Best Actor

Vol 2 Chapter 277: Give it a go with the trailer

    “Prostitutes can be varied and eccentric to make jokes.”

    "And his friends have some good-sounding ideas that are actually terrible."

    "Every bad idea starts out like a good idea."

    "That's right, for example...The male protagonist finally met a person he liked, but agreed to a sexless love with the other person?"

    Seeing Apatow and Karel exchanging opinions with excitement, Sean couldn't help but smile at this moment, he just thought Karel 's idea had some potential to be made into a movie, but as they discussed it, the more they heard, the more intuitive it became that it was a promising idea.

    "Okay Judd, Steve, I'll admit it's an interesting idea, but if you can, please wait a minute or find a chance to discuss it tomorrow? It's party time! ' Sean said at this time.

    The two people who were having a heated discussion finally stopped and looked at everyone sitting, feeling a little embarrassed.

    Then, Apatow looked at Sean thinking of something, hesitated and then asked tentatively: "Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow, Sean, if you are interested, How about a chat?"

    I have to say that he is very good at taking chances. After all, among the bunch of people here, only Sean has his own production company and has made a lot of good movies. If he can be recruited , even a simple promise is a huge boost.

    Sean also knew this, and naturally planned to sell it, but just as he was about to speak, his brows wrinkled.

    Apatow, who originally had an expectant look, was a little nervous when he saw his appearance. Speaking of which, he is more than ten years older than him, and he has seen great winds and waves. At the beginning, his well-received TV series was cut, and he put these praises in an envelope and sent it to the top of the TV station, although the letter was rejected by the agent. Cut off, but this matter is still widely circulated in the circle, which shows what his character is.

    But because of this move, he was suppressed. In addition to his poor health, he did not have good works for seven or eight years in a row. The only luck was to meet a good woman. Even so, it will not make his career improve significantly. If he is not lucky to participate in the production of "Ace Announcer" this time, I don't know what will happen in the future, and this is all based on "Ace Announcer". on a box-office basis.

    If it weren't for these experiences, how could Apatow care so much about the opinion of a junior now? It's kind of sad, but it's the reality.

    "I'm sorry, Judd, you know, I've been running back and forth between the two movies recently, and I'm a little bit nervous, so I probably won't be able to participate in your discussions." Sean said first.

    Although Apatow was calm on the surface, he sighed in his heart, but before he could react, Sean's voice rang again: "So, as long as the budget does not exceed 20 million , I can make a direct call."

    "It's okay, I can understand...what are you talking about?!" Apatow, who was about to say a few polite words, opened his eyes involuntarily after reacting.

    "I said, as long as the budget does not exceed 20 million, I can directly decide, if it exceeds, I will take it to the company to discuss," Sean repeated, "For you , Estimating a rough budget is not difficult, right?"

    "Yes...Yes, but the script has not yet..." Apatow stammered, he had seen many investors, but it was the first time he had seen such a bold.

    "So you have to write the script as soon as possible and let me see it," Sean waved his hand, a look of disapproval, "By the way, I still have conditions, I hope you come Directing, then starring Steve, and giving Seth a proper role."

    "I'm going to direct? Are you sure?" Apatow took a deep breath. Although he had directed some TV dramas and movies before, they were basically co-directors. His main label Also a writer and producer. Now Sean asks him to direct by name, even if his qualifications in the circle are still a little shallow, but after all, he has seen so many movies, which is also a kind of affirmation of his ability.

    Career and Seth also opened their eyes, the latter did not say anything, not only has a good relationship with Sean, but also was recommended to audition for a big production, asking Apatow for a role Very normal. But the former is different. Although each other's agents belong to Endeavour, they had little interaction before today. Now that he has someone who often plays a supporting role as the protagonist, there will definitely be a feeling of disbelief.

    "Of course," Sean said with certainty, "since this story is your idea, of course it should be directed, produced and performed by you, isn't it?"

    No matter what time, the icing on the cake is not as good as the help in the snow. Once you decide to sell well and give favor to the other party, then simply sell the biggest one.

    Originally, Sean just wanted to encourage a few words, wait for the script to come out, and then discuss with Vladimir, but his intuition told him that doing so would not get the best interests.

      .

    Sean doesn't know what this means, but it doesn't prevent him from changing his mind, from winning Apatu to winning Apatu to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, after a quick calculation in his heart, he said the above words in a low-sounding manner, wanting to impress people quickly, this is the best way.

    "Are you really going to make trouble for me, so sure that the movie without a script will be a big hit?" Vladimir asked with a sigh on the phone.

    Indeed, although Sean used to do it like this before, when you see a script, give Vladimir a call, and the latter will handle it immediately. Although it has become a model, this time it is indeed too exaggerated. The script has not been released yet, and he has to win it in a hurry. He also promised an investment of 20 million, which made Vladimir unable to accept it for a while.

    "If you're not interested, then let my Tang Style Films take over. Then you need to help raise some funds and do a good job in distribution." Sean said in a relaxed tone.

    There was silence for a moment: "Okay, I understand, but I have to read the script before making a decision."

    "As you like." Sean was very straightforward.

    To be honest, he doesn't have much confidence in the end. Who knows what kind of change the butterfly effect will take. For example, his performance is too much, Apatow they must not let him down Trust, so tremblingly came up with a step of mediocrity.

    So Sean has always said in front of them before, don't care too much about other people's opinions, don't be too constrained, just do it according to your own ideas.

    I hope you don't let me down... Sean can only say this in his heart, although it is acceptable to fail once in a while, no one can succeed every time, and Sean has misunderstood times before. , but taking 20 million to fail is still a bit too generous.

    But at this point, it's useless to think too much. I still spend my energy on the role I want to play, and those nasty flies come again.

    This time it is not a scandal, but the trailer of "The Aviator", which is 2.5 minutes long. A major relationship and hearings after World War II.

    The rhythm is very good, the soundtrack is also very suitable for the scene, tenderness and passion and enthusiasm, Scorsese should have put in a lot of effort, that is, Kate's lens is a little bit more... Well, Kate as Katharine Hepburn.

    But the media didn't think it was very good.

    "Maybe the Playboy image fits, but otherwise...let it go."

    "Having Sean Down play one of the greatest aviators in American history? It was a bad decision."

    "Martin Scorsese is too flippant, maybe he thinks Sean Tang is good, but others don't, Leonardo DiCaprio is better than that A young man in his early 20s would be better suited to play Howard Hughes."

    Anyway, it was a few months ago that Sean was working with Scorsese to play Hughes in his new film, and the media had already slammed it once news.

    The difference is that the last time was quickly overshadowed by Sean's scandal, and this time they have evidence - the trailer that aired - so the depiction is more exaggerated and attracts more attention.

    For example, someone analyzes the trailer frame by frame on the Internet, which shows that Sean is not suitable for the role of Hughes at all, although many people think this guy is very boring. Looking for something, but more people find it very interesting.

    In addition, there are people who help, such as the above, a guy who is more suitable for the role of Hughes than Sean. So starting from late June, the trailer for "The Aviator" proved that Sean couldn't play Howard Hughes at all, and it was a riot in public opinion.

    "It's normal, just ignore it. Anyway, when the movie is released at the end of the year, how will the audience naturally vote with their movie tickets." When asked on the set of "War Time", Sean looked very open.

    I said before that this kind of bad talk will appear before every actor's work is released, but the degree is different, the previous "Cold Mountain" and "Sniper Phone Booth" and even earlier " When "Genius Ripley", Sean had been treated like this, and he was already immune. Anyway, as he says now, exactly how the movie came out will know, although the media will never learn its lesson.

    "It seems that you are very obsessed with Howard Hughes, and you have moved Scorsese." Christopher immediately joked, of course, there is no malice or dissatisfaction, Sean's original serious attitude has already shown Because he likes that character very much, in this case, it is reasonable for Sean to go to Scorsese when Christopher gave up the subject matter, and the way he impresses the other party is no different from the way he impresses Christopher.

    "Yes yes, I will take the role of Batman, also because I think he is very close to Hughes in image, parents died early, smart, emotional, playboy, etc. , of course there are some minor differences, but don't worry about it," Sean said immediately, before being mocked by veteran comic book fans again.
