Chapter 595: She Still Wants to Be a Bald Girl?
Walking into Warner Studios in Burbank, Robert Jr.? Donnie took off his sunglasses with a big grin, didn't pay attention to the surprised eyes around him, and didn't wait for the battery car to arrive, and walked towards the appointed audition location.
The agent behind saw this person's appearance and hurried a few steps to chase after him, "Robert, can you be serious?" This is your best chance to get back into the mainstream film industry. ”
"Where do you tell I'm not serious?" Robert Jr.? Donnie turned his head to look at the agent, still looking the same way, "Ryan? Jenkins's films, the mainstream can't be more mainstream......"
After speaking, he sighed, when he was popular, Ryan? Jenkins is just a kid, and now? The status of the two is almost as far as that of Burbank to Sacramento.
Although he is trying to get rid of drug addiction, Hollywood studios still don't want to see him, and he was even fired from a cameo TV crew.
Well, he admits that it was a consequence of a relapse in drug addiction.
Since then, he has worked hard to get rid of drugs, but it is difficult to get rid of the plummeting acting career.
In the past three years, he has only shot one movie called "Ghost Man", which is still a low-budget genre film, and by now, he has almost forgotten what it is like to act in a movie.
In the same way, Hollywood is probably about to forget about itself, right?
hasn't appeared in mainstream movies for so long, how many people still remember that talented little Robert back then? Downey?
"Robert, this is a rare opportunity."
While walking along the way, the agent was still beside him and kept admonishing, "This character has many rivalry scenes with Ryan, and this movie has caused a sensation when it has just begun to prepare, and it is a legendary CIA agent in itself, and it will definitely arouse fanatical attention from the media and the public, and most importantly." Ryan's movie is basically synonymous with success, and those who have read the full version of the script say that this movie will definitely become an Oscar hit as long as it is completed. ”
Despite being a jerk enough in character and habits, having experienced so many setbacks over the years, little Robert? Downey wasn't the little Robert of his youth either? Downey, he knows that if he can't get out of his current bad state, his career as an actor will go all the way down, and his life will fall into a deep valley.
As the agent said, this is a good opportunity. Ryan? Jenkins is almost synonymous with success, how many people have his movies become popular?
Robert Jr.? Downey comes from an acting family and has never seen it, who else in Hollywood can compare to Ryan in movies? Jenkins.
Box office, money, awards, these are never lacking in each other, and even if the movies produced are always successful, they are so in line with the mainstream taste.
Even he felt that this was incredible, and even a little admired.
The agent continues to ramble, Robert Jr.? Donnie is still like that. went all the way to the studio where the crew of "Argo" auditioned.
"Don't worry!"
Robert Jr.? Downey patted the KK agent the shoulder, "Sam, I know it's not easy for you to get me this audition opportunity, I'll cherish it." ”
Even if it's for the father who came forward to call in person. He'll try it once, too.
After a few years of confusion, little Robert? Downey has understood one thing, he is nothing in Hollywood, and no one is indispensable in this circle.
Well...... Ryan? Jenkins may not be on that list. Think so. He walked into the studio.
"Whose phone number?"
On the bus to Burbank Airport, Nicole looked at Ryan who hung up the phone, "Someone came forward to ask you for a role again?" ”
"Hmm~"
Put your phone away. Ryan nodded and said a few words, "Old Robert? Donnie, the call for his son, Robert Jr.? Downey will be auditioning for the "Argo" crew today. ”
"He's addicted?" Nicole asked curiously.
"Who knows." Ryan himself doesn't care much about this, and there are countless people who smoke cocaine in Hollywood, "as long as he can control it and not affect the normal operation of the crew." ”
"So, you're interested in him?" Nicole recalled, "I remember that shortly after he came out of prison, you had Pat sign him. ”
"Don't you think he's bohemian with Tony? Is Stark similar? Ryan didn't mean to hide it.
"Oh......" Nicole rolled her eyes, "Drug-addicted Iron Man......"
She shook her head.
Hearing about drug use, Ryan suddenly thought of the person in front of him who also had a bad record, "Nicole, you still have a big cigarette. Hemp? ”
"No, I'm not an addict."
She shrugged her shoulders and whispered into Ryan's ear, "If we have time, we can try it together, oh...... Remember the last time we were together? It was the most wonderful enjoyment, you get excited......"
"Need to try it now?" Ryan looked over and her blue eyes were full of danger, Nicole quickly stepped back and pointed out the car window, "Okay, the airport has arrived." ”
"Don't forget Alison's gift to Emma."
After reminding Nicole, Ryan gently hugged her, kissed her soft red lips, and let her out of the car, until he watched Nicole and the bodyguard assistant disappear into the airport hall, which made the driver restart the black Rolls-Royce.
Nicole flew to England to prepare "Paddington Bear", and he went straight to Warner Studios.
However, Ryan came a little late and didn't see Robert Sr.? Donnie's son, after the other party's audition, left directly.
"How does it feel?"
Sitting in the office set up by the crew, Ryan asked George? Clooney, "Can you meet the requirements?" ”
No matter what the favor is, if the other party's audition can't even reach the level, there is nothing to talk about in Hollywood.
"It's not a big problem in terms of acting."
George? Clooney was obviously not worried, "if he goes wrong halfway......"
Shaking his head, he also received old Robert? Downey's phone call, but he thinks that the risk is a bit big, after all, this is a work that he values very much, and even if he plays well, it will not be a problem to go around the Oscars.
"That's right."
Just as he was thinking, the assistant brought coffee, Ryan said thank you, and then made a decision, "George, if he can meet the requirements in the later auditions, we will sign a special contract with him just like the crew of "Ghost Man." ”
The investment in "Argo" comes entirely from Disney, with neither private film funds, nor upfront payments from overseas studios, no need to bring in a completion insurance company, and no trouble with third-party guarantees, and he doesn't care if he uses a problematic actor.
As for how to restrain Robert Jr.? Donnie, the measures of those crews in the previous life were very effective.
Withholding 40% of the other party's salary to prevent him from taking drugs again, and not returning it to him until the filming is completed, similar measures will definitely become a necessary item in the contract.
As for "Iron Man", at present, Surprising has only just established the project, and the script, director, and funding have not yet been settled, so there is no need to worry at all.
And "Argo" is only in preparation, there is still a long time before the start of filming, in addition to the actors, there is also an assistant director who is leading people to select the location, although a considerable part of the story takes place in Iran, but let the crew go to Tehran to film, unless Ryan is crazy.
Although the terrorist never appeared, he would not be stupid enough to run to the Middle East.
Ryan and several other writers have worked together on the script, and most of the main plot is his hand, and is still in the final stages of review, mainly on the CIA side.
In any case, the other party has provided a lot of convenience in this project, and in Ryan's script, they are basically positive images.
Regardless of the role of the CIA and the federal government in the Iranian hostage incident, Argo's perspective has always been focused on this bizarre rescue plan, and everything else is almost entirely brushed aside.
Same as George? Clooney didn't have long to talk when Ryan's phone rang again, and he waved to the other side and walked out of the office.
"Hi, Nat."
As he walked out of the studio, Ryan put his phone to his ear, and Natalie's voice came from inside, "Are you at Warner Studios?" ”
"yes." Ryan has been here a lot lately, "Studio 78. ”
"I'm here too, are you busy now?"
After Ryan's negative answer, the Long Island girl smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go look for you." ”
Standing at the door of the studio, Ryan waited for about five minutes, and saw a six-seater battery car driving in the direction of the door to the studio, in addition to the driver, there were two Jewish girls sitting on it, one of whom was Natalie.
As soon as the battery car stopped, Natalie jumped down, and then another girl with amazing legs also jumped off the battery car, which is no stranger.
"Is this Gail? Add. After the battery car left, Natalie gave a brief introduction, "I heard her say you've seen it?" ”
"Hello, Miss Gardo...... Well, Gail. ”
After shaking the other hand's outstretched hand, Ryan said to Natalie again, "I met at Arnold's banquet two months ago. ”
"It was Mr. Schwarzenegger who introduced me to him."
The Jewish girl was young, but she was a smart person, "I've always wanted to have a treat since I sent the duì, but it's a pity you're too busy, Nat, and Ryan." ”
Probably from Israel, Natalie was close to the friends she had made in Jerusalem, but the studio was not a good place to chat.
"Why don't you go in and sit down?" Ryan asked Natalie, but she shook her head, "We're going to the Warner Bros. crew." ”
"Oh?"
I silently calculated the time in my heart, it should be early, right? Ryan's eyes couldn't help but fall on Natalie's long hair, did she still want to be a bald girl? (To be continued......)
