Chapter 309： nourish

Christian Bale is really inspiring.

Speaking of actor career, the first twenty years have been wasted, laid the foundation, and played all kinds of strange roles.

The first brokerage company to sign up was Icm. Before caa fully emerged, it was the leader of the former Hollywood economic industry, with a lot of talents under its banner.

There are many artists, which also means that the competition pressure is high, and many opportunities have never been contaminated in his hands, and they have been divided up.

Seeing no future, he jumped to caa just when caa was most wanton.

It stands to reason that at that time, caa had not grown bigger and stronger, and had mastered certain film and television resources, it should be a good choice.

His age was right at that time, twenty-three or four years old, and he was a child star who made his debut.

What's more, he also has the qualifications to act under Spielberg. If he trains him well, it is not impossible for him to become popular and bring additional benefits to caa.

Unfortunately, it's useless. Like Icm, caa doesn't like to train new people.

He is still a man, and his appearance is not very prominent.

In other words, I can't walk the path of an idol artist.

Then give a **** resource, let's play slowly.

Okay, no attention again.

What to do then? Another one.

Christian Bale didn't do that, and was forced to follow the path of a powerful actor.

Why is it called forced?

You think, who can make a lot of money with their faces, who is willing to sink their hearts and perform, with a meager salary at the beginning?

What's more, he was short of money, so he took this road.

No way, people always have to live.

The way of the strong faction is the strong faction.

Since then, he has been involved in various independent film circles, acting in films that he does not know if they can be released or not, and often because of lack of work, he goes to TV dramas to play, and takes a pen to supplement his family.

After so many years of acting, the qualifications are old enough, but who knows the audience.

There is no famous or popular character to support, just showing his face on the screen, you can forget it in a blink of an eye.

Also known as the unpopular.

Therefore, although many directors or producers in the industry recognize his strength, he will not be reduced to no acting, but that's it.

From 1994, for ten years, there was no sound.

Until the restart of "Batman", he played the new Bruce Wayne despite a lot of doubts from the outside world. With this role, he swept away the decline for many years, and his career was booming, and he had a keen relationship with Christopher Nolan. Starred in the movie "Deadly Magic", which they cooperated again.

And now, does the situation seem to have improved ahead of time?

......

This invitation is sent through caa.

His agent is not a high-level figure either. If there is such an opportunity, how can he let it go.

He drove quickly to Christian Bale's house.

Bell lives in a high-end apartment near Hollywood, and the community environment is fairly secure.

As soon as he entered the door, Bell's mother called Bell out.

Knowing that it was a movie invitation, I immediately focused my attention.

She is not a very philistine person, but she still hopes that her son can become a big star and make a lot of money. Back then, bringing her son into the advertising circle was all an opportunity for her to accompany her in her spare time.

"What movie?" Bell was very calm. After all, he thought it was some other small crew who came to him to act...

"It's a new film from Firefly Pictures, directed by Zach Snyder."

"He." Bell was a little surprised. He has filmed many commercials, and he knows Zha Dao. To say that Zha Dao is at the top of the advertising circle.

"Firefly Pictures?" Bell's mother didn't care who was the director, but was very interested in investors.

"Is that "The Chainsaw"? Was that movie made by them?" She suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Yes, this movie is their new project."

"That's great." Belle's mother smiled.

After the two of them sat down, they brought a plate of sliced ​​fruit, and hurriedly went to make coffee enthusiastically.

Bell ate a strawberry and asked again, "How is the character? Is there a script?"

The agent shook his head, "There is no script, but according to the news I received, Firefly Pictures claimed to have a production cost of 70 million US dollars for this project. The one who invited you is still the male lead."

If I were to be another actor, I would be very pleasantly surprised to hear that there is such an opportunity, and it is still the male lead, but Bell did not. He has participated in too many auditions over the years, and it is not that he has not been brushed down, and this kind of The situation is still common, but it is still calm, "Did you say when to audition?"

"They notified that it was tomorrow afternoon, but they didn't say the specifics. They only asked you to go to Firefly Pictures."

Bell nodded and said nothing.

After Bell's mother came out, she handed over another coffee and treated her well.

After chatting for a while, the agent took the initiative to leave, and reminded before leaving: "I will come to pick you up at noon tomorrow, let's go earlier."

Bell also understood this, waved his hand, and said hello.

On the contrary, her mother was very active in sending people outside the house.

Over the years, the head of the family has been unreliable and his abilities are limited. The burden of the family's life has been supported by Christian Bale's money for acting and shooting commercials.

Although life is getting better slowly, she still has a lot of pressure in her heart.

So being able to watch his son become a big star is his greatest wish. She was very kind to anyone who would benefit his career.

On the other side, Director Zha was busy preparing for the crew again.

Lehman was fine, so he followed Joseph to recruit people.

Job advertisements have been running, but not many have actually entered the company.

It's not that Ryman doesn't want to train new employees, it's that he doesn't have that condition.

It's better to look for skilled people, especially in the administrative department. Joseph has a big head and can't be busy every day. Many things are concentrated together, which makes him more urgent to recruit people.

Going to the reception room, not long after, a candidate came.

It's a middle-aged man with a briefcase.

"Hello, sir, this is my resume."

Lehman opened it and found that this guy had worked in several film companies whose names he had never heard of, and he seemed to be quite qualified.

"Excuse me, what position do you come to the screen for?" Lehmann asked.

The man said, "I'm here to apply for the position of director of the production department."

Lehman said speechlessly: "I'm sorry, I'm holding this position."

The man said again: "The head of the marketing department can also do it."

"Someone has chosen."

"The Personnel Department?"

"There is."

"..."

What's the matter I wanted management from the beginning, and the key resumes are not good enough. Where does the confidence come from?

"Would you like to be someone's deputy?"

The man thought about it and nodded.

"Then you can report tomorrow, go through the entry procedures, the department is administrative, follow the company's specific arrangements, the monthly salary is 6,000 US dollars, do you have any comments?"

Feeling that he still had experience, Lehman directly left him to Joseph for arrangement, but he still started from the bottom, and the monthly salary was at this level. If he really had the ability, there was no room for improvement.

The man gritted his teeth, but agreed.

"Jonathan-William, right, remember to come to the company tomorrow." Lehmann handed over his resume and said again, "That's it, what else do you...have anything to do?" The obvious signal.

Jonathan smiled and left politely.
