Best Actor - v3 Chapter 202
“No no no, dear John, I have never thought about this,” in the very lively hall, Sean smiled and shook his head at the middle-aged man in front of him, “In my It seems that things are over, and no amount of entanglement can change the facts. Therefore, instead of being dissatisfied and angry, it is better to look forward. Anyway, as long as I can do my best every time, I will one day get my own honor. , isn’t it?”
“You surprised me, Sean,” the middle-aged man named John blinked, “You are very talented, to be honest, I have seen most of your works, I The ministry denied some of it at a glance, but you still left a deep impression on me. You are still so humble and full of wisdom, there are really not many young people like you.”
Obviously, Sean made a good impression on him, so the conversation was enjoyable from start to finish.
“Did he vote for me back?” Sean asked Frederick who was with him after parting.
“Certainly, you’re doing well, Sean, and it fits the image we’ve designed for you.” The agent shrugged, “You should see that guy is very fond of you. Good feeling.”
“Why didn’t we lobby him last year?” Sean couldn’t help asking.
“You just said not to care about the past.” Frederick reminded immediately.
Sean raised his eyebrows, did not answer, just looked at him, and after a while, he raised his hands and surrendered.
“Well, as you know, there are more than 1,000 members of the academy, even core members, and according to the law, public relations can only lobby one person at a time.” Frederick sighed , “Although we started to make preparations before this, it is not Weinstein after all. With the contacts accumulated over decades, it is normal to have some omissions.”
Then he moved closer and lowered his voice: “You should know that when we were canvassing for ‘Milk’ last year, Frank Lane was warned and canceled his participation in the awards. Qualifications for the ceremony.”
“I know,” Sean narrowed his eyes, “Because it’s against the principle of fairness to attack other movies in an email to the judges and persuade them to vote for Milk. “
“Yes, that’s it, although we all know that everyone uses this rhetoric when canvassing for movies, but in order to demonstrate their fairness, the film school will always find one or two unlucky people every year. Egg.” Frederick said and shrugged, “However, last year, Frank was very likely to be calculated. Generally, film academies want to recruit unlucky ones, and they will make a statement as soon as public opinion appears, but last year it was two days late. .”
“So you guys were a little tied?” Sean asked immediately.
“I prefer to use the word cautious.” Frederick spread his hands, “Okay, Sean, it’s over, let’s look forward, I believe this year will definitely give You’re fighting for a chip that’s big enough.”
“I hope so.” Sean didn’t mention it again.
Then, Emma who was at the party came over: “Sean.”
She called out and looked at Frederick, and the agent raised her hands winkingly: “Talk about it, I’ll leave first.”
“What’s the matter?” Sean asked Emma after Frederick had walked some distance.
“Hazanavisius called, since you have nothing more to do tomorrow, then he hopes you can continue to go to the set, and if you can finish shooting ahead of time, you can also go to post-production sooner Production. Also, they dropped the idea of giving the hero and heroine a suggestive name, so the hero is now called George, George Valentine, and the heroine is now called Pepy, Pepy Miller.” Ma spoke quickly, and her lovely freckled face was as expressionless as ever.
“Lively Miller?” Sean looked inquiring.
“Yes, lively Miller, it is said that this was suggested by Mr. Director’s wife, Mrs. Berenice Bejo.” Emma shrugged.
“Ha, is he trying to leave a trace for his wife in this way?” Sean joked.
Emma remained expressionless: “Hazanavisius said that if you don’t like it, you can discuss with him again.”
“Nothing to discuss,” Sean waved his hand. “Since you don’t need to use a suggestive name, then let him go. It’s not a big deal to give his wife a trace.”
Michael Hazanavicius’ wife Berenice Bejo is also an actress, born in Buenos Aires in 1976, and returned to France at the age of 3. Her father is Producer, so he also started acting from a young age. However, most of them are French films. The most famous work in the world is probably the “Knight of the Holy War” starring Heath Ledger in 2001.
She married Hazanavicius in 2006 and lived together until now. The reason why there was a dispute over the heroine before, except that Naomi’s height was indeed a problem, ha Zanavicius’ desire to use his own wife is also one of the reasons. Sean had previously guessed that he wanted to use a French actress, but he didn’t know that he actually wanted his own wife.
After all, this is a Hollywood movie that’s meant to hit major awards, especially the Oscars—you can guess that with a little thought. If you can play a major role in such a movie, once the movie is successful, you will have a lot of rewards.
You must know that although Berenice played a role in “Knight of the Holy War”, it was only a small role, otherwise she would not be working hard in the French entertainment circle. And Marion Cotillard, Eva Green, and even Sophie Marceau earlier, are all very eye-catching in Hollywood.
It’s a pity that this movie is not Hazanavicius, he doesn’t have much say, and Sean already has his own choice, so I can only say sorry to his wife .
However, in order to make him feel at ease in charge of the guide tube, Weinstein came forward and promised to give his wife a good role, so this matter passed, as for using his wife’s name For the heroine, this kind of thing is really nothing.
Yes, but the background is real, and Sean is dressed up to look like Clark Gable. Then it’s okay to give the male and female protagonists names that are very similar to actors in the golden age, or even further suggest, or remind the audience of some big stars at that time.
However, this problem may seem simple, but in fact it is not easy to operate. First of all, because Sean is close to Clark Gable in appearance and makeup, it is impossible to be implied as another actor, of course, it may be implied as another actor on purpose, but it is difficult to say what the effect will be.
And then there’s the heroine, Naomi, because of her blonde hair, it’s easy to imply some actress of the golden age, but the question is which one is right? Too far, like Marilyn Monroe, is definitely not acceptable, but too close, like Mary Pickford, is also inappropriate.
Although there is no solid evidence, there have been rumors that Clark Gable and Mary Pickford had a feud, even though Pickford was already at the time of Gable’s first film. Retirement soon. It’s fine if it doesn’t, but if it really does happen, who knows if it’s unpleasant for some people?
Although the crew filmed the scene in the villa where Mary Pickford once lived, in the movie it was the residence of the heroine after she became famous, and even that bed was also lived in by Pickford, but in the movie Framing the scene in the movie and directly implying that the heroine is Pickford are two different things.
So choosing the right names for the male and female protagonists has become a problem. The golden age is too far away from now, and some things have become impossible to verify. Many of them are good words. I really want to read between the lines. In the real situation, I don’t know how much effort it will take.
So after using the male and female protagonists for a period of time and discussing countless times, everyone finally gave up this unrealistic idea. Fortunately, this is a silent film, otherwise I don’t know how much time will be wasted and energy.
“Anything else?” Sean asked again.
“Of course,” Emma raised her eyebrows, “Naomi called and asked when you were going back, and then Katie called and asked when you were going, and said… Sue Ray misses you.”
“Um…” Sean first showed a choked expression, then looked puzzled, “Did they call directly? Didn’t you send a text message first?”
“Naomi called directly, Katie called after several text messages.” Emma shrugged.
Sean scratched his head and was about to speak when Emma spoke again, this time with a half-smile expression: “Also, on the other phone, Blake Lively Send a text asking when you’re free to visit her.”
Sean laughed dryly and pinched his nose in embarrassment. Blake was so impatient, not because of Leighton, who successfully won the Golden Globe for “Suspicion of Child Abuse” and Oscar nominations.
Although Sean helped a lot, her own efforts also contributed a lot. For some people, sometimes they really only need a chance to prove themselves, especially when this opportunity comes. It’s not easy.
As I said before, she was very hardworking on the set of “Suspicion of Child Abuse”, and she was very good at being a person. Both the director and the two leading actors, Hoffman and Streep, praised her. Although her performance in the movie is a little over the top, it’s no problem to get a nomination, and for Leighton, who is still mostly an idol actor, even a nomination is enough for her to be proud of the capital.
Naturally, as a competitor, Blake, who still hugged Sean’s thigh first, felt that the crisis was certain, so it was not surprising to call for favor at this time. She also starred in a movie at his recommendation, and naturally hopes to be like Leighton at this time next year, and Sean’s support is inseparable to achieve this goal.
Just send a text message, just send a text message, but hand it over to Emma on the mobile phone to send it, this is…Although Emma knew about his mess, but never gave him a good face, So it’s understandable that she’s making this expression now, it’s just…
“Okay, I’ll get back to them as soon as possible,” Shawn shrugged first, then leaned closer, “How do you think I should answer?”
“That’s your business.” Emma took a step back without expression, then turned and left, not even giving him a chance to speak.
Looking at her back, Sean grinned wryly, I knew it!
