"Can I hear more about it? You must know that the script you got is not very complete. Frederick asked quietly.

Zach and Schumacher looked at each other, and the former immediately began to briefly introduce him: "To put it simply, the male protagonist Stu is an advertising salesman who has no achievements in his thirties, and he talks a lot every day, and he survives by stealing and sliding. He has a wife whom he loves very much, but at the same time is obsessed with a young girl and wants to cheat. In order to cope with his wife's inspection, he did not dare to use his mobile phone to contact the other party, so he could only use the phone of the public phone booth.

Then, one day, he called his lover on the payphone as usual, and when it was over, the phone suddenly rang, and Stu hesitated for a moment to take the microphone. It's a bad decision, there's a perverted sniper on the microphone, he targets Stu, threatens him with a sniper rifle and teases him, and makes him recruit the police, his wife, and his lover to admit that he cheated on the camera and that he is a dirty man. ”

He stopped at this point, about how the male protagonist was trapped in the phone booth and how he struggled, it is all in the script, there is no need to repeat it again.

After Zach spoke, Schumacher began to add: "Larry had the idea of this script very early, he once showed Hitchcock, and he liked it very much." But the only problem was how to trap a man in a phone booth for 80 minutes, so the story was put on hold. It was only in the late 90s of the last century that he had the inspiration to complete the idea with a sniper. I loved his script and David too, and we put a lot of work into it, so we didn't want to leak the news until it was over. ”

Saying this is nothing more than to emphasize the importance of the movie, the so-called "don't want to leak the news" is just to cover up, this kind of trick Frederick has seen countless times, and it is difficult for him. In fact, Schumacher's words were a good thing, buying him a lot of time to organize his words better.

"Again, I state that I won't give out the slightest bit of information, so you can rest assured," Frederick said first, and then changed the subject, "and then I don't think there's a problem with Sean playing this role." ”

He had a smile on his face and a strong confidence in his tone, as if it was something that could not be questioned. Indeed, if a salesman can't believe that his stuff is excellent and perfect, then he can't recommend anything.

"I know you're concerned about his age," Frederick quickly spoke again before Zach could speak to Schumacher, "but, Anthony? Minghella was equally concerned. That's not to say that he has a good eye, in fact, in a sense, he really doesn't have a good eye, because Sean has been with him for months, but he has never seen his real age.

However, this can also show that Sean is definitely not the kind of young man who looks immature, no matter whether Minghella doesn't see it, there are so many people in the crew of "Genius Ripley", and none of them can see it, if it weren't for Sean taking the initiative to admit it, no one may have determined his real age through observation. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped, and after the other party digested it, he continued: "And the second concern, acting, is also not a problem. I think that now in Hollywood, no one knows that Sean has successfully performed the temperament and posture of a 25-year-old mature man at the age of 18. Although he is only 20 years old now, it will not be a problem to play a role that is nearly 30 years old. As for the issue of experience, according to David's previous description, we can conclude that the male protagonist spends most of his time in a phone booth, so there is no need to show the scene of warmth or quarrel with his wife at home, so it is okay to deal with the relationship of stepping on two boats and then having to choose one side, right? ”

Zach and Schumacher looked at each other in surprise, and after a few more minutes of silence, the director spoke again: "I have to say, you're very good at avoiding the important, Fred, but it's like convincing us, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"It's okay, how about an audition and a private conversation?" Frederick shrugged his shoulders without the slightest look of frustration, "I don't think you've already considered the actor right now, right?" Then when you audition, pay a little attention to Sean, and if you want, give him the hardest test. At the same time, it should be okay to communicate again in private, observe him in all aspects, and see how he is doing, right? ”

zuihou summed it up in a sincere tone: "I like Sean's sentence very much, sometimes you have to dare to try and be good at trying new things, so that you can continue to break through yourself." I think he has a soul in his body that is much more mature than his age, and I think he can get more opportunities. ”

Zach scratched his head and exchanged glances with Schumacher: "I have to say, Fred, you're a little difficult, and if you don't agree, you definitely won't stop, so...... So be it. ”

"I'll take a good look at the young man you speak of, with my own eyes." Schumacher added with a smile -

"Auditions between the 10th and 15th of next month? weishenme can't be sure down? Sean asked with a grunt.

"Do you need me to repeat what I said before?" Frederick rolled his eyes, "I struggled to get them to agree. ”

"Well, I know you're professional and hardworking, Fred," Sean sighed, "but...... The test will be severe...... This makes me very depressed, Fred, it's like when I take an exam, everyone else has a C in the paper, but mine has an A+, which is so unfair. ”

"This shijie is not fair," Frederick looked quite proud, indeed, it was rare to encounter such a time to embarrass Sean, "Since you want to get this role that may be close to 30 years old at the age of 20, you naturally have to work harder to fight for it." ”

"Well, I have to know where the effort is, right?" Sean spread his hands.

"Where else can you make yourself look as mature as possible," Fred shrugged, "and you can go find some mature characters and perform in front of the mirror at home, and if necessary, you can find a makeup artist and let him dress you up a little more mature." Besides, you've already read the script, so you can do targeted exercises. ”

"Didn't you tell them that I liked the character so much?" Sean groaned and asked.

"That's the other thing I'm going to tell you, don't act too eager for the character in front of them, we're begging them to beg them to be more vulnerable, so they can control the rhythm of things." Frederick said solemnly, "In general, Joe? Schumacher was a little moved, but David? Zach doesn't have a noticeable response, so while you're practicing, try to speak in a targeted way when communicating in private. ”

He said and sighed: "It seems that I can easily get their promise, but in fact, there are many other factors, such as they don't want to leak the news for the time being, or they are worried that I will continue to pester, etc., so you still need to do a lot of things if you want to get this role." ”

"Okay, Fred, I know," Sean laughed at this point, "then try hard, no matter what, it won't be worse than when you were competing for 'Ripley the Genius'"

"Very well, then you're going to party with me in two days," Frederick said immediately, "and we need to get to know some people from 20th Century Fox who have a production company that makes this film." ”

He said it very well, not giving Sean a chance to refuse at all, and jokingly added: "You always play some roles that are older than yourself, maybe this will become your specialty." ”

After sending off the agent, Sean could breathe a sigh of relief, but soon became depressed again.

"Hell, I won't be able to rest for the next half a month." He sighed.

The script for "Sniper Phone Booth" was discovered a week after the end of "Death Shooting", so it is still late July, and there is still more than half a month before August 10 to 15, although this gives him enough time to prepare for the role, but the rest time is also greatly reduced.

"Don't complain, Sean, it's your choice." As always, Galen reminded, "So you have to take the consequences." ”

"If I tried my best and used 200% of my strength, but Zuihou still failed, it would be too sad." Sean pretended to exaggerate.

"Who said that as long as you do your best, it doesn't matter what the result is?" Galen continued to tease, and deliberately pulled Sanders onto the boat: "Did you say yes, Sandy? ”

"yes, that's right." Sanders replied perfunctorily, he looked strange, sitting there distracted, as if thinking about something important.

In fact, he has always been like this since the agent came, and it is strange that he has to have a couple of words with Frederick at other times, but today he has nothing superfluous.

"Hey, Sandy, what are you thinking?" Sean immediately asked, "Could it be that without us knowing, which lovely girl do you know?" ”

"Maybe it's Emily from 146, he stared at the neighbors for a while when you invited them over to the party." Galen helped out beside him.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about some questions, about Sean," Sanders shook his head, "Since Sean is going to let me go on the agent side, then I'm going to have to look like it." ”

Sean and Galen looked at each other, then laughed, "Don't be in such a hurry, Sandy, this kind of thing has to be done slowly. ”

Then he looked at him, "Well, tell me what you think, maybe Galen and I can give some advice." ”

Sanders opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure, I'd like to try first." ”

"Well, be careful." Sean was not reluctant, and finally gave a word of encouragement.
