Chapter 360: Superheroes
"Hello, Katie, you look ......" originally wanted to say hello happily after opening the door, but Galen swallowed it back before he finished speaking, because the girl in front of him didn't look so good.
"I know I know," Katie sighed, pointing to her dark circles, "and it's not because of Sean. ”
"You mean, you ...... Well...... It's so powerful that you didn't sleep well? Galen gestured deliberately, and made a look of surprise.
"Galen!" Katie immediately glared at him and shouted.
"I'm sorry," Galen laughed, beckoning her in, but he couldn't hold back, "then your ......"
"It's not because of Sean that he actually invested in such a horror movie and asked me to be the heroine" Katie said indignantly, "I didn't have anything when I slept with him before, but when I was lying alone in bed, as soon as the light was turned off, I couldn't help but worry about whether someone would come out of the bed and pull me in completely." ”
"Huh?" Galen's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, "Aren't you the heroine?" Will also be intimidated? ”
"Who said heroines wouldn't be intimidated?" Katie made a look of grievance, "I didn't think when I was performing, and the final processed footage would be so terrible. ”
Then she immediately made a fierce look: "What about Sean? I've got to clean him up! ”
"I'm sorry, you might have to wait a while, he's not home right now." Galen couldn't help but laugh and said, "But I think he's coming back soon, how about wait?" I've just recently learned to make some snacks. ”
It's interesting to say that Sean's three closest women at the moment, Naomi, Jordana, and Katie, have all lived in his mansion and been in contact with their best friends. Needless to say, Neil often runs back and forth between New York and Los Angeles, Galen prefers Katie because she's more innocent — or at least it seems like — and Sanders admires Jordana more, presumably because she's often as unceremonious to Sean as he is.
As for Frederick, he prefers Naomi because she doesn't mess with Sean, and of course, no one cares what he thinks.
Katie didn't wait long, and after about half an hour, Sean returned from outside, still with a depressed look on his face.
"Did something happen?" Seeing this, Katie didn't care about complaining, and immediately asked half worried and half curious.
"It's not a big deal, Katie, don't worry," Sean hugged her, "but there are some problems that I can't decide for the time being." ”
"Galen said you went to a director's house to talk about things, was it for a certain role?" Katie asked with a wink, and pulled him to sit down and held her face, obviously curious to know something more specific.
Looking at her appearance, and then looking at Galen who was doing himself but pricked up his ears, Sean sighed: "Okay, to put it simply, Christo and Warner teamed up to reboot the "Batman" series, and then asked me if I would be interested in playing this ...... The most popular superhero in the DC Universe. ”
"Are you kidding?" Galen turned his head, a little incredulous.
"It's not a joke, Galen, they really asked me that," Sean sighed, "and said a lot of other things, and I'm sure they've probably agreed with Warner, and I'm sure Christo would have liked me to say yes." ”
"Then why don't you agree, this is Batman!" Galen was a little surprised and excited, well, he's kind of a fan of DC Comics, and Sanders prefers to be a little more surprised, and occasionally argues about which superhero is better.
That's why he was so excited to hear that Sean had received Batman's invitation at this moment, and if Sean agreed, the argument would be equal to him winning - although the sworn friends don't care about winning or losing these arguments, it's not bad to come once in a while.
But he finally didn't get dizzy: "Even if the Batman series has come to an end before, but after so many years, some people must have begun to miss it, at this time, making a related movie, as long as the quality is good and the story is well told, it will definitely be popular, and your popularity and value will multiply several times, and don't you always think that Christo is a great director?" ”
Under Sean's influence, he also knows more and more about Hollywood, so this statement still makes sense, but Sean thinks about more than that.
"Why are you talking more and more like Fred?" He said deliberately dissatisfied.
"That's because it's correct," Galen shrugged, "Well, Sean, Fred is pathetic enough, you not only split his power, but also reduced his income. ”
Sean immediately laughed, well, he has rejected the advertisements and endorsements recommended by several agents, although the salary share of "Cold Mountain" and "The Aviator" is enough to satisfy Frederick, and then there is the second part of "Fast and Furious", but if he can be more satisfied, he will definitely not refuse, right?
"Okay, let's not talk about that, I understand what you said, and I don't deny Christo's talent either, but the problem is that there are some things that can't be both, Galen, such as fame, commercial value and honor." Sean said very seriously.
As soon as he said this, Galen immediately understood, and became embarrassed for a moment. Indeed, the Oscars for Best Actor are not a few superheroes.
At this moment, a dissatisfied voice rang out: "Sean, who is Christo?" ”
Katie frowned, her mouth pursed, and she looked puffed out and looked unhappy.
"Hmm...... Sorry, dear, what a ......" Sean smirked and patronized to discuss it with Galen, forgetting that there was someone else around.
"Christopher's full name is Christopher? Nolan, the British director I met when I was filming "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", is very talented......" Seeing what Katie was about to say again, Sean hurriedly opened the conversation box to divert his attention.
This matter is as said before, Christopher and Warner teamed up to reboot the Batman series, and Christopher intended to invite Sean to play Bruce? Wayne.
The reason why Sean was called, and not on the phone, was because of another thing, though. Before telling him that they gave up making Howard? In Hughes's biographical film, didn't Christopher and his wife Emma say that there would be big moves? This big move was the founding of Legendary Pictures.
This production company is the capital of Wall Street, which was established directly by big productions and Hollywood producers, and is funded by several famous venture capitalists, two or three of which also invested in Sean's Reincarnation Pictures.
To be honest, it's a strange situation, and it feels like it's ...... Wall Street's capital was annoyed by the various tricks of the Hollywood ledger of the big studios, and simply ended up in person.
Well, regardless of these, in short, not long after Legendary Pictures was founded, it came together with Warner to make a new Batman series for them, and Emma played a big role in threading the needle in it, and won this directing opportunity for her husband.
However, because this news has not been made public, out of secrecy, probably with the intention of showing his ability, they invited Sean to come over for an interview.
To be honest, if it was another movie, Sean would have agreed a long time ago, which of Christopher's works is not a word-of-mouth and box office double harvest, but why is it the Batman series?
Yes, this new Batman trilogy is also highly rated, and Sean remembers it quite clearly, especially the second and third installments, which seem to have had some accidents when they were released, but they still can't stop their charm.
It's just that Sean's goal is obviously the opposite of that of a superhero, but it's not easy to refuse, so he has to say that it will take a few days to think about it, so he looked depressed when he came back.
"Since you are optimistic about him and want to cooperate, then it is better to cooperate." After listening to his story, Katie immediately said in a puzzled tone.
"But, Katie, my dear, the Academy of Motion Picture certainly doesn't consider superheroes when it comes to the Oscars for Best Actor." Although Sean rarely says his goals in front of women, these are all made, not said, but now he has to carefully explain this little confusion.
"But don't you often work miracles?" Katie was still puzzled, and said in an encouraging tone: "Then you create another one and become the first actor to play both a superhero and a Best Actor!" ”
Listening to this serious tone, Sean suddenly wanted to smile bitterly, if he could, of course he would be willing to do so. But the problem is, no matter what you do, no matter how small the odds are, you have to have a chance first, right?
But before Katie finished speaking, she immediately added: "I don't think the character of Batman will make much of an impact, don't forget, he wears a mask." ”
Sean's wry smile in his heart became even stronger, once Katie was confused, her brain couldn't turn around, and others didn't know if she was wearing a mask...... Wait a minute!
He froze suddenly, this may be ...... Could it be a viable solution?! To be exact, it should be a blind spot, superheroes basically don't need acting skills, which has almost become a consensus among people, but what if there is no acting skills at all? It's not that the actors don't know at all, but they wear masks most of the time, and even if you want to, you can't do it. But in this way, it is possible to lose the negative and the positive, after all, the consensus mentioned above is just an unspoken rule, to really tell everyone that there is no acting skills, it will arouse curiosity, and then it is not a place to show acting skills at all, after all, wearing a mask is not from beginning to end, so it may contrast with his other works with a strong effect.
Of course, the possibility of success is very small, very small, probably only a little higher than playing a superhero and winning the best actor, but compared with the previous completely impossible operation, at least there is such a little hope, so...... Want to gamble?
"You're a genius, Katie!" Sean, who took a deep breath, suddenly laughed and hugged Katie.
