Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!
Evan Bell is a very patient person, not because of two generations, largely because he has been polishing in the market for a long time, especially after the acquisition of Pixar, Evan Bell has become more and more calm. down. Publicity is a kind of personality, and calmness in the negotiation process is an attitude.
In fact, today's situation is not that complicated. To put it bluntly, Evan Bell participated in the interview for the actor of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". It was as simple as that.
Evan Bell is the passive party, and Paramount Pictures is the party that has the initiative and decision-making power, but David Fincher has been going around in circles, not even wanting to confront Evan Bell head-on. .
In this desperation, Evan Bell tried to bring the topic to the topic of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" only three times, and the third time he directly pointed out the words, which made David Fincher a little bit. stunned. After Evan Bell finished that sentence, he went on to say, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, I am very interested in the role of Benjamin Button, if possible, I hope we can have cooperation. Chance."
Immediately, everything was spread out.
David Fincher was stunned and did not speak. Brad Gray took over the responsibility of activating the atmosphere. "Evan, why are you interested in this role?" Brad Gray chuckled twice. , "To be honest, I was taken aback when I received your call yesterday, and of course it made me very happy. This is such a rare opportunity."
In the face of Brad Gray's lively words, Evan Bell did not intend to continue being polite. Although he had a smile on his face, his words were very frank, "The script, of course, the script. I am the same as David. , I love this script very much. I once read the short stories of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' and was very interested in this story. The level of this story is no less exciting than 'Forrest Gump'."
Evan Bell did not politely say that he has always been in love with David Fincher, nor did he say that he was very honored to be able to participate in such a work, and even Evan Bell did not mention the character itself, Just locked the focus on the topic of short stories.
Evan Bell's remarks explained the source of his interest in the script of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". He had not even read the script, so he firmly stated that he wanted to participate in the competition for the male lead. The reason immediately became clear. .
Brad Gray showed a stunned expression, and when he was about to continue to answer, David Finch had already woken up from his stupor, and he cut off Brad Gray's next words, " Sorry Evan, I'm afraid I'm going to say 'no' to you."
A decisive answer straightened out all the situation, and even before the whole conversation started, David Fincher had already choked the hot atmosphere and sentenced Evan Bell to death. The atmosphere at the table suddenly cooled down.
Both Teddy Bell and Brad Gray looked very surprised, but the focus of their surprises was different.
Brad Gray is because of David Fincher's lack of face. Before today's meeting, Brad Gray and David Fincher had a conversation, but David Fincher did not express any words at the time. Opinion.
Brad Gray emphasized that now Evan Bell has an extraordinary position in the entertainment industry, whether it is an actor with unparalleled box office appeal such as Tom Cruise and Will Smith, or Tom Hank Actors with outstanding acting skills, such as Sean Penn, are not as good as Evan Bell. Evan Bell can take into account both literary and commercial appeal. He has a certain degree of influence on audiences, film critics, distributors, and theater chains. Therefore, no matter whether Evan Bell will play the role of "Benjamin Button" in the end. In this work, David Fincher should first and foremost take Evan Bell into consideration, and this is also a good publicity stunt for the work itself, which is very important for the future publicity strategy of the film. is very helpful.
This is also the reason why David Fincher has been avoiding the topic of Evan Bell today and is going in circles. It can be seen that it is estimated that David Fincher is not interested in Evan Bell. After all, to play a role from an infant to an 80-year-old man requires a deep social background. David Fincher is understandably not optimistic about Evan Bell. So David Fincher didn't plan to give Evan Bell a chance from the beginning, but because of Brad Gray's explanation, he has never spoken coldly.
But when Evan Bell pointed out the words, David Fincher, although a little surprised, didn't give him any room to maneuver, and just said it to death. It can be seen from this that David Fincher is very gentle on the surface, but the rebelliousness in his bones cannot be hidden.
And Teddy Bell was surprised because David Fincher refused! Evan Bell has almost never been rejected since his debut. It has always been Evan Bell rejecting others, especially after the quality of Evan Bell's works in the past two years has become more and more sophisticated, the whole of Hollywood can accept Evan Bell. of unlimited potential.
Just from the perspective of an actor, he has won Oscar nominations for his acting skills for five consecutive years, and many consecutive works have performed well at the box office, all of which prove Evan Bell's ability. It is no wonder that major film companies will turn to Evan Bell Extend an olive branch. Evan Bell can confidently say that the reason why he will not be rejected is because he has this strength! But today, David Fincher outright rejected Evan Bell, which is indeed an unexpected result.
But compared to the surprise of the two bystanders, Evan Bell and David Finch were very calm.
Evan Bell was not in a hurry at all, nor was he angry, but seriously asked, "Can you tell me the reason?" Evan Bell's smile was kind, but his eyes were firm and undeniable, "I am very interested in this work. I really like it, and I hope to get the opportunity to act this time.”
David Fincher pursed his lips, "I already have the most suitable candidate in my mind, so I can only say sorry to you." David Fincher's personality is not as sharp as Evan Bell. , he is the sharpness hidden in the blood in his bones, and every word is polite, but the denial that leaves no room for it is a needle hidden in the cotton.
No one from the major film companies will reject Evan Bell because of their interests. If Evan Bell is willing to appear in Universal Pictures' commercial blockbusters, it is estimated that Universal Pictures will also nod and agree. This is the film company's position. But not everyone in Hollywood will chase after Evan Bell, far from the Cannes Film Festival, and recently, David Fincher is a very representative example.
In fact, Evan Bell still has a gap in his heart. He came here with 120% enthusiasm for the role of Benjamin Button. There was the clown first and then Benjamin Button. Evan Bell was in 0 years. It is entirely possible to experience a year of great explosion of acting skills. This inevitable mood also makes Evan Bell full of expectations.
But after the meeting, David Fincher's attitude has always been lukewarm, and he finally changed his mind in Evan Bell's humor, and then he was poured cold water by David Fincher. This is really Somewhat frustrating.
Evan Bell did not hide his emotions, and his disappointment was directly shown on his face, "That's really disappointing, I was thinking about winning a performance opportunity and using my actual actions to convince Yours. But now it looks like I didn't even get a chance to interview."
Evan Bell's retreat made Brad Gray a little embarrassed, and he couldn't help but glance at David Fincher. If Paramount Pictures had blocked Evan Bell, who was personally delivered to the door, outside of other film companies, there would be many people who would gloat at the misfortune; even putting that aside, Brad Gray and Evan Bell's personal relationship doesn't allow this to happen either. Brad Gray wanted to say something to lighten the mood, and if it was David Fincher, it would be more effective.
David Fincher also seemed to feel Evan Bell's sincerity, or he didn't want to offend Brad Gray, the moneymaker who paid for it, and he also said, "It's just a matter of my personal preference. You But every director dreams of a good actor, I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate next time."
Evan Bell couldn't help laughing bitterly. David Fincher is really a master. Even in polite and moderate scenes, he still didn't leave any leeway, and he still eliminated all possibilities. , giving Evan Bell no chance to try at all. This smiling personality director seems to have little interest in Evan Bell.
Perhaps seeing the scene was too rigid, Brad Gray finally couldn't help but speak, "Evan, you know, things haven't been decided yet, and the choice of actors is a long process. Scheduling coordination and actor matching need to be slowly adjusted. If you can join the crew of 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', then it will definitely be a happy event."
Brad Gray rounded up the topic without blocking the possibilities at all. This is obviously not going to be a standoff with Evan Bell.
David Fincher, who was sitting opposite Evan Bell, was still indifferent, but his eyes that had not yet lowered were flickering with unquestionable stubbornness. It could be seen that his courtesy towards Brad Gray was complete. Disagree.
Evan Bell is a person who knows how to read words very well. He also knows that David Fincher has no plans to hire him at all. It is completely his own wishful thinking and Brad Gray's wishful thinking. Thinking of this, the regrets in Evan Bell's heart surged up, "It's really a good opportunity to be able to work with David, maybe, the timing is not right this time, this is my loss.
