"Forty-two!" Sean exhaled, gritted his teeth and slowly lowered the arm force in front of him, and then slowly lifted it up, "Forty-three!" ”

This instrument requires him to sit in a position, grasp the arm force device connected to the back and lift it up, and at the same time exercise the arm, he can also exercise the lower abdomen, killing several birds with one stone.

"Forty-seven, forty-eight, forty-nine......" Sean was already covered in sweat at this time, and the front and back of his vest had been wet for a long time, "Fifty! ”

Finally, after completing the scheduled exercise, Sean put down his arm strength machine and let out a long breath, then got up and wiped it with the towel handed by the coach.

"Very well, rest for fifteen to twenty minutes," the instructor said, "and then we'll try another fifty difficult sit-ups, and of course, stop if you feel uncomfortable, don't force it." ”

Then, when Sean nodded to indicate that he understood, he proposed again: "To be honest, Mr. Tang, I think you can try protein powder." ”

"Thank you for the suggestion, Andrew, but my opinion hasn't changed," Sean shook his head, "I'll admit that protein powder can make people replenish calories faster, but that's too one-dimensional, and I'd rather extract calories from food, even though it makes me ......"

He spread his hands and made a "you know" gesture, and the coach nodded, not saying anything more.

After wiping his head with a towel, taking two more sips of water, and walking a few steps back and forth in the gym, Sean was completely relaxed. The effect of protein powder is actually not as great as ordinary people think, it just allows the body to consume more calories, which is more suitable for pregnant women who are pregnant and do not want to gain weight, or children who are growing their bodies, as well as people who want to diet and vegetarians.

If you want to build muscle, you also need to consume a lot of fat, and the muscles of Rambo or Terminator need hormones. Sean plays Batman, not Rambo and Terminator, and he doesn't need to show his flesh much, most of the time he wears a batsuit, and since he wears a batsuit, it's too easy to make himself look strong, so Christopher's request is just to make him gain weight, at least look big.

However, as I said before, it would be better to do this less often. It's easy to say if it's just a simple weight gain, but he just lost more than ten pounds for "Milk" before, so that the weight of losing and adding for a while is very damaging to the body. Similarly, as mentioned before, when you reduce, add a few greens to an apple every day, and eat with water in your mouth every day, and when you increase, you overeat every day, and you can't hold on, in case it causes hormonal disorders in the body, it will be too unlucky.

Well, "Milk" is coming to an end, don't think about it so much. Sean said this to himself, but when he thought of "Milk", he couldn't help but grin.

Although the gesture shown in front of Frederick and them in the afternoon was a bit exaggerated, it was not much different from his true inner feelings, and he definitely did not want to mention everything about the "Milk" crew when they were filming behind closed doors in mid-April.

It's not that there was any excesses during the shooting, Sean is also a big man now, it's just that some things are obviously well conceived, but once they are implemented, all kinds of problems will arise.

For example, even if it is the simplest, two men lying naked on the bed making love, he will involuntarily tense his body, not to mention other shots.

As a result, many shots had to be shot repeatedly, and Sant said at the beginning that he would never stop until he achieved the effect he wanted. One can imagine what a torture it was for Sean.

He is very glad that "Milk" is not "Brokeback Mountain", and the main content is to fight for the rights and interests of gay groups, and there are not so many passion scenes, otherwise he doesn't know if he can hold on.

Rao is like this, this filming still tortured him for at least two weeks, so much so that "Milk", which could have been basically closed now, had to be delayed until the end of the month.

It was thanks to some details that he was able to start gaining weight, otherwise he might really need hormones.

In short, because of this, he kept silent about this shooting, and he didn't even want to remember. Look at their reactions today, fortunately, they drove Emma back during the filming, otherwise these guys wouldn't know how to hit themselves.

After calming down a little, Sean's thoughts began to turn to the news brought by Frederick, David? What will happen to Finch, a genius director, looking for him?

Well, as a well-known director and producer, suddenly reaching out to a young man who had only talked in general terms before, and thinking about it with his knees, knew what it would be. In fact, Frederick brought the news that he wanted to meet him and talk about a certain script.

It's just that this message is so simple, so simple that there is no useful information at all, or Frederick added a few words: "Probably the one adapted from F. Scott? Fitzgrande's 1922 play called "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," have I heard of David? Finch got it, but whether it was or not was not confirmed yet. ”

Well, anyway, a well-known director who has nothing to do with it suddenly comes to the door and says let's talk, it's mostly about cooperation, but ......

"Did you tell him that 'Batman Episodes: The Dark Knight' might be filmed until November?" Sean asked at the time.

Christopher doesn't like CG very much, so the shooting is basically based on real scenes, and when the first part was filmed before, the crew filmed in Iceland and Britain, and also created a huge bat cave in the studio.

And this time, because of the excellent results of the first film, he was able to let go of his hands and feet to make the movie in his mind, not only completed the script of "The Dark Knight" with his younger brother Jonathan, but also got the final editing rights, so he naturally wanted to do it ambitiously.

So the filming cycle was stretched for a long time, although there was a lot of rest, according to the information that came, sometimes even half a month was resting. Although this allows Sean to better adjust himself, it also limits him, you must know that in addition to the resounding name of Playboy, he also has another nickname of a model worker.

At the beginning, he could release seven or eight movies starring him a year, even if it was facilitated by chance, but it was enough to show his diligence. But in this way, except for "The Dark Knight", it is basically impossible for him to have any connection with other movies this year.

In fact, if he hadn't seized the spare time and used the time before the filming of "The Dark Knight" to complete "Milk", Sean would have had a lot of headaches.

"I didn't," Frederick replied to Sean's hesitation, "after all, what the hell is going on, you need to meet to find out, he didn't say on the phone, he wanted you to play the role." ”

Yes, maybe people want to attract investment, or ask them to do distribution, after all, the results of Reincarnation Pictures in recent years have also been quite impressive, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal to meet - the agent still understands Sean's thoughts very well.

Anyway, David? Finch is a very personal and well-known director, although with Michael? Bei is the same as shooting commercials and MTV, but he walks the same path as Michael? Bey is completely different. Michael? Bei took his explosive aesthetics to the extreme, no matter what kind of theme, he was willing to have one or two explosions, even if it was "Escape from Clone Island", which was easy to have some connotation, there were still car chase scenes and explosion scenes.

Of course, this also led to another fiasco after "Pearl Harbor", which is a pity for Scarlett's performance, if it weren't for DreamWorks and being recommended to direct "Transformers", I'm afraid I don't know when he will be able to turn over.

And David? Finch has gone all the way to the black in cult-style films, "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club", "Zodiac", etc., all show a strong black style, even the more commercial "Mind Game" and "Thriller Space", so he is called a director who does not conform to the conventional film language.

As a well-known independent film director and producer, Sean naturally wants to work with him if he has the opportunity, and it is not only an interesting attempt, he himself would love to work with most of Hollywood's well-known directors once. So, even though there are still many questions, since the other party has already sent out an invitation, it is not a big deal to go and see it first, just like Frederick said, maybe people are really here to attract investment or find issuance?

Letting go of some tangled psychology, Sean moved his body and walked to the coach: "Let's continue." ”――

And David? Finch met in his office, and the other party originally planned to meet Sean in a café or club outside, but Sean decided to visit him in person to show his respect.

"Hello, Sean."

"Hello, David."

The two shook hands, David made a gesture of please, and the two sat down, and then Sean looked at each other unceremoniously. is only a little shorter than himself, like all directors, with a lean beard, although his hair is relatively small, and his forehead is also exposed, but the whole person is very energetic, his eyes are blazing, and he can't see a certain comment he gave himself: I have some evil thoughts that are different from ordinary people.

Then, Sean suddenly found that while he was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at himself, and at this time, his eyes met, and at the same time he was aware, the other party was also aware, and he was a little embarrassed. However, both of them quickly came back to their senses, and then they both laughed, and although the assistant and agent who came with them were confused, they tacitly did not say anything.

"Nice to meet you, Sean." David held out his hand again.

"I'm glad to meet you, David, too." Sean shook his hand again.

Although they had only met for a few minutes, because of that action, they both knew that the other party was a very active person, so there was no superfluous word, and David immediately went straight to the point: "I invited you to come over because there is a script I want you to read." ”

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button?" Sean immediately raised an eyebrow and asked, showing that he had done his homework.

"That's right, Brad recommended you to play the leading role." Finch nodded.
