Best Actor

    "Mom, this depends on the situation. If there is a turnaround, I may not be able to come back... Yes, I know, I will fight for it, but I am in trouble now... No, no, don't worry , I just want to keep this opportunity... yes, I will, that's all, I love you, please give me... say hello to my sister and dad." Sean closed the phone and let out a long breath, then rubbed it. There seems to be a feeling of exhaustion on the forehead.

    It has been four or five days since he returned to Los Angeles, and with Thanksgiving just around the corner, as usual, he is going back to San Francisco to reunite with his parents. But the problem is that on the Los Angeles side, Anderson still stubbornly refuses to communicate and meet with him, and the news from Weinstein is also very bad. Anderson does not meet him now, and runs around Los Angeles, it seems Contact with other production companies.

    This signal is already quite dangerous, and in any case, Sean will not allow himself to lose this role. He is more and more certain that this role and this movie are very important to him.

    Unfortunately, even if the previous "The Aviator" has experienced twists and turns, at least he has met Scorsese and let him watch his own video tape. He couldn't do it in any number of ways.

    "What should I do." Sean tapped his head with his fingers.

    Although he doesn't really want to go back to San Francisco, as long as the old man is still there, he will be uncomfortable at home, but at least his mother wants him to go back, and I heard that my sister may be engaged recently, so...

    At this moment, Sanders, who has been running around for the past few days, came in from the outside.

    "How is it?" Sean, who didn't care about greetings, went straight to the topic.

    "No, I didn't see it, go to his studio, the people over there will shake their heads when they hear me representing you." Sanders sighed.

    Sean's face was a little ugly, but he didn't say much, but watched Sanders waiting for the next, he believed he should still have a way.

    Sure enough, Sanders quickly spoke again: "But I heard that on Wednesday he is going to Weinstein Pictures to negotiate with Harvey, maybe that is an opportunity."

    Sean knows what he means, wait outside when they negotiate, and Anderson can get in touch after they come out, this is bad, it may further anger the other party, but it is the only feasible Yes, a way to talk face-to-face with Anderson.

    "The day after tomorrow?" Sean thought for a while, "It's Thanksgiving soon, and if we delay like this, it's basically impossible to return to Texas before the holiday, and Brad has to Complaining, I'm afraid he won't cooperate with me again in the future."

    He laughed at himself when he said this, and he could almost imagine what Pete would say when he called and asked to delay his role. . Although he didn't care about his relationship with Pete, it wouldn't be worth it if it affected his relationship with Clooney. After all, the two of them should be closer.

    "If you're lucky, you can at least catch up on Thanksgiving at home." Sanders said comfortingly, "Think of something good, Sean, for example, "Babel" has a very good reputation ."

    "Yeah, not bad." Sean forced a smile.

    "Babel Tower" was released on November 3rd. It was released on a small scale, with about 40 theaters and a box office of about 300,000. Just like when it was released in Cannes, the critics gave it unanimous praise. Even if some people think that the cut marks of the editing are still too heavy, both the conception and the color of the picture are quite excellent.

    "The world is full of misunderstandings, what you see is not necessarily the truth, only God can see everything clearly, and this is what Inarido wants to tell us." One The critics summed it up this way.

      Attractive, so it quickly increased to 1,000 plus theaters in the second week, and the total North American box office barely climbed to 8 million.

      The film industry, so it can also be divided into a part of "Babel Tower". But after these two weeks have passed, after all kinds of big productions start to land in theaters, they may be beaten back to their original shape and fall back to the position of hundreds or even more than 100 theaters.

    In fact, this is nothing. As an art film, small-scale long-term screening is almost inevitable. Anyway, according to the current situation, it is definitely no problem to recover the cost.

    In addition, American film critics finally don't ignore Sean's acting skills like European film critics before, and gave him and Kate a pretty good evaluation.

    "Sean once again proved that he can play roles far beyond his own age very well." said a report in "Empire".

    It's not that no one wants to talk about the case that Kate testified for Sean last year, but basically they were pressed down after bubbling. Sean is now a big business, and he is still There is a team in operation, which naturally handles this kind of thing very smoothly.

    To sum up, the "Tower of Babel" that meets expectations is indeed good news. Sean was also happy for two days at first, until now this thing happened. This matter is different. Sean is more and more certain that he has a very high possibility of winning the Oscar after playing the leading role of "The Blood Will Come", but with the development of time, the possibility of losing himself becomes more and more likely. Bigger, how can you be happy?

    Now we will see if we can seize this last chance, and then three days will soon pass.

    "Paul, wait, Paul!" Shawn shouted and greeted him.

    From inside, Anderson, who was not very good-looking at first, became more disgusted after noticing Sean and quickened his pace.

    "Paul!" Sean took a few steps to block him, and in front of several people who came out together, "Let's talk!"

    "What are you doing, Sean!" Before Anderson could speak, Weinstein next to him called out, "Damn, can't you be a little more patient?"

    Although he looked anxious, Sean ignored him and just looked at Anderson: "We have to talk about it anyway, Paul, even if you are guilty, you have to allow yourself to defend yourself."

    "No, you're not guilty," Anderson snorted coldly, looking like he wouldn't compromise, "It's just that I simply want to change people."

    Sean couldn't help suffocating, he didn't expect him to speak like this, it was a completely face-breaking rhythm.

    "Don't do this, Paul, please give me a chance." Sean quickly blocked Anderson again, who was about to leave.

    "I gave you a chance, Sean, you abandoned it yourself." Anderson said still firmly, then turned his head to look at Weinstein and sneered: "If you If you still insist, then there is no possibility for us to talk again.”

    "What is this?" Weinstein couldn't help but look unhappy.

    Obviously, he must have lost a lot of smiles and good words when he talked in the office before, but as a well-known Hollywood actor who started out as an independent film, he has won many actors and film producers, even last year Going out of the house is also one of the big figures in Hollywood. When have you ever been so humble?

    And then, unfortunately, Anderson is not ordinary stubborn: "My words have been very clear, Harvey, I will not change my terms, absolutely not."

    Speaking, he glanced at Sean and said coldly: "Please don't stand in front of me again, Mr. Sean Tang, otherwise I will call the police."

    After finishing speaking, Anderson strode out, Sean waved his arm, and finally hung down weakly, watching him walk out.

    "What are you doing here?" Weinstein didn't move, and then asked Sean rudely.

    "Don't do anything?" Sean didn't like his tone very much, and he was on fire, so he immediately asked back.

      said.

    "Really? He just didn't behave like you said." Sean put on a mocking tone.

    Weinstein's face became very ugly, and after staring at him for a while, he gritted his teeth: "I'm very disappointed in you!"

    "You're too impulsive, Sean." Sanders frowned.

    "I know." Sean nodded and smiled bitterly.

    It really shouldn't be, but seeing Anderson's stubborn appearance, you can't even get angry, isn't Weinstein the same? However, in this way, the hope is even more slim. Although it is absolutely impossible to give up until the last moment, it is not a good feeling to see the opportunity slip away little by little. Naturally, the next Thanksgiving will not be passed. it is good.

    "Didn't you say you're getting engaged, Lena, why didn't you bring him over and let us see?" Sean, who was sitting at the dining table, waiting for his father to share the roast turkey, asked his sister. .

    Although Thanksgiving is not easy every year, Sean is always unavoidable to be taught a few words by his father, but in general it is still tolerable, and Anderson has already spoken very hard, Even if he stayed in Los Angeles for Thanksgiving, it was impossible to use the holiday to get close to him, so Sean could only suppress his irritability and returned to San Francisco.

    "Don't listen to mother's nonsense," Liana rolled her eyes, "just met."

    "More than just meeting?" Sean immediately asked with a smile, "You have met many people before, but there is no news of engagement."

    "That's because some people are more sensitive, I only met them twice more." Lianna said without changing her face, and then waved her fist at Sean, "Be careful, Xiao Well, don't think that I won't deal with you if I'm in a good temper now."

    "Look, Mom, she not only said that you are sensitive, but also intends to threaten me." Sean called out immediately.

    Mom couldn't help laughing and shook her head, Liana snorted and laughed too, the atmosphere became very harmonious for a while, and the resentment accumulated in Sean's heart over the past few days also dissipated a little.
