Chapter 258: It's decided
On the vast golf course, from time to time there are two or three people laughing and swinging, a few battery cars are parked on the grass, and a few caddies are standing in the distance, which is very harmonious with the surrounding scenery.
This is the owner of Endeavour Elite Agency, Ali? Emmanuel's invitational tournaments at the top golf clubs in Orange County are private invitational tournaments. Well, to put it simply, Emmanuel, who loves golf, often invites some friends to play here, so Wahlberg often comes, even though he is terrible.
So when he met Sean, who had worse ball skills, and the two had a good relationship after the last Yujian, and they usually communicated a lot, so he invited him to come over too, anyway, Emmanuel had a good impression of Sean and Frederick.
In this case, Wahlberg naturally hoped that Sean would play a few more shots, instead of standing here and chatting with his friends, but he didn't expect that after teasing him a few words, such a question would arise.
"Owe you a movie? weishenmeοΌ Wahlberg asked with a somewhat surprised smile.
"It's very simple, I only got the idea of singing after listening to you," Sean said seriously, "You originally released albums, and several songs are now circulating again, right?" β
"And then?" Wahlberg spread his hands.
"I also wanted to release a song that would still be around for a few years, so I had the song 'YouRaiseMeUp', and so I had the situation where anyone could make fun of me." Sean raised his eyebrows and spoke, looking very dissatisfied, "So, I want everyone to know that if anyone dares to tease me with this, then they must pay the price!" β
"So you're on me?" Wahlberg made a clear appearance.
"Who made you right in front of my eyes?" Sean said unceremoniously, "The thought that I'm going to the Kodak Theater tomorrow for a rehearsal and not getting a nomination makes me want to vent." β
"You can choose not to go," Wahlberg deliberately put on an instigating face, "You can tell the film school with your own actions, fuck you, don't even give a nomination, Lao Tzu won't do it!" β
"That's a great idea, and then I got on the film school blacklist, and you have one less competitor." Sean glared at him and said angrily.
"Of course," Wahlberg immediately dazzled, and it took a while to calm down, "Well, I do have a role here, if you really want to, maybe you can try it." β
"Oh?" Sean was a little surprised, not only him, but Frederick, Galen, and Sanders.
Everyone knows that Sean's sentence "You owe me a movie" is a joke, but I didn't expect Wahlberg to say yes. However, just one look at his smiling appearance knows that this character may be eccentric.
"Of course it's true, it's just that this character is a little bit of a problem." Wahlberg's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
He is the kind of person with a tough appearance, and now he makes this kind of expression, no matter how you look at it, it gives people a weird feeling.
"It's okay, it's nothing more than a supporting role for you, I don't mind, and maybe I can steal the limelight from you as the protagonist." Sean put on a generous face.
"I'm sorry, Sean, you guessed it wrong, but I'm talking about the role of the main character, one of the main characters in the movie I'm starring in," Wahlberg laughed very pleasantly, "but this is a villain, a villain who will be killed by me - and I can't say that I will kill him, he should be humiliated by me." β
"Really?" Sean grinned, "When you say that, I become interested, and speaking of which, I have never played a villain." β
"It's a remake of Paramount, right?" Frederick interjected.
"That's right, it's that movie, "Mission Italy", although it is a remake, the script is still very good." Wahlberg nodded, not displeased by the obvious questioning in the other man's tone.
As an agent, it is natural for Frederick to be suspicious of his clients, this is a remake after all, and he must have heard of it.
"Let's tell me more about what the hell is going on." Sean's gaze moved back and forth between Wahlberg and his agent, and then raised an eyebrow and asked.
"As I said, Paramount decided that the 30-year-old film was a good idea and would be a good fit to be reshot in the current setting, so they put up the project and invited me to play the male lead. Ali thought it was okay to try, and I thought the script was pretty good, so I agreed, but some people obviously didn't think so. Wahlberg said simply.
"The one who was hired by Paramount to play the villain?" Sean immediately asked.
"Yes, Edward? Norton," Wahlberg said, shaking his head and smiling, "he didn't like the script, and he didn't like his character, so he turned it down without much thought." But Paramount didn't know what to think, he had to play it, and Norton happened to have a three-part contract with them, so it was in a stalemate. β
"So you're kidding me, Mark," Sean said immediately, "and since Paramount has to play Norton, and he has a film contract with them, there's no room for excuse at all." β
"Let's try," Wahlberg shrugged, "how do you know if you can't do it without trying?" I think they're going to get to this point where they don't even think about finding someone else, and it's probably because no one comes out to play the round. In this case, if you don't intervene, you may be able to gain friendship on both sides. And, even though the character is a villain, there's no shortage of places to play either, and I'd love to work with you once too, and to be honest, you did a great job on Dance on Death Row, and the Academy of Motion Pictures does owe you a nomination. β
He said it seriously, but his eyes flickered a little, making it impossible to determine whether this was his sincere words, so Sean grinned: "In the end, you still want me to play the villain, and you are still the villain who was humiliated by you." β
Wahlberg immediately laughed again, spreading his hands and not spending more, while Sean looked at Frederick beside him.
"You decide." After thinking for a long time, the agent said, "The script is really good, I've read a little bit, but I don't think you're suitable to play the villain role now." β
He grabbed his hair and looked a little helpless, after all, when it comes to picking roles, Sean is more self-conscious many times.
In this case, Sean couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, wanting to fulfill his wish once again to show respect, but Wahlberg's seductive voice sounded again: "It's very easy for a villain to perform brilliantly, didn't you also say it, Sean, maybe you can steal the limelight from me." β
"You've been so painstaking, Mark." Looking at the other party's smiling face, Sean said angrily, "If ......"
"That's right, that's right, there's one more thing," Wahlberg interrupted with great interest before he could finish speaking, "Charlize is the heroine?" Theron, that's a big beauty, Sean, South African diamonds. β
He squeezed his eyes as he spoke, no different from those guys who sacrificed themselves to create opportunities for their friends, which made Sean involuntarily twitch the corners of his mouth, has his name already spread?
"Would you be so generous, Mark? Introduce such a beautiful woman to me, not ...... yourself" Sean narrowed his eyes and made a "you know" look.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I'm already a girlfriend andβ" He paused, putting away his previous playful expression, "I love her." β
This sentence was said with certainty, and it could be seen that he was serious about the woman in his mouth, so Sean immediately patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, congratulations, Mark." β
"Xiexie," Wahlberg smiled slightly, and then, just for a second, he was back to his old form, "how's it going, how have you thought about it?" There aren't many opportunities like that, Sean. β
"You guy......" Sean rolled his eyes, "Okay, I'll try then." β
At the same time, he gave Frederick a "don't worry" look: "But what the result is, I don't care." β
"No problem, I'll get in touch with Paramount as soon as I can, and I'll let you know when there's news," Wahlberg said, waving his club, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business." β
"Oh, forget it, I'll just watch you play." Sean immediately raised his hands to excuse himself.
It's a pity that Wahlberg didn't give him a chance, put his arm around his shoulder, and walked to the side where he was playing: "Don't grind like a, you are all here, how can you not play two shots." β
"That's right, Sean, try two shots, maybe you'll get better and better." Sanders and Galen followed.
Sean rolled his eyes, no doubt they couldn't wait to see how he made a fool of himself, these two bastards!
Needless to say, in short, his results were miserable, either swinging in the air or hitting the ball flying aimlessly, so that the people watching couldn't help but want to cover their foreheads.
In the beginning, Ali? Emmanuel will also find a way to praise a few words, he has a good impression of Sean, and he is also very optimistic about him, and he will chat a few words when he meets him at the agency, but when it comes to Zuihou, even he doesn't know how to round Sean.
"Well, at least...... You didn't twist your back. That's all he could say, after Sean swung hard and spun around.
"So, my jishu is still pretty good, isn't it?" Wahlberg said triumphantly beside him.
"Poor Sean." Frederick muttered, his gloating expression hidden under his smile, not wanting Galen and Sanders to show them explicitly.
Well, let's get this out of the way, after all, Sean has never played golf and is not interested in the sport, even though he went to the golf course with his father more than once as a child. Of course, in the future, he may make some contact for social reasons, but for now, he still focuses on important things.
