Chapter 138: The Male Protagonist of the BMW Advertisement
"BMW advertising?"
Sean looked at Michelle who was looking at him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but spread his hands, "Michelle, you mean that BMW asked me to shoot an advertisement?" You're not kidding, are you? If it's a joke, it's not funny at all......"
Doug Liman and Mina, who were on the side, also looked at Michelle, waiting for her explanation. After all, this thing is a bit difficult to accept.
BMW, which is definitely one of the top brands in the global automotive industry, has even set off a huge whirlwind after it began to live in SUVs. With BMW's status, it can be said that its commercials and spokespersons are definitely world-class actors or sports stars, and Sean is obviously far from the level.
If Brad Pitt or Barty were invited by BMW to shoot commercials, it is acceptable, but Sean's level is really not enough.
Seeing the surprised eyes of the three people, Michelle shrugged his shoulders with a smile and took out a stack of materials from his handbag, "I also think it's a joke, but it turns out that BMW did send an advertising contract to name you to shoot a commercial." ”
Looking at the contract printed with the BMW logo, Sean and the other two looked at each other.
"I think this time 'Never Compromise' should give you a lot of points." Michelle laughed, "But no matter what, it's an opportunity." Being able to play the leading role in BMW's commercial film is definitely → a very important business development for you. I had thought about how to develop your business value, and advertising shoots were part of my plan. But you know, those plans are nowhere near as good as the current opportunity......"
Michelle's words are clear that photographing BMW can enhance Sean's popularity, spread his influence, and even develop his commercial value. Such an opportunity is indeed more useful than Michelle's plan at this stage. Not everyone can get an invitation from such a car giant to shoot a commercial.
Sean is also very aware of this, and isn't it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to shoot this commercial? But this kind of thing suddenly appeared to whom. It can be a little apprehensive.
"I understand your concerns, but anyway, it doesn't seem like a bad thing, does it? I think you should think about it, but of course, the decision is yours. Michelle picked up the supermarket convenience bag. Smiled, "I bought beef and potatoes, I think I can make you potato stew at noon, and you can also fry steak ......"
Michelle did not interfere with Sean's decision, and such an act made Sean's heart flow with a warm current. This made Sean feel that he had indeed made the wrong choice.
Just as Sean was stunned, the phone rang, interrupting his train of thought.
"Hello Richie."
"Man, you should have received the advertising contract, right?"
"Advertising contract?" Sean raised his voice to attract the attention of the three people next to him, and asked Guy Ritchie on the other end of the phone in confusion. "What advertising contract?"
"Of course, it's about the advertising actor I mentioned to you before. Oh God, you won't forget, will you? Guy Ritchie's voice rang out in surprise, and then he added, "But they must have sent a contract to your agency, right?" Didn't you receive it? ”
"Contract ......"
Sean looked down at the BMW contract in his hand and frowned in disbelief, "Are you talking about the car advertising contract sent by BMW?" ”
"Of course, what do you think? It looks like you should have been contracted. Then I think if you don't have any opinions, you can sign the contract and come to my side as soon as possible. There are some changes in advertising. I need you to come over and talk about it, do you have time for the next two days? ”
Looking up at the three Michelles, and then looking down at the contract, Sean promised Guy Ritchie's set time.
The phone hung up, and Sean looked strangely at the contract of the BMW he was holding.
"Looks like you know the origin of this advertising job?" Michelle looked at Sean with a smirk, "Then it seems that this job can show my role as an agent." I'll take care of it tomorrow. ”
"I'm sorry. Guy Ritchie and I had mentioned to him that he was going to shoot a commercial, but at the time he said that the advertiser needed to think about it before it could be decided. I didn't expect this so-called advertiser to, BMW! Sean shook his head with a wry smile and looked at Michelle apologetically, "Thank you, Michelle." ”
"That's good." Michelle smiled slightly. Turning into the kitchen, "I'm your agent, but I'm also your friend. ”
"Looks like you've been doing a good job lately." Doug Liman stared at Sean twice and smiled faintly, "But being invited by BMW is indeed an opportunity for you." ”
"The main reason is that I thought it was a little strange before. Maybe Guy Ritchie wouldn't have taken the ad if he hadn't made the call, after all, this is a BMW ......," Sean explained with a smile.
"Really?" Doug Liman asked rhetorically.
"God knows."
Sean shrugged and stopped dwelling on the matter. To be honest, Sean doesn't refuse to shoot commercials, but he doesn't particularly like this kind of commercial endorsement. It can only be said that it is natural. But all of a sudden, a giant comes to the door and asks you to be the male lead in their commercial, which has to make people wonder.
There is no wasted lunch in the world, and pie never falls in the sky. At this point, Sean is not so greedy. Many times, one of the advantages of successful actors over ordinary actors is called "recognizing themselves".
It's not a negative attitude, it's one that is more aware of yourself. Actors often need to be creative and can't be constrained. But sometimes there is a need to be able to see yourself clearly and not blindly. Speaking of which, actors are also an industry with a high elimination rate and unemployment rate, so if you really want to be a good actor, you can't lack this characteristic.
Otherwise, you can only become a star at most.
The lunch at noon was very rich, although Michelle did not cook for a long time, and in most cases it was Doug Liman himself, but it did not mean that this intellectual woman with charm was not good at cooking.
At the very least, the potato stew she makes tastes very good.
In the afternoon, the four of them sat in the living room while tasting the snacks prepared by Dougleyman, drinking afternoon tea, and watching TV.
"It seems that this year, in addition to Kevin Spacey, many people still think that Deniezer Washington has a good chance of winning the Oscar." Watching a guest discussion show on TV talking about the Oscars to be held tonight, Michelle pinched a piece of snack and slowly put it in his mouth, taking a sip of black tea, "I recognize his wonderful performance in "Hurricane", he is very likely to become the second black actor after Sidney Poitier." ”
"Why not Russell Crowe?" Sean smiled and pointed to the TV, "The theme of "The Insider" seems to be very much in line with the taste of the Oscar judges......
"No, no, no, the best actor will only be produced in Kevin Spacey and Denzel Washington, and I will admit that Russell Crowe did a great job in The Insider, but the first two are undoubtedly better than him. Relatively speaking, Kevin Spacey's disadvantage is that this is only his first time nominated for Best Actor, and he loses out to others in terms of experience. However, Denzel Washington has just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, which is also a huge disadvantage, you must know that in the selection of actors, this group of old guys does not like the Golden Globe Awards very much, although many people call it a weather vane......"
Michelle refuted Sean's words, but Sean had to admit that her words made a lot of sense. Although he would prefer his friend Russell Crowe to win the best actor, as Michelle said, Kevin Spacey and Denzel Washington's performances are indeed too wonderful for Russell Crowe to take advantage of.
This is also the reason why many media and film critics regard Kevin Spacey and Denzel Washington as the most popular candidates for actors.
"I think Kevin Spacey should be able to get the Golden Man." As if to meet Michelle's gaze, Doug Liman went on to say, "Even though he was nominated for Best Actor for the first time. But don't forget, he was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for the first time, but he won that trophy directly, and my qualifications are a weakness or disadvantage for others, but for him it is an advantage......"
Doug Liman paused, stared at the Oscar red carpet interviews that began to appear on TV, and smiled faintly, "You have to understand that with the Oscars falling into controversy in the past two years, and at the same time the influence of film festivals such as Cannes continues to expand, the Oscars are in need of attention now." And what could be more talked about than the legendary experience of being nominated for two Oscars and winning two awards? Do you think they're going to give the best supporting actor to this big star? If so, then this Oscar will definitely be regarded as a joke by many people. ”
At this time, Liangtang, who was in a suit and leather shoes, appeared on the red carpet with his snow-white cannon and stage, and the cheers of fans and fans on both sides of the carpet suddenly came from the TV. The beautiful soup on TV is like a magazine star, constantly stopping on the red carpet, waving to the fans around him, and frequently showing his signature sunny smile.
Looking at the sunny and handsome Tom Cruise, Sean also had to admit that this guy is really talented at the catwalk. Although he is not tall, he has the aura of a big star when he walks the catwalk. At the same time, he has a high skill in dealing with his relationship with fans.
In addition, his public relations team helped him create a handsome, sunny and positive image, which made him naturally very popular with fans, and at this point, he had a bit of the style of a white lotus in later generations.
That's the kind of person the White Lotus is talking about. At least in Sean's opinion, this guy's level of coaxing fans is not bad, and he is much better than his acting skills.
Listening to Douglifeman's evaluation of him, Sean couldn't help but smile.
Feelings: Tom Cruise came to the Oscars this time purely because he was guaranteed by the Oscars as a "box office"? It's not nice to say, it's pure accompaniment.
His chances of winning the award are basically equal to 0, of course, the high-spirited big star Liang Tang on the TV doesn't think so. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
