"Well, that's all for today, it's a pleasure to meet you, Sean." The producer, who was sitting on the single sofa, tapped on the armrest lightly and then stood up, and it was clear from the smile on his face that he was happy with the meeting.

"Me too, Mr. Walsh, it's a pleasure to talk to you." Sean also stood up, shook hands with the other party, and then turned to the Chinese who was sitting with him, "And you, Mr. Director." ”

"You've surprised me a lot, Sean, and I think we'll have a great time working together." The other party said very seriously, he looked about forty years old, with eyes, a somewhat round face, like most Chinese Americans, and a very gentle temperament.

"Me too, I'm already looking forward to the movie." Sean smiled and shook his hand as well.

"It was a great meeting, and if all the film negotiations were like ours, there would be no disputes." Frederick stood up without losing a chance and said in an exaggerated tone.

"Alright, Fred, put away your meaty words, that will only disgust me." Walsh said this, but more of a joke.

Sean and the director then left the office first, followed by Frederick and Walsh leaving in the opposite direction.

"It's yours," Wash said to the office, handing Frederick the contract to prepare, "The crew is still filming everywhere, so it's tentatively scheduled to start shooting in late August." ”

"No problem, let me know if there's a change." Frederick, who looked through it, nodded.

"I have to say, Fred, you have a good eye, this young man makes a good impression," Walsh complimented, "no wonder Anthony?" Minghella picks. ”

Then, suddenly, he asked, "Did you follow up on his movie?" ”

"Don't worry, Jackson," Frederick raised an eyebrow, "at most by the end of the year, you'll see his popularity go up like a rocket." ”

Being able to get this role without Sean appearing depends on the influence of the unfinished film "The Genius Ripley", think about it, the actor who plays the leading role is an actor who shines in a drama film with a good reputation and box office, and what a publicity role this will play for a low-budget horror film.

Of course, the movie hasn't been released yet, and it's hard to say that you'll get the desired result, but it's worth the producer's gamble, isn't it? has been said before, making movies is actually no different from gambling, "The Genius Ripley" may succeed or fail, but if it is really a good word of mouth and box office harvest, will Sean still take this kind of role? And failed...... That's fine.

"By the way, I heard that "The Lord of the Rings" invested by New Line is about to start filming, right?" Frederick, who was about to leave, made a look like he was thinking of something and asked, "But it seems that the characters haven't been completely decided yet, right?" ”

"Yes, I don't know what Robert was thinking, but he actually gave it to Peter? Jackson operates, that guy is just a B-movie director at all, "Jackson? Walsh grumbled, then looked at Frederick, "What are you thinking, Fred?" ”

"I thought, if it's the right fit, maybe I can recommend a couple of people to come over." Frederick said bluntly.

"Then you'll have to contact the crew." Walsh waved his hand, looking like he had nothing to do with him.

"Come on, Jackson, don't think I don't know, you recommended Liv? Taylor starred as an elf princess. Frederick smiled, "How about doing me a favor?" ”

"Who are you going to recommend? Sean? Walsh asked rhetorically.

"Not necessarily, but it's okay to have the right one, I heard that the filming time may be very long, as long as it doesn't conflict with "The Grim Reaper." Frederick raised his hands, well prepared—

"Hey, how's it going, Fred? I've done what I'm supposed to do, what about you? As soon as the agent came out of the house, Sean, who was waiting outside, began to ask questions.

"Really? And James? How is Huang chatting? Frederick did not answer, but asked about him and the director.

"It's not bad, I like this guy, we had a great chat and exchanged a lot of opinions about the movie. The most interesting thing is that I didn't expect him to understand a little Chinese, but he couldn't speak it at all. Sean said with a smile.

"That's good, the crew is tentatively scheduled to start filming at the end of August, and if there is a change, we will notify you as soon as possible, and I will notify you as soon as possible." Frederick patted him on the shoulder, "What's next, don't you need me to remind you?" ”

"No, you don't." Sean rolled his eyes, "It's almost three months, enough time for me to think about it slowly." However, speaking of which, there seems to be something wrong with the script, and the depictions of the deaths of some people, well, are mostly brushed off. ”

"I've asked them, and I'm worried, but it's not all done yet." The broker makes a gesture that understands them.

"Not all yet?" Sean opened his mouth, "Well, I just hope there isn't a situation where you're revising the script while you're shooting." ”

"No, don't worry, definitely not." Frederick said it without sincerity.

Sean is too lazy to bother with this for the time being: "Then ......"

"You're so optimistic about the movie version of The Lord of the Rings?" The agent couldn't help but ask the question he had been thinking about for a few days.

"Of course, I'm pretty sure, because ......" Sean smiled and pointed his index finger at his head and eyes, "it's intuition, understand?" ”

"Hell, I shouldn't have asked you this ......" Frederick made a look of headache, then raised a hand before he could speak, "I've already told Walsh that I'll be with Peter soon?" Jackson meets. ”

"Do you need me along?" Sean immediately asked.

"No, I can do "The Grim Reaper" alone, and I can also do "The Lord of the Rings" by myself." The agent waved his hand arrogantly.

As a result, when he came out of Wellington International Airport alone, he was blown by the cold wind and immediately sneezed.

"Hell the Southern Hemisphere." Frederick muttered a taxi and went to the city to find a hotel to settle in before calling again.

"Hello, Mr. Rogers, I'm Noah? Kane, I'm sorry, we're not in Wellington right now. Soon came the voice of another producer from the New Line, who had been overseeing finances on the New Zealand crew of "The Lord of the Rings" over a phone call.

"Mr. Kane, we said haode before." The agent said weakly, fortunately, he also brought a duck down jacket, otherwise, for Westerners, a cold is definitely a very terrible disease.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Rogers, but after we had a phone call yesterday, Director Jackson asked everyone to go to Queenstown and look at some of the locations." The voice over there became more and more apologetic.

"So I have to go to Queenstown now?" Frederick had the urge to pass out, and Queenstown was further south, only colder than Wellington.

"Hmm...... If you're not in a hurry, you can wait for us to come back, about ...... It takes three or four days. "After thinking about it, I gave this suggestion.

Frederick immediately rolled his eyes: "I'll come over tomorrow." ”

At first, he thought that the crew was still in Los Angeles and only needed to meet in person, but after getting the contact number from Walsh, he learned that they had actually gone to New Zealand to prepare for the movie. Since the big words had already been spoken, it was naturally difficult to take them back, so Frederick had to board the plane and go to Wellington to meet Jackson first.

What I didn't expect was that it would be so cold in New Zealand at the end of July, and it was fine when there was sun, about 59 degrees, but if the weather was cloudy, it would quickly drop to about 40 degrees, let alone late at night, and the only thing to be thankful for was that at least the temperature would not be below 32 degrees.

The next day, after a combined torture of cars, dinghies, small planes and other means of transportation, and waiting for most of the day, Frederick finally met Peter in the studio rented by the "Lord of the Rings" crew? Jackson.

"I've sketched many meetings in my head, but what I didn't expect was that you were a lot rougher than you look in the pictures, Mr. Jackson." The agent first jokingly said.

Peter at this time? Jackson, not only has a big beard, but the whole person is also a little bloated, plus he has just returned from outside, with the smell of the wild, barely and roughly.

But some tired Jackson apparently didn't take the compliment to heart, and unceremoniously went straight to the point: "I'm not polite, Mr. Rogers, Noah said you want to recommend a good actor?" ”

"Yes, of course," in that case, Frederick had no choice but to hand over the bag of documents that had been prepared for the haode, "Sean? Don, a young actor from San Francisco to Hollywood, although he only started acting last September, is already in Anthony? Minghella played the lead role in the film, and he was a very talented actor, and you can look at the videotape of the audition at the time. ”

Jackson didn't say anything and put the tape into the video player in his office while Frederick continued to introduce Sean.

"He can play the kind of character with a rich heart shijie, or the kind of handsome and dashing character, so to speak, he is a generalist, a very potential all-rounder." He didn't blush at all when he bragged.

"Which role do you want him to fight for?" Jackson, looking at the TV screen, asked.

"Legras, or Faramire, or Merry, Pippin, or even Frodo." Frederick, who had done his homework, said immediately.

Jackson laughed, pulled the tape out of the machine, and handed it back to him, "Xiexie, Mr. Rogers, this young man you recommended is really good, and that's true." Even though it's just a videotape, I can still see if he's working hard and how good his acting skills are, but I don't think there's a role for him, so I'm sorry. ”

He patted Frederick on the shoulder, and then left the office, and the agent stood in a daze, and it took a long time to react.

No, shouldn't you bargain at this time? I haven't started lobbying yet! And the actors haven't met yet, why did they simply refuse? This damn fat man!
