"Don't talk, don't talk, I know what you want to lose, Fred, I admit I was wrong, OK?" The moment Frederick opened his mouth, Sean raised a hand and said.

The bright sun shines on the grass, the few trees in the distance appear lush, the calm, not a trace of waves on the surface of the lake reflects the beautiful scenery, and the breath of spring is blowing in the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Hey, I haven't said anything yet." The agent spread out his hand and made a puzzled look, but when he saw the smugness between his eyebrows, he knew that it was pretended.

"You really think I can't see anything." Sean immediately gave him a blank look.

"That's right, if he doesn't care, then he won't be Wild Fred." Sanders teased beside him.

"Wild Fred? When did he get such a nickname? Galen sang and sang on the side.

"Just now, I used to describe it as manic, but it might be a bit rude, so I changed the word." Sanders said seriously.

Frederick immediately folded his arms and glared at the two guys, raising his eyebrows and looking angry, but did not speak, as if he wanted to see how far they were talking.

Sean then smiled and played a round: "Okay, anyway, Fred is right this time, although I can't ignore the actor's work, but I do pay too much attention to other aspects, so once there is no film work, this aspect of popularity will be left far behind." ”

"You finally understand my hard work, Sean, this makes me so happy, don't worry, it's still too late to catch up, I'm sure everyone will change their minds when "Sniper Phone Booth" is released." Frederick pretended to exaggerate and hugged him lightly.

"Fox hasn't decided on the release date of 'Sniper Phone Booth' yet, Fred." Sanders said immediately.

"It's okay, there's Fast and Furious, there's Perfect Thief......" Frederick paused at this point, grinning as if he had thought of something, and then immediately recovered, "Of course, it would be better if he could play the leading role in a big-budget high-grossing movie." ”

His eyes flickered a little, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, which seemed to be a good thing.

Although Sean noticed, he didn't think much about it, and just asked, "Well, what do you have to recommend?" ”

"Unfortunately, I don't have any one to recommend." The agent unexpectedly spread his hands.

"No?" Sean was surprised, how could this be?!

"Well, there's one worth fighting for, but I'm not very optimistic." Frederick immediately changed his tune.

"So do you have it, and you don't?" Sanders didn't miss a single opportunity to tease him.

Frederick was not fooled, just looked at Sean: "Although the investment is over 100 million, the producer is still the famous Jerry Bruckheimer, and there has been a lot of movement in a few days, when they solicit supporting roles, the uglier the better, but this is a pirate movie after all." ”

"Pirate movies?" Sean raised an eyebrow, if he wanted to say the most famous pirate movie of the new century, he remembered a series, if nothing else, it should be this.

"Yes, it's called Pirates of the Caribbean, and it's said that there's a subtitle, but I haven't thought of it yet." Frederick shrugged, "You know, pirate-related movies are rarely popular in Hollywood, and 'Cut Throat Island' a few years ago made MGM's already poor financial situation even worse. ”

"But that sounds good, Bruckheimer is the producer." Sean rubbed his chin and said this.

"What, you're optimistic about this movie?" Frederick sensed something and asked, "I have to warn you, Sean, unless "Fast and Furious" and "Sniper Phone Booth" can both grossing over 100 million at the North American box office, don't try this kind of script with too much uncertainty, even if you like the movie." ”

"Really?" Sean looked at him with some amusement, "When did you start to become conservative, Fred?" ”

"I'm serious, Sean, if it weren't for the success of My Grand Greek Wedding and the popularity of YouRaiseMeUp, I wouldn't hesitate to go for you if you really wanted it. But now the situation is different, you have to really think of the actor as the home, and the pirate genre movie should not be touched for the time being, even if there is a famous producer in charge. Frederick said very seriously.

Sean chuckled, muttered for a few seconds, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Fred, I'm not going, I'm not interested in this role, even if I do have a good idea of the film's prospects." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly in his heart, and now he really has to give up this opportunity completely. Although Sean had sworn before that he would not consider competing for the role of "Pirates of the Caribbean", after hearing the news of the film project, he still felt a little moved.

In any case, Captain Jack Sparrow is a classic character, and if he can successfully perform the charm of the character, he will definitely leave a heavy mark in film history.

It's not a difficult thing, the role makes an actor, without Johnny Depp, Sparrow is not Sparrow, this idea is only believed by ordinary people. In the final analysis, this role is nothing more than orchid fingers, sissy, neuroticism, plus the makeup artist and prop master are just right, impressive smoky makeup, which is not too difficult for any actor with accumulation.

But the question is, what does Sean want, a popular superstar with huge commercial value, who can ask a big studio for 50 million yuan, and the other party has to greet him with a smile? Or is it an artist who is well-connected, has a good reputation, and is praised by everyone and respected?

Some people may say, Weishenme can't do both at the same time? That's the goal of a person who achieves great things. Yes, it's a real challenge, for Sean to do the best he can be, but which is the point? Which one is the first to do it? The first or the second?

Don't say anything to do it together, greed will only chew it out, and in the end neither path will work. So, which of the two roads is simpler? There is no doubt that the first one, although it has great ups and downs, is indeed simple.

To discover your commercial value, all you need to do is play the lead role in a blockbuster movie and gain the audience's approval that you are the best person for the role. Of course, if the commercial film starred in loses money, and the loss is severe, the commercial value will fall at an unexpected rate.

It is much more difficult to become an artist, whether an actor has acting skills or not, after all, is a very subjective thing, the same performance, in the eyes of some people is an excellent performance, but in the eyes of some people it is a pretentious gesture.

However, not everyone has the ability to think independently, and many more are willing to believe in the standard, that is, that is the opinion of the film school judges, that is, the Academy Awards.

It is undeniable that with Hollywood's all-shijie conquest, the Oscars have received far more attention than other film awards, as if as long as they are affirmed by the Oscars, they will be affirmed by all shijies, even if this award is basically aimed at American films.

And if you want to win the Oscar, nomination depends on strength, and winning awards depends on luck, Americans are easier than foreigners, and it is easier to know public relations than not to publicize. But even so, some people are nominated several times in their lives but none of them win awards, and some people can get to the throne for the first time, so the Oscar statuette is something that every actor aspires to, so ...... Sean chose this path.

There was a saying in the previous life, it is not easy to be easy before it is difficult, and it is not difficult to be difficult after it is easy. As mentioned above, it is not difficult to fully explore your commercial value, and the commercial value is very unstable, if it is just to get a higher salary, after owning Google shares and growing your own production company, Sean does not need this at all.

As for proving one's ability and worth, honors are undoubtedly more practical than high-grossing films, especially when there is no shortage of money. What's more, looking at the Oscar winners for Best Actor, which one became the actor after playing a blockbuster series of commercial blockbusters?

Even the "Godfather" series is not a real commercial series production, and Al Pacino, who should have won the actor a long time ago, struggled until the early 90s, winning the award at the "advanced age" of his early 50s, almost ten years later than his old rival Robert De Niro.

Sean doesn't have that much time to waste, and he doesn't plan to waste that many years, and although there are still many problems to solve, his ambition is not just to win a prize.

Therefore, even though there was such a big temptation in front of him, and Sean was really moved, he still chose to give up. Sometimes that's the case, only by learning to give up can you get more later.

But when "Pirates of the Caribbean" comes out, Frederick might be sad for a few more days, so that's not about Sean - well, just talking, if that were the case, Sean wouldn't have said things like "I'm really not interested in this character."

Anyway, he is still very competent as an agent, if he can, he won't hit him, and if he can squeeze him as much as possible, he will squeeze him as much as possible.

"Hey, how long are you going to stay there, it's already teeing off." While Sean was talking, a man with a hat, a gray-and-blue shirt and trousers, and a golf club walked over.

"I told you, Mark, I don't know how to golf, you have to come with me, do you want to see how I make a fool of myself?" Sean spread his hands out at the other.

"If that's what you're going to think, then forget it." Mark Wahlberg Haha laughed.

"You guy......" Sean immediately rolled his eyes.

"I thought, if you can make a movie and sell it and release a song and be very popular, then you can definitely get good results if you play golf, right?" Wahlberg said in a sly manner, and then after a few seconds, he got up.

"I knew ......" Sean raised an eyebrow, then smiled evilly at the thought of something, "Hey, Mark, you owe me a movie." ”
