"To put it simply, you first recommended me to this casting director, and then the other party promised to recommend me to the director and producer?" In the agent's cubicle, Sean looked at Frederick and asked.

"Of course—no!" Frederick replied in a long voice, "I said it, she wants to meet you first, and if she thinks it's good, she will naturally ask Michael?" Bey they recommend you. ”

"I thought casting directors didn't have a lot of power." Sean said with a smack of his mouth.

"It's really not big, not only the protagonist, but also many important supporting characters, they don't have the right to make decisions. However, if this line of work is done well, because serving as a contact person for various directors, agents, managers and studios for a long time can often accumulate a considerable network of contacts, and have a variety of private channels, so it has a certain right to speak. The agent explained, "Narbonnie? Timoman as an example, Tim? Robbins, Daniel? Day-Lewis, Ralph? Fiennes, Russell? Chloe had recommended her back. ”

"It doesn't sound like much." Sean had some intention of deliberately raising the bar.

"But people won't notice that," Frederick disagreed, "people will only notice those who succeed because of her recommendation, and ignore those who fail, and the more successful those people are, the higher her status in the circle will be, which is why she wants to meet you first." ”

"Want to see if I'm worth investing?" Sean sighed.

"Well, you actually have another way," the agent suddenly smiled evilly, "because the casting director needs to be careful and patient, most of them are women, and if you can get them all right, maybe you can have any role you want in the future." ”

After saying that, he raised his hand in Sean's eyes that wanted to kill: "Okay, I'm kidding." ”

Of course Sean knew, so he just snorted, and then nodded: "Okay, I know, tomorrow at noon, right?" ”

He then went out into the hallway and beckoned Galen and Saunders, who were waiting there, to leave.

"Looks like you agreed?" Sanders asked.

"Promised, otherwise Fred will be nagging in my ear for a week." Sean shrugged.

"Since you don't think it's good, then weishenme still has to agree?" Sanders shook his head, "You're the one in charge, Sean, you can't always accommodate him. ”

"It's not a big deal to talk about it, wouldn't it be better to see what the script is like before making a judgment," Galen said round, sneaking his elbow against Sanders.

Sanders shrugged his shoulders and then changed his words: "Well, see what the script is, maybe it will make your intuition clearer." ”

The matter was settled, and then the meeting on the second day went well, and the polite Sean had an appetite for Bonnie, and the talkative Bonnie also made Sean quite comfortable. So the result was a happy thing, but Frederick mentioned a small eyeball, hoping that Bonnie would recommend it around January 23, which was the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

"We have to make people see your news, and if you don't maintain a certain level of exposure, you'll be forgotten quickly, and this is a place where you love the new and hate the old." Frederick said, "When Disney producers see your name in newspapers or even headlines after they know you want to audition too, the chances of having you considered are greatly increased." ”

"Unless I win an award, I won't make headlines." Sean reminded.

"It doesn't matter, there are not many well-known newspapers in the media, there are always some medium-sized ones who are willing to put your news in the most conspicuous place, I will run this, don't worry. Of course, there may be some news that will not sound very good, such as Sean returning home disappointed, and you have to be mentally prepared. Frederick said in a big way.

Well, although this guy is a little utilitarian, he is really doing his best for him, which is why Weishenme Sean is not very optimistic about the prospects of "Pearl Harbor", but finally agreed to the audition. Everyone worked well together, and he didn't want to be unhappy because of a little thing, and it was okay to read the script and make judgments, maybe he could think of something.

However, Sanders is not wrong, sometimes he can't be too accommodating to Frederick, so Sean didn't bite when he said that, and Galen, who had clashed with his agent, was next to him and would be optimistic about him.

Two days later, the 57th Golden Globe Awards ceremony arrived, but it was more appropriate to have an awards banquet than an awards ceremony. That's the style of the Golden Globes, and it's been the case for decades, at the Hilton in Beverly Hills or the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, where guests are invited to give awards over a meal.

Naturally, it can't be compared with the Oscars, no matter the scale or popularity, but there are still many well-known figures, even if they know very well that the fairness of this award will be greatly reduced, who makes the votes all journalists?

Sean naturally will not be absent, not only that, Frederick also suggested that it is best not to leave behind any of the award ceremonies during this time. Basically, the first 2 to 3 months of the year is what people call awards season, and all kinds of awards are presented in a short period of time, such as the Teen Choice Award, the Independent Spirit Award, the Directors Guild Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award, and the various Film Critics Guild Awards, etc., which is dazzling.

"As long as you have a nomination, then you have to attend the awards ceremony, even like the Screen Actors Guild Awards, even if there is no nomination, as long as the film has a shortlist, you better attend. Hollywood also pays attention to seniority and seniority, even more than other places, if you feel that you have been wronged, like Leonardo, the Oscar does not give nominations and refuses to participate, then congratulations, you want to be nominated in the future and work twice as hard as others. That's what Frederick said, and he always told Sean what to pay attention to in Hollywood.

Nagging guy, but Sean also knows that he is for his own good, so before participating in the Golden Globe Awards, he has been to many award ceremonies, such as the Writers Guild Award or the Directors Guild Awards, of course, none of them have been caught.

"So, I don't really have much confidence today, and it's good to have a nomination." Outside the Hilton Hotel, facing the reporters who were standing around taking pictures, Sean, who was dressed in formal clothes, said to Jude, who he hadn't seen for a while, "It's you, who have a good chance of winning the supporting actor." ”

"How is that possible," Jude shook his head, "I knew as soon as I saw the list of winners, that I must be out of luck, and that you might be able to do a miracle again, young man." ”

"Are you sure you want to use that title, are you sure it doesn't make you look old?" Sean asked teasingly.

"That's great, 30 years old is the golden age of actors." Jude gave him such an answer.

Both of them couldn't help laughing, with a little helplessness, they both knew that even if they were nominated, they were largely just running along.

"Don't say those frustrating words, it's not time to present the awards," Frederick said, who came over to say hello to Jude, "Let's go inside, this is not the Oscars, there is no need to worry too much with reporters, and it is getting late." ”

Well, it's already 7:30, it's already dark, just let the reporters take a few photos, and there is no need to answer questions, and there are a lot of people coming here, just a few minutes ago, Alec? Baldwin and his wife Kim? Basinger went in and brought up a large flash of light, and the reporters didn't necessarily have the energy to focus on Sean and Jude.

The three of them entered the Hilton Hotel like this, and after asking the reporters inside to take pictures in front of the sign, they went to the hall under the HFPA package under the guidance of the waiter, and then sat down in their seats.

The hall was beautifully decorated, ornate, and quite spacious, and Sean couldn't count the number of tables for a while, and many people were already sitting in their seats, whispering to friends or acquaintances.

Although I have participated in several award ceremonies before, they are all in a theater or other place, and some people go up to receive the awards and applaud, and then come out to a specific place to take pictures of reporters, which is the first time that a banquet like the Golden Globes has been held. Frankly, the Golden Globes outperform the union awards, both in terms of grandeur and celebrity support, and those who come — especially newcomers like Sean — can't help but feel like they're at a White House dinner. That's it for a Golden Globe Awards, and I don't know what the scene will be like when it will be the Oscars in more than a month.

Sean didn't expect to be nominated for an Oscar at all, although similar thoughts occasionally popped up, and he now expects "The Talented Ripley" to get a few more nominations, and then get a few tickets from Miramax, and take Galen and Sanders to the awards ceremony to make up for today's regrets.

Although the Golden Globes allow female companions and agents, Galen is not among them, so only Sean and Frederick are here today. He also planned to invite Naomi to attend with him, but she politely refused, not knowing Weishenme, and always felt that Naomi was a little avoiding him during this time.

However, Sean soon found out that it was lucky that Naomi did not come, because the nominated crew members were all sitting together, so soon Hoffman, Gwyneth, Minghella and Weinstein all came in to sit for a long time, and Weinstein pulled him to praise him again.

And then, Kate? Blanchett also came, and in the last way Sean wanted to see her, she actually brought her husband!

Sean was very unhappy, very unhappy, he didn't know that this was weishenme, it stands to reason that he should be ashamed, maybe Kate did this as a statement, but he still couldn't contain his unhappiness.

Of course, no matter how his heart fluctuated, Sean still controlled himself and didn't show it, just said hello to Kate and didn't speak again. Kate was the same, after sitting down, she talked to many people happily, but she didn't even mean to look at him more, Sean's hand under the table couldn't help but squeeze, and a strong unwillingness immediately came out.
