"That's it, it's late, and I'm going back too." Martin? Scorsese looked at the time, said this to the person he was talking to, and then greeted everyone, including Brian? Several people, including Johnson, left.

Of course, there was no need to greet familiar people along the way, and it had already taken several minutes to get to the door, and just as he asked him to drive, a voice rang out: "Mr. Scorsese!" ”

"What's wrong?" Looking at the young man who was stopped, Scorsese frowned, "Are you?" ”

"Sanders, Sanders? Peller, we just met, I'm Sean? Don's agent. The other party was a little anxious, and kept glancing at Brian who stopped him? Johnson, it seems, is very upset with him.

"If I'm not mistaken, Sean's agent should be called Frederick? Rogers, right? Scorsese looked him up and down and gestured for Johnson to let him go.

"Yes, that's right, Fred is Sean's agent and I'm the other, or you can think of me as Sean's agent." Sanders glared at Johnson, and after straightening his collar, he politely owed, "I'm sorry for hitting you, but I have something important to talk to you about." ”

"I thought I'd said enough before, and even if there was anything, couldn't I wait until tomorrow?" Johnson couldn't help but interject.

Scorsese glanced at Johnson and didn't say much, then moved his gaze to Sanders: "Is there something wrong with you?" If it's about auditions, I've made it very clear. ”

"I just want to talk, Mr. Scorsese, privately, in a few minutes." Sanders said hurriedly.

"Unfortunately, young man, there's one thing you have to learn, and that's that shijie doesn't just revolve around you and your friends." Scorsese shrugged, then looked at the car in the distance, and began to descend the steps.

This sentence is a bit heavy, but Sanders didn't care at all, but asked loudly: "Have you seen Sean's video?" A video made just for you?! ”

"Of course I did," Scorsese said without looking back, "I said before, I've seen all the information, and I've said that he's a good actor." If you are a qualified agent, Mr. Pelle, you should go and recalibrate and plan for the future for him, not pestering me here. ”

"Enough, Mr. Paeller, enough," Johnson stopped him again, "if you continue like this, I'll have to call someone over." ”

"You're lying!" Sanders didn't care, and said loudly word by word, "You're lying, Mr. Scorsese, I'm sure of that!" Anyone, anyone who has watched the video made by Sean, will not be so indifferent, let alone mention it so lightly! ”

His voice was so powerful that several of the people who came out of the hall looked at him, and Scorsese finally stopped and looked back and frowned.

"I'm disappointed, Mr. Scorsese, I'm disappointed." The other continued, with a look of obvious discouragement, "We all loved your movies so much, whether it was 'Raging Bull' or 'Goodfellas' or 'The Age of Innocence', we watched it again and again. We thought that even if a well-made video didn't get your praise, it should at least have a certain amount of recognition, and Sean spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this video, but you made a rash judgment without even looking at it, I'm very, very disappointed. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Scorsese to respond, he immediately turned around and left without looking back, leaving only a somewhat gloomy back.

"I don't know what to call guys," Johnson said smirkedly, then patted Scorsese on the shoulder, "Don't take it personally, Martin, they're just trying to use agitation, it's too old-fashioned." ”

"You look a little nervous, Brian." Scorsese looked at his lieutenant and asked noncommittally.

"Of course," Johnson said, spreading his hands, "that kid is accusing me of not doing my job well, and this unfounded accusation is too much." ”

Scorsese didn't say anything more, and then got into his car, and kept his eyes closed all the way, and Johnson tried to say something several times, but he put back it.

Then, the next day, Scorsese came to his office, summoned several key officials of "The Aviator" and said the first thing he said: "Bring me the videotapes or DVDs sent by the Zuihou candidates, and I want to see how they are doing." ”

"You don't mean it, Martin?" Johnson asked Scorsese privately with some nervousness.

"It's not a big deal to take a look, it's better than being told you don't know anything." Although Scorsese said it in a joking tone, the implicit meaning of his words was not so simple.

Johnson wasn't sure what he was thinking, so he went about his business with a worried heart, and—

"Only three of them?" Looking at the videotapes and DVDs brought by the people in charge, Scorsese frowned.

"This ......" a few people, you look at me, I look at you, and one of them opened his mouth carefully, "According to your instructions, we will review it first, and then give it to you to observe after we think it is good, because ...... I've auditioned before. ”

"Find everything and give it to me." Scorsese commanded briefly.

But then the news came not very good, because at least two people recorded videos disappeared, and one of them was Sean? Don's.

"After the selection, we didn't care, so we all placed it casually after giving an order, so ......" Johnson, who was in charge of this area, spread his hands regretfully.

"Keep looking, it should still be somewhere, if you can't find it, then let them send another one, they should have a backup." Scorsese said this immediately, regardless of Johnson's slight discoloration.

After that, he called another person in charge and asked privately: "How did you assign it in the first place, and who was responsible for reviewing whom?" ”

After another half a day, finally, under Johnson's leadership, they found the things, and I don't know who blocked them in the bottom compartment of a cabinet in the archives. Scorsese didn't say much, just let them out, then turned on the TV in the office alone, and directly picked Sean's out and put it into the player.

"If it disappoints me......" he snorted.

Soon, the picture lit up, and the first time he saw it, Scorsese raised his eyebrows in surprise. Inside the picture is a panoramic view of an office, the whole is dark red, and the airtight curtains cover the surrounding windows tightly, which is visually impactful. A man sits sideways in a chair with messy hair, one hand on top of his pursed mouth and the other on the table. As the camera progresses, you can see that the hand on the table is clenched into a fist, and the thumb is constantly rubbing the second joint of the index finger up and down, as if it can't be stopped, and the trance look on the man's side gives people a clear feeling that he is doing it subconsciously.

Not bad! Scorsese praised in his heart, and his eyes brightened a lot.

At this time, there was a knock on the door in the picture, and the man on the chair seemed to be awakened, hesitantly stood up and sat down, and only after the second knock sounded did he say in a dry tone: "Enter...... In. ”

"Mr. Hughes......" The picture turned, and coming in through the door was a short and fat old man wearing disc glasses, standing a little cramped at the door, not knowing whether to come in or go out.

"Just standing there." The man's impatient voice rang out, "Say it." ”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became uneasy again: "The Investigative Committee has asked you to attend. ”

"I don't accept it!" The man immediately roared, he stood up at once, waving his arms as if he was very angry, "There are so many companies in the United States that don't have full contracts, but they just found me!" At least I still took out the sample, this is a frame-up, this is a frame-up! ”

"But......" said the old man carefully, "if you don't attend, they will sentence you directly...... Default. ”

The man immediately stopped, staring at the camera closely, angry, his eyes slightly red, and his thumb rubbed even more violently on the second joint of his index finger, as if he was about to explode at any moment. But unexpectedly, he didn't roar anymore, just took a deep breath and changed to a very explosive stern expression: "Okay, I'll be there, I'll break them, I'll definitely be!" ”

At this point, the whole video is over, about ten minutes before and after, and Scorsese's first reaction is: awesome.

The passage of time and editing of the shots may still be a bit mediocre, and the old man who plays the scene can only be said to be average, but the color tone is used very well, the depressing color, the change of light and shade, all match the plot very well.

This episode is obviously based on the story of Hughes's airline being questioned by the Senate after the end of World War II for failing to deliver the goods. In Scorsese's conception, this would be the biggest crisis Hughes faced, although it was not as severe in history, so this delicate oppressive atmosphere was very much to his appetite, coupled with Sean's excellent performance-

"Is this really that young man?" Scorsese went back and looked at it again, and for the first time he was full of curiosity about Sean.

That kind of mature temperament, that kind of restrained and outgoing tension, really makes people can't see his age. Although there is also an element of makeup, being able to do this is quite outstanding for a young man who is less than 25 years old and has only been an actor for more than three years.

"No wonder that...... Sanders would say they spent hundreds of thousands of ......," Scorsese, staring at the screen, muttered, with a faint feeling of joy in his heart.

Then, he thought of something and sank his face, he never thought that this kind of thing would happen next to him, although he had been vaguely aware of it before, but he still hoped that it was just his own illusion, just an operational mistake, but now it seems that ......
