"I can't help it, can I? Not even Sean, let alone a little assistant like me, so I can only sneak here, there are many actors under the age of 21 in Hollywood, and the conditions for selling alcohol in bars are relatively relaxed. Sanders recounted why he went to a Hollywood bar alone.

"Weishenme, you didn't say that before?" A middle-aged man asked with some curiosity.

"Don't you think that's too embarrassing, Sid?" Sanders made a helpless look, and before the passing, his current performance traces are not so heavy.

"That's true, but not even Sean?" Another middle-aged man picked up and looked at Sean, "Bars should be more tolerant of stars like you, right?" ”

"The bars furthest from our Malibu home are fine, but the closest ones aren't." Sean also shrugged helplessly.

"I heard that Malibu has a strict regulation of this kind of thing, and it's normal not to sell alcoholic beverages to you," Larry? Cohen then chimed in, "But don't worry, you won't have to worry about this this time next year." ”

Several of them immediately laughed, and Shaun and Saunders looked at each other, both shrugged their shoulders with a grin, and then turned their gaze to Cohen.

Although he is in his fifties, his hair is still very thick, his eyebrows are also thick, and he speaks with humor, but Sean always feels as if he is testing something, so he is a little hesitant.

But Sanders didn't think so, he had worked so hard to create a situation like tonight, how could it be wasted? Already kicked Sean under the bar a few times.

"By the way, Larry, you just said that you are a screenwriter and director, do you have any masterpieces?" Sean finally asked, then added, "I don't mean to offend you, but I always feel like I've heard your name somewhere." ”

"Don't you know, Sean, the famous 'Violent Police' trilogy is all Larry's script." Sanders immediately answered the canal next to him.

"Hey, Sandy," Cohen immediately exclaimed, "we all agreed to have a drink together and didn't ask each other about our work, and it was a little unfair that we all found out today that you were Sean's assistant, and you found out all about me." ”

"It's none of my business, Larry," Sanders quickly argued, "I heard Sid accidentally mention that you wrote the script for 'Violent Police,' so I rented all the tapes of the trilogy to reminisce." ”

"This ......," the middle-aged man named Sid scratched his head in embarrassment, "I seem to have said that...... I didn't seem to say anything......"

"Don't try to deny it, Sid, we all know that you are the most uncontrollable." Another middle-aged man said coaxingly.

"No," Sean, who had been pinching his chin in thought, said as he looked up and looked at Larry? Cohen's eyes lit up, "Larry, I recently got a script, a very interesting script called "Sniper Phone Booth", it seems to be your work! ”

Cohen raised an eyebrow, and his expression immediately became subtle, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly up, as if he wanted to smile.

Sean didn't feel very good in his eyes, as if the other party had guessed something, but on the surface he still looked calm, looking at him, waiting for him to reply.

"Sniper Phone Booth? What is that? ”

"Sounds weird, can you elaborate on that?"

The other two immediately asked with interest, and Sanders didn't miss the opportunity, pretending to be surprised and added: "Is that the script you were talking about recently?" What's that...... What scripts were Hitchcock interested in? ”

"Yes, that's it, it's said to have been conceived for a long time, and I once showed it to Hitchcock, and the other party was also very interested, but unfortunately it wasn't solved until the late 90s, how to leave a person in a phone booth for 80 minutes." Sean nodded, then looked at Sanders with an interested look: "Frankly, Sandy, are you still my assistant?" Shouldn't you have known this for a long time? ”

"Well......" Sanders was stunned, this was not a haode line, but his reaction was not slow, and he immediately squeezed out a sneering expression, "You know, I'm only responsible for arranging your work, and I'm not interested in discussing the plot." ”

It's a pity that it's still a little blunt, he is not a real actor after all, and most of the attention of several people is elsewhere, so it shouldn't be debunked.

"Tell me, Larry, let's hear it." There's Sid there, but don't worry about Cohen not being pressured.

"Okay, I can tell you, but don't take it out and spread it." Cohen quickly relented, glanced at Sean, and then began to speak.

Roughly the content is about the same, the salesman who wants to have an extramarital affair with nothing to achieve, after undoubtedly receiving a call from a phone booth, embarks on a thrilling journey. Although many times the story is written in a good way, and the story is not necessarily good to tell, Cohen is obviously not among them, and the short story is in his description, with various gestures, quite a bit of watching a movie.

However, because of this, Sean finally heard the full story, so he quickly frowned, and the ending didn't seem appropriate.

"Is this the right ending?" After thinking about it for three or four minutes, Sean finally asked.

"Any questions?" I was still saying that this story was very good, but I didn't expect the ending to be like this, and the two middle-aged people couldn't help but be stunned, and Cohen looked at Sean with interest.

"I think...... This in turn sends the wrong message to the public. Sean pondered the words.

In fact, when he first heard the name of "Sniper Phone Booth", his instinct was that it should be fine, but there are things to pay attention to. Sean didn't quite know what to pay attention to, and it wasn't until today that he heard about the ending from Cohen that he had a little realization.

“weishenme？” Cohen didn't say anything, Sanders looked left and right, and finally didn't speak.

"In the end, the sniper committed suicide, the guy who delivered the pizza at the beginning, but in reality it was just a substitute. And after the male protagonist Stu is put in an ambulance and given a sedative, the real sniper appears at the door to warn, he keeps an eye on him, and if he is not faithful to his wife, then such a thing will happen again. Sean repeated, "Isn't that tantamount to telling the audience that if you have a seemingly noble goal, you can trample on the law and your life?" ”

"No, no, no, I don't think so, in fact, this sniper is set up by us to be a mentally clean person," Cohen shook his head and denied, "He can't get used to some things, and he raises some problems that the law can't solve, so he has to solve them in his own way, just like that pedophile." ”

This situation is normal, and when everyone is faced with others questioning their work, especially if the other party is someone they don't know, the first reaction must be to defend.

"But one way or another, he killed someone, he put himself above the law." Sean retorted, knowing that such a straightforward approach might leave an unpleasant impression on the other party, but some words were not unpleasant.

Sanders was next to him and wanted to help ease a few words, but after thinking about it, he gave up, anyway, Jihua was just creating opportunities, and how Sean was going to do it was his own business.

"We might as well put the camera to the first time Stu enters the phone booth, the pimp doesn't say anything about the fat man who delivered Stu pizza, does he have any evil deeds? Weishenme, a guy who claims to save the people and never expects to be grateful, will use him as a substitute for the dead? Sean spread his hands, "What's more, Stu just wants to cheat, which is not enough to be killed anyway, right?" ”

"That's one of the purposes of that perverted sniper, as long as he achieves his goal, he won't care what means he uses." One of the two middle-aged men said.

"And what about weishenme that he didn't get the punishment he deserved? Even if it's just a little punishment? Sean immediately asked, "If there is no punishment, then it can naturally be seen that the director and screenwriter are acquiescing or even thinking that this kind of behavior can be promoted, so after the movie is released, if someone imitates shooting innocent pedestrians everywhere on a tall building with a gun, then public opinion may be very bad." ”

"And no one learns Kevin after watching "The Seven Deadly Sins"? Spacey is killing people everywhere. Cohen retorted lukewarmly, "I think, who is right and who is wrong, the audience still has their own judgment." ”

Sean blinked, and then smiled slightly, he kept paying attention to Cohen's expression, the other party was obviously a little moved just now, but at this moment he said such a thing, obviously it was still a matter of self-esteem, like a way for him to have a step down.

"I understand what you mean, Larry, and I understand and even agree with you to some extent, that movies do sometimes have a certain social responsibility, but it has to be correct, like, the characters who spread those points of view should be in line with their words." Sean looked at Cohen and said in a very sincere tone, "You see, the criminal played by Spacey in "The Seven Deadly Sins" keeps claiming to be God's spokesman, and he wants to use that extreme way to awaken the numbness of the people, so how did he do it? When he realized that he had also committed one of the seven deadly sins, he became jealous, so he did not hesitate to send himself to the altar. ”

At this point, he deliberately paused for a long time, waiting for Cohen and the others to digest the words before continuing: "And the sniper in "Sniper Phone Booth", what did he do? prides himself on saving people, but does not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of innocent people to cover for himself, and in the end he is not punished at all, and the audience will definitely not be happy. More importantly, it goes against what our country has always believed in the right to free choice! ”

If the previous words were not enough to impress Cohen, when the "power of free choice" was thrown, he had to be moved. Hollywood, or the media industry, is more politically correct than anywhere else, there can be no discrimination of all kinds, and the government cannot believe it, but it is always a small group of people who play conspiracy, most of them are haode, and the United States is always superior to its opponents and even enemies, and so on.

And the power to choose freely is also one of them, even if it is actually just, to do a certain amount of free things within a specified time and scope.
