Chapter 217

"Hey, Andy! You're on your way, too? Is Langley your new signing actor? Wow... Good vision, really good vision... I mean, this time I'm burying alive, but it's a big momentum... It seems that you will be busy again in the remaining months of this year... Not to mention, I still have to catch up. There are still ten minutes to go before the opening. I hope my old legs can run in time, and I'll ask you out for a drink later... "

During the film festival, there will always be a lot of people coming and going. This small town seems to have been inundated by people, even more crazy than Cannes. In the 30 minutes sitting in the lobby of the hotel, just now this is the 19th acquaintance, and the voice of greeting has never stopped.

Andy waved goodbye with a smile, but he couldn't help glancing at the elevator entrance again, but still didn't see the object they were waiting for. Taking his eyes back and looking up, Lan Lian sat next to him, flipping through this morning's hot newspaper gracefully. He devoted himself to the world of reading. His calm posture was even more calm than him - long waiting, missed appointment time, and endless greetings, Even an old man like Andy can't help being impetuous.

"Hey, Andy!" Another Hello voice interrupts Andy's thought. He nods his head for a moment, and then looks at lanli again. "You don't seem nervous at all."

"I'm nervous, too, but you can't see it." As a man of two generations, his nerves have long been subjected to severe tests. Moreover, emotional control is a compulsory course for nobles to keep elegant.

Lanli's calmness made Andy laugh. "Was it the same last night?" Andy was talking about last night's "speed and passion 5" audition.

"No, I wasn't nervous last night." Lanli's answer was always unexpected. He put down the newspaper and said, "if you have an idea, you will be nervous; If you don't have an idea, everything will be very calm. "

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

Last night's audition went well, far beyond expectations. Internal news came out that night. "Speed and passion 5" was very satisfied with lanli and had a strong desire to join the cast of CASS. This morning, some reporters got the news; This also makes Andy look forward to the audition of "bad boss" today——

If you can, Andy naturally does not want to miss a work. Even if there is a schedule conflict, it can be adjusted through negotiation. According to the performance of Lanley audition last night, Andy can't think of a reason for Brett Ratner's refusal.

Brett is the producer of "bad boss". This year is his tenth year in the industry. His famous work is prison break. He participated in the production of this work as a producer. After that, Brett moved into the film industry, producing such works as "decisive 21 points", "continuous panic" and "sky havoc". At the same time, he also took charge of the director, shooting such works as "rush hour" series, "X-Men: back water battle" and so on.

Andy and Brett are old friends. They have known each other for many years, and they have some friends in private. Although they are not intimate, they are enough in Hollywood. That's why Andy was able to get the first 20 pages of "bad boss.". With lanli's strength and Andy's lobbying, "bad boss" is also worth looking forward to.

In this way, an action movie, a comedy movie, a literary love movie, lanli's acting career will really take off next year, and the speed is far beyond Andy's expectation. So, he had an idea.

This morning's audition is scheduled to meet at 10:00, but it's already a quarter past ten. Producer Brett still hasn't shown up. The room phone and personal mobile phone are voice messages. Andy's mood is a little out of control.

”So, you have an idea now“ Andy can't help joking. Of course, he hopes to have a good cooperation with lanli and reach a consensus. But to be honest, when choosing the script of "bad boss", he didn't expect lanli to be so proactive.

Langley shrugged. "We've talked about it, haven't we?" He really wants to play "bad boss" more than "speed and passion 5".

Just as Andy is ready to continue talking, he sees a figure walking from the front hall to the past. He immediately stands up and shouts, "bright!" With the words, Andy quickly walked up, the chubby body burst out of unimaginable power at this time, just like a penguin galloping in general, inexplicably a sense of joy.

Blue Li also strode to follow up.

Brett stops at the front desk of the hotel. He is a typical Jew, whose blood is betrayed by his face like curly hair, trim beard and salmon like body. The red crew neck T-shirt and suit jacket are not helpful, He looks like an unsightly version of Seth Logan - even though Seth is not handsome in the first place.

"Andy, Andy, Andy." Brett recognized each other immediately, with an apologetic smile on his face. "Sorry, I know. We have an appointment at ten. I'm late, and I'm leaving now. I'm really sorry. But I'm in a hurry. I need to go to Sheridan theatre

Bright looked up and down. Then he saw lanli standing next to him. He glanced at him and then said to Andy, "otherwise, how about you follow me to the theater and have a simple exchange of ideas on the way?"

Andy frowned and said with a smile, "Brett, we've known each other for more than ten years. Are you still doing this with me? What can we talk about when we walk from here to the theater, which is three minutes at most? If it's a real audition, at least you can give me ten minutes, or we'll sit down and have a face-to-face talk now? Or reschedule? "

There is no politeness, there is no cover, Andy opened the skylight to tell the truth, did not give bright too much room to maneuver.

Bright gave a helpless smile and said sincerely, "to be honest, we think he's too young. He's only twenty years old. We hope to find actors in their early 30s to play in this work. The director specifically mentioned it. " Brett raised his chin and glanced at Langley again. "He's so young. Let's go to some teen movies. I'm sure he'll be very suitable."

This is a credible reason, at least in terms of face, there is no loophole. Lanli's age is indeed an insurmountable injury. The three employees in the "bad boss" are supposed to be good friends, so they plan to murder the boss together. But if lanli, an actor in his early twenties, is adopted, it also means that the age of the other two actors can't be too different.

But Andy doesn't buy it at all.

It's 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, with or without a beard, taking care of their hair and not taking care of their hair, there is a huge difference in the visual effects produced. In addition, with the superb make-up technology of the contemporary era, Disobedience is minimized.

When Brad Pitt starred in "the wonder of Benjamin Button" in 2008, he played from the age of six to the age of 80, during which he played all the scenes in his early twenties and early thirties. And Brad was 45 years old.

"Shit." Andy did not give face to fight back to go back, "when I first introduced you to Langley, I already declared that he was only 20 years old; Moreover, in the work "buried alive", he plays a 28 year old middle-aged man, which is also recognized by the audience and film critics. You don't tell me that you don't know all this, just look at my face, nodded and agreed to audition. We're not new to society. "

The sharp words pressed her step by step, leaving little room for Brett to breathe.

However, bright was not flustered. Instead, he spread out his hands with a smile. He looked helpless, as if to say, "you asked me to tell the truth, so don't blame me for not worrying about our friendship." "we decided to use more famous actors."

Simple and clear, no redundant explanation, no redundant explanation, that is so direct. The subtext is, we don't want nobody.

Seeing that Andy still wanted to talk, this time bright didn't leave a chance and continued, "I got a call this morning, and Jason Bateman and Jason sudachis have already nodded. You know that

Andy can't argue. Before the audition, Andy knew that Brett intended to build an all-star lineup, and Langley was able to enter his sight. The rendering of Toronto and triliureid is very important, which is also the fundamental reason why Brett is willing to give Langley a chance. But now, Bateman and sudachis have nodded their heads and agreed to play, so lenley will have no chance.

"Bright." Andy still wants to fight for it. Even if he doesn't finish, bright also understands Andy's meaning. He cuts off Andy's words, "if you want, I can still give him a chance, as I said, to walk from here to the theater. But you also know the results

Popularity, which is lanli's fatal weakness. It has nothing to do with strength, appearance or pay. When the producers are determined to use more well-known actors, that is the terminator of the game.

"Believe me, he's fine. Everything's fine. But we can only look forward to the next cooperation. " Bright patted Andy on the shoulder and said kindly.

Andy didn't continue to fight for it, because if he went on talking about it, he just wanted to lower his price. Other conditions can be reversed and made up for, but the qualifications, experience and popularity are beyond the ability of the agent.

Watching Brett leave the hotel, Andy turns and looks at lanli. There's disappointment in their eyes. It's impossible to fail. It's acceptable to fail after working hard and making every effort, but even the chance to let go has been strangled. Such failure is the most disappointing.
