Best Actor

    Relying on Sanders' hard work, Sean finally got his wish to get the role of "The Aviator". As for the contract, it's all side-by-side, on the premise that both parties are interested Come on, this is very negotiable.

    Of course, Frederick was dissatisfied as always: "6 million, only 6 million, when did Scorsese become so stingy, you know, you are in "Cold Mountain" They got paid 8 million, and I bet that if they got Brad Pitt, they would have paid at least 10 million! Damn, it is said that the investment has already exceeded 100 million, but they don't even want to give the extra pay. ."

    Sean just smiled at this, he is not Brad Pitt, nor Leonardo DiCaprio, nor has he worked with Scorsese, Definitely not getting the highest pay. Generally speaking, as long as you haven't reached the status of a superstar, working with a big director like Scorsese is out of respect - well, in other words, if you can be a human being, you will reduce the salary to some extent, and some have a certain reputation. Actors can even pay tens of thousands of dollars for a supporting role.

      The salary of 6 million, 600,000 is enough to wake him up from his dream, but now he does not make money entirely from the salary.

    However, Frederick needs, the 6 million salary means he can only get 600,000, which is 200,000 less than the income of "Cold Mountain", which is too bad. However, Sean knew that only a small part of his dissatisfaction came from the salary, and more because Sanders officially became Sean's agent.

    "I don't understand, Sean, why do you need an agent, am I not doing well enough? You know, after adding an agent, you will have to pay 10% more in the future The commission, which was only 10% in the past, will be paid out 20% in the future." After Sean told Frederick of the decision, he half-truthed and questioned.

    "It's very simple, I hope you can be my manager forever." Sean blocked him back with such a sentence.

    It's very simple. Before that, when there was no agent, the contact with public relations, the communication with various media, as well as image creation, suppression or creation of scandals were all done by Frederick Yes, these are rights. With the agent, Sanders is responsible for all these, and Frederick only serves for Sean's film affairs, so his mood is understandable.

    But understanding is understanding, Sean will not change his mind, as he said, in addition to making his career more standardized, it is indeed for Frederick's good. The interests of clients and brokers cannot always be aligned, so it is necessary to prevent brokers from sacrificing clients for their own interests. Frederick and Sean have been very good along the way, and they are quite happy to cooperate with each other. If there is a fallout over this matter, it would be too much of a loss.

    Therefore, it is necessary to decentralize. Sean understood this from the beginning, so he called Sanders from San Francisco. Now that he has proved himself and is independent, it is natural to start. Of course, the duties of brokers and agents overlap in part, but more of them have their own strengths, and even if they overlap, there are two different opinions alternating. Maybe it can be done better.

    Let's not mention Frederick's grievances for now. After signing the movie contract, Sean quickly got the script, further communicated with Scorsese, and immediately began to target Figure out the role. Howard Hughes in the script is a little different from what Sean imagined. The focus of the story is on him making planes, flying planes, and fighting with Pan Am president Juan Tripp. This is no problem, after all, the name is directly It's called "The Aviator", and there is also a super-large aircraft such as the Spruce Goose whose wingspan record has not been broken so far. It's strange that the main line is not this.

      After making public appearances and using his influence after the end of World War II, he asked Congress to set up an investigative committee and asked Hughes to appear in court, in order to defeat him in one fell swoop.

      Tripp pushed behind. Of course, for the drama of the film, this modification is possible, and the biographical film is not a documentary at this time.

    Back to cleanliness, in most cases, this is just a detail to show the characteristics of the protagonist, just like the way his mother told Hughes to be careful of cholera at the beginning to explain his cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder The reason makes no difference. As for those lace scandals, I only focused on Katharine Hepburn and Ava Gardner to show, well, and Katharine Hepburn is one of the few loves in Hughes's life, and of course they should be eligible to appear on the screen, It's just Ava Gardner...well, for the sake of her being the only woman who knocked out Hughes' teeth, it's okay to join her.

    Only, since Hughes came to Hollywood and spent millions of production "Hell's Angels" has a detailed mention, then the first actress Jane Ha However, Lu only mentioned it briefly, which is a bit wrong, isn't it?

    But then again, Sean is just an actor, and this is the work of the screenwriter and director, and the title of the film is "The Aviator", it is definitely impossible to take the **** scandal as the main line, there must be choice.

    "If people are going to make my biographical film in the future, I certainly don't want anyone to focus entirely on the name Playboy." Sean sometimes thinks so.

    Well, let’s not say whether he is qualified to make biopics for him in the future, even if he is, as long as he is still alive, the audience and the media will still focus on the name Playboy on the head. If you want them to say good things, that is the treatment of dead people. Just like "The Aviator", many details are different from the facts, but this does not prevent the screenwriter from describing it like this.

    However, if Hughes was still alive, or even young, the media and audience would only pay more attention to his gossip.

    This is Sean's personal experience, look at those guys, their eyes will only focus on who he has been dating before, who is dating now, and who will be dating in the future. As for his efforts, just like now he has read a lot of materials for the role of Hughes, read books he looked at, and learned a lot of etiquette in the 1940s and 1950s. I imitated the way people spoke at that time, practiced a southern accent for a long time, and spent hundreds of thousands to make a ten-minute video for Scorsese.

      's suggestion. As an actor, as an excellent actor, these are all necessary homework. Although Sean has various shortcomings, good women are even more serious problems, but this has never been pulled down.

    However, the media can't see these, even if they do, they will ignore it. Report that you are working hard? please, anyone watching? Who doesn't work hard? It makes sense to let those readers who only like gossip and feel good when they read it, buy newspapers, buy magazines and click on the website. Who cares if you work hard?

    Indeed, this is a fact, but even if he told these people painstakingly, it would be unfair if you only saw me dating a woman and didn't see me working hard. They will also only answer, who made you not show it, or who made you have an affair with so many women, and who else worked harder than you, what did others do for which character, etc. They always have excuses anyway.

    So Sean doesn't bother to care so much, just do his own thing, and it's not that no one supports him, so let's focus on trying to figure out Howard Hughes in "The Aviator" . Although the rest of the script is different from the real Hughes, it is also different from what Sean imagined, but most of it is the same, but some details need to be revised.

    For example, Sean himself designed a knuckle rub for Hughes, showing the details of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but in the script, he constantly washed his hands with well-preserved soap to highlight his cleanliness, There was even a scene where Hughes came out of the bathroom and washed his hands with soap, his hands were wet and didn't know what to do, but he just stared at the public towel on the sink in a daze.

    Although there are not many descriptions in the script, Sean can completely outline the scene in his mind, which makes him a little sad, because the emotion of rubbing his knuckles must be applied to washing hands. , but also more deeply.

    In addition, Scorsese made a lot of demands on him, one of which was to practice piloting an airplane.

    Well, this was a mistake Sean made when he first tried to figure out the character. He said that the title of the film is called "The Aviator", so it must be the main line of Hughes making and flying the plane. He was bound to be filmed on the plane, and there were close-ups of him driving into the air. Although it must be done in a studio with green or blue curtains, it will not really fly, but he must have some experience in flying a plane, otherwise he will perform well in other places, but not on this one. Feeling, that's not good.

    "It doesn't matter, it's just flying a plane." Sean didn't mind at all, and quickly contacted a flying club to Sanders as an agent.

      Have to wait until July to go, enough time.

      Just do it.
