"You said I didn't have any problem doing that." Sean, who heard Frederick's complaining tone, teased.

"I didn't say that, it's Sandy, your best friend." The agent hummed.

"But you didn't object." Sean reminded.

"But I'm not in favor either." Frederick immediately retorted.

"Hey, Fred, don't tell you, you want to go back on it." Sean asked, half-jokingly and tentatively.

"How is it possible, Ali personally told me to meet your requirements as much as possible and keep you as much as possible." Frederick was still in that complaining tone, and Sean Hahadaxiao listened to it.

Don't blame Ali either? Emmanuel told Frederick that he must know that the entire creative team of the movie "My Grand Greek Wedding" is recommended by Endeavour Agency, and the habitual term is called packing. In short, if you want to make a movie with the script of a screenwriter contracted by our agency, or use an actor contracted by our agency to play the leading role, then you also need to use the director, set manager, lighting engineer and prop master contracted by our agency.

This set of rules was first established by the founder of CAA, Michael? Ovitz invented it, and thus contributed to the development and growth of CAA, and if you join CAA, you can get more opportunities, and naturally everyone wants to sign with them. After that, various brokerage companies also used this set, so the major film companies began to complain, which made them have a lot of opportunities to lower prices and praise people.

In fact, the package sale is not as godly as some critics have suggested, as if the agency is in control of everything in Hollywood. To a certain extent, the package sale has played a certain positive effect, and many directors and actors, assistant directors, assistant directors, etc. are used to cooperating, and they also know each other's minds, and it is much faster to make movies together.

But because of this, if a director has a very good relationship with an actor, the director must be the actor as the leading actor in his film, and the actor must also cooperate with the director, even if they belong to different brokerage companies, the brokerage company cannot be forcibly packaged, otherwise they will definitely be poached by other brokerage companies.

Of course, the premise is that the director and actors are very well-known figures, and if they don't have the right to speak, then no one cares.

In addition, big studios can also choose to ignore it, after all, it is the role that makes the actor, not the actor who makes the role, without your art direction, the actor can't join the crew, then please, anyway, the actor has, maybe you can find a better guy. Therefore, in front of the big studios, the agent company also packs some second- and third-tier actors, or some cheap and beautiful lighting designers and prop masters.

The real headache is those second-tier, and even independent film production companies, sometimes they really want to say yes, and it's not appropriate not to agree.

Okay, the topic is far away, back to this "My Grand Greek Wedding", because Sean got the script from Endeavour, plus the production company is newly established, the budget is also very low, and he can't afford to hire big names, so the entire production team is simply picked from Endeavour, so Ali They can claim that this movie was created by their Endeavor elite agency.

What kind of brokerage company is the most attractive to clients, has opportunities and has a vision, they can get opportunities, they can get good opportunities. Therefore, for Endeavor who is still developing, the hot sale of "My Grand Greek Wedding", which was completely created by their customers, is a very good way to promote it.

Or Frederick's words, here, in Hollywood, whoever can bring more profit with movies will be more sought after.

"Well, maybe I can find a chance to ask him personally." After laughing, Sean suddenly said this.

"Hey, Sean, I explained it to you." As soon as he heard this, Frederick knew what he wanted to do, and immediately stopped him.

"I know, don't worry, I'm just talking." Sean then sighed, faintly unwilling.

Before this, there was a very good opportunity in front of him, and the world found Brad? Pete, hopefully, will play the lead role in their upcoming film about secret agents in July or August, called "Spy Shadows." Unfortunately, the brainless Pete has already agreed to the invitation for another film, a film that takes place in that country on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, which is also related to espionage.

Just because he has no brains, he refers to the fact that he took over such a stupid movie after "Seven Years in Tibet", which can be regarded as completely blocking his way to land across the Pacific. Of course, then again, who would have predicted that in a decade's time, China would become America's largest source of overseas box office? What's more, there is also Robert, who has the grace of knowing Pitt? Rayford has another starring role.

But Sean didn't care at all, Pete made a choice, and naturally had to bear the consequences that followed, even if he couldn't control the future changes. What Sean cares about is naturally the actor of "Spy Shadows", this movie naturally has an impression in his previous life, if he can get it, it is not a problem to become an A-level actor.

So he quickly informed Frederick, and chatted with the producer of the Universal side of the "Fast and Furious" crew, thinking that he had an Oscar nomination, and also two good works of "The Genius Ripley" and "The Grim Reaper", plus now he has successfully produced a blockbuster movie, and he is also one of the leading actors in Universal's racing movies, even if he can't win 100%, there should always be an opportunity to audition, right?

Frederick thought the same way, and was very happy, because Sean finally took the initiative to fight for the leading actor of a big production. Although he inquired, the budget for this film was only 60 million, but it was based on the famous writer Robert? Based on Ludham's best-selling novel, this is the basis for a big hit.

However, Frederick happily agreed in the morning, but in the afternoon he called Sean dejectedly and told Sean that there was no play.

"Ali promised Whitesell that he would personally win the leading actor in "Spy" for Damon. The agent said very depressedly.

"Wait, Fred, what the hell are you talking about, who is Damon, who is Whitesell, and how did Ali get involved with them?" Sean asked, confused.

Frederick sighed, and then spoke carefully, it turned out that not long ago, the famous agent Patrick? Whitesell moved from CAA to Endeavour and then became the second largest partner. He also brought Ben? Affleck and Matt? Damon, despite the other two agents in his hands, Drew? Barrymore and Jennifer? Aniston didn't follow, but poached a group of teams, including Christian? Bell, Hugh? Jackman and Sean's old acquaintance Jude? Lowe.

Whitesel made it clear to Ali when he joined that he couldn't treat these customers who came with him badly, Ali naturally promised that the new customers must be treated well, otherwise who will be in the future.

And it just so happened that Universal was in contact with several actors, and even considered Stallone, but in the end nothing came of it, and then directed Doug? Liman takes a fancy to Damon, and Damon wants the role, so Ali says that he will personally operate for him and do his best to secure the contract.

"I know what you're trying to say, but Sean, Ali and I are not the same. I'm not afraid of him...... Well, I'll admit it, but it's a fact that he has connections and qualifications that I can't match. So, unless you can get the director and have someone as weighty as he did last time recommending you, there's no hope at all. That's what Frederick Zuihou said, and he said it sincerely.

In this case, Sean had no choice but to give up this plan, but he was reluctant in his heart. Luckily, he soon found another opportunity, and if he could get it right, he wouldn't have to get much less than "Spy", and now he was going to meet the two brothers who could bring it all together.

"Alright, you'd better hurry up, it's almost time." Frederick then said, "If you really want to do something, it's best not to be late." ”

At the end he added, "Take care of yourself, Sean." ”

"Rest assured, my body has always been great." Sean shook his head with a smile and hung up the phone.

"I think Fred is right, you should pay attention to your body," Galen, who was driving the car, said, "I heard that the movie is about to start shooting, so you have to play a role in a three-step movie at the same time, do you really have that much time, Sean?" It seemed like that movie was going to Alaska for on-location shooting. And you're going to the Cannes Film Festival, I don't know what you're thinking, if you were going to bring "My Grand Greek Wedding" to the Cannes Film Festival, you still have a reason to go there, but now you have to go with such a tight schedule......"

"Of course there are important things." Sean said lazily, but refused to spit out a word.

"I know, because Nami's work is going to participate, right?" Galen sighed.

Sean didn't speak, rubbing his nose and didn't seem to plan to continue the topic: "Just like I said to Fred before, don't worry, my role in Ocean's Eleven is almost the same, if I'm lucky, it can be completed in about three days at most, and "Fast and Furious" is only half a month at most, so as long as they delay my role until late June, it's basically fine." ”

"Okay, okay, now that you've arranged it, you can do whatever you want." Galen shook his head and sighed.

After more than ten minutes, they came to a café together, the last time they met Ali? Emmanuel's café. After meeting Frederick here, and after waiting for about five minutes, when the clock on the wall pointed to 4 o'clock, two brothers dressed in civilian clothes who looked somewhat similar entered the café and walked towards them.

Sean stood up for the first time, and without waiting for Frederick's introduction, he directly stretched out his hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Christopher?" Mr. Nolan, and Jonathan Nolan? Mr. ”
