Chapter 482: Troublesome Things

Sean has always thought that the dew point in the movie is meaningless, at most it creates a gimmick to give the audience a little motivation to enter the theater, there are many ways to promote the plot, and the dew point or even the bed scene is not necessary.

Like two of his favorite directors, Steven? Spielberg and Christopher? Nolan, not to mention the dew point in their works, even the bed scenes are pitiful - "Schindler's List" is a special case.

Well, this is all off topic, no matter what he thinks, when Miramax Films, who is in charge of the distribution of "Babel", he can give his opinion, but whether the other party listens or not is another matter. In fact, even "Little Sunshine Beauty" was released by them, or not that the two production companies are currently so good that they are almost wearing a pair of pants.

Besides, the Weinstein brothers started with the production and distribution of independent films, and they must be more experienced in this area, as long as they are guaranteed to make a profit...... It doesn't matter if it's profitable, both of these independent films are sure to be long-term screenings, as long as they can keep their capital.

So knowing the situation over there, Sean quickly turned his attention to the other side, the casting of "Eavesdropping".

"Frankly, I think it's good, but the style doesn't seem to be quite the same as a lot of Hollywood movies." Mark? Wahlberg flipped through the script, "The characters are very interesting, and they have some similarities with the characters I played, so you must have been specially tailored for me, right?" ”

The last sentence was a joke, so Sean smiled and shrugged: "It's just a coincidence, Eric didn't think that much about it when writing the script, but it does have some similarities with the characters you played, so it occurred to me that maybe it would be a good idea to invite you to be one of the leading actors." ”

Wahlberg closed the script, rolled it into a tube, tapped his head, and then looked at Sean: "Tell me, Sean, do you like this movie?" ”

"This ......," Sean paused, then smiled wryly, "What does this have to do with whether I am optimistic or not?" ”

"Of course it matters, now Hollywood is circulating everywhere, you have a good vision, and you are optimistic that the movies that are good will either have a good box office or a good reputation, of course I want to consult you." Wahlberg said eloquently.

"It's a rumor." Sean sighed, not so resolutely.

"If this was a rumor, it would have disappeared a long time ago, but the truth is that this rumor is spreading more and more widely." Wahlberg waved his hand, "Alright, Sean, tell me what you think." ”

Sean scratched his head, his face was full of depression, if it were another movie, he would have spoken a long time ago, but this "Eavesdropping" made him not know what to say.

As for his intuition, it is all based on what he may have seen in his previous life, which means that Sean must first feel some familiarity before he can react accordingly whether it is good or bad. Since he started to be an actor, although his intuition can't be said to be tried, it has really helped him a lot in choosing scripts, whether it is for himself or for others or for the company.

But for the first time for "Eavesdropping", a script that appeared because of his intervention, Sean felt that his intuition was not very solid, first he could feel a little familiar with the script, but then he did not react to it for good or bad.

Could it be that this is a script that was not produced in a previous life, or that this script has a great similarity with the script I saw in my previous life? However, in my previous life, I was wandering around the Internet, how many scripts that were formed but not made into movies will be completely put on the Internet for everyone to read?

If only I had a little more memories of my past life. Regarding the script of "Eavesdropping", Sean could only sigh in his heart, he didn't realize that his guess was very close to the truth.

In short, it is precisely because of this that he handed over the script to Samsara Pictures to operate, instead of his own Tang Pictures, even if something goes wrong, this little storm is still able to resist the current Samsara Pictures.

"Frankly, the style of this script is really different from most Hollywood films, so it's hard for me to make an accurate judgment, but I believe the story is worth filming." That's what Sean replied to Wahlberg at the end.

This answer is very clever, first he says that it is difficult for him to make a judgment, and then he says that he believes in the story, and at the same time gives a small hint that although the style of the script is different from most films, it is unknown what will happen when it is produced, after all, different directors have different styles.

So, after thinking about it for a while, Wahlberg agreed: "Okay, I'll try." ”

After hearing this, Sean breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it was not in vain that he took the initiative to ask him out.

"It's great, I'm looking forward to another classic role," he said with a smile, and then immediately got another inch, "Why don't you recommend another black actor by the way, Mark, you've read the script and know a lot of people, maybe there's a better fit." ”

There really aren't many black actors with temperament, Denzel? Washington is actually very suitable for the role in "Eavesdropping", but the other party has already played a policeman in "Training Day", and he doesn't want to repeat it, and he is also an actor.

Will? Smith is too handsome, it is difficult to play that kind of contradictory and a bit cowardly and honest, and he is too expensive.

Others, regardless of Don? Cheadle or Martin? Lawrence doesn't look like he has a sense of justice, so the crew that just formed discussed this role several times without results.

And Wahlberg plays the character who has a leukemia child at home, and the most lull and the man behind the scenes, and this character is a dead friend with the black agent, so it's not bad to let him recommend it, anyway, he has been in Hollywood longer than him.

"What do you think......" Wahlberg thought for a moment, and actually uttered a name, "Terrence?" How about Howard? ”

"Terrence? Howard? Sean read the name, frowned and thought for a few minutes, then slapped his thigh, "Ha, I remembered!" ”

Isn't it the black director in "Crash", if you think about it carefully, his appearance is indeed decent and his acting skills are good, at least Sean thinks that he was forced to get out of the car by the police in "Crash" very well.

In addition, last year, there was a movie called "Four Brothers" starring Wahlberg, in which Howard seems to play an important role. Sean has a good relationship with Wahlberg and occasionally watches the movies he starred in, so he remembers the black actor.

But more importantly, Sean remembered another thing, this Terrence? Howard seems to have played Tony in the first "Iron Man"? Stark's good black friend Rod. Then came to the second part, it seemed that because of the salary negotiation, the most unfortunate let Tang? Cheadle was replaced by someone.

Sean still has some impressions of these popular big productions, and after Samsara Pictures signed a cooperation agreement with Marvel Comics under the operation of Vladimir, he made the decision to select the two comic book characters "Iron Man" and "Captain America", so naturally his memory of "Iron Man" is more comprehensive.

Putting that aside, in general, Terrence? Howard was still a suitable candidate, so he quickly nodded: "Okay, so do you help me test it first, or should I let people contact him first?" ”

"You can get someone to contact him first," Wahlberg thought for a moment, "and I'll come forward if there's a problem, so that there will be more room for adjustment." ”

"No problem," Sean replied with a nod, pausing before asking, "You work together again, it won't be reminiscent of Four Brothers, right?" ”

“…… I suddenly want to change my mind, Sean," Wahlberg stared at him for a few seconds, "you don't look that confident. ”

Sean raised an eyebrow, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds, laughing together.

This matter is settled, this matter is just put down, as for there is another role, it is a little white face, so just find a young and handsome actor - of course, Sean is definitely not interested in participating. The rest is left to Vladimir and Reese, and as for himself, he turned his head to care about the film that Tang Pictures was going to produce, yes, it was the "Twilight" series, and now the casting has also begun.

But before that, there is another thing to do, after the break and the casting of "Eavesdropping", it is already the end of June 06, and it will be July soon, and there is something that must be done quickly.

"I'm going to talk to you." After waiting outside a music studio in Burbank for Zoe to come out, Sean said in a calm tone.

"That's what you asked me to do." Zoe replied with a blank face, but her eye sockets were faintly dark, which made her look a little haggard.

"We've got to get this out of the way." Sean frowned slightly.

"Why don't you go and talk to Emily about this?" Zoe stiffly pushed back.

Seeing her such an uncooperative attitude, Sean couldn't help but become a little nameless: "What, still have enough fun?" ”

But he immediately took a deep breath, after all, he was here to solve the problem: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's take the time to talk privately, you don't want to talk about us in this place?" ”

"I don't think we have anything else to talk about, you want to divorce and figure out how to go yourself." Zoe said as she turned to leave.

"If that's the case, then I'll file a lawsuit soon," Sean didn't stop her, but said in a calm tone behind her back, "It doesn't matter if it makes a big fuss, since I have given someone a promise, I will do it even if it is troublesome." ”

The back suddenly stopped, standing there for a long time, perhaps an illusion, and for a moment, Sean felt that Zoe's body seemed to be trembling violently. But the next second, she began to walk forward again, not stopping for a moment, until she disappeared around the corner of the hallway.

Taking another deep breath, then with a low sigh, Sean waved his hand in annoyance. Although I was mentally prepared for this scene, the feeling of depression still came up, what was the head of the girl who was originally a strange elf thinking now? Is it really going to get to that point?

Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but clench his fists, and then frowned at the thought of something, maybe...... Can I talk to Emily?
