Chapter 169: Another Role Arrived
"Almost...... It's been half a year. Sanders replied after a moment's thought, then looked at Frederick with an inquiring gaze.
"I've been here for more than ten years," the agent pulled the food on his plate with chopsticks, "and I still don't dare to say that I know this place completely, and I don't dare to run amok here, so I'm curious, what made you so bold and so casually recommend the script to Sean?" And it's a supporting role with not many scenes and no personality? ”
"That's Sean's request, and I'm just fulfilling his request." Sanders shrugged.
"That's not the point, the point is, what the hell are you thinking?!" Frederick looked up.
"Does it matter what I'm thinking?" Sanders continued to shrug his shoulders.
"Of course, you're part of the team, although I hate to admit it, so I have to know what you think, not Sean's." The broker is also relatively honest.
"My idea is, what Sean wants, then I'll fight for him." Sanders spread his hands with a "That's it" expression.
Frederick didn't speak, just looked at him without blinking, and only laughed after a while: "There is no doubt that I should have asked you to work with you to sell lawnmowers, not to build a future for actors." ”
Sanders frowned, but didn't speak, and the agent put away his laughter just rightly: "Listen, Sandy, I know you're Sean's friend and best friend, and everything you do is for him." But, as I've said before, pandering will only make Sean blind, and proper opposition will keep him in a clear head! ”
"Don't tell me this, Fred, this should be with your clients." Sanders didn't intend to put up with it anymore.
"Damn, I hate this," Frederick rolled his eyes in annoyance, "that's why I hate you, Sandy, can you imagine Bruce?" Willis called me, 'Hey, I've got a catch-on on a script and my lawnmower kid isn't against it at all, so I'll take care of the rest', come on, you know the." ”
He couldn't help but burst into a foul language, but with a smile and irony.
"I picked him up with my own hands, and I did it for him and Eric? Reece spat in his face, I won "Rapley the Genius" and "Here Comes the Grim Reaper" for him, I know how much potential he has, I won't let you ruin Sean, Sandy, no! Frederick said word by word in a somewhat sharp voice, as if to assert his authority.
"I know, you encouraged Sean to go to that party," Sanders snorted, wiping his mouth with a napkin, "I know that if you talk to me like that again, I'll smash your face!" ”
"You want to go head-to-head with me? That's what you think? The agent was surprisingly not angry, just said mockingly, and still swayed, similar to in the boxing ring.
"Frankly, you're not very good at choosing Chinese restaurants, it's too bad." Sanders didn't bother to talk to him, and immediately got up and left.
"Checkout!" After he left, he stuffed a ball of food into his mouth and chewed it, and Frederick, whose cheeks were bulging, called out this, followed by a sentence in Chinese: "The cloth should be washed." ”
Despite the unhappy lunch and the lack of a discussion on business, Frederick did not relax his work.
"I've had initial contact with MGM, and they're interested in you, and I'm preparing to talk to them further." In the agent's large office, Frederick said to Sean.
"So what are you waiting for?" Sean asked, puzzled.
"I'm still waiting for you," he sighed, "tell me, Sean, you want this role, there aren't many scenes, it's a complete supporting role, and the story is not bad, but there's not much worth playing." ”
"It's very simple, I want to work with a big-name actor once," Sean immediately threw out the excuse of wanting to haode, "I've already worked with top directors, and I want to try working with top actors." Although Gwyneth is already a first-line star, there is still some distance from the top, and Bruce, who is gradually declining because action movies are gradually losing the market? Willis, who has rejuvenated his second spring in the past two years because of "The Sixth Sense", is the most suitable for the situation where there are not many options at present. ”
This reason can be said to be quite high-sounding, so that Frederick wanted to argue, and for a while he couldn't find a place to speak.
"And, Billy? Bob? Thornton is also an old actor, and he must have learned a lot from working with him, and in addition to that, it can also expand his network, haven't you always told me to do this as much as possible? Sean continued.
"Really?" Frederick rubbed his chin and looked suspicious, "You shouldn't have a crush on Thornton's girlfriend, right?" ”
"Why," Sean laughed a little, "I don't want to say if I'm really interested in her, but I've heard they're going to get married soon." ”
"It sounds like so, but ......," Frederick narrowed, "who knows what you think, and besides, they're not married." ”
Sean immediately rolled his eyes: "This is the impression I left on you?" ”
"Of course not, I'm just talking." Frederick immediately said with a smile, but it didn't look like he believed it.
Billy? Bob? Thornton's girlfriend is the famous Angelina? Julie, even if Sean didn't pay much attention to Hollywood in his previous life, he knew this woman's fame, especially after robbing Jennifer? Aniston's husband. So, Sean, who likes Jennifer more, also knows a little bit about her bad things, 00 years and Billy? Bob? Songton got married, and he also smoked each other's blood and hung it on his chest in a small bottle to show each other's aiqing, and then separated in 02 and officially divorced in 03 These things are also known.
I have to say that this woman is very capable, although she did a lot of bad things when she was young, broke off relations with her father, robbed men with her mother, and had all kinds of erosions in her private life, she is a typical example of a bad girl in Hollywood. But after entering the new millennium, after a series of hype by adopting orphans, she changed from a bad girl to a loving virgin who was praised by everyone, and instantly became another person.
That alone was enough to keep Sean away. Although if a hypocrite pretends to be a lifetime, he is still a good person, but it is better for women with this kind of scheming and means to be few. Now think about it, Brad? Wasn't Pete exactly what she ate to death? But now because he is between him and Jennifer, I don't know if he will hook up with that woman.
Therefore, although Sean does have other intentions when he wants to join the crew of "Perfect Thief", it is definitely not because of that woman.
"What's more, and Kate? Blanchett, although my relationship with her is average, I still know each other to some extent, so if I ask her to help me say a few words, it is still no problem to introduce and get to know her. Sean then said with a calm expression, not seeing that he had any other thoughts at all.
"Okay, I got it." Since everything was said and done, Frederick didn't say anything more, and immediately agreed, anyway, the filming cycle of "Sniper Phone Booth" is very short, and it should not be a big deal to take another movie and play a supporting role.
After that, things went very smoothly, and there were no more twists and turns like "Sniper Phone Booth", Frederick had already been in contact with MGM, and after some more detailed discussions, it was finalized.
To not say that the other party has no doubts is very refreshing, in fact with David? Zach they're pretty much the same, producer David? Haberman and director Barry? Levinson is still worried that although this character is a supporting role, he is also a twenty-seven or eight-year-old male, so Sean's 20-year-old age is indeed a big problem.
However, he finally has a "Talented Ripley" with him, plus an Oscar nomination, Frederick moved out the "Sniper Phone Booth" that has not yet started filming, and only needs a salary of 1 million, and director Barry? Levinson also likes the routines of big stars and big productions, so when Sean deliberately went to audition and was recognized, under the temptation of cheap and good quality, the role belonged to him.
Although the prospects of the film do not seem to be good according to intuition, Sean does not care, the reason why he joined the crew of "Perfect Thief", and he played a supporting role with few scenes and little play, not for money and fame. Besides, which actor doesn't have a few works with average box office? He is not a starring actor, and even if there is a problem, he has to find Willis and Thornton first, as well as the director and producer.
And it's strange that after reading the full script, Sean thinks the story should be pretty good. is an adaptation of a live-action crime story, and a good star cast, Willis still has box office appeal, even if the ending is that the criminal escapes, which does not conform to the mainstream spirit, but it is not enough to affect the overall structure, right?
Besides, Levinson is also a veteran director, and there are masterpieces like "Rain Man" and "The Sleeper", even if they are just decent performances, they should have good results, right?
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, there should be something in this that you didn't notice in your previous life. Sean thought freely.
Since it's not for the purpose of increasing fame in this movie, let's think about how you want to take this opportunity to complete your jihua, and you must not let her slip through her fingertips again! He pinched his fingers at the thought.
After that, Sean is going to get busy again, as the actor of "Sniper Phone Booth", he has to be ready to shoot, and the movie may start shooting at any time after it turns over in September. Although he doesn't need any special exercises, such as how to use a gun or fight, he has to play a character who is several years older than himself, so it is necessary to have a thorough preparation like in "The Genius Ripley".
What's more, the better his acting skills, the smoother the shooting, and the smoother the shooting, the earlier the time to seal the shot. You must know that the start time of "The Perfect Thief" is November, although he will not be filmed at the beginning, but if the time drags on for too long, causing the crew to run on both sides, it will be a little inappropriate, so it can be completed in four weeks, "Sniper Phone Booth" can be completed in four weeks, I believe this is also what Zach and Schumacher want to see.
