359. Chapter 359 Superhero
"Hello, Katie, you look..." I wanted to say hello happily after opening the door, but Galen swallowed it back before he finished speaking because the girl in front of me didn't look that good.
"I know I know," Katie sighed, pointing to her dark circles, "It's not because of Sean."
"You mean, you... well... are so amazing, so you didn't sleep well?" Garen deliberately gestured, and looked surprised.
"Galen!" Katie immediately glared at him.
"Sorry," Galen laughed, and then called her into it, but he still couldn't help it, "Then your..."
"It's not because of Sean, he actually invested in such a horror movie and asked me to play the heroine," Katie said angrily, "I didn't have much to sleep with him before, but when I was lying alone in bed, when the lights turned off, I couldn't help but worry in my heart whether a guy would come out of the quilt and pull me in completely."
"Hmm?" Garen opened his eyes wide, seemingly unable to believe, "Aren't you the heroine? Will you be scared?"
"Who said the heroine wouldn't be scared?" Katie looked aggrieved. "I didn't think when I was performing that the final shot would be so terrible."
Then she immediately looked fierce: "Where is Sean? I must deal with him well!"
"Sorry, you may have to wait a while, he is not at home now," Garen said with a smile, "But I think he should be back soon, how about waiting? I just learned to make some snacks recently."
It's interesting to say that Sean's three most closely related women, Naomi, Jordanna and Katie, have all lived in his mansion and had contacted their best friends. Neil often ran around between New York and Los Angeles, and I won't say that Galen prefers Katie because she's simpler - at least that's what it looks like - and Sanders admires Jordina more, probably because she's often unruly to Sean like him.
As for Frederick, he liked Naomi more because she wouldn't cause trouble for Sean, and of course, no one cared about his opinion.
Katie didn't wait too long. After about half an hour, Sean came back from outside, with a look of depression.
"Is something happened?" Seeing this, Katie didn't bother to complain and asked half worriedly and half curiously.
"It's no big deal, Katie, don't worry," Sean hugged her, "I just encountered some problems and couldn't make a decision for the time being."
"Galen said you went to a director's house to talk about things, was it for a certain role?" Katie asked with a blink of an eye, and pulled him down and held his face, obviously wanting to know something more specific.
Looking at her appearance, and then looking at Garen who is her own but has a pricked ear, Sean sighed: "Okay, simply put, Christo and the others work with Warner to restart the "Batman" series, and then ask me if I'm interested in playing this...the most popular superhero in the DC universe."
"Are you kidding?" Garen turned his head, feeling a little unbelievable.
"It's not a joke, Garen, they really asked me that," Sean sighed, "and said a lot of other things. I'm sure they've basically agreed with Warner, and I'm sure Christo wishes I could agree."
"Then why don't you agree? This is Batman!" Garen was a little surprised and excited. Well, he can be considered a fan of DC Comics, while Sanders prefers more surprises and occasionally argues about content such as which superhero is more powerful.
So, he was so excited when he heard Sean received Batman’s invitation. If Sean agreed, the dispute would be equivalent to him winning - although the best friends did not care about the winners of these disputes, it would be good to come this time occasionally.
But he was not confused: "Even if the Batman series had come to an end before, after so many years, someone must have missed it. At this time, a related movie will be made. As long as the quality is good and the story is well told, it will definitely be popular. Your popularity and value will also double again. And haven't you always thought that Christo is a great director?"
Under the influence of Sean, he became more and more aware of Hollywood things, so these words still make sense, but Sean was not just considering these.
"Why are your words becoming more and more similar to Fred?" he said deliberately dissatisfied.
"That's because it's right," Garen shrugged, "Well, Sean, Fred is pitiful enough, you've not only shared his powers, but also reduced his income."
Sean immediately laughed, okay, he has rejected the advertisements and endorsements recommended by several agents. Although the pay share of "Cold Mountain" and "Flyer" is enough to satisfy Frederick, and there will be the second part of "Fast and Furious", if he is more satisfied, he will definitely not refuse, right?
"Okay, let's not talk about this, I understand what you said. I don't deny Christo's talent, but the problem is that there are some things that cannot be obtained at the same time, such as fame, commercial value and honor." Sean said seriously.
As soon as he said this, Garen immediately understood and became embarrassed for a moment. Indeed, there were few superheroes at the Oscar for Best Actor.
At this moment, a voice rang out in dissatisfaction: "Shawn, who is Christo?"
Katie frowned and her mouth pouted, looking angry, looking very unhappy.
"Well...sorry, my dear, it's really..." Sean smiled awkwardly, and spent time discussing with Garen, forgetting that there was someone around him.
"Christo's full name is Christopher Nolan, a British director I met when filming "White Night Chase". He is very talented..." Seeing Katie about to say something, Sean hurriedly opened his conversation and diverted his attention.
As mentioned earlier, Christopher and the others collaborated with Warner to restart the Batman series, and Christopher intends to invite Sean to play Bruce Wayne.
However, the reason why Sean was called over instead of saying it on the phone was because of another thing. When I told him that they gave up on making Howard Hughes's biographical movie, didn't Christopher and his wife Emma say there would be a big move? This big move was the establishment of Legend Pictures.
The production company is the capital of Wall Street. It was established directly over big producers and Hollywood producers. Its funds come from several famous venture capitalists, including two or three of which invested in Sean's Reincarnation Pictures.
To be honest, this situation is quite strange, and it feels like... Wall Street's capital was annoyed by various means of Hollywood account books of the big studios, so they simply ended up in person.
Well, no matter what, in short, Legend Pictures has just been established, and it has come together with Warner to create a new Batman series for them. Emma played a big role in it, and won this opportunity for her husband to direct.
However, because the news has not been made public, out of confidentiality and perhaps to show their abilities, they invited Sean to come for an interview.
To be honest, if it were another movie, Sean would have agreed at once. Which of Christopher's works is not a reputation, and the box office has been a big hit, but why is it the Batman series?
Yes, the new Batman trilogy is also highly rated, and Sean remembers it clearly, especially the second and third, which seem to have had an accident when it was released, but it still cannot stop its charm.
However, Sean's goal is obviously the opposite of that of a superhero, but he is not easy to refuse, so he had to say that it would take a few days to think about it, so he looked depressed when he came back.
"Since you are optimistic about him and want to cooperate very much, then cooperate." After hearing his story, Katie immediately said in a puzzled tone.
"But, Katie, my dear, the Film Academy will definitely not consider superheroes when selecting the Oscar for Best Actor." Although Sean rarely talks about his goals in front of women, all of which are made and not said, now he has to give this little confusion explanation carefully.
"But don't you often create miracles?" Katie was still puzzled, and said in an encouragement. "Then you create another one and become the first actor to play a superhero and win the best actor!"
Listening to this serious tone, Sean suddenly wanted to smile bitterly. If possible, of course he was willing to do this. But the problem is that no matter what he did, no matter how small the chance was, he had to have a chance first, right?
But before Katie finished speaking, she immediately said, "I don't think the character Batman will have much impact. Don't forget that he is wearing a mask."
Sean's bitter smile became even stronger. Once Katie became confused, her mind could not turn around. No matter how she wore a mask, others would not know... Wait!
He suddenly stopped. Maybe... would be a feasible solution?! To be precise, it should be a blind spot. Superheroes basically do not need acting skills, which has almost become a consensus among people, but what if they have no acting skills at all? It is not that the actors do not know how to wear masks at all, but that they are wearing masks most of the time, even if you want to perform some. But in this way, it is possible to have negative negatives and positives. After all, the consensus mentioned above is just a hidden rule. If you really tell everyone that they have no acting skills, it will arouse curiosity, and then it is not that there is no place to show their acting skills at all. After all, wearing masks does not start from beginning to end, so it may have a strong effect compared with other works.
Of course, the possibility of success is very small, very small, probably a little higher than playing a superhero and winning the best actor, but compared to the previous one, there is at least a little hope, so... do you want to take a gamble?
