Best Actor

Vol 2 Chapter 143: you owe me a movie

    "Don't talk, don't talk, I know what you're trying to lose, Fred, I'll admit I'm wrong, OK?" The moment Frederick opened his mouth, Sean raised a hand said so.

    The bright sun shines on the grass, and the few trees in the distance look lush and lush.

    "Hey, I haven't said anything yet." The manager spread his hands and looked puzzled, but he saw the smug look on his brows and knew that it was fake.

    "You really think I can't see anything." Sean rolled his eyes at him immediately.

    "That's right, if he's upset, he's not a wild Fred." Sanders teased beside him.

    "Wild Fred? When did he get such a nickname?" Galen sang next to him.

    "Just now, I used to describe it as manic, but it may be a bit rude, so I changed the word." Sanders said solemnly.

    Frederick immediately folded his arms and stared at the two guys, raised his eyebrows and looked unhappy but did not speak, as if he wanted to see what they were talking about.

    Sean then smiled and rounded up: "Okay, anyway, Fred is right this time, although I can't ignore the actor's work, but I did pay too much attention to other aspects, So once there is no film work, the popularity in this area will be left far behind."

    "You finally understand my pains, Sean, this makes me so happy, don't worry, it's still too late to catch up, I believe when "Sniper Phone Booth" is released, everyone will Change your opinion." Frederick gave him a soft hug.

    "Fox hasn't decided on the release date of The Sniper Booth, Fred." Sanders said immediately.

    "It doesn't matter, there's Fast and the Furious, and The Perfect Rogue..." Frederick paused here, grinning as if thinking of something, and then immediately recovered, "Of course, it would be better if he could play the male lead in a big-budget, high-box-office movie."

    His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which seemed to be a good thing.

    Although Sean noticed it, he didn't think much about it, just asked: "Okay, what can you recommend?"

    "Unfortunately, I have nothing to recommend." The agent spread his hands unexpectedly.

    "No?" Sean is very surprised, how is this possible? !

    "Well, there's one worth fighting for, but I'm not very optimistic." Frederick changed his words immediately.

    "So do you have it, or haven't it?" Sanders didn't miss any opportunity to ridicule him.

    Frederick was not fooled, just looked at Sean: "Although the investment is over 100 million, the producer is still the famous Jerry Bruckheimer, and a few days have made a big move , when they asked for a supporting role, the uglier the better, but this is a pirate movie after all."

    "Pirate movie?" Sean raised his eyebrows. To talk about the most famous pirate movie in the new century, he remembers a series. If nothing else, it should be this one.

    "Yes, it's called "Pirates of the Caribbean", and it is said that there is a subtitle, but I haven't thought about it yet." Frederick shrugged, "You know, movies related to pirates are in Hollywood. There are very few popular ones, and Cutthroat Island a few years ago made MGM's already poor financial situation worse."

    "But it sounds good, Bruckheimer is still the producer." Sean rubbed his chin and said.

    "What, do you like this movie?" Frederick asked, aware of something, "I have to remind you, Sean, unless the North American "Fast and the Furious" and "Sniper Phone Booth" The box office can exceed 100 million, otherwise, don’t try such a script with too many uncertain factors, even if you are optimistic about this movie.”

    "Really?" Sean looked at him amusedly, "When did you become conservative, Fred?"

    "I'm serious, Sean, if it weren't for the success of My Big Greek Wedding and the hit of YouRaiseMeUp, if you really wanted it, I wouldn't Hesitating to fight for you. But now the situation is different, you have to really treat the actors as your homepage, and pirate movies should not be touched for the time being, even if there is a famous producer in charge.” Frederick said very seriously.

    Sean chuckled, pondered for a few seconds, then patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Fred, I'm not going, I'm not interested in this role, even if I'm really optimistic about the future of the movie."

    Speaking of this, he sighed in his heart, and now he really has to give up this opportunity completely. Although Sean had vowed before that he would not consider competing for the role of "Pirates of the Caribbean", but after hearing the news of the film project, he was still a little moved.

    In any case, Captain Jack Sparrow is a classic character. If he can successfully perform the character's charm, it will definitely leave a heavy mark in film history.

    It's not difficult, the role makes the actor, without Johnny Depp, Sparrow is not Sparrow This idea is only believed by ordinary people. In the final analysis, this role is nothing more than a few traits such as orchid finger, sissy, neurotic, plus the make-up artist and prop artist just right, impressive smoky makeup, it is not too difficult for any actor with accumulation matter.

    But the question is, what exactly does Sean want, a popular superstar with huge commercial value, who can ask a big studio for 50 million remuneration, and the other party has to greet him with a smile? Or is it a well-connected, well-known, well-respected artist?

    Some people may say, why not do both at the same time? That is the goal of those who achieve great things. Yes, it's certainly worth the challenge, and for Sean to be the best he can be, but which is the point? Which is to be done first? The first or the second?

    Don't talk about doing it together, greed will only chew it up, and in the end, both paths will not work. So, which of the two paths is easier? There is no doubt that the first, although it has a lot of ups and downs, is really simple.

    To discover your own commercial value, you only need to play the leading role in a movie that sells well at the box office, and get the recognition of the audience that you are the most suitable person for this role. Of course, if the commercial film starred in loses money, and the loss is severe, the commercial value will drop at an unexpected speed.

      In people's eyes, it is a posturing.

    But not everyone has the ability to think independently, and more people are willing to believe in the standard, that is, the opinion of the judges of the film school, that is, the Academy Awards.

      The awards are basically for American films.

    In order to win the Oscar, the nomination depends on the strength, and the winning depends on the luck. It is easier for Americans than foreigners, and it is easier for people to have public relations than to not have public relations. But even so, some people have been nominated several times in their life but have never won an award, and some people can get on the throne after being nominated for the first time. Therefore, the Oscar statuette is something every actor yearns for, so... Sean chose this road.

    There is a saying in the past life, it is not easy after the easy, and it is not difficult after the difficult. As mentioned above, it is not difficult to fully explore one's own business value, and the business value is very unstable. If it is just to get a higher salary, after owning the shares of Google and the growth of his own production company, Sean is fundamentally No need for this.

    As for proving one's ability and worth, honor is undoubtedly more practical than a high-grossing movie, especially if there is no shortage of money. More importantly, looking at the best actor Oscar winners, which one came to the top actor after playing a blockbuster series of commercial films?

    Even the "Godfather" series is not a big commercial series in the true sense, and Al Pacino, who should have won the best actor, has been slow to the early 1990s. "Old Age" in his early 50s won the award, almost ten years after his old nemesis Robert De Niro.

    Sean doesn't have so much time to waste, and he doesn't plan to waste so many years. Although there are still many problems to be solved, his ambitions go beyond winning awards.

    So, even though there was such a big temptation in front of him, and Sean was really moved, he still chose to give up. Sometimes this is the case. Only by learning to give up can you gain more in the future.

    But after "Pirates of the Caribbean" comes out, Frederick may have to be sad for a few more days, so don't care about Sean - well, just talking, if true That way, Sean won't say things like "I'm really not interested in this character."

    In any case, my agent is still very competent. If he can not hit him, he will not hit him. If he can squeeze him as much as possible, he will try to squeeze him as much as possible.

    "Hey, how long are you guys going to stay there? It's already kick-off." A man with a golf club came over.

    "I told you, Mark, I don't know how to play golf, you have to let me come, do you want to see how I make a fool of myself?" Sean spread his hands to the other side .

    "If you want to think so, so be it." Mark Wahlberg laughed.

    "You guy..." Sean rolled his eyes immediately.

    "I think since you can make a movie and you can sell it, and you can release a song and it can be very popular, then you can play golf and you can get good grades, don't you think? ?" Wahlberg said solemnly at first, then burst into laughter a few seconds later.

    "I knew..." Sean raised his eyebrows, then gave a wicked smile, "Hey Mark, you owe me a movie."
