Best Actor

    "At the very beginning, someone asked me that the original film was not pleasing, so why should it be remade? My answer is, if the original is a classic production, is there a need for a villain? Only those works that have good intentions but are not handled properly are suitable for remakes." Said the middle-aged man in his thirties sitting on the sofa.

    He was bareheaded, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with a gentle smile on his face, dressed casually, but looked very energetic.

    This is Steven Soderbergh, the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, although there are not many well-known works after "Sex, Lies and Videotape", but Released earlier this year, "Never Compromise" starring Julia Robert surprised many. This low-cost and somewhat literary work was quite popular. Not only did it stay at the top of the box office charts for several weeks in the off-season, but its reputation was also surprisingly good, making Julia, who was already very popular, even more popular. sought after, and was praised by many film critics for his excellent acting.

    He recently got a script, which is a remake of an old movie in the 1960s. It makes me excited, but also a little scared, excited because under the description of the script, this entertainment film is almost perfect, it can meet everything you want, and scared because this film surpasses my previous works."

    So, Soderbergh agreed and started to select actors. As a group play, even if the roles still have primary and secondary points, each role has a certain role and cannot be casually After picking things up, Soderbergh found Sean, the young man who had met and chatted at Vanity Fair's Oscar night party.

    "I originally liked another actor, but Steven thinks you are very good, so I decided to invite you over to talk, I hope you don't mind." Talking with a few people in front of the bar in the room Some middle-aged man came over. He looked a little older than Soderbergh, but in a suit and leather shoes, with a mellow old man's temperament, I believe he must have fascinated many women.

    "Thank you very much, then I can ask, what did Steven like about me?" Sean, who had been listening since entering the door, smiled slightly, and finally said a complete sentence.

      But I know you're a hard-working young man, even though we only talked for a few minutes at the party."

     Said he was comfortable with a slack: "Of course, this is not enough for me to consider you in this movie, but the actor who was originally scheduled to withdraw from the crew because of something, we Had to re-choose, in this case a report about "Sniper Phone Booth" aroused my curiosity, I u know if you read "New Republic", they seem to be not very optimistic about you, think the age of the characters and your The actual age difference is too great."

    "Although I haven't seen it, I can basically imagine it." Sean shrugged, helplessly just right.

    The two in front of them couldn't help but laugh.

    "So I found time to find Matthew Libatic and get to know him a little bit - you should know him?" Soderbergh immediately added.

    "Yes, Matthew, your photography skills are excellent." Sean nodded.

    Of course he knows this person, the crew of "Sniper Phone Booth" is not large, and the photographer Matthew Libatik is of Asian descent, basically at a glance. However, the relationship with each other can only be regarded as normal. Libatik doesn't seem to like when others say that he is of Asian descent. In addition, he is of Filipino descent. Sean didn't know at first, and greeted him in Chinese. .

    However, I didn't expect this guy to actually know Soderbergh, whether it was a acquaintance or a nod acquaintance, if he said a good word to get him this role, Sean would not mind thanking him.

    "He thinks you're... um... peculiar, that's the word he uses," Soderbergh cocked his lips, as if amused, "he said, your mental age is much older than His actual age, and as long as you need to, you can make people invisible. I deliberately watched a little "Sniper Phone Booth" for this reason, and I have to admit that he has a certain point. "

    "Really?" Sean raised his eyebrows, looking surprised, but just like the helplessness before, he acted just right.

    Through Frederick, he already somewhat understood what kind of movie the other party was going to make. Naturally, he had to be more mature and not humiliated.

    "I want to say, I'm flattered to be praised by you." Sean said this immediately.

    "Anyway, I really hope you can audition, but..." He turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man next to him.

    I thought he would object, but unexpectedly shrugged: "I have no opinion."

    "Oh?" Soderbergh was surprised, "You don't think..."

    "Yes, but when I talked to Wahlberg on the phone, he also thought Sean was more suitable, and through him I also found out that I met an acquaintance." The other side shrugged Shrug.

    "Do you need me to call him up?" Sean said immediately, "He's just outside the hotel."

     "Forget it," the middle-aged man laughed, "I don't think he is mentally prepared to meet me."

    "Hey, George Clooney, how many times have I told you, don't say things in front of me that I don't understand." Soderbergh immediately exclaimed.

    Yes, this charming middle-aged man with Soderbergh, it is through "The Story of the Emergency Room" that became popular and starred in "Batman and Robin" In 1997, he was voted People Magazine's Sexiest Man in the World, and Frederick briefly represented George Clooney.

    "That's right, Sean's agent, he briefly represented me in the early 1990s." Clooney explained briefly, "A very energetic young man, unfortunately not suitable for me ."

    He didn't seem to want to talk more, Soderbergh didn't ask any more, just said: "So, our opinions are unified?"

    "Unified." Clooney nodded.

    "Very well," Soderbergh turned, "so, can you come over to audition tomorrow, Sean?"

    "No problem." Sean nodded.

    Get out of the hotel, quickly turn into the next street, and a few steps to a silver-gray car, Sean opened the door and sat in, the person in the driver's seat did not speak, just glanced at him.

    "It should be no problem." Sean replied with a smile, although he just came out to chat today, but looking at the reactions of Soderbergh and Clooney, we knew that the audition was just a passing scene.

    "Did you call Clooney?" he asked immediately, with a narrow smile.

    "...if you can get it," Frederick looked listless, "but you have to be mentally prepared, the pay may not be too high."

    "Oh?" Sean was surprised, "Why?"

    "Because there are more than ten main characters, the budget for the remuneration alone is a large amount, not to mention the fact that we have to go to Las Vegas to film the scene. If the remuneration is not reduced, the film will not be The law was filmed, so both George and Brad took the initiative to reduce their pay to set an example." The agent shrugged.

    "Really?" Sean touched his chin, "But there should be a clause for sharing."

    "You expect to share?" Frederick sneered.

    "At least Clooney and Pete will get a share." Sean sighed, "So, how much did Clooney get paid?"

    "How do I know," Frederick rolled his eyes, "Generally, actors who get paid too high or too low will sign a non-disclosure agreement with the crew to prevent it from spreading bad influence."

    "You must know, Fred," Shawn chuckled, "is there anything you can't do? Tell me quickly."

    "Okay okay," the agent scratched his head angrily, "I heard from Mark that George's salary should not exceed 2 million."

    "Wow, that's really low enough, so can I ask for 1 million?" Sean rubbed his chin.

    "I will try my best." Frederick replied, he didn't know, what he meant to say was not this.

    "It looks like you did call Clooney." Sean showed a narrow smile again.

    Frederick was stunned for a moment, looking a little dissatisfied at him, but in the end he just sighed: "Well, I just conveyed a few words through Mark."

    After a moment of silence, Sean reached out and patted the agent on the shoulder: "Thank you, Fred."

    He originally wanted to take this opportunity to continue to ask about the gossip between Frederick and Clooney, but looking at him now, I am afraid that no matter how he asks, he will not say anything Well, so I gave up.

    "Anyway, this is a big production, right?" Sean immediately asked.

    Frederick sighed, then laughed, and answered in the affirmative: "Forget it!"

    If there are three popular actors starring, it is a movie with a total remuneration investment of more than 100 million. It is not a big production, then there is no big production. So Sean is very happy to get a role in it. For this movie, "Eleven Arhats", he still has some impressions.

      A good deal. The salary may be lower, and it is even more difficult to divide it, but if there is still a sequel, he firmly believes that he will never be excluded at that time.

    As for Brad Pitt, he shouldn't know about his and Jennifer's... um... business, not to mention they broke up long ago, so nothing will happen.

    However, Sean didn't want to give up on the other movie, so when Frederick started the engine and was about to leave here, he opened his mouth and asked: "So, what about the Fast and the Furious? "
