Best Actor - v3 Chapter 166
After Thanksgiving, the last month of 2007 came, and more movies were released one after another. There will never be less things like competing for the box office in the two major schedules.
And “Iron Man”, which is a collaboration between Samsara Pictures and Marvel Comics, was also selected at this time to prepare for the theater. For the producer, this is a tense moment.
Especially surprised, they almost sacrificed everything. If “Iron Man” cannot succeed and cannot achieve the set goal, it will be a heavy blow.
However, they still have some confidence, and this confidence comes from the big sale of “Twilight”, to be exact, from seeing “Twilight” and promoting it Sean made into a movie.
The youth idol movie with an investment of only more than 30 million yuan, but it broke 100 million yuan in North America in two weeks. This is not a big profit, but a big profit. And not only did the production and Down’s Films and Reincarnation Pictures make money, but the two leading actors, Teresa Palmer and Henry Cavill, also quickly became a new generation of idols in the hearts of teenagers, and the original novel was even more popular. In India, sales have grown explosively.
Faced with such achievements, no matter how much anxiety there is in Surprise’s heart, he can only calm down and believe that since Sean thinks “Iron Man” is very good, then it must be very good, anyway …the premiere is just around the corner.
However, although they were nervous and excited in anticipation, they didn’t know that Sean, who was named a producer in “Iron Man” and was sure to attend the premiere, was not so good Feeling.
He is still very irritable, Natalie’s matter is not over yet, new problems have come again, and more headaches. After Thanksgiving, Leanna’s words continued to haunt him, making him sleepless.
Scratch a cotton swab in the mouth to extract cells for DNA identification. It is indeed very simple, but for Sean, it is no less than putting a thunder in his ear. Especially after returning from San Francisco, after he searched for the personal identification information about DNA in detail, all he wanted to do was to keep scratching his head.
When Kate asked him to use a cotton swab to scrape the inside of his mouth, he didn’t mean to ask at all. Since Kate asked him to do it and didn’t tell him why, there was always a reason for it. Moreover, he did owe her a lot, as long as it was a reasonable request, he would satisfy it.
It’s just that Sean never imagined that Kate wanted this… No doubt, it can be seen from her attitude towards him and Dahir twice. On the set of Babel, she was always worried that he had too much contact with Dashier, but on the set of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, she was very encouraging of Dashier to contact him, which only tells a story .
But what made him panic even more, was that Kate let the second son Roman also get in touch with him, which means that Sean really dare not make judgments, because it is too exaggerated.
But the problem is, he can’t ask Kate for confirmation, although he went to the set of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” for a few days after Thanksgiving, Kate has not been there, and seems to go with another group of people What to shoot. However, even if she is on the set, Sean probably doesn’t know what to do, so it’s not good to go directly to her and ask: Are your two children mine?
This incident, plus Natalie’s incident, no one can solve – Kate can’t tell anyone, even if Vladimir knows that they maintain an underground affair, The same is true of Natalie, who only knows Emma and can’t tell anyone else. Once these things have been kept in his heart for a long time, he wants to know the result very much, so he can imagine how bad his mood is.
While there was a lot of good news during this time, it wasn’t enough for Sean to get relief, especially…physically. Fortunately, at the premiere of “Iron Man” at this time, one way is not enough, then another way is used. At this time, there is not much control.
“Hey Harvey, how are you doing?” Sean said hello from a distance away.
“Very good, glad you can help.” Weinstein responded with a smile, then looked at the young girl beside him, “This is?”
“Let me introduce, this is Abby, Abby Cornish, from New South Wales, Australia, I found it with great difficulty, a little pepper suitable for Iron Man.” Sean With a smile, he introduced the girl to him, “Abby, this is Harvey, Harvey Weinstein, the most amazing independent filmmaker in Hollywood.”
“I can’t compare to you, Sean, at least the script you’re looking at has hardly failed.” Weinstein gave him a small hug, shook hands with the girl, and immediately Just pulled it back.
From Sean’s hand around her waist, you can tell that their relationship is definitely not ordinary, and Weinstein is happy to help and say a few good words at this time.
“That’s because I don’t have many scripts that I like. If I can find a script like “Child Abuse Suspect” at your age, then I can really be proud of it.” Sean shrugged, and then added: “I believe you should get it, right?”
“Of course, with your help, of course I got it,” Weinstein laughed. “Philip and Meryl play the male and female protagonists, and they will start up soon.”
“So, what about Leighton?” Sean raised his eyebrows and asked.
“It’s also very good, the girl you recommended, Leighton Meester,” Weinstein glanced at Abby beside him quickly, and then quickly replied, “And in ” In Gossip Girl, there are completely two looks, and even John Patrick Stanley was very surprised.”
Sean’s vision is now well-known in Hollywood, plus he has a good relationship with Hoffman, and Weinstein promised to win the invitation of Meryl Stry Poe in the leading role — no doubt, the nominations for Katherine Hepburn’s Aunt May, who are already close to catching up with Katherine Hepburn, are the best choice for this old maiden role.
Under these advantages, Weinstein Pictures successfully won the film rights of this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning script. Of course, Sean did not forget to put some privacy The goods went in and earned Leighton Meester the role of the young nun.
I will do what I promise, this is one of the few rules Sean has set for himself, even though it’s just a deal with Leighton, although ruthlessness is the norm in Hollywood , but Sean asked himself that he still couldn’t do it.
Actually, he wanted Blake to try it at first, but her image is too different from the image of the script, her hair will not look good if it is dyed darker, and it lacks some classical temperament— Although “Suspicion of Child Abuse” is about the events of the 1960s, it is different from the present in terms of clothing and styling.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Sean chose Leighton, and Leighton was also very good, and made detailed preparations under Sean’s repeated instructions. Although he did not watch the audition, but Now that we have passed the level, and now that Weinstein said that director Stanley was surprised, then she must have performed well.
Of course, as for the efforts she put in under Sean on the bed, it was inhumane.
But then again, she arranged a good movie for Leighton, so Blake’s side can’t be less talented, after all, she made deals earlier than Leighton, if you think that Xiao Xiao It’s a bit unattractive to favor one over the other, and Sean intends to enjoy her a few more times.
It’s not easy to make a suitable movie, so Sean is just thinking about it now, as long as there is a result before “Child Abuse Suspect” is released, and Leighton must be in front of Blake Show off, Sean may have a windfall at that time.
Don’t mention this, go back to the premiere, the reason why Sean mentioned this in front of Weinstein, of course, was not because he really wanted to know the current situation of Leighton, and Weinstein also Knowing this, I complimented him with two sentences.
Then, the two chatted a few more words, and Weinstein said goodbye.
“Harvey is a very interesting person, sometimes you think he’s just a money-seeking bastard, but he’s actually a shrewd producer; But in fact, he is watching people every minute and every second.” Sean turned his head and said to Abby beside him at this time, which was quite instructive.
“It’s really interesting.” The pretty girl nodded, her body leaning against him tightened a bit.
There is no doubt that she knows his intentions, and is willing to cooperate, very winking, isn’t it?
When choosing the role of Pepper for “Iron Man”, Sean didn’t want to follow the original trajectory to invite Gwyneth, so he spent a lot of time choosing, and when Abby appeared, he I fell in love with her at a glance. What happened after that was not much different from Blake, Teresa, and Leighton. They made an appointment to chat, and then brought them back to the hotel, and then the role was hers.
It is undeniable that Abby Cornish is a **** and beautiful girl, but Sean has another reason for her.
“Hey Sean, I didn’t expect you to be here, I thought you were already in.” After Sean put his arms around Abby and chatted with several producers and directors, a The woman appeared in front of him.
Golden hair hanging down in the iconic curls, a white dress resembling a women’s suit with a skirt, gray-blue eyes, and a figure that is just right to set off, although Much older than Abby, but not as **** and seductive as her.
“How come, I personally called you and invited you to attend the premiere. I won’t go in until I see you.” Sean stretched out his finger and shook it, And then the introduction started again, “Abby, this is Nicole, Nicole Kidman, one of the best actresses in Hollywood and one of Australia’s brightest stars. Nicole, this is Abby, another one A promising new star from Australia.”
“Hello Nicole, it’s a great honor to meet you.” Abby held out her hand, keeping her posture low.
“It’s nice to meet you too, Abby.” Nicole said with a smile.
However, although the two women seemed to have a harmonious atmosphere, when their eyes met, sparks were faintly generated.
