"Quite simply, I wanted to try to pick up the whole movie by myself," Sean told Frederick, sitting in the living room of his villa, "and like in Death Illusion, the plot revolves entirely around the main character." But that movie was too simple, and Richard, although he had some ability, was a first-time director, so I wanted to work with someone more experienced. ”

He pointed to the script on the coffee table and continued with a very serious expression: "Although this script is not complete, we can all see that most of the time, the scene is confined to a phone booth, which gives the actor or the actor a lot of room to play. And Joe? Schumacher is also one of the most well-known directors in Hollywood, and I believe he has a firm grip on everything, so this is a great opportunity for me. ”

"Well...... Frédéric dragged his voice, "then you know what, Schumacher is gay." ”

Sean was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and his eyelids began to jump, as if he had eaten a fly, and Sanders and Galen next to him snickered.

"Well, I'm kidding," the agent threw up his hands without losing time, "Schumacher is gay, but he already has a long-term partner, so ...... Well...... Do not worry. ”

He made a gesture that looked like he was telling Sean not to think crookedly, but that evil smile really made people want to punch him in the nose.

"You have to think clearly, Sean, this character is at least 25 to 30 years old, even if you have the example of 'The Genius Ripley' in front of you, Schumacher will not necessarily use you," Frederick put away his smile and said seriously, "And the movie is invested by 20th Century Fox, and the producer is David?" Zach, I don't really have a lot of contact with them. ”

Although he seemed very serious, Sean and the others didn't think so, and they all showed undisguised surprise.

"Is this guy sitting in front of us really Frederick?"

"I don't know, I don't think he's going to talk to us in that tone."

"Maybe some monster is pretending to be in front of us with his skin."

"Enough, you guys," exclaimed Frederick, in exasperation, "do I look like a flexible person who doesn't understand?" ”

"Yes, not at all."

"Haven't you always stood by your opinions?"

"And no matter what others say, the first time is to oppose it, not to consider whether it makes sense."

It was another gossip, and even Bock made a lively snort, making the agent roll his eyes.

"Alright, Fred," Sean said before seeing that the joke was almost over, "you can't blame us, you know that during this time, every time we ask something, you are always the first to object, so we are deeply suspicious of your current attitude." ”

"I'm the one who said this," Frederick wiped his face depressedly, "no matter what I say during this time, you will insist on your opinion, in that case, do I have any other choice but to agree?" ”

Sean stared at him for a long time before he turned around: "Are you really sure it's my agent sitting in front of me?" ”

Another burst of daxiao.

"Give it a try, Fred," said Sean Zuihou, "just like when we were competing for the lead role in 'The Talented Ripley,' it doesn't matter what the outcome is, as long as we give it our all." ”

"I see," Frederick said no more, "I'll take care of everything." ”

Coming out of Sean's villa, it was already past 8:30, but Frederick did not show the slightest fatigue, and soon called again after getting in the car: "Alice? Help me check out David? Zach's phone and then text it to me. Which David? Zack? Of course, the producer of that script you allowed Sean to take yesterday! Give it to me right away! ”

Hung up the phone rather dissatisfied, Frederick sighed half annoyed and half depressed, Alice is still very competent as an assistant, but the problem is Sean's guy...... He didn't have a good relationship with Sanders, but he talked a lot with Galen, and he learned a little bit about Sean's past achievements from him.

Look at his record after he went to Hollywood, a half-cohabiting Naomi? Watts won't talk about it, Gwyneth? Paltrow, Catherine? Heiger, Drew? Barrymore, how many are there? Maybe Cameron? Diaz and Lucy? Liu is also among them, and even flew four with the three heroines of "Breaking Baby".

Who said it couldn't be, that kid had just made some achievements, and he flew the three heroines of "Friends" four times, let alone now. Plus there's an ambiguous Jordana? Brewster, it seems that he has already eaten in his mouth, and I have to say that this kid is very good at dealing with women.

In this case, he was afraid that he would be able to hook Alice with his fingers, right? Even if Alice was three or four years older than him. In that case, Frederick would have a lot of headaches, and no agent would allow a client to have an ambiguous relationship with his assistant, even if it was just a one-night stand, and no one could say whether the assistant would reveal something in bed.

Even though they are friends in private, and even if Frederick believes in Sean's character, they are still essentially an employment relationship, so sometimes there will inevitably be conflicts of interest. When you don't know the bottom line of the other party, it is the choice of many people to be tolerant of each other and take a step back, but once one party grasps the bottom line of the other party, it is very likely to cause contradictions and then become irreconcilable.

Are you going to fire her? Frederick thought so. But soon he shook his head again, and looked again, at least for now, they didn't have a clear trend, and the new assistant wasn't necessarily as good at dealing with problems as she was.

As he spoke, the phone vibrate, and Frederick, who had slowed down the car, picked it up and looked at it, and after a few silent recitations, he dialed it.

"Hey, David, how are you? Is it, Fred, Frederick? Rogers, Endeavour agent, have you forgotten me? We had a drink at Wesson's Bar a week ago. After repeated calls, the phone finally got through, and Frederick immediately asked with a smile, and with the right timing, laughter was easier to bring each other closer.

"Yes, that's right, that's Fred, how's it going, how are you doing? How's the preparation of the new movie? Don't tell you you haven't started the project yet. Frederick continued jokingly.

But he soon couldn't laugh anymore: "What script? Of course, it's the script sent to Endeavour, "Sniper Phone Booth", that's the name, Larry? Cohen's work...... Wait, can you repeat that...... How can it be?! ”

Frederick's eyes widened, and Zach, who was at a party at a friend's house, told him that he hadn't had the script sent to Endeavour and that the film was ...... It is true that the project has not yet begun. Well, it's not accurate to say that there is no project, basically the producer and the director have negotiated, the funds have been in place, and the preliminary preparations will start immediately, but they haven't started discussing the actors yet.

"You mean...... Your assistant would have been mistaken, and he should have handed over the haode script to a few people in charge, but in fact it was sent to each agency separately? Frederick had to do everything in his power to keep his voice from sounding less powerless.

You really fuck should fire that idiot! The agent had the urge to stop the car and walk to the side of the road, clutching the thick trunk and slamming it. If that idiot had asked a little more, the damn script wouldn't have been sent to Endeavour, it wouldn't have been sent to him, and it wouldn't have been seen by Sean, and he wouldn't have run around for it!

Of course, this was all a momentary thought, and Frederick, who had adjusted his frustration, immediately laughed again: "It seems that I am very lucky, I was the first to discover the value of this script, how about it?" If you have time, how about a few words together? ”

The next step was much simpler, and after the meeting was scheduled, the next day, the agent met with Zach and the appointed director, Schumacher, in his office.

"The rest of the script has been withdrawn, and the film has not yet begun preparation, so I hope you will not reveal it for the time being." After greeting each other, Zach's first words were this.

Frederick smelled bad from it, and it was quite possible that the other party agreed to meet just for this, and not to think about the actors. Despite this, a fighting spirit automatically welled up in his heart, although he was still a little short of two years away from getting along with Sean, he was somewhat infected, and the first thing he thought of after encountering problems was to overcome and surpass rather than avoid.

As Sean said before, no matter what the result is, as long as you do your best, there is nothing to regret, didn't they rely on this belief to create miracles in the first place? Therefore, even if Frederick does not approve of Sean competing for this role, there is still only such a thought at the moment.

"No problem, that's a very reasonable request," Frederick replied with a smile, "So, now about our business, what do you think is up to my client Sean?" How about Tang Lai playing the male lead? ”

Zach and Schumacher didn't speak, just exchanged glances, and Rao was so, and the agent still caught the stunned look in their eyes.

Why, they didn't think about it? Frederick was a little weird. If you think about it, well, there are indeed a few of your clients who are suitable for other roles except Sean, and it's normal that they haven't thought about it. He comforted himself, and then looked at them with an inquiring look, and did not explain anything more, just made a look of waiting for an answer.

"If I'm not mistaken......" Schumacher coughed lightly after a while, "Fred, can I call you that?" Haode, Fred, if I'm not mistaken, Sean? Don is only 20 years old this year, right? What I need is a man who is at least 25 years old, or even close to 30 years old. Outside of the first time, this man is married, and he is very affectionate with his wife, but at the same time he can't resist the temptation and has the urge to cheat, he is a very contradictory person, family, life, life and death are all concentrated together...... Do you really think he's the right fit for all of this? ”
