Best Actor

    "Come on, Fred, or I'll call Todd out now, or we'll go to the production company later and you talk to him. Maybe you can come up with a plan, wait two A month later, the film where I am the producer will start, and then I will tell the reporter about it to promote me, and at the same time, I can promote the film, right?" Sitting at the round table under the parasol, Sean said this to his agent said the man.

    Sean brought Galen and Sanders to the coffee shop to meet with Frederick, and after discussing with each other for about half an hour to no avail, he had to throw the topic out.

    "First time as a filmmaker?" Frederick grinned, looking like he was suffering from a toothache, "As an actor, trying to get a better role and running away To make a movie, or to invest 5 million in a small cost production…”

    "That's better than no news at all, right?" At this time, Sanders usually speaks first, "It's not that Sean has no works, and he is the most concerned about the beginning of the millennium. Rising stars, setting up your own production company and making your first movie with your ex, will this kind of topic attract media and public interest? Or is it that you have no way to hype this topic?"

    Frederick glared at him for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, I see, I will communicate with Todd, so... what's next?"

    Sean and Sanders exchanged glances, the latter then pulled out a well-bound booklet from the backpack he brought: "Sean thinks the script is good, and so do I ."

    The agent frowned immediately, then turned over two pages, raised his head, glanced suspiciously at Sean and Sanders, and quickly turned to the end.

    "Damn, this is supposed to be a script in my office, how could it be in your hands?" He called after confirming.

    "I went to your office the day before yesterday, but you weren't there, so I flipped through it at will, and I just liked the script, so I brought it here." Sean explained briefly .

    "Just look at it, then take it away...wait!" Frederick frowned as he thought of something.

    "Okay, I told Alice not to tell you for the time being, that's what I mean, don't embarrass her." Sean admitted, "I think this script is very interesting , so I want to read it in detail, but I also know, if you know, it's going to make a fuss again, so..."

    He spread his hands and made a sincere look, but this did not satisfy the agent.

    "Remember what I told you, Sean?" Frederick gritted his teeth. "Don't touch my assistant!"

    "I didn't touch her, I just said a few words to her, you can't let me not even talk to her?" Sean said innocently, "If you really If you're worried about something, Fred, why not hire a male assistant?"

    "Male assistant?" Frederick sneered, "Of course I would, but my boss, the great and mean tyrant, Ari Emmanuel once had a motto, if You hire a woman as an assistant, and in ten years you'll only get a mom with a baby; you hire a man as an assistant, and ten years later you'll have a competitor!"

    "Like you?" Sean asked with a raised eyebrow.

    "He's not qualified to be my competitor right now," before the agent could answer, a voice came from behind him, "Besides, Fred, you really think I'm a stingy tyrant?"

      . He looks like he is in his forties, his black hair is a bit sparse, but his standard hooked nose still clearly tells everyone that he has Jewish blood.

    "Ai... Mr. Emmanuel, I'm sorry, I don't know... I didn't know you were here." Frederick, who has always liked to jump up and down, became nervous at this moment, and even spoke a little Stuttering, let Sean open their eyes.

    "Relax, Fred, I'm just chatting with friends, don't do this." The other party raised his eyebrows and said.

    "Don't be nervous, Fred, it's common to get caught talking bad about the boss behind your back." A tall man sitting with Emmanuel joked at this time with a smile.

    "Hello, Mark." Frederick greeted awkwardly.

    Emmanuel looked at Sean at this time: "Hello, Sean, I'm Ali Emmanuel, one of the founders of Endeavour, nice to meet you, Trust me, I'm definitely not a stingy tyrant."

    "I don't think so either." Sean smiled and got up and shook his hand.

    “Frankly, although this is our first official meeting, you give me a very different feeling,” Emmanuel said immediately, “confident, serious, passionate Wait, I can't describe more, but everything Fred said about you should be believable, no wonder it works miracles."

    "Thank you, Mr. Emmanuel." Sean was somewhat flattered to be praised by the boss of a brokerage firm.

    However. The other party's next sentence made him have the urge to roll his eyes: "Are you interested in letting me represent your affairs?"

    Frederick immediately widened his eyes beside him, the nervous look that had just disappeared returned to his face again, and then looked at Sean nervously.

    "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Emmanuel, I think Fred is a good agent. Although we argue a lot, we still get along like a family." Sean smiled. Said, "So, sorry."

    Emmanuel laughed immediately. Obviously, what he said just now was to scare Frederick. Even so, the agent breathed a sigh of relief.

    However, to say that Emmanuel doesn't mean anything like that, and it's not necessarily that Sean is still aware of it to some extent, and Ali Emmanuel is indeed very charming, when he When you look directly in the eyes, it's as if what you say is from the heart, and people can't help but want to believe him.

    If Sean and Frederick didn't have a good time working together, and they had come all the way from the lowest point, maybe they would really consider each other, after all, in addition to charm, Ai Manuel's ability is also one of the best.

    Even though he didn’t have much time here, Sean still heard a lot of rumors about him, for example, with CAA founder Michael Ovitz, Ron Mayer, etc. Just as people work in the WMA mailroom, Ali Emmanuel first worked in the CAA mailroom. After that, he became ICM's agent and did a good job. In the 1990s, when Ovitz and Mayer jumped to Disney and Universal respectively, which led to CAA's lack of leaders, ICM took the opportunity to poach several of their important clients. The handwriting is from the hand of Emmanuel.

    However, as is the case with personnel changes in all businesses, the otherwise complacent Emmanuel believes he deserves his rightful place in ICM, but CEO Marvin Josephson and several Senior managers don't think so. So Emmanuel angrily wanted an independent portal and pulled a group of people away from the ICM, but because of leaks, only three friends left together under his instigation and leadership. Hollywood called this infighting a midnight coup.

    After that, Emmanuel established Endeavour Elite Agency in 1996, and brought three partners from CAA the following year, while bringing comedies like Adam **** Star, so quickly gained a firm foothold. Today, although it has only been four years, everyone knows that as long as the Endeavour Elite Agency does not have infighting, it will have its own seat in Hollywood sooner or later.

    "The next step is the time for great development, so it is definitely the right thing to sign with us. We strive to meet every request of our customers." Sitting in front of the two tables that were put together, Ai Manuel said so, with an uplifting look, as if nothing could stop him.

    "Really? Who was telling me just now, oh, don't think about that character, Mark, that's impossible." Sitting next to him, we had coffee and chat before The tall man, asked in a questioning tone.

    "I told you, Mark, that role is not for you, you are that kind of muscular man now, and it has nothing to do with that role. And even in "Boogie Nights", you He is also a decadent man, not a little white face who eats soft rice." Emmanuel raised an eyebrow and said, then looked at Sean, "What do you think, Sean?"

    "I think Ali is right," Sean nodded, holding back his laughter, "You can play a good family man with character, you can play a rough, swearing policeman, you can play A decadent and uninhibited adult actor can play a special offering with agile skills, but it is completely irrelevant to Xiaobailian."

    "Okay, I won't say anything, just the contrast effect of the show." The other party rolled his eyes and said, "It's really disappointing."

    Mark Wahlberg, this is the man who had coffee with Emmanuel, 29 years old this year, entered the entertainment industry in 1994, and has starred in 8 movies now, and also Last year, he starred in "The Edge Again" with Zhou Runfa. The "Boogie Nights" mentioned earlier was regarded as his famous work.

    After teasing Frederick, Emmanuel did not return to his seat, but called the waiter to come and put the two tables together, and then chatted with himself Wahlberg called over to chat.

    As a result, Sean and the others had to shelve the previous discussion for a while, although it was somewhat depressing, after all, they did not send an invitation, and Frederick always seemed very nervous.

    But Emmanuel's humorous attitude quickly turned their senses. After all, as a successful agent, being able to speak well is the most basic skill, and observing one's words is a necessary skill. Seeing what someone said, but still making the other party not aware of it, that is the top level. So the two sides got along very happily, and even Frederick relaxed completely, and occasionally gave his boss a few words of help.
