Chapter 82

"Sorry, Ryan."

Langley hall, after careful consideration and audition, Rodriguez finally decided to give the role of Paul to Langley.

Rodriguez clearly knows that this is an adventure, giving up the original first choice in his heart, giving up the social advantages that Ryan has, all of which will undoubtedly make "buried alive" in a dilemma; However, Rodriguez also has a clear goal. This is a classic work. He does not want to give up the quality of the work for the so-called commercial promotion prospect.

Lanli's performance successfully moved him, convinced him, and even brought unexpected inspiration. He had no reason to refuse.

It's a dilemma, but Rodriguez doesn't regret it. For independent films, quality is always the first benchmark, not the star effect or commercial value.

Rodriguez thought it would be very difficult, but after he said it, he felt relaxed. He could clearly hear the sound of a big stone landing, which made him more determined. "Thank you very much for coming to New York in person and giving so many valuable opinions. But the film has decided to sign another actor

Ryan's expression was obviously stunned. The stiff smile at the corner of his mouth could hardly be maintained. He gave two embarrassed dry smiles, "ha ha, what do you mean? What is the decision to sign another actor? "

Rodriguez seriously thought about it and decided to be honest. "After the conversation and understanding just now, I think there are more suitable candidates for the role of Paul Conroy."

Ryan's smile was still on the corner of his mouth, but he could hardly keep it up. His face was a little bit black, which was not much better than the bottom of the pot. Rodriguez's words were like a slap in the face, which was very hot and painful.

Rodriguez's words stopped slightly, but still explained, "it's a great honor for me to be able to come to New York in person. I still feel a little unreal up to now. But work is work. There will be many challenges in the shooting of "bury alive". The complexity and profundity of Paul's role are far beyond imagination. You are an excellent actor. No, you are a great actor. Otherwise, I would not have personally invited you, but you are not the most suitable actor for Paul. "

Ryan only felt that his cheek hurt badly. Just now, he was still instructing Jiangshan, putting forward his own ideas on the script and structure of "buried alive", expecting to make a great contribution to this work. Now, he has achieved such a result. He just felt as if he had been stripped naked and exposed to the public on the spot, and the sense of shame began to burn from the sole of his feet, All the way to the top of my head.

"Sorry." Rodriguez once again expressed his apologies. His sincere attitude is not only professional, but also sincere. It can be seen that he is completely out of professional consideration, without any personal factors.

It was this major that humiliated him and kept him from getting angry.

He, Ryan Reynolds, has been an actor for nearly ten years. Last year, he was successfully promoted by "Wolverine" and "fake marriage", but he was rejected by an independent work with an investment of less than three million dollars? He also personally arrived in New York from Los Angeles to express his importance, but was he rejected? What's worse, is it still rejected after the audition when the other side offers an invitation? For professional reasons?

Ryan clenched his teeth, still did not resist the impulse to clench his fist. The muscles under the suit were trembling slightly, and he kept the almost distorted smile. Word by word, he squeezed out from his teeth. "As you said, work is work. I understand

"To be honest, I'm still looking forward to working with you. I hope the next work will have a chance." Rodriguez said sincerely.

"Of course. Of course. " Ryan nodded and said, "wait, you just said I'm not the best actor for Paul?" Ryan is now a little dizzy, all his thoughts are focused on his rejection, and even forget to ask who is more suitable.

Rodriguez hesitated for a moment, using words very carefully. "About your excellence, there is no doubt about it. However, after discussion, we think that Paul should be a more blue collar, rougher and more uninhibited role. Obviously, you have a superhero temperament, which is slightly different from the setting

Ryan knew that all this was nonsense. Obviously Rodriguez didn't want to offend him. Naturally, he didn't want to tell the truth. He took a deep breath, but the boiling in his chest still couldn't be calmed. He had to take a deep breath again, "ha ha." "So... Er..." his brain didn't even work properly, "so, who was the last actor you picked? Do I know him? "

Rodriguez hesitated. Now Ryan is angry and has just been rejected. The timing is obviously not right; What's more, if he tells Ryan that he finally chose lanli, who just finished the audition, he can't predict whether Ryan's anger will affect the next shooting of "burying alive".

"Ha ha." Rodriguez also exaggerated dry laugh twice, to hide his emotions, "we are just an independent film, how can we attract so many famous actors?"? To be honest, I'm still heartburn after missing you. "

The words of praise didn't make Ryan recover. He lost. No matter how to whitewash peace, he lost,

"Scarlett." Rodriguez's eyes caught Scarlett's figure, as if to see the Savior, quickly called out, "sorry to keep you waiting."

Scarlett's side around a few young people, excited to say something, still holding the hand just signed the book, Scarlett toward them showed a smile, and then came over, "you guys finished working?" Scarlett put her hands on Ryan's shoulders, but noticed that Ryan's shoulders were tense and frightening, but she didn't mention anything and said quietly, "so can we go to the exhibition now?" Scarlett leaned over Ryan's ear and accentuated, "remember? We have an exhibition to see today. "

This sentence finally brought Ryan back to his senses. "Of course, I didn't forget it." Ryan also stood up and took Scarlett's waist. "Rodrigo, it's a good conversation today. I hope we can keep in touch after that. "

In a simple word, Scarlett can hear the voice out of the words - is it true that "buried alive" has not been negotiated? Otherwise, why not keep in touch, but "can" keep in touch?

The three exchanged greetings again, and then Ryan and Scarlett left the lobby of the youth hostel together. Ryan regained his usual style and even said hello to other people in the lobby. Even at such a moment, he still did not forget the fan service.

Walking into the courtyard, Ryan saw the actor who didn't know his name just now. He had a light smile on his face, like a spring breeze. But he didn't like it. He just wanted to punch that face hard.

”Hey, is the audition over“ The other side took the initiative to say hello, but Ryan didn't want to respond at all. He just nodded his head without a smile and didn't speak. The other side didn't seem to mind. He gently tilted his head to show understanding.

All of a sudden, an incredible idea flashed into Ryan's mind: Rodriguez's last actor won't be the one in front of him, will he?

When the idea came out, Ryan immediately vetoed, "no, no, absolutely impossible." And then Ryan started to laugh, and he felt like he was a bit of a dead man.

How could it be this annoying guy? He looks like a vase full of straw. He has nothing but that leather bag. He is probably just one of the millions of ordinary people who want to be an actor here in New York. The reason why he stays here is that he is still haunted because he has little hope. This is the most reasonable explanation.

Ryan was relieved to pull the corners of his mouth. It seems that he had a big impact today. He started to think wildly. He needs to be quiet.

Thinking of this, Ryan has some pity for this nobody, which reminds him of the beginning of his career as an actor. He just wants to get a chance to perform, even if it's just an audition, but the reality is often hurtful.

So Ryan nodded to the guy as an expression of sympathy.

Scarlett's eyes fell on Lan Li. Her eyes gradually became deeper. Inexplicably, she felt that this guy must have got the role. There was no reason, just the intuition of the sixth sense.

Scarlett thinks that things are beginning to be interesting. Although Ryan has no absolute strength, she has really made a name. She also flew from Los Angeles to New York for an interview in person, showing enough sincerity, and can hardly find a reason for failure. But the result was unexpected. So, what did this guy do?

Scarlett's eyes fell deeply on the guy. She suddenly became curious about what the finished product would look like.

Langley stood there, smiling politely at Ryan and Scarlett, watching them leave the hostel.

When they came to the door, they stopped without warning and began to kiss each other affectionately. For those who know the whole story just now, they must be confused. Why did they suddenly start kissing? But for those who don't know the situation, Ryan and Scarlett, who just came out of the Youth Hostel, can't kiss each other. Do you still need to explain?

Sure enough, two paparazzi appeared on the opposite side of the street. They quickly pressed the shutter button and recorded the moment. Lanli thought of Scarlett's joke just now, "don't you know how to put the picture?"

Looking back, lanli sees Rodriguez standing at the entrance of the lobby. He says, "lanli, can we continue the unfinished conversation?"

"Of course."
