Best Actor

     Sean agreed. Since it was recommended by Harvey Weinstein, it must be valuable. As a producer who started out as an independent film, he did not have the ability of Sean. It is impossible to lose sight of so many good movies. Moreover, even if he has misunderstood, is he still there?

    Besides, it's just an audition, and it's not a big deal. It won't take long if you agree. But next time he was busy again. In addition to this, he also had an audition and participated in the shooting of a movie.

    The name of the movie I participated in is "Thirteen Arhats", that's right, it's the thief group drama led by George Clooney. Although "Twelve Arhats" has a bad reputation, its box office It's still very good, and "Thirteen Arhats" is naturally on the agenda.

    And now, in addition to Clooney and Brad, Sean has also been a superstar task, so in order to let him play well, Clooney called after a few words and said, don't worry, you There will be a wonderful episode.

    Actually, Sean wouldn't refuse even if he didn't say this, he has already cooperated twice, and he doesn't care about the third time, let alone Clooney's invitation. But Clooney should also understand this, but he still made a promise, and he has to admit that he is indeed a good man.

      's schedule. Plus, Clooney is looking for Al Pacino to play the villain, well, good idea, Pacino doesn't have many villains.

    The negotiation went well, Sean promised to give the schedule as much as possible, and then, Brad, who came with Clooney, talked about another matter.

    "Do you have any scripts that you have taken up recently?" He asked first, hesitantly, as if he was worried about something.

    "Not yet, but a few are under consideration, what's the matter?" In this case, Sean naturally wouldn't speak and die.

    "Um..." Brad scratched his head and said after a few seconds: "Okay, that's it, I'm working on a movie, a... Western, based on real events. . Do you know Jesse James? One of the most famous gunmen and heroes of the Frontier West, he led the James Gang that was rampant for a while, but he was betrayed and shot to death by his subordinates after he retired."

    "You want to make a movie of his experience?" Sean asked immediately.

    "Yes," Brad nodded, "In '83 someone published a book about Robert Ford, the gang member who betrayed Jesse James, I The production company bought the copyright, and then cooperated with Ridley Scott to produce it. Of course, twists and turns are still indispensable, as you know, westerns are not very optimistic now, and they could start shooting in 2005, but unexpectedly There's always been, so it's been delayed until now. Funding is one aspect, actors are another, and it takes a lot of work."

    Sean didn't say anything, just made a look of listening. He roughly guessed what he wanted to say, but he lacked a supporting role - the protagonist must be Brad's own, this has nothing to say- I couldn't find a suitable actor, so I wanted to ask him if he was interested. However, Sean's status in Hollywood is not much worse than Brad's now, and Brad has a little more qualifications than him and knows more people than him, but it can be said to be a complete failure in other places, so I asked him to be him. Supporting role, this kind of words can't be said.

    However, Brad can get to the point where he is now, and he is also an expert at observing words. Although Sean remains calm, he still sees something. After exchanging glances with Clooney, Straight to the point: "I'm playing Jesse James in the movie, and I've never been able to find the right person for the important supporting role of Robert Ford, only Casey Affleck is a little bit of the cast, and then...George thinks you should be very good. Suitable."

    "Oh?" Sean responded noncommittally, then looked at George Clooney.

    "I just made a suggestion," Clooney said. "But the script is really good. If I were younger, maybe I would try it."

    He is still so slick, and both sides are not offended. In this case, Sean did not refuse: "Then, can I read the script first?"

    "No problem!" Brad agreed, "I'll send it to your mailbox as soon as possible."

    The above is the previous contact, and then, when Sean went to the appointment that day, he received the script, because he was busy to meet Weinstein, he just read it in a hurry, and then because of thinking about Anderson's It took a day and a half to fully read the script.

    To be honest, the story is only average, but the characters are not bad - but this is not bad for the Robert Ford he needs to play, although Jesse James is also well formed, but The image is too perfect, the loyalty and family are important, the work is measured, the blood is calm, and some...not like ordinary people.

    On the contrary, Robert Ford is timid, cowardly, full of fantasy, but he can be ruthless when he should be ruthless, and he looks more flesh and blood, so Sean is really a little moved. It's not a big deal to be a supporting role. Although Brad wants to find a good actor to support the movie, he has the idea of ​​pulling him in the past as a foil, but it is not uncommon for a supporting role to steal the lead's limelight in Hollywood, but...

    "Westerns are dead, Sean, we should all know that," Frederick said.

    When encountering such a thing, Sean will consult him, Sanders and Galen, of course, whether it is used or not is his own business.

    "Maybe there will be a miracle, but I don't know." Although Sean replied, but looking at his appearance, it was obvious that he was raising the bar.

    So Sanders added: "Basically not, Westerns are indeed dead, maybe the character is good, but unless the film is made well enough to get a little word of mouth, as for the box office, that Don't even think about it."

    As an agent, he does his job very well, and there is no ambiguity when it comes to standing in line with Frederick and preventing Sean from doing things that may have consequences.

    "What's more, you still have this, don't you?" Sanders said and picked up another script and waved it. It was the one Anderson and Weinstein were talking about that day. The script for the movie, this one called "There Will Be Blood," is as good as they say it is, especially the noir vibe, the irony -- the theology and the hypocrisy -- the tone is sharp.

    "Do you like this script?" Sean asked with a raised eyebrow.

    "I think it's good, so do Galen and Neil." Sanders said and looked at Frederick.

    "It's really good," the agent hesitated, "but the atmosphere is too dark, the mainstream public will not like it, and there is no need to say more about the box office."

    "But at least it won't be much worse in word of mouth." Sanders then added that he knew what Sean wanted.

    Of course, Frederick knew it, so even if he didn't agree, he just spread his hands and didn't have an interface after hearing this.

    Sean couldn't help pondering, to be honest, intuitively, he had a lot of reactions to these two scripts, but "The Blood Will Come" is bigger. In this sense, this script can't be let go, but Brad's recommended script for "Death of the Sharpshooter" also feels OK - for the role of Robert Ford to be exact - and he has some ideas in his mind that he wants to try. .

    So, what he really wanted in his heart was to get both, but it would be a little troublesome how to allocate the slots. Although the schedule of "Thirteen Arhats" is very loose, the shooting time is as long as 6 months, but it is only relatively loose. It is no problem to insert a film that takes 2 to 3 months to shoot, but inserting two...

    "Sandy, Fred, ask Brad and Weinstein respectively, when will the film start shooting and how long it will take." Sean finally said.

    They are already very familiar people. As soon as he said this, Sanders and Frederick understood his plan, looked at each other, and shrugged helplessly. , and then agree together. They can all know that what Sean decides, unless there is really no way to achieve it, generally will not give up.

    Of course, they are not easy to speak, and someone always speaks: "If you want to make three movies at the same time, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort, Sean."

    "It's not that I have no experience doing three movies at the same time, Galen." Sean didn't care.

    "But that's one after the other." Galen continued to remind.

    "Yes, I know, but "Twelve Arhats" was also driven out by me between the shootings of other films," Sean was still not convinced, "It's okay now."

    Then he grabbed the two scripts and shook them: "Besides, these two stories both take place in the West, which means that both Texas or Nevada may be filmed on the spot, so if you can get We will be able to figure out a way to make adjustments when we get to the exact shooting date of the film.”

    "Okay, now that you've decided..." Speaking of which, Galen could only shrug, and sighed by the way: "If Emma is here, she should be able to persuade I can hold you, you listen to her more now."

    After a pause, he then asked curiously: "What is the reason for the conflict between the two of you, she has never shown a good face to you until now. No."

    Sean's face suddenly collapsed: "Okay, Galen, forget about this."

    Speaking, he got up and left the living room and walked into the garden. Several people present shook their heads together, and then Sanders and Frederick left first.

    Look at Sean's back outside, kicking the lawn angrily, not knowing what he was stimulated before.

    How do I know what's going on... Sean was thinking quite depressed at this time, just seeing her face softened a little, he asked, "Don't you want to be an actor too? Do I recommend a character to you?" God knows how she could suddenly get angry again.
