"The key is the elongated ups and downs, the rhythmic movement seems to have magic, and it will make people writhe with it unconsciously, and the charm of jazz is probably here." Sean searched and described, while Johnson next to him frowned slightly, not knowing whether he was thinking or simply dissatisfied.

"In short, that's my opinion, maybe it's incomplete, maybe even very biased, but it's my opinion." Sean then added.

Johnson was still the same, pinching his chin, as if he was suspecting something, which made the kicking Sean smile bitterly in his heart.

Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, Haha, the head of Los Angeles at Blue Moon Beer, laughed and clapped his hands lightly: "You said it so well, Sean, I have never considered it from this angle, there are few young people as mature as you, no wonder you can have such a good performance in "Ripley the Genius". ”

Hearing these words, Sean, who had been tense and nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then-

"Hell, what the hell are you doing, Fred?!" While Johnson was going to the bathroom, Sean lowered his voice and questioned his agent in annoyance.

"Didn't you say it before? Do everything you can to make him feel good about you, deepen your impression in his mind, and make him change his mind. Frederick said quickly.

"Of course I know, I've been working with you before, from complimenting Blue Moon beer to French lobster to Yellowstone, I've worked well with it, but what's the deal with jazz?" Sean was upset, "I can work with the others, because I do, but I've never heard jazz." If it weren't for the fact that I know how to play guitar and have sung in bars, I wouldn't have been able to say a word just now! Do you know what the consequences will be?! ”

"It's because you know music that I lead the topic like this, don't think I'm a fool, Sean, I'll pick the topic." Frederick said defensively.

"Will pick topics? I was almost speechless just now, and that performance was basically nonsense! Sean was angry, "If it weren't for luck, it would have been debunked a long time ago!" ”

"Yes, I know, but it's working, isn't it?" Frederick sighed, "Don't think about it so much, Sean, since Anna can take advantage of the opportunity of the Blue Moon Headquarters to ask the branch to be more conservative in its actions to lobby Regis, then it is okay for us to be so unscrupulous." ”

Sean rolled his eyes and was about to speak, but Johnson had already returned from the bathroom, and he had to keep his mouth shut. But Johnson, who came back, did not speak again, but sat there quietly, not knowing what to think, Frederick tried to open his mouth several times to liven up the atmosphere, but was stopped by Sean with his eyes.

"I'm glad to meet you today, Sean," he finally spoke after a moment, "I have to admit that it was a pleasant meeting, and you surprised me that there was no such thing as that young man for me...... We didn't talk about contracts, but, as you said before, there are some things that you have to try, and although the headquarters tells us to be careful, I think sometimes it's okay to take a risk, don't you think? ”

"Xiexie, Mr. Johnson." Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

A lot of times it's so strange, obviously I don't care about something at the beginning, and I think it's dispensable. However, once you get into it, or into the role, you will unconsciously forget the original idea and be bent on success.

Just like Sean, after the advertising contract was basically in hand, he realized that he didn't seem to have the idea of getting it before. But he didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, he could earn $800,000 in three or four days of work, and he could still maintain his popularity, and he got it very well, so the important thing now is another thing.

"You look happy and taunted Anna again?" Sean asked after Frederick handed over the contract.

"Weishenme no?" The agent did not deny it, "You know, if she hadn't intervened halfway through the rules, we wouldn't have to find a way to continue to woo Johnson, oh, it's great to see her unwilling appearance." ”

"Is it against the rules to meddle in the middle of the way?" Sean couldn't help but cover his forehead and muttered, followed by a look on his face: "Okay, Fred, come to the living room, I have something to tell you." ”

"Why, you're going to unilaterally give me an extra 1% commission," the agent who came to the living room jokingly asked.

"Of course not," Sean looked at him very seriously, "Fred, you're a great agent, and we've had a good time working together along the way, so I don't want any problems between us." ”

"Yes...... What's wrong? Frederick got serious, too.

"Of course, I want any decision that concerns me to be decided by me and not by you," Sean said word by word, "You can convince me, but you can't decide for me." ”

"I ...... I didn't make a decision for you, did I? Frederick had a look of obvious bewilderment.

"None? Don't talk about forcibly recommending the audition for "Pearl Harbor", and tell Regis without even asking? Johnson, I've got a lot of research on jazz. Sean sighed, "You're making me unhappy like this, Fred." ”

"But......," Frederick pleaded.

"I know what you're trying to say, Fred, and I'll admit that you're thinking about me, but I don't like it this way." Sean interrupted.

The agent scratched his head in annoyance, then looked around at the thought of something, and then locked his eyes on Sanders, who was sitting by the door.

"It's not about Sandy, that's really my opinion." Sean knew what he was thinking, and his tone immediately became sincere, "We worked together in the most difficult times, and I always remember the day when you said you would help me. Fred, promise me that you will try to convince me in the future, instead of deciding things for me. ”

“…… Well, I promise you. Frederick was silent for a few minutes, then let out a long breath.

"Let's talk about something interesting," Galen said without losing a chance to play the round, "I heard Sean say that he used a fabricated jazz review to impress the head of Blue Moon Beer in Los Angeles before signing this advertising contract - will we have free Blue Moon Beer in the future?" ”

"Don't be delusional, if it's an endorsement, there will be free beer this year, but it's just an advertisement, so ......," Frederick thought for a moment, "I'll probably provide a few more cases, and for the sake of Sean being nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, maybe a few more boxes than others." ”

"That's not bad, when we were in the car dealership before, Sean waived the cost of thousands of dollars with a single signature, and there are so many benefits of being a star." Galen laughed.

"Really? How about letting Fred find you a role? Sean immediately quipped.

"No problem, although Galen's image is more oriental, it is not without suitable roles." Frederick was immediate.

"First of all, you have to hire another assistant, I can only be responsible for one person's affairs." Sanders also interjected.

Immediately, several people laughed, and the previously dull atmosphere slowly dissipated, and more and more topics were discussed.

"In other words, even if it is just an Oscar nomination, the value of the star will be higher?" After talking about Sean's nomination, Galen asked.

"That's right, especially since Sean is basically the third youngest nominee, and there hasn't been a nominee under the age of 20 for decades, and that's capital. In addition to Sean's outstanding performance, the Oscar nomination is also one of the important reasons for successfully getting the advertising contract of Blue Moon Beer this time. Frederick nodded.

Then, he remembered something: "By the way, the complete halt of the new line also has a lot to do with this." ”

"The new line is completely stopped? What's the matter? Sean asked curiously.

"Of course, it's the Lord of the Rings bonus contract." The broker spreads his hands.

"Isn't that already done?" Sean was even more strange.

"Yes, but it's not that easy," Frederick shook his head, "it was just a letter of intent when I was in New Zealand, and after I went back to Los Angeles, I went to the new line company several times before it was officially settled, and even then there were still times and back-and-forths, and there were always people who jumped out and said that it was too self-sufficient for a newcomer to want this kind of contract, even if the preconditions were quite harsh." ”

"That weishenme was not brought up at first." Sean asked again.

"So, the two founders of the new line, Robert? Shay is more emotional and adventurous, so he will support Peter Jackson in making the Lord of the Rings trilogy possible. And Michael? Lynn is very sensible and always calculating, so she is against many things, such as supporting the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings", or giving you a bonus contract. Frederick explained.

"In short, my contract was decided by Shay, and then Lynn found out and was dissatisfied, so she wanted to change the contract?" Sean touched his chin, "Okay, this guy is a visionary." ”

"It's pretty much like that, it's mainly the people below arguing, but after the release of "The Talented Ripley", this kind of voice is much quieter within the new line, and after you get an Oscar nomination, it completely calms down, and some people even say that this is a pretty good deal." The agent smiled, "They're probably already thinking about how to hype it up then." ”

Sean grinned, then asked, "By the way, Fred, how much dividends will I get by then?" ”

"When is the time?" Frederick couldn't help but sigh, "It depends on how much the total box office can have, if it can exceed the line stipulated in the contract." ”

"So I'll set the first part...... The total global box office is 800 million," Sean thought for a moment, "How much will you get by then?" ”

"800 million?" The agent raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Let me think about it...... About 1.5 million to 2 million. ”

"1.5 million to 2 million?" Sean suddenly exclaimed, "How can it be so little?!" ”
