Chapter 196: Seniority Issues

"Ocean's Eleven" is basically a man's play, and there is only one main female character from beginning to end, which is Danny played by Clooney? Osen's ex-wife. In a sense, this character is a vase, and no matter which actress you replace, it's no problem. However, considering that she was the cause of the whole thing, and that she had to match her identity, Clooney, as a producer, put Julia? Roberts, the most popular actress in Hollywood at the moment, invited over.

From this point of view, Clooney is actually very narcissistic, and it is no wonder that he is indeed a very attractive middle-aged man, even Sean admits so, full of mature and stable temperament, wherever he goes, there will be many women who want to talk to him. Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that he became popular late, but the degree of popularity is very high, so it is normal to want to invite actresses who can match him.

But that's not the point, the point is, he only paid Julia $20!

It is said that according to Brad? Pitt said that Clooney called Julia at the time and said that there was a role that would be a good fit for her, and then Julia asked Clooney how much he was paid, and he replied that it was 20. Generally speaking, anyone in Julia's position would think it's 20 million dollars - in English, after the number is thousand, the term for a special unit is a three-digit number, such as million and billion.

Who knows, after she agreed, Clooney really only sent a check for $20, so it's no wonder that she happened to meet him when she came and returned to the crew, so she asked him to give an explanation.

Of course, the real salary can't be only $20, just like Clooney and Pete, although they both cut their salaries, they still took two or three million. But it won't be much higher, just like Clooney and Pete, although they both cut their salaries, they still took two or three million.

She should have a good relationship with Clooney, otherwise the latter would not make such jokes, and since it was still directed by Soderbergh, she agreed. If Julia is most grateful now, it should be Steven? Soderbergh, the semi-biographical film called "Never Compromise", which was adapted from a true story by him, was released at the beginning of last year, and the 50 million cost film not only received 200 million box office in the whole Shijie range, but also made her a Best Actress nomination at the beginning of this year!

Not only that, most of the media unanimously praised her performance in the movie, and believed that she had a good chance of winning the Oscar for Best Actress this year.

"It's hard to say, the odds seem great, but ...... Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like. Julia, who was asked about this, used the classic lines of "Forrest Gump" to leave a suspense, but she, like Soderbergh, was very modest in her mouth, and the smile on her face was still obviously proud.

You know, this is the Oscar, the highest award in the American film industry and art, who wouldn't want to win it? What's more, Soderbergh was very strong in winning two Best Picture nominations, two Best Director nominations, and two acting award nominations for two films, a rare situation in decades that the film school has to show more or less.

What's more, Julia has spent almost ten years from the early 90s to the present to establish herself as a representative of American women, coupled with the theme and quality of the movie, the possibility of sealing is really very high.

Frankly speaking, she is not pretty, but she belongs to the kind of woman with a lot of taste, she is a typical American woman, enthusiastic, cheerful, straightforward, generally say whatever comes to mind, and don't care about many things, but she doesn't have the "come and worship me" expression that the average American girl likes to write on her face, vaguely with a bit of contradictory introverted temperament, it is no wonder that many people are fascinated by her.

With Julia's arrival, her role is also on the agenda, and Sean happens to have a plot to shoot with her.

In a very short scene, Linus, played by Sean, follows Benedict, played by Garcia, to find out his whereabouts, habits and preferences. Then, one day, when Pete plays Ryan in the casino lobby and asks him how it turned out, he introduces Benedict's current girlfriend during the narration.

So, in the camera, Julia, dressed in red, came down from upstairs, and Ryan, who recognized her at a glance as Oson's ex-wife Tess, quickly shrank her head back in Linus's voice to prevent being discovered.

"Olson and Ryan then argue and get each other's understanding, but Linus doesn't seem to be doing as well as they want, so they decide to put on a show to motivate the young man, and when Oxon appears above the elevator shaft, Linus is half-killed." While eating lunch, Sean recounts the rest of the story.

"It's so normal, everywhere there are veterans bullying newbies." Julia listened hahadaxiao.

"I have to say for the record, it's definitely not bullying, it's motivating, and from a story point of view, it's an action that can't go wrong, especially with the character of Linus." Clooney rubbed the corners of his mouth gracefully.

"That's right, the quality of Linus's state is the difference between success and failure," Pete echoed, winking at Sean again, "Right, Sean?" ”

Sean glanced at Soderbergh, who was sitting next to him, who was so engrossed in dealing with the food on his plate that he didn't seem to hear anything, so he shrugged helplessly: "Yes." ”

Seeing Julia in her eyes, she was daxiao again.

"You're funny, Sean, and ...... Lovely. She then added, "No wonder not many people like it." ”

Speaking of Zuihou, Julia's smile was a little special, as if she knew something.

"That's right, in another ten years, he will be who I am now." Clooney then said.

"Weishenme Sean will be the current you in another ten years, not the current me?" Pete asked rhetorically.

The two of them seem to be teasing Sean, but on the other hand, they are also defending him, well, if they get along for a long time, they are actually not bad.

Clooney is a bit narcissistic and quite protective of his friends and his own people, while Pete, if he doesn't wear tinted glasses because of Jennifer, is also a very funny guy, and he is very quick to pick up erotic jokes, for example. Sean is good at getting along with people, so in this team, as long as it is not for individual reasons that cause him to look unpleasant, he can basically get some favor.

The so-called individual reasons, that is, like Carl? Affleck is like this, because his brother and Sean don't deal with each other, and other than that, Don? Cheadle is also awkward, and his reasons are kind of funny.

As I said before, because "Ocean's Eleven" needs a lot of powerful and famous actors, the salary alone is a big expense, so Clooney took the initiative to reduce his salary in order to lower everyone's salary. Although this trick is a bit inauthentic, after all, a big name like him, although the salary is low, there must be dividends to be paid, but the effect is still there, especially after gathering a lot of powerful actors, many people still want to join.

But the problem is that although some people agree, they may not be able to accept the salary figure, and Cheadle is the most haode example.

"That's an embarrassing number." It is said that Cheadle complained about this more than once in private.

I can't inquire about the specific figures, everyone has signed a confidentiality contract, because the salary is small, but I believe he is only hundreds of thousands, because ...... It is said that he once told Clooney that he wanted to be treated the same as Sean, but unfortunately he was refused.

Sean gets a fixed salary of 1 million, no dividends and others, so Cheadle will definitely not exceed this, which is certainly not a happy thing for an actor who is almost forty years old. Therefore, Cheadle is quite unhappy with him, who made him an actor for only two years, and the youngest person in the crew? Even if he has an Oscar nomination.

The role of seniority is undoubtedly revealed here, if Sean has more than five years of acting experience, no matter how unwilling Cheadle is, he will not show the appearance of targeting him.

Interestingly, although this is usually the case, but when you go to the casino, you don't care about anything, and a group of people are playing and shouting, staring at the chips, arguing over a little gambling money. Clooney and Pete are already relatively reserved, and when they win and lose, they still can't help but lament or daxiao.

But Clooney basically loses, rarely wins, and no matter what he plays. And Pete wins most of the time, and loses very rarely, and no matter what he plays, it really makes people wonder if they are colluding.

"Why, do I look like that kind of person?" In the face of everyone's inquiries, Clooney replied in a lazy tone.

"Bad luck, Jishu is not good, and you start looking for other excuses?" Pete smiled wickedly.

Having said that, it's really hard to say, for example, Sean's luck has always been good, playing 21 points in a row and winning three or four hundred dollars, including Pete. But after Clooney joined, he exploded three or four in a row, and let Pete win, how could there be such a coincidence?

So, to say that they didn't play tricks, it must be impossible, before any magic trick was revealed, it looked very magical and incredible, but unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, no one found out what tricks they were playing.

Of course, Clooney and Pete didn't go too far, and everyone still played together from time to time after filming, and then argued over gambling money. And Julia joined in even more lively, usually a little heroic she played very well at the table, especially after a little drink, her voice was a little higher.

In addition to this, she likes to catch people everywhere, and Clooney is not immune, and Sean, as the youngest and youngest member of the crew - can't go to the casino often - will be caught by her every time to gamble a few times. Finally, her gambling is okay, winning is winning, losing is losing, never cheating, luck haode Sean is also happy to bet with her twice from time to time, so he ......
