Movie Master

Looking at the serious Lance in front of him, Ben paused for a moment, then waved his hand, showed a big smile, and shook his head nonchalantly, "Why are you so serious? I know you're joking, we all know that, An actor's job is to perform, so you don't need to repeat orders..."

"Are you sure you know this?" Lance interrupted Ben and said with a smile. Just one sentence made Ben choke - Lance was questioning Ben's acting skills, although Ben himself Since he appeared on the big screen, his acting skills have been criticized by people, and the news media likes to constantly mock his facial paralyzed acting skills; The time froze, and his face became ugly.

However, Lance didn't care, he continued without any pause, "I'm not joking. I need you to read the script carefully, study the characters carefully, and I need you to complete the job of an actor!" As for " Brilliant," Lance never imagined that he could be a great actor, so he didn't even mention the polite words.

As an actor, Ben's performance can be said to be disastrous. Last year, he starred in three works. The "Mandarin Duck Kidnapper" starring Jennifer Lopez was called the worst movie ever. The whole of Hollywood was troubled; starring in the comic book hero movie "Daredevil" was considered a complete disaster; Wu/Yu/Sen's "Memory Rift" completely killed the Chinese director's future in Hollywood.

Therefore, Lance needs to be serious and take it seriously. But since the audition today, Ben has always been careless, glib, and absent-minded, which made Lance quite sniffy.

In fact, now Ben's career as an actor has entered a bottleneck. Since breaking up with Jennifer at the beginning of the year, Ben has no chance to hype the scandal, and has almost completely fallen into a state of dead silence. As a solid actor who has been in Hollywood for ten years, Ben is still very competent as a vase, but now the innovative artist agency sells him to the crew of "Sin City" as a package business, which shows that he is now bad situation. But Ben still didn't know it.

Faced with Lance's blunt and forceful confrontation, Ben's expression suddenly dropped, "What do you mean!"

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't intend to continue entangled with Ben, but raised his eyes to the man sitting next to him - that was Ben's manager Mark Johnson (Mark-Johnson). Sure enough, Mark leaned forward, blocked Ben's impulsive body calmly, suppressed Ben's anger, showed a friendly smile on his face, and said without being humble, "I think, our ultimate goal It's all the same, there's no need for a war of words, is there?"

Worthy of being the representative of the Creative Artists Agency, with a simple sentence, they each hit 50 big boards. They maintained the original and condemned Lance quietly, and at the same time brought the topic back.

The arc of Lance's mouth rose slightly, like the sea breeze in a summer afternoon, light and refreshing, and the mixed emotions in his smile were worth a thousand words, making the two men sitting opposite each other feel their chests suddenly constricted. Raising his eyebrows, he wanted to get angry, but Mark still got stuck, and once again forcibly suppressed Ben.

Lance didn't seem to notice the reaction of the two people at all. He turned his head to look at Cole, and Cole pushed the two documents on the table over. Lance explained, "One is the script, and the other is the script." It’s a basic introduction to Dwight.” Then Lance looked at Ben, “This is a very interesting role, if you want, you can play it freely according to your own understanding, as far as I know, writing scripts is what you are good at yes, isn't it?"

This sentence calmed down Ben's emotions a little, and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, but he suppressed it immediately. Even so, the unconcealable pride leaked from the bottom of his eyes - when Ben and Matt - Damon was only 25 years old when he teamed up to win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. This is indeed the capital of his pride.

So, Ben brought the script over, flipped through it casually, and slowly leaned back in the chair, with a confident attitude revealed between his gestures, "This is very interesting, you stand alone for the role." Wrote a small script. Maybe this collaboration will be fun."

Lance felt Ben's sense of superiority, even a sense of condescending authority, but he didn't mind. He doesn't mind if the partner has a personality, as long as the other person's personality doesn't affect the overall interests. If Ben could fill the role of Dwight, and even write an interesting backstory for Dwight, then Lance wouldn't try to beat Ben's sense of entitlement.

Lance shrugged and followed Ben's words, "Of course, I'm already looking forward to how you'll tell Dwight's story." These words greatly satisfied Ben's self-confidence, and his expression stretched Opened up—although the changes are still not big, Mark sitting next to him is also a little more relaxed, "However, the script is still in a state of secrecy at present, so don't disclose any information about the script."

As soon as Lance changed the subject, he became serious. Even with a smile on his lips, the seriousness and sternness in his eyes could hardly be concealed.

Ben frowned, curled his lips in disdain, "The comics of 'Sin City' are not secret, as long as you want to read them, you can read them in comic book stores now." It means that secret scripts are useless at all merit.

Lance raised his right hand to support his chin. His slender fingers slowly extended along the curve of his chin, elegant and charming. His deep eyes were as resolute as a cliff rock, vicissitudes and hard. "The comic is Comics, scripts are scripts, like the Dwight character, he’s Ben Affleck’s Dwight, not Frank Miller’s Dwight, so don’t give away anything. I mean, even a little bit!”

Having said that, Lance paused and stared at Ben intently. Ben felt Lance's hot gaze and raised his head to meet him. The indifference in his eyes faded little by little under Lance's gaze, and then I heard Lance say, "I'm serious."

Ben pursed his dry lips, avoided Lance's sight in a panic, then waved the script in his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, I get it."

"Believe me, I'm a professional actor." Mark's voice came over. The calm and firm voice had an uncompromising momentum. His and Lance's eyes collided in the air, and they could vaguely feel a trace of it. Sparks are flying. Lance looked deeply at Mark, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and then he sipped it lightly, "Very good!"

With a short and powerful word, Lance put an end to the whole topic, "Then I am looking forward to cooperation now." The tense atmosphere disappeared like an ebbing tide in an instant, and Lance's gentlemanly voice was like a gentle cello, Intoxicating.

"You're going to make trouble for yourself." After seeing off Ben and Mark, Cole looked at Lance with a half-smile and said half-jokingly.

Lance knows what Cole means, and Ben is indeed a troublesome figure. This is also because Lance insists on using Elijah Wood, Bruce Willis and Eva Green, which makes Creative Artists Agency dominate the negotiations. took the initiative. If possible, Lance can choose to cooperate with the William Morris agency, which is easier for Cole and the casting of "Sin City".

Lance did not answer directly, "If you are bored, you don't need to show up on such occasions." Cole is Lance's agent, but he does not serve Chaos Films. Similar to today's occasions, Cole not only does not need to To show up, on the contrary, his presence will seem rather strange. It would be more appropriate for Lance to bring Albert or Theo.

Cole was defeated by the general, and shook his head with a helpless smile, "Don't worry, next time you beg me to attend, I won't attend either." "Sin City" is the first project they collaborated on. Cole took it so seriously. According to the normal procedure, after he took over the new project for Lance, the agent's work would come to an end temporarily, as for the filming of the work, he would not need to participate.

"You do hope." Lance's words made Cole laugh out loud.

Emma stood in front of the sink, staring blankly at herself in the mirror in a daze. The emotions in her mind were messed up, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

She also didn't expect that she would be able to get an audition for "Sin City"—maybe it's not that unexpected, after all, Sebastian and Lance's agent Cole have a good relationship—when she heard When the news came, the first reaction was joy and excitement, and the second reaction was hesitation and hesitation.

She wasn't sure how she should face Lance, after witnessing Lance's machinations, after witnessing how Lance used Keira, after witnessing how the dirty deal of Vanity Fair in Hollywood was carried out... …She wasn't sure if she wanted to be in Lance's work, and she wasn't even sure what expression she should make when standing in front of Lance.

However, she still appeared here. Perhaps, her first reaction said it all.

The sound of "squeak" came, and Emma saw the woman coming out from the mirror. She forced herself to turn around, turned on the faucet, and began to wash her hands. Floating over, he secretly looked at the woman.

she is so beautiful.

This was the first thought that popped up in Emma's mind, and then Emma saw her slightly red and swollen eye sockets, with a trace of haggardness in her embarrassment, but there was a kind of poignant beauty that I still felt pity for. Countless thoughts in Emma's little head began to diverge: What kind of bastard actually has the heart to hurt this woman?
