At some point, Frederick came to the door of Anna's office, leaning against the glass door with his arms crossed, looking quite unhappy.

"Sean told me that 'The Talented Ripley' would be a great movie, and I didn't believe it, but the fact of Zuihou proved me wrong." He said so, and walked in.

"Any idea what your problem is, Anna?" Frederick walked to the desk and pointed around, "When you start sitting in this office, you have unconsciously become conservative, you don't dare to fight hard, you don't dare to try your best to gamble, you just want to keep your current performance." ”

It's a very rare scene, they have met a few times before, and none of them have not been-for-tat, but at this moment, although Frederick said it politely, he was very serious, and there was no doubt that they had a leg.

"I don't think I need your guidance on how to do things, Fred. Frankly speaking, if you hadn't happened to run into Sean, if it weren't for Sean's persistence, you wouldn't be where you are now. Anna was equally unkind, and she didn't have the aggressive flavor of her past.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she closed her mouth, and a depressed look flashed across her face, which in a sense was a commentary on Frederick's first sentence.

Frederick didn't speak, just stood there with his arms crossed and waited, and after more than ten minutes, Anna sighed and looked at Sean: "Okay, I'll contact Lynch, let Naomi contact as soon as possible." However, if it doesn't work, it can only be said that it is a pity, and it is better not to conflict with the schedule of "The Lord of the Rings". ”

Speaking of which, Sean is not easy to speak again, although he would like to say that even if there is a conflict, he must squeeze out time.

"Xiexie you, Anna, so be it." Sean nodded, gave Frederick a look, and walked out of the office.

After going out, after walking some distance, he turned back again: "What are you doing here, Fred?" ”

"Of course, it's to watch you, lest someone take you the path you shouldn't take." The agent said in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone.

"So, you're treating me like a personal item?" Sean half-jokingly stabbed him.

"Don't say that, Sean, you know, you're my client, and there's no agent who doesn't care about his clients." Frederick explained, and then put on a look of grievance, "You should say hello to me before you come, such as sending a text message or something, so that I can cooperate with what you want to do." ”

Thinking of his previous performance, Sean couldn't think about it anymore: "Okay, but you're coming pretty fast." ”

"Of course, whatever happens here, I'll be the first to know." The agent first raised his eyebrows proudly, but immediately confessed: "Okay, I saw Galen and Sanders, especially Sanders, that frivolous appearance is really impressive." ”

"Shouldn't it be Galen? I thought his oriental appearance was more recognizable. Also, don't speak ill of them in front of me, Fred, they're all my friends, my brothers. Sean said half-warningly.

"Okay, let's not say it - Galen may be on the Eastern side, but unfortunately I have face blindness to Asians, and I can tell the difference between Bruce now? Lee and Jack? Old. Frederick shrugged, "Okay, let's talk about the next auditions, just in time for you to be free." ”

After the Golden Globes, as Frederick expected, while most of the media focused on the winners, there were also some reporters who focused on Sean as a rising star.

"The 57th Golden Globe Awards have come to an end, and "American Beauty" unsurprisingly won Best Director and Best Film, but some people are happy and some are disappointed, as the most watched newcomer during this time, Sean? Don was like two people before the end of the awards dinner and before ......it began," the New York Post reporter wrote, along with two pictures.

One is the standard photo of the meeting before the dinner starts, standing in front of a billboard with the Golden Globe logo, smiling; And the other is after the dinner, Sean came out of the hotel, waving his hand as if to block the camera. With such a comparison, the credibility of the report naturally increased, although Sean was sweeping the hair on his forehead when he took the photo.

I have to say that these guys are very good at grasping angles, and although other media have reported this, they don't want them to be so malicious, it seems that the New York Post is really on the bar with Sean.

But in any case, Frederick's goal was achieved, and after the Golden Globe Awards, there were paper media reports - online media has not yet reached the time of maturity, although there are films such as "Blair the Witch" that have succeeded with online hype, but paper media is more authoritative and well-known.

In this way, coupled with the recommendation of the casting director, Sean successfully participated in the next round of auditions for "Pearl Harbor". It's interesting to say, from his debut to the present, except for the first audition, all other auditions have ...... Not very formal.

"Everybody Loves Raymond" happened to meet Reese who needed an actor who could speak Italian; "Friends" was recommended by Reese who did not admit defeat; "The Genius Ripley" was created by Minghella trying to put pressure on Miramax; "The Grim Reaper is Coming" was recommended by the agent, and then the director and producer made the decision directly; "The Lord of the Rings" is with Peter? Jackson got it in exchange for it; "Breaking Bad" is Drew and Cameron playing a game; "Pearl Harbor" is a little more formal, but it was also inserted after the second round.

"Is that an exceptionalism?" While driving to the audition location, Sean asked his best friend a little jokingly after talking about the above once.

"Of course, you're always so good, we wouldn't have been able to get Galen's father easily if we didn't have you in 8th grade, and in 11th grade, we wouldn't have been able to win against Fils in high school, and if you were the exception, it would have been the exception." Saunders Daxiao.

Galen, who drove the car, was just: "It would be better if it wasn't so far-fetched." ”

Well, from here you can see the difference in their personalities, Sanders has always said something, and there is absolutely no ambiguity in showing off. Galen is a little reserved, always quietly reminding not to be too arrogant when encountering this kind of topic, and at the same time a little tactful.

Anyway, it's nice to have them around to help, and I don't know how Neil is doing now.

The audition for "Pearl Harbor" took place in a two-story building on 56th Street in Burbank, which seems to be dedicated to auditions, after all, Burbank has many studios based here, Disney, Warner, Pixar, and so on.

After saying hello to Galen and Sanders, Sean was escorted by the staff into the lounge, which was a fairly spacious room, simply furnished, with two couches against the wall, a few potted plants around, and then two cabinets and a few chairs. There was another door to the right of the entrance, needless to say, that led to the audition room, and on the couch not far from the door sat a young man who looked to be 25 to 30 years old, looking down at something.

Obviously, he was also here for the audition, and Sean wanted to go over to say hello, but the other party looked at him and then turned his body slightly sideways, so he dismissed this idea, sat down on another sofa, and began to recall the script. The almost 7-page script given by the crew has basically been memorized, and he has also figured out the character of Leif as a character, but it is precisely because of this that he is more and more optimistic about this movie.

Although the script given is not long, and it describes the plot of the life and death of the two male protagonists Zuihou, he still smells a hint of a bloody love triangle. It's really a joke, even if you want to be on par with "Titanic", you don't need to add aiqing elements to war movies, right? When the audience enters the cinema, will they watch the war scenes and the friendship between their comrades-in-arms between blood and fire, or will they watch the messy aiqing drama between two men and one heroine?

As a disaster movie, "Titanic" has a natural aiqing factor in it, but which excellent war movie is aiqing the main line? And it's a bloody love triangle? If "Saving Private Ryan" had an aiqing drama, would it still be liked by so many people? Of course, some people may say that this is just a guess, but Sean, who has a hunch, feels that this is certain.

Just deal with it a little bit. Sean thought to himself. If it weren't for Frederick's efforts, he really didn't want to waste his time, and the more he came into contact with relevant news, the less optimistic he was about the movie.

It does seem to be a bit indulgent to Fred. He thought again. Maybe you should take a moment to find an opportunity to have a good chat with him.

At this moment, the door of the audition room opened, and a man with a smile and energy walked out. It was none other than Ben, who had spoken ill of Sean at Naomi and her friend's party before the release of "The Talented Ripley"? Affleck.

"Everywhere you go, you'll run into nasty guys." After the actor who had been waiting here went in, he said this without hiding his disgust at all.

Sean frowned, he originally planned that if the other party stopped stirring up trouble, he would treat it as if it hadn't happened before, but he didn't expect this guy to be polite, since that's the case, he wants to be polite?

"yes, it's bad luck to see you come out of it." Sean said with a smile, and then said without waiting for him to speak, "It's a shame that I didn't go back to San Francisco." ”

Affleck's face changed immediately, the reason why he used that attitude towards Sean just now, except for what happened to Gwyneth at the beginning, was that the other party not only did not leave in disgrace, but also relied on "Genius Ripley" to be well received, becoming the most watched new star during this time, for Affleck, who had said those words before, it was no less than a slap in the face. Now, when the other party mentions this again, of course he will be annoyed.

Strangely, Affleck didn't say anything bad, his eyes swept back and forth between the door and Sean a few times, and then showed a weird smile: "You came to audition for "Pearl Harbor"? Then good luck. ”
