Chapter 439: And Also
It was indeed a wise decision to find Vladimir as CEO in the first place, and he has the ability to have connections and is a very qualified housekeeper. The most important thing is to be good at judging the situation, and if he hadn't stood firmly on Sean's side this time, it would be difficult to say what the board would have looked like. In addition, he also helped with a lot of ideas in this case, so Sean asked him so at this time.
Since you want to weave your own net, of course, you should not be ashamed to ask, not to mention that Vladimir's time in Hollywood is not short at all.
"Okay, I got it," Sean nodded, and then the subject changed, "So, what's going on with our movie?" ”
"They have nothing to say after the verdict comes out, and they should be able to negotiate in two months, we are not greedy, as long as the distribution rights of the DVD are on the line." Vladimir said with a shrug.
"Two more months?" Sean twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
This movie is naturally the live-action version of "Transformers", which can be talked about from 03 years to the present, although it cannot be said that there are no ancients before and after them, but it is also a few. In fact, it was already going to be negotiated before, but because of Sean's case, all aspects were affected, and the producers who first found Hasbro were unwilling to be excluded, so they jumped out to make trouble, and DreamWorks and Universal also had their own ideas, so they dragged it down again, and after the verdict came out.
However, Camila's heroine shouldn't have a problem, Michael? Bei once mentioned other candidates, but unfortunately he has no right to speak now because he has lost several movies, and Reincarnation Pictures has intervened in the live-action movie of "Transformers" early, and DreamWorks has been declining in the past two years, and Spielberg recommended his godson as the leading actor, so there is no competition on it.
"Okay, it's been such a long time anyway, two months is two months, but it should be noted that we want all the DVD distribution rights, not ordinary DVD distribution rights," Sean immediately thought of one thing, "Sony and Toshiba are competing for the standard of HD DVD, we don't care about their competition, but I'm worried that someone will make a fuss about this, and when the time comes, we will say that we only have the distribution rights of ordinary DVDs, and take the opportunity to take the distribution rights of HD DVDs." ”
Since you want to work hard to expand your network and have a position that matches your net worth, you must do what you say, even if you have no experience in management, you should try it within your ability. Fortunately, he still has grown and is lucky, and he happened to read some information about Sony and Toshiba competing for the HD DVD standard before coming today, so he brought it up at this time.
This is just right, because Vladimir did not think of this problem and immediately said that he would pay attention. Then, the two talked a few more words, and Sean got up and left.
Some things can't be rushed, and Reincarnation Pictures is still on the rise, so what Sean really has to do is to pick out a few more good scripts. Whether it's for Reincarnation Pictures, or for his leather bag company, Tang's Pictures, it's very good, and sometimes there are other functions, such as-
"Hey, Little Joe, over here." Sean stretched out his hand and waved, wearing a sleeveless shirt and jeans, a young beauty with sunglasses with wheat-colored skin and followed the voice.
Although it is an open-air café, thanks to Hollywood, celebrities of all sizes roam the streets every day, and people here have become commonplace. Although the previous case was in an uproar, now that the verdict has been handed down and Sean is not guilty, then for them, this has nothing to do with a movie promotion, at best, it has something to do with him, and they will come over to comfort him.
"What's the matter?" Jordana sat down, took the sunglasses that covered most of her face, and asked in a flat tone.
"I ...... I want to meet you. Sean smiled, wanting to say something light, but Jordana shook her head and was about to get up.
"Well, I want to recommend a script to you!" Sean said quickly.
"Recommended scripts?" Jordana sat back, but looked at him with distrust.
Sean sighed, took out the notebook and opened it, pulled up the script, and placed it in front of her. Although she had doubts, Jordana looked at it, quickly but seriously.
The script was not long, and it took about half an hour for Jordana to finish it, but she didn't say anything, but lowered her head to think about something, and only looked at Sean again after a while: "This...... Is there anything special about singing and dancing scripts? ”
"Hmm......" Sean scratched his head, "nothing special, I just think it should be good when it's made into a movie, you know, my instincts have always been very good." ”
"So, you want to use this script to get me back to you obediently, still as unclear as I used to be - oh no, I want to have an affair, do you?" Jordana sneered, "I can't confess to a married man like you, Sean." ”
"Of course not, little Joe," Sean waved his hand to deny, but had to change his words when he met her gaze, "Well, I'll admit, I do have a little other thought, but, I mainly want to help you." ”
"Help me?" Jordana raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, help you," Sean tried to make himself look as sincere as he could, "help you get out of the house!" Help you get rid of your parents' fingers! ”
"That's it?" Jordana pointed to the notebook, clearly disbelieving.
"It's just the beginning, there's a lot more you have to do, but there's no doubt that you need a script that will do well at the box office." Sean spread his hands.
Jordana stopped talking, Sean sighed and then said, "I can understand your feelings, little Joe, I also understand your thoughts, because...... That's how I came out on my own. ”
He leaned forward slightly: "Remember the first time we met?" I was an extra, an extra who didn't have a single line, and I went to be an extra because I had no money and I needed money to make ends meet, even if it was of average quality. ”
Jordana listened to him quietly, but although her eyes looked at her, there was a little dazed in her eyes, as if she remembered the situation at that time.
"You see, if you want to get rid of your parents' control, the first step is to have an independent financial source." Sean spread his hands, "So I left home with my savings as soon as I graduated from high school. Originally, I probably had to go back to live because I couldn't earn more money to make a living after the money was spent, but I became an actor by mistake, and I was lucky to develop, and finally had my own freedom. ”
"Are you showing off, Sean?" Jordana suddenly asked, but she didn't mean to question, and her tone was a little funny.
"Of course not," Sean shook his head, "I want to say that you started out as an actor more for fun than as a real career — hear me out." ”
After raising his hand to stop Jordan from talking, Sean continued: "At that time, your parents felt that there was no harm in trying the life of an actor, so they expressed their support, and you also had a good start, "The Teacher is Not a Person" is an interesting movie. ”
"My first work wasn't 'Teachers Are Not People,' Sean." Jordana corrected.
"I know, I'm just giving you an example," Sean doesn't care, "and it's with these successes that you start to get more and more interested in acting and want to make it your career." But at this time, your parents objected, and it is one thing to try the life of an actor, and it is another thing to become a professional actor. So you start to get confused, you start to be overwhelmed, you don't know what else you can do without them, don't be in a hurry to object, your promise to go back to Yale is the best proof of this. ”
He smiled, with an insightful gaze: "Although you gave in for a while, you were always unwilling in your heart, because you like to perform, you don't want to be bound by your family, you don't want to go down the path arranged by your parents, you don't want to ...... Let them know something. But you don't know how to fight, so you found me, hoping to marry me temporarily, to avoid the pressure put on you by your family. ”
"I'm starting to feel like you're getting more and more annoying." Jordana frowned.
It's normal, no one will like the privacy in his heart to be revealed so directly, but Sean is not worried.
"So I think it's necessary to help you out, to help you get out of your family, and the easiest way to do that is to find you a good script that will sell well." He tapped his notebook as he spoke.
"Don't you think this script is right for you?" Sean smiled and said, "Keep working hard for your dreams, for your career, and for proving yourself." ”
Jordana bit her lip and didn't speak, but her eyes never left Sean for a moment, as if she wanted to see a hole in him.
"If this movie starring you without your parents is doing well at the box office, then you are initially independent, and then as long as you keep it up, you don't have to care too much about what your parents mean, like ......" Sean thought about, "just like Millie." ”
"Millie?" Jordana was a little surprised, and then her gaze became suspicious again, "What did you do to her?" ”
"To be exact, it should be what she did," Sean's eyebrows trembled slightly, but he still didn't move on the surface, "She came to me as soon as her 18th birthday passed, hoping that I would help her find a role, find a role that would allow her to be independent from the family, to be honest, Little Joe, Millie is more actionable than you." ”
Jordana immediately snorted, bit her lip again, looked at him with hateful eyes, and said a little unconvinced: "You are really kind, Sean." ”
"No, that's not the case......" Sean sighed lightly and took Jordana's hand, "This is what I owe you, Little Joe." ”
Jordana twitched twice without twitching, and originally wanted to sneer, but after meeting his calm look, she could only grind her teeth: "Don't you worry about being seen by reporters, and then take photos and put them in the media, so that your longing goddess is disgusted?" ”
Sean was stunned.
