After receiving the message, he looked at it, hung up the phone, and started the car.

507. Why are the flowers so red?

On the second day, Rocca participated in the audition for the movie "Everybody's Superman". The audition went well, but the result is unknown.

It is said that Jim Carrey, Will Smith, Ben Affleck, Jimmy Fox and others have also received invitations, and he has no hope for this role.

In mid-November, the crew of "Taken" finished filming scenes in Los Angeles, and then moved to Paris, France. Rocca followed the crew and did not return to Los Angeles until early December.

"Do you have to work so hard as a billionaire?"

On the beach in Malibu, Ed hands over a bottle of beer.

"Do you think I think so? I signed a contract with Tom Cruise in 03, and I had to work as a screenwriter on the set. Otherwise, even if I broke the contract, the liquidated damages would be $100 million. I had no choice but to go to work."

Roca sighed.

"Is 100 million considered money to you?"

"Doesn't it count? My money is hard earned, and every penny is condensed with my blood and sweat, so I will never waste my money lightly."

"You're so picky!"

Ed shook his head.

Luo Ka laughed and touched the wine bottle with him. Although he suffered a disadvantage as a screenwriter this time, he also learned a lot.

"Taken" is a big production, and Tom Cruise is an extremely strict producer. He has been on the crew for more than a month, and he knows what a big production is all about.

"Ed, what are you looking for me for today? Let's talk about it before I finish my work. I'm going to take a break and spend time with my children. Don't look for me for a job with an income of less than 1000 million."

Rocca sipped his beer and said.

"Okay, the results of the audition for "Superman" are out, since you don't want to know, then forget it."

Ed spread his hands and left with a beer.

Roca looked at him and ignored him. The sun was just right, so why not get more sun.

"Huh~ You really don't want to know the result?"

Ed took a few steps, then walked back sternly.

"I really don't want to, because I already guessed the result, it must have failed, right? It is said that Will Smith had the last laugh."

Rocca looked at the sun in the sky with the goggles on, feeling warm all over his body.

"You guessed right, and you guessed wrong."

Ed laughed.

"Huh? What do you mean? Don't tell me I got the heroine."

"Haha, of course not, you got the male number two, the role of Superman image public relations, how is it, are you surprised or not?"

Ed grinned through his brilliant white teeth.

"Male number two? Fuck, no wonder the last time they auditioned, they just asked me to act casually. I thought I was auditioning for the male lead, but I didn't expect it to be the male number two. I just pushed the number, I'm not interested in supporting roles."

Rocca waved his hand and took another sip of cold beer.

"Don't rush to refuse. This is a big production. Your salary is 150 million yuan, which is higher than your previous salary as a leading actor. You are willing to work as a screenwriter on the crew for more than a month for 100 million liquidated damages. In case you are not moved?"

Ed said.

"150 million? Has my salary increased so quickly?"

Rocca was a little surprised.

"Yes, after the last crisis, your popularity has reached a very high level. Almost no one in the United States does not know you. According to this popularity, if you are not a Brazilian, you can step into the A-level You are in the ranks of stars, but you did not take on the show outside in the second half of the year, and the salary remains the same."

"Is that so? Is someone willing to invite me to be the male lead with a B+ salary?"

"Emm~ not yet!"

"What kind of A-level actor is that, is it priceless?"

Rocca smiled lightly.

"But the crew of "Everybody's Superman" gave you the salary of a B+ actor, how can you say that it is priceless?"

"That's just a supporting role, and that's fine. I'm not interested in supporting roles, or I'm not interested in supporting roles in this kind of commercial film. One of them has too few roles, and playing this kind of role can't add much color to my resume. I don't care about the two. There is a lack of roles, and there is no shortage of money, so it’s okay.”

"Okay, okay, you are the boss and you have the final say, to be honest, I never thought that you would become a billionaire before, and I never thought that I would be a billionaire as an agent, so we should seriously Let’s talk about your future work plan.”

Ed said.

Roca nodded, "Sure, my workload will be reduced accordingly in the future. First, I have children. You know, four children. I need to spend more time with them as they grow up."

"Understood, I didn't expect you to have children so early, or four children, you are always unexpected."

Ed spread his hands.

"You should have thought of it a long time ago, after all, I am so bothered."

"Generally speaking, a philandering man would never have a child so early, but you are a different kind."

"That's right, because I'm not an ordinary person."

Rocca smiled, and said, "Second, I have several companies in my hands, and I need to spend some time every year to solve the company's problems."

"So being an actor became a part-time job?"

"Of course not. What I'm talking about is that besides acting, I have other jobs. Movies are still my main business. It's just that the time spent on movies every year is not as rich as before, and the reduction of time has brought another The new question—how can we create better results in a limited time? That is to carefully select roles, step by step, as I said, my goal is to become a superstar and win the Oscar for Best Actor.”

Ed shook his head, "You think so beautifully, it is possible to become a superstar, after all, you are so rich, business superstars are no less famous than entertainment stars, such as Bill Gates and Jobs.

But Oscar winner, forget about it, I don't think the Oscar Academy group would throw the Oscar winner's laurel award to a super rich man, or a foreigner, it feels like awarding the Golden Boot to Jobs, you What do other players think? "

Rocca laughed, "Ed, your analogy is too much. An actor can be a president. What's wrong with me taking the Oscar winner? Don't be too pessimistic. We only need to do our part well, and the rest will be handed over to the Oscar Academy. up.

If I perform particularly well and they don’t give me an Oscar, people in the future will say that Oscar owes Rocca a statuette, or that in the era Rocca lived, he was the person who deserved the best actor Oscar, but it’s a pity that he didn’t Get it, then he is the uncrowned king.

See, fans will do us justice if we do well. "

Ed sighed, "Your confidence is beyond my imagination."
