Best Actor

    "No no no, I don't think it's appropriate, the movie would be too long to include it all." Christopher Nolan stepped aside and shook his head like a rattle .

    "Since you are going to put my life on the screen, of course, it is a full-scale presentation, not just one or two key points, which doesn't explain anything at all." Sean said loudly He was limping behind him with a cane, clenching his fists and waving it constantly, as if he had a mania, but if he listened carefully, it would give people a feeling of excitement and contagion.

    Christopher took a deep breath, looked at the man standing in front of him, followed from the door to the floor-to-ceiling window and then to this side, Sean who did not give in, suddenly burst out laughing: "Okay, Sean, relax, that's enough, I admit your acting is excellent, okay?"

    "You didn't say that word." Sean shook his head solemnly.

    "That word?" Christopher wondered.

    "Yes, that word," Sean repeated sternly, "you have to shout that word, it's a rule, it's a must!"

    He stared at him and said heavily, while pinching his fingers irritably, looking like he had an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

    "Cut!" Christopher, who finally reacted, shouted with a smile, and then Sean blinked, and after a few seconds, he stood beside him as if he had been cut off. He sat down on the sofa and let out a long breath.

    "Hell, I never thought it would be so hard... Honestly, Krystal, if you didn't say 'Cut', I might actually be on the ground." Sean said While unbuttoning his shirt, fine beads of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead.

    Obviously, it has been more than ten minutes since he entered the room. In order to maintain this state of being in the play, he has spent a lot of energy-of course, the effect is also very good.

    So Christopher did not hesitate to praise his words: "It's wonderful, Sean, it's really wonderful, although the image of Howard Hughes you figured out is different from what I have in mind. , but I still have to say that your efforts are admirable."

    "Really?" Sean, who was still breathing, was slightly disappointed, "It's still different."

    "You've done a great job, Sean, I'm sure Emma and Jonathan agree with me, don't they?" Christo turned to look at his wife who was sitting on the other side and brother.

    "I have a question, Sean," Jonathan pointed to Sean's cane beside him, "did you study it on purpose?"

    "Yes," Shawn nodded, "I've been watching the tape over and over again, imitating how people with bad legs walk—you know I can't go out and observe in public right now."

    This sentence immediately made everyone present laugh.

    "I also have to admit, you did a great job, Sean." Emma also clapped her hands in agreement, and then half-jokingly said to her husband: "Congratulations, Christo, you already have a loyal fan who can pay for you?"

     Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief here, and then pretended to be relaxed and asked, "So, are you still considering Jim Carrey now?"

    Christopher and his wife and brother plan to make a film about the legendary Howard Hughes of the 1940s and 1950s, which Sean did two weeks before the Oscars The first message he got at a party at Nolan's house; he was going to invite Jim Carrey to play Hughes, and this was the second message Sean got a few days after the party.

    The first one is not so bad, but the second one is too nonsense, especially after Sean learns about Hughes' life.

    "If you've seen The Man on the Moon, you know that Kim is a great actor," Christopher explained.

    "Do you think that when his face appears on the screen, the audience's first reaction is what will come next, or control their desire to laugh?" This is Sean's rhetorical question.

      ” and “The Detective Airplane Head” have also been seen. A person can play both the nonsensical and crazy comedy role, and he can also play a serious drama role, and his acting skills are naturally quite high.

    But the problem is that not everyone will interpret it from this angle, and the audience's first reaction when they see Jim Carrey must be that this is a comedy.

    The reason why Oscar discriminates against comedians, in addition to their own prejudice, is a big factor, the image of comedians is fixed and difficult to change is also one of them. Frankly speaking, it is more difficult for comedians to change their consistent image in the characters than idol actors. Idol actors can also change their fixed appearance in people's hearts by self-destructing their images. Makes it more funny.

    Chaplin's comedy is known as laughing with tears, but in the end he played a comedy role for almost a lifetime, so if Christopher let Jim Carrey play the legendary Howard Hughes , the box office and word of mouth are not guaranteed.

    Of course, Sean admitted that he would object to Jim Carrey's real inappropriateness, but also some selfishness - after that day, he began to prepare for the role. Sean collected a lot of information about Hughes and tried his best to think about what kind of person he was. In addition to practicing lame walking, he also tried his best to imitate the southern accent, because Hughes was born in Houston, and he didn't even say hello at the end. , dress up like a person in the 1940s and 1950s, and come to the door to show his efforts in a surprising way.

    Sean can't remember if Christopher ever made a biographical film about Hughes, but because of the trust in him in the last life, he couldn't pass up any chance to be the protagonist of his film . But more importantly, he liked Howard Hughes very much. After reading about the other person's life, he found that this guy was the hero of the novels he had read in his previous life.

    Can build and fly planes, run companies, make movies, and make women. It is said that among the female stars of the golden age of Hollywood, only a few escaped from him. At most, there are dozens of locations where he hides in the Golden House in Los Angeles. It is indeed a legend that a man can do this, and it is no wonder that he is almost a household name in the United States, making countless people envious and jealous.

    If the life of such an outstanding person is made into a movie, as long as the quality is good enough, there will be no shortage of box office and word of mouth. Although Sean felt that he couldn't get to know him, it would be very good if he could play his whole life, or a part of his life, in the movie.

    So he spent so much time trying to impress Christopher. In Hollywood, you need to be ingenious to get a role, and the facts have proved that he did nothing wrong. only…

    Christopher and Emma exchanged glances, and then showed a wry smile: "Frankly, Sean, I appreciate your seriousness and the character traits you can show without a script It fits a lot with my vision, and I think you have the ability to portray a different Howard Hughes, but...sadly, we can't make this movie."

    "Can't make it? Why?" Sean, who was very happy, was stunned.

    "That's right," Emma explained next to her, "In the beginning, another producer approached us and wanted to make a biography of Howard Hughes, but after the discussion, we were ready to invest It was only after the project was approved that I found out that there was already a project for the same movie.”

    "The same movie project? You mean, someone else is also preparing to make a Howard Hughes biopic?" Sean asked immediately.

    "Yes," Christopher sighed, "it's Martin Scorsese, who is said to have made a Hughes movie very early on."

    "Martin Scorsese?" Sean looked at him blankly, as if he didn't know who this person was.

    "Unfortunately, he's one step ahead of me, we just need to find another subject." Christopher sighed and made an apologetic gesture.

    Sean covered his face and rubbed it, then lifted it up after a while, looking at him angrily: "You should have told me earlier, Christo, you know I have to get dressed, How much courage does it take to do this? Many people pointed at me on the way, as if they saw an old antique, Galen and the others had to explain, I'm just someone who likes to dress up as a movie character on the Walk of Fame guy."

    "I apologize again, Sean," Christopher raised his hands, "Trust me, I didn't mean it, it's just that you're so good, I really want to see what you can do After all, you're a very good actor."

    "It's a pity that it's useless now," Sean raised his hands in a pretentious manner, but soon smiled again, "It's okay, if you lose it, you will lose it, maybe it's a good thing, It's good to have you, Crystal."

    He stood up and waved his hand greatly: "Since this is the case, I will leave, and I will cooperate if there is a chance in the future."

    "No problem, I'm looking forward to it, Sean, your performance today has opened my eyes." Christopher said something nice, then exchanged a look with his wife, and got a positive look from the latter Then got closer.

    "It won't be long." He said to Sean in a low voice.

    "Oh?" Sean was surprised and puzzled.

    "Emma has a new idea, and I've reached out to some interested people," Christopher said, "I'm sorry I can't be very clear, but I think it should be in a few months. There are results."

    "No problem, Christo," Sean agreed immediately, "I'll wait for you."

    He stretched out his fist and touched Christopher, and said goodbye to Emma and Jonathan, and then left their house with Galen and Sanders.

    "What a pity." Sanders said after getting out of the car.

    "Really?" Sean smiled, looking ahead as if thinking, "Sandy, inform Fred and ask him if he can get in touch with Martin Scorsese. "
