Chapter 160: A Pleasant Conversation

"I know you have a crush on that boy, Fred, in fact I also think he is very good, what I said before is not a lie, to be able to enter this circle and become famous in two years, despite the factor of luck, but it is undeniable that his own ability is also one of the reasons." In the bathroom, Emmanuel said to Frederick as he washed his hands.

"However, as a broker, you need to be skilled in communicating with your clients and take a long-term view. I hear you seem to be talking to Sean about making a movie before, he started a production company, and what is your opinion on that? Emmanuel continued, and as he turned off the faucet, Frederick naturally handed over a clean paper towel.

"I don't have much of a problem with that, I just think he should focus on acting, and I've always wanted him to play a role in a big production." Frederick explained simply, "But he doesn't care much at the moment, this year's two films are either supporting roles with few scenes, or the protagonists of low-budget independent films, and they lack exposure." ”

"You see, that's the problem, sometimes a moderate amount of concession is necessary," Emmanuel patted him on the shoulder and walked out, "It's normal for you to have such worries, but don't forget Sean's own charms." Think about it, how many people have done what he did that few others could hardly do? As brokers, what we do is not to tell our clients what they should do, but to tell them what their options are and where those choices are good and bad. ”

"Yes, I understand, just ......" Frederick tried to argue.

"Yes, you know, it just can't be done," Emmanuel interrupted, "we need passion, but we can't let passion control us, and in that regard, Sean's nominal name is ...... Sanders' assistant is better than you do. He knows who the subject is, and he also knows how to serve the subject well, and when I tested his attitude towards you just now, he not only didn't pick on your thorns, but also helped to say a few good words, which is very good. I guess Sean is going to let him be his agent, otherwise you wouldn't be so-for-tat with him, it's a shame, and I'd love to see him come to work in Endeavour's mailroom. ”

Frederick couldn't help but look depressed.

"Alright, Fred," Emmanuel Haha laughed, "Actually, it's not a bad thing to let the client do their own once in a while, and taste the frustration, as long as you are good at using everything that can be used." For example, Sean made a movie, and then failed, and his popularity was sluggish, what should he do? It's very simple, let him disappear completely for two or three months, and then play the sad card, which works so well that it only takes a few days to make him popular again. You're a nice guy, Fred, and you're kind of an old employee, and I hope to keep it up. ”

Although Endeavour Elite Agency has gained a firm foothold and is beginning to take shape, it is still very eager for celebrity customers, so when Sean became famous overnight, Frederick, who originally lacked bright spots, had his own office.

"I will, Ali." Frederick nodded, and then said cautiously, "Personally, I think we might be able to expand the range, before Todd?" It was on our recommendation that Vladimir went to Sean's production company as general manager. ”

"I've heard about it, you've done a good job, and the company will consider these suggestions," Emmanuel patted him on the shoulder again, "Come on, Fred, maybe in the near future, you'll be a partner in the firm, after all, we're not as stingy as ICM." ”

Copartner? Frederick involuntarily took a deep breath, becoming a partner in a brokerage firm is the wish of every broker, which means status, status, power, and wealth. So, even though he knew that this was just an enticing prospect that Emmanuel had shown him, but he couldn't help but feel the fighting spirit.

While Emmanuel and Frederick went to the bathroom together and had a good conversation, Sean and the others at the round table and Mark? Wahlberg also got along very well.

"You already have your own production company? And also set up specific departments? You're a big deal, Sean. After hearing about Sean's production company, Wahlberg said with surprise, "I just started a production company this year, but like most people, it's a shell company." ”

Then he half-jokingly asked, "Why, you're going to change careers to be a producer so soon?" ”

"No, I just think it's a bit rash to make movies with shell companies, and in addition to making money, I also want to make some fun, movies that I like." Sean said it with some grandeur.

"Do you know how much it costs to maintain a company?" Wahlberg became more and more surprised, "Of course, I don't mean to be sarcastic about you, I just feel surprised, after all, few people do this, and you are still an actor." ”

"Some things have to be tried before you are willing, like you, Mark, if someone thinks you have a good voice and wants you to put out a single and write a good song, what will you do?" Sean cleverly changed the subject.

"Hmm...... Well, I'll admit I'd be very tempted. Wahlberg said Haha and laughed.

Before becoming an actor, he also did a lot of work, such as forming an orchestra with his brother, releasing his own records, and working as a model, and he was able to become an actor thanks to his underwear commercials. Although he has not released any more records, he has always liked to sing, and just now, he and Sean had a chorus of "Hotel California".

"Then you can do a good job, maybe in a few years, I will ask you for a role." Wahlberg smiled and patted Sean on the shoulder.

"No problem, in my opinion, the most important thing that Hollywood should promote is an actor like you." Sean said very seriously.

"Because I was in prison?" Wahlberg still had a smile on his face, but he looked like he had something unclear.

Born in the slums of Boston, Wahlberg was a bit aggressive from an early age, and he also did a lot of illegal hookups, such as selling marijuana or racial discrimination, and was caught by the police several times. When he was 15 years old, he attacked a middle-aged man of Vietnamese descent on the street and blinded him in one eye, so he was charged with attempted murder, but Zuihou only admitted to the beating, so he was sentenced to two years in prison.

Although he was actually only locked up for 45 days because he was underage, it still had a huge impact, so although the first record was popular and sold poorly, the second record was very bad, and eventually had to give up being a singer.

"yes," Sean said without the slightest pause, "you've been prosecuted, you've been in jail, but you've changed now, haven't you?" Even if I don't know you well, the people around me should know about you, right? Listening to what Ali said about you, I can clearly outline in my head the trajectory of you starting from the very basics and becoming a great actor step by step. Although you are not as good as those big names now, I believe that it will be sooner or later, if you can't succeed in reforming, then how can we believe that this shijie is giving people hope? ”

Then, after a long silence, the two suddenly laughed together, and invariably reached out their hands to exchange a slap, making a crisp snapping sound.

"Xiexie you, Sean, nice to meet you." Wahlberg said very seriously.

"Me too, Mark." Sean did the same, and then half-jokingly said: "Don't worry, when my production company develops, I will tailor a movie for you, a movie with a huge contrast, and let you play a little white face." ”

"Oh? Is it? Are you sure? Wahlberg raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm...... In addition to movies, we can also make TV dramas. Sean immediately changed his words, and there was another burst of laughter.

"Then I'll wait for you." Seeing Emmanuel coming, Wahlberg stood up.

Frankly, Sean's remarks did have some flattery, and it is said that Wahlberg broke his neighbor's jaw when he was 21 years old. But many times, first impressions are important, and no matter what Wahlberg has done in the past, what he is now in front of Sean is a mature, gentle and personable man. And he came with Frederick's boss again, and the relationship looks good, so it doesn't hurt to get acquainted.

Besides, Sean's previous words are not wrong, even if he doesn't know him yet, the people around him must know him, right? And before that, he had never heard any rumors of violence from him. Of course, some people may say that this is the ability of agents and PR, in that case, the wise will see the wise.

What's more, Sean has a vague impression of Wahlberg in his head, and he is also very appetizing, both of them are very straightforward, once they get acquainted with each other, they think each other is good, and they have something to say. A lot of the previous gossip about Wahlberg was what he had just said, so Sean had a good impression of him, so he didn't have anything to do for a while, so he promised a lot of blank checks.

Of course, Sean didn't think about the interesting chemistry that getting to know Wahlberg and writing those empty promises would spark.

"Alright, guys, they're gone, what about us?" After watching Emmanuel and Wahlberg leave, Sean said to the three of them.

"What else, find a place or just have dinner here, and then go home and continue to discuss the things that didn't come to fruition today." It wasn't Frederick who spoke, it was Sanders.

"Wow, did you steal someone's lines, Sandy?" Sean teased in surprise.

"If he steals lines like this every day, then I will be very happy." Frederick said immediately.

"You look a little different, too." Sean continued to keep an unexpected gaze.

"Of course, if your boss tells you to work hard, you may be a partner in the future, even if you know that it is far away, you will feel energetic." The agent shrugged.

"That's good news, so why don't we celebrate?" Sean immediately said, "Fred is in for a treat." ”

"No problem." Frederick replied, but put on an obvious toothache, "As long as you explain it to me carefully, Weishenme will take a fancy to the script of "Sniper Phone Booth"!" ”
