Best Actor

Vol 2 Chapter 82: seniority issues

    "Eleven Arhats" is basically a male drama, with only one main female role from beginning to end, which is the ex-wife of Danny Ocean played by Clooney. In a sense, the character is a vase, and it doesn't matter which actress comes in. However, considering that she was the reason for the whole thing, and to match her own identity, Clooney, as a producer, invited Julia Roberts, the most popular actress in Hollywood, to come over.

    From this point of view, Clooney is actually very narcissistic, no wonder, he is indeed a very attractive middle-aged man, even Sean admits so, full of mature and stable temperament, where to go Station, there will be many women want to chat with him. Of course, it is also possible to become popular with him very late, but it has a certain relationship with the degree of popularity, so it is normal to want to invite actresses who are worthy of him.

    But that's not the point, the point is, he only paid Julia $20!

    It is said that, according to Brad Pitt, Clooney called Julia and said that there was a role that would suit her, and then Julia asked how much Clooney was paid, and he answered 20. Generally speaking, anyone in Julia's position would think it was 20 million dollars—in English, after the number goes up to the thousand, the proper unit noun is a three-digit number, such as million ) and one billion (billion).

    Who knows, after she agreed, Clooney actually only sent a check for $20, so it is no wonder that she happened to meet him when she came and went back to the set, so she asked him to give a explain.

    Of course, the real salary can't be only 20 dollars, just like Clooney and Pitt, although they cut their salary, they still took two or three million. But it won't be too high, just like Clooney and Pitt, although they both cut their salaries, they still took two or three million.

    She should have a very good relationship with Clooney, otherwise the latter would not make such a joke, plus Soderbergh directed, she agreed. To say that Julia is most grateful now, it should be Steven Soderbergh, who directed the semi-biographical film called "Never Compromise" based on a true story, which was released early last year. Afterwards, this 50 million-dollar film not only earned 200 million box office worldwide, but also earned her a Best Actress nomination at the beginning of this year!

    Not only that, most of the media praised her performance in the movie unanimously, and believed that she was very likely to win this year's Oscar for best actress.

    "It's hard to say, the odds seem high, but...life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like." Julia, who was asked about this, used "Forrest Gump" The classic lines of "True Story" left a suspense, but like Soderbergh, she was very humble in her mouth, and the smile on her face was still obviously proud.

    You know, this is the Oscar, the highest award in the American film industry and art, who doesn't want to take it? What's more, Soderbergh has won two best film nominations, two best director nominations, and two acting award nominations with two films very strongly. In this rare situation in decades, The film school has to say how much.

    What's more, it took Julia almost ten years from the early 1990s to the present to build herself into a representative figure of American women, coupled with the subject matter and quality of the film, the post-titled Possibly really very high.

    To be frank, she is not beautiful, but she belongs to the kind of woman with great taste, she is a typical American woman, warm, cheerful, straightforward, generally say what she thinks, and speaks to many things She doesn't care, but she doesn't have the expression of "come and worship me" written on her face like the average American girl, with a vaguely contradictory and restrained temperament, so it is no wonder that many people are fascinated by her.

    With the arrival of Julia, her role is also on the agenda, and Sean happens to have a scene with her.

    In a very short scene, Linus played by Sean followed Benedict played by Garcia to find out his whereabouts, habits and preferences. Then, one day when Pitt (played by Ryan) asks him how it turned out in the casino lobby, he introduces Benedict's current girlfriend as he tells it.

    So, in the camera, Julia in a red dress walked downstairs, and at a glance she recognized her as Ocean's ex-wife Tess Ryan, hurried in Linus's voice Keep your head back to prevent detection.

    "And then, Ocean and Ryan argued about this and got mutual understanding, but, Lynas' performance seemed unsatisfactory, so they decided to play a show, Inspire this young man, and when Olson appears above the elevator shaft, Linus is half-dead." Over lunch, Sean tells the story that follows.

    "This is too normal, there are old hands bullying newbies everywhere." Julia laughed.

    "I have to make it clear that this is definitely not bullying, this is motivating, and from a story perspective, this is a move that can't go wrong, especially the character of Lynas." Rooney wiped the corner of his mouth gracefully.

    "That's right, Linus' status is related to the success or failure of the entire operation," Pete echoed, and winked at Sean again, "Right, Sean ?"

    Sean glanced at Soderbergh, who was sitting next to him, who was concentrating on the food on the plate, as if he didn't hear anything, so he shrugged helplessly: "Yes ."

    Julia laughed again when she saw it.

    "You're funny, Sean, and...cute." She then said, "No wonder a lot of people like it."

    Speaking of the last sentence, Julia's smile was a little special, as if she knew something.

    "That's right, in ten years, he'll be who I am now." Clooney said immediately.

    "Why Sean will be you in ten years and not me now?" Pete asked.

    The two seem to be teasing Sean, but on the other hand, they are protecting him, well, if they get along for a long time, they are actually pretty good.

    Clooney is a little narcissistic, and he is quite protective of his friends and himself, and Pete, if he doesn't wear tinted glasses because of Jennifer, is also a very interesting guy, for example Very quick to pick up **** jokes. Sean is good at getting along with people, so in this team, as long as it is not for some reasons, he is not pleasing to the eye, he can basically gain some goodwill.

    The so-called individual reasons, that is, like Carl Affleck, because his brother and Sean did not deal with it, and in addition, Don Cheadle is also very awkward, and His reasons are a little funny.

    As I said before, because "Eleven Arhats" needs many powerful and famous actors, the salary alone is a big expense, so Clooney took the initiative to reduce his salary. , in order to lower everyone's pay. Although this move is a bit inauthentic, after all, for a big name like him, although the salary is low, he will definitely get dividends, but the effect is still there, especially after gathering a lot of powerful actors, many people still want to join.

    But the problem is that although some people agree, they may not be able to accept the salary figure. Cheadle is the best example.

    "This number is embarrassing." It is said that Cheadle complained more than once in private.

      The same treatment, unfortunately, was rejected.

    Sean received a fixed salary of 1 million, no dividends and others, so Cheadle will definitely not exceed this. For an actor who is almost forty years old, this is definitely not a happy thing. Therefore, Cheadle was quite unhappy with him. Who made him the youngest person in the crew after only two years of being an actor? Even if he has an Oscar nomination.

    The role of seniority is undoubtedly revealed here. If Sean has more than five years of acting experience, no matter how unwilling Cheadle is, he will not show the appearance of targeting him.

    Interesting, although this is usually the case, but when you go to the casino, you don't care about anything. A group of people are shouting and playing, their eyes are fixed on the chips, and they are arguing about a little gambling money. Clooney and Pete are already quite reserved, and when they win or lose money, they still can't help lamenting or laughing.

    But Clooney is basically losing, winning very rarely, and no matter what. And Pete wins most of the time, and loses very rarely. It's the same no matter what he plays. It really makes people wonder if they are colluding.

    "How come, do I look like that kind of person?" Clooney replied in a lazy tone to everyone's inquiries.

    "I'm not lucky, I'm not skilled, so I started to find other excuses?" Pete smiled wickedly.

     There is Pete. But after Clooney joined, he even broke three or four games, and all of them let Pete win, how could there be such a coincidence?

    So, to say that they didn't play tricks, it's definitely impossible. Before any magic is dismantled, it looks very magical and incredible, but unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, no one found them What the **** are you playing.

    Of course, Clooney and Pitt did not go too far. Everyone still played two games together from time to time after filming, and then argued over gambling money. And Julia was even more lively after joining in. She usually played a little bit heroically at the gambling table, especially after drinking some wine, her voice became a little higher.

    In addition, he likes to catch people everywhere, Clooney is not immune, and Sean, as the youngest and youngest in the crew - can't go to the casino often - will be caught every time She grabbed a few bets. In the end, her gambling products are pretty good, winning means winning, losing means losing, never being rude, good luck Sean is also happy to bet with her twice from time to time, so...
