Best Actor

    "That's it, it's getting late, I'm going back too." Martin Scorsese looked at the time, said this to the person he was talking to, and then greeted everyone, including Brian Several people, including Johnson, left.

    Of course, along the way, you have to say hello to familiar people. It took several minutes to get to the door. Just when he asked someone to drive, a voice rang: "Mr. Scorsese!"

    "What's the matter?" Scorsese frowned at the young man who was stopped, "Who are you?"

    "Saunders, Sanders Perler, we met just now, I'm Sean Tang's agent." Ryan Johnson, seems very unhappy with him.

    "If I remember correctly, Sean's agent should be Frederick Rogers?" Scorsese looked him up and down and made a gesture for Johnson to He let go.

     "Yes, that's right, Fred is Sean's agent and I'm the other, or you can think of me as Sean's agent." Sanders stared Glancing at Johnson, he adjusted his collar and bowed politely, "I apologize for bumping into you, but I have something important to talk to you about."

    "I thought enough was said before, even if there is something, can't I wait until tomorrow?" Johnson couldn't help but interject.

     Scorsese glanced at Johnson, didn't say anything, then turned to Sanders: "What's the matter with you? If it's about the audition, I've already said it. It's clear."

    "I just want to talk, Mr. Scorsese, in private, just a few minutes." Sanders said hastily.

    "Sorry, young man, you have to learn one thing, and that is that the world doesn't just revolve around you and your friends." Scorsese shrugged, then looked at Looking at the car coming in the distance, he immediately started to go down the steps.

    This sentence is a bit heavy, but Sanders doesn't care at all, but asks loudly: "Have you seen Sean's video? A video specially made for you?!"

    "Of course I have," Scorsese said without looking back, "I said before, I have read all the information, and I also said that he is a good The actor. If you are a qualified agent, Mr. Perler, you should go to recalibrate and plan the future for him, not to mess with me here."

    "Enough, Mr. Perler, enough," Johnson stopped him again, "If you go on like this, I can only call someone over."

    "You're lying!" Sanders didn't care, still loudly said word by word, "You're lying, Mr. Scorsese, I can be sure of that! Anyone, Anyone who has seen the video made by Sean will not be so indifferent, let alone mention it so lightly!"

    His voice was so powerful that several people who came out of the hall looked at him, and Scorsese finally stopped, turned back and frowned.

    "I'm disappointed, Mr. Scorsese, I'm disappointed." The other went on, with an air of palpable frustration, "We all loved your movies so much, Whether it's "Raging Bull" or "Goodfellas" or "The Age of Innocence", we've seen it again and again. We think that a well-crafted video should at least have some recognition, even if it doesn't get your praise. Sean spent hundreds of thousands on this video, and you make a rash judgment without even looking at it, I'm very, very disappointed."

    After finishing speaking, without waiting for Scorsese to respond, he turned around and left without looking back, leaving only a bleak back.

    "I don't know the so-called guy," Johnson said angrily next to him, then patted Scorsese on the shoulder, "Don't worry about it, Martin, they just want to use aggressive tactics After all, this method is too old-fashioned."

    "You look nervous, Brian." Scorsese looked at his deputy and asked noncommittally.

    "Of course," Johnson spread his hands, "that kid is accusing me of not doing my job well, and this baseless accusation goes too far."

     Scorsese did not speak any more, then got into his car, and closed his eyes all the way, Johnson tried to say something several times, but he endured it again.

    Then, the next day, Scorsese came to his office and summoned several main directors of "The Aviator". The first sentence after coming over was: "Send the last few candidates to Bring me the tapes or DVDs that come, and I'll take another look at their performance."

    "Aren't you serious, Martin?" Johnson asked Scorsese nervously in private.

    "It's not a big deal to take a look, it's better than being told that you don't know anything." Although Scorsese said it in a joking tone, but the words implied The meaning is not so simple.

    Johnson wasn't sure what he was thinking, so he just went about his own business worriedly, and then—

    "Only three people?" Scorsese frowned as he looked at the tapes and DVDs brought by the people in charge.

    "This..." A few people looked at me and I looked at you, and one of them said carefully, "According to your order, we will review it first, and then hand it over to you for observation after it feels good. , because...it's been tried before."

     "Find everything out and hand it over to me." Scorsese said briefly.

    However, the news that followed was not very good, because at least two people's recorded videos disappeared, and one of them was Sean Tang's.

    "After the selection, we didn't care about it, so we put it away after giving an order, so..." Johnson, who was in charge of this piece, spread his hands regretfully.

    "Continue to look for it, it should still be stored somewhere, if you can't find it, let them send another copy, they should have a backup." Scorsese said immediately, also Regardless of Johnson's slight discoloration.

    After that, he found another person in charge and asked in private: "How did you allocate it at the beginning, and who is responsible for reviewing whom?"

    After another half day, finally, under the leadership of Johnson, they found the things, and I don't know who was blocking the bottom grid of a cabinet in the archives. Scorsese didn't say much, just let them out, then turned on the TV in the office alone, and directly picked out Sean's and put it into the player.

    "If you let me down..." he grunted.

    Soon, the screen lit up, and at first glance, Scorsese raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. Inside the picture is a panorama of an office. The whole is dark red, and the airtight curtains cover the surrounding windows tightly, which is visually striking. A man sat sideways on a chair with messy hair, one hand on his pursed mouth and the other on the table. As the camera progresses, you can see that on the fisted hand on the table, the thumb is constantly rubbing up and down the second joint of the index finger, as if it can't stop. The trance look gave a clear sense that he was doing it subconsciously.

    Good! Scorsese praised in his heart, and his eyes brightened a lot.

    At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the picture, and the man in the chair seemed to be awakened, hesitantly stood up and sat down, waiting for the second knock on the door , and then said in a dry tone: "Come in...Come in."

    "Mr. Hughes..." The screen changed, and the person who entered through the door was a chubby old man wearing round glasses. He was a bit cramped at the door, not knowing whether to come in or go out.

    "Just stand there." The man's impatient voice sounded, "Speak."

    The old man was relieved, but immediately became uneasy again: "The investigation committee requires you to be present."

    "I don't accept it!" The man roared immediately, he stood up and waved his arms as if very angry, "There are so many companies in the United States that do not have full contracts, but they are Find me! At least I have a sample, this is a frame up, this is a frame up!"

    "But..." the old man said carefully, "If you don't show up, they will directly sentence you... for breach of contract."

    The man stopped immediately, stared at the camera closely, angry, his eyes were slightly red, and his thumb was rubbing harder on the second joint of his index finger, as if it would explode at any time. But unexpectedly, he didn't roar anymore, just took a deep breath and put on a very explosive stern expression: "Okay, I will attend, I will beat them, I will definitely !"

    Here, the whole video is over, about ten minutes before and after, and Scorsese's first reaction is: great.

      It's in place.

    This part of the plot is obviously based on the story that after the end of World War II, Hughes' airline was questioned by the Senate because it failed to deliver the goods. In Scorsese's conception, this will be the biggest crisis Hughes has faced, although it is not that serious in history, so this delicate and oppressive atmosphere is very to his appetite, coupled with Sean's excellent performance-

    "Is this really that young man?" Scorsese went back and read it again, full of curiosity about Sean for the first time.

    That mature temperament, that introverted and extroverted tension, really makes people unable to see his age. Although there is also a makeup factor, to be able to do this is quite outstanding for a young man who is less than 25 years old and has only been an actor for more than three years.

    "No wonder... Sanders said they spent hundreds of thousands..." Scorsese, who was staring at the screen, murmured, and there was a faint sense of joy in his heart. Feel.

    Then, he thought of something and his face sank. He never thought that such a thing would happen around him. Although he had been faintly aware of it before, he still hoped that it was just his own illusion. It was just an operational error, but now it seems...
