Best Actor

    What Naomi wants to ask, Sean is very clear, how he will answer, he is also clear, many times he can tell some facts but it is best not to lie. So when Naomi said this, he was slightly relieved in his heart, but he was just happy and a little worried at the same time.

    Fortunately, she didn't have to say it face to face, so as not to embarrass or even hurt her, but worryingly, if she was so silent, it would be difficult for him to guess her thoughts. If Naomi thinks that Sean is pulling her out to shop for compensation, that's a little bad.

    Although this time shopping with Naomi was already booked, after harvesting $25 million - well, except for Neil's commission and taxes, it's actually not that much Yes, but it's fine to buy some clothes for Naomi. And he has never bought any expensive gifts for Naomi, so he came up with this idea and invited Naomi out after "The God of Death".

    However, although he expected that after the movie was released, he would definitely become the focus, so he deliberately set the date in Orange County, but he did not expect that because of Catherine's mother's big mouth, he would come out again A scandal. If he hadn't slept with Catherine, it would be okay to say, but he did have a short-lived passion with Catherine, so he couldn't justify it in front of Naomi.

    "You know, I want to start my own production company, do you have any good ideas?" asked.

    "Start your own production company?" Naomi blinked in surprise.

    "I said that I made some money with a friend of mine who can invest, and it's not a hassle to start a production company or even a studio, so I came up with this idea." Xiao. En explained.

    "But Sean," Naomi reminded, "making a movie is not easy."

    "I know, after all, I'm also an actor now," Sean smiled slightly, "but I'm very confident in my vision for choosing scripts, I will put those low-cost but high box office or high reputation , picked from a sea of ​​scripts, like Ripley the Genius or Mulholland Drive."

    He said and blinked again, looking full of confidence: "So you must help me."

    Naomi was stunned for a moment, then laughed, with a complicated look: "Okay, how can I help you?"

    "It's very simple, such as giving opinions and expressing opinions, after all, you know Hollywood better than me, and..." He held her hand, "When you become famous next year, if I If I find you to collaborate on a film, you must give me a discount on the remuneration."

    "You bastard, start calculating these before next year." Naomi couldn't help laughing.

    Looking at her smile, he was temporarily relieved in his heart. Using these to bring up a certain topic should make her feel better, but... can it still be like this in the future?

    Well, that is for the future, Sean's point of view has always been to seize the present, and the same is true of setting up a production company.

    "In short, you made money in the stock market, so you wanted to start a production company, didn't you?" In Frederick's office, the broker was powerless sighed, "Okay, how much money did you make?"

    "Well..." Sean touched his chin and raised his head to think, "It's close to 20 million."

    Frederick, who picked up the cup and wanted to drink water, immediately spit it out, opened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "How much... how much?"

    "Excluding commissions and taxes, there are about 20 million in capital, but I have 10 million for other purposes, so I can actually use about seven or eight million." Sean Shrugged, "Thank you for recommending the accountant, Fred."

    Frederick's mouth opened for half a minute before closing, then scratched his head: "Know what I'm trying to say, Sean?"

    He sighed: "I want to say, next time there is such a good thing, please take me with you."

    "I thought you would say, local tyrant, let's be friends." Sean smiled.

    "Don't talk about that," he shook his head, "I know, you've made up your mind, so I won't tell you about the risks. But I want to remind you that since If you have ample funds, why should you set up a new production company instead of buying a production company that is poorly managed but doesn’t have much debt? Anyway, it’s only about two or three million, the channels and departments are complete, and the employees are experienced ."

    "Because I'm afraid of trouble," Sean spread his hands, "Let's just say, I don't have much time to take care of the company now, and at least three years, I can only make some very low-cost It is a good choice to attach the established company to some large or medium-sized film companies, just like other actors, and it is not too late to talk about development after a stable position.”

    "Then you still need a good, good businessman to run your production company?" Frederick braced his head and sighed.

    "It's not contradictory," Sean took it for granted, "Could it be that just because the company is small, it is necessary to hire mediocre people?"

    "You have to attach your production company to a big company and hire professional management talents. Even if it is schizophrenic, it is too exaggerated." Frederick sarcastically Said, "Don't you know? Many people's production companies are just leather bag companies, which are affiliated with big companies and organize teams only when needed."

    "I know, I know about Drew's production company, but I don't plan to do this. It's just an expedient measure now, and it will definitely be independent when it develops." said seriously.

    The agent sighed immediately and covered his face with his hand: "Then please tell, Sean, how many outstanding management talents are there who are willing to go to an inconspicuous newly established, even the department It is not complete, and it is still attached to a small... studio under the big company to do management work?"

    "That's your business," Sean smiled, "Endeavour should have this business, right? You don't want to earn a commission or two?"

    "You guy..." Frederick rolled his eyes again, "Always leave things to me, I'm not omnipotent."

    "It's not true, but you are indeed capable," Sean still had that irritated smile, "Of course capable people do more things, so I leave it to you."

    It was not a whim to set up his own production company. Before that, he had some vague ideas on how to make his career develop better. But due to various factors, such as not knowing enough about Hollywood, all of them are very vague and unformed ideas, only knowing that there must be more money first, so let Frederick fight for the dividend contract of "The Lord of the Rings".

    But after knowing that Drew Barrymore also set up his own production company at the age of 19, Sean suddenly understood that if you want to have the right to speak here, then the identity of the producer is essential Less. Especially after participating in the filming of "Charlie's Angels", this is even more certain. The real powerful directors and actors will put their names in the producer column.

    Of course, producers are also divided into big and small. Although Drew has drawn 70 to 80 million in funds - recently I heard that it is approaching 90 million - for the shooting of "Charlie's Angels", but Just a normal producer. The real big-name producers are probably similar to Harvey Weinstein or Jerry Bruckheimer. As for the big studio owners, they are another level.

    So, having your own production company is the first step, even if it is small and simple, but there are two concepts. After that, it is to find some low-cost, box-office or well-received scripts to produce, so as to expand the business, make the company grow, and make your voice bigger step by step.

    Just as actors who can bring more benefits are more sought after, in this world of money, the more high-grossing movies are produced, the greater the producer's right to speak.

      Comic superheroes, it's almost impossible to get a piece of the pie. However, some can still get involved, provided that their production company can have a good reputation, and this depends on Sean himself.

    Intuition, this is his most powerful weapon, he is very clear that he must have seen many movies, but he is not impressed, difficult to recall, and needs a certain amount of stimulation. Just like "Charlie's Angels", he only had a vague impression at the beginning, but as the filming progressed, he actually remembered some of the plots, although some of them were in the sequel. Therefore, as long as he is good at using his intuition to find out potential, or in other words, low-cost scripts that may sell well in the future, among those small-budget scripts in Hollywood, and produce them, then the development of the production company will definitely be very smooth.

    Of course, this cannot 100% guarantee that the movie will sell well. After all, different actors, directors, and producers may result in a finished product that is different from what you have seen in your previous life. But the problem is that such an outcome is only possible, while the outcome of choosing to do or not to go is clear, and those who dare not even try should be despised.

    So even if he may be affiliated with a big company at the beginning, he still wants to hire professionals to manage it. These are all precautions. But it is also related to his main energy in acting. In any case, acting is what he wants to do most now, and Sean has begun to like acting. As for things on the production company's side, he doesn't know how much time it will take him just to add the script, and he is not very good at management. Naturally, it is best to leave it to professionals.

    However, although these ideas are good, they need a lot of capital to back them up. Without capital, even the best ideas are just empty talk, so Sean started Google's idea.
