Best Actor

    "The first thing I want to say is that Scorsese is a very nostalgic person, and he is more used to working with people he knows." After Sean came to Frederick's office, the agent That's what people say.

    "Everyone you know starts from the first cooperation." Sean shrugged indifferently.

     "At that time, as long as you have acting skills, vision and dedication, you can be seen by him, such as Robert De Niro. But he is now an international director, and there are countless people who want to cooperate with him. How can you be among the top? Which makes him fancy?"

    "I can reduce the price." Sean thought about it and said so.

    In normal times, Frederick would have to hit the wall and yell "I managed to get you..." or something. But his performance today was surprising. Although he still covered his face and seemed a little depressed, he quickly raised his head to look at him.

    "What if someone drops more than you?" He asked, and continued to ask without waiting for an answer: "What if someone doesn't want a salary? If someone doesn't want a salary, they have to help pull investment. Woolen cloth?"

    Raising his hands, Sean still didn't care: "That's your business, Fred, you are my agent."

    "Yes, yes, I'm your agent," Frederick sighed and pushed the stack of materials that had been on the table in front of him, "The current budget is 9,000 Wan, but I believe this will definitely not be the final investment, Warner and Miramax have participated, half of the preliminary preparations are in progress, and the casting is currently underway, if you want to join, you must hurry up."

    Sean looked at him in surprise: "Why are you so refreshing today?"

    "Because I'm your agent," Frederick shrugged and snorted, "As your agent, the first thing to understand is that once you decide what you want , you have to fight for it as much as you can, because you can’t go back unless you’re proven wrong, and worst of all, you never make a mistake.”

    "You are too exaggerated." Sean laughed.

    Unfortunately, the agent ignored it, but said to himself: "You should pay attention, Martin Scorsese appreciates those actors who are capable and willing to work hard, and hates those materials. The actor who did not participate in the audition directly to the front, so if you want to borrow the connections on both sides of Warner and Miramax to speak for you, let's give up this idea. And this movie Scorsese has the final say, at most Let them recommend you, and it depends on your own efforts."

    "As it should be." Sean wasn't too worried.

    "Also," Frederick added, "if you're confident in going to the end, the biggest opponent should be Leonardo DiCaprio, who last year and Scorsese Working on Gangs of New York—remember what I said?"

    "He is nostalgic." Sean answered immediately.

    "That's right, so you have to work harder." The broker spread his hands.

    "The last thing I worry about is hard work." Sean said and stood up, "Then that's it, the rest is still up to you."

    Playing against Leonardo DiCaprio? Well, it's really a hassle, if he hadn't worked with Scorsese, Sean shouldn't be afraid, but working together and the relationship is said to be good, it's a bit tricky. Probably because of the other party's tragic Oscar trip and his participation in the giant production of "Titanic", Sean has some memories of him, vaguely remembering that DiCaprio and Scorsese have worked together more than once.

    So, coupled with Scorsese's nostalgic character, as Frederick said, he is Sean's biggest opponent.

    "We have to win by surprise," he told Galen and Sanders.

    "How do you win by surprise? Pretend to meet Scorsese at a party?" Galen asked, pinching his chin.

    "I'm afraid not." Before Sean could speak, Sanders took the lead in rejecting the idea, "Since Fred said, Scorsese hates those who hand the information directly to him. Guys, then you wouldn't necessarily like someone you meet at a party on purpose and recommend yourself."

    "Why don't you try?" Galen retorted, "Just be careful, he may not be able to see that we did it on purpose."

      , not those who are opportunistic."

    "We can't be sure what kind of person Scorsese is, and Fred's description is only one-sided, but we don't have direct contact with him right now," Sean scratched his head With a sigh, "It's even more impossible to dress up like before to show yourself, we don't have any intersection with him."

    "Maybe..." Sanders suddenly thought of something, then frowned and shook his head, "I'm not sure, just wait, Sean, there are still auditions. For a while, and during this time, you continued to speculate on Howard Hughes, and we collected some Scorsese information and carefully analyzed his personality and hobbies."

    "...well, that's it for now." Sean agreed with his suggestion after thinking for a moment.

    According to information gathered by Frederick, Scorsese's biographical film about Howard Hughes titled "The Aviator" has not been cast for a long time, and it is not long before it is officially confirmed The cast list is still a while away, so let's lay the foundation first. Just like the Oscars, although luck is important, it depends on public relations and personal connections.

    So no matter how Sean thinks about getting to know Scorsese, he has to audition first, and if he can't even pass the most basic audition, what's the competition? Therefore, Sean immediately began to consolidate the various characteristics of Hughes analyzed before, and classified them. Since Scorsese called the movie "The Aviator", the focus must be on his manufacturing aircraft, establishing airlines and various The deeds of flight above.

    Although it is not clear how much the Italian old man will write about Hughes' scandals, Sean thinks it is better to specialize in a little bit, and as long as he catches Hughes' personality characteristics correctly, even if he meets him during the audition Don't worry about this content.

    However, although most of his energy is devoted to this, there are other things to pay attention to, such as the release of "Chainsaw", such as "Desperate Housewives" Casting.

    The former finally got an R rating under mild Werner's revision, and then it was released on April 7th. Miramax's cooperation with Samsara Pictures has been relatively smooth, and since they made a lot of money, they sold Sean's face and contacted the early 2,000 theater chains. Then, despite the small scale of publicity, with the positive reviews at the Sundance Film Festival and Sean's signature as a producer, it also attracted some attention, and successfully won 18 million at the box office in the first week!

      Just too bloody.

    "In short, this is a patient who has only a few days left in his life, because he hates those who waste his life for no reason and ignore the good things in life, and he corrects it in his own way Their story. Leaving aside his motives, James Wing tells us a wonderful story, with layers of suspense, and when you think you've finally fooled the killer, he'll tell you that the killer was actually watching you , when you think you have caught the murderer, he will tell you that the guess was wrong.

    I think, when the last scene appears, there will definitely be an exclamation in the cinema, who would have thought it would be like this, so when the sound of 'game over' sounded, it was especially in my ears shock. Win brings a different kind of horror film, sadly still too bloody, if he could have done a more balanced job, I'd definitely give it a higher rating. "This is a comment written by famous film critic Roger Ebert after hearing about the fame of "The Saw".

      Wan's low-cost horror film earned close to 40 million at the box office in two weeks, and Samsara Pictures once again made all the envy of its peers.

    "Your eyes are really vicious, if only I had a pair." Vladimir sighed half-jokingly.

    This is not only about the good results of "The Chainsaw", he is also lamenting that the film was produced by the newly established Tang Films by Sean, who won a very good Worth of film series. As a person from a big company, how could he not see the potential value of "The Saw" after its success? As long as the screenwriter uses a little brains, at least a trilogy can be produced, and the investment will not be very large. Coupled with the release of DVD, Sean, who has the copyright in hand, naturally benefits a lot.

    But the key is that, according to some loopholes deliberately left when signing the contract before, if Tang's Films will no longer be affiliated with Samsara Films in the future, then Samsara Films without copyright will lose a sum. It's just that the "Chainsaw" series is nothing, but who knows what Shaun will find in the future?

    Vladimir believes this completely. You must know that until now, most of the things he has set his sights on have not failed completely, even "Death Illusion" and "Dance of Death Row" , "The Believer" is an independent film at the box office, but its reputation is quite good.

    In short, the release of "Chainsaw" performed quite well. If it can get 50 million North American box office, then the income ratio is almost the same as "My Grand Greek Wedding" - of course, the specific income is certain not that much.
