Chapter 192: Realistic Style, I Miss My Sister
Boston, Grand Excel Hotel.
In a business meeting room, Martin Scorsese met the young actor of his name.
The temperament is introverted, except for some handsome, the others are bland.
Like a lot of ordinary police detectives he saw in the afternoon at the police station.
The two had already greeted each other, and Scorsese asked directly, "How did you end up in Boston?" ”
"I want to fight for the role of Colin Sullivan." Martin understands the progress of the crew and makes no secret of his eagerness, "I am confident in my acting skills, I want to be recognized by you in the audition, even if there is only one percent hope, I will give 100 percent." ”
He selectively said his real experience: "I was born in the slums of Atlanta, and I saw more drug dealers and gangsters than PD, and I lacked this knowledge, so I specifically asked the agency to contact BPD and join them to experience it in person." ”
Knowing the gangsters and experiencing life in BPD, isn't this the alternative Colin Sullivan?
Scorsese, who was almost surrounded by Martin's name at the crew meeting, was naturally impressed, and as a veteran director, he knew the importance of investors.
Not to mention the filming of the film, the award is still counting on investors to continue to pay money.
He asked, "You're not from Boston?" Accent? ”
Martin said truthfully: "I have been practicing recently and have come to Boston to strengthen it. ”
Scorsese nodded secretly, and the actor's seriousness was impeccable.
At this moment, he was like an examiner: "Do you have any experience?" ”
Martin recalled the films he had watched: "It's very different from the image in the media, and it's even more different from the police movies, they are all ordinary people, they don't have much skill, they swear all day long and make obscene jokes, sometimes they don't follow the rules in handling cases, and some have psychological problems and need psychological counseling......"
Scorsese nodded slightly, the style of the original Hong Kong film is not suitable for North America.
Too romantic and poetic.
Scorsese is certain of a realistic style, which coincides with Martin's words.
"Have you read the script?" Seeing Martin nodding, he simply said: "Perform a scene where you abandon your undercover identity and choose to kill the villain, I am Frank." ”
Martin simply brewed and began to perform explosively.
At the end of the performance, Scorsese nodded and only said, "Remember to participate in the audition with makeup for the crew." ”
"Okay." Martin knows very well that he has Scorsese's approval.
Scorsese came over and took the initiative to shake his hand: "That's it for today." ”
Martin took his leave and left.
Scorsese sat back in his chair and thought about it.
There is no doubt that the other party is a young actor who is active and serious about his work, and his acting skills are also good, and he is definitely above the level line he requires.
The only downside is that he is not as famous as Matt Damon.
Alan knocked on the door and asked, "How's the talk?" ”
Scorsese said: "It's better than I expected, he came from the bottom, and he came to BPD to actually experience life, and his acting skills are also passable, which is good." ”
Allen understood him and asked, "Are you hesitating." ”
Scorsese nodded: "Not as famous as Matt Damon." ”
"It's a matter of facts." Alan sat on the sofa chair on the side: "That little guy is working hard for the role, what is Matt Damon doing?" ”
What kind of employees does the boss like? Donkeys who take the initiative to pull the mill!
An old-school director like Scorsese, who also likes actors to prepare their own scenes with all their might, groaned a little and said, "You ask." ”
Allen took out his phone, made a few calls, and said, "Damon is in Los Angeles, ready to stand for the fashion show of Harvey Weinstein's wife. ”
"Investor Dyson Pictures backs Damon." Scorsese is equally greedy, he wants everything.
Alan said: "Damon is almost 35 years old, and his age is different from Colin's setting, so he is more suitable to kill Colin's Ding Genan. ”
Scorsese said: "Great idea. ”
Wouldn't that solve the problem? Investors can also be in place.
Alan quickly went downstairs to his room and made a phone call, but within a few minutes, Mene entered her room.
Early the next morning, a contented Alan solemnly promised Mene that she would give him an important supporting role as long as he was available.
For this role, Allen, as the casting director, can completely call the shots.
Under Mene's new tongue attack, she repeated what she had said to Scorsese last night.
Although the feedback from the veteran director last night was excellent, Martin still continues to experience life with the Special Operations Team as he has done in the past few days.
At noon that day, Mene arrived and informed Martin of the relevant information.
"Thank you for your hard work." Martin looked at Mene's slightly swollen lips: "This time, it's good to have you." ”
Mene wiped his lips: "It's okay, boss, this is what I'm good at, I didn't get anything from licking it before, and this time I got an important supporting role." ”
"We're working together," Martin said. ”
Mei Nei is very compelling: "I don't want to be the protagonist, I can have a stable income, and when I am fifty or sixty years old, I will be content with the corners of Morgan Freeman." ”
Martin said: "You can go back and meet Morgan Freeman on the Wanted crew. ”
As a gold medal supporting actor in Hollywood, the old man has a certain appeal to middle-aged and elderly audiences, and the salary is not high, before Martin came to Boston this time, Louise had already sent an invitation to Morgan Freeman.
Martin Scorsese and others spent a week in Boston before leaving, returning to Los Angeles to continue polishing the characters and script.
During this period, Martin and Scorsese had several more exchanges.
When it comes to the next Oscars, Scorsese strives for excellence, and the film will not start filming until the summer.
Martin has plenty of time to shoot "Wanted" first.
After twenty days of experiencing life at BPD, it was time for Martin to say goodbye and leave.
The Public Relations Office hosted a farewell reception especially for him.
Because Martin had asked them too many times, the guys thought they had to ask them back, not to mention spending public money.
At the reception, Martin clinked glasses with Jack, John and others one by one and drank happily.
All the people who participated in the reception came to take photos with Martin, in case Martin became a big star, they could not only scold Falkey, but also have more bragging capital.
At the end of the reception, Bruce appeared on the stage and brought a memorabilia specially prepared by Martin.
Martin first found the chief of the police department and presented him with a crocodile tooth pendant in a gift box: "A souvenir." ”
The director excused: "How can this be." ”
Martin raised his voice and explained: "This is made from the teeth of a large bay crocodile that I legally hunted when I went to Australia to shoot, and I took it as a testimony to my friendship with BPD. ”
The director took it.
Martin sent out dozens of crocodile tooth pendants in one go.
After the reception, on the car back to the hotel, Martin specifically said to Bruce: "Lao Bu, send a message to the Australian side and ask them to get another batch." ”
No way, there are too many friends, and the pendant is not enough to give.
Martin gave the remaining ones to Mene: "Take them back and send them to friends and family." ”
Back at the hotel, Martin went to bed early because he had drunk a lot of alcohol for socializing.
Bruce and Mene went to the bar below.
The two of them each asked for a beer, drank and chatted.
Bruce fully agreed with Mene: "Man, you've done a great job this time. ”
Mene sighed with emotion: "Before I met you and the boss, I licked I don't know how many old women, but I didn't get anything except a little money, after meeting you and the boss, everything is completely different, I now have a certain fame, and I also have a little money." ”
Bruce clinked glasses with him: "It turns out that people with a skill can live better." ”
Mene couldn't agree more: "I can't count how many old women have gone through to practice the skills that I have come along. ”
Bruce took out a bottle of wind oil essence that Martin had given him and handed it to Mene: "If you encounter the kind of forced you, or go too far, this is the magic medicine to deal with them." ”
Mene unscrewed it and sniffed it, and was about to pour it into his mouth.
Bruce hurriedly grabbed him: "Use it again at the critical moment." ”
"Good!" Mene screwed the cap of the bottle, put it in his pocket, and said, "Paris Hilton has been beating me up since her last premiere, and I guess she may be missing my tongue in addition to the hype." ”
Before, Bruce would have thought Mene was bragging.
Now it feels normal, Kim Kardashian has told him more than once that Paris is not your average wave.
Mene said: "Paris wants to force me without spending money, I will use the magic medicine you sent!" ”
These words reminded Bruce of Kim Kardashian...... 's sister.
Kohler is also very warped!
Bruce quickly shook his head, stopped his cranky thoughts, and scolded Martin at the same time, blaming this rotten man for everything!
The next morning, the three left Boston and took a flight back to Los Angeles.
When I got off the plane and came to the apartment, I didn't see the fat landlord.
Martin inquired with the tenants, and Antonio went to the club party.
The entry condition of that club was 10 years ago that required millions of assets.
When I came to the second floor, the door diagonally opposite opened, and Jessica came out, greeted her first, and said, "Martin, Thomas told me early this morning, you come back and call him." ”
"I see." Martin took out his phone and waited for Lao Bu to open the door and enter the apartment.
The apartment was spotlessly clean and Jessica and Emily, who followed behind, were specially cleaned last night.
Thomas answered and immediately said: "Martin, good news, the crew of "Departed" officially informed me today, on March 22nd, let me go to your studio to bring makeup auditions!" ”
Martin breathed a sigh of relief: "This time has not been in vain. He asked, "What about the competitors?" ”
Thomas said simply: "I specifically asked Louise, she will be the executive producer on the set, and your biggest competitor is Matt Damon, but Scorsese himself is inclined to let him play another important role, the Ding Gonan who killed Colin." ”
