After the turn of the millennium, the bursting of the Internet bubble slowed down the pace of online media and traditional media, which were already beginning to intersect, although 911 indirectly led to the development of blogs, but it was only a boost, and it was still far from merging. Therefore, Levitt's article posted on his blog has caused too much repercussions in traditional media.

However, in the Internet, this comment has received overwhelming support, and countless fans have left messages below to express their support.

"Sean's performance was impeccable." This is the average movie fan.

"I love him so much, I've seen every one of his movies!" This is a die-hard movie fan.

"I have all the tapes and DVDs of all his films, and I have seen all the commercials he played! I wish I could see him in person! I hope to get his signature, preferably on my body! "Crazy fans at this time.

"He looks tasteful, and I'd love to date him if I could." This is a female movie fan.

"I didn't expect him to be from San Francisco, it's a beautiful city, I've always wanted to go, maybe I can have a beautiful encounter with him somewhere." This is...... Well...... Certain male movie fans.

In short, 90% of the comments are supportive, and even some offensive things are quickly brushed down. This can also be regarded as a return on Sean's original investment, as early as the filming of "Ocean's Eleven", he was with Frederick and publicist Richard? Leyson discussed how to promote himself online.

"The era of celebrities relying on maintaining a sense of mystery to attract fans is over, and the more you can show a pro-people posture in the next few years, the more you can gain the favor of fans. Of course, a certain sense of distance also needs to be maintained, we don't need to be too close to the people in reality, but we can do this in the network. Moreover, gossip tabloids always exist, instead of letting them smear, it is better to take the initiative to guide public opinion among fans, so that even if there is any problem, as long as it is not very serious, fans will stand on my side as soon as possible. Here's what Sean said to his agent and PR at the time.

He racked his brains to remember these things, and as before, they were all a little fragmented, and the above words were still organized in his head for a long time before they were straightened out, and the rest could only be figured out by the agent and the publicist themselves. Fortunately, both Frederick and Leysin are capable people, and among agents and PRs, it is not that no one sees the energy of the network.

Therefore, even if their method is very simple, it is probably to contact some people and ask them to create some topics on the Internet when a new movie is released, Sean did not ask in detail, anyway, he doesn't understand this very well, and the current level of the Internet is still very different from those experienced in his previous life. But the effect is very good, it was already obvious when the five movies in five months broke out before, and it is not surprising that it is so now.

And Sean also gained something, he also thought of something that could be used when recalling the news, but with the current conditions, he didn't know what to do, he could only wait for the opportunity, anyway, he was closer to ordinary people in his own position.

Even if Levitt's article didn't make too many waves in the traditional media, Sean's fame is still getting higher and higher, and no one can deny that "Sniper Phone Booth" is a wonderful movie with a unique perspective, even if there are many flaws, and Sean's performance is also very eye-catching.

Who would have thought that more than three years ago, he was just an unknown young man, and now he is a star who is close to the first line, which is fast enough to make many actors who have been famous for a long time envious, jealous and hateful. It's not that they're narrow-minded — although there certainly are — and it's not uncommon for young actors to become popular because of a movie, but the point is that Sean's acting skills are recognized.

Those popular young actors are basically idols, and once people are not interested in him, or there is a new idol with the same to replace him, it is easy to fall from the clouds. Moreover, even if they don't have these, or if they survive and want to maintain their popularity after a few years of popularity, then they must transform, and idol stars are the most difficult to transform.

But Sean is different from them, he took a more literary route when he came up, and then he was nominated for an Oscar, and he easily drew a clear line with his idol. Even after that, he also participated in commercial films such as "Breaking Bad" and "Ocean's Eleven", but the former was only a cameo, and the latter did not have many scenes, but after the release of "Fast and Furious", there were rumors that he wanted to develop in the idol side, but after the release of "Sniper Phone Booth", he immediately pulled back a city.

"I have to say that luck is a big part of it, and as some people say, I've always met good scripts and directors who appreciate me, and I want to thank them." Immediately after the movie was released, Sean said so on a talk show.

At this time, there is no need to brag about it, six movies in six consecutive months, plus the good reputation and good box office of "Sniper Phone Booth", and then promote Sean's surprising acting experience, the limelight is not for a while, and even the box office with "Fast and Furious" has risen a few points. Therefore, it is also necessary to show your modesty at this time, so as not to be too limelight.

Anyway, the facts are already there, and they can't be attacked at will, and no one is expecting now—including Sean—that something will happen a few months later that will bring attention to Sniper Phone Booth, which was almost offline at that time.

"Then I came to Europe, and the crew was very tolerant of allowing me to go on the last show, and if it dragged on, Tony would probably get angry, and I didn't want to see him angry, although I had never seen him." Saying this, Sean was sitting on a chair under the tent, with a towel around his neck and his hair a little wet.

Minghella had just fallen while filming in the pond and was soaked all over his body, so in order to prevent the shooting from being hindered by the cold, Minghella deliberately allowed him to rest for a few minutes.

"I don't think so, I mean Tony never gets angry, of course, maybe no one has ever made him really angry, so the threshold for him to be angry is high." A slightly chubby, forty-something-looking man sitting in front of him wagged his fingers and smiled.

"So you provoked Tony to get angry without us knowing, Philip?" Sean immediately asked rhetorically.

"Hey, Sean, this is slander." Philip? Seymour? Hoffman screamed, and then burst into a low laugh.

After being on the talk show, Sean took a rented private jet to Europe to report to the crew, as mentioned above, Miramax only agreed to let him report after the release of "Sniper Phone Booth", but did not say that he could still be on the show. However, no one expected that the film would receive such attention, even if because of the budget, Fox would not organize the creative team to promote it city by city, but if it does not take advantage of the current situation to strengthen Sean's image in front of the media and in front of the public, it will be a bit of a loss.

So Frederick hurriedly communicated with Miramax, and finally got the other party to make a small concession and agree to participate in at least one show. It's not enough, but in other ways, it's possible to keep your distance in real life and shorten the distance on the Internet — the agent has advised Sean to consider starting his own blog.

Well, it's a really embarrassing thing, as a reborn, to be reminded of this.

The price of the crew's relaxation was that after he arrived in Romania, it took him a day to get rid of the jet lag, and he immediately devoted himself nervously to filming, because he was in all the shots. In the delayed time, Minghella almost finished all the scenes in this scene that didn't need him, and only his was left, so naturally it was a little harder, so when he came here, Sean jumped into the pond.

"Hey, Sean, the director said he's going to get ready to continue." Sanders ran over at this time, as an assistant, naturally Sean went wherever he went.

"Got it, I'll come." Sean replied weakly, knowing that he had a maximum of ten minutes of rest.

"Cheer up, Sean, you can handle it, just like you did with Ripley the Genius." Hoffman coaxed at the side.

"Shut up, Philip, you have to dare to be verbose, the next time we play, I'll let you NG ten times." Sean said half-threateningly, half-jokingly.

"No problem, Tony won't blame me anyway." The guy whistled, and another chuckle elicited a chuckle.

Sean shrugged his shoulders and was about to walk to the set, but before he could take two steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Hoffman with a hesitant look: "Philip......"

"How?" Hoffman, who was stretching, looked at him strangely, then laughed, "Well, if you're really worried, then change it to five times, and Tony will believe it." ”

Sean immediately rolled his eyes, then took a deep breath and pretended to sneer: "I thought about it for a while, let's change it to let you NG twenty times." ”

"Then we'll see." Hoffman daxiao up.

Listening to this laughter, Sean, who walked to the set again, sighed in his heart, he actually wanted to remind him.

When I worked with Hoffman in "The Genius Ripley" before, because of the other party's casual personality without a frame, the two of them also made friends, and this time I came to Europe, and he happened to play a secondary role in it, so I visited him for the first time. Who knows, when Sean went to Hoffman's room, because the door was not locked, he pushed it in, so he saw that he was hurriedly trying to wipe the powder off the coffee table.

"Just a little heroin, no big deal." When Sean asked, Hoffman replied with a twinkle in his eyes.

To be honest, Sean was taken aback, Hoffman had taken drugs, and he knew that, because the other party hadn't shied away from it in the chat before. However, he also said that he had quit, but now it seems that he has relapsed.

But Sean didn't say much, just briefly persuaded a few words, and then shut up after Hoffman said that he would be in control. This kind of thing is not easy to interfere with, and if you talk too much, I'm afraid it will turn against you, after all, ...... Hoffman had quit drugs and relapsed, so although he wanted to remind him a few more words as a friend, he changed his words when the words came to his lips.

It should be fine, as long as he can control himself. Sean Zuihou thought so.
