American Fame and Fortune Chapter 192

Chapter 192 Realistic style, missing my sister

 Boston, Grand Hotel.

 In a business reception room, Martin Scorsese met the young actor with his namesake.

 Having a restrained temperament, except for being a little handsome, the rest is unremarkable.

 Just like many ordinary police detectives he saw in the police detective station in the afternoon.

The two had already greeted each other, and Scorsese asked directly: "Why did you show up in Boston?"

"I want to win the role of Colin Sullivan." Martin understood the progress of the crew and made no secret of his desire, "I have confidence in my acting skills, and I want to get your approval in the audition, even if it is only 100%. I will give 100% effort if I have any hope.”

He selectively told his real experience: "I was born in the slums of Atlanta, and I saw more drug dealers and gangs than PDs. I lacked this knowledge, so I specifically asked the agency to contact BPD and join them to get actual experience."

 Understanding gangs and experiencing life in the BPD, isn't this a different kind of Colin Sullivan?

Scorsese was almost surrounded by Martin's name during the crew meeting, and he was naturally impressed. As a veteran director, he knows the importance of investors.

 Let alone film shooting, investors are expected to continue to pay for prizes.

 He asked again: "Aren't you from Boston? What's the accent?"

Martin said truthfully: "I have been practicing recently, and I strengthened it when I came to Boston."

 Scorsese nodded secretly, and the actor's serious attitude was impeccable.

 At this moment, he was like an examiner: “Do you have any thoughts?”

Martin recalled the movies he had watched: "It is very different from the image in the media, and even more different from the police and gangster movies. They are ordinary people, not very skilled, and they curse and make dirty jokes all day long. Sometimes the rules are not followed when handling cases, and some people have psychological problems and need psychological counseling..."

 Scorsese nodded slightly. The style of the original Hong Kong film is not suitable for North America.

 Too romantic and poetic.

 What Scorsese determined is the realistic style, which coincides with Martin's words.

"Have you read the script?" Seeing Martin nodding, he simply said directly: "Perform a scene in which you give up your undercover identity and choose to kill the villain. I am Frank."

 Martin simply brewed and started an explosive performance.

 At the end of the performance, Scorsese nodded and only said: "Remember to attend the audition with makeup on the crew."

“Okay.” Martin knew full well that he had Scorsese's approval.

Scorsese came over and shook hands with him: "That's it for today."

 Martin said goodbye and left.

 Scorsese sat back in his chair and thought about it.

There is no doubt that the other party is a young actor who takes his work seriously and actively, and his acting skills are also good, definitely above the level he requires.

The only drawback is that he is not as famous as Matt Damon.

 At this time, Alan knocked on the door and came in, asking: "How was the discussion?"

Scorsese said: "It's better than I expected. He comes from a low-income background and comes to BPD to experience life in real life. His acting skills are also passable, which is pretty good."

Alan understood him and asked, "You are hesitating."

 Scorsese nodded: "Not as famous as Matt Damon."

“Let's talk about it.” Allen sat on a sofa aside: “The little guy is preparing hard for the role. What is Matt Damon doing?”

What kind of employees does the boss like? The donkey who takes the initiative to grind!

 Old-school directors like Scorsese also like actors to prepare their own scenes with all their strength. He thought for a while and said, "Please ask around."

Allen took out his mobile phone, made a few calls, and said: "Damon is in Los Angeles, preparing to stand for the fashion conference of Harvey Weinstein's wife."

“Investor Dyson Pictures supports Damon.” Scorsese is also greedy, he wants everything.

Allen said: "Damon is almost 35 years old. His age is different from Colin's setting, and he is more suitable to kill Colin's Ding Gunan."

Scorsese said: “What a great idea.”

 Wouldn't this solve the problem? Investors can also all be in place.

Ellen quickly went downstairs, returned to his room, and made a phone call. Within a few minutes, Mene entered her room.

 Early the next morning, a satisfied Ellen solemnly promised Mene that as long as he was on call, she promised to give him an important supporting role.

 For this role, Allen, as the casting director, can make the final decision.

 Under Menne's new verbal attack, she repeated what she had said to Scorsese last night.

Although the old director gave excellent feedback last night, Martin continued to experience life with the special operations team as he had in the past few days.

 At noon that day, Mene rushed over and informed Martin of the relevant information.

 “Thank you for your hard work.” Martin looked at Menei's slightly swollen lips: “This time, I'm lucky to have you.”

Meine wiped his lips: "It's okay, boss, this is what I'm good at. I didn't get anything from it before, but this time I got an important supporting role."

“We work together,” Martin said.

Mei Xin is very confident: "I don't expect to be the protagonist and have a stable income. When I am in my fifties or sixties, I will be content with Morgan Freeman." Martin said : "You can see Morgan Freeman on the set of "Wanted" back then."

As a gold medal supporting actor in Hollywood, the old man has a certain appeal to middle-aged and elderly audiences, and the salary is not high. Before Martin came to Boston this time, Louise had already sent an invitation to Morgan Freeman.

 Martin Scorsese and others stayed in Boston for a week before leaving and returned to Los Angeles to continue polishing the characters and script.

During this period, Martin and Scorsese had several communications.

 Concerning the next Oscar competition, Scorsese is working hard to improve, and the filming of this film will not start until the summer.

 Martin has enough time to film "Wanted" first.

 After twenty days of experiencing life with BPD, it was time for Martin to say goodbye and leave.

 The Public Relations Office held a farewell reception specifically for him.

 Because Martin had invited them too many times, these guys felt that they had to return the invitation once, not to mention spending public funds.

 At the cocktail party, Martin clinked glasses with Jack, John and others one by one and drank happily.

Everyone who attended the reception came to take photos with Martin. If Martin became a big star, they would have more bragging rights while scolding Fake.

 At the end of the cocktail party, Bruce appeared on the stage and brought a souvenir specially prepared by Martin.

 Martin first found the chief of the police detective bureau and presented him with a crocodile tooth pendant in a gift box: “a souvenir.”

The director declined: "How is this possible?"

Martin raised his voice and explained: "This is made from the tooth of a large crocodile that was legally hunted when I went to Australia to shoot. It is a simple handicraft. I took it as a testimony of my friendship with the BPD. ”

 The director took it.

Martin sent out dozens of crocodile tooth pendants in one go.

After the cocktail party, in the car returning to the hotel, Martin said specifically to Bruce: "Old Bu, send a message to Australia and ask them to get another batch."

There is no way, I have too many friends and not enough pendants to give.

 Martin gave the remaining pieces to Mene: "Take them back and give them to your relatives and friends."

 Back at the hotel, Martin drank a lot because of socializing, so Martin took an early rest.

 Bruce and Mene went to the bar below.

 The two of them each ordered a glass of beer and drank and chatted.

 Bruce fully recognized Mene: "Man, you did a good job this time."

Menei was quite emotional: "Before I met you and the boss, I licked countless old women and got nothing but a little money. After meeting you and the boss, everything was completely different. Now I have a certain reputation, and I have A little money."

Bruce clinked glasses with him: "It turns out that people with skills can live a better life."

Meine completely agrees: "I can't count how many old women I have experienced before I can develop my current skills."

Bruce took out a bottle of Fengyoujing that Martin gave him and handed it to Mene: "If you encounter someone who forces you, or goes too far, this is the magic medicine to deal with them."

Meine opened it, smelled it, and was about to pour it into his mouth.

Bruce quickly grabbed him: "We'll use it at the critical moment."

"Okay!" Mene screwed on the cap of the bottle and put it in his pocket, saying, "Paris Hilton has been thinking about me since the last premiere. I guess she may be missing my tongue in addition to the hype. "

 In the past, Bruce would have thought Mene was bragging.

But now it feels normal. Kim Kardashian has told him more than once that Paris is not an ordinary romantic.

Mene said: "Paris wants to force me without spending money, so I will use the magic medicine you gave me!"

These words reminded Bruce of Kim Kardashian's sister.

 Kohler is also very sexy!

Bruce quickly shook his head, stopped his random thoughts, and cursed Martin secretly. It was all his fault!

 The next morning, the three Martins left Boston and took a flight back to Los Angeles.

 I got off the plane and came to the apartment, but I didn't see the fat landlord.

 Martin inquired about the tenant, and Antonio went to a club party.

 The entry requirements for that club required millions of assets ten years ago.

Going to the second floor, the door diagonally opposite opened. Jessica came out, said hello first, and then said: "Martin, Thomas told me early this morning that you should call him when you come back."

"I know." Martin took out his cell phone, waited for Lao Bu to open the door, and entered the apartment.

 The apartment is spotless. Jessica and Emily, who came after them, had specially cleaned it last night.

Thomas answered the call and immediately said, "Martin, good news. The crew of "The Departed" officially informed me today that on March 22, I will be asked to come to your studio for a makeup audition!"

 Martin was slightly relieved: "This time has not been in vain." He asked again: "Where are the competitors?"

Thomas simply said: "I asked Louise specifically, she will serve as an executive producer on the crew. Your biggest competitor is Matt Damon, but Scorsese himself is inclined to let him play another important role. , the one who killed Colin."
