America’s Big Hero

"Mr. John McTiernan, this way please. Let me introduce you. This is my boss, Sean, Mr. Sean K. Rockefeller." Norris walked away with a thin white man Come in.

"Hello, sir." Hearing the surname Rockefeller, John McTiernan unconsciously felt a little nervous. This surname means too many things in the United States.

"Hello." Sean shook hands with the other party, and looked carefully at him. He looked in his 30s and was very young. As for his appearance, he couldn't tell much.

John McTiernan graduated from Juilliard School with a major in drama and later studied photography at the American Film Institute.

This guy became famous in later generations because he directed "Predator" and "Die Hard", so Sean has a slightly vague impression.

But for now, he has only filmed commercials and has nothing to sell, so he cherishes the opportunity that a company invites him to shoot a movie this time.

After a brief chat, he took the script and read it carefully.

In Sean’s impression, many famous directors are photographers. In his memory, there are Liu Weiqiang, Du Kefeng, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Sunglasses King, etc. There are also many great directors abroad who are photographers.

After John McTiernan finished reading the script, Sean raised his priorities and requirements for the filming of the film.

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 advertising 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 some ideas on shooting, modifying Some scripts are 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 100,000 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 his 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 show."

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 waved his fists excitedly. This is because he broke away from the protection of the family and won the role with his own hands. It is strange if he is not happy.

"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 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.
