Chapter 91: Are You Serious About Interviewing Her?
"Sign this guy's brokerage contract to the company." Sean asked for a pause to call the newcomer in, turned to Norris and said.
"Okay boss." Norris nodded, "You're bullish on him?" ”
"Yes, I am very optimistic about him, his brokerage contract can be signed for a few years, and the conditions are considered by yourself, but I have a requirement, that is, the liquidated damages should be set high enough." Sean emphasized.
Norris was glad he had asked 'how tall'.
"50 million, 100 million is better, whatever you want." Sean said casually.
The corners of Norris's mouth twitched fiercely, this price was too frustrating, and director John also looked at Sean in some shock.
Later, Sean chose two more people, namely Kiefer Sutherland, who later starred in the TV series "24 Hours of Counter-Terrorism", and James Spade of "Boston Legal".
The names of the two Sean can't be called, but they have a vague impression as soon as they appear in front of them.
It would be best if Norris could sign a brokerage contract, but it was not mandatory.
After several main roles of the pros and cons were decided, Sean, who was left to be more sophisticated, did not intervene again, and all the rights were handed over to director John.
Norris also does not interfere in John's casting work, he does not value these so-called rights, and by Sean's side, he does not dare to affect the filming of the film because of these things.
John was also very happy that he could get such a big right to direct a film for the first time, and his motivation was unexpectedly high.
In the morning, all the male actors took a break after the last round of interviews, and in the afternoon, the female characters in the movie were launched.
The whole play is dominated by a male lead, and the female characters are just vases here, but director John suggests changing one of the characters in the robbers to a woman.
According to his words, although the simple men's drama is wonderful, it is always less embellishment, and most of the robbers are men, it is impossible for the audience to say that they are not tired of watching, if they can create a female robber character, then it must be very attractive.
Sean can only say that he is worthy of being a commercial director, and the direction of consideration is directed at the box office.
Therefore, those actresses also knew the news when they received the last round of interview notices, and they were pleasantly surprised.
It's also more prepared.
Before starting the interview, Norris went to Sean alone, "Boss, I have something. ”
Sean didn't speak, just raised his chin, "Didn't the movie add a heroine, I have someone to introduce here." ”
Sean raised an eyebrow, "Relation? Who is it? ”
"Elizabeth McGovern." Norris handed over a photograph.
Yes, there is no detailed information, the actress, it is still the physiognomy that looks.
"Deborah?" Sean recognized the person above at a glance, and said with some surprise: "How come, he is willing to come to our small production." ”
No wonder Sean was surprised, he recognized this person at a glance, Deborah in "Once Upon a Time in America", Noodle's girlfriend, that is a famous movie in film history, Sean not only watched it in his previous life, but also went to the cinema some time ago in this life.
"Once Upon a Time in America" is a $40 million production, and the heroine of this kind of film will come to her own small production and make jokes.
"Why not, the onions that have been sparse at the box office in the United States are still stinky, the company went bankrupt within a few days of the movie's release, and the global box office was only more than $5 million in total, and the loss was miserable, and now the entire creative team is unlucky, Robert De Niro's value has fallen, not to mention Elizabeth McGovern, she now urgently needs to find a movie to reverse her image." Norris said.
As soon as he said this, Sean remembered that the American past he went to the cinema a while ago was extremely awkward, and it was very different from the memory in his mind, and he once thought that he remembered it wrong, but now he remembered that one of the major reasons why "Once Upon a Time in America" became famous in film history was also its huge loss.
40 million US dollars in 83 years, in exchange for more than 400 million in later generations, the company went bankrupt on the spot.
It is a typical film company that breaks a good hand, the director's film cut is 224 minutes, the film company releases 135 minutes, and the drama becomes a bad movie in seconds.
Looking at the photo in his hand, Sean couldn't help but think of Deborah's girly dance in his mind, thinking, thinking, Sean suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The girl Deborah seems to be Jennifer Connelly, and now she is ...... 15 years old!!
Three-year start...... Can't think about it too much!
Sean immediately shook his head and looked up, but he could put it on the reserve list.
However, 24-year-old Elizabeth McGovern is also quite beautiful, and these beauties in Hollywood are not ugly when they are young.
"Is there time to do it?" Sean asked, looking up.
"I'm not in a hurry, but ......," Norris gave a somewhat lewd smile, "but she has time in the evening and can arrange the interview location in your villa." ”
Sean:???
Are you serious about her interview?
Talking about the script in my villa on a big night, then who has my Sean become?
Resolutely can't agree!
Unless......
"I'm embarrassed by you." Sean frowned, but the corners of his mouth couldn't hide it.
Norris understood at a glance, "Boss, I hope you can give her a chance." ”
"Okay...... bar. Sean agreed with great difficulty, it seems that he will have to work overtime at night, but in order for the first step of the movie to be successful, he can only reluctantly make it difficult.
I went out with Norris, and it was time for the afternoon interview for the actress.
I have to say that Hollywood has a concentration of beauties from all over the world, and the quality is really higher than that of Newark!
Any one of them jumped out was prettier than a golf coach, and when one of the actresses came in, Sean smacked it hard, and carefully distinguished, isn't this Superman?
To be precise, it's a young version of Superman Fucking, I looked down and flipped through my resume, the actor's name is Diane Lynn, he started acting in stage plays in his teens, participated in the Shakespeare Festival in New York, starred in movies at the age of 13, appeared on the cover of Time magazine at the age of 14, and acted in "Betta" with Nicolas Cage in 83, and starred in two movies in 84.
Norris noticed that Sean was looking at Diane Lynn in a trance, and immediately leaned over and said, "Diane just broke up with rock star Jon Bon Jovi. ”
Sean turned his head and glanced at Norris, no, what do you mean by telling me this?
Does it matter to me whether to break up or not?
But...... It's really beautiful!
Sean was slightly distracted.
When interviewing for actresses, there was no direct decision, John asked everyone to go back and wait for news, after all, who to choose in the end, the competition is not only in the interview process......
In the end, John picked a few of them that he was satisfied with and handed the list to Sean, and the rest was up to Sean.
