"In short, the character is cruel, cunning, and cautious, but at the same time very arrogant and ......" The slightly shorter black man who spoke knocked on his head, forgetting for a moment what to say.

"Lack of imagination." Sean immediately picked it up.

"That's right!" The other party smiled and nodded, "Lack of imagination, so he can kill his accomplice in a blink of an eye and swallow the gold alone, and he can recognize Old John's daughter by one sentence, but he doesn't know who the brother of the middleman who killed him is, so in the end he was calculated by the protagonist." ”

"You've got a problem for me, Gary," Sean replied after a moment's thought, "cruelty, cunning, caution, and arrogance that accentuates the contradictions of character, all right, but lack imagination...... How is this going to behave? ”

"That's your business, Sean." The other person laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "I'm sure you can handle it, just like you used 'Will' to get the producer of Paramount." ”

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Sean rolling his eyes in place.

"How can it be so easy...... he muttered, looking at the still busy theater assistants around him, and his heart still swelled with some pride.

This is Paramount's studio, and the filming is about to begin, a scene from "Mission Italy", where a group of thieves plan to steal 35 million worth of gold from a company's safe, and they plan to control the effect of the explosives in the same position on two floors, blow up the safe and pretend to transport it, but actually sink into the water and open it on the spot.

Mark as the leading actor? Wahlberg and others have already gone to Venice to go on location and come back, and now they are starting to shoot the interior scenes of Venice in the studio, and Steve, played by Sean, did not appear on location in Venice in the script, so they waited until they came back to join the crew.

That's right, Paramount finally chose Sean to play the villain, and the reason for this result is that "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", which was released at the beginning of the month, helped a lot.

Previously, when the director and casting director thought that Sean could try, Paramount would be reluctant to make a decision, first, do you still want Edward? Norton, it's almost a matter of face; The second is that the producers on their side don't think Sean is suitable for the role, or that he still feels young.

However, there are some things that are difficult to hide all the time, and Norton was about to give in, but he didn't know where he learned that Paramount was looking for a replacement for him, so he kept his mouth shut tightly.

Paramount was suddenly in a dilemma, and if he really put further pressure, he might have to go into the lawsuit, which would basically be equivalent to tearing his face. But if it drags on any longer, the originally scheduled start in late May will have to be postponed to July or even August, and the loss will be a bit big.

And at this time, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" starring Sean was released, although he didn't have many scenes, but the role he played was very mature, so the producers of Paramount tried to watch it. Then, they sent out an invitation, God knows what they thought, anyway, when Sean enjoyed Camilla's "bite" at home that day, Frederick Zuihou was a topic of whether to accept it or not.

So Sean agreed directly in a daze, which made him a little depressed, you must know that he originally planned, if Paramount really invited him, then he must have a little bit of it. After his audition, those guys almost hung him out for more than a month, and there was no news at all, which was so rude.

Especially in this situation, he has just brought a powerful old studio to its knees, paid more than a million dollars for his performance in the movie, which is only 10 minutes in the movie, so even if the other party is one of the seven major Hollywood studios, he should also show his status - proper display.

What I didn't expect was that I missed this opportunity because of Camilla, which was too ...... But this is also God's will, he should play a supporting role in this movie, and Paramount is not bad, and in the current situation, he also offered a salary of 3 million.

After all, apart from playing supporting roles in "Ocean's Eleven" and "The Lord of the Rings" last year, there were no movies with a box office, not to mention that there were only ten minutes of scenes in "The Lord of the Rings". As for this year, "Dance of Death Row Inmates", which was released in February, is an independent film, the box office is almost negligible, and the word of mouth can only be said to be good.

And "Perfect Thief" relied on publicity, and finally got a box office of 20 million in the second week, and then began to plummet, and after more than a month of procrastination, the total box office in North America barely reached 70 million, which is still a little far from the cost, and the reputation is also very average.

Only "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" box office and word-of-mouth are okay, with a box office of 20 million in the first weekend, and more than 2,000 theaters, this data is definitely better than "Perfect Thief". As for word of mouth, it is even 0 higher than "Dance of Death Row Inmates" on IMDB. 4, I have to say that Christo's first movie with an investment of tens of millions got off to a good start.

But speaking of which, Sean has to feel sorry for it, he went to see the movie after it was released, and as expected, the front was nice and suspenseful, but the back was too lengthy, and the audience fell asleep in the endless nagging between Pacino and Robbins.

Isn't this Christopher? Nolan applied the standard, but as he said when he was in Alaska, he's just a director now, and there's a whole bunch of producers on top of it.

"Anyway, it's a very good beginning, Christo, and you're sure to be able to make the next movie as you want." Sean said this to Christopher after the release of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".

Well, back to the topic, even if the box office of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is passable, it is just passable, and it is still a lot worse than those big productions. In addition, Sean is a supporting actor in these three movies, and there are not many scenes, and they are not brilliant - for "The Perfect Thief", "Dance of Death Row Prisoners" and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" are still very good.

So Paramount's offer of 3 million is still very sincere, of course, it may also be that they demonstrate Norton in disguise, look, your disagreement is your loss, but it may also be a reward for Sean's refreshing reply, who knows.

In short, Sean came to the crew and made a series of preparations for his role, and he had a general personality. However, there are still some places that are still a little difficult to do, that is, the former director F. Gary? According to Gray, this villain lacks imagination.

F. Gary? Gray is a black man, and his full name is Felix? Gary? Gray, with a high forehead, a short nose, and a beard, would never have thought he was a director at first glance. But he does have some good works, such as 98 by Samuel? Jackson and Kevin? "Ace vs. Ace" starring Spacey came from him, and he had a good grasp of the character's characteristics, so Sean agreed with him.

However, how do you represent the character in such a way that it seems to be unimaginative? This is a question that needs to be pondered, and he can't find the answer yet.

"Hey, Mark, how is Venice feeling?" Sean and Mark? Wahlberg said hello.

"It's great, it's beautiful, I love Venice," Wahlberg said pleasantly, then squeezing his eyes, "It's a shame you're not there." ”

"Really?" Sean gave a sly expression, "It's a shame that I was there when I was filming Ripley the Genius. ”

Wahlberg froze for a moment, Sean got up, then looked at the others, and Wahlberg, who rolled his eyes, immediately introduced him.

Jason? Statham, Mamouth? Duff, Seth? Green, Donald? Sutherland is a supporting character in the movie, as well as an opponent of his villain. Among these actors, Sean has some impressions of Statham, not just because of Gai? Richie directed "Two Big Smoking Guns" two years ago, and because he had heard his name more or less in his previous life, he seemed to be a famous tough guy type actor.

In addition, he also unexpectedly felt very familiar with Sutherland, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but it should not be in an American movie. As a result, after thinking about it for a long time, I found out that this old man is not the director Taylor in "Big Names", who posted advertisements at the funeral.

"Which movie do you know?" When Sean asked tentatively, Sutherland was very surprised, and then hahadaxiao, "It was a very interesting movie, Feng is also an interesting director, I have a lot of fun working with him, I like China very much, in fact, I went to China more than 20 years ago to visit Dr. Bethune." ”

It's really surprising, but it's relieving to think that this old man is Canadian, and there seems to be some kind of Bethune memorial over there. When I think about this, the feeling of overlapping this life with my past life comes back to me, and it's really funny and ...... It makes people sigh, maybe you can travel back to the mainland when you are free, and you may also do publicity in the future, but ......

Although they were all a bunch of men, there was also a woman, a very seductive woman, not the famous South African diamond, but a somewhat striking bust, and Jason? The woman Statham is tired of with, called Kelly? Brooke. I have to say that the curves of this woman in her early 20s are really attractive enough, Sean couldn't help but look at it a few more times, Statham didn't seem to care, and Kelly did the same, and even deliberately straightened his chest when his gaze swept over.

I don't know if it's a delusion or what, but when Wahlberg introduced Sean, especially when he talked about his achievements last year, the high-grossing "My Grand Greek Wedding" and the "YouRaiseMeUp" that was sung everywhere after 911, there was a clear glint in her eyes.

However, no matter what she thinks, Sean is not interested for the time being, although the other party is very hot, but now everyone is in the same crew, and I don't know what Statham's personality is, if something goes wrong. It's good that it didn't affect the shooting, but if it did, it would be a bit bad.

Of course, more importantly, Sean would rather know another woman.
