Four Hundred and Fifty Seven - The Bet Is 1 Week of Coffee

There is no shortage of stars in Hollywood who, under the tout of the media and the public, become lost in the world of wealth and wealth, and are lost in "contraband" and drug addiction. Charlie Sheen is not the first, and he is far from the last.

For this kind of star who became popular as soon as he debuted and then quickly committed suicide, people usually call him a star who fell in the middle. After finally waking up, it is not that there are no stars who become popular again, but they are only a rare minority among this group.

"How did I end up living like this in my life? Is there any deviation in that link?"

Charlie Xin asked himself this countless times. He was once a star of hope that everyone was looking forward to. He became famous at a young age. As soon as he debuted, he quickly gained a lot of fame thanks to the connections he made with his father in his early years. But after that, it was like Like countless colleagues, they quickly got lost in addictive things due to their inflated mentality.

It wasn't until his ex-girlfriend took him to court that he had time to look back at the bastard things he had done in the past two years. Of course, it seemed that it was completely too late now.

His former friends did not trust him and were not even willing to have anything to do with him, and the support from his family had disappeared without a trace. The most important thing was that as long as there were medium-sized or above production companies in the circle, his credibility He has already been bankrupted by himself.

In fact, no producer is willing to use a troublesome character who is addicted to drugs and contraband and is plagued by negative news.

In the first twenty years of his life, he had never experienced this kind of feeling. Now, even the independent film circles that he once looked down on have rejected him unceremoniously again and again. No one believes that he can easily Quit that stuff.

"Jingle Bell."

Charlie Sheen's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden ringing of the phone. He smiled bitterly at the ringing phone, stretched out his hands and rubbed his face twice before picking up the phone.

"Hello, this is Charlie..."

"Listen, here's your chance."

His father's voice came from the phone not long after he left. Old Martin's tone was still serious. "I just got news that something went wrong on the location of "The Dark Knight." The first round of auditions was hosted by the casting director and producer. I will say hello to Bruce Rosenblum again. , make preparations.”

"I will, Dad."

After a dull reassurance, the other party hung up the phone with a click. It was also at this moment that Charlie Sheen recovered from the surprise. He had made up his mind to hold on to this life-saving straw no matter what.

Not just Charlie Sheen, there are countless actors in the industry who yearn for the crew of "The Dark Knight". Even the crew has already issued a statement through the media, the main characters have signed contracts, and most of the candidates who have been auditioned are Some insignificant little characters.

But there is still an endless stream of actors who want to participate in this project. Hollywood has successfully amplified the desire of people, and those who succeed are the ones that the industry looks up to. In the past few days, countless agents have been rushing around to recommend their actor clients to the crew of "The Dark Knight".

Among them are some who are already famous. They would rather play a small role in a successful project than join a bad movie that can be spotted at a glance.

Things happened quite suddenly. New York has always welcomed the entry of Hollywood crews, not to mention that this is the hugely influential Batman series, but this time, when the other party had already agreed, due to some inexplicable reasons, Unknown safety issues stuck in the contract with the city government.

After learning the relevant information, Wayne immediately took his camera supervisor Steve Wilson and his assistant Nina with him. After a brief exchange with Warner Bros., he boarded a flight to the Big Apple.

Warner Bros. had received specific information before leaving. Some people did not want the crew of "The Dark Knight" to continue filming in the Big Apple City. Warner Bros.'s public relations department was negotiating with the city government. The reason why he hurried over was because Want to determine the outcome of things early.

The purpose of bringing the photography supervisor is simple: to conduct an on-site survey of the location where real-life shooting is required, and to see if a similar city can be found as a replacement if something unexpected happens.

In fact, the film's long-range city shots, as well as shots involving panoramic views of Gotham, all require models produced by the Industrial Light and Magic special effects team, as well as CGI special effects. The difficulty is to make the audience feel immersed in the film. Those close-up city shots that appeared in the first film must not be easily replaced.

Although Wayne flew to New York, the audition work of the crew will still not stop. Before leaving, he handed over the specific work to assistant director Gilmour, producer Charles Rowan and casting director Schwa Now, they will select most of the actors the crew needs during their absence.

Only the two more important characters will wait for Wayne to come back from handling the matters there before making a decision.

This situation allowed many agents and actors to see opportunities. After the actual controller of the crew left Los Angeles, the three current heads of the crew became popular in the eyes of countless people.

As long as you do some careful research, you will find that Wayne is actually not a beast of power. When he trusts his team, he never minds delegating some power and letting them help him complete his work.

Perhaps the casting director and assistant director for major roles do not have the final say, but for those minor roles that are insignificant, they can definitely make direct decisions.

Since the audition work officially started, the number of people coming in and out of Warner Studio has increased significantly in the past few days. They are training in the studio. Several main actors who will participate in the show have been confirmed. They regard the different participants who come to participate in the audition as entertainment during the break. "Nami, who do you think has the greatest hope for the role of Two-Face?"

In the rest area in a corner of the studio, Michael Caine began to gossip rather disrespectfully. He joked to Christian Bale and Naomi Watts who were wearing full Batman gear next to him: "Would you like to make a bet?" , I think Matthew McConaughey must be the final winner."

"The bet is a week's worth of coffee, how about that?"

Christian Bale reached out and tapped the armor twice, tilted his head and looked at his butler. "Everyone in the group, coffee for a week. I bet the winner isn't Matthew McConaughey."

Before Michael Caine could respond, Naomi Watts reached out and knocked on the Batman armor with an affected expression. "Damn it, this is a bet between you and Mike, don't involve me."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Michael Caine, who looked triumphant, and revealed the source of his confidence without hesitation. "Don't think I don't know. Matthew McConaughey was recommended by Steven Spielberg. He has passed the first audition. The DreamWorks boss will definitely say hello to Wayne in the end!"

After hearing Naomi Watts' words, Christian Bale smiled bitterly and shrugged, but he did not regret what he had just said about the bet. He is no longer the poor boy who just came to Hollywood and needs to rent a house. Well, to some extent, he is already considered one of the successful ones.

So he doesn't care about winning or losing the small bet. As long as he can bring some fun to everyone during the boring training before shooting, he doesn't care about the money at all.

"Hey guys."

Michael Caine also knew this and immediately shouted to the busy staff around him. "Wait a minute, guys, our Batman is going to treat you all to coffee for a week."

"Thank you, Chris!"

"Chris, please make more bets like this. Believe me, Wayne will be very happy to see you saving money for his "little" funds."

Amid the booing from the surrounding staff, Gary Oldman came over and joked: "Ha, Mike, don't get too happy too early. You might be the one to treat everyone to a drink in the end."

Michael Caine blinked and said in a weird voice: "Believe me, then you have to pray to God. Pray that Matthew McConaughey will perform abnormally in the audition when facing Wayne's ice face."

Everyone knows what he means. As long as Matthew McConaughey doesn't make catastrophic mistakes in his final audition, his probability of getting that role will be far greater than others.

It's because of Steven Spielberg. Since the good old man made the recommendation, I must say hello to Wayne in advance. Normally, there is not much difference in acting skills, even if someone performs better than Matthew McConaughey. Under the circumstances, Wayne will most likely choose favors. This has always been the rule in this circle.

As we all know, Steven Spielberg and Wayne have a very good friendship. The reason why DreamWorks' subsequent distribution business was handed over to Warner Brothers was because Wayne was the one who pulled the strings.

Putting all this aside, in order to win the Academy Award early next year, Wayne will not ruin the good guy's face at this time. A small favor is presented to him, and smart people should know how to choose.

"That's...? Strange, why did she come here?!"

Because there were people coming and going in the studio, except for agents in suits and ties, they were actors who came to audition. Christian Bale had been listening to everyone chatting and relaxing, and suddenly discovered a special actor, but suddenly in the middle of the sentence Stopped.

He immediately looked at the Australian actress next to him. After discovering the actor who had just come in, everyone else turned their attention to Naomi Watts. It was not until they found that her face had not changed that they looked at each other covertly. He glanced at it and shook his head.

"Nami, do you want me to tell Gilmore and refuse her audition?" Christian Bale asked in a low voice. Although there are minor conflicts in the crew, the main members get along very well. Naturally, he does not want other unstable factors to appear.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with us which actor the crew uses, just let her go." Naomi Watts shook her head, as if she had no other ideas at all.
