Chapter 116: I can

Cao Yang had previously added two Role-Immersion Experiences each to Sean Penn and Tim Luo Binsi. He didn't know how they were doing now. He opened the system, wanting to see if he could figure out the situation.

Host: Cao Yang

Current Prestige: 1,406,785

Available Prestige: 306,785

Role-Immersion Experience: +0

Film in Production: *Milk*

Male Lead: Johnny Depp

The two TBD characters were gone. What was going on now? Were the four Role-Immersion Experiences wasted?

Cao Yang felt a bit regretful. If he had known, he wouldn't have been so impulsive, wasting the Role-Immersion Experiences exchanged with prestige for nothing.

Even if these Role-Immersion Experiences had been added to Gao Yuanyuan, it would have been enough for her to win another Best Actress award.

Impulsiveness is the devil. Next time, he must try his best to control his temper. He shouldn't be too impulsive in doing things. With Sean Penn and Tim Luo Binsi' acting skills, adding one would have been enough; adding more was a bit of a waste.

No, he still had to call the casting company to provide more lists. Damn it, he wanted people who would be able to get hot in the future. Who cares if they fit the role? As long as the other party is willing, even playing a bit part is fine.

Arrange all kinds of gay roles for them.

By the way, add more passionate scenes for these people in the script.

"Ah..."

Sean Penn woke up from a nightmare again and sat up from the bed.

He used his trembling hands to touch himself several times. Fortunately, fortunately, it was a dream; he hadn't really been shot.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

The woman beside him was awakened by Sean Penn and also sat up.

Because they hadn't worn clothes after the passion last night, after sitting up, two naughty little things were trembling along.

Sean Penn turned a blind eye to all of this. He didn't answer, nor did he pay attention to the woman. He got out of bed alone, opened the sliding door facing the pool, and sat on the sofa, staring outside in a daze.

The woman also got out of bed, wearing nothing, and walked over just like that.

She hugged Sean Penn from behind, kissed him on the ear, and asked, "Honey, did you have a nightmare again? You must be under too much pressure. You'll be fine after a good rest for a while."

"Maybe."

Sean Penn looked outside and said absentmindedly, "Maybe it's because I wanted to take on *Milk* a while ago and looked up a lot of information. Recently, I keep dreaming that I've become that guy."

The woman was stunned, then showed an interested expression, with a little excitement on her face. "It's said that guy was gay. Did you also dream that you became that kind of person?"

Sean Penn closed his eyes, seemingly lost in memory. He probably was scared and hissed before saying, "According to the information I found, that guy wasn't gay at all. He was just using the guise of being gay to win over those people's votes."

The woman leaned into Sean Penn's ear and asked softly, "Didn't they say he had a boyfriend?"

Sean Penn seemed to think of something and was thoroughly disgusted. He pushed the woman slightly. "You go to sleep first. I'll sit for a while."

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm not coming over tomorrow. I want to go home and take a look."

Maybe he could sleep more soundly at home?

The situation didn't improve.

For the next few days, Sean Penn kept having the same dream. Every time, he was incarnated as Milk, experiencing Milk's life.

Finally, he was shot to death in his office by someone, and then he woke up from the dream.

Sean Penn was tortured quite badly. He changed several psychologists, but none of them could solve this problem, saying it was because he was too invested and had entered the role a bit too deeply to get out.

But don't be nervous; find some fun, do some happy things, and you'll slowly recover. Damn it, do you need you useless people to tell me this? Don't I know this?

Sean Penn thought self-deprecatingly that if he went to act in *Milk* now, maybe he could bring the character to life even with his eyes closed.

He knew that his state was also a kind of role immersion. The ridiculous thing was that the role he was immersed in was the *Milk* he had rejected.

Why the hell did I reject this role in the first place!

It's too late to turn back now. He had stood Cao Yang up and completely offended that young director.

Sean Penn had had many similar experiences. He knew that as long as he persisted for a while, he would slowly come out of the role and recover.

But the sad thing was that he had immersed himself so deeply this time.

He attributed all of this to the fact that he wanted to win an Oscar too much.

A few days later, Sean Penn, who was tortured and in pain, combined with the words of some psychologists, changed his thinking.

He felt that wanting to win an Oscar too much was one aspect, but the main reason was the split in reality.

Clearly a despicable and shameless politician, yet packaged as a pioneer of the equal rights movement and a hero who helps the weak—this was simply a huge joke.

!

Maybe he didn't identify with the character, which led to serious consequences.

Then Sean Penn thought of what most psychologists told him: to thoroughly solve the hidden danger of the trouble, one must find a way from the source.

What is the source?

Cao Yang has been very busy during this time. At night, he has to write scripts—not *Milk*, but other scripts. During the day, he has to interview actors. Even if they are unimportant supporting roles, he has to see them himself.

This made Bei Er Man very confused. These things could be left to the casting director and casting company. Why did he have to do it himself?

Cao Yang certainly wouldn't tell him that he was collecting "stars."

Through the recommendations of the casting company, Cao Yang had already finalized more than a dozen people. These were all supporting roles with quite a few lines.

Moreover, under the witness of the guild, he had already signed acting contracts with these people.

Most of them would have scenes of hugging and passion.

These people were all members of the gay community helping Milk.

Future fans will be happy to be able to see what their idols looked like when they were green, and also see their idols' passionate scenes. Isn't that exciting?

Isn't that stimulating?

Just wait to count the stars, you guys.

In films, the actors playing villains generally either look fierce, have an average appearance but a gloomy face, or look a bit perverted.

In *Milk*, Cao Yang insisted on choosing a face that looked honest for Dan White, the one who shot Milk—the kind that didn't look like a bad guy at all.

After the audition, he finally chose Mark Ruffalo, the guy who later played the Hulk.

For Milk's boyfriend, Cao Yang chose Casey Affleck.

For the other boyfriend who committed suicide, Cao Yang chose Benedict Cumberbatch, who was still performing in an open-air theater—the future Doctor Strange, "Cumberbatch."

For the rest of the gay community who had scenes, Cao Yang found many potential stocks who hadn't become famous yet or were only slightly famous.

Matthew McConaughey, Tom Hardy, James Franco, Pedro Pascal, Ryan Reynolds, Henry Cavill, Chris Pratt, Chris Evans, Bradley Cooper, Cillian Murphy, Zachary Levi...

This should be enough to surprise future fans.
