Chapter 498: All of them
Sean agreed, since it's Harvey? Weinstein's recommendation is certainly valuable, as a producer who started with independent films, he can still discover so many good movies without Sean's ability, it is impossible not to have vision. And, even if he looks away, isn't he himself?
Besides, it's just an audition, and it's not a big deal, and it won't be long after I agree. But then he got busy again, in addition to this, he also had an audition and participated in the filming of a movie.
The name of the movie he participated in is "Ocean's Thirteen", yes, yes, it's George? The thief drama led by Clooney, although "Oceans Twelve" has a bad reputation, the box office is still very good, and "Oceans Thirteen" is naturally on the agenda.
And now, in addition to Clooney and Brad, Sean is also already a superstar-level mission, so in order to let him play well, Clooney said within a few words after calling, rest assured, you will have a wonderful plot.
In fact, even if there is no such sentence, Sean will not refuse, they have already cooperated twice, and they don't care about the third time, let alone Clooney's invitation. However, Clooney should also understand this, but he still made a promise, and I have to admit that he is indeed very good at being a person.
This matter is so decided, and then we will meet together to discuss related matters, and this time it will take five or six months to shoot like the second part, so as to match their respective schedules. Also, Clooney wants to find Al? Pacino comes to play the villain, well, good idea, there aren't many villains played by Pacino.
The negotiations went well, and Sean promised to give the schedule as much as possible, and then Brad, who came with Clooney, talked about another thing.
"Do you have a script you've taken recently?" He asked first, hesitantly, as if he was worried about something.
"Not yet, but there are a few under consideration, what's the matter?" In this case, Sean naturally will not speak and say death.
"Hmm......" Brad scratched his head and said after a few seconds, "Well, that's right, I'm working on a movie, a ...... Western, based on a true story. Do you know Jesse? James? One of the most famous gunslingers of the Frontier West, and one of the most famous heroes, he led the Jamese gang to run amok, but was later betrayed and shot dead by his men after retreating. ”
"You want to make a movie about his experiences?" Sean immediately asked.
"That's right," Brad nodded, "someone published a book about Robert in '83? Ford, is it to betray Jesse? James's book for that gang member, my production company bought the rights and then united with Ridley? Scott made it together. Of course, twists and turns are still indispensable, you also know that Westerns are not very optimistic now, and they could have started filming in 05, but there are always accidents, so it has been delayed until now. Funding is one aspect, actors are another, and it takes a lot of effort. ”
Sean didn't say anything, just made a listening look, he roughly guessed what he wanted to say, it was nothing more than the lack of a supporting role - the protagonist must be Brad's own, this is not to say - and he couldn't find a suitable actor, so he wanted to ask him if he was interested. However, Sean's status in Hollywood is not much worse than Brad's, and Brad has a little more qualifications than him and knows more people than him, but it can be said that he has failed in other places, so it is a bit unspeakable to ask him to play a supporting role.
However, Brad can get to the point where he is now, and he is also an expert in observing words and feelings, although Sean remained calm, he still saw something, and after exchanging glances with Clooney, he asked bluntly: "I play Jesse in the movie?" James, and the important supporting actor Robert? Ford has never found a suitable candidate, and the only actor he has found is Cassie? Affleck fits a little bit, and then ...... George thinks you should be a good fit. ”
"Oh?" Sean replied noncommittally, and then looked at George? Clooney.
"I just made a suggestion," Clooney said, "but the script is really good, and if I had been younger, I might have tried it." ”
He is still so slippery, and neither side can be offended, since this is the case, Sean did not refuse: "So, can I read the script first?" ”
"No problem!" Brad agreed, "I'll get someone to your mailbox as soon as possible." ”
The above is the previous contact, and then, when Sean went to the appointment that day, he received the script, because he was busy going to meet Weinstein, he just read it in a hurry, and then because he was thinking about Anderson, it took a day and a half to start reading the script fully.
To be honest, the story can only be considered average, but the characters are not bad - but this good is for the Robert he needs to play? As far as Ford is concerned, Jesse? Although James is also well shaped, his image is too perfect, he values righteousness and family, does things in a measured manner, is enthusiastic and calm, and is a little ...... It's not like ordinary people.
Conversely, Robert? Ford, timid, cowardly, and full of fantasy, but he can be ruthless when he should be, and he seems to be flesh and blood, so Sean is really a little excited. It's not a big deal to be a supporting role, although Brad doesn't have the idea of pulling him over as a foil in addition to wanting to find a good actor to support the movie, but it's not uncommon for supporting roles to steal the limelight from the protagonist in Hollywood, it's just ......
"Westerns are gone, Sean, and we should all know that." That's what Frederick said.
When this kind of thing happens, Sean will consult him, Sanders, and Galen, of course, whether to use it or not is his own business.
"Maybe there will be a miracle, but not necessarily." Although Sean replied so, looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was raising the bar.
So Sanders added: "Basically not, Westerns have indeed declined, maybe this role is good, but unless the film is made well enough to get a little word of mouth, as for the box office, let alone think about it." ”
As an agent, he was indeed dutiful, and he was not ambiguous when he should be on the same page as Frederick, preventing Sean from doing things that might cause sequelae.
"What's more, you still have this, don't you?" Sanders picked up another script and waved it, the script for the movie Anderson and Weinstein were talking about that day, and the script called "Blood Is Coming" was as good as they said, especially the noir vibe, the mockery—the mockery of theology and hypocrisy—and the tone was sharp.
"You like this script?" Sean asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I think it's good, and so do Galen and Neil." Sanders said and looked at Frederick.
"It's really good," the agent hesitated, "but the atmosphere is a little too dark, and the mainstream public opinion won't like it, and there is no need to say much about the box office." ”
"But at least it's not much worse than word-of-mouth." Sanders then added that he knew what Sean wanted.
Of course, Frederick also knew it, so even if he didn't approve of it, he just spread his hands and didn't have an interface after hearing this.
Sean couldn't help but groan, to be honest, intuitively, there was a lot of reaction to both scripts, but "Blood is Coming" was bigger. In this way, this script can't be let go, but the script of "Death of a Sharpshooter" recommended by Brad also feels okay - to Robert, to be exact? Ford's character — and he had some idea in his mind to try it.
So, what he really wants in his heart is to get both, but in this way, it will be a little troublesome how to distribute the schedule. Although the schedule of "Ocean's Thirteen" is very loose, with a shooting time of up to 6 months, it is only relatively loose, and it is okay to insert a movie that needs to be shot for 2 to 3 months, but insert two......
"Sandy, Fred, ask Brad and Weinstein about when the movie will start filming and how much time it will take." Sean said the last.
They are all people who are already very familiar with each other, and as soon as his words came out, Sanders and Frederick both understood his intentions, looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, and agreed together. They can all know that what Sean decides, unless there is really no way to achieve it, he will generally not give up.
Of course, they can't speak, and someone always says, "If you're going to make three movies at the same time, I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of effort, Sean." ”
"It's not like I don't have experience working on three films at the same time, Galen." Sean didn't care.
"But that's one after it's over." Galen continued to remind.
"Yes, I know, but Ocean's Twelve was also something I got out of between the shoots of other films," Sean was still unconvinced, "and it's okay now." ”
Then he grabbed the two scripts and shook them: "Moreover, both of these stories take place in the West, which means that they may have to be filmed in Texas or Nevada, so if we can get a specific date for the film, we can find a way to adjust it." ”
"Well, since you've decided ......" At this point, Galen could only shrug his shoulders and sigh in passing: "If Emma were here, I should be able to persuade you, you would listen to her more now." ”
After a pause, he asked curiously: "What are you having conflicts with because of what, she hasn't treated you well until now, and she has basically come and left recently, without a single superfluous word." ”
Sean suddenly collapsed: "Okay, Galen, leave this alone." ”
With that, he got up and left the living room and went out into the garden, where the others shook their heads together, and then Sanders and Frederick left first.
Looking at Sean's back outside, he was kicking the lawn a little stupidly, and he didn't know what he was stimulated before.
How do I know what's going on...... Sean was quite depressed at this time, and originally just saw that her face softened slightly, so he asked, "Don't you also want to be an actor, do you need me to recommend you roles", God knows why she suddenly got angry again.
