Chapter 89 The opportunity to change a life
I'm late back, thank you brother Patriotic for your reward, and then I'm ashamed to ask for a recommendation vote!
——
This news was seen by Chen Tian in the New York Times in 2010, mainly about the dilemma of some celebrities before they became famous.
Generally speaking, if you want to become famous in Hollywood, you not only have to work harder but also rely on luck and your own persistence.
What impressed Chen Tian the most was James Cameron, who had once attacked. He had been an ordinary truck driver before becoming a super leader.
This is also the true origin of James Cameron's title of "God of Card", and it is not because of Cameron's card that he is called "God of Card".
Superstars Bruce Willis and Cameron were once fellow travelers, and "heartthrob" Brad Pitt's job is to help strippers drive and collect money.
Channing Tatum even skipped striptease in the strip club, and at this moment, this Joe Hamm, who was mentioned by Tim Suschet, had a particularly similar experience to Joe Hamm in this report.
In particular, Tim Suschet said that this person was synonymous with handsome men in the 1960s, which was more in line with the report of this news.
"Is it the Joe Hamm who relies on "Mad Men" to conquer the hearts of countless women around the world?" Chen Tian couldn't help but think.
"Tim, do you have his contact information? If it's really like you said, then try it out for him."
"Yes, I'll send it to you later, but now he should be in a working state. You know that many underground movies start working at this time.
I haven't seen him for a while, and the specific situation is not very clear."
"No problem, give me the contact information and then I'll take a look. Maybe I can go to the scene to watch it. If it's really good, then he will."
After hanging up the phone, Tim Sushet soon sent Joe Hamm's contact information.
As Sussett said, Joe Hamm was working in a studio in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles.
Perhaps because of being curious about underground movies, or because he was eager to determine the candidate for the setter, Chen Tian took a taxi to Joe Hamm's shooting location.
In this movie holy place in Los Angeles, there are thousands of film companies, and in addition to those large film companies, there are thousands of small film companies.
Some are formal film companies, while others do not even have formal licenses.
These companies that do not even have a formal license often have one way to survive, that is, illegal adult movies.
Compared with those regular adult film companies, these illegal companies are more secretly filming at night.
Looking at the streets with dark lights and the buildings emitting light, Chen Tian knew that the crew of Joe Hamm was such an illegal company.
When Chen Tian walked in, the dog at the door barked at Chen Tian a few times.
"Man, I'm not a bad guy." Chen Tian said to the dog. A tall black man soon came out of the building.
The big man, who was about two meters tall, looked fierce.
"Brother, this is not a place you can come."
"I'm not here casually. I'm looking for Joe Hamm and have called him in advance."
"Joe Hamm? That soft-boy! Come in!" The black man snorted coldly with disdain and turned around and walked in.
After walking around a walkway, Chen Tian saw the warehouse.
The huge roller shutter door was pulled up by the black man, and what caught his eye was a large bed in the corner.
However, the big bed is arranged around the bedroom, at least it looks very well decorated.
"Ham, this guy said he was here to find you." The black man pointed at Chen Tian behind him.
"Brother, you actually found this place. This is not a good place." Joe Hamm looked at Chen Tian in surprise.
Chen Tian also looked at Joe Hamm carefully. The name almost became the spokesperson for the American advertising industry and old-school men in the 1960s in later generations.
His old-school handsome appearance, wishfully considered by Hollywood and global movie fans, is from the modern people's remembrance and imagination of the best era and retro men.
Although he was wearing white T-sleeved clothes at this moment, Chen Tian could still feel the temperament of his suit.
Chen Tian has watched several seasons of "Mad Men" and is deeply impressed by Dan Drebe, played by Joe Hamm.
This man, who was believed by the media and movie fans to be born for him, came to him at this moment.
Chen Tian finally understood why Joe Hamm would later show that weather-beaten and charming temperament with the charm of time when wearing a suit.
Without this low-scene experience, perhaps Joe Hamm, who was later called the most handsome man in suits.
When Joe Hamm walked to Chen Tian, a woman came out from a distance, wearing the one-piece net suit from her feet to her neck.
Apart from the net clothes, there is no covering, the towering parts look particularly attractive.
Withdrew his gaze, Chen Tian looked at Joe Hamm: "I don't know if Tim told you that I am Justin Chen who wants you to be the setter of the crew."
"I thought it was Tim's joke, are you sure? Today is April Fool's Day." Joe Hamm said with a smile.
"Of course it's not April Fool's Day, but I changed my mind."
Seeing Joe Hamm's expression of disappointment instantly, Chen Tian laughed: "I will invite you to be the leading actor in my new film."
"This joke is not funny at all, it's even a humiliation to me."
Although Joe Hamm has not completely lost confidence in his acting career, he has no expectations.
Although this job is very tiring and unspeakable, for him, his income of several hundred dollars a day is quite considerable.
Regarding Chen Tian's words, he subconsciously thought it was a joke, and even a humiliation to him.
Chen Tian looked at Joe Hamm and said seriously: "No, this is no joke.
I'm not a casual joke. To be honest, I already have plans for the protagonist.
But seeing you, I decided to change this idea. If you want, I want to invite you to be the setter of my new film and also play the leading role.
But this requires an audition. If you can impress me, I will hand over this male lead to you.
If you don't want to, you're just the setter of my new film."
Originally, Chen Tian didn't have this idea, but when he saw Joe Ham ask for him, Chen Tian thought Joe Ham could try the role of male lead Jeff.
In the script, Jeff is a 32-year-old single man and a successful photographer.
Decent, gentle, and friendly, and Joe Hamm in front of him is very consistent with the traits of these male lead Jeff, plus age, which is better than Greg, the sunny little beauty.
Although Joe Hamm is a loser now, his acting skills in Mad Men are superb.
However, Chen Tian didn't know what would have thought if Joe Hamm's fans in later generations knew that Joe Hamm played this perverted character.
"Justin, are you sure this is not a joke?"
More than a decade of failure made Joe Hamm unable to believe this sudden opportunity.
"Of course not, but if your audition is not satisfactory, I can only say sorry, but what I want to tell you is that you meet the character's requirements." Chen Tian said to Joe Hamm.
“I’m willing to accept it.”
