Boston, Grand Hotel.
In a business reception room, Martin Scorsese met his namesake young actor.
He has a restrained temperament and is unremarkable except for being a little handsome.
Just like many of the regular detectives he'd seen in the detective bureau in the afternoon.
The two had already said hello, and Scorsese asked directly: "Why are you 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. I want to get your approval in the audition, even if it is only 100%. I will give 100% effort if I have the same 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 the 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 was naturally impressed. As a veteran director, he knows the importance of investors.
Not to mention the filming of the film, investors are still expected to continue to pay for the prizes.
He asked again: "Aren't you from Boston? 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 was a 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 abandon 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 said only: "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 took the initiative to shake his hand: "That's it for today."
Martin said goodbye and left.
Scorsese sat back in his chair and considered.
There is no doubt that the other party is a young actor who takes his work proactively and seriously, 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.
Allen knocked on the door and came in at this time and asked: "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."
Allen 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 chair aside: "That 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 pondered a little and said, "Please ask around."
Allen took out his cell phone, made a few calls, and said, "Damon is in Los Angeles, preparing to stand for Harvey Weinstein's wife's fashion conference."
"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. He is more suitable for killing Colin's Ding Genan."
“What a great idea,” Scorsese said.
Wouldn't this solve the problem? Investors can also all be in place.
Allen 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, had full control over the role.
Under Menei's new verbal attack, she repeated what she had said to Scorsese last night.
Although the feedback from the old director last night was excellent, 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."
Mene 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 want to be the protagonist and have a stable income. When I am in my 50s or 60s, I will be content with Morgan Freeman."
Martin said: "You can see Morgan Freeman on the set of 'Wanted' back in the day."
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 extended 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.
As it relates to competing for the next Oscar, Scorsese is striving for perfection, 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 so many times, these guys thought 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 reception, 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 accepted it.
Martin sent out dozens of crocodile tooth pendants in one go.
After the reception, 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 over."
I can't help it, I have too many friends and not enough pendants to give.
Martin gave the remaining few 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 really 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 only those with skills can live a better life."
Mene fully agrees: "I can't count how many old women I have gone through before I developed the skills I have now."
Bruce took out a bottle of wind oil essence given to him by Martin 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."
Mene 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.
Now it feels normal. Kim Kardashian has told him more than once that Paris is no 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.
When I got off the plane and came to the apartment, I didn't see the fat landlord.
Martin inquired about the tenants, and Antonio went to a club party.
The entry requirements for that club required millions of assets ten years ago.
Arriving on 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 mobile phone and waited for Lao Bu to open the door and enter the apartment.
The apartment was spotless, and Jessica and Emily, who came after them, had specially cleaned it last night.
Thomas got through 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 relaxed a little: "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 Ding Genan who killed Colin."
