Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 77 The main road used to be



Night fell on time, and the mirror-like moon hung in the sky, trying to pour out the light of clear water to the vast land.

The evening wind was blowing slightly, blowing the leaves, and on the road, the silhouettes of pedestrians were drawn very long by the moonlight.

In this night of Luofu, the meticulous embellishment of fireworks is naturally indispensable.

The bright lights in the distance continue to extend, and finally constitute the bustling city of Los Angeles.

In a simply decorated apartment, Heath Ledger stood by the window sill of the bedroom and looked up - there are no stars in the night sky tonight, only a few lonely stars, supporting them with all their strength, they are scattered and flickering, Like abandoned glass marbles.

The whole night sky is like an ink tray, and there is a layer of faint clouds in the sky, which makes the night sky that is not bright even more misty.

Sometimes I can't say why, for example, I prefer a deserted and slightly cool night.

He stood quietly, his thoughts continued to diverge, until he heard the sound of the neighbor opening and closing the door from downstairs, and then he gradually came back to his senses.

Back on the sofa, Heath Ledger turned on the TV.

Randomly press which program, just leave it as it is.

In the days when he lived alone, he was used to doing it.

Don't watch, but love the sound coming out of the TV.

Make yourself a cup of coffee, pick up the books you didn't read last night, and continue reading.

The night was long, and when he couldn't sleep, only words could bring him joy.

While enjoying it, suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.

Heath Ledger put down his books, walked over to his desk and picked up his cell phone, looking at it, the number showed his agent, Mr. Davis.

He pressed the switch and said, Hi, Davis? Is there anything you want me to do?

Immediately, I heard Davis' familiar voice, Dude, you know, I received a message from the company, and another crew has sent you an audition invitation. His tone could be heard even through the phone. Hear his joy.

Wow! Really? Haha. Heath Ledger was surprised and happy about the content of the news.

This kind of thing is not common, let alone the other day he just auditioned for the Kelly Party crew, but was invited again.

In his past career, he was more about taking the initiative to find audition opportunities, which were often unavailable.

This feeling of being sought after is unexpectedly very beautiful.

Heart beating faster, Heath Ledger held the phone and walked to the sofa to sit down and asked excitedly, Very good news. But, Davis, can I know which crew invited me? What's the role like? When is the audition date?

He has been staying at home every day recently, watching some old movies, pondering the performances of some old actors, or reading books or taking a walk. Whether it is physically or mentally, he is longing for a role. But I didn't expect that after a period of idle time, I received two more invitations to audition.

This is really an urgent decision.

Yes, it can only be described as impatient, he likes to perform, and also enjoys the inexplicable feeling of comfort brought to him when he plays different roles.

Intoxicated and infatuated.

Davis on the other side of the phone didn't immediately answer his question, instead, there was a very hearty laughter that couldn't be concealed, Man, I have good news for you.

What good news? Isn't it just now? Although Heath Ledger was puzzled, he looked forward to it more and more.

Of course, this is better news. Davis said in a very relaxed tone, Remember the audition for the Kelly Party cast four days ago?

Heath Ledger said um to show that he still remembered.

It was a fellow from Australia who was funded by Universal Pictures.

Created a feature film project.

Because of the relationship between the same region, when the director auditioned for him, he was very kind to him.

As far as I know, director Greg Jordan made a quick decision that he has you in his heart as the lead character in his film.

Craig - Jordan is the director from Australia, and Heath - Ledger audition is also Kelly Party actor - Ned - Kelly.

Heath Ledger, who was sitting on the sofa, was stunned, then immediately reacted, and asked, Really? Has Director Greg made a decision? What does Universal Pictures think?

He was naturally very happy when he heard the result, but it didn't mean anything more.

Because Universal Pictures is an investor, they still need to get their approval, otherwise...

Relying on the approval of the director alone, although it is cruel, but Heath Ledger still thinks in his heart that there is no right to speak, it is always the case.

He has also been impressed by various unreasonable reasons before, but it is not every time he can successfully win the role of the audition.

But Davis seemed confident, You have a great chance, you have the qualifications for a one-man show like Buried Alive, and you have been recognized by the market, plus the director's own optimism, I can't think of any rejection from them. reason.

It seems that this is indeed the case. Heath Ledger thought about the previous news and asked again: Then, what about the audition notice you mentioned earlier? When? Where? held?

The new film directed by Lyman Last, according to the news released by Paramount Pictures and Europa Pictures, the theme of the film will be a feature film of the World War II genre, and three days later, it will be held at the headquarters of Paramount Pictures. The audition for the role. Davis organized the language and continued: Did you have a relationship with him? During the filming of Buried Alive.

Have a relationship? Heath Ledger recalled that time, and it was not clear what kind of friendship he could have.

Director's approval? Did the shooting go well? Or is it the remuneration money given before leaving?

He shook his head, not feeling that there would be any friendship in it.

He is an actor, and it is his duty to play a good role, and the rest are not much born on this basis?

Probably... no, I haven't contacted him since then.

I really want to get in touch, but I don't know how. Heath Ledger went to France alone, and after filming, he returned to the United States without leaving any contact information.

Later, he went to Australia to rest for a while, until Buried Alive received a good response from the box office market, and he also signed a good agency for it.

Playing a role, getting paid, and making progress in your career, isn't that enough?

Heath Ledger is not a person who likes to be in a relationship. Even though Lyman made a lot of noise after the Christmas Film Festival, he did not bother each other.

He doesn't like to dig into these things, he can live his own life well, it's fine.

Davis is also aware of the personality of the artist he signed. Seeing him say this, although he felt a little disappointed, he still maintained a relaxed tone and said, It's okay, maybe the shooting schedule of these two films will conflict, The Kelly Party The filming will start soon, and we can't be distracted.

The words say so, but they are purely to comfort themselves, and of course, to comfort the other party.

The two projects, both in terms of investment amount and market prospects, are obviously better than the latter. He got the audition news from Fury as soon as he got the news of the audition, so he called to inform him, and also wondered if he could catch both projects. live.

But obviously, I guessed that the two sides will have friendship after cooperation, and the idea of ​​whether they can exert some force on the side and strive for a better chance of winning has failed. In Heath-Ledger's words, it is taken for granted that the two sides are only cooperating step by step. It really does not mean friendship, which makes people think a lot.

Davis even thought that when they were filming, there might have been a conflict, otherwise there would be no room for communication at all?

It's no wonder Davis thought too much. He only signed Heath Ledger's actor contract half a year ago, and he didn't participate in what happened during the filming of Buried Alive, so he didn't know anything about it.

But obviously Heath Ledger's slightly hesitant answer just now is leading people to think in that direction subconsciously.

After all, the friendship understood by the two is fundamentally different.

Heath Ledger must be thinking that it is just an ordinary cooperation, where is there any special statement, and everyone is not very familiar with it.

Davis felt that there was no friendship at all. It must have been some conflict during filming, and the relationship was bad.

Different ideas mean different understandings.

Heath Ledger pursed his lips. He couldn't agree with the agent's words. He had not really decided what to do, and he had already begun to consider whether there would be a conflict between the filming schedules of the two film projects.

Maybe there will be no characters in the two movies by then?

Of course, I think so, but it's another thing to say, Davis, help me confirm the audition notice, I will try it when the time comes.

Well, it doesn't matter if you try, but I will help you pay more attention to the Kelly Party. I see what Director Greg meant. You have a really good chance of being able to play smoothly.

Okay, I see... that's it, bye.

After politely finishing his concluding remarks, Heath Ledger pressed the hang up button on his mobile phone. After thinking about it, he took a sip of coffee and continued to read.

As for the timing issue? What to choose or not to choose? What are the chances? Wouldn't it come naturally by then? Thinking so much is useless except to bring trouble.

The aroma of coffee lingers in the nostrils, creating a relaxing atmosphere for both body and mind.

In the room, the orange headlights were bright, the TV was still on, and there was a TV show that I didn't know the name of.

Outside the window, from time to time the dog's cries came, causing bursts of movement.

The night is getting deeper and deeper...
