America's Big Hero

As a new director who has never made a movie before, John is very witty and has the consciousness of serving the father of the funder. He has been expressing his thoughts according to Sean's request.

When Sean said that the bank could provide the treasury, the police would act in their true colors, and he had a professional security company to cooperate with the performance, John was also taken aback.

As a commercial director, John does not have a strong pursuit of art. He knows how to attract the audience and how to shoot things to make the audience like it. He stayed in Sean's villa all day, discussing with Sean about some shooting ideas, modifying In some scripts, it is too difficult to shoot, or things that are not pleasing, in order to achieve a higher utilization rate of funds.

A commercial is only tens of seconds or less, and John also has a lot of experience in how to reduce unnecessary shooting.

Overall, Sean was very satisfied. In the evening, he directly signed a movie shooting contract with John, and the director's salary was 10 US dollars.

The director is done, and the rest is directly involved in the casting work. On the one hand, the company has its own casting director, and it has been screened for two rounds. There is much less information in front of Sean and director John.

Seeing the person who opened the door, Sean blinked in astonishment, why did this guy come?

I reached out and flipped through the information, and sure enough, I saw the name of Nicolas Cage below. He tilted his head and leaned into Norris' ear and asked, "How much does this guy get paid? Why would he want to come?"

Sean clearly remembered that this guy became the king of bad movies in the later period. Could it be that Nicolas Cage now has a bad movie system?

Or is this movie going to be popular?

"He's not paid well now." Norris gave Sean a strange look, he didn't expect Sean to know this unknown junior, "He has only starred in two movies, and the other roles depend on his uncle This guy changed his name to prove that he is indeed capable, in fact, no one in the industry knows that he is a member of the Italian gang, otherwise he would not be able to participate in so many films." Norris said with a smile.

"Maybe, it's to prove myself again, so I deliberately avoided the Italian help and went outside to accept the film, young man, I always feel that I am omnipotent."

Sean nodded and didn't say a word. Playing the second generation, it's normal to receive some criticism while starting high.

Watching Cage and John communicate, Sean suddenly interjected, "Let's have a performance."

Cage was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Sean's position was, but he dared to directly talk to the director, so he still got serious.

"Almost laughed out loud," Sean said.

Cage grinned and immediately retracted, raising his hand to cover it up.

"Fortunately, I held back."

Cage raised his hand and scratched his head.

"Finally I couldn't bear it anymore."

"Pfft." Cage twitched and grinned.

"Laugh out loud."

"Hahahahaha!" Cage opened his mouth wide and laughed loudly.

"Not bad!" Sean raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "That's the smell."

Cage put away his smiling face and looked confused, completely unaware of what was wrong with Sean.

"It's just you, I like it!" Sean pointed at Cage.

Cage immediately looked at the director with surprise on his face. Seeing that the director nodded with a smile, he immediately shook his fist in excitement. This is because he broke away from the protection of the family and won the role by himself, so it's strange if he is unhappy.

"Thank you, sir." Cage didn't know what Sean's name was, so he stood up and bowed deeply.

Sean nodded with a smile.

After Cage left, a few more came in behind, none of whom Sean was familiar with, so he didn't interrupt, and waited until a man with dyed blond hair walked in.

Sean's eyes lit up, and he flipped through the files again, and it really was him, Bruce Willis.

What made Sean funny was that Bruce Willis actually had hair at this time. It seemed that this guy hadn't realized the meaning of 'I'm stronger even when I'm bald'.

At this time, Bruce Willis was 30 years old, and he was performing plays on Broadway most of the time. Of course, he also played some extra roles in some movies. He is famous for the TV series "Blue Moonlight Detective Agency".

"Do you know why you didn't succeed until you were 30 years old?" Sean suddenly interrupted again, and John immediately shut up and looked over.

"Me?" Bruce pursed his lips and thought for a while and replied, "My acting skills are not good enough."

"Wrong!" Sean slapped the table heavily, startling everyone, "Because you haven't met the person who... shaves your hair off!"

John:? ? ?

Bruce looked around, not knowing what expression he should show at this moment, it was very convenient.

"Shave off your hair, and then this role will be yours." Sean said with a straight face.

"I..." Bruce looked at the director for help, he was completely confused now.

John didn't know what Sean was up to, but he was the patron's father, so he nodded with a smile: "Yes, I think your bald head is more in line with the temperament of the character."

"Okay, okay, sir." Bruce nodded, hesitated and asked, "Does that mean that this character..."

"Yes, come to sign the contract tomorrow." Sean made a direct decision.

Walking out of the room, Bruce still didn't react too much, he was very happy to be selected, that is, a little...

So bald.

Chapter 91: Are you serious about interviewing her?

"Sign this guy's agency contract to the company." Sean asked for a pause to call the newcomer in, and turned to Norris and said.

"Okay boss." Norris nodded. "You like him?"

"Yes, I am very optimistic about him. You can sign his agency contract for as many years as you can. You can consider the conditions yourself, but I have one requirement, that is, the liquidated damages must be set high enough." Sean emphasized.

Norris was thankful for asking 'how tall' out of his mouth.

"5000 million, 1 million is better, whatever you want." Sean said casually.

The corner of Norris's mouth twitched fiercely. The price was too insane. Director John also looked at Sean in astonishment.

Later, Sean made a noise and selected two people, namely Kiefer Sutherland, who later starred in the TV series "24 Hours of Anti-Terrorism" and James Spader of "Boston Legal".

Sean couldn't tell their names, but they had a vague impression of them as soon as they appeared in front of them.

It would be best to tell Norris to sign a brokerage contract, but it is not mandatory.

After the main roles of pros and villains were decided, the remaining one, Sean, didn't intervene anymore, and all the rights were handed over to the director John.

Norris also does not interfere with John's casting work. He does not value these so-called rights. With Sean, he does not dare to affect the filming of the film because of these things.

John is also very happy to get such a big right to direct a movie for the first time, and his motivation is unexpectedly high.

In the morning, all the male actors had a rest after the final round of interviews, and in the afternoon, the female characters in the movie were unveiled.

The whole play is a male protagonist, and the female characters are just vases here, but director John suggested changing one of the robbers' characters to a woman.

According to his words, although the simple male drama is wonderful, it always lacks some embellishments, and most of the robbers are men. It is impossible for the audience to say that they are not tired of watching it. Must be fascinating.

Sean can only say that he is worthy of being a director of commercial advertisements, and the direction of consideration is directed at the box office.

Therefore, those actresses also knew the news when they received the notice of the final round of interviews, and they were pleasantly surprised.

The preparations are also more adequate.

Before starting the interview, Norris went to Sean alone, "Boss, I have something to do."

Sean didn't speak, but just raised his chin, "Isn't there a heroine added to the movie, I have a personal introduction here."

Sean raised his eyebrows, "Relationship household? Who is it?"

"Elizabeth McGovern." Norris handed over a photo.

Yes, there is no detailed information, the actress, it is still the appearance.

"Deborah?" Sean recognized the person above at a glance, and said with some surprise: "Why, he is willing to come to a small production like ours."

No wonder Sean was surprised, he recognized this person at a glance. Deborah in "Once Upon a Time in America", Noodle's girlfriend, is a famous movie in film history. Time to go to the cinema to watch it again.

"Once Upon a Time in America" ​​is a big production costing 4000 million US dollars. The heroine in this kind of film will come to a small production like hers, what a joke.

"Why not, the box office in the U.S. used to be rotten. It stinks worse than rotten onions. The company went bankrupt within a few days of the film's release. The global box office totaled only more than 500 million US dollars. It's a terrible loss. Now the entire creative team is unlucky, Robert. Even De Niro's value has fallen, let alone Elizabeth McGovern, who urgently needs to find a movie to reverse her image." Norris said, spreading his hands.

Having said that, Sean just remembered that the American Once Upon a Time that he went to the cinema to watch a while ago was extremely awkward, and it was very different from the memory in his mind. One of the reasons for the history of vertical shadows is also its huge losses.

The 83 million US dollars in 4000 could be exchanged for more than 4 million in later generations, and the company went bankrupt on the spot.

It is very typical for a film company to smash a good hand. The director's cut version of the film is 224 minutes, and the film company's release is 135 minutes.

Looking at the photo in his hand, Sean couldn't help but see Deborah's Maiden's Dance in his mind. Thinking, thinking, Sean suddenly realized something was wrong.

The girl Deborah seems to be Jennifer Connelly, she is only... 15 years old now! ! !

Started in three years... don't think too much!

Sean immediately shook his head and raised his head, but he could be put on the reserve list.

However, the 24-year-old Elizabeth McGovern is also quite beautiful. These beauties in Hollywood were not ugly when they were young.

"Is it in time?" Sean looked up and asked.

"It's not too urgent, but..." Norris showed a wretched smile, "However, she has time at night and can arrange the interview location in your villa."

Sean:? ? ?

Are you serious about interviewing her?

Talking about the script in my villa at night, then who am I, Sean?

Absolutely cannot agree!

unless……

"You are like this, I am very embarrassed." Sean frowned, but the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

Norris understood at a glance, "Boss, I hope you can give her a chance."

"Okay... let's go." Sean agreed with embarrassment. It seems that he has to work overtime at night, but in order for the first film to be successful, he can only do what he can.

I went out with Norris, and it was the actress interview session in the afternoon.

I have to say that Hollywood gathers beauties from all over the world, and the quality is really much higher than that in Newark!

Anyone who jumps out at random is more beautiful than a golf coach. When one of the actresses comes in, Sean froze for a moment, carefully distinguishing, isn't this Superman?

To be precise, it’s the fucking young version of Superman. He lowered his head and looked through his resume. The actor’s name is Diane Lane. He started acting in stage plays in his teens. He participated in the Shakespeare Festival in New York. He acted in movies at the age of 10 and 13. In 14, he appeared on the cover of "Time Magazine". In 83, he played "Betta Fish" with Nicolas Cage, and in 84, he starred in two more movies.

Norris noticed that Sean was staring at Diane Lane in a daze, and immediately leaned over and said, "Diane just broke up with rock star Jon Bon Jovi."

Sean turned his head and glanced at Norris, no, what do you mean by telling me this?

Does breaking up have anything to do with me?

But...it's really beautiful!

Sean was slightly dazed.

When interviewing the actress, he didn't make a decision directly. John asked everyone to go back and wait for the news. After all, the competition for who to choose in the end is not only in the interview...

In the end, John picked a few he was satisfied with and handed the list to Sean, and the rest depended on Sean's wishes.

Chapter 92: Interview

As night fell, at around 8 o'clock in the evening, a car drove into Sean's villa, the door opened, and a woman in a white dance dress got out of the car, and walked into the gate of Sean's villa under the guidance of Norris. .

Xiao En's eyes lit up when Elizabeth entered the door. He really didn't expect that Elizabeth was wearing the dance dress in the plot tonight.

This guy Norris is really not a fucking decent person!

In ancient times, it was definitely a talent that kilometers needed!

"Beautiful Miss Deborah, nice to meet you." Sean entered the scene very quickly, and as he spoke, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Sean." Elizabeth blushed after taking a look at Sean, as if she was a little shy, and spoke in a low voice.

It's not that she hasn't seen handsome guys, Hollywood handsome guys are everywhere, but among the bosses or high-level executives of major film companies, handsome guys are really rare to see, either old men or potbellied guys.

Elizabeth's agent didn't follow and sent the person to him. Norris had successfully completed the task, and said wittily: "Boss, I'm sorry, the company still needs to be busy. If you have no other orders, then I will I bid farewell."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, let's go back." Sean said with a smile after giving Norris a look of approval.

Norris looked at Elizabeth, "Miss Deborah, then I will take my leave first."

After leaving the door, Norris punched hard for a while. It was his idea to ask Elizabeth to change her costume. The agent of the other party searched for it all afternoon. Sure enough, the boss liked this tune very much.

The door of the villa was closed, and Sean looked at Elizabeth and asked with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"

"coffee?"

"Sorry, no." Sean shrugged.

"black tea?"
