Best Actor

Chapter 95: When you have value...

    "Hi Sean, how are you?"

    "Hey Sean, nice to meet you."

    "Hi Sean, you really look just like in the movie."

     Along the way, there are people who know or don’t greet Sean from time to time, Sean has to cheer up and respond with a smile, but within a few minutes, he feels and beats Tired as a movie for hours.

    "It's really different from the previous treatment." After finally finding a corner to rest, Sean looked around and said something self-deprecating.

    It was Miramax's celebration party at the Roosevelt Hotel - well, although they didn't say it, everyone who attended knew that no one could have expected something like "The Genius Ripley" A literary film can top the North American weekend box office charts. It's not that there are no literary and artistic works that have won high box office, but they have perfectly taken into account the commerciality, such as "Forrest Gump" or "The Robbery of Pear Blossoms" and so on.

    Although "Genius Ripley" is good on the whole, the shortcomings are still obvious. Minghella's control rhythm is still a little slow. So, to achieve this level, apart from luck, for example, there just happened to be no strong movies released, and "Little Rat" has been released for almost a month, and "Challenge Sunday", which was overwhelmed at the beginning, has disappeared. But Sean undoubtedly played a major role.

      How could Ripley still earn $11.27 million in its third week? Although many people expressed disappointment after watching it, and some even claimed on the Internet that "Genius Ripley" was not worthy of its name, more people believed that it was not bad.

    In this case, Miramax naturally wanted to celebrate, so she booked a room at the Roosevelt Hotel and invited many people to attend. Sean didn't think too much about it at first, he brought Galen and Frederick with him. Unexpectedly, many people who came to the reception were very enthusiastic about him. After two laps, Galen and Frederick were very He disappeared, leaving him alone to deal with it.

    "Hey Sean, what are you doing hiding here?" Before he could rest for two minutes, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

    "I just want to rest, Fred." Sean rolled his eyes to his agent.

     "Why, the taste of fame is starting to bother you?" Frederick asked jokingly, blinking.

    "A little." Sean shrugged, then added, "Just a little."

    Indeed, it's a little annoying to deal with, but those words with touted words do have a kind of airy feeling in my ears, even knowing that they are just.

    "Where's Galen?" He changed the subject.

    "Probably accost a certain chick in a corner, he is more open than you, Sean." Frederick patted his shoulder and laughed.

    "Really, do you really think that he is in my situation, and he can still let go of the situation that many people are surrounded by and ask?" Sean asked.

    "Stop complaining, Sean, you're a big star," Frederick patted his shoulder, "You can play roles that are much older than your actual age, you can help " Ripley the Genius' topped the weekend box office charts, and you're one of the youngest actors to be nominated for Best Actor in a Drama at the Golden Globes, what's your complaint?"

    "Okay, I'm just talking." Sean quickly raised a hand, then thought about it, or asked: "How about the Golden Globes and Oscars?"

    "Which aspect? Authority? Or influence?" The agent smiled, "It's completely incomparable."

    He stretched out his hands to draw two exaggerated circles, and repeated his words: "It's completely incomparable."

    "Is it that exaggerated?" Sean was a little surprised, "Is the Golden Globe Award a well-known award? At least higher than the Youth Choice Award or the awards of various associations?"

    "The popularity is indeed quite high, but the status is similar to that of various association awards. How much authority can an award judged by less than 100 media reporters have?" Disdain, "It's too easy to influence their choices. If it is very difficult to say that the PR Oscar is very difficult, the PR Golden Globe can only be regarded as an entry."

    However, compared to the Academy of Motion Picture and Art Sciences, which has 5,000 members who can vote for the Oscars, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which hosts the Golden Globe Awards, there are fewer than 100 journalists who can vote. There is naturally more room for manipulation here than the Oscars, so the Golden Globes sometimes have scandals, but after all, it was established early, and it is an award organized by the Press Association, so it is still famous today.

    "In this case..." Sean thought of something else, but unfortunately he was interrupted by the other party before he said it: "Don't think about it, although there are some possibilities, but the probability is quite Even if the PR of the Golden Globes is the easiest, it still has to be based on a certain foundation. Now you are too young, unless the members of the Press Association suddenly feel the need to make some shocking actions, otherwise, Even if you spend millions on PR, it will only increase the 5% chance to 20%.”

    Then, the agent patted his arm again: "But don't worry, Sean, as long as you keep it up, it won't be difficult to win the Golden Globe, even Sylvester Stallone and Tom Cruise have both won the Golden Globes. So don't look too high on this, you should have bigger goals, like the Oscars. Of course, don't be delusional this year, to be nominated for the Golden Globes It's been pretty good."

    "Okay, I see." Sean raised his hand.

    Frederick chatted for a few more words before leaving, Sean was relieved again, but before he could fully exhale, another familiar person appeared in front of him, it seems that tonight is a very good one It's hard to relax.

    "Hey Sean, I didn't expect you to be in there, I thought you were in the center of the hall." Gwyneth was wearing a lake green one-shoulder evening dress and her blond hair pulled back. , with light makeup on, she looks quite beautiful.

    "You're as beautiful as ever, Gwyneth," Sean couldn't help but say, "This dress matches your eyes."

    "You can talk as always, Sean." Gwyneth smiled, then added, "Not your age at all."

    Her eyes were a little erratic, and her eyes at Sean became a little complicated. Probably after knowing his real age, she felt that it was too strange to be attracted to him in Italy.

    "Some things have nothing to do with age," Sean said, then changed the subject, "You said you thought I was in the center of the hall, why should I be there?"

    "Don't you know? You are the person everyone wants to meet tonight, and everyone wants to know how a 19-year-old can do this." , Gwyneth's eyes brightened and she became more curious.

    Although he was looked at like this, Sean sighed in his heart, knowing that when he met her at the premiere before, she quietly kept a little distance.

    "Yes, what kind of 19-year-old can do this." A familiar voice came, and then Jude and Hoffman came over.

    "You guy, you dare to hide your age, you are only 19 years old, it's too much." Although Jude put on a vicious appearance, he was about to grab his collar. The meaning of questioning, but there is a smile in his eyes.

    "I didn't mean to." Sean put on an innocent look and tried his best to say in a sincere tone.

    "I absolutely don't believe it, Sean, I absolutely don't believe it." Jude stretched out a finger and poked his shoulder, "You should be lucky if this happened when I first entered the set. If you know it, you're dead."

    "Okay, so how do I make it up to you so that you can forgive me generously?" Sean sighed.

    "Leave him alone, Sean, he's just jealous." Hoffman smiled and pulled Jude away, "But I really didn't expect you to be 19 years old, I'm at this age , I'm still thinking about how to ask the girls in the troupe out."

    Sean could hear that Hoffman was telling the truth, he was such a person, who seemed to be calm about everything. In comparison, although Jude was joking, he still showed a bit of jealousy. That sentence was largely true. If he knew he was only 19 or 18 when he entered the crew, he would have to give it to him. Embarrassing.

    But now the relationship with each other is considered to be familiar, and the response of the movie is also good, so that little jealousy has no effect. It was Gwyneth, who originally wanted to say something, but after Jude and Hoffman appeared, she finally gave up this plan, and after a few chats, she said goodbye and left.

    It would be a big mistake to think that this is the case tonight, and a few minutes after Gwyneth left, Mingella and a fat, potbellied man came over.

      He looked like two different people, "Look at our young man, how spirited."

    "Hello, Mr. Weinstein, it's a pleasure to see you here." Sean was still in that humble tone.

    "Harvey, call me Harvey," Weinstein's eyes were almost crescent-shaped, and then looked at Jude and Hoffman, "will make me and Anthony and Shawn to talk?"

    The bosses of Miramax said this, of course they wouldn't refuse, they said hello to Sean and left.

    "Oh, Sean, Sean, what should I say?" Weinstein sighed, reached out and slapped his arms hard, "You really amaze me, you are amazing."

    "Um..." Sean, who was not very comfortable with this enthusiasm, wanted to say something, but was interrupted immediately by the other party.

    "I know what you're trying to say, Sean, but I'm sure you can understand a producer's concerns, right?" Weinstein patted his arm vigorously again, "Don't Take that to heart, you're a very good actor and you have a great future, and Anthony thinks so too."

    He said and looked at Mingla, who smiled and nodded to Sean, then coughed lightly.

    Weinstein immediately showed a stunned look, and then took out something from his pocket: "I remember that the crew only paid you 300,000 yuan, right? Too little, too little, this is It doesn't reflect your worth at all, so Anthony and I decided to give you some compensation as a reward after discussing it."

    He said and handed the folded paper in his hand to Sean. It was a check. After opening it to see the number, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, it was actually 1.5 million!

    At this moment, Sean finally once again deeply realized what Frederick said at the beginning, when you have great value, they will give you whatever you want...
