Chapter 179: Thanksgiving
"Frankly, this time I'm on Fred's side and play the main roles in two movies for about the same time, are you really busy?" Regarding the schedule of "Ocean's Eleven" and "Fast and Furious", Sanders rarely stood opposite Sean, "Let's see, although "Perfect Thief" is scheduled to be closed in February next year, it has not yet started your role, "Ocean's Eleven" is very likely to start filming in early February next year, and "Fast and Furious" may be in early March, how can you have so much time to rest and adjust?" β
"As long as the schedule is arranged, it's fine, isn't it?" Sean moved out the words to deal with Frederick as they were, "It's up to you, Sandy, how to arrange the time reasonably and appropriately, how to communicate with the crew, and let them cooperate with my schedule, this burden is on you." β
ββ¦β¦ I'm starting to understand Fred. Sanders looked at him for a long time and said in a mocking tone.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem, I will let Fred cooperate with you." Sean smiled and patted him on the shoulder before adding, "Does he still think I need a bigger production?" Even "Ocean's Eleven" can't satisfy him, he thinks the investment is low, and I'm not the protagonist. I still insist that it is not suitable for pure commercial films with hundreds of millions of investments, but what he said also has some truth, so it is better to make up for the quantity with quality. The impact of enough high-grossing productions shouldn't be lost to a big production with an uncertain future, right? β
"Okay, then use your instincts to the fullest." That's all Sanders could answer.
For entering two crews at the same time, or entering two crews separately after ending a movie, Sean is really confident that he will complete his role. If you analyze it carefully, whether it is "Perfect Thief" or "Ocean's Eleven" or "Fast and Furious", these characters will not take him too much energy to create.
Especially the former and the latter, the former is just a prop master, there is not much to play in the rules, what really needs acting skills is the heroine and the two male protagonists, and when the time comes, just follow the director's instructions. The same is true of the latter, a young policeman who has just entered the industry goes undercover in the Speeder Party, and then falls in love with the criminal investment and falls in love with the other party's sister, Zuihou lets him go, which is really bloody enough.
Therefore, the highlight of "Fast and Furious" is not in the performances of the actors, but in the various flying car show-offs, as long as the story maintains basic rationality and brings a little suspense, the actors only need to be handsome and cool.
Although Sean is not very handsome, he can still show it if he wants to be sunny, and he has no figure, otherwise Frederick would not have won him a jeans advertisement. In addition, coupled with the contradictory maturity, it just matches this role, and it is not a problem to play him well.
The only thing that needs acting skills is "Ocean's Eleven", Sean got the role of a young pickpocket who was born into a family of thieves, and there are a lot of places to play with Clooney and Pete, plus he has to play a government employee to steal the password that the casino owner carries with him, that is to say, he has to act in the plot, which is still a little difficult.
However, no matter how difficult it is, it can't reach the level of "Sniper Phone Booth", and it may not even be as good as "The Genius Ripley", and Sean doesn't think he will be stabilized by Clooney or Pete, so it looks like a hassle, but as long as you get the crew, you don't have to worry about anything.
Besides, I may cause some changes, causing some movies to start filming early or postponement, and may even cancel the project, after all, I didn't have such an actor as myself in my previous life, and I don't know who played the original version of these roles I got.
Of course, Sean didn't know that some of them had indeed changed, such as the first "Fast and Furious" that was supposed to start filming this summer, but he didn't know that Weishenme had delayed until now. Shaun also doesn't know that some things are just the beginning, and next year is destined to be a very busy year.
Therefore, he is still struggling with the approaching end of the month, the upcoming Thanksgiving.
"I didn't want to go back at first, maybe it was the wrong decision." He told his two buddies what he thought, "Even though I haven't been home for two years, I really should go back and see, I'm not sure what's going to happen." β
"But you've promised your sister." Galen reminded.
"Yes, I know, but I didn't say 100 percent I would go back," Sean shrugged, "in case I go back and fight again...... So why don't you bring my mom here and let the old man spend Thanksgiving alone at home. β
Then he thought of something and gave a wicked smile: "Of course, I can call my mother in private, tell her not to tell anyone, and let Liana stay at home with the old manβwhat do you think?" β
When I turned my head to look, I found that Galen and Sanders were both ugly, and even had a look of recklessness.
Sean was stunned for about five seconds before he reacted, and immediately Haha laughed dryly: "Okay, okay, I'll inform Liana personally, it's always okay, right?" β
After a pause, he said, "Why don't you invite your own mother over?" Now there is no one to play on. β
"Go!" Galen and Sanders gave him a middle finger.
Then, the cell phone rang, and it happened and unfortunately it was Liana who called.
"Are you ready? Don't tell me you want to escape. "That's the first thing I said over there, it's Sean's sister.
"Hmm...... This ......" Ben came to his lips, but involuntarily swallowed it back, although Sean was doing haode mental equipment, he was really not sure that Liana would not use a V-shaped golden saw or a spinning spark against himself after hearing it.
"That's the idea?" There was a sigh over there, and surprisingly didn't say much.
"I don't want to ruin Mom's Thanksgiving," Sean coughed dryly, "So, I thought, maybe I could invite her over and come to Los Angeles for Thanksgiving." β
"And then left Dad alone at home in San Francisco?" Liana laughed scoffed.
Now that it's all come to this, Sean doesn't stop doing it: "You can accompany him over there." β
With that, he took a sharp breath and took his phone away a little, but he didn't hear the expected scathing answer, just a few minutes of silence.
"Are you still there, Liana?" Sean asked cautiously.
"Daddy wants you back." Liana whispered.
"How...... How can it be! Sean's eyes widened immediately, and he almost didn't hold his phone steady.
"That's it, think for yourself." I didn't say anything more, and hung up the phone.
Sean stood there a little blankly with his mobile phone, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard, that stubborn and stubborn old man who wanted to save face wanted to go back?!
On November 22, the day before Thanksgiving, Sean, who completely left the affairs of Los Angeles to Galen and Sanders, returned to San Francisco after a few hours of driving. Despite being away for two years, not much has changed here, time seems to pass slowly, and the only thing that is noticeable is that there are far fewer public phone booths on the streets.
When filming "Sniper Phone Booth" before, screenwriter Cohen said in the narration of the story that as mobile phones become more and more popular, these public phone booths will only become fewer and fewer, and Zuihou will be completely eliminated. Mobile phones will only become more and more powerful, and smartphones will appear in about another seven or eight years, and every time he thinks of this, Sean can't help but sigh, if only he had the money to buy Apple stock in the first place.
After parking the car in a parking lot not far from his home, Sean slowly walked down the familiar street with his luggage, although he deliberately drove the Mercedes CL600 back instead of the 1967 Mustang GT500 classic he recently bought - the old man didn't like the models that were all the rage in the seventies, so since he was all soft in disguise, Sean naturally had to make a gesture.
However, after all, he didn't come back for so long, and he still missed this place very much, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, so he simply parked in the parking lot and walked all the way back.
I just walked for more than ten minutes, and I didn't meet half of the familiar people, so I was really depressed, you must know that tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and today is a holiday, and there are not many people on the streets outside the community as usual, so I really don't know what to say. This is the American characteristic, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets of the community during non-holidays.
In any case, there are only about 300 million people living in an area of nearly 4 million square miles, and there are more habitable plains than mountains, so there are far fewer natural people in the distribution. Therefore, the scenes in the movie where people are killed on the streets of the community but no one sees them are not untargeted.
Soon, Sean will be able to see the slightly baroque roof of his family's 800-square-foot villa, and even though it's winter, the vines that climb the walls haven't completely lost their leaves, which is very eye-catching in this neighborhood.
With a soft sigh in his heart, Sean quickened his pace and took a few more minutes to reach the door, to his surprise, the door was wide open, as if he was waiting for someone on purpose.
It probably wasn't me. He said this in his heart. He didn't call home when he left Los Angeles, and he repeatedly told Galen and Sanders to keep quiet, and as for his sister, she couldn't possibly know when she would return.
Stepping into the villa's vestibule, the grass is still full of vibrant green, and the surrounding landscape is largely unchanged, with blooming flowers, oddly trimmed shrubs, and ...... A tall figure holding it.
Looking at each other, stunned, surprised, annoyed, and with countless contempts, Sean even felt as if he had seen a little bit of light, and then, the next second-
"You bastard still has the face to come back! I dropped a letter and went to Los Angeles, wandering around outside, not to mention being an actor! Aren't you already an adult? So what are you doing now?! β
