was originally nervous, but then looked very confident, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Man, if you're joking, I'm going to say that your joke makes me laugh." At least there's someone chasing my script, isn't there? ”

Speaking of which, Ted paused and looked at Sean incredulously, "But, if you're serious, I might think my ears are wrong. Otherwise, I can't think of anything else. ”

"I know it's a bit abrupt, but ......"

Sean couldn't help but point to himself with a wry smile, pulled out his clean trouser pocket, and took it out, "Can I say that after I finish filming this movie, I'm going to face unemployment?" Maybe you think it's incredible, but it's true, and I'm not kidding. Do you think a penniless person would play such a joke on you here? ”

"Dude, I have a lot of sympathy for what happened to you, but, damn it, why would my movie use a poor bastard who I don't even know how to act, and who has nothing?"

The unkempt, unruly Ted seemed too hot, grabbed his collar and fanned the wind, glaring at Sean.

"Can you give me a chance?" Sean stood there, his eyes fixed on Ted, and the words seemed to drain all of Sean's spirit.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A short, stocky middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt and an elongated beard kept fanning the wind, looking up at the young man in front of him with a sturdy figure, a handsome face, and a determined and deep eyes.

"Please give me a chance." Sean solemnly repeated.

"You know what? Sean, I'll call you Sean. You can call me Ted. ”

Ted sighed and shook his head at Sean, "There is no shortage of opportunities in Hollywood, but behind the opportunities, there are countless people working hard. You never know if the guy who smiled at you last second had a gallows behind you. ”

Sean listened silently to Ted's words, thinking about the meaning of his words.

"It's a film I'm directing, and it's actually a business. Maybe you're good, maybe you're just showing what you seem. But none of that matters. What matters is what you can bring to the table in this business. ”

Ted pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Sean, a smile on his lips, "You know what? At the top of my cast list is Nicolas Cage, because he is the most able to bring benefits to people.

The second was John Reguizamo, because I was very impressed with his performances, and it was cheap and resembled the owner of the biography.

Maybe Johnny, who is working with Burton, is also a good choice, but he is a bit short, but his acting skills are very good, and in some audiences, he has a huge appeal. ”

Sean was about to speak, but Ted raised his hand to stop Sean from speaking. "Don't talk, listen to me man."

Ted took a hard drag on his cigarette, "You see the first one, it can't be." The second one told me before he came that he would not participate, and he had arranged it. As for the third place......"

Ted seemed to laugh at himself and smiled, "I'm afraid I'm not as charismatic as Tim Burton." Although he has not explicitly rejected me, I don't think he will give up on working with Tim and throw himself into my arms. The best result is that the filming of this drama is extended and his time is accommodated. ”

Sean looked at the director in front of him who he had never heard of, and could understand the self-deprecation in his heart.

"Stop me today and let me give you a chance. What do you want me to say? I also want them to give me a chance. I'm sorry, I can't give you this opportunity. ”

Ted seemed to want to take a serious look at the man in front of him, and the dilemma that the other party was facing was not the dilemma he was facing.

Sean was silent for a moment, looked up, and smiled, "Thank you, Ted, I see." Looks like we won't be able to drink together today. You must hate San Francisco. Sorry, Ted, for the delay. ”

After saying that, Sean and Ted apologized, smiled and waved away.

"Look at that guy, it's stupid to sell himself!"

"Mediocre guy, do you want to take the role of Nicholas? Even if Cage doesn't want it, it won't be his turn! ”

"Cut, it's just a small role in a play, do you really think you're a big star? Shet, what an idiot!"

Many people secretly paid attention to Sean and Ted. When they saw Ted's rejection of Sean, many people around couldn't help but laugh. Everyone looked at Sean with sarcastic eyes.

Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Sean fell silent.

Maybe I'm mediocre and shouldn't have thought about it.

Maybe I'm a head shorter than others by nature, and I shouldn't think about getting ahead.

Maybe I'm really inferior to others, it's all cranky.

Perhaps, I am just a country kid of a small farmer, and the opportunity should not have been given to me!

All this is destined by God, by man, by God, in this life, I was just born lowly.

With every step Sean, a wave of self-deprecation rose in his head.

In an instant, Ted suddenly felt the anger and loss in his heart just now, and the lonely back in front of him seemed to be a copy of himself just now. The same ridiculed, ridiculed.

Everyone thinks he's a fool.

An opportunity? Good! I'll give it to you! But, see if you can grasp this opportunity.

"Hey, man, if you want, you can check out the Bruce Potter novel, my script is based on that novel. If you want this opportunity, you can come to me in Los Angeles. Here's my number! Remember, if you want to take advantage of the opportunity and prove to me, you deserve it! ”

Ted shouted at Sean's back, then took a cigarette in his mouth, tore off a piece of paper and threw it on the ground, leaving without looking back.

Little one, I'll give you a chance!

So, can you surprise me? 、

Ted Demmi thought to himself.

With Ted Demy's voice, the air seemed to freeze, and it was so oppressive that it made people breathless.

For a moment, everyone was stunned!

For a moment, all sounds were still.

The rest is all incredible, all stunned, all unexpected.

No one thought that the unruly old man with a scruffy beard would actually give Sean a chance.

At this moment, there is envy, jealousy, secret hatred, and sneering.

Sean, however, lost his mind, amazed and incredulous, and then all his emotions turned to excitement, and his eyes were fixed on the piece of paper that had been thrown on the ground.

Very random pieces of paper, torn, torn off casually. But, no one underestimates it.

It's unremarkable, but no one ignores it.

This piece of paper is so mocking of the reality of this comic comparison.

"Ted Demmy?" Bent down and pick up a piece of paper with a name and a string of phone numbers on it.

"Hahaha......"

"Coconut hiss! Coconut sizzle! Coconut sizzle! ”

Sean burst out laughing, followed by a low, suppressed roar of excitement, his fists constantly swinging hard in the air, as if to vent his frustration.

At the same time, it also seems to break all the doubts, ridicule, and ridicule around you!

Even if you say that I am willing to be mediocre, I still insist on my non-divisive thoughts!

Even if you see that I am a head shorter than others, I still want to get ahead!

Even if I'm really inferior to others, I'll still think about it.

Maybe it's all predestined, but I never pee on it;

Maybe everyone is destined, but I just don't accept people;

All this is really arranged by God, but I don't believe in God!

Who said I was born low?

Who says I'll never be as good as a man?

Who says I'm cranky?

Who says I'm unrealistic?

I want to be high, I want to be above one person, I want to be loud, I want to be done!

I now have unlimited talent, I will also have the will that I can't beat, and I will have a brilliant life.

I was born taller than you!

Looking around at the people around him, Sean's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

This piece of paper is not only an opportunity, but also gives Sean great courage.

Maybe I'm not the first choice, I'm not the second choice, and even I'm not the fucking tenth choice!

But, I will make you understand that you can only choose me!

Because, I am the right choice.

You have to admit that I was the best choice!

Sean's excitement was palpable, and Duke, who was not far away, was in tears.

"Shet! Bastard guy, country boy! I knew you could! Bastard! After Duke choked up and scolded Sean, he couldn't help but scold Ted Demy, "Fake! You should give him a chance! You've made a wise choice! Bastard, you'll be glad you go! ”

As for you guys!

looked at some of the staff around who were sneering and dodging, including the prop master who hated Sean and made trouble for Sean during the filming but fulfilled Sean, all of them dodged with their tails between their legs.

"It's just a bunch of soft eggs, no big bird!"

Tough guy, what the hell is it? It's not just about having perfect muscles, it's not about pursuing extreme sports, and it's not about having hard fists.

A tough guy is someone who dares to impact his dreams and constantly fights for them! All those who have dreams and pursue their dreams are tough guys and gentlemen!

Die for your ideals, go crazy for your dreams!
