103. Chapter 103 The other side

If you had some doubts about your intuition before, then you can basically determine the accuracy after "The Genius Ripley". So when Sean thought "Charlie's Angels" would be very good, and he would not have many scenes, he had the idea of ​​participating.

Of course, in addition to intuition, he also conducted some analysis. Although he has become famous and won a lot of reputation with "Genius Ripley", it may not be so easy to get a good role next. Age is a problem after all. If you still fight for roles at the age of 23 or 24, it would not be difficult to use your current reputation and popularity. But who has made him clarify that he is indeed only 19 years old?

Even though Sean's fame did not decline but rose after appearing on "Tonight Show", it was still a hurdle at the age of 19. Even if the producer and director had the idea of ​​inviting him, as long as he saw this age, he would stop and think about it. If an actor with the same outstanding acting skills appeared at this time, he might choose someone else.

Don’t think about hiding age or something. Even if it has not been exposed by the New York Post before, it will be a matter of time sooner or later. Frederick can modify his profile as an actor, but he has no choice but to do so in driver’s license and social welfare numbers. Therefore, you must be prepared for both. If you can play the leading role or even important role in some excellent movies, it is naturally good to have a supporting role with the opportunity to play, but if not, it is necessary to play a supporting role in some commercial movies with good box office to maintain exposure.

"Charlie's Angels" is obviously among the latter, while "Pearl Harbor" recommended by Frederick is definitely not among the former. Sean is a little vague about this movie, and with his intuition, it doesn't seem to be very good. What's more, even though he didn't watch many movies in his previous life, he still knew that there was no movie that could surpass "Titanic" before James Cameron's next work came out. At the same time, because the live-action movie version of "Transformers" knew a little about the deeds of director Michael Bay, and the title of "Explosion Bay" is not very good, so think about it carefully.

However, after attending the audition for "Charlie's Angels" today, Sean suddenly felt that the previous decision seemed to be a mistake, because all signs showed that Drew seemed... to be selecting actors or partners based on his own preferences.

To put it more clearly, whoever she sees is completely attracted to, she will join the crew, Nichol, Matt, and Sean. This is why this audition looks so formal, but it is like a farce, and there is not even a casting director in the audition venue.

As for commercial value or personal ability, these are of course important, but if Drew doesn't like it or doesn't like it, then you can only change people. So the crew plays with her, constantly selecting actors who have both acting skills and can make Drew like. No wonder the actors in this movie keep changing and changing the script.

When she thought of the illusionate appearance of her and Cameron in front of her after the audition, if it weren't for intention, Sean should have really covered her forehead.

I used to think that Drew Barrymore is a woman who is very smart and capable. She can set up her own production company at the age of 19 and can make money. She also bought the right to adapt the movie "Charlie's Angel" with a vision.

But now I feel that she shouldn't be able to do it, but she's just lucky, right?

OK, this is possible, but it is only possible. After all, you must be able to get up after falling or even falling so hard that you fall. What's more, there is a great director godfather. As long as she is willing to work hard, she will definitely be able to help.

So the most likely thing is that she is a little clever and wise, but she is also very casual. It is normal that people are contradictory.

Thinking of this, Sean felt relieved. No matter what, the chance of intuition error should not be high. What's more, it can be verified with reality. I won't talk about the subject matter. The key is that Columbia Pictures will support it after leaving.

The news collected before said that in addition to a lot of effort, Columbia Pictures has also decided to be responsible for the distribution. With the support of one of the seven major Hollywood film companies, as long as the plot, picture, and camera are acceptable, the box office should not be a problem, so you can still try it.

However, Sean's view does not mean that others think so, such as his agent.

"You said it yourself. The audition is simply a farce, and they don't focus on production at all." Frederick said unscrupulously on the other end of the phone.

"That's not necessarily true, Fred, if they want to make money, the basic quality of the movie should be paid attention to." Sean held the phone and looked at Sanders who was trying his best to please Poker, and said in a lazy tone.

Like Garen just came, Poker was hostile to Sanders and always looked at him vigilantly, just like now. If Sanders tried to make out with him, he would whimper, wag his tail and spread his legs apart, and pose that he would pounce on him at any time and bite him.

Of course, although it looks mighty, as long as Sanders roars twice, the little thing will jump and hide behind Sean without coming out. In short, it is impossible to expect it to guard the house. I hope it can still say a few words when someone invades at night.

As for Lucy, oh, His Highness the Princess will not be moved by these things. Generally, she either sleeps or squats on the sofa with her head held high and looks around coldly, as if she is inspecting her subjects.

If Sanders wants to lure it with cat food or something, he gets a glimpse of contempt, which, in the words of his previous life, is, "Does stupid humans think they can buy me this way?" or "Uncle, take your dirty things away."

Not to mention this, Frederick was still chattering and trying to give up on this idea.

"Okay, Fred, you have also said that the protagonist of this movie is three angels. I guess my role will only last one to two weeks at most, and it will not delay the shooting of other movies." Sean said.

Perhaps thinking that this might not be enough, I added another sentence: "Instead of persuading me to give up this, you might as well get the audition you promised for Pearl Harbor - OK, that's it."

———

"Wait, Sean..." Frederick wanted to say something, but a beeping sound had already come from there.

"Damn it, why don't you understand? You are a highly-watched star. You actually played a supporting role in such a movie!" The agent hugged his head and complained. If this was not a public place, he might have already jumped up.

Of course, Ferederick quickly adjusted. As an agent, this psychological quality is still available. Well, Sean's income is also wrong. Instead of urging him to give up "Charlie's Angels", it is better to participate in the audition for "Pearl Harbor" first. At that time, he will naturally understand which movie is the key point.

After calming down, the agent immediately began to look around. He was standing outside a restaurant in Burbank. He had received news before that Michael Bay had made an appointment with his friend for lunch here. He wanted to pretend that he had lunch here as well, and then directly recommended it to the other party.

Frankly speaking, I hope Sean will be temporarily selected by Frederick, so he is not prepared very well. It just happened that the first audition has passed. If you join like this, you will need to pass the levels layer by layer. Several producers do not have the mind to watch one by one. In this case, 80% of them may be eliminated directly. Hollywood will never lack outstanding male actors.

In that case, Frederick chose to take the upper level route, just like the previous "Genius Ripley".

However, among the several producers, Randall Wallace is just a screenwriter and has not much power. Jerry Brookheimer knows him, but he is not in Los Angeles at the moment, and the producers Kenny Bates and Bruce Hendrick who come over to Disney are completely unfamiliar with him, so Frederick makes his mind to hit Michael Bay.

He had several interactions with this director who was a MV filming director. When Michael Bay directed his debut work "The Jedi Men", Frederick recommended his client, but unfortunately he didn't reach an agreement. But a few years later, he successfully promoted a client to the crew of "Brave the Deadly Island" and starred in one of the last two mercenaries. Unfortunately, the guy fired him after the movie ended.

However, Frederick still had some relationship with Bay because of this, and would say hello when he encountered it on different occasions, so he now wants to use him to win a chance for Sean.

But many times, once you get busy, you will get messed up. Just like Frederick is now, he will find that he is just alone when he runs to the restaurant. Generally speaking, in the United States, although not no one eats alone in the restaurant, if others see it, they will mostly say in their hearts: Freak. Secondly, they come here to eat alone and then meet Michael Bey. No matter how you look at it, it seems that it has been planned. Even if you want to recommend someone, don't do it so deliberately, right?

So Frederick had to walk outside and pretend to call - not just pretending. He had called Sean before, and now he was calling someone else.

"Hey, Jason, you said Mike would have lunch at the Meteorite Restaurant on 78th Street, why haven't I seen him yet!" the agent asked in a low voice.

"I just said it's possible, Fred, I can't decide where they will eat. Maybe they change their minds and want to change places temporarily? And I'm just hearing about it." A helpless voice came from the other side.

"Damn it, it's a hell." Frederick couldn't help but cover his forehead. Just as he felt that he would return to nothing today, a woman walked out of the restaurant.

He looked about fifty years old, with long black straight hair, deep eye sockets and slightly high cheekbones, but it can still be seen that he was a beautiful woman when he was young.

It took only a few seconds to make the decision, and then caught up with the other party in a few steps: "Hi, Bonnie, Bonnie? Timoman, do you still remember me?"

Seeing the other party showing a puzzled look, he patted his chest and introduced himself: "Fred, Frederick Rogers, we have seen it at the ABC cocktail party."

"Yes, Fred, that striving agent." The other party immediately thought, "Is there anything wrong?"

"That's right. I originally invited someone to lunch, but unfortunately, he put my pigeons, so I had to leave without even entering the restaurant door." Frederick opened his mouth and came, "and I saw you, so I thought, since you always have to gain something, so - you are the casting director of Pearl Harbor, right?"

"So you want to..." Bonnie laughed.
