The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 208 The Butterfly Effect
From any point of view, "Murder by Numbers" was far from a success, and Richard Crystal's career as a producer was officially over -

This is a mainstream movie produced by Warner Bros., with an investment of 50 million US dollars, and released widely in North America. The movie company naturally expects the movie to be profitable.

However, the film actually only earned US$56 million at the box office. After deducting distribution and promotion expenses, the movie company, distribution company and theater chain then divided the box office dividends. In the end, Warner Bros. lost nearly US$30 million.

Although the loss of 30 million US dollars is a drop in the bucket for a company of Warner Bros.'s level, don't forget that Richard Crystal has been producing independent films and TV series. His first mainstream film failed miserably, and his prospects in Hollywood It was cut off immediately.

However, for the audience, the awareness of "Murder by Numbers" is on another level, and the three actors Sandra Bullock, Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt are treasures.

Look back to the present moment.

Richard Crystal, Sandra Bullock, Ryan Gosling, each name fits together, pointing to the work "Murder by Numbers" in every aspect.

Does this mean that Brad Renfroe really has a once-in-a-lifetime project?
Judging from the timeline, "Murder by Numbers" should be Sandra's choice of work before "Beautiful Girl" became a hit at the box office, demonstrating her ambition to transform. Later, the success of "Beautiful Girl" made Sandra postpone her transformation plan, but "Murder by Numbers" is still a possibility, proving Sandra's different possibilities.

Therefore, after "Murder by Numbers", Sandra still tried slowly step by step, from "Crash" to "Notorious" to "Weakness", three steps in ten years, achieving Sandra's best Oscar A major achievement for the actress, she later became the highest-paid actress in Hollywood at the age of thirty-eight.

The importance of this step in "Digital Murder" is evident.

And it is worth mentioning that this movie successfully brought together Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling to fall in love. This couple, who are 16 years apart, really attracted a lot of attention. Although the two did not get married, But this work has always had special meaning for Ryan.

That’s how Anson learned about the work “Murder by Numbers.”

Now, Brad Renfroe is on Richard Crystal's radar?
If Brad stars in this work, even though the movie is not successful, it can bring him into the public eye and reopen the door to Hollywood. Does this mean that Brad's career will also usher in a second spring, completely overcoming the haze of the past? Leave it behind?

So, which role does Richard think Brad is suited for, Ryan Gosling's or Michael Pitt's? If Brad starred in this work, could it change the fate of the movie? Will it change the fate of the actors and enter an earth-shaking parallel universe?

Has the influence of Anson's little butterfly finally begun to radiate to other friends around him?
Of course, it's still too early.

Not to mention that Brad has not yet won the role, he was even "abandoned" by Richard, hanging in mid-air without getting up or down, and fell into confusion and panic——

In Hollywood, this is the norm, waiting and waiting, and then...no more.

Even if Brad has successfully won the role, it does not mean that he can become the second Ryan Gosling or the second Michael Pitt.

They need to calm down and take it one step at a time.

So, what should you do now?
Thoughts were raging in his mind for a short moment, and Anson looked at Brad again, "Take a deep breath, Brad, take a deep breath, the opportunity has not slipped away."

"You just said that the producer needs to visit another actor?"

Brad nodded.

Anson smiled and said, "Then let's look for them together."

Brad was stunned, "Then what?" Anson lightly shrugged, "Then let's start a fair competition in an upright and fair manner. No, this is not a competition, it's just social interaction and ordinary conversation. Everyone has the opportunity to communicate with the producer and director Have a conversation and everyone has a chance to make an impression and prove they are the best choice.”

Brad blurted out, "But, in front of the other actors?"

Auditions for independent films are often one-on-one with the director or producer. They do not hire an audition company, nor do they invite a group of actors to audition collectively.

There is not even an audition. The director likes a certain actor and hands the project plan or script to the actor through the agent. If he is interested, both parties can sit down and talk.

Brad has always been accustomed to this mode, and suddenly he has to actively promote himself, and he seems to be in a hurry.

Anson believes that things are not that complicated. Just change the angle. "You should think of it this way. Other actors may not be competitors. Maybe they are your partners. Stand in front of the producer or director and show the difference between you and other actors." The chemical reaction between each other inspires inspiration.”

"Perhaps, it was just a project on paper originally, but because of the spark between you, the project has been given new vitality and gained more attention and support. Even investors have more hopes for the project and are willing to increase investment. It’s all a good thing.”

Involuntarily, Brad was stunned. He could clearly feel that his tense nerves had relaxed, and his pensive expression had clearly started brainstorming.

Anson patted Brad's arm lightly, "Hey, I'll think about it later. So, where is that Richard Crystal?"

Anson knew the name - his memory was very vague, and he had no idea about the face. Brad still needed to find the target.

Brad looked a little confused.

Anson was not nervous, "Which sofa were you just chatting on?"

Jeff Robinov's villa is very big, very, very big. Before they even had time to walk around it, they already felt the vastness of the area, but it didn't matter. Those were the places where people gathered, leaving aside the private space. Don't tell me, you can always find clues.

First, he returned to the starting point, and then searched in the direction Richard left. Coupled with Anson's social skills, he briefly talked with the guests and waiters to search for clues and details. In less than fifteen minutes, Brad was there Under a palm tree, I saw Richard with a focused and intoxicated expression.

Another bald head.

This is already the second one tonight, but unlike Jeff, Richard looks very short and thin. Even among the women coming and going, he is completely swallowed up. He is completely inconspicuous in the crowd, a bit like a hobbit. Just like when people break into the world of elves, they may miss it if they are not paying attention.

The bald head, on the other hand, plays the role of a light bulb and can easily position itself in the crowd.

It can be seen from the movements of Richard's hands that he is a comedy character. Because his appearance is not an advantage, he needs other skills to survive in Hollywood, just like a jester.

However, even if you miss Richard, you won't miss Ryan Gosling standing opposite him.
