Best Actor

      , while Johnson next to him frowned slightly, wondering if he was thinking or simply dissatisfied.

    "In short, this is my opinion, it may be very incomplete, or even very biased, but it is indeed my opinion." Sean added immediately.

    Johnson was still the same, holding his chin, as if he was suspicious of something, which made Sean, who was kicked, smile bitterly in his heart.

    Unexpectedly, after a few seconds, the Los Angeles head of Blue Moon Beer laughed and clapped his hands: "You're so good, Sean, I still I have never considered it from this perspective, there are very few young people as mature as you, no wonder you can perform so well in "Genius Ripley"."

    Listening to these words, Sean, who had been tense all the time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then—

    "What the **** are you doing, Fred?!" While Johnson was going to the bathroom, Sean lowered his voice angrily and questioned his agent.

      said.

    "Of course I know, I've been with you before, from complimenting Blue Moon beer to French lobster to Yellowstone, but what about jazz?" Sean Very unhappy, "I can cooperate with other things, because I have done it, but I have never heard jazz music. If it wasn't for the fact that I can play the guitar and sing in the bar, I have some understanding, otherwise I just said a word. Can't even tell! Do you know what the consequences will be?!"

    "It's because you know music that I lead the topic like this, don't think I'm a fool, Sean, I'll pick the topic." Frederick said defensively.

    "Can you choose a topic? I was almost speechless just now, that expression was basically nonsense!" Sean was angry, "If it wasn't for luck , has long been dismantled!"

    "Yes, I know, but the effect has been achieved, isn't it?" Frederick sighed, "Don't think so much, Sean, since Anna can take advantage of the blue Moon Headquarters requires the branch to act conservatively to lobby Regis, so we can do whatever we can."

    Sean rolled his eyes and was about to speak when Johnson had returned from the bathroom, so he had to shut his mouth. But Johnson, who came back, did not speak any more, but sat there quietly, not knowing what to think. Frederick tried to speak several times to liven up the atmosphere, but Sean stopped him with his eyes.

    "I'm so happy to meet you today, Sean," he finally spoke after a moment, "I have to admit, it was a pleasant meeting, and you surprised me that there wasn't that young man It gives me this feeling...even though we didn't discuss the contract thing, but as you said before, some things have to be tried, and although HQ told us to be careful, I think it's okay to take a risk sometimes ,What do you think?"

    "Thank you, Mr. Johnson." Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

    A lot of times it's so strange, obviously you don't care about one thing at the beginning, and think it's optional. However, once you put yourself in, or enter the role, you will unknowingly forget the original idea and focus on success.

    Just like Sean, he realized that he didn't seem to have the idea to get it after he basically got the advertising contract. But he didn't care too much. Anyway, he could earn $800,000 for three or four days of work, and he could still maintain popularity and get it. It's pretty good, so now it's another thing that matters.

    "You looked happy and taunted Anna again?" Sean asked after Frederick sent the contract.

    "Why not?" The agent didn't deny it, "You know, if she didn't break the rules and intervene in the middle, we didn't have to find a way to continue to win over Johnson, oh, I can see her unwillingness It looks really good."

      tell you."

    "Why, are you going to unilaterally give me another 1% commission?" The agent who came to the living room asked jokingly.

    "Of course not," Sean looked at him seriously, "Fred, you're a great agent, and we've had a great time working together, so I don't want us to Something went wrong."

    "Is there something wrong?" Frederick also became serious.

    "Of course, I hope that any decision related to me is made by me, not by you," Sean said in one sentence, "You can persuade me, but you can't do it for me Decide."

    "I... I didn't make the decision for you?" Frederick looked obviously puzzled.

    "No? Forcibly recommending the audition of "Pearl Harbor" will not say, I told Regis Johnson without even asking before, I have a lot of research on jazz." Sean sighed "You make me very unhappy, Fred."

    "But..." Frederick tried to argue.

    "I know what you're trying to say, Fred, and I admit, you're thinking about me, but I don't like it this way." Sean interrupted.

    The agent scratched his head angrily, then looked around as if thinking of something, and then his eyes locked on Sanders who was sitting by the door.

    "It has nothing to do with Sandy, that is indeed my opinion." Sean knew what he was thinking, and his tone became sincere, "We work together in the most difficult times, I always Remember that day when you said you would help me. Fred, promise me that you will try to convince me in the future instead of deciding things for me."

    "...well, I promise you." Frederick was silent for a few minutes, then let out a long breath.

    "Let's talk about something interesting," Galen came out to round up the occasion, "I heard Sean say that he used a fabricated jazz commentary to impress the head of Blue Moon Beer in Los Angeles. I signed this advertising contract - will we have free Blue Moon beer in the future?"

    "Don't think about it, if it's an endorsement, there will be free beer and beer this year, but this is just an advertisement, so..." Frederick thought for a while, "about a few Boxes, maybe a few more boxes than others, since Sean has an Oscar nomination for Best Actor."

    "That's not bad. When we were at the car dealership, Sean saved thousands of dollars in fees for one autograph. There are many benefits to being a star." Galen laughed.

    "Really? How about having Fred find a role for you?" Sean quipped immediately.

    "No problem, although Galen's image is oriental, it is not without suitable roles." Frederick immediately expressed his position.

    "Alright first, you have to hire another assistant, I can only be in charge of one person's affairs." Sanders also interjected.

    Immediately, several people laughed, and the previously dull atmosphere slowly dissipated, and more and more topics were discussed.

    "That is to say, even if it is just nominated for an Oscar, the value of a star will be a lot higher?" After talking about Sean's nomination, Galen asked.

    "Yes, especially Sean is basically the third youngest nominee, and it has been decades without a nominee under the age of 20, these are capital. This time it can go smoothly In addition to Sean's outstanding performance, Oscar nomination is also one of the important reasons for getting Blue Moon Beer's advertising contract." Frederick nodded.

    Then, he remembered something: "By the way, the complete shutdown of the new line has a lot to do with this."

    "The new line has completely stopped? What's the matter?" Sean asked strangely.

     "Of course it's the "Lord of the Rings" dividend contract." The agent spread his hands.

    "Isn't that already done?" Sean was even more strange.

    "Yes, but it's not that easy," Frederick shook his head, "It was just a letter of intent when I was in New Zealand, and when I got back to Los Angeles, I went to New Line several times. The time is officially decided, and even so, there are still repeated from time to time, and there are always people who jump out and say that a newcomer actually wants this kind of contract, it is too self-sufficient, even if the preconditions are quite harsh."

    "Then why no one brought it up at first." Sean asked again.

    "Let's put it this way, the two founders of New Line, Robert Shea, are more emotional and adventurous, so he will support Peter Jackson to make the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. And Michael Lynn, on the other hand, is very rational and always calculating, so he has objections to many things, such as supporting the Lord of the Rings movie version, or giving you a bonus contract," Frederick explained.

    "In short, my contract was decided by Shay, and then Lynn found out that he was dissatisfied, so he wanted to change the contract?" Sean touched his chin, " Well, this guy has a vision."

    "It's almost like this, mainly the following people are arguing, but after the release of "The Genius Ripley", this voice is much smaller in the new line, after you get an Oscar nomination, It even calmed down completely, and some people even said that this was a pretty good deal." The agent smiled, "They are probably already thinking about how to hype it up."

    Sean grinned, then asked, "By the way, Fred, how much will I get in dividends?"

    "Then I set the first one... The total global box office is 800 million," Sean thought for a while, "How much can we get?"

    "800 million?" The agent raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then shrugged indifferently, "Let me think...about 1.5 million to 2 million."

    "1.5 million to 2 million?" Sean suddenly exclaimed, "How come there are so few?!"
