Best Actor

    After the millennium, in addition to the 1.5 million reward given by Weinstein and Minghella, Sean also earned 800,000 from "Charlie's Angels". Although this price is comparable to "Death Comes", his role is only about 15 to 20 minutes, which may be shorter after the actual release, almost a cameo, so it is also in line with his worth.

      As I said before, American cars are very cheap. The Mercedes-Benz CL600 is just launched this year, so it is a little more expensive, about 130,000 yuan, while the ML55 is much cheaper, close to 70,000 yuan. 200,000 or so.

    The idea of ​​buying a car has been around for a long time. Although the Lincoln Continental is classic and stylish, there are three people in the family. Galen still had a second-hand Porsche, and it looked pretty good, and if Sanders wanted to go out alone and the other two cars were gone, he would have to drive Sean's wrecked Ford.

    Although the performance of the Ford is not bad, it is a ten-year-old car after all, and its maintenance is not as good as that of the Lincoln Continental, so Sean took advantage of the opportunity to celebrate his Oscar nomination to bring Take them to the Mercedes-Benz car shop. He originally wanted to come down and give it to them, but considering the self-esteem of Galen and Sanders, he should temporarily put it in his own name and give it to them to use.

    "Hi, Alice, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look a lot more beautiful." After driving the new car to Endeavour's office building, outside Frederick's office, Sean and His assistant said hello.

    It was a young girl with short hair, a few years older than Sean, she was very slender, with a few freckles on her face, very cute.

    "Don't do that, Sean." Alice lowered her head even though she said so.

    "Stop harassing my assistant, Sean, come here, we have business to talk about." Frederick poked his head from behind the glass door and shouted.

    "You told you before, Sean, don't touch my assistant." After he entered, the first sentence of the agent who closed the door was this, and then looked outside, "Your two followers are not good either. It will also have an impact on our relationship. It will have a serious impact."

    Through the office made of clear glass, Sean could clearly see that Galen and Sanders were taking turns talking to Alice.

    "I just said hello," he shrugged, then raised his hands as Frederick watched, "Okay, I see, I'll call them to attention - You said before that the other party wanted to see me?"

    "We ran into some trouble," the agent didn't bother about this topic, and went straight to the topic, "I already got everything done, but Anna killed it from the side, and I'm about to take this away The advertising contract is over, so I need you to meet the other party, have lunch or something, and use your charm to conquer him!"

    "You mean, use my charm to... conquer a middle-aged man." Sean asked half-jokingly.

    "I'm serious, Sean." Frederick squeezed his fingers, "Well, I'll admit, I'm a little remiss, I've got a lot of work to do when I move into the office, so I relaxed my attention there, but Anna took advantage of it. We have to figure out a way now, or we will really be robbed of the advertising contract by her. Can you tolerate the sudden flight of the things you already got?"

    "Of course," Sean held out his hands unexpectedly, "it's just an advertising contract."

    The agent was stunned for a minute: "Sorry, did I hear something wrong?"

    "If it was Budweiser, I would definitely go for it, but Blue Moon... Frankly speaking, their beer is good, but the malty aftertaste is not as good as Budweiser," Shaw En explained, "So, if I shoot an ad for Blue Moon, but a reporter finds out I'm drinking Budweiser, it will be very troublesome."

    "Damn, this is not an endorsement, this is just an advertisement!" Frederick covered his head with a headache, "If it is an endorsement, I can ask for 2 million endorsement fees, not now 800,000 advertising fees!"

    "Is that so?" Sean still looked indifferent, "Well, tell the whole thing from beginning to end, Fred, don't have any regrets and concealment, is it okay?"

    "...Okay." The agent sighed and explained the previous events in detail without much concealment. Of course, avoiding the important and the light and so on must be indispensable.

    "I think their worries are normal, in fact, I am indeed troubled by some controversy now," Sean said, raising a hand to stop Frederick from speaking, "I admit, it's a huge honor to be nominated for an Oscar, but at the same time it's also a lot of pressure, you should know, because being compared to River Phoenix has already made a lot of people dissatisfied with me."

    Indeed, because of Melanie Haas's original words, some media like to call Sean the second of River Phoenix, in order to provoke controversy and attract attention. It was okay at first, but after a few more mentions, more people were dissatisfied, especially after Sean was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, Melanie Haas thought it was also a kind of disapproval of the film school. Van Phoenix's compensation, which is quite attracting hatred, and the voice of dissatisfaction is getting louder.

      That's a good thing when sales go up. As for the series of consequences, I'm sorry that it doesn't matter to them, they just express their opinions.

    "I don't agree," Frederick is not so easy to give up, "actually my opinion is the opposite of yours. The more you are in the vortex, the more you should stand out. You're not the kind of person who goes with the flow, think about it. How many actors can be 19 years old after entering Hollywood for a year and a half, and play the leading role in the work of a great director, and have received considerable praise Your positioning should be different! You should challenge the seemingly impossible! You should tell everyone that you are not the second River Phoenix, you are the unique Sean Tang!"

    After saying this, he began to entice: "Think about it, Sean, just two or three days of work, he has an income of 800,000, which is easier than shooting "Charlie's Angels". This is also one of the ways to maintain popularity at present. Blue Moon is not as good as Budweiser, but it is also one of the top ten beers in North America. Anyway, you don’t have the big production role you want, so this is just right.”

    "I know that when you talk about this, you start to talk a lot." Sean teased, "Okay, then let's make an appointment to meet."

    "Are you sure?" Frederick was surprised, obviously not expecting Sean to speak so easily.

    "Of course, I don't think my opinion is wrong, but you're right, so it's okay to make an appointment to meet." Sean nodded.

    …

    The next morning, Sean met Regis Johnson, head of Blue Moon Beer in Los Angeles, in his forties, at the Padre Cafe, and most of the managers Same as having a small belly. The three of them did not go straight to the topic at first, but talked about other things, which were basically pleasant, and Johnson was relatively straightforward, so when Sean was instructed by Frederick, he said some good things about Blue Moon Beer At that time, those things from high school were moved out.

    "The aftertaste is not enough, but it is very refreshing. When we were going to drink at those fast-paced parties in high school, we almost unanimously asked for Blue Moon beer." Sean said.

    "It's the same, I was like that in high school, always picking the kind of beer that is refreshing and can be drunk as soon as possible." Johnson smiled with emotion, obviously recalling the past years.

    But that didn't stop him from conveying his opinion: "But, Sean, that's the problem, it doesn't matter if you're a year older, the number 19 is too conspicuous."

    At this time, Frederick would jump out and change the subject. In fact, as long as he talked about business, he would soon interject to say something else, as if he was not here today to win advertising contract.

    "Yes, listening to your favorite music or songs after work, the previous fatigue is swept away." After Johnson casually said something related to music, Frederick Ke immediately continued, "I personally like some classical piano music. Of course, I also listen to some rock music. I don't mind the type of music, as long as it sounds good."

    "Look, this is the habit of modern people, there are too many things, so I can't have a deep understanding." Johnson said jokingly, "I only like one type of music, and that is jazz ."

    "Really? It's a coincidence that Sean also likes jazz." Frederick said immediately, and Sean next to him suddenly widened his eyes.

    But before he could speak, the agent had kicked him under the table, and Johnson looked interested: "Oh? Sean also likes jazz?"

    "I have heard some, but I am not very proficient," gave Frederick a very covert look, and Sean said with a smile, "I know that there are several kinds of jazz, Latin, classical , New Orleans, etc., and also know that the third and seventh steps of the major scale are often lowered, and the melody often uses syncopated rhythms and triplets to form a reversal of light and heavy accents, and the rhythm is mostly double beats, Usually it is 4/4 time, and some are 2/4 time and so on, but it is impossible to understand in detail.”

    "No no no, you know this has surprised me, Sean," Johnson said excitedly, "few young people know jazz like you do, do you know Chicago jazz? It's my favorite type!"
