Chapter 486 Waiting for the Opportunity

Seeing Su Yun just smiling at him without saying anything, Leon secretly gritted his teeth and used his best acting skills to force a surprised smile: "I didn't expect to see you here. How are you doing recently?"

"Not bad, how about you?" Su Yun responded in a neutral tone.

"I... am quite free." Leon answered the question with his eyes downcast, and then found another excuse, "Will you still go to the San Diego Comic Con this year?"

They first met at the San Diego Comic-Con. Mentioning this might bring back some memories for Su Yun - he picked a really good topic!

"Not necessarily. If possible, I will definitely try my best to go." Su Yun smiled and shook her head, "It's too early to talk about this now."

Seeing that Su Yun was about to leave after saying this, Leon suddenly became anxious and hurriedly called her: "Actually, I have one more thing I want to tell you..."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Su Yun turned around and responded.

"That's right, I heard that you're planning to sign a new player recently..." Leon stammered as he spoke out the purpose of his visit, "Although I know you're really busy these days, I still want to ask, what are you going to do with me next?"

Seeing his face look as if he was a poor kid who mustered up the courage to rebuke a scumbag, Su Yun laughed inwardly: So that's how it is.

Knowing that Su Yun had already realized why he was "bumping into someone" this time, Leon simply stood up straight and waited for the big boss Su Yun to speak.

If he could, he wouldn't want to do this, but he really had no choice.

Once you have tasted the feeling of being the center of attention, it is difficult for you to give up this incomparable feeling and accept the gap from heaven back to the human world.

He shot to fame a few years ago with his role as the protagonist in "Terminator 2". Everyone said he was a promising supernova and the second Tom Cruise. Although he did not have the opportunity to play opposite Su Yun, because he was also promoted by Su Yun, in the eyes of others, he undoubtedly belonged to Su Yun's faction.

In the beginning, he was not convinced. He thought that Cruise was just taking advantage of the fact that he was almost the same age as Su Yun, and had climbed up the career ladder by partnering with Su Yun. If he had been born ten years earlier, it would still be unknown who would have won the leading role in the youth movie "Falling in Love", which was the white moonlight of countless people.

Even though he became famous for "Terminator 2", he still felt unhappy: firstly, he was only an important supporting actor in "Terminator 2", and his ranking was not as good as Cruise who played the leading actor in "The Fault in Our Stars"; secondly, "The Fault in Our Stars" was not only the white moonlight of a generation, but also the starting point for Su Yun and Cruise to become the "golden boy and jade girl"...

Unexpectedly, as time went by, he finally realized the "gap" between himself and Cruise, especially the fact that he still looked like a child even though he was already sixteen years old, which was a big difference from Cruise's life record of basically not growing crooked or disabled.

Can anyone believe that at the age of sixteen, he could still make a guest appearance in "Growing Problems"?

Although this is much better than his good friend Toby who can only play supporting roles here and there, it is still far behind the time when he became an overnight sensation, attracted everyone's attention, and everyone praised him for his bright future.

In particular, some tabloids even said that he had "grown ugly", that he had not grown from a stunning little boy into a stunning mature man, and that his appearance had only magnified a little over the years, that he was already sixteen years old but still looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old...

The pressures one after another have already made him extremely anxious. The company has not made any major arrangements for him, and he can't get many resources. He finally waited for the opportunity for Su Yun to stay here for a long time, but then he heard the news that Su Yun wanted to sign a new person...

Mr. Ovitz, in particular, attached great importance to this matter, saying that Su Yun has always had a good eye, so the newcomer she values ​​so much must be extremely qualified or talented... So, his mentality was a little broken.

After "Terminator 2" became a huge hit, he followed Su Yun to the comic convention, and Su Yun promised him privately that she would give him super, super good resources in the future!

It was because of this "big radish" hanging in front that he was able to endure so many years, sitting on the bench and waiting obediently.

Su Yun couldn't help laughing when she realized that Leon was looking at her more and more like a scumbag who had eaten him clean but refused to admit it. "Of course, I have very special arrangements for you, so you don't need to be so anxious. It's not time yet——"

"I'm not anxious, I just..." Amidst the regrets and sighs, I sought some possible psychological comfort.

"But what are you in such a hurry for? Monica is a female artist. Her path and future plans are completely different from yours." Su Yun shook her head and sighed.

"What Monica...the new person you want to sign is a girl?!" Leon was a little confused.

"Of course, Monica is a model in France. I had a lot of trouble getting her contact information from Alan and asked her to come over." Su Yun laughed.

Realizing that he might have really made a big mistake this time, Leon was silent for a while, and then he apologized to Su Yun in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I thought..."

"I understand how you feel now, but it's just like what I said, your opportunity hasn't come yet, so the company doesn't have much work for you for now." Su Yun slowed down her tone, "You should study and exercise well during this relatively less busy time. Believe me, it will be very difficult for you to have such leisure time in the future..."

"Of course, we still have to seize the time and grow up a little bit—" Su Yun smiled and looked up at the top of his head.

"I, I will try my best." Su Yun didn't need to say anything, Leon himself was actually more anxious about this.

"Okay then, I'm going to Ovitz's place. If you see Rui Fan coming over later, please tell him to find me in the office at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor." Su Yun patted his hands encouragingly.

"Is it River Phoenix?" Leon asked hurriedly.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Su Yun looked at his slightly excited face.

"Nothing, I'm just happy that I can see him," Leon replied.

In fact, River Phoenix is ​​more similar to him: Cruise was "picked up" by Su Yun from Kubrick, and both he and River Phoenix were discovered by Su Yun herself. Then, their paths and positions in the circle are similar, and even their appearances are a little bit similar...

However, compared to his current acting skills and his short-lived career in commercial films, River Phoenix is ​​favored by film directors because of his more literary temperament and better acting skills, and his career is much smoother than his.

Although the contrast was a bit hurtful, if there was a chance, he would still like to meet this "higher-end" version of himself.

Just as he was thinking this, a young man actually walked over from the other side of the corridor, and he looked exactly like the person he was thinking about at the moment.

"Phoenix, right? Mary said she's in the office at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor and asked you to go find her." Leon waved his hand.

Rui Fan looked at him blankly, and then looked at him carefully twice - it seemed that he was thinking about Leon's identity.

Soon, Rui Fan showed a look of sudden enlightenment, nodded to Leon, and followed his instructions to the elevator.

Su Yun first gave Ruifan, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, a warm hug, and then took a letter from Ruifan's hand with surprise, which Bourne had asked Ruifan to bring to her.

Probably because they were both traveling around the world in bands, and occasionally they would run into each other. So, I took the opportunity that River was about to come back to film a movie, and brought a letter to my old friend to let him know that he was safe.

Although he was forced to come back to play a cameo role as the king of a small European country in "Nine States 1", Bourne has let go of himself since he let go of his heart. After the quick cameo, he slipped away so quickly that it is difficult to find his trace. This letter is the first letter he has sent since he left.

After reading the content of the letter and the attached natural scenery photos with a smile, Su Yun looked at Rui Fan again: "You and he have similar preferences, no wonder you can talk about the same thing."

"We met unexpectedly, but Anderson is indeed a very interesting person." River nodded.

After Zha Lan brought Monica over, Su Yun admired the beauty's grace while happily signing Monica, the future leading actress of "Resident Evil 1".

After dealing with Monica's matter, Su Yun and Ovitz talked to River about his new movie again: "This movie tells the story of two young people with completely different backgrounds but both become low-class male prostitutes. It is a very challenging movie. I plan to let you star in it with Keanu..."

Rui Fan nodded while listening, indicating that he understood.

Finally, Su Yun added, "Keanu is not here recently. Ovitz will arrange for you to meet him. By the way, can you do me a favor?"

"Go ahead." Rui Fan still remembered that Su Yun saved him and his brother. Of course he would not refuse the small favor Su Yun asked.

Therefore, after he came out of the office, he went to find Leon, his peer who was not very successful at the moment.

During the conversation, Leon learned that River had won another leading role in a movie, and he was so envious: "You are so lucky... If I had half of your luck, I wouldn't be in this situation today..."

"You are too impatient." Rui Fan shook his head, "Maybe, you will be more famous than me in the future."

"Don't be ridiculous..." Although Leon shook his head, he couldn't help but think of this dreamlike future in his heart.

"I'm serious - don't you like playing "Resident Evil" very much? You especially like the second and fourth parts, and your favorite characters are 'Leon' and 'Ada'?" After all, they are still young people, and the charm of video games is ultimately irresistible. Even Rui Fan, who is full of literary and artistic interests, has played many games. "I heard that after the "Nine States Past" series, Mary's next plan is to adapt the game of "Resident Evil" into a movie series."

"I seem to have heard of it, but it was news a long time ago..." Leon said after recalling.

A long time ago, there were indeed reports that Su Yun had met with George A. Romero, the "Father of Zombie Movies", but there was no follow-up. Instead, the games were released one after another. He thought the plan had to be shelved...

"It's not 'put on hold', but 'waiting'." Rui Fan looked meaningfully at the lucky guy in front of him who didn't realize it, "Because she is still waiting for her male protagonist to grow up."
