Chapter 37: Reservation of roles (please collect and read)

Avalon, one of the most famous nightclubs in Los Angeles, has a history of several decades and has always been a trendsetter, especially in the glamorous world of Hollywood. It is a place of entertainment chosen by many actors and singers.

Not far away, a Lamborghini-Muselago slowly drove over, attracting the attention of many people.

At this time, there was a long queue at the door of Avalon. A large number of men and women wanted to enter and explore this famous entertainment venue, including many tourists from all over the world.

The car stopped on the side of the road, Eric came out, threw the key to the parking boy, and the security guard at the door did not even mean to stop him and let him in directly.

"Why doesn't he have to queue?"

Someone behind him shouted in dissatisfaction, but the security guard was too lazy to explain to such a person, but someone else answered him.

"If you also drive a Lamborghini, they will let you in!"

Laughter suddenly rang around, and the air became much happier.

Walking into the interior, rock music instantly filled the eardrums, but it was not the kind of heavy metal, but the soothing type. Many men and women were swaying on the dance floor.

Seeing Eric, a waiter immediately came over, and the two whispered a few words. The waiter led him to a booth.

"Eric Cooper, you are late, I was worried that you would break the appointment!"

Warren stood up and pulled Eric to the middle, and Ryan Reynolds poured him half a glass of wine.

Eric took a sip and said, "I didn't mean to be late, it's your call that was too late. I'm reading the script, I have to finish it."

When he heard the word script, Ryan Reynolds' ears perked up as if they had detected a UFO: "What script?"

"A TV series, zombie-type, not suitable for you, Ryan. Your face is more suitable for the big screen, that's the way you should go, forget about the small screen."

When he heard it was a TV series, Ryan Reynolds was instantly uninterested. He had slowly walked out of the small screen, and he didn't want to go back to the past, unless he became a first-line movie star.

You should know that there is a cruel but widely circulated saying in the entertainment industry, that is, movies are higher than TV.

Although I don't know where this saying comes from, and no one dares to publicly support this saying, it is an invisible fact and a truth that is tacitly accepted by everyone.

First-line movie stars and first-line TV stars, just sound like two worlds.

This is not a generation difference, but a class difference!

So it's okay for movie actors to act in TV series, but it's difficult for TV actors to act in movies.

Until 2002, George Clooney was the only first-line movie star who emerged from the TV drama industry.

Many actors who have become famous on the small screen have tried their best to break this barrier, but they are like moths to a flame and have never succeeded.

For example, Eric's favorite "Friends", after the accumulation of the previous seasons, the six main actors have become first-line TV actors, and Aniston has become the representative of American sweethearts with Rachel.

But even with such a big reputation, it is still difficult to enter the film industry. For example, in the movie "Hannibal" produced by MGM last year, the role of the heroine Starling was vacant due to Jodie Foster's resignation.

Aniston naturally wanted to seize this opportunity, but even if she used her connections and her acting skills, she still lost to Julianne Moore in the end. There are too many similar situations. Even if she is not good enough, others will have no chance.

Warren and Eric clinked their glasses: "Zombie theme, is it the "Walking Dead" you mentioned?"

"Yes, this drama has been in the works for a while. Today, the screenwriter showed me the first draft, but it still needs to be revised. It's not deep enough."

"It's just a TV series, why are you so demanding?"

"This is the first TV series of the new MGM, and I'm the one leading it. We must strive for perfection. At the same time, the struggle of human nature is also the selling point of "The Walking Dead."

Warren shrugged: "You are the boss, you have the final say, but today I asked you out for Ryan."

Eric looked at Ryan Reynolds, who scratched his head awkwardly: "Sorry Eric, you recommended me to audition for the male lead in "Saw", but I messed up. I wasted this good opportunity. Opportunity, sorry!"

Warren added wine to Eric: "This is not Ryan's problem. His audition result is actually very good, but the new director named James Wan found an actor from nowhere and replaced Ryan in a muddle. "

"Eric, I know you are very optimistic about this movie. Your vision is always right. For such a high-quality project, shouldn't everyone sit together and audition at the same time? I think that director is not fair. Maybe he has his own selfishness. "

"And what I mean is, why not give such a high-quality project to your own people? Ryan works very hard. Even for a bad movie like "Sharknado", he works very hard"

Warren didn't continue, but Eric already understood what he meant. He wanted him to put pressure on James Wan.

With a slight smile, Eric put his arm on the shoulders of the two and pulled them closer: "Warren, Ryan, I understand what you mean, but there is one thing you don't know. Patrick Wilson was also recommended by me."

Instantly, the scene was a little awkward. Both of them didn't know what to say, and Ryan Reynolds wanted to run away immediately.

"Ryan, I recommended both of you to James Wan at the time, so I'm sure he's fair. Maybe Patrick is more suitable."

Ryan Reynolds held his forehead with his hand and said nothing. He was still a little kid and didn't dare to question the big boss.

Seeing him like this, Eric couldn't bear it. He tricked him into acting in a bad movie like "Sharknado". Not only did he not perfunctorily do it, but he also worked hard. As a result, he was hurt again. It seemed unreasonable not to compensate him.

After thinking about it, Eric said, "I have a big project coming up soon. I'll leave the second male lead to you. How about it?"

Ryan Reynolds hesitated: "Big project?"

"Yes, A-level production standard, the investment will not be less than 500 million US dollars, are you interested?"

Hearing the cost of 500 million, Ryan Reynolds was stunned. After 12 years of debut, the movie with the largest investment he participated in was "The King of Repeaters", which was said to be 12 million US dollars. He didn't even dare to think about a super blockbuster of 500 million US dollars.

"What? Are you not satisfied with the second male lead? You don't want to book the male lead directly?"

"Ryan, speak up, speak up!"

Warren pushed Ryan Reynolds hastily, and the latter finally reacted and nodded hurriedly: "I'm interested, very interested, I can do anything you need me to do, just give me this role."

I still hope that everyone will not support the book, ask for rewards, and ask for monthly tickets.
