569. Chapter 569 Negotiation
After spending nearly three days on the set of "The Strange Things of Benjamin Button", playing several plots, and cooperating with the help of leaving a lot of facial data, Sean returned to Los Angeles.
"The Dark Knight" is the main job now, and Katie's anger should be almost gone now, so it's time to go back and consolidate it.
Sean finally didn't ask Kate what she had trouble speaking now, not because she felt it was difficult to speak, but because she forgot.
When "Elizabeth I" or "Queen Gellandriel" put down his figure and blew the trumpet for him with a reserved and elegant look, the feeling of excitement was unparalleled, and all the problems were left behind.
As for whether Kate did it on purpose, whether he realized it and wanted to use this method to divert attention, Sean didn't even think about it. He and Kate were teased for almost all night, and almost found out when they woke up in the morning. Because of this, there was something that both of them ignored, so a long time later, Kate was depressed again.
Of course, there are things to pay attention to now, and it is easy for Katie to settle it, but the matter about Suri's exposure has to be postponed. I originally planned to continue the exposure of Naomi and Alexander, and use this period of time and several major media honeymoon periods to settle everything.
But Katie only now knows that Sean already had a child before this. Although he was coaxed, he said that he was unwilling to be exposed at this time, so the follow-up plan had to be postponed.
So Sean focused on filming "The Dark Knight", because one of the most important rivalries in the whole movie was about to begin.
"You just refuse to let me die, right? This is really no matter what you do, I don't act... You are really an incorruptible person? You won't kill me because you have a dislocated sense of self-righteousness. And I won't kill you because I have endless fun fighting with you. I guess we are destined to be like this for the rest of our lives." The clown hanging upside down said loudly, his crazy expression as usual.
"You can take it in a psychiatric hospital for the rest of your life." Batman stood in front of him and said coldly in a deliberately lowered voice.
"I can share half of your room. Look, there are more and more madmen in this city, and sooner or later there will be a day when the two of them live together." The clown licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue indifferently.
"This city has just been shown to you. There are still many people who believe in justice!" Batman said coldly.
Although this sentence was short and he was wearing a mask, he clearly expressed the calm and angry but unshakable meaning with his pinched fists, his erect body and slightly raised chin.
But the clown didn't care, but laughed proudly: "When their spiritual pillar collapses, there will be no more. When they see a real Harvey Dent, and his 'heroic deeds' - you don't think that the battle involving the 'Soul of Gotham' will be placed on your punches and kicks, right?"
"Very good, that's it." The director's voice rang out at this time, and it was called to stop. The machine had not completely stopped running, and the staff had not yet come back to their senses, so they clapped their hands and applauded.
With him taking the lead, the others clapped their hands, and the applause sounded.
Sean, who took off his helmet, sighed lightly and then clenched his fists happily. He was quite satisfied with his performance, and Christopher's attitude also showed that this opponent's scene satisfies him.
However, when Sean followed him to the monitor and looked at it, he began to be uncertain. No one was there. Although he performed well, when the camera was facing him, because the light source was on the side, his right eye was slightly narrowed, so the feeling he showed was not as much as the scene.
But the clown is different. They are basically positive images. In addition, they don’t need to shrink their hands and feet when performing, but instead appear very tense. In this way, coupled with the post-production editing, I’m afraid I will have to be compared.
"Do you just like clowns so much, Christo?" Sean couldn't help asking.
"Of course, the Joker can show more than Batman, right?" Christopher laughed, as if saying: Do you have jealous times?
"There is no need to do this, right? Look at the script, the clown is already powerful enough. As long as it is what he wants to do, there is nothing he can't do." Sean pretended to be unheard and continued to complain.
"Then you can treat him as the protagonist in the second part." Christopher shrugged.
Sean rolled his eyes and suddenly lost his words. He looked at Heath Ledger who was resting in the distance, and then suddenly asked: "Heath is indeed very outstanding, but... how is he doing recently?"
"What's wrong?" Christopher looked over after hearing this.
"I'm just a little worried, you know, once the actors get too deeply involved, it's easy to get depressed, and at this time most people like to use marijuana or even a little more exciting stuff to recover," Sean said.
"You really have a deep understanding." Christopher said half-jokingly. As he has been working hard in Hollywood for several years and can be regarded as a success, he naturally has some understanding of these things.
"I hardly smoke marijuana," Shaun shrugged, "I have other ways to solve this problem."
Christopher opened his mouth, obviously trying to ask what it was, but he was also a smart man. He thought of it when he turned his head and immediately patted his shoulder and left.
Sean shrugged again, then walked towards Heath Ledger. He sat silently in his seat, occasionally drinking a few sips of water, his eyes floating wherever he was.
"Hey, Heath, are you okay?" Sean said hello.
The other party raised his head in surprise, then clicked, but did not speak. His dull appearance and the clown costume that had not yet been washed off made him look a little weird.
"But you don't look... very good." Sean asked, gestured.
"Is that so what do I have to do to make myself look good?" Ledger sighed, then spread his hands open.
"How about standing up and singing a song?" Sean smiled.
"Forget it." Ledger quickly raised his hand and paused, then he said again: "Listen, Sean, I know you care about me, and I am grateful, but please let me adjust myself quietly now, okay?"
"No problem!" Sean said immediately, then turned around and left.
Well, it seems that he is not bad now. Maybe because of some changes, he will not be depressed. Sean thought so, and then he was blocked by Emma.
"Harvey Weinstein just called and asked when will you be free?" The girl still looked cold.
"Well... Jude has a party here tonight. If he has time, he will come here." After slashing his head, Sean didn't say anything else. He was used to Emma's expression. Anyway, as long as she didn't resign.
"Forget it, I'll call him." Without waiting for Emma to speak, Sean said again, then reached out to grab the phone.
Even if Emma has not resigned, it would be nothing to coax when she should and when she can.
As for Weinstein, what else can he do when he calls is nothing more than a movie, either asking him to play the leading role or asking him to invest, that's all.
"This is not an ordinary script, it is an adaptation of a script that has won both Pulitzer and Tony Awards. Since it can cause such a sensation as a drama, it will inevitably have a selling point to make it into a movie." When Weinstein said this, behind him was the noisy crowd and the sound of music that sounded from time to time.
But he turned a deaf ear and just looked at Sean, waiting for his answer.
"Is that true?" Sean looked outside and answered without comment. The swimming pool was also surrounded by people, and it was very lively.
Although he and Jude have never worked together again, they usually have many contacts. In addition, Weinstein and Jude have a good relationship, so it is appropriate to have an appointment at this party to discuss. Moreover, since Weinstein took the initiative to call, Sean needs to take care of it.
"Of course, I can be sure." Weinstein shrugged, not caring about his pretending attitude. Sean is a big shot now and is qualified to put on airs.
"Or you want to tell me that you don't like this script, and if you say that, I'll give up immediately." Weinstein took him all over the army.
Of course, Sean can say that the script is not very good, but that is equivalent to talking lies with his eyes open. Even ordinary producers know that a script that has won the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Prize is definitely worth adapting into a movie. What's more, he is a person who claims to be outstanding in Hollywood and has almost never seen it. Besides, Sean has roughly understood this story after receiving a call from Weinstein, and his intuition is indeed telling Sean that he can give it a try.
"Okay, just say it straight, is Miramax interested in this script?" Sean asked very directly.
"I suggest you use Jon, Gordon or Disney as a substitute for that word." Weinstein said with some displeasure.
Jon Gordon is the current head of Miramax, and Weinstein obviously cares about this film company he founded and developed, even if it no longer belongs to him.
"Just say it straight, Harvey, yes, or no?" Sean was too lazy to argue about this.
"Yes, you've got it right, MEI... The film company still has some influence, even if Disney's support continues to decline." Weinstein sighed, "They've got a fancy to this script and are planning to invite Philip Seymer Hoffman as the leading actor."
"Do you think you can influence him through my relationship with Philip, and then you can take the opportunity to start from another direction?" Sean asked immediately.
"Yes, that's it." Weinstein nodded violently.
"Don't you think you've taken too much advantage?" Sean asked with a smile.
"Don't forget, you owe me a movie." Weinstein said dissatisfied.
"If you ask me for it, you shouldn't say this." Sean called haha.
Chapter completed!
