Many times, the two sides of the parties seem to be in trouble, but it only takes one step to successfully resolve the conflict. It's just that once it enters the stalemate stage, it is difficult for the two sides to take the initiative to bow their heads, especially if they are still people with status, but they have not reached the point where they can cooperate with the enemy for the sake of interests.

At this time, it is necessary to have an outsider who understands the situation to break the deadlock, like Sean, who is inextricably linked to them and is actually just a bystander. This is destined for him to be able to grasp the center of the matter more and react most appropriately, and in fact he does not do a bad job.

is just two sentences, not only putting the core issues on the surface, but also giving steps for one of them, and at the same time faintly establishing himself in the position of the leading actor. Yes, that's right, after those words, as long as Zach and Schumacher negotiate, then Sean, who has the most credit, will definitely not be kicked out of the crew, and it can be said that this is a matter of killing several birds with one stone.

However, if you think that this is very simple, you are very wrong, you can't accurately judge the situation, you can't find the key issues, you can't guide the topic in a targeted manner, and you will only be self-defeating if you speak rashly.

In the simplest example, the steps to step down are only given to Zach, not Schumacher or both, because as a producer, he was the one who provoked this conflict first, and he was also in a dilemma because of his unclear judgment. And through the steps given by Sean, he can take a step back in disguise, and at the same time reflect the authority of the producer - Sean took the lead in daoqian, and asked him to join in the discussion of the revision of the script.

And after the producer took a step back, the director and screenwriter would no longer insist, so no matter what the outcome of the discussion, the conflict was over. If the order is changed and Schumacher is given the step first, the producer may be happy, but it is difficult to say the director's mood, and if Sean will still play this role, then the director may find something to do that can improve his mood.

It can be said that being able to perceive a problem in a short period of time and then respond correctly has raised Sean's ability to observe words and improvisation.

"Frankly, I'm still a little nervous, and if I make a mistake in judgment, all the effort I put in during this time will be in vain." After returning from Schumacher, Sean was really relieved, "But anyway, the problem is solved now, and the actor should be fine, right?" ”

Zuihou said this to Frederick.

"If they're really as good as you say, then they should be fine." The agent who left after Sean showed up, then waited in the car outside until he came out and then sent him back nodded.

"That's great." Sean breathed a sigh of relief, then sensed something and reached out and patted the somewhat sullen Sanders, "Okay, Sandy, don't worry so much, you've done a good job." ”

"But ......," Sanders still couldn't look away.

"Actually, it's not bad, it's a bit of a surprise, it's a bit risky, but it turns out better. If I had continued as I had done it, I wouldn't have gotten the character, and it would have been much harder to see the ending script change when the time came. Sean said with a smile, then glanced at Frederick.

The agent, who wanted to say something, immediately closed his mouth.

This is the end of the matter about "Sniper Phone Booth", as Frederick predicted, although the crew did not say it explicitly, but it has basically been decided, and the next thing is to discuss the salary and the contract before the contract. Sean also began a temporary break to prepare for the upcoming shooting, although I don't know when it will be, but it certainly won't be too long.

Then, during the break, he also paid attention to other aspects by the way, such as the shares of Netflix have been completely obtained, and "My Grand Greek Wedding" has also completed preparations, just waiting for the start of the film on a later date. In addition, Neil's investment company is also doing well, as mentioned before, he recommended some potential IT stocks to many investors, and when the IT bubble passes, these investors make money, and the company will naturally grow.

However, Neil was still not satisfied, and even complained to Sean on the phone: "Since you are optimistic about "My Grand Greek Wedding", then Weishenme won't let me raise funds for you?" If you can earn ...... Even if you make a lot of money, it is good for the investment company. ”

In this regard, Sean just rolled his eyes, what kind of joke, as soon as the trick of net profit is cast, how much money will be distributed to investors outside the circle? At that time, it is difficult to say whether the reputation of the investment company will be good or bad.

In fact, if he can really help the development of the investment company, Sean actually doesn't mind letting Neilla invest, after all, that company also has its own shares, and the purpose of establishing the investment company in the first place is also this. It's just that after an in-depth understanding of the Hollywood-style ledger, he began to hesitate, if he didn't share the accounts with investors outside the circle, it would affect the reputation of the investment company; But if you give less, you won't have an obvious effect; If you give too much, it's okay once or twice, but if you give too many times, will you be rejected by big studios in the circle?

After all, he is still a person who has just entered this circle, there is still a considerable distance from the core, and there is not much capital to squander, so he can only choose to stand still for the time being. In this way, coupled with the fact that I always felt that the prospects of "My Grand Greek Wedding" would be very good, it seemed that I had seen the relevant situation somewhere in my previous life, so I insisted on funding it alone, so I temporarily found an excuse to prevaricate Neil.

"Hey Alice, you look so beautiful today, how are you doing?" Outside Frederick's office, Sean smiled and asked the female assistant sitting outside.

"It's okay...... Mister Rogers won't be back in a few minutes, please wait," the other man smiled reluctantly, then lowered his head, "Yes...... Don't say hello to me like that, Sean? ”

Although the voice was small, Sean still heard it and couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, but he still nodded on the surface: "Okay." ”

"Fred, I just talked to Alice a few more times, and he seems to be the end of the world." After entering the office, Sean said dissatisfiedly.

"He's like that, and when he comes across something that has something to do with you, he starts making a fuss, you know." Sanders, who came in with him, shrugged.

"Yes, I know, even if he doesn't say it, I know what will happen if I get involved with Alice, so I won't do anything to her at all, am I the kind of person who doesn't care about anything and only does what I like?" Sean spread his hands.

"Hmm...... Truth be told, on top of women, you are. Sanders thought for a moment, then said in a very serious tone.

Sean glared at him and began to flip on Frederick's desk after a few seconds: "This upsets me, I need to give him some color." ”

There weren't too many things on the agent's desk, except for the computer, various documents and small decorations, there were just a few scripts, and Sean naturally took the script and flipped through it, and soon a name attracted him.

At this moment, a light cough came into his ears, and when he looked up, he saw Alice standing at the door: "Sean, if you can, please don't ......"

The office is transparent, so it is easy for her to see what he is doing when she sits outside, although she has not finished speaking, but she can know what she wants to say by looking at Alice's slightly uneasy appearance, it seems that Frederick had reprimanded her fiercely after finding "Sniper Phone Booth" because of Sean's random flipping through the script.

"I'm sorry." Sean immediately opened his hands and walked out from behind his desk, then quickly glanced at the name of the script and memorized it in his heart.

"Sure enough, for a woman's request, you basically won't refuse." When he sat back, Sanders teased, and Sean just shrugged.

Frederick soon returned, with a brisk stride and looking very happy, before he came in and greeted: "Hey, guys, you're so early." ”

"It's not that we're early, it's you're late, Fred." Sean said with a smile.

"Really?" The agent looked at the time uncertainly, "Okay, don't worry about that, there is good news, the contract has been drawn up, if you have seen that there is no problem, you can sign the contract, I asked them for a salary of 2 million." ”

"Oh?" Sean was a little surprised, "You thought there would only be 1 million." ”

"How is it possible, you are one of the youngest nominees for Best Actor at the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, and you have two movies with good box office, it is very suitable to ask for 2 million." Frederick said proudly, "If it weren't for the low investment in the film, about 13 million, I could have asked for more." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Sanders: "If it's an investment of 40 million, I can talk about it with a salary of 4 million." ”

"Okay, okay, we both know you're good," Sean smiled and shook his head, flipping through what was handed over, "In that case, then I'll go first and let the lawyer look at the contract." ”

"No problem," Frederick was in a better mood because Sanders didn't contradict himself as usual, "By the way, the start of shooting is around October, and Jihua will finish shooting in four weeks, so remember to be ready." Schumacher, they said, the first Jihua was in November, but because of your presence, they saved a lot of trouble. ”

"Ha, then I should be more proud." Sean Haha laughed.

In addition to the office, called Galen, who was guarding outside, and the three of them came outside together, and Sanders still looked like he was silent.

Sean saw it in his eyes, waited for the car to find a pen and paper to come out, and after writing down a few words, he handed it to Sanders: "Sandy, I want you to do me a favor and help me check the details of this movie?" ”

"Details?" Sanders took it over with some confusion.

"Yes, more specific story content, which actors are involved, and which company is responsible for the production." Sean explained simply.

"What good things did you just see on Fred's desk?" Sanders asked, half-teasingly.

"Do me a favor, okay?" Sean looked at him with a grin.

Sanders sighed, then laughed again, "Well, who made me your assistant?" ”

His gaze fell on that piece of paper, and the name of the movie was simple: The Perfect Thief.
