This guy is really ...... Sean couldn't think of any words to describe Frederick for a while, but although he racked his brains to do everything for himself, he was also thinking about him. Plus, I feel that this movie, this horror movie called "The Grim Reaper is Coming", should be pretty good.

Yes, just like the previous "The Genius Ripley", his instinct told him that this movie may not be comparable to those big productions, but it is indeed very characteristic, and it should not fail.

Well, in that case, I agreed...... Wait a minute! Sean raised an eyebrow, he had almost forgotten what he was here for, but it was a good opportunity.

Frederick, who had been watching him closely, was about to smile, but when he saw his expression change, he had to tense his face again.

"How's it going, Sean?" The broker asked cautiously.

"There's only one script to choose from?" With a decision in his heart, Sean immediately pretended to frown.

"Trust me, Sean, this is the script I can find at the moment, the most haode and the most suitable for you right now." Frederick maintained that earnest tone, with a bit of reassurance.

Indeed, although he has just completed the filming of "The Talented Ripley", the previous Minghella bold use of new actors as the leading actor has only caused a certain amount of discussion in Hollywood circles, and the media and the public are basically ignorant of it. Therefore, before that movie is released and successful, the roles that can be taken can only be selected from movies of this type and cost.

"I've already negotiated with them, I just need to go over together, meet with the director and producer, and then I can sign the contract." He continued.

"Oh?" Sean was a little surprised.

"I told them about you, highlighted Minghella's affection for you, and showed them the tape of your audition, which they thought was a good fit," Frederick explained, but with a little dodgy eyes, "Of course, you still have to say you're 23, which is nothing, there are more actors playing high school students at this age." ”

"More than that, Fred?" Sean narrowed his eyes and said for a long time.

"Hmm......" the agent smacked his lips, and finally told the truth, "Another point, you are cheaper, I only need a salary of 800,000, so that they have more funds to invite Catherine?" Haigl plays the heroine. ”

"800,000 salary? Wow, that's pretty good, it's 2 more than Ripley the Genius. 5 times," Sean pursed, then a little curious, "Catherine? Who is Haigl? ”

"A well-known young actress, only two years older than your actual age," Frederick recalls, "She started modeling at the age of nine, got her first film role at the age of 14, played the lead role in a comedy film at the age of 16, and starred in "The Ghost Bride" last year, which did well at the box office, so the producers wanted to invite her to be the lead actress." Originally, they wanted to invite Toby? Maguire and Kirsten? Dunst played the male and female leads, but they both refused, and then they thought of Catherine, who although she thought the script was good, but the asking price was relatively high, and at this time I took advantage of the situation and got it. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his tone: "You know what, Catherine? Haigl is quite a sexy girl. ”

Sean, who was still a little moved just now, immediately gave him a roll of his eyes, and in just a few words, this guy showed his true colors.

So he immediately asked: "Aren't you worried that I'm being branded as the hero of a horror movie?" ”

"It's just a horror movie," Frederick waved his hand hurriedly, "and many well-known actors will also take on this kind of role, such as the actor Jeffrey the year before?" Rush, he has a low-cost horror film coming out this year. ”

"But he was already an actor before that." Sean touched his chin.

"Anthony? Hopkins and Judy? Foster has also acted in horror films, and both won the Oscar for Best Actor and Actress. Frederick looked at him depressedly.

"'The Silence of the Lambs' is the standard thriller." Sean continued to touch his chin.

"But you still have 'The Genius Ripley' coming out." The agent gritted his teeth a little.

"But no one knows what the result of the release will be." Sean spread his hands.

“…… Okay, Sean, just say it, what do you need me to do? After looking at him for a long time, Frederickla suddenly raised his hands, leaned back in his chair, and made a relaxed appearance, which surprised Sean again.

"I know, you must have something in mind, it's okay, tell me," the agent snorted, "as long as you don't forget what you promised me in the first place." ”

Well, the time spent with each other is not too short, he is familiar with Frederick, why not Frederick?

"Listen to me, Fred," Sean said bluntly, "I've taken the role, and if I really just have to meet in the past, I can sign it." ”

Then, when the agent breathed a sigh of relief, he said, "Do you know the Lord of the Rings movie, Fred?" ”――

"Another troublesome thing, he can't be a little ...... Similar to the idea of an ordinary actor? Can't you just not jump out of it? Frederick, whose fingers were tapping around on the desk, looked at the information displayed on the computer screen, and held his cheeks to make a toothache.

He has also heard about this film, or series of films, based on Tolkien's novel, and as an agent, being well-informed is a necessary skill. Even so, after Sean mentioned it, he still recalled it for a moment before finding it out of his memory, but as you can imagine, he was not prepared at all.

In this case, he didn't agree or not, but Sean, who saw this, didn't give him a chance to think about it, and dropped the two sentences "I have agreed to your request, you should also agree to mine" and "I don't ask for much, as long as there is a character that can impress the audience", and quickly ran away.

When Frederick found the relevant information and looked at it, he immediately felt the urge to hit the wall and drag Sean back to bite twice. First of all, the fat man of the director and producer, Peter, who came to Hollywood from New Zealand and has produced two B-grade films? Jackson, an avid Tolkien book fan, had put the trilogy on the table two years earlier.

At first, Miramax was interested in investing, and the two sides reached an agreement, but Miramax then regretted it and planned to make the trilogy into two parts. Jackson naturally didn't do it, so he tried his best to find other investments, Zuihou didn't know what was going on, and impressed Robert, the president of the new line? Shay, so Shay raised nearly $300 million for him to use to build the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

As soon as James? Cameron spent 200 million to build a big ship that brought a box office of 1.8 billion, which has always kicked off a big investment, but it is still quite a shocking thing to take out so much at once to make a series of movies, or the film version of a fantasy epic novel that has a huge impact in the West, and Frederick only knew about this series of movies because of this.

But he, like most Hollywood producers and agents, didn't pay too much attention to it, not to mention the difficulty of shooting, there had never been such a large-scale fantasy movie before. Although it is the same as the fable of the salesman who buys shoes, seizing the opportunity to open up new markets can make money, but at the same time, there is also a huge risk, and not everyone is Cameron.

In addition, Frederick always feels that playing a role in such a movie is not too beneficial to the actor, if the other party can really shoot the feeling in the book, then the audience is more to watch the scene and the story, unless there are special circumstances, the actor's personal charm will be reduced a lot.

If he could have predicted the future, he would definitely applaud his vision, and although "The Lord of the Rings" was released a few years later and was well received, the main actors who played those classic roles in it, except for a few lucky two or three lucky ones, the others were all kinds of difficulties in their careers.

"I really don't understand, are you optimistic about this series of movies?" Looking at the list of actors considered by the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", Frederick always felt unreliable.

For example, Aragorn, who can be regarded as one of the leading actors, is they actually looking for Fan? Diesel auditioned and invited Daniel? Day-Lewis twice, and also considered Russell? Chloe - Not surprisingly, both of them were rejected.

And then, Bruce? Willis expressed interest in the role of Boromir, while Helena Burr? Writing brush? Carter wanted to try the role of elf princess, but was rejected by the crew.

In short, many roles have only now been decided, and it was the British actor Steward who got Aragon? Townsendson, although most of the others have been chosen, but not entirely certain, because some of the characters have several names after them, and most of them are newcomers, such as Elijah? Wood. Therefore, if Sean wants to fight for it, he is not without a chance.

It's just that the biggest problem, and Frederick's most depressed place, is that the film is about to start filming, and "Death is Coming" is also scheduled to start shooting in three or four months. If there are roles in these two movies, the schedule is likely to conflict, not to mention that there is a later stage of "The Genius Ripley" to pay attention to.

"Genius, you're really different." Frederick scolded, half-complaining, half-teasing.

Despite this, he began to think about how to contact the new line and the "Lord of the Rings" crew, and if Sean thought the same as ordinary people, he would not be in this situation. If it weren't for his kind of hard work when he decided, and his spirit of persisting and not admitting defeat, would they still be able to create miracles?

The agent also believes that Sean should make the right decision once the schedule conflicts. Although he adheres to his beliefs, he is not a fool who does not know the importance and does not know how to be flexible, and he still has the credit he deserves.

"Okay, let me think about how I'm going to get in touch with them." Frederick sighed and began to think.

If you think about it, he doesn't seem to have much connection with the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", what the hell...... Wait a minute! He suddenly thought of something, pulled out the information of "The Grim Reaper", flipped through the two pages and patted his head, such a simple thing, he would actually forget, it was really undeserved!

It's very simple, "The Lord of the Rings" was invested and filmed by New Line Pictures, and "The Grim Reaper is Coming" was also filmed by New Line Pictures, which is really a coincidence.
