611. Chapter 611 The situation on both sides
"No, no, dear John, I have never thought about this," in the lively hall, Sean smiled and shook his head at the middle-aged man in front of him. "In my opinion, things have passed, and no matter how entangled, they cannot change the facts. So, instead of being dissatisfied and angry, it is better to look forward. Anyway, as long as I can do my best every time, I will get my own honor one day, right?"
"You surprised me, Sean," the middle-aged man named John blinked, "You are very talented, to be honest, I have seen most of your works, and I deny that some of them are at a glance, but you still impressed me. You are still so modest and full of wisdom. There are really not many young people like you."
Apparently, Sean impressed him with a deep and good impression, so the conversation was pleasant from beginning to end.
"Did he vote back to vote for me?" After separation, Sean asked Frederick, who was with him.
"You'll definitely do it well, Sean, exactly what we designed for you." The agent shrugged, "You should see that guy has a very good impression of you."
"Why didn't we lobby him last year?" Sean couldn't help asking.
"You just said don't care about the past." Frederick immediately reminded.
Sean raised his eyebrows, didn't answer, just looked at him, and after a while, he raised his hand to surrender.
"Well, you also know that the academy members, even the core members, have more than 1,000 members. According to the law, public relations can only lobby one person at a time." Frederick sighed, "Although we started to prepare before this, it was not Weinstein after all. It was normal for people to have omissions that had accumulated over decades."
Then he got closer and lowered his voice: "You should know that last year when we canvassed for Milk, Frank Lane was warned and also disqualified from participating in the awards ceremony."
"I know," Sean narrowed his eyes, "because he criticized other movies in an email to the judges and persuaded them to vote for "Milke", it violated the principle of fairness."
"Yes, that's it. Although we all know that everyone canvasses for movies, in order to show their fairness, the film school always finds one or two unlucky guys every year." Frederick said, shrugging, "However, last year Frank was probably plotted. Generally, the film school would recruit unlucky guys, and it would make a statement as soon as public opinion appeared, and last year it was two days late."
"So you were a little restrained at that time?" Sean asked immediately.
"I prefer to use the word caution." Frederick spread his hands, "Okay, Sean, it's all over, let's look forward, I believe this year I will definitely get you a bargaining chip that is worth enough."
"I hope so." Sean didn't mention it again.
Then, Emma, who was attending the party together, came over: "Shawn."
She called out and looked at Frederick. The agent raised his hands with a wink, "You guys talk, I'll leave first."
"Is there anything wrong?" Sean asked Emma after Frederick had walked a distance.
"Hazanavicius called. Since you have nothing more to do tomorrow, he hopes you can continue to go to the set, and if you can complete the filming in advance, you can also do post-production faster. In addition, they gave up the idea of giving the hero and heroine a hint of a hint, so the hero is George, George Valentine from now on, and the heroine is now called Perpi and Perpi Miller." Emma said quickly, and there was no expression on her cute freckled face as usual.
"Living Miller?" Sean showed an inquiring look.
"Yes, lively Miller, it is said that this was suggested by Mr. Director's wife, Ms. Begenice Becho." Emma shrugged.
"Ha, is he trying to use this method to leave a trace for his wife?" Sean quipped.
Emma still had a blank expression: "Hazanavicius said that if you don't like it, you can discuss it with him again."
"There's nothing to discuss," Shawn waved his hand. "Since you don't need to have a suggestive name, then let him go. Giving his wife a trace is not a big deal."
Michael Hazanavicius's wife, Bergenis Beggio, is also an actor. She was born in Buenos Aires in 1976 and returned to France at the age of 3. Her father is a producer, so she has also started performing since she was a child. However, most of them are French movies, and the most well-known international work is about 2001, "The Knight of the Holy War" starring Heath Ledger.
She married Hazanavicius in 2006 and lived together until now. The reason why she had a dispute over the heroine was not only that Naomi was indeed in height, Hazanavicius hoped to use his wife was also one of the reasons. Sean had previously guessed that he wanted to use a French actress, but he didn't know that he actually wanted his wife.
After all, this is a Hollywood-produced movie that is used to hit major awards, especially the Oscars. You can guess this with a little thought. If you can play the main role in such a movie, once the movie succeeds, you will have rich gains.
You know, although Bergenice has played a role in "The Knights of the Holy War", she is just a small role, otherwise she would not have worked hard in the French entertainment industry. Marion Cotillard, Eva Green, and even Sophie Marceau, who was earlier, are all very eye-catching in Hollywood.
Unfortunately, this movie is not Hazanavicius's, he doesn't have much say, and Sean has a candidate for his own, so he can only say sorry to his wife.
However, in order to make him feel at ease in charge of the guide, Weinstein came forward and promised to give his wife a good role, so this matter passed. As for the name given to the heroine by his wife, it was nothing.
As for why the male and female protagonists only have names now, it is because Sean and Weinstein both believe that since it is a love letter to Oscars and a nostalgic silent film, although all the characters are fictional, the background is real, and Sean is also made up similar to Clark Gable. Then it is OK to give the male and female protagonist a name that has a golden age actor-like appearance, or even further hint, or remind the audience of some big-name stars at that time.
However, this question seems simple, but it is actually difficult to operate. First of all, because Sean's appearance and makeup are close to Clark Gable, it is impossible to be hinted as another actor. Of course, it may also deliberately imply as another actor, but it is difficult to say what the effect will be.
Then there is the heroine. It is easy for Naomi to suggest that some actresses in the Golden Age are blond, but the question is which one is suitable? It is definitely not possible for those who are too far away, but those who are too close are also inappropriate.
Although there is no definite evidence, there have been rumors that Clark Gable and Mary Bickfort had a dispute. Even when Gable filmed his first movie, Bickfort was about to retire. If not, it would be fine, but if it was true, who would know if he would encounter some people’s discomfort?
Although the crew took the scene in the villa where Mary Bikefu once lived, and in the movie, it was the residence of the heroine after she became famous, and even the bed was lived in the movie, it was two different things to film the scene in the movie, it was said that the heroine was Bikefu.
So it became a problem to choose a suitable name for the male and female protagonists. The Golden Age is too far away from the present, and some things are unverified. Many of them are good words. If you really want to find the real situation between the lines, you don’t know how much effort it will take.
So after using the male and female protagonists as a subtitle for a while and discussed countless times, everyone finally gave up this unrealistic idea. Fortunately, this is a silent film, otherwise they would not know how much time and energy would be wasted.
"Is there anything else?" Sean asked again at this time.
"Of course," Emma raised her eyebrows, "Naomi called and asked when you would go back, and then Katie called and asked when you would come over, and said...Suri missed you."
"Well..." Sean first showed a choked expression, and then showed a puzzled look, "Did they call directly? Didn't they send a text message first?"
"Naomi called directly, Katie sent several text messages before calling." Emma shrugged.
Sean grabbed his head and was about to speak, Emma spoke again, this time with a smile on her face: "Also, on the other phone, Black Lively sent a text message asking you when you have time to go to her place to check it out."
Sean immediately laughed dryly and pinched his nose awkwardly. Black was so impatient, because of Liton, who successfully won the Golden Globe Award and Oscar nomination for "Child Abuse".
Although Sean helped, her own efforts also made great contributions. For some people, sometimes it is really necessary to prove themselves just one opportunity, especially this opportunity is not easy.
As mentioned earlier, she worked very hard on the set of "Child Abuse" and was very good at being a good person. Both the director and the two leading actors Hoffman and Streep praised her. Although her performance in the movie was a little too much, it was still okay to get a nomination. Moreover, for Lidon, who is currently mostly idol actors, even if it is just a nomination, it is enough for her to have the capital to be proud.
Naturally, as a competitor, Black, who had just held Sean's thigh first, felt that the crisis was certain, so it was not surprising that he called to compete for favor at this time. She also starred in a movie with his recommendation, and naturally hoped that she would be like Litton at this time next year, and that if she wanted to achieve this goal, she could not do without Sean's support.
But, I just sent a text message, but I just handed it to Emma on my phone. This is... Although Emma knew about his messy things, she never gave him a good face, so it is understandable that she made this expression now, just...
"Well, I'll reply them as soon as possible," Sean shrugged first, and then leaned closer, "How do you think I should reply?"
"That's your business." Emma took a step back without moving, then turned around and left, not even giving him a chance to speak.
