Chapter 103: The Other Side
If you still had some doubts about your intuition before, then after "Genius Ripley", you can basically determine the level of accuracy. So when Sean felt that "Breaking Bad" should be very good, and his role should not be too much, he moved the idea of getting involved.
Of course, in addition to intuition, he also did some analysis, although he has now become famous and won a lot of word of mouth with "The Genius Ripley", but it may not be so easy to get a good role in the future. Age is a problem after all, if you still fight for the role at the age of 23 or 24, it shouldn't be difficult with the current reputation and popularity, but who has made him clarify that he is indeed only 19 years old?
Even if Sean's fame has risen instead of declining after appearing on "The Tonight Show", 19 years old is still a hurdle after all, even if the producer and director have the idea of inviting him, as long as they see this age, they will stop and think about it, if an actor with the same excellent acting skills who is a little older at this time appears, then maybe they will choose someone else.
Don't even think about continuing to hide your age or anything, even if it hasn't been exposed by the New York Post before, it's only a matter of time, Frederick can modify his file as an actor, but his driver's license and social welfare number can't be helped. So you must have two hands to prepare, if you can play the leading role or even important in some excellent movies, the supporting role with a chance to play is naturally very good, but if not, then it is also necessary to play a supporting role in some commercial movies with a good box office to maintain exposure.
"Breaking Bad" is clearly among the latter, while Frederick's recommendation of "Pearl Harbor" is certainly not among the former, and Sean is a little vague about the film, and with his intuition, it doesn't seem to be very good. What's more, even if he didn't watch much movies in his previous life, he still knows that in James? Before Cameron's next work came out, there was no movie that could surpass "Titanic". At the same time, because the live-action movie version of "Transformers" knows a little about director Michael? Bei's deeds, the name of the explosion Bei is not very good, so if you think about it carefully, forget it.
However, after coming to the audition for "Breaking Bad" today, Sean suddenly felt that the previous decision seemed to be a mistake, because there were all kinds of indications that Drew seemed to be ...... I choose actors or partners according to my own preferences.
To put it more clearly, she will let whoever sees it join the crew, Nicher is like this, Matt is like this, and Sean is the same. That's how formal the audition looks like for Weishenme, but it's like a farce, and the audition venue doesn't even have a casting director.
As for business value or personal ability, oh, of course these are important, but if Drew doesn't like it or doesn't like it, then he has to be replaced. So the crew played around with her, constantly selecting actors who had both acting skills and could make Drew like, no wonder the actors in this movie kept changing and the script kept changing.
Thinking of the nymphomaniac appearance of her and Cameron in front of her after the audition, if it wasn't intentional, Sean should really cover her forehead.
Did you think Drew before? Barrymore is a woman who is very smart and capable, she can set up her own production company at the age of 19, she can still make money, and she has the foresight to buy the film adaptation rights of "Charlie's Angel".
But now I think that she should not know, just luck, okay?
Well, there is a possibility, but it is only possible. After all, she must be able to get up after falling or even falling painfully, not to mention that there is a godfather of a great director, as long as she is willing to work hard, she will definitely be able to help one or two.
So most likely, she is a little clever and wise, but she is also very freewheeling, very normal, and people are contradictory.
Thinking about it this way, Sean was a little relieved, no matter what, the chance of intuition being wrong should not be very high. What's more, it can be confirmed with reality, not to mention the subject matter, the key is the support of Columbia Pictures after parting.
The news collected before also said that Drew's production company can get the adaptation rights of the TV series, and Columbia Pictures has not only made a lot of efforts, but also decided that they will be responsible for the distribution early. With the support of one of the seven major Hollywood studios, as long as the plot, picture, and lens are passable, the box office should not be a problem, so you can still try.
However, Sean's view of it doesn't mean that others see it this way, such as his agent.
"You said it yourself, the audition was a farce at all, and their minds weren't on the production at all." Frederick said unscrupulously on the other end of the phone.
"Not necessarily, Fred, if they want to make money, the basic quality of the movie still needs to be taken care of." Sean took the phone, looked at Sanders, who was trying his best to please Bock, and said in a lazy tone.
Like Galen, Polk was hostile to Sanders, always watching him warily, as he did now. If Sanders tries to make out with him, he whines, wagging his tail and spreading his legs, posing as a jiashi that will pounce on him at any moment.
Of course, although it looks mighty, as long as Sanders roars viciously twice, the little thing will immediately jump and hide behind Sean. In short, it's impossible to expect it to watch over the home, and I hope it can still call a couple of words when someone invades at night.
As for Lucy, oh, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be moved by this, and she is usually either sleeping, or squatting on the sofa with her head held high, looking around coldly, as if examining her subjects.
Sanders tried to lure it with cat food or something, but got a look that would have been nothing more than contemptuous, and that look, in the words of a previous life, was, "Stupid human, do you think you can buy me this way?" or "Untouchable, get your dirty stuff away".
Not to mention this, Frederick is still chattering and persuading, hoping that Sean will give up this idea.
"Okay, Fred, you also said that the protagonists of this movie are three angels, and I estimate that my role will only be a week to two weeks at most, and it will not delay the filming of other movies." Sean said.
Probably thinking that this might not be enough, he added: "Instead of trying to persuade me to give up this, you might as well get the audition you promised for "Pearl Harbor" - okay, so be it." β
βββ
"Wait, Sean......" Frederick was about to say something, but there was already a beep from there.
"Hell, why don't you understand, you're a new star who has attracted much attention, and you actually went to play a small supporting role in such a movie!" The agent held his head and complained, if it wasn't a public place, he might have jumped up.
Of course, Frederick quickly adjusted, and as an agent, this psychological quality is still there. Well, Sean got it wrong, instead of persuading him to give up "Breaking Bad" now, it is better to attend the audition for "Pearl Harbor" first, and then he will naturally understand which movie is the focus.
After stabilizing his mind, the agent immediately began to look around, he was standing outside a restaurant in Burbank, and he had received the news before, Michael? Bei and his friend made an appointment to have lunch here, and he wanted to pretend that he was also eating lunch here, and then recommend it directly to the other party.
Frankly speaking, the hope that Sean would run for the leading role in "Pearl Harbor" was an improvised idea of Frederick, so he was not very well prepared. It just so happens that the first audition has passed, if you just join, you need to go through layers of levels, several producers don't have the heart to watch them one by one, in this case, eighty percent of them may be eliminated directly, and Hollywood will never lack excellent actors.
That being the case, Frederick chose to go the upper route, just like the previous "Ripley the Genius".
It's just that, among the several producers, Randall? Wallace is just a screenwriter and doesn't have a lot of power, Jerry? Bruckheimer knows each other, but he's not in Los Angeles at the moment, and Kenny, the producer from Disney's side? Bates and Bruce? Hendrick was completely unfamiliar, so Frederick hit Michael? on the shell.
He has crossed paths with this director who was born to shoot MVs a few times, Michael? When Bey directed his debut film "Jedi Men", Frederick recommended his client, but unfortunately did not negotiate. But a few years later, he successfully pushed a client into the crew of "Brave Island" and played one of the two mercenaries in Zuihou, but unfortunately, the guy fired him after the movie.
However, Frederick still has some relationship with Bey because of this, and he will say hello when he meets on different occasions, so he now wants to fight for Sean a chance through him.
It's just that many times once you get busy, you will make a mess, just like Frederick is now, when he runs to the restaurant, he realizes that he is just a person. Generally speaking, in the United States, although it is not that no one eats alone in a restaurant, if others see it, most of them will say in their hearts: freaks. Secondly, a man ran here to dine and then met Michael? Bei, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it's planned, even if you want to recommend people, don't do it so deliberately, right?
So Frederick had to wander outside and pretend to be on the phoneβnot entirely, he had called Sean before, and was now calling someone else.
"Hey, Jason, you said Mike was going to have lunch at the Meteorite Restaurant on 78th Street, and I haven't seen him until now!" The agent asked in a low voice unhappily.
"I'm just saying it's possible, Fred, it's not up to me to decide where they're going to eat, maybe they'll change their minds and want to change places? And I've only heard about it. There was a helpless voice over there.
"Damn, what the hell." Frederick covered his forehead, and just as he felt like he was going to be in vain today, a woman walked out of the dining room.
It was a woman who looked to be about fifty years old, with long, straight black hair, deep eye sockets, and slightly high cheekbones, but she could still see that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.
It only took a few seconds for Frederick to make a decision, and then caught up with the other party in a few steps: "Hey, Bonnie, Bonnie?" Timoman, remember me? β
Seeing the other party's puzzled look, he further patted his chest and introduced himself: "Fred, Frederick? Rogers, we met at the ABC cocktail party. β
"Yes, Fred, the Endeavor agent." The other party immediately remembered, "What's the matter?" β
"Well, I had to invite someone to lunch, but unfortunately he released my pigeons, so I had to leave without even entering the restaurant." Frederick opened his mouth and came, "And then I saw you, and I thought, since you have to come out with something, you have to get something, so -- you're the casting director for 'Pearl Harbor,' right?" β
"So you want to ......," Bonnie laughed.
"I want to refer my clients, Sean? Tang Dynasty. Frederick nodded.
