"Hey, Andy! Did you come here too? Lan Li is your newly signed actor? Wow... Good foresight, really good foresight... I'm serious, this time,'Buried alive' is very powerful. Not small... It seems that you will be busy again for the remaining months of this year... Not much to say, I still have to rush to the game, there are still ten minutes before the opening, I hope my old legs can run in time Here, I will ask you out for a drink later..."

Telluride is always full of people during the film festival. This slap-sized town seems to have been overwhelmed by people, even crazier than the small town of Cannes. In the thirty minutes of sitting in the hotel lobby, this one was already the nineteenth acquaintance, and the voice of greeting did not stop.

Andy smiled and waved goodbye, but he couldn't help but glanced at the elevator entrance again, but still did not see the person they were waiting for. Withdrawing his gaze and raising his eyes, Lan Lian was sitting next to him, gracefully tilting Erlang's legs, flipping through the hotly published newspapers this morning, and devoted himself to the world of reading. His calm and relaxed posture was even more than his Calmness——Long waiting, missed appointment time, coupled with the constant voice of greetings, even the old fritters like Andy inevitably become a little impetuous.

"Hey, Andy!" Another greeting voice interrupted Andy's thoughts. He raised his head and nodded for a moment, then looked at Lan Li again, "You don't seem to be nervous at all."

"I'm also nervous, but you can't tell it." He is a man of two generations, and his nerves have long been severely tested. What's more, emotional control is a compulsory course for the nobles to maintain elegance.

Lan Li's calmness made Andy chuckle. "Is it the same last night?" Andy was talking about the audition for "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" last night.

"No, I was really not nervous last night." Lan Li's answer was always unexpected. He put the newspaper down, "When you have an idea, you will be nervous; if you don't have an idea, everything will be extremely calm."

In a simple sentence, Andy tasted a deeper meaning. Indeed, he has an idea.

The audition went well last night and far exceeded expectations. There was internal news that came out that night. "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" was very satisfied with Lan Li and had a strong desire to add him to the cast of the cast. Today In the morning, a reporter also got news; this also made Andy have greater expectations for today’s "evil boss" audition——

If you can, Andy is naturally a work that you don’t want to miss. Even if there is a schedule conflict, it can be negotiated and adjusted. Judging from the performance of Lanly's audition last night, Andy couldn't think of a reason for Brett Ratner's rejection.

Bright is the producer of "Evil Boss". This year is his tenth year in the industry. His famous work is the American drama "Prison Break", and he participated in the production of this work as a producer. After that, Bright moved into the film industry and produced works such as "Winning Blackjack", "Continuous Panic", "Sky Catastrophe" and other works. At the same time, he also directed the tube and filmed the "Hush Hour" series. X-Men: Last Stand" and other works.

Andy and Bright are old friends. They have known each other for many years and have some friendships in private. Although they are not close, they are enough in Hollywood. This is also the reason why Andy was able to get the first twenty pages of the script of "Evil Boss". With Lan Li's strength, coupled with Andy's lobbying, the "evil boss" is also worth looking forward to.

In this way, an action movie, a comedy movie, a literary love movie, Ren Li's actor career will really take off next year, and the speed far exceeds Andy's expectations. So, he has an idea.

This morning’s audition is scheduled to meet at ten, but now it’s ten a quarter, and the producer Bright still hasn’t shown up. The guest room phone and personal cell phone are both voice messages. Andy's emotions became a little uncontrollable and anxious.

"So, do you have ideas now?" Andy couldn't help but said jokingly. Of course, he hoped that he and Lan Li would have a happy cooperation and the two sides reached a consensus, but to be honest, when he chose the script of "evil boss", he didn't think of Lan. Li is so proactive.

Lan Li shrugged, "We've already talked about this topic, haven't we?" He really wants to play the "evil boss" more than "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5".

Just as Andy was about to continue talking, he saw a figure walking from the lobby in front of his eyes to quickly walk past. He immediately stood up and shouted, "Bright!" With the words, Andy walked away quickly. Going up, the chubby body exploded with unimaginable power at this time, just like a penguin sprinting, and there was an inexplicable sense of joy.

Lan Li also followed in strides.

Bright stopped at the front desk of the hotel. He is a typical Jew. His curly hair like instant noodles, a neatly trimmed beard and a plump body like a salmon have betrayed his pedigree. He is a red round neck T-shirt. The outfit with a suit jacket didn't help. He looked like an uncool version of Seth Logan-although Seth was not handsome at all.

"Andy, Andy, Andy." Bright recognized each other immediately, with an apologetic smile on his face, "Sorry, I know, we have an appointment at ten o'clock, I'm late, and I'm leaving now I’m really sorry. But I’m in a hurry and need to go to the Sheridan Theater."

Bright looked up and looked around, then he saw Lan Li standing next to him, took a quick glance, and then said to Andy, "Or else, follow me to the theater, and briefly exchange ideas on the way. how is it?"

Andy frowned slightly and said with a smile, "Bright, we have known each other for more than ten years, are you still here with me? From here to the theater, it's three minutes at most, what can you talk about? Something? If it’s a sincere audition, at least you can give me ten minutes, or else, let’s sit down and have a face-to-face talk? Or reschedule the time?"

There is no courtesy, and there is no cover, Andy opens the skylight to speak brightly, without giving Bright too much room for maneuver.

Bright showed a helpless smile and said sincerely, "To be honest, we think he is too young to be only twenty years old. We hope to find actors in their early thirties to star in this work. The director specifically mentioned This is the case." Bright raised his jaw and glanced at Lan Li again, "He is so young, so let's go to some teenage movies. I believe he will be very suitable."

This is a credible reason, at least in terms of face, there are no loopholes. Lan Li’s age is indeed an insurmountable flaw. The three employees in "Evil Boss" are good friends according to the setting, so they will jointly plan to murder the boss, but if Lan Li, an actor in his early twenties, is used , Which also means that the ages of the other two actors cannot be too different.

But Andy didn't buy it at all.

In the actor industry, it is not uncommon for a 30-year-old actor to play an 80-year-old role, or a 40-year-old actor to play a 25-year-old role, especially for men, who have beards and lack of beards. There is a huge gap in the visual effects of beard, hair care and no hair care. Coupled with contemporary superb makeup techniques, the sense of disobedience will be minimized.

When Brad Pitt starred in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in 2008, he played from six to eighty years old. During the period, he played in his early twenties and early thirties. By then Brad was forty-five years old.

"Dog/shit." Andy fought back without giving any face. "When I first introduced you to Lanly, I already declared that he was only twenty years old; and in the work'Buried alive', he Playing the twenty-eight-year-old middle-aged man has also been recognized by the audience and film critics. Don’t tell me, you don’t know all of this, just for the sake of my face, you nodded and agreed to the audition. Neither of us was just now. A rookie out of society."

The sharp words pressed harder and harder, and there was almost no room for Brett to breathe.

However, Bright did not panic, but spread out his hands with a chuckle, as if to say, "You told me to tell the truth, then don't blame me for not caring about our friendship", "We Decided to use more well-known actors."

is simple and clear, there is no superfluous explanation, no superfluous explanation, it is so straightforward. The subtext is, we don't want to be anonymous.

Seeing that Andy still wanted to talk, Bright did not leave a chance~www.novelhall.com~ and continued, "I received a call this morning, Jason Bateman and Jason Sudekis Nodding already. You know."

Andy could not refute. Before the audition, Andy knew that Bright wanted to build an All-Star lineup, and Renly could enter his line of sight. The renderings of Toronto and Telluride were very important. This was also the basis for Bright's willingness to give Renly a chance. the reason. But now, Bateman and Sudekis have nodded and agreed to play, so Lan Li basically has no chance.

"Bright." Andy wanted to continue fighting. Even if he didn't finish speaking, Bright understood Andy's meaning. He cut off Andy's words. "If you want, I can still give him a chance. , As I said, walk from here to the theater. But you also know the result."

popularity, this is the fatal weakness of Lan Li. It has nothing to do with strength, appearance, and pay. When the producer is determined to use a more famous actor, that is the end of the game.

"Trust me, he is fine, everything is fine. But we can only look forward to the next collaboration." Bright patted Andy on the shoulder and said kindly.

Andy didn't continue to fight, because if he went on, he just made himself more depreciated. Other conditions are reversible and can be made up for, but qualifications, experience, and popularity are beyond the agent's ability.

Watching Bright leave the hotel, Andy turned and looked at Lan Li, the eyes of both people were disappointed that could not be concealed. Failure is impossible. Failure after working hard and doing your best is acceptable, but even the opportunity to give it a go is stifled. Such failure is the most disappointing.
