"yes, meet again." Scorsese raised his thick black eyebrows, and quietly reached out to shake Sean's hand, "You can call me Martin." ”

"It's a great honor," Sean smiled slightly, "with all due respect, Martin, what made you want to make about Howard?" What about Hughes's biographical films? ”

"You think it's weird for me to direct a biographical film?" Scorsese narrowed his eyes.

"Of course not, any great director will try to make films of all genres as much as possible, and I wouldn't be surprised if you made a children's film for yourself and all the children one day," Sean said sincerely, "I'm just curious." ”

Scorsese smiled, finally a little friendly: "It's very simple, his story appealed to me, there are few people who are as legendary as him, he is a genius, a genius in every way, no matter what he does, he can make movies, he can build airplanes, he can fly airplanes, he can do things that no one else can do." But he is also a contradictory person, confident and even arrogant, but at the same time has a serious cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, so entangled, just like ...... It's like ......"

"Like two sides of the same coin, the same thing breeds a completely different picture." Sean immediately answered.

"That's right, that's right," Scorsese smiled even more, "isn't that curious?" So I had Jihua on the screen for a long time, and it's only now that I'm starting to do it. ”

"It seems that Harvey was right, and I was really lucky that if you had been preparing for a year earlier, I might not have been able to audition." Sean then said this, although he seemed a little nonchalant, but his eyes were always on Scorsese.

The old man didn't answer, his expression was a little subtle, his eyelids drooped behind the frames, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"That's not necessarily, with the maturity you showed, maybe Martin will have to prepare two years in advance, so that there will be no business for you" Weinstein was also interesting enough, and at this time he interjected to help.

"Let's put it this way, Sean," Scorsese sighed at this point, "your audition was good, I saw it from beginning to end, you were also committed, and your acting skills were remarkable, capturing the confidence and recklessness of Hughes's youth." And, now that I'm talking to you face-to-face, I'm surprised that you do know Hughes a little bit. ”

Obviously, Sean's straightforward questioning still had a certain effect, and Scorsese didn't hate this directness, but that didn't mean he approved of him.

After a pause, Scorsese spoke again: "But, you have to understand, Sean, what I need is a more complicated Howard between the ages of 20 and 50?" Hughes, he is unruly confident, but also helpless and irritable, although he is always striding forward, but there are also things that cannot be done, such as not being able to get the woman he loves, such as almost not being able to cope with the questioning of Congress. ”

Sean's face was slightly ugly, which was tantamount to refusal, and it was the last reason he wanted to hear.

"Are you sure I won't be able to do what you ask, Martin?" After a moment of silence, he asked.

This was somewhat rude, but Scorsese didn't get angry, just shrugged his shoulders very calmly: "I'm sure you can do it, Sean, your acting skills are excellent, but it's still lacking." ”

"In other words, Mr. Tang, you became famous too quickly, and it still takes time to precipitate," without waiting for Sean to defend himself, a middle-aged man who had been standing next to him interjected at this time, "All the materials you sent, the movies you participated in, and the videos you showed yourself, we have all watched them carefully, please believe that we will make a fair choice." ”

"Who is this?" Despite his annoyance, Sean remained calm on the surface, revealing just the right amount of doubt.

"Brian, Brian? Johnson, one of Martin's assistant directors. The other party reached out and touched Sean, and then suffered from a very sincere tone, "You are a great actor, Sean." ”

"Xiexie, but what I'm trying to say is......" Sean still wants to keep trying.

"Brian has made it clear, Sean," Scorsese interrupted, "We've already read all your information, and if it's our business to make a decision, please be patient for another two days, and the results will come soon." ”

Then, before Sean could say anything, he raised a hand: "Okay, that's it, Sean, it's nice to see you here." ”

After speaking, he nodded to Weinstein and left here with Johnson, and after they left, Weinstein also patted Sean on the shoulder and left without saying anything.

Sean stood there for a long time before he let out a long breath and looked at Sanders, who was following him without saying a word from beginning to end, with a wry smile.

"Looks like we're messed up?" He said gloomily.

"Perhaps...... Is there any other way? Sanders also said with some uncertainty, "For example, to get the opportunity to communicate privately with Scorsese?" ”

"How can it be so easy, and ...... I'm afraid it won't work tonight," Sean shook his head, then sighed, "Contacting too often will only waste the good impression that the other party has now, but, he also said before, the results will be available in two days at most, how can I contact him privately in such a short time?" ”

As he spoke, he smiled wryly: "He really doesn't like me, because he is young, because he became famous too quickly, so he doesn't think I can capture Hughes's traits from beginning to end." ”

"That's what the assistant director said, he doesn't represent Scorsese." Sanders persuaded.

"Really? Do you really think so? A voice sounded suddenly, and then, the former assistant director of Scorsese reappeared in front of the two.

Sean and Sanders both froze, and then were a little embarrassed, the other party was afraid that they heard the words just now.

"Is there anything wrong, Mr. Johnson?" Sean immediately coughed dryly.

"Something unpleasant, Mr. Tang." Johnson shrugged, "There are some things that Martin can't talk about, but I don't have that scruples, and as an assistant director, sometimes I have to come forward to do something that he doesn't want to do." ”

Sean suddenly frowned: "For example?" ”

"I'll admit you're a good actor, Mr. Don," Johnson said in a good moment's time, "and as I said before, we've seen all of your profiles, photos, audition videos, and your tapes, and it's been a bit of a surprise. However, I have to say for Martin, you have already lost the election, so don't waste your efforts. ”

Sean froze for a few seconds, didn't seem to understand what he was saying, and asked a little dryly after a while: "You came back to tell me this?" ”

"Yes, I know it's cruel, but I'm still going to come and tell you," Johnson shrugged, "please don't bother Martin again." ”

Speaking of Zuihou, his tone was a little impatient, and if he waved his hand again, it would be like chasing flies.

"Just because I'm young and rise to fame too quickly?" Sean, who was holding back his anger, said in a questioning tone.

"That's right," the other party replied crisply, "I'll make it clear, Mr. Tang, you are not qualified to cooperate with Martin now, although you are nominated for an Oscar, a producer, and a Grammy, but in Martin's eyes, you are no better than other actors, and it is already good to agree to your audition." ”

Sean's face suddenly became a little ugly, and Saunders, who had been frowning beside him, asked out loud, "Are you sure this is what Mr. Scorsese meant?" ”

Johnson looked him up and down, and then sneered: "Believe it or not is up to you, of course you can go to Martin to confront him, but Martin will never admit it, and ...... in the future"

He didn't say any more, but the meaning behind them understood each other, and then, the other party left with a sneer.

"Calm down, Sean." Looking at the back of the guy leaving, Sanders said grinding his teeth.

"I'm calm......" Sean's face turned a lot red at first, and his fists were clenched, but it quickly subsided and became a little uneasy.

"Let's go, there's no need to stay here any longer." He walked towards the door without looking back, as if he would not stay longer for a second.

"Wait, Sean, we're just going to go?" Sanders followed, asking hurriedly.

"So what else can we do?" Sean asked without looking back, with a strong unwillingness and loss in his tone, "You also heard what you said just now, and you are not qualified?" Hell not qualified! ”

"Wait, Sean, listen to me," Sanders stopped him, "don't you think that's a little weird?" While Scorsese did say some concerns, it was Johnson who said it. ”

"So what?" Sean stared at him hatefully and asked, "Don't mention anything to talk about this kind of thing in private, Sandy, do you want Scorsese to say in front of me that he didn't think about you at all?!" ”

He raised his voice as he spoke: "Don't you understand, he doesn't like me, he hates me!" He agreed that I auditioned just to make up the numbers! ”

Even though it was already at the door, and there weren't many people around, there were still a few people in the distance who glanced this way, and Sean looked back to inquire, and then walked out again.

Sanders stood there and clenched his fists, and after a few seconds, he waved his hand violently, and rushed to the front in a few steps, grabbing Sean and asking in a low voice, "You just gave up?" You just give up?! Who said that you can't give up even a second without zuihou! Who forgot to sleep and eat for the role of Hughes! Now it's just an assistant director who came over and passed on a few words, and you're going to give up? All the ideas we came up with, the efforts we made, were all in vain? Look at me, Sean, and tell me if it's been in vain! ”

In the face of this questioning, Sean looked at him for a long time, and then lowered his head: "Enough, Sandy, enough is enough, as Fred said, there are always imperfections in this shijie, and I have said that not all efforts are rewarded." ”

He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Xiexie, Sandy, but it doesn't matter, as long as you work hard, it's enough to be worthy of yourself." ”

Sean sighed softly and walked out, but Sanders stood still and didn't move, just unwilling to purse his lips into a straight line, and then, looking at his back, he made up his mind.
