Best Actor

Chapter 103: the other side

    If you have some doubts about your intuition before, then after "Genius Ripley", you can basically determine the level of accuracy. So when Sean felt that "Charlie's Angels" should be very good, and he should not have a lot of scenes, he also thought of taking part.

    Of course, in addition to intuition, he also made some analysis, although now he has become famous and won a lot of reputation with "Genius Ripley", but I am afraid that if you want to get a good role next So easy. Age is an issue after all. If he is still 23 or 24 years old to win the role, it should not be difficult with the current reputation and popularity, but who made him clarify that he is indeed only 19 years old?

    Even if Sean's fame did not decline but rose after appearing on "The Tonight Show", the age of 19 is still a hurdle. Even if the producer and director have the idea of ​​inviting him, as long as they see this age, Many people will stop and think about it. If a slightly older actor with the same excellent acting skills appears at this time, then maybe someone else will be chosen.

    Continue to hide age and don't even think about it, even if it was not exposed by the "New York Post" before, it will be a matter of time, Frederick can modify the file as an actor, but the driver's license and Social Welfare numbers are no way. So you must be prepared with both hands. If you can play a leading role or even an important role in some excellent movies, a supporting role with a chance to play is naturally very good, but if you can't, then it is also good to play a supporting role in some commercial movies with good box office to maintain exposure. Very necessary.

    "Charlie's Angels" is obviously in the latter category, and "Pearl Harbor" recommended by Frederick is definitely not in the former. Sean is a bit vague about this movie, and with his intuition, It doesn't seem so. What's more, even if he didn't watch many movies in his previous life, he still knew that there was no movie that could surpass "Titanic" before James Cameron's next work came out. At the same time, because the "Transformers" live-action movie version knows a little about the director Michael Bay's deeds, the name "Bangbang Bay" is not very pleasant, so think about it carefully or forget it.

    However, after coming to audition for "Charlie's Angels" today, Sean suddenly felt that the previous decision seemed to be a mistake, because there were various signs that Drew seemed to... Talk about a partner.

    To put it a little more clearly, whoever she can see, let whoever joins the crew, like Nicher, Matt, and Sean. That's why the audition seemed so formal, yet it was a farce, and the audition venue didn't even have a casting director.

    As for business value or personal ability, oh, these are of course important, but if Drew doesn't like or looks down on him, he can only replace him. So the crew accompanies her to play and play, constantly selecting actors who have both acting skills and who can make Drew like it. It is no wonder that the actors of this movie are constantly changing, and the script is constantly changing.

    When she thought about how she and Cameron looked like **** in front of her after the audition, if it wasn't intentional, Sean should really cover his forehead.

    I used to think that Drew Barrymore was a very smart and capable woman. She could set up her own production company at the age of 19, and still make money, and she had a vision to buy "Charlie" The film adaptation rights of Angels.

    But now I think, maybe she will, just luck?

    Well, it's possible, but only possible. After all, it is definitely capable of falling down or even getting up after a very painful fall, not to mention that there is a great director godfather, as long as she is willing to work hard, she will definitely be able to help.

    So most likely, she is a little smart and wise, but she is also very arbitrary, very normal, and people are contradictory.

    Thinking about this, Sean was a little relieved. Anyway, the chance of intuition being wrong should be small. What's more, it can also be confirmed with reality. I won't talk about the subject matter. The key is the support of Columbia Pictures.

    The information collected before also said that Drew's production company can get the rights to adapt the TV series, Columbia Pictures has a lot of strength, and the distribution has also been set early by them. With the support of one of the seven major Hollywood film companies, as long as the plot, pictures, and shots are acceptable, the box office should not be a problem, so you can still try it.

    However, just because Sean sees it this way doesn't mean that others see it the same way, such as his agent.

    "You said it yourself, the audition is a farce at all, and their mind is not on the production at all." Frederick said recklessly on the other end of the phone.

    "That's not necessarily, Fred, if they want to make money, the basic quality of the movie still needs to be paid attention to." Sean held the phone and watched as he tried his best to please Polk. Sanders, said in a lazy tone.

    Like Galen when he arrived, Polk was hostile to Sanders, always watching him vigilantly, just like now. If Sanders tried to make out with him, he would whimper, wag his tail and spread his legs in a stance that he was ready to pounce on him at any moment.

    Of course, although it looks mighty, as long as Sanders roars viciously twice, the little thing will immediately hide behind Sean and not come out. In short, it's impossible to expect it to look after the home. I hope it can still call a few words when someone invades at night.

    As for Lucy, oh, Her Royal Highness will not be moved by these things, usually she is either sleeping or squatting on the sofa with her head held high, looking around coldly, as if in Inspect your own subjects.

    If Sanders tried to lure him with cat food or something, he got only a contemptuous glance, and that look, in the words of his previous life, was, "Stupid man, think Can you bribe me?" Or "Untouchables, take your filth away".

    Don't say this, Frederick is still chattering and persuading Sean to give up this idea.

    "Okay, Fred, you also said that the protagonists of this movie are three angels, and I estimate that my roles will only last for a week or two at most, so I won't delay the other. filming," Sean said.

    Perhaps thinking that this may not be enough, he added: "Instead of persuading me to give up this, it is better to get the audition opportunity for "Pearl Harbor" that you promised - well, just How about this."

    …

    "Wait, Sean..." Frederick wanted to say something, but there was already a beep.

     "Damn, why don't you understand, you are a rising star who has attracted much attention, and you actually play a small supporting role in such a movie!" In public places, he might have jumped up.

    Of course, Frederick quickly adjusted. As an agent, this psychological quality is still good. Well, Sean's income is also wrong. Instead of persuading him to give up "Charlie's Angels" now, it is better to audition for "Pearl Harbor" first, and then he will naturally understand which movie is the key.

    After stabilizing his mind, the agent immediately began to look around. He was standing outside a restaurant in Burbank. He had received news earlier that Michael Bay and friends had an appointment for lunch here. He wanted to pretend he was having lunch here too, and then recommend it directly.

    To be frank, I hope that Sean's role in "Pearl Harbor" was an impromptu idea of ​​Frederick, so he was not very prepared. It just so happens that the first audition has already passed. If you join in this way, you will need to go through layers. Several producers don’t have the heart to watch them one by one. In this case, there is an 80% chance of being eliminated directly. Hollywood will never lack excellent actors. .

    In this case, Frederick chose to take the upper-level route, just like the "Genius Ripley" before.

    Only, among several producers, Randall Wallace is only a screenwriter, and his power is not very large. Jerry Bruckheimer knows it, but he is not in Los Angeles at the moment, come over from Disney Producers Kenny Bates and Bruce Hendrick were completely unfamiliar, so Frederick turned his attention to Michael Bay.

    He had several encounters with the director who was born in MV. When Michael Bay directed his debut film "Jedi Men", Frederick recommended his client, but unfortunately he did not negotiate. But a few years later, he successfully pushed a client into the crew of "Brave Island" and played one of the last two mercenaries. Unfortunately, the guy fired him after the movie was over. Lost.

    However, Frederick still had some relationship with Bay because of this, and he would say hello when they met on different occasions, so he now wants to use him to fight for a chance for Sean.

    It's just that a lot of times when he's busy, things will go wrong, just like Frederick is now, he ran to the restaurant only to find that he was alone. Generally speaking, in the United States, although no one is eating alone in a restaurant, if others see it, most of them will say in their hearts: Freak. Secondly, a person came here to dine, and then met Michael Bay, it seemed like a plan, even if you want to recommend someone, don't do it so deliberately, right?

    So Frederick just wandered outside and pretended to be on the phone—not exactly, he had called Sean before, and now he's calling someone else.

    "Hey Jason, you said Mike would have lunch at the Meteorite Restaurant on 78th Street, why haven't I seen him yet!" The agent asked in a low voice.

    "I'm just saying it's possible, Fred, it's not up to me to decide where they're going to eat, maybe they change their minds and want a different place? And that's all I've heard. ' A helpless voice came from there.

    "Damn, what the hell." Frederick couldn't help but cover his forehead, just when he felt that he was going to fail today, a woman came out of the restaurant.

    It was a woman in her fifties, with long straight black hair, deep eye sockets, and slightly high cheekbones, but she could still tell that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.

    It only took a few seconds for Frederick to make a decision, then a few steps to catch up with each other: "Hi Bonnie, Bonnie Timmerman, remember me ?"

    Seeing the suspicious look on the other side, he further patted his chest to introduce himself: "Fred, Frederick Rogers, we met at the ABC reception."

    "Yes, Fred, that progressive agent." The other party immediately thought, "Is something wrong?"

    "That's right, I originally invited someone to lunch, but unfortunately, he let me dove, so I had to leave without even going in the restaurant door." Frederick opened his mouth and said: Come, "Then I saw you, and I thought, since there's always something to gain from what comes out, so—you're the casting director of Pearl Harbor, right?"

    “So you want to…” Bonnie laughed.

    "I want to recommend my client, Sean Tang." Frederick nodded.
