American TV series

"Mr. John McTiernan, please, let me introduce you, this is my boss, Sean, Mr. Sean K. Rockefeller," Norris walked away with a thin white man.

Come in.

"Hello, sir." Hearing the surname Rockefeller, John McTiernan had a hint of nervousness on his face unconsciously. This surname means too many things in the United States.

"Hello." Sean shook hands with the other person and looked carefully. He looked very young in his 30s. As for his appearance, he couldn't tell anything.

John McTiernan graduated from The Juilliard School, majoring in drama, and later studied cinematography at the American Film Institute.

This guy later became famous for directing "Predator" and "Die Hard with a Vengeance", so Sean had a slightly vague impression of him.

But for now, I have only shot commercials and have nothing to show off, so I cherish this opportunity when a company invites him to shoot a movie.

After a brief chat, I took the script and read it carefully.

In Sean's impression, many famous directors were born as photographers. In his memory, there are Liu Weiqiang, Du Kefeng, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei, Sunglasses King, etc. There are also many great directors abroad who were born as photographers.

After John McTiernan finished reading the script, Sean mentioned his focus and requirements for the filming of the film.

As a new director who has never made a movie before, John is very knowledgeable and has the awareness to serve his father, the financial sponsor. He has been expressing his thoughts in accordance with Sean's requirements.

When Sean mentioned that the bank could provide a vault, the police would act in their true colors, and he had a professional security company to cooperate with the performance, John was also shocked.

As a commercial advertising director, John does not have a strong pursuit of art. He knows how to attract the audience and how to shoot things so that the audience likes them. He stayed in Sean's villa for the whole day, discussing some shooting ideas with Sean and revising them.

Some scripts include things that are too difficult to shoot, or things that are not pleasing to the eye, in order to achieve a higher utilization rate of funds.

A commercial is only a few tens of seconds or shorter, and John also has great experience in how to reduce unnecessary shots.

Overall, Sean was very satisfied and signed a film shooting contract directly with John in the evening, with the director's salary of US$100,000.

After the director was done, the rest went directly to the casting process. In this regard, the company has its own casting director. It has already gone through two rounds of screening, and there was a lot less information in front of Sean and director John.

Looking at the person who came in through the door, Sean blinked in surprise, why did this guy come?

He reached out and flipped through the information, and sure enough he saw Nicolas Cage's name below. He tilted his head and leaned into Norris's ear and asked, "How much does this guy get paid? Why would he be willing to come?"

Sean clearly remembers that this guy only degenerated into the king of bad movies in the later period. Could it be said that Nicolas Cage now has a bad movie system?

Or are you saying that your movie wants to be popular?

"He's not well paid now." Norris looked at Sean strangely. He didn't expect Sean to know this unknown guy. "He has only starred in two movies. The other roles were all relying on his uncle.

He got it through his connections, and this guy even changed his name in order to prove that he was indeed capable. In fact, no one in the industry knows that he is a member of the Italian gang, otherwise he would not have the ability to participate in so many films."

Norris said with a smile.

"Perhaps, in order to prove myself, I deliberately avoided the Italian gang and came to pick up films from outside. Young people always feel that they can do anything."

Sean nodded and said nothing. Playing a second-generation actor, starting at a high level will also receive some criticism, which is normal.

Watching Cage and John communicate, Sean suddenly interjected: "Let's put on a show."

Cage was stunned. He had no idea what Sean's position was, but he dared to directly interrupt the director, so he took it seriously.

"I almost laughed out loud," Sean said.

Cage grinned but immediately retracted it, raising his hand to cover it up.

"Fortunately I still held back."

Cage raised his hand and scratched his head.

"Finally I couldn't bear it anymore."

"Pfft." Cage twitched and grinned.

"Laugh out loud."

"Hahahaha!" Cage opened his mouth and laughed loudly.

"Not bad!" Sean raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "That's what it tastes like."

Cage put away his smile and looked confused, having no idea what was wrong with Sean.

"It's you, I like it!" Sean raised his finger and pointed at Cage.

Cage immediately looked at the director with surprise on his face. When he saw the director smiling and nodding, he immediately waved his fist in excitement. This was a role that he had fought for by himself without the protection of his family. It would be strange to be unhappy.

"Thank you, sir." Cage didn't know Sean's name, so he stood up and bowed deeply.

Sean smiled and nodded.

After Cage left, several more people came in, none of whom were familiar to Sean, so he didn't interrupt and waited until a man with dyed blond hair walked in.

Sean's eyes lit up and he flipped through the information in his hand again. Sure enough, it was him, Bruce Willis.

What makes Sean funny is that Bruce Willis actually has hair at this time. It seems that this guy has not yet understood the meaning of "I am bald and I am stronger".

At this time, Bruce Willis was already 30 years old, and he had been performing on Broadway most of the time. Of course, he also played some minor roles in some movies. According to the normal trajectory, he will participate in the Let's Play movie in a few months.

He is famous for his famous TV series "Blue Moonlight Detective Agency".

"Do you know why you didn't succeed until you were 30?" Sean suddenly interrupted again, and John immediately shut up and looked over.

"Me?" Bruce pursed his lips and thought for a moment before replying: "My acting skills are not good enough."

"Wrong!" Sean slapped the table hard, startling everyone, "It's because you haven't met the person who...shaves your hair yet!"

John:???

Bruce looked around and had no idea what expression he should show at this moment. It was very simple.

"Shave your hair off, and then this role will be yours." Sean said with a straight face.

"I..." Bruce looked at the director for help. He was completely confused now.

John didn't know what Sean was up to, but he was the sponsor's father, so he smiled and nodded: "Yes, I think your bald look is more in line with the character's temperament."

"Okay, okay, sir." Bruce nodded, hesitated and asked, "Does that mean that this character..."

"Yes, come and sign the contract tomorrow." Sean made the decision directly.

After walking out of the room, Bruce still didn't react too well. He was very happy to be chosen, but a little...

Too bald.
