Chapter 325: What a Pity

"No, no, no, I don't think that's appropriate, if you include all of that, the movie will be too long." Christopher? Nolan stepped aside, shaking his head like a rattle.

"Since you want to put my life on the screen, of course, it is a full show, not just one or two key points, which doesn't mean anything at all." Sean said loudly, and limped after him with his cane, his fists clenched and waved, as if he was manic, but if he listened carefully, it would give people a passionate and contagious feeling.

Christopher took a deep breath and looked at Sean, who was standing in front of him, following from the door to the floor-to-ceiling window and then here, not giving an inch, and suddenly sneered: "Okay, Sean, relax, it's enough, I admit that your acting skills are excellent, okay?" ”

"You didn't shout that word." Sean shook his head with a serious face.

"That word?" Christopher was puzzled.

"Yes, that word," Sean repeated harshly, "you have to shout that word, it's the rule, it's a must!" ”

He stared at him and said heavily, while pinching his fingers with some irritability, looking like he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

β€œCut!” Christopher, who finally reacted, laughed and shouted, and then Sean blinked, and after a few seconds, he sat down on the couch next to him as if he had been cut off, and let out a long breath.

"Hell, I never thought it would be so hard...... Honestly, Christo, if you don't shout 'Cut' again, I'll probably really be on the ground. Sean said as he unbuttoned his shirt, and fine beads of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead.

Obviously, it has been more than ten minutes since he entered the house, and he has spent a lot of effort to maintain this state of being in the play - of course, the effect is also very good.

So Christopher didn't hesitate to praise himself: "Very wonderful, Sean, really wonderful, although you figured out Howard? Hughes's image is different from what I have in mind, but I still have to say that your efforts are admirable. ”

"Really?" Sean, who was still gasping, was slightly disappointed, "It's still different." ”

"You've done a great job, Sean, and I'm sure both Emma and Jonathan agree with me, don't you?" Christo turned to look at his wife and brother sitting on the other side.

"I have a question, Sean," Jonathan then pointed to the cane that Sean kept beside him, "Did you learn it on purpose?" ”

"Yes," Sean nodded, "I imitate how people with unarmed feet walk by watching the tapes over and over again - you know I can't go out in public right now to observe." ”

This sentence immediately made everyone present laugh.

"I'll have to admit that you've done a great job, Sean." Emma also clapped her hands in agreement at this time, and then half-jokingly said to her husband: "Congratulations, Christo, you already have a loyal fan who can do it for you?" ”

At this point, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then pretended to be relaxed and asked, "So, are you still thinking about Kim now?" Kerry? ”

Christopher, his wife and brother are planning to make a film similar to the legendary Howard of the 40s and 50s of the 20th century? Hughes-related films, which were the first news that Sean received two weeks ago when he attended the Nolan family's party before the Oscars; He's going to invite Kim? Carrey comes to play Hughes, and that's when Sean gets two pieces of news a few days after the party.

The first one isn't much, but the second one is too much, especially after Sean learned about Hughes's life.

"If you've watched 'The Man on the Moon,' you should know that Kim is a great actor." Here's how Christopher explains.

"Do you think when his face appears on the screen, the audience's first reaction is what will happen next, or will they control their desire to laugh?" This is Sean's rhetorical question.

Didn't he look down on Kim? Carrey, in fact, he still admires him a little, Sean has watched "The Man on the Moon", of course, "Strange Heroes in Disguise", "Dumb and Agua", and "Detective Plane Head" have also been watched, a person can not only play the kind of nonsensical crazy comedy role, but also play a serious drama role, and his acting skills are naturally quite level.

But the problem is that not everyone will interpret it from this perspective, and the audience will see Kim? Carrey's first reaction must have been, this is a comedy.

The reason why the Oscars discriminate against comedians, in addition to their own prejudices, is one of the factors that stand on their own, and the fixed image of comedians is not easy to change. Frankly speaking, it is more difficult for comedians to change their consistent image in the characters than idol actors, and idol actors can also change their fixed appearance in people's minds by self-destructing their images, and comedians will only make people feel more funny when they do this.

Chaplin's comedy is known as laughing with tears, but in the end, he still played a comedy role for almost a lifetime, so if Christopher let Kim? Is Carey playing Howard? Hughes, a well-known legend, is not guaranteed at the box office and word of mouth.

Of course, Sean admits that he would object to except Kim? In addition to being really unsuitable, Carey also had some selfish motives - after that day, he began to prepare for the role. Sean collected a lot of information about Hughes, trying to think about what kind of person he was as much as possible, in addition to practicing lame walking, he also tried his best to imitate the southern accent, because Hughes was born in Houston, and he didn't greet Zuihou, dressed himself up as a man in the forties and fifties, and showed his efforts in a surprise way.

Sean can't remember if Christopher had ever made a biographical film about Hughes, but out of trust in him in his previous life, he couldn't pass up any opportunity to be the protagonist of his film. But more importantly, does he like Howard? Hughes, after flipping through the other party's life, found that this guy was the hero of the novels he had read in his previous life.

It is said that only a few female stars in the golden age of Hollywood escaped from his palms, and at most, there were dozens of places where he hid in the Golden House in Los Angeles. Being able to do this is indeed a legend, and it is no wonder that he is almost a household name in the United States, making countless people envious, jealous and hateful.

If such an outstanding character's life is made into a movie, as long as the quality is good enough, there will be no shortage of box office and word of mouth. Although Sean lamented that he couldn't get to know him, it would be very good if he could play his whole life in the movie, or part of his life.

So he spent so much effort trying to impress Christopher, and in Hollywood, it takes ingenuity to get the role, and it turns out that he did it right, it's just ......

Christopher and Emma exchanged glances, then smiled wryly: "Frankly, Sean, I appreciate your seriousness, the character traits that can be shown without a script are very much in line with my vision, I think you have the ability to interpret a different Howard?" Hughes, but ...... Unfortunately, we couldn't make this film. ”

"Can't make it? weishenme? Sean, who was originally very happy, was stunned.

"Well," Emma explained, "we were approached by another producer who wanted to make a story about Howard?" Hughes's biography, but after the discussion, I was ready to pull the investment project to find out that there was already a similar film project. ”

"The same film project? You're saying that there are others who are also preparing to make Howard? Hughes's biographical films? Sean immediately asked.

"Yes," Christopher sighed, "is Martin?" Scorsese, who is said to have made a film about Hughes very early on. ”

"Martin? Scorsese? Sean looked at him stunned, as if he didn't know who this person was.

"It's a shame that he's one step ahead of me, so we'll just have to find another subject." Christopher sighed and made an apologetic gesture.

Sean covered his face and rubbed it, and only lifted it up after a while, looking at him angrily: "You should have told me earlier, Christo, do you know how much courage it takes for me to dress like this?" On the way here, many people pointed at me, as if they had seen an old antique, and Galen had to explain that I was just a guy who liked to dress up as a movie character on the Walk of Fame. ”

"Again, Sean," Christopher held his hands, "trust me, I didn't mean to, it's just that your performance is so good, I really want to see how far you can go, you're a very good actor." ”

"It's a pity that it's useless now," Sean raised his hands in a pretended grief, but quickly smiled again, "It's okay, it's good to lose it, maybe it's a good thing, it's good to have your affirmation, Christo." ”

He stood up and waved his hand generously: "Since this is the case, I will take my leave, and we will cooperate if we have the opportunity in the future." ”

"No problem, I'm looking forward to it, Sean, your performance today is an eye-opener for me." Christopher said nice things, and then exchanged glances with his wife, who immediately came closer after receiving an affirmative look.

"Actually, it won't be too long." He lowered his voice and said to Sean.

"Oh?" Sean was a little surprised and puzzled.

"Emma has a new idea, and I've reached out to some interested people," Christopher said, "I'm sorry I can't say it clearly, but I think it should be a few months before it happens." ”

"No problem, Christo," Sean immediately agreed, "I'll wait for you." ”

He reached out his fist and touched Christopher, and then said goodbye to Emma and Jonathan, before leaving their house with Galen and Sanders.

"It's a shame." After getting out of the car, Sanders said.

"Really?" Sean smiled, looking ahead as if thinking something, "Sandy, inform Fred and ask if he can talk to Martin?" Scorsese got in touch. ”
