Best Actor

    The doorbell rang, looked at the monitor, and Sean opened the door and walked out.

    "When did you have such a beautiful villa again, Sean?" Frederick laughed when he drove in the car. After a while, he was so complacent most of the time.

    "It's not mine, it's from a friend of mine. I borrowed it for a few days." Sean said this and greeted Richard Leyson who came with him .

    "Hope you can bring me good news, Fred," he said with open arms after greeting them in the living room.

    "It's good news, of course," Frederick frowned, "you think I don't care about you? You're wrong, Sean, how can I not care about you, your business is my business!"

    "Can you not say those disgusting words?" Sean shivered, "Richard is still here, don't talk like I have something out of the ordinary with you."

    Frederick, who just took a sip from the water glass, suddenly spit out and coughed, his facial features a little distorted.

    When he finally recovered, Leyson raised his hands and waved: "It doesn't matter, you can pretend that I don't exist, and do whatever you want."

    Especially with his serious attitude, Frederick almost spit out again, while Sean laughed.

    "Nice joke, Sean, nice joke." The agent, who was pulling his bow tie and wiping his mouth with a tissue, said in a depressed and helpless tone.

    "It's not bad to use your embarrassment to make me happy, Fred." Sean continued to laugh.

    "Are you happy now? Then..." Frederick didn't bother with him in this regard, and pointed at himself and Leyson.

    "Okay, let's get down to business, but welcome Richard to join us first," Sean put away his smile and shook hands with Leyson, "I will leave all my public relations affairs to you in the future, I hope You can often come up with something that surprises us."

    "It is my honor to serve you and see you become a star step by step." Leyson nodded seriously.

    After the release and success of "The Genius Ripley", Frederick suggested that Sean have a PR with a long-term employment relationship, and Richard Leyson had previously After the two contacts, Sean feels pretty good. He has the foundation of cooperation and is an employee of a famous public relations company, so he was selected.

    "I've exchanged opinions with Richard before," Frederick said immediately, "We all have similar views, although the New York Post is so quick It came out to our surprise, we could have said it at a better time to get more and better attention, but they ruined the plan. But based on what happened afterwards, the impact was not as bad as imagined Instead, it has produced a good skiing effect in many ways.”

    "Oh? Didn't you read those newspaper reports? Like the column of that guy named Michael Hatton in the Los Angeles Evening News?" Sean raised his eyebrows.

    "I've seen it, and I've seen it a lot," Frederick laughed, "your focus is a little narrower, Sean, you see those guys playing off the topic, don't you think? Didn't see the people who took this to compliment you? Remember what I said after I made this suggestion?"

    Sean didn't answer, of course he remembered that it was not easy to forget that guy's tone of voice, and it was a long list of words that made him make up his mind.

    "I said those are not coming true? The movie succeeded, and you succeeded, and you played the role of the twenties well at the age of teens. No one sees it, no! Know what that means? It's something very few actors in Hollywood can do! So you just have to pay a little more attention and you'll find more people complimenting you and complimenting you at all You don't need to care about those arrogant guys!" The agent began to speak loudly again, with that intoxicated and smug expression on his face, let alone Sean, even Leyson next to him turned his head and couldn't bear to see it.

    Unconsciously, Frederick continued: "I met Minghella, and I even planned to tell him that I persuaded you to do this, or that I first Be strong and create a fait accompli for you to admit. Who knows, he didn't care at all, he just said, you are an excellent actor, you will be even better in the future, and I should help you do it."

    Here, the agent's voice became emotional, and Sean couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Frederick's eyes softened a lot, he was taking responsibility When it came to himself, why didn't he do that?

    "And, also, guess who I met when I left? That fat Harvey Weinstein! Know what he did? He actually greeted me with a look on his face He smiled and said that I recommended an excellent actor. Haha, this is the first time I have seen that **** fat man speak so pleasantly!" Frederick said, raising his voice again, with a smug look on his face. The previous state did not last even five minutes.

    Sean had to roll his eyes: "Okay, Fred, let's talk about the next thing, what should we do in this situation?"

    The reason why you are so concerned about the age issue is mainly because you are worried about being attacked on the issue of integrity. In fact, some people have questioned this point in the media. Integrity is a very important thing in any society anywhere. Even the rich have to pay attention to it. If he is a person with a bad reputation, he will not talk about it, but he acts despicable and maintains an appearance on the surface. Once a person who looks like a gentleman is exposed, he will definitely be criticized and criticized by countless people. The higher the status, the more intense it is.

    Maybe someone can use all kinds of relationships, means and money to keep themselves from being held accountable, but the good reputation before will not come back.

    Maybe some people can cover up the truth through various relationships, means and money, such as selective media coverage or cold treatment, but as Abraham Lincoln said, you can By fooling some people, you can fool all the people some time, but you can never fool all the people all the time.

     Both Guerra and Miramax didn't pay much attention to this, and Sean naturally wanted to settle the media side as soon as possible.

    "It's easy, we're ready." Frederick laughed, then pointed to Leyson next to him.

    "We contacted Jay Leno, and he was very interested." Leyson said bluntly, unlike Frederick who likes to confuse things.

    "Jay Leno? The Tonight Show?" Sean looked at them in surprise.

    "Yes, your first official role was a small supporting role in "Friends", so I contacted David and met with Raynor through him. Raynor has also seen it these days. After understanding your news in a little more detail, I immediately agreed to introduce me to the person in charge of NBC, and then the negotiation was done." Frederick snapped his fingers.

    There are countless talk shows on several major public television stations, but there are only a handful of ace shows, and Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show" is one of them. This 50-year-old, gray-haired, and somewhat rich middle-aged man is a rather humorous host. Since 1987, he has been hosting "The Tonight Show" on behalf of the class. In 1992, he officially became the host of "The Tonight Show", and he has been doing it all the time. Now.

    This shows how well Jay Leno has done, and only a few talk show hosts such as David Letterman can compete with him. If you have a good show and perform well, there will definitely be no small gains.

    "He just... agreed?" Sean was still a little puzzled.

    "Of course, do we need to think more about this kind of thing? The controversial male protagonist of a popular movie is about to appear on the show, such a topic of interest, even David Lehmant I will agree." Frederick chuckled.

    David Lymant is one of the producers of "Everybody Loves Raymond", if he really doesn't care, then it does show that Sean is of great value. Of course, the agent is just taking this as an example. In order to instill the meaning of fame to Sean, he has not completely changed his mentality yet.

    "So...what about Miramax?" Sean didn't bother about this topic, and asked the film company's opinion.

    "Also communicated, they welcome any move that can promote the movie to boost the box office, so we just need to discuss now, what needs to be paid attention to when talking about," the agent was proud again Laughing, "I said, I've been running for you all the time, Sean."

    "Okay okay, thank you, Fred, thank you for your hard work." Sean rolled his eyes and said insincerely, then turned to look at Leyson, who rarely spoke.

    The latter did not disappoint him, and went straight to the subject: "You just need to keep the image in the film, dynamic and mature at the same time, to make people's first impression of you Twenty-somethings, not teenage hairheads, I don't think it's a problem for you. The main focus right now is that there's a stark contrast between your actual age and your movie image, so people are surprised And questioning, I think you should keep it up and continue to reinforce that image through talk shows, to make people think it’s normal for you to do this, and it can become one of your styles in the future…”

    Different from Frederick's always complacent and solicitous appearance, Leyson's tone was calm, without any extraneous words, and it was very comfortable to hear. The agent would interject a couple of sentences at first, but then he began to listen, and this continued until the door rang.

    "How come there are only two more people here in a few hours?" Jordana, who appeared at the door with her luggage, looked at the three people in the living room very unexpectedly.
