Hollywood superstar XX history [travel]

"Anglee." Vogt poked his head, "This name sounds familiar."

Lance leaned on the seat of the Cadillac and looked down at the documents. Hearing this, his eyes glanced at Vogt over the lens: "You have said this sentence more than once. I know, this is a Chinese, pay attention, no Chinese, a Chinese immigrated to the United States, a director, is very rare in Hollywood. But believe me, he is a very talented director, otherwise wma would not have signed him. In 1985, when he was still unknown. I I hope you're not racist, if you are, you'd better fix it, or at least never show it."

"Comeon, Lance, I still have a quarter of Chinese blood, and it was given to me by my favorite mother, even if I discriminate against Germans-you have to admit that sometimes they are so serious and rigid that they are annoying, absolutely I don’t discriminate against Chinese people.” Vogt yelled, “I’m serious, I think I’ve heard this name before, Li, An.” Vogt said the last two words in Chinese, very well-spoken Mandarin.

"Maybe it's the same name and surname. Chinese names always have the same pronunciation. You can speak Chinese well. You can communicate with Li in the language of his motherland, which will deepen his impression of you." Lance said thoughtfully, "This is an advantage, and we are one step closer to Ennis Del Mar."

They were on their way to audition for Brokeback Mountain.Originally, "Brokeback Mountain" was expected to start filming in mid-June, but it was repeatedly postponed due to various reasons, among which the lack of director and actors was a crucial reason.Of course, it reminds me that the screenplay of "Brokeback Mountain" had been adapted as early as 1997, but it was rejected numerous times because the subject matter was too sensitive. Now, with great difficulty, Focus Pictures, a subsidiary of Universal, decided to produce it, and Paramount agreed to release it. Given a relatively generous budget of 1400 million yuan, it is still difficult to start filming, and the news has to be carefully avoided to leak, so as not to provoke conservatives and anti-gay religious figures. The dilemma faced by the crew seems not so incomprehensible.

Speaking of which, it was thanks to Vogt that he was able to get in halfway.Heath Ledger, who was originally favored to play Ennis Del Mar, was full of hesitation about participating. First, because his debut role was a gay character in a TV series, which caused him a lot of criticism and was repeatedly suspected of being a As a homosexual, in order to reverse his image, he has to develop himself in a tougher direction, which can be described as endless troubles.You know, after the news that another actor, Jake Gyllenhaal, who played Jack Twist, appeared in "Brokeback Mountain", Hollywood has decided that he made the most stupid decision and asserted that his career It will be over.Secondly, in 2002 and 2003, Heath Ledger's career gradually turned into a trough. After the adjustment, he took on three movies in one go. If he took on "Brokeback Mountain", the number would increase to four. Extremely nervous, compared to appearing in another film that is destined to be controversial and will definitely not win awards, it is directed by the famous director Lesser Hallstrom, who has been nominated for major awards, and the legendary French movie star Alain Del has also played The leading actor's movie "Casanova" obviously deserves more attention from Heath Ledger and his agency.And the schedule of this movie conflicts with "Brokeback Mountain".

The crew of "Brokeback Mountain" with pre-preparation in place cannot wait for him endlessly.Heath Ledger still couldn't get an answer within the deadline, and the crew had to re-audit for the role immediately.

To get a role, the opinions of director Ang Lee, producer James Shams, another protagonist Jake Gyllenhaal, and Paramount's honorary producer Michael Costigan are crucial. important.Among them, Michael Costigan is the easiest to conquer, because Michael Clark has a good friendship with him-no one can count how many "Michael" Michael Clark has friendship with, and he always prefers the same "Michael" Therefore, when he was young, he often gathered all kinds of "Michael" around him.The second is James Shams. Lance has worked with him and knows that he is not difficult to please, but he respects the director's opinion more than the average producer, especially Ang Lee's opinion. He and Ang Lee have already It's an old couple.Jack Gyllenhaal's reputation is also good, his personality is a bit similar to Vogt's, very close to the character of his character Jack Twist.Only Ang Lee, although one of WMA's contract clients, Lance hadn't had much contact with him.Ang Lee has the kind of low-key, introverted, gentle and alienated that Westerners can't understand.

Lance hopes that Vogt will not do any inappropriate behavior in front of Ang Lee. Of course, it is best to please Ang Lee.

However, the development of things later was obviously beyond Lance's imagination.

When Vogt and Lance arrived at the audition, the mood wasn't great.Director Ang Lee, producer James Shams, another protagonist Jake Gyllenhaal, Paramount's honorary producer Michael Costigan, all these important characters appeared, and even Heath Ledger They are all there, Ang Lee is talking to him. Judging from his body language, Ang Lee is very patient, speaking fast and persuasively, as if trying to persuade Heath Ledger to act at the last moment, and Heath Ledger His expression became more and more struggling.Michael Costigan remained silent with a sullen face, casting displeased glances at Ang Lee and Heath Ledger from time to time.James Shams looked at Michael Costigan, then turned to Ang Li, showing a helpless expression to Ang Li.

All in all, the tide seems to be headed against Vogt.

Lance Clark's heart sank slightly, but a happy and enthusiastic smile appeared on his face, ready to greet everyone——

"Unclelee!" Vogt said in a low and surprised voice, one step ahead of him!

His voice has always been penetrating and contagious. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present subconsciously looked at him, including Ang Lee.

"Vogt?" Li An's upright face flashed surprise, seeing Lance beside Vogt, he thought of something, immediately frowned, and stared at Vogt: "The 'surprise' that Michael said turned out to be you."

Vogt's tall and tall figure couldn't help flinching: "well, well, unclelee, I can explain, I didn't know the director was you..."

"Is it okay if it's someone else?" Li An switched to speaking in Chinese, his voice was not high, but he was stern, "Do your parents know what you're doing?"

Vogt's amber eyes began to move sideways.

Ang Li's face sank: "Come out with me!" He nodded to the others and said in English: "Sorry, please give me some time to deal with private matters."

This sudden turn of events was very unexpected, and everyone showed doubts.James Shams stared at Vogt. He understood Ang Lee's temper. The number of times this nice man lost his temper outside the set was very few. Unless it's a very close person, he doesn't know when such a handsome young man came out of the Li family!

Lance clenched his hands into fists and put them around his mouth, hiding the smile that was unconsciously overflowing from his lips.Because the appearance of Vogt being screwed out by Ang Lee is very similar to a dejected Alaska...

Ang Lee took Vogt to a cubicle, closed the door and asked seriously: "Vogt, I remember you are not full yet!"

"It's past, my birthday is in March," Vogt said immediately.He tried his best to put on an innocent face, but in his heart he shouted bad luck!

He said, why is the name "Li An" so familiar!It turned out to be the unclelee he had been yelling since he was a child, his uncle!The only reason is that when I saw Ang Lee when I was a child, the adults called him Unclelee, and most of the adults usually called Ang Lee Lee. As time went by, Vogt didn't remember Unclelee's full name was Ang Lee!

In fact, although Vogt calls Ang Lee his uncle, he has no blood relationship with Ang Lee and his wife, Huijia Lin, whom he calls "aunt".However, Vogt’s mother Anne Peston and Lin Huijia are good sisters. They lived in the same dormitory when they were studying at the University of Illinois in the United States. By coincidence, Lin Huijia and Anne Peston’s Chinese names are only one character apart. They all thought it was a fate bestowed on them by God, and the two girls who were equally lively and lovely soon became good friends.Although Anne Peston married Vogt's father Helmut Feist soon after graduating from university and moved to Germany, the two good sisters never lost contact. Sometimes Anne Peston returned to the United States to visit relatives. Will meet with Lin Huijia.Vogt visited the Lee family in the United States when he was a child, and fought with the children of Ang Lee and Huijia Lin.During the most difficult days of the Li family, Anne Peston once helped them.Every year, the Pfister family receives Christmas presents from the Li family.So even though they seldom meet each other, the children of the Pfister family know that the Li family is their family's friends.

In Vogt’s memory, he has always been deeply impressed by this uncle Lee, who has met with only a handful of times, except that his mother occasionally mentioned that "gentle, thoughtful, and affectionate" Lee is the most in line with the image of Prince Charming in her mind It's a pity that the man who is already her good sister can't think about it, which caused his father to hum heavily. Vogt never got cheap from unclelee. Unclelee always smiles, and there is a very kind face Dimples, but what he wanted Vogt to do, he could always make him obey, so that Vogt started to piss when he saw him later-he was even his stern father Helmut Fiss People who are not afraid!

Vogt slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face.

When Li An heard that Vogt had become an adult, his stern expression eased a bit: "Tell me what's going on? I remember Hui Jia said that you never wanted to be an actor."

Vogt had no choice but to briefly talk about his experience after he ran away from home. Except for his ex-boyfriend and current lover, he has no courage to hide other things. Ang Lee is a client of WMA. If he confronts Lance, he will have nothing to hide It's out of shape - Li Ang's affairs are in every detail, he will definitely do it!

Ang Li frowned tightly: "They are really..." He is a very cultivated person. Vogt was kicked out of the house, dared to use a fake ID card to wander around, and was inseparable from his grandfather and father. Ann disapproved of their treatment of their children, but she also disliked judging them.

"Uncle, can't I act in your movie?" Vogt asked pitifully.
