Best Actor

Vol 2 Chapter 53: progressively higher pay

    Many times, the two sides of the parties seem to have a lot of trouble, but only one step is needed to solve the conflict smoothly. However, once the stalemate stage is entered, it is difficult for the two sides to bow their heads actively, especially if they are still people with status, but they have not reached the point where they can cooperate with the enemy for the sake of profit.

    At this time, an outsider who understands the situation is needed to break the deadlock, just like Sean, who is inextricably linked to them, but is actually just a bystander. This is destined for him to better grasp the center of the matter and make the most appropriate response. In fact, he did a good job.

    Just two sentences, not only put the core problem on the surface, but also gave a step to let one of them go down, and at the same time established himself in the position of the male protagonist. Yes, that's right, after those remarks, as long as Zack and Schumacher negotiate, then Sean, who has the most credit, will definitely not be kicked out of the crew. It can be said that this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

    However, if you think this is very simple, it is a big mistake, you cannot accurately judge the situation, you cannot find key issues, you cannot guide topics in a targeted manner, and rash words will only be self-defeating.

    The simplest example, the step to step down is only for Zach, not Schumacher or both sides, because as a producer, he provoked this conflict first, and he was because of Judgment is unclear and dilemma. And through the steps given by Sean, he can take a step back in disguise, and at the same time reflects the authority of the producer - Sean apologized first, and asked him to join the discussion on the revision of the script.

    And when the producer took a step back, the director and the screenwriter would no longer insist, so no matter what was discussed, the conflict was over. If you change the order and give Schumacher steps first, the producer may be very happy, but the director's mood is difficult to say. If Sean will still play this role, then the director may find something that can improve his mood. to do it.

    It can be said that, being able to detect problems in a short period of time, and then make correct responses, Sean's ability to observe and adapt has reached a new level.

    "Frankly speaking, I'm still a little nervous. If I make a mistake, all my hard work will be in vain." After returning from Schumacher, Sean was really relieved, "But Anyway, the problem is solved now, so the male lead should be fine, right?"

    This last sentence is addressed to Frederick.

    "If they're as good as you say they are, then they should be fine." Leave as soon as Sean shows up, then wait in the car outside until he's out and send him back The agent nodded.

    "That's great." Sean breathed a sigh of relief, then realized something and reached out to pat Sanders, who was a little sullen, "Okay, Sandy, don't worry about it so much, You've done a great job."

    "But..." Sanders was still a little disgusted.

    "In fact, this is not bad, although there are some adventures except for a little accident, but the result is better. If it goes on like the original, I may not be able to get the role, and when the time comes, I will see It's a lot harder to change the script by the end," Sean said with a smile, then glanced at Frederick.

    The agent who wanted to say something then shut his mouth.

    The matter about "Sniper Phone Booth" has come to an end. As Frederick predicted, although the crew did not explicitly say it, it has basically been decided, and the next step is to discuss the remuneration and contract previous thing. Sean also began to take a temporary break to prepare for the upcoming shooting. Although I don't know when it will be, it will definitely not be too long.

    And then, during the rest time, he also paid attention to other aspects. For example, the shares of netflix have been completely acquired, and "My Grand Greek Wedding" has also completed preparations, just waiting for the start date . In addition, Neil's investment company is also doing a good job. As I said before, he recommended some potential IT stocks to many investors. After the IT bubble passed, these investors made money. , the company will naturally grow and develop.

    But Neil was still not satisfied, and even complained to Sean on the phone: "Since you are optimistic about "My Big Greek Wedding", why not let me raise money for you? If It's good for investment companies to make...even a lot of money."

    In this regard, Sean just rolled his eyes, what a joke, once the net profit trick is used, how much money is left for investors outside the circle? At that time, it is difficult to say whether the reputation of the investment company is good or bad.

    Actually, if it can really help the development of the investment company, Sean actually doesn't mind letting Niela invest, after all, that company also has its own shares, and the purpose of setting up the investment company is also this . It was only after he had a deep understanding of the Hollywood-style ledger that he became hesitant. If he did not share the accounts with investors outside the circle, it would affect the reputation of the investment company; If there are too many, once or twice is no problem, but will it be rejected by the big studios in the circle?

      In addition, I always felt that the prospect of "My Grand Greek Wedding" would be very good. It seemed that I had seen the relevant situation somewhere in my previous life, so I insisted that I should fund it alone, so I just made an excuse for the time being. Prevarication Neil.

    "Hi, Alice, you look so beautiful today, how are you doing?" Outside Frederick's office, Sean asked the female assistant sitting outside with a smile. .

    "Fortunately...Mr. Rogers will be back in a few minutes, please wait a moment," the other party forced a smile, then lowered his head, "Can...don't say hello to me like this, Sean?"

    Although the voice was very low, Sean still heard it, couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart, but nodded on the surface: "Okay."

     

    "He's like that, and when he comes across something about you, he starts making a fuss, you know." Sanders, who came in with him, shrugged.

    "Yeah, I know, even if he doesn't say it, I know what's going to happen if I get into Alice, so I won't do anything to her at all, am I the kind of indifferent , people who only do things according to their own preferences?" Sean spread his hands.

    "Well...to be honest, on women, you are indeed." Sanders thought for a moment, and then said in a very serious tone.

    Sean glared at him, and after a few seconds began to flip over on Frederick's desk: "I'm so upset, I need to give him some color."

    There are not many things on the agent's desk, except for the computer, various documents and small decorations, there are just a few scripts, Sean naturally took the script and read it, and soon one The name attracted him.

    At this moment, a light cough came into my ears, and when I looked up, I saw Alice standing at the door: "Sean, if you can, please don't..."

    The office is transparent, so she can easily see what he is doing when she sits outside. Although the words are not finished, but looking at Alice's slightly disturbed appearance, she knows what she wants to say Well, it seems that Frederick had scolded her severely after she found "The Sniper Phone Booth" because of Shawn's random flipping of the script.

    "Sorry." Sean immediately opened his hands and walked out from behind the desk, then quickly glanced at the name of the script and kept it in his mind.

    "Sure enough, you basically won't refuse a woman's request." After he sat back, Sanders joked, and Sean just shrugged.

    Frederick came back soon, walking briskly, looking very happy, before he came in and said hello: "Hey guys, you are really early."

    "It wasn't us early, it was you late, Fred." Sean said with a smile.

    "Really?" The broker looked at the time uncertainly, "Okay, don't worry about that, there is good news, the contract has been drawn up, if you read it and there is no problem, you can When I signed the contract, I asked them for a salary of 2 million."

    "Oh?" Sean was a little surprised, "You thought there would only be one million."

    "How is it possible, you are one of the youngest Best Actor nominees for the Golden Globes and Oscars, and you have two movies with good box office. 2 million is very suitable." Frederick Ke said proudly, "If it weren't for the low investment in the film, about 13 million, I could have asked for more."

    As he said, he glanced at Sanders: "If it is an investment of 40 million, I can completely negotiate with a salary of 4 million."

    "Okay okay, we all know you're amazing," Shawn shook his head with a smile, and flipped over the things he was handed over, "In that case, then I'll take a step first and let Lawyers look at this contract."

    "No problem," probably because Sanders didn't retort himself as usual, Frederick was in a better mood, "By the way, the start-up time is about October, and the plan is four weeks. Finish the filming within the year, remember to be prepared. Schumacher and the others said that the first plan was November, but because of your appearance, they saved them a lot of trouble.”

    "Ha, then I should be more proud." Sean laughed.

    In addition to the office, I called Galen, who was guarding outside, and the three came out together.

    Sean saw it in his eyes, and after getting in the car, he found a pen and paper, and after writing a few words, he handed it to Sanders: "Sandy, I want you Do me a favor and look up the details of this movie?"

    "Details?" Sanders took over in confusion.

     "Yes, the more specific content of the story, which actors are participating, and which company is responsible for the production." Sean explained briefly.

    "What good thing did you see on Fred's desk just now?" Sanders asked half-jokingly.

    "Do me this favor, okay?" Sean looked at him with a smile.

    Saunders sighed, then laughed again: "Well, who asked me to be your assistant."

    His eyes fell on the sheet of paper, and the title of the movie was simple: The Perfect Thief.
