207. Chapter 207 End?
"Of course I'm optimistic about him. If I don't, why would I hear who the director of "White Night Chase" ask you to help me win that role? Or a character with very few roles? And I also agreed to his interview request at once?" Like when I came, Sean was sitting in the car and making a phone call, but the person who answered the phone did not change - Frederick was driving behind him.
"Okay, I get it. I just want to remind you not to forget your thoughts. You are always right, Sean, hopefully this time too." Frederick didn't say much. In fact, he didn't say anything in the entire meeting. It was basically the conversation between Sean and the Nolan brothers.
After hanging up the phone, and after Frederick gave him a thumbs up when he was overtaking, Sean breathed a long sigh and stretched his pretty comfortable laziness in the small space in the car.
Next, we have to convince the producer to give himself the role that was vacant because the actor temporarily quit, but it is easy because... in the producer column, there are the names of George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh. Yes, their production company has invested in this movie.
Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but chuckled. Just like when he heard the news about "Spy Shadows" from Brad Pitt, the general situation about "White Night Chase" was heard from Clooney and Soderbergh. There are indeed two situations: connections and no connections.
Although they didn't say much, they just mentioned during the chat that they had just invested in a movie. The director was a British man, named Christopher Nolan. At that time, Sean had not reacted yet. It was not until they talked about the Sundance Film Festival from "My Grand Greek Wedding", and then about "Memory Fragments" that also participated in the film festival and mentioned a few sentences that he was shocked.
Afterwards, things became simple. Sean immediately got rid of Frederick, Vladimir and Sanders collected Christopher's information from all aspects. He soon learned that his new work "White Night Chase" was about to start filming. He happened to find that an actor had just launched from the crew due to schedule reasons and immediately notified Frederick to fight for that role for him.
Even though this role has few scenes, there is not much room for performance even under the double-team of big-name actors - the two male protagonists are the famous Al Pacino and Robin Williams, the Oscar-Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, while the heroine is Hillary Swank, who won the Oscar-winning actress at the age of 25.
In addition, Frederick didn't agree with it - he seemed to have never agreed with Sean's choice - but Sean still insisted on his opinion and must get the role. This attitude attracted Christopher Nolan's curiosity. After all, with his current qualifications and based on the plot, a character who died within 20 minutes of appearance was not needed.
Then, Sean said what he was ready when he made this decision: I want to cooperate with you. If you don’t hurry up and invest in him in the future, when will you have to wait?
Although Sean knew not many directors in his previous life, he had heard of Christopher Nolan's name, and even heard a saying that Steven Spielberg, the one who told stories best in the 1990s was Steven Spielberg, and Christopher Nolan was the one who told stories best in the 2000s just 100s.
This statement must be exaggerated, but it can also be seen how popular he is. In fact, the movies he produced and directed have basically achieved both reputation and box office success. Film critics praised him for taking into account the entertainment of the movie and a certain amount of humanistic care. It is no wonder that he is so sought after.
However, some people praise each other and some people slap them. And there are indeed quite a few movie fans who swear too much, as if Christopher Nolan is unparalleled in the sky and under the earth. With the development of the Internet, people's emotions on the Internet have become more and more extreme, and there are many cases of disagreeing with their families.
So some people don’t care about anything when they step on it. For example, a guy said, Christopher Nolan’s commercial box office is not as good as Michael Bay, and there is no honorary award. Director XX has already won an Oscar at his age. After all, he just deliberately made some unfathomable topics in the plot, making the movie seem to have depth, and any director can do it, etc.
It was because of these attacks that Sean became interested in Christopher and then had a little more detailed understanding. After learning more, he disdained those evaluations, just like the example of Columbus he mentioned before. Since it was so ordinary, why didn’t anyone do that before him? Since any director could do it, why are there so few directors who could tell a good story, take into account humanistic care, and get hundreds of millions of box offices before Christopher Nolan?
Okay, it's a bit off topic. In short, Christopher is a director who is better than ordinary directors. In addition, there are not many directors who have become famous in the 21st century that Sean remembers, so once he has the chance, he will of course try his best to get in touch with him.
It seems that "White Night Chase" is not very famous. Did something happen in the middle? Sean suddenly thought of this. The impression of several movies directed by Christopher, "White Night Chase" is very vague. It seems that it may be one of his few mistakes. But thinking about it, the screenwriter is neither his younger brother nor the final editing rights, so there may be a big problem.
It doesn't matter, anyway, just contact Christopher and even gain his favor. Sean quickly threw it out of his mind, and he didn't have too many delusions.
In fact, although Sean knew that Christopher would direct the new Batman trilogy, or the Batman Prequel trilogy, he did not have the idea of this. Although starring in a superhero can gather huge popularity, it is also a burden. It is easy to fix the image in such a continuous movie, but once it is fixed, it will basically be very difficult to gain something in honor.
So although it was a bit regretful that he didn't get the male lead in "The Spy", it might be a good thing to think about it carefully. Sean even gave up on "Pirates of the Caribbean" he had thought about before. So, he went to Christopher's other works, and by the way, he contacted Warner's senior management through him and tried to establish a good relationship.
When we returned to Malibu, it was already a little late. After parking the car outside, Sean and Garen entered the house together. After a few steps, they saw Sanders sitting sleepily on the sofa while the TV was still on.
Sean immediately made a swearing gesture to Garen, then tiptoed over, squatted beside him, and then let out a low growl.
Sanders, who had originally lightly lit his head, immediately bounced up, and after seeing them clearly, he said angrily: "Ha, it really scared me."
Sean and Garen both laughed, and then Garen asked with a wicked smile: "Why are you so sleepy? Because you did something to vent your energy?"
"Yes, I'm playing pistols at the sports program." Sanders gave him a blank look, and on the TV screen, the two basketball teams were fighting back and forth enthusiastically.
"I don't know yet, what kind of person you like is Kobe. Have you ever considered confessing to him?" Sean immediately followed up.
Sanders rolled his eyes again, got up and stretched: "How is the afternoon meeting?"
"It's not bad. I've taken action myself, how could I not handle it?" Sean spread his hands proudly.
"So I'm so happy?" Sanders' eyes narrowed slightly.
"It sounds like there is something that makes people feel unhappy?" Sean immediately reacted.
"Your Naomi calls here, hoping you can come over, she seems to have something to come to you," Sanders said in a teasing tone.
"Naomi called here?" Sean was very surprised. "Why? Even if there is something wrong, she should call my phone directly..."
He suddenly stopped and his face changed slightly. Yes, if Naomi had something to do, he could call his cell phone. It was always on, but he didn't call his cell phone but to his home. What does this mean?
"I'm going out," Sean immediately walked out, "I'll do it alone."
"Will you come back tonight for the night?" Garen called him, and Sean turned around and frowned as if he didn't know why he asked that.
Seeing his appearance, Garen had to sigh: "Have you forgotten? Today is the day when Xiao Qiao brought Milly here. They are probably on the way. If you are not at home at night, I don't know how Millie will react."
Sean was stunned for about ten seconds, then smiled bitterly: "I understand, I... I'll do it."
As he said that, he waved his hand, and then he walked out without looking back. Garen could only shrug.
"I think Sean may be busy tonight." Sanders gloated.
"Don't do that, Sandy," Garen shook his head, "I have a bad feeling."
"...You are right." Sanders said after a few seconds of silence.
The feeling of uneasiness also circled in Sean's mind. This feeling has never been like this. If you think about it carefully, Naomi seems to have not changed much in the past month. After the box office sales of "My Grand Greek Wedding", she breathed a sigh of relief like everyone else and congratulated Sean, at most...there were fewer calls and the bed was more passive...
Thinking of this, Sean frowned deeper and stepped on the accelerator even wider.
He soon came to Naomi's apartment, which was still the same building. Although her financial situation had improved a lot, she had not moved out of here yet.
"Hi, Nami." After Naomie opened the door, Sean greeted her. They had briefly passed the conversation on the way.
"Hi, Sean." Naomi's smile was faint, feeling something was different from usual, as if something was suppressed under this expression.
"Sandy said you called the villa to look for me. Is there anything wrong?" Sean asked first after coming in and sat down.
Naomi didn't say anything, just pursed her lips and looked away.
"Tell me, Nami, you know, I will do anything for you." Sean said immediately.
