"Well, Fred, or I'll call Todd out now, or we'll go to the production company later, and you can talk to him. Maybe you can come up with a plan to wait for the movie I'm a producer to start shooting in two months, and then tell the reporter about it to promote me, and at the same time promote the movie, right? Sitting at a round table under a parasol, Sean said to his agent.

After Shaun took Galen and Sanders to the café to meet Frederick, they discussed it for about half an hour without any results, so he had to throw the topic up.

"First time as a filmmaker?" Frederick grinned, looking like he was having a toothache, "As an actor, I don't want to fight for more Haode roles, but I run to make movies, or invest 5 million to make a small budget ......"

"That's better than no news at all, right?" At this time, it is usually Sanders who speaks first, "Sean is not without works, and as the most talked-about new star at the beginning of the millennium, he set up his own production company and used his own pre-production to make his first film, this kind of topic will more or less arouse the interest of the media and the public, right?" Or are you not able to hype up the topic? ”

Frederick glared at him for a long time, but Zuihou still sighed: "Okay, I know, I'll communicate with Todd, then...... What's next? ”

Sean and Sanders exchanged glances, and the latter then pulled out a well-bound booklet from the backpack he brought: "Sean thinks this script is not bad, and I think so too." ”

The agent frowned suddenly, took it and flipped through two pages, and looked up at Sean and Saunders suspiciously, and then quickly turned to Zuihou.

"Hell, this is supposed to be a script in my office, how did it end up in your hands?" He screamed when he was sure.

"I went to your office the day before yesterday, but you weren't there, so I flipped through it at random, and I happened to like this script, so I took it over." Sean explained briefly.

"Just take a fancy to it, and take it away...... Wait a minute! Frederick frowned at the thought of something.

"Well, I told Alice not to tell you for the time being, this is what I meant, don't embarrass her." Sean admitted, "I thought the script was interesting, so I wanted to read it in detail, but I also knew that if you did, it would be a fuss again, so ......"

He spread his hands and made a sincere appearance, but this did not satisfy the agent.

"Remember what I told you, Sean?" Frederick gritted his teeth and said, "Don't touch my assistant!" ”

"I didn't touch her, I just said a few words to her, you can't let me not even talk to her, right?" Sean said innocently, "If you're really worried about anything, Fred, what if you don't hire a male assistant?" ”

"Male assistant?" Frederick sneered, "Of course I want to, but, my boss, the great and miserly tyrant, Ali? Emmanuel once had a motto that if you hire a woman as an assistant, after ten years you will only get a mother with a child; And you hire a man as an assistant, and after ten years you get a competitor! ”

"Just like you?" Sean asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He's not qualified to be my competitor right now," a voice came from behind him before the agent could reply, "Also, Fred, do you really think I'm a miserly tyrant?" ”

Frederick immediately bounced up from his seat, and turned his head in disbelief to see that at the small round table behind him, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes was looking at him with interest. He was in his forties, with a somewhat sparse black hair, but the standard hooked nose made it clear to everyone that he was of Jewish descent.

"Ai ...... Mr. Emmanuel, I'm sorry, I don't know...... I didn't know you were here. Frederick, who has always liked to jump up and down, actually became nervous at this moment, and even stammered a little when he spoke, which opened Sean's eyes.

"Relax, Fred, I'm just going out and talking with my friends, I don't have to." The other party raised his eyebrows and said.

"Don't be nervous, Fred, it's not uncommon to get caught behind your back saying bad things about your boss." A tall man sitting with Emmanuel joked with a smile.

"Hello, Mark." Frederick greeted awkwardly.

Emmanuel looked at Sean at this time: "Hello, Sean, I'm Ali?" Emmanuel, one of the founders of Endeavour, is a pleasure to meet you, and believe me, I am definitely not a stingy tyrant. ”

"I don't think so, either." Sean smiled and got up and shook his hand.

"Frankly, even though this is our first official meeting, you have given me a very different feeling," Emmanuel said immediately, "I can't describe more than that, but what Fred said about you before should be believable, no wonder it works wonders." ”

"Xiexie, Mr. Emmanuel." Being so praised by the owner of a brokerage company, Sean still feels somewhat flattered.

But. The other party's next sentence made him feel the urge to roll his eyes: "Are you interested in letting me act as your agent?" ”

Frederick's eyes widened as he watched wide, and the nervous look that had just disappeared returned to his face again, and then he looked at Sean uneasily.

"Xiexie's kindness, Mr. Emmanuel, I think Fred is a competent agent, and we get along like a family despite our frequent arguments." Sean smiled and said, "So, it's a pity. ”

Emmanuel immediately laughed, obviously, he was scaring Frederick by saying that just now, and Rao was still relieved.

However, to say that Emmanuel doesn't mean anything like this, not necessarily, Sean is still more or less aware, and Ali? Emmanuel is indeed very charming, and when he looks you in the eye, it seems that what he says is sincere, and you can't help but want to believe him.

If it weren't for the fact that Sean and Frederick worked together quite happily, and they also came all the way from the lowest time, maybe they would really consider each other, after all, in addition to charm, Emmanuel's ability is also one of the best.

Even though he hasn't been here for a long time, Sean has heard a lot of rumors about him, for example, with the founder of CAA, Michael? Ovitz, Ron? Meyer and others work in the mailroom of the WMA, Ali? Emmanuel also started out working in CAA's mailroom. After that, he became an agent for ICM and did a great job, and in the 90s, when Ovitz and Meyer moved to Disney and Universal respectively, which led to the loss of the CAA group, ICM took the opportunity to poach several of their important clients, which was the hand of Emmanuel.

However, as with all personnel changes in companies, the originally complacent Emmanuel felt that he deserved his rightful place in ICM, but CEO Marvin? Josephson and several senior executives disagreed. So Emmanuel wanted to get his own door and pull a group of people out of ICM, but because of the leak, only three friends left together at his instigation and leadership, and Hollywood called this infighting a midnight coup.

After that, Emmanuel founded Endeavour Elite in '96 and brought in three partners from CAA the following year, along with Adam? Sandler is a comedy star, so he quickly gained a foothold. Today, although it has only been four years, everyone knows that Endeavour elite agency will have its own seat in Hollywood sooner or later as long as there is no infighting.

"Then it's time for big development, so it's definitely the right thing to do with us, and we're trying to meet every request of our customers." Sitting at the two tables that had been put together, Emmanuel said with an uplifted look, as if nothing could stump him.

"Really? Who was telling me just now, oh, don't think about that character, Mark, that's impossible. Sitting next to him, the tall man who had been chatting with him over coffee before, asked in a questioning tone.

"I told you, Mark, that role isn't for you, you're the kind of muscular man you have now, and it doesn't matter what kind of role you have. And even in "Unruly Night", you are a decadent man, not a little white face who eats soft rice. Emmanuel raised an eyebrow, then looked at Sean, "What do you think, Sean?" ”

"I think Ali is right," Sean nodded, who couldn't hold back his laughter, "You can play a good family man with a character, you can play a rough, sweary policeman, you can play a decadent and unruly adult actor, you can play a clever special agent, but you can't connect with the little white face at all." ”

"Okay, I won't say anything, it's just about the contrast effect or something." The other party rolled his eyes and said, "It's so disappointing." ”

Mark? Wahlberg, this is the man who was with Emmanuel and coffee, 29 years old this year, has stepped into the entertainment industry since 94, and has starred in 8 movies so far, and also starred in "The Edge of Battle" with Zhou Yunfa last year, and the previously mentioned "Unruly Night" is his famous work.

After teasing Frederick, Emmanuel did not return to his place, but beckoned the waiter to come and put the two tables together, and then called Wahlberg, who was chatting with him, to come over and chat.

As a result, Sean and the others had to put their previous discussion on hold for the time being, which was somewhat frustrating, after all, they hadn't sent out an invitation, and Frederick had been nervous.

But Emmanuel's humorous gesture quickly turned their senses around, after all, as a successful agent, being able to speak is the most basic skill, and being able to read words and colors is a necessary skill, and being able to see what people say and make the other party not aware of it is the top level. So the two sides got along very happily, and even Frederick completely relaxed, and from time to time gave his boss a few words of help.
