Chapter 502: Take it
"Ladies and gentlemen, I came here through most of the state, and I should have been a little earlier, but because the oil wells in Wild Wolf Mountain have just begun to produce oil, there are things to arrange, and I can't get out of it for a while." Under the standard western cowboy-style wide-brimmed hat, the cheeks are noticeably sunken, making middle-aged men look very old.
"Now it's 2,000 barrels a day, and it can bring me $5,000 a week, and I have two exploration teams elsewhere and 16 producing wells in Antelope Valley, so I call myself an oil mine owner, and you shouldn't object to it." He said slowly, his voice in a low voice that seemed to carry infinite confidence.
"You have a great opportunity right now, but if you are not careful, you may miss it. Or there are many people who want to rent your land to drill oil, but only 1 in 20 people may be the real oil mine owner, and the rest are speculators, who only want to be intermediaries in the mine owner's land rental business, and seize the property that belongs to you for themselves. His half-gray mustache trembled and trembled, and for a few minutes he even felt like he believed in me for eternal life.
Everything made this middle-aged man look like a successful businessman, and only when the eyes of the shadow hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat flashed with a cold gaze, he realized that everything was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
The middle-aged man continued, he described the future loudly, a beautiful future: "I can start work immediately, as long as I sign the contract, I am not the kind of person who doesn't understand anything, I don't have too many employees, I personally supervise ......"
At the same time, he repeatedly intimidated or misled his thinking: "Almost no one can take it as seriously as me, most of them don't understand anything, they just sit in the office and listen to the report, I am different from them......"
Then he once again campaigned for himself: "I'm a hard worker, I value my family, this is my son, and I'm a partner......"
Speaking of this, he raised his chin behind him, although his movements were slow, but with an unquestionable momentum, even if there was no son standing behind him, he could not let this momentum weaken by half a point. Just like before, even if there was no one in front of him, he still fully showed that feeling of giving up his own people.
"Perfect!" Anderson let out a loud slap and slapped him hard, his face full of excitement.
Now that he spoke up, the audition was basically over, but Sean, who was immersed in the role, did not relax for the first time, but sat there for more than ten seconds before he breathed a sigh.
"It's really uncomfortable," he said with a deliberate cover-up, "and if the movie starts, I'll spend at least half an hour every day doing makeup." ”
"It can't be helped," Anderson laughed, "You know that you play a middle-aged man over forty years old who is lame and has been absent from work for several years. ”
He showed an excited look again, and even a little fanatical: "It's so perfect, Sean, I thought it would be good for you to be in a similar state as in "The Aviator", but I didn't expect you to be able to do this, if it weren't for the fact that I still remember what you looked like before you put on makeup, I would have thought you were someone else, damn, you have at least a fifty-year-old soul in your body!" ”
Fifty-six years old, to be exact. Sean said this in his heart, but when he thought about it, his performance outside of the stage did not seem to be equal to the number fifty-six.
Leaving this aside for now, the most important thing now is another thing.
"So......" Sean asked tentatively.
"This role is yours!" Anderson said without the slightest hesitation, "You didn't live up to my expectations, you didn't live up to this opportunity to make up and dress up for an audition, you just gave a wonderful performance, I really can't think of anyone more suitable than you, right?" ”
The last sentence is said to others, that is, those who came with them to participate in this audition.
"That's right, a great show." Several people said so, and the loudest one was Weinstein, and it was clear that if Sean won the role, then they would be able to win the movie.
"Thank you, this is really the best news I've heard today." Sean immediately jumped up, hugged Anderson widely, and sighed in his heart, not in vain that he had waited so long.
"While this monologue is excellent, it doesn't mean you're going to be able to perform this well from start to finish, so don't let up, Sean, and prepare for the end of the year at the latest," Anderson said later.
"No problem!" Hearing this, Sean was even more happy, but before he could open his mouth to discuss something, a scoop of cold water had already been poured in his face.
"In addition, I ask you not to disclose this matter to the media at will before the movie starts." There was a clear warning in Anderson's tone, "Not a word!" ”
Seeing him so serious, Sean couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he asked carefully, "I...... Can we know the cause of the road? ”
"I don't want people to know that the actor of this movie has already been decided, and I still need to ......" Anderson frowned when he said this, and did not say any more, but said again with half admonition and half warning: "Anyway, in the next few months, I don't want to see in the media, such as 'Sean? Don will play the leading actor in 'Blood is Coming'. ”
"Okay, I see." Sean nodded immediately.
Probably he wants to use the actor to hype, or pull investment to negotiate conditions or something, Sean doesn't care too much, as long as they don't say it, the media won't know about it, and he looks like a person who can't keep secrets?
"Well done, Sean." Weinstein also came over and slapped him at this time, "Wonderful performance, I really didn't expect you to do this, it's amazing." ”
"So you didn't have confidence in me at first?" Sean immediately asked rhetorically.
The fat man choked for a moment, and then Ha Luha laughed: "Okay, I admit, there were a few at first, but luckily, I made the right bet, didn't I?" You've been in luck! ”
"Well, I'm lucky." Sean also laughed, and then added in his heart: Especially with Lady Luck.
It was a miraculous thing, and Natalie had told him that there might be news tomorrow, only to have Anderson call the next day. It's not Lady Luck, so what is? Sean didn't reveal half of the superfluous words to her, and "Blood is Coming" is not a widely circulated movie, so she can't know what to say in advance.
As a reborn, Sean sometimes had to believe in the wonder of fate, and if it hadn't been for reason telling him that he hadn't, he would have called Natalie to tell him about it.
However, even if he did, he would not be able to contact her, and so far, they have not exchanged phone numbers. I have to say that Natalie is the one who keeps his distance the most from all the women he has ever met.
In this case, Sean resisted the urge to ask her out again and began to prepare for "Death of a Sharpshooter" and "Blood is Coming". Oh, and "Ocean's Thirteen", which has already started, in a few days, about September, he will report to the crew.
But don't worry too much about this, the crew spent most of the time filming in Las Vegas this time, and there was no need to go to Europe, and he had to play a lot of roles indoors, plus half a year of filming time, as long as the current period was adjusted.
is "Death of a Sharpshooter" and "Blood is Coming", although they are both Westerns and the times are similar, the two roles he wants to play are completely different. Robert? Ford is full of fantasies, but cowardly and can't handle much pressure, and Daniel? Prienview is taciturn, brutal and ruthless, and will do whatever it takes for his own benefit.
It's definitely not easy to play both roles at the same time, and you want to play them well. Luckily, "Blood Is Coming" will most likely not start until the end of the year, and by then "Death of a Sharpshooter" should be completed, just as seamlessly as it did at the beginning of the year.
So, all you have to do now is to prepare carefully, and by the way, focus on the things that need attention, and once it's turned on, there won't be that much time.
There's a lot to focus on, like how to coax Katie – yes, read that right, how to get Katie to coax, not how to coax Katie.
After sneaking away that day, Wahlberg didn't care, in fact, he didn't even notice that Sean had run away before entering the movie theater, and he always thought that he left without saying hello because he was in a hurry after the end.
But Katie panicked a little because of this, thinking that Sean was angry about her prank - she thought she was just playing a prank. So after he called, without waiting for him to speak, he said a lot of apologies, and honestly let him be at his mercy when he went back at night.
This situation is rare, and Katie doesn't know if she is dizzy or what, she has been carefully smiling for several days, and Sean naturally will not take the initiative to break this situation.
Of course, for the sake of her daughter, the meaty little guy likes her father's arms every time, and she cries several times and quiets down in his arms, so she doesn't toss her mother too much.
Then, because of taking care of his daughter, the skill of dealing with children has risen rapidly, and Alexander has been in Sean's arms for longer than before, and compared to before, once he cried in his arms, he couldn't stop crying, and now Sean can coax him several times, which is also a big improvement.
"I'll just say, this is my son, and he still has to listen to me after all." Sean laughed so proudly that Naomi knocked him back to his original form with a word.
"Ellie is about to be a year old, and he sometimes wants to make his father's face look better." That's what she said.
Sean was stunned for a long time, and his face suddenly collapsed, and he wanted to clean up Naomi, but found that there was no chance to start. After all, Naomi and Sean don't ask much now for anything other than a relationship and his insistence on being in charge of their mother and son's lives.
Sean wanted to find her a few good movies to deepen their connection and dependence on each other, but Naomi always refused with various excuses, so it became the current situation.
