Chapter 364： 2 rounds of bidding

"British Curtis came to reply." In addition to the good news of "Pirates of the Caribbean",

Teddy Bell also brought the news of "true love comes first". "They said that this play has a lot of actors, and it is not easy for everyone to get together. So they plan to start filming around December, and each actor will follow his own schedule. You can schedule your own time.”

Mentioning this, Evan Bell paused with the fork in his right hand, he suddenly remembered, Keira Knightley, the English rose, she is about to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the role of Elizabeth Swan. Kok Sè, although not in a relationship with Captain Jack, is the heroine of the movie.

At the same time, Keira Knightley also starred in the movie "Love Matters". She is the object of the classic paper confession outside the window in the movie. That scene is a classic, and Evan Bell's memory is still vivid.

Keira-Knightley has taken into account both "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Love Actually", and maybe the schedule really isn't an issue. However, Evan-Bell didn't immediately nod, and started eating the pasta on the plate again. "What about the thing I said later?"

Catherine Bell sat next to her with a glass of warm water and listened carefully to the conversation of her sons. She might not have been able to help out with suggestions... but listening to the lives of her sons would give her a sense of being involved in herself. sense of security.

"Hugh Grant is indeed the first choice for "Love Matters" recently. Having said that, Teddy Bell glanced at his brother and asked curiously, "How do you know that Richard Curtis will choose Hugh Grant as the first actor of the movie?" "

Evan Bell did not look up and continued to eat the noodles and swallowed the noodles before he said, "Curtis's most famous movie" Four weddings and a funeral, "Notting Hill," "Single days, are Hugh Grant It can be seen from this that he is a person who likes to use acquaintance actors because he is familiar and trustworthy. It is estimated that Colin Firth is also on the cast list. "

Colin Firth, another leading actor in "BJ's Singles' Diary", is currently best known for his role as Mr Darcy in the 1995 BBC production of "Pride and Prejudice", and for Evan Bell In other words, his most familiar role should be the Golden Man in 2011's "The King's Speech" Colin Firth won the Best Actor Oscar for this film.

Teddy Bell nodded, "Well, Fairs has confirmed that he will star in "Love Matters," too. "

"Do you know why Hugh Grant has not been confirmed yet?" Evan Bell was very curious about this. If Richard Curtis had already identified Hugh Grant as the first choice for the actor, why did he still find him? What about him? And it's for the British Prime Minister, not the other characters.

Teddy Bell quickly finished the pasta, picked up the warm water next to him, took a sip, and then continued to say "because of last year" single diary. After the heat, Hugh Grant's acting skills suffered seriously. attack. Critics have agreed that Grant has gone too far in making his character likable rather than complex. "This made Evan Bell curl his lips and did not make any comments." Many film critics believe that Grant has been applying the template of "four weddings and one funeral" to all movies. He is the self-imitation."

"So, there is widespread concern in the British media that Curtis's continued use of Grant will ruin "true love, which seems to be a love romance after all, and Grant will go back to being "sweet and greasy, narcissistic to the point of saying, 'You Let's see if I'm so cute, in my demeanor. "Teddy Bell put the water glass back on the bar and described it in cadence, which made Catherine Bell burst out laughing.

"Although I don't quite understand how to get back to the car in acting, Hugh Grant? It's true, his play is as narrow as cigarette paper." Katherine Bell said with a smile on her face.

Evan-Bell couldn't help but laugh.

This is indeed the case. Hugh Grant seems to be satisfied with the status quo since "four weddings and one funeral". Instead of seeking breakthroughs in acting, he applies templates one by one in different movies. It is undeniable that this English gentleman is indeed very charming, but no matter how charming he is without breakthrough, it is useless. Evan Bell remembers that in his last life, after 2009, Hugh Grant did not have a new work for almost three years.

However, Evan-Bell also knows that "True Love Matters" is a warm comedy praising love, suitable for the whole family to watch, and the so-called acting skills are not so important. Hugh Grant's film has done a good job of his work, and the film's box office results and reputation are very good.

But Richard Curtis has no memory of Evan Bell, and he has no way to foresee the future.

In this case, it is normal for him to take other actors into consideration. Evan Bell is just one of his reference lists.

"Well, you reply to Curtis, after rejecting the role of British Prime Minister Wen Yi Bell, you still feel that it is more appropriate to focus on "Pirates of the Caribbean"" and then reply that if there is a chance, I would be willing to play other supporting roles one.

Isn't there the horns of several young people in it? I should also pick up a few characters who are close to my age, right? "Evbel was very thoughtful, and leisurely solved the pasta on the plate, and then raised his head, "Teddy, you go take a shower, I'll wash the dishes." Catherine, it's half past twelve, you should go to bed, otherwise it's not good for your skin. "

Looking at the wordy Evan Bell, Teddy Bell and Catherine Bell smiled at each other, raised their hands, and left the kitchen as if they had surrendered.

Early the next morning, Evan and Bell woke up before eight o'clock, but the other three, Eden and Hudson, came back from get off work after one o'clock and were still in bed. Evan and Bell went to participate in the second round today. Round of bidding, you can go alone. Richard-Wendy should have been waiting at the venue.

In the second round of bidding for the design drawings for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center building, only 20 designers will participate, and there will be no more than 100 accompanying personnel, and the media is not allowed to participate in the interviews.

So a relatively small space was replaced, in a conference room at NYU.

When Evan-Bell arrived at the scene with a laptop and design drawings, although it was not yet nine o'clock, he was still startled by the swarming reporters in front of him.

Because of the professionalism of the second round of bidding, and the public voting after entering the third round, all ten drawings that passed the second round will be made public, so this time, the New York City government did not release the media, hoping to make the second round Lou Biao retains a relatively serious environment. As a result, the reporters who were locked outside saw every visiting designer and crowded up to contain them, hoping to interview first-hand information.

Among the designers, there are naturally different levels of attention. For example, a world-famous top designer such as I.M. Pei will naturally attract more reporters: On the contrary, an unknown amateur designer is probably not recognized by reporters at all. Also no one cares. As for Evan-Bell, aside from his professionalism, his identity as an artist also involved in a professional field such as architectural design, which was already terrifying enough, and now he has entered the second round, which naturally drives the reporters crazy.

When Evan-Bell appeared, more than 150 reporters rushed to the scene together, which made people feel as if the waves were smashing their faces, and Evan-Bell was drowned in an instant.

"Evan, do you think your reputation will influence the judges' decision?"

"Evan, do you think the jury has prejudice against your profession because you are an artist?"

"Do you think you have a chance to pass this round of bidding?"

"Do you think the people of New York will choose you if you make it to the third round?"

"Going into the second round, do you have confidence in yourself?"

Often a problem is not over, the second problem sounded. Evan Bell just felt like there were countless flies flying around his ears, and he couldn't hear anything buzzing. Different from the hot blood brought by screaming and screaming at the concert scene, the noise at this time just makes people feel irritable.

Evan-Bell didn't care about the countless microphones above his head and the flashing lights woven into a piece of clothing, and walked straight forward without pausing. The reporters' internal strength is even stronger. While following the pace of Evan-Bell, they did not forget the endless problems, while the flash was still flashing, which made the chaotic scene look very happy.

When Evan-Bell walked up to the stairs, someone from behind shouted, "The mayor is here." All the reporters rushed down the stairs like a low tide. Evan Bell didn't even have time to see the mayor's figure clearly, when he saw the reporter quickly engulfing the mayor. Today is a major event in New York City. The reporters on the scene are almost all social reporters. Instead of wasting time here like Evan Bell, they might as well go to harass the mayor who has the right to decide.

"Will Evan Bell have privileges?"

"What is the judging standard today?"

…

Before Evan-Bell's design was actually released and recognized by the public People always like to speculate whether Evan-Bell has gone through the back door or whether he has relied on his status as an artist to obtain benefits. It seems that the issues that journalists are concerned about are not very different in any country or region. It is only because the national culture is different and the angle of concern is slightly different.

Evan-Bell didn't stay in place any longer, walked into the teaching building and walked to the conference room.

Outside the conference room, Richard Wendy had just arrived, and when he saw the figure of his disciple, he greeted him, "How is it, the reporters outside didn't embarrass you." Obviously, when Richard Wendy came up, he was also caught by the reporter. Besieged for a while.

Evan-Bell shook his head with a smile, "It's not a big problem." The only focus today is the bidding meeting. Evan Bell immediately changed the subject and raised the laptop in his hand, "I will go to the venue to test whether the slides can be used."
