Chapter 339 is for review
“I don’t agree with your opinion.” Tom said bluntly.
On the contrary, Steven calmed down and looked at Tom. After all, he invited Tom to Paris just to listen to his opinions. Of course, the most important reason was to hope that Tom and Anson would collide and see the chemical reaction.
Tom looked at Steven, "If you need me to shut up, please feel free to speak up."
"In my opinion, Anson has shown Frank's potential today, his pure And simplicity, his confidence and ease, his charm and fun, honestly, I haven’t seen such a young man in a long time.”
Steven looked at Tom with a playful expression, "Why didn't I see it?"
Tom shrugged lightly, "Maybe it's because of a preconceived impression? You see, as soon as you saw him, you already knew Labeled 'kid'; and I was biased before the conversation even started because he reminded me of myself when I was playing 'Grown Up'."
Steven chuckled, "His. The agent deserves all the credit.”
Tom was noncommittal, “But let’s put aside these prejudices for the time being and think carefully about the situation you created, as well as Anson’s response, including the studio’s response, and the dinner. Showing grace."
"Come on, Steven, you really can't ask for more."
"An eighteen-year-old kid, a newcomer who has only appeared in two works, the magnanimity and attitude he has shown are already convincing."
"He is a malleable talent, and may still not have enough experience, but I don’t think that would be an obstacle to him taking on the role of Frank Abagnale Jr.”
Crackling, a gust of wind.
Involuntarily, Steven fell into thinking and began to reflect——
Perhaps, he never gave up on Leonardo and insisted that Leonardo was the best choice, but because of Leon Nadeau had to make other considerations due to schedule conflicts, but when auditioning other actors, he still didn't abandon his preconceived stereotypes and made a decision before the audition?
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, Steven recalled one detail:
The first meeting in the studio.
When Anson appeared in front of him to formally greet him, the calmness and enthusiasm he showed were just right. It really overturned his preconceived impression, and even made his eyes a little surprised.
The chaotic thoughts were sorted out bit by bit, and Steven also regained his sense, "Okay."
Tom, "What?"
Steven, "We'll give him another chance to get in touch further."
"This time, we told his agent that this is an audition to see how the kid performs and whether he can continue "Bring a surprise."
Tom glanced at Steven and said slowly and calmly, "There is no need to be so solemn. Even if we don't tell them, they will probably know it later. , it’s clear what will happen when we meet next time. You vigorously reveal an answer that they are not even curious about. Believe me, you are the one who is embarrassed.”
Steven laughed dumbly, “Tom, are you sure? Don’t think I’m so troublesome and difficult now, but after the actors are confirmed, I basically don’t care. When the filming officially starts, the person who is really in trouble is not me.”
Steven trusts the actors. , it can even be said to be dependent on actors.
When selecting actors, he is particularly careful to match the actor's image, temperament and feeling, and then relies on the actor to give the character soul.
So, when entering the filming, unlike other directors, Steven rarely talks about the scene and rarely makes requests. He usually just lets the actors throw out something based on their own understanding and interpretation of the script, and he is responsible for capturing it. Responsible for refining the structure and letting the shots revolve around the actors.
In other words, once Steven confirms Anson, he will not find fault with him, but will be more inclined to trust the actor completely, even if he is a newcomer; naturally, the real troubles and difficulties will fall. On the actors.
For example, Tom.
After all, Steven has made it clear that the "cat-and-mouse game" is about watching the subtle and complex tension between the two characters of Frank and Carl.
After saying this sentence, Tom's smile paused at the corner of his mouth, with a simple and honest look, he met Steven's gaze with a kind look, "Okay, just take a look and take another look. We are not in a hurry anyway." "It's rare." After a trip across the Atlantic, there is no need to turn around and fly back for more than ten hours. Paris is still worth seeing.” While working as a mediator between major film companies, Tom is not as honest as he appears.
Now, the initiative comes to Steven.
Steven shifted his gaze slowly, "The Paris I see is different from what you see. If I want to experience Paris, I will come with Kate, and you should also come with Li Tower together.”
Obviously, this is a joke.
Kate-Capshaw, Steven’s wife; Rita-Wilson, Tom’s wife.
Tom's face was calm, "Don't worry, I will come here alone with Rita."
Here, Steven and Tom were having a discussion.
On the other side, Edgar also launched an investigation immediately as expected.
The investigation is somewhat difficult.
The news that Steven is selecting a cast for a new work is not a secret. You can find out with a little inquiry; but the problem is that Steven and Tom came to Paris on an official mission and made a special trip. Promote "Band of Brothers" as the series will be released on DVD set in France.
The conversation between Jeff Robinoff and Steven Spielberg was very secretive. No news leaked to Hollywood, so that the puzzle was missing a key piece and Edgar could not put it together quickly. .
It would make sense if Steven and Tom came to visit Anna and prepare to promote the DVD release in the French edition of "Vogue".
Is it really a coincidence to visit Anson?
"'Cat and Mouse Game'."
Turn around, Edgar told Anson the answer.
Although Edgar is not sure of the real situation, a good agent should firmly grasp the opportunity, even if it is not possible, he should create the possibility.
Now that they have appeared in Steven and Tom's field of vision, and since Steven is indeed selecting the cast for the new work, whether it is a coincidence or not, Edgar believes that they should firmly seize the opportunity.
"Anson, I know that I haven't seen the script yet, so I have no way of knowing the character and the quality of the script, but I think we should actively strive for it."
"That's Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. This reason is enough. Even if it's a bad movie, it doesn't matter even if it flops at the box office, but we should seize it. It's a rare opportunity."
Edgar was a little excited, and his thoughts expanded rapidly.
“Perhaps, this work can break the stereotype of idols as vase and enter the academy’s vision. Even if you cannot win any nominations this time, at least people will not continue to look at you simply as a vase.”< br>
This also means that Edgar's worries about the possible negative effects of modeling work have been easily solved. Even if "Cat and Mouse Game" is a commercial movie, it doesn't matter -
After all, it is Steve Vin and Tom.
Edgar looked at Anson with bright eyes. He was ready to continue persuading, but unexpectedly, Anson nodded sharply in reply.
"Okay." He said.
