Relying on Sanders's hard work, Sean finally got the role of "The Aviator" as he wished, as for the contract, it is all a trivial matter, and it is very negotiable under the premise that both parties are interested.

Of course, Frederick was as dissatisfied as ever: "6 million, only 6 million, when did Scorsese become so picky, you know, you got 8 million in "Cold Mountain", and I bet, if they look for Brad? Pete's words will at least open a high price of 10 million! Damn, it is said that the investment has exceeded 100 million, but they don't even want to give extra salary. ”

Sean just laughed at this, and he wasn't Brad? Pete, and not Leonardo? DiCaprio, who has never worked with Scorsese, will definitely not get the highest salary. Generally speaking, as long as you haven't reached the status of a superstar, working with a big director like Scorsese out of respect - well, in other words, if you can be a person, you will reduce your salary somewhat, and some well-known actors can even pay tens of thousands of dollars for a supporting role.

This is the power of a big director, so Sean doesn't care about the salary of 6 million, anyway, it is only different from the past, in exchange for him who just arrived in Los Angeles more than three years ago, not to mention the salary of 6 million, 600,000 is enough for him to wake up from his dream, but now he is no longer completely dependent on his salary.

However, Frederick needs that the salary of 6 million means that he can only get 600,000, which is 200,000 less than "Cold Mountain", which is really bad. However, Sean knows that only a small part of his dissatisfaction comes from salary, and more because Sanders has officially become Sean's agent.

"I don't understand, Sean, you still need an agent, am I not good enough? You know, after adding an agent, you will have to pay an additional 10% commission in the future, which was only 10% in the past, and 20% in the future. After Sean told Frederick about his decision, he asked half-truthfully.

"Quite simply, I hope you can always be my broker." Sean blocked him back with such a sentence.

Quite simply, before this, when there was no agent, the contact with public relations, communication with various media, as well as building an image, extinguishing or creating scandals, were all handled by Frederick, and these were all rights. And with an agent, Sanders is in charge of all this, and Frederick only serves Sean's film side, so his mood is understandable.

However, understanding is understanding, Sean will not change his mind, as he said, in addition to making his career more standardized, it is indeed for Frederick's good. The interests of the client and the broker cannot always coincide, so it is necessary to prevent the broker from sacrificing the client for his own interests, Frederick and Sean have been able to work quite well along the way, and they are quite happy to cooperate with each other, if they fall out because of this matter, it will be too much to lose.

Therefore, the separation of powers is also necessary, and Sean understood this truth from the beginning, which is why Sanders was also called from San Francisco. Now that he has proven and taken charge of himself, it is natural to start, of course, there are parts of the overlap of the duties of the agent and the agent, but more of them still have their own strengths, and even if they do, there are two different opinions alternately, maybe it can be done better.

Leaving aside Frederick's grievances for the time being, after signing the film contract, Sean quickly got the script, communicated further with Scorsese, and then began to figure out the role in a targeted manner. Howard in the script? Hughes is a little different from Sean's imagination, and the story focuses on him building airplanes, flying airplanes, and working with Pan America's president, Juan? Tripp fights, this is no problem, after all, the name is directly called "Aviator", plus there is a super large aircraft like Spruce Goose whose wing-spreading record has not been broken so far, it is strange that the main line is not this.

Then, interspersed with Hughes's cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but judging from the text of the script, this detail does not seem to have any important role in the plot, except that Zuihou Tripp decided that Hughes did not dare to appear in public, and used his influence to set up an investigative committee in Congress after the end of World War II, asking Hughes to appear in court to make a statement, wanting to defeat him in one fell swoop.

This is Zuihou's plot, which can be regarded as the biggest climax of the whole movie, but in fact, according to the information collected by Sean, although there are rumors, there is no obvious evidence that Congress has set up a commission of inquiry, and Tripp is pushing behind it. Of course, for the sake of the drama of the film, such modifications are possible, and at this time a biographical film is not a documentary.

Returning to cleanliness, for the most part, it's just a detail that shows the protagonist's traits, not unlike the original explanation of his cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder with his mother warning Hughes Jr. to beware of cholera. As for those lace scandals, they only focused on Catherine? Hepburn and Ava? Gardner came to show, well, and Catherine? Hepburn is one of the few aiqing in Hughes's life, and of course should be qualified to appear on the screen, but Ava? Gardner...... Well, for the sake of her being the only woman who knocked out Hughes's teeth, it's no problem to join her.

It's just that since there is a detailed mention of "Hell's Angel", which Hughes spent millions to produce after coming to Hollywood, the first actress Jane who became popular and got her hands on it? Haru only mentioned it slightly, isn't it a little inappropriate?

But then again, Sean is just an actor, and this is the job of a screenwriter and director, and the title of the film is "The Aviator", so it is definitely impossible to take the playboy scandal as the main line, and there must be a trade-off.

"If someone were to make a biographical film about me in the future, I wouldn't want anyone to focus entirely on the Playboy title." Sean sometimes thinks so.

Well, let's not talk about whether he can be qualified to make a biographical film for him in the future, even if he does, as long as he is alive, then the eyes of the audience and the media will still be on the name of Playboy. If you want them to say good things, that's the treatment that only dead people have, just like "The Aviator", many details are different from the facts, but this does not prevent the screenwriter from describing it like this.

But if Hughes is alive or even in the prime of life, the media and viewers will only pay more attention to his gossip.

This is Sean's personal experience, look at the guys, their eyes will only focus on who he was dating before, who he is dating now, and who he will date in the future. As for his efforts, just like now, he has read a lot of materials, read books, and learned a lot of etiquette in the forties and fifties for the role of Hughes. He imitated the mannerisms and conversations of people at that time, practiced his Southern accent for a long time, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to make a ten-minute video for Scorsese.

Or when filming "Cold Mountain" before, he repeatedly read the original novel and the script, and constantly compared, which gave a surprising suggestion when Minghella made up the plot of Sarah. As an actor, as a good actor, these are all must-do homework, although Sean has various shortcomings, and being a good woman is a serious problem, but this has never been pulled down.

But the media can't see this, and even if they do, they will ignore it, and report that you are working hard? Please, who's watching? Who doesn't make an effort? Let those readers who only like gossip and have a sense of superiority after reading it can be cool, it is the truth to buy newspapers and magazines out of their pockets and click on websites, who cares if you work hard or not, isn't it a fact that you are constantly soaking women?

Yes, this is true, but even if he tells these people bitterly, it is a little unfair for you to just see me dating a woman and not seeing me trying. They will also only answer, who made you not show it, or who made you have an affair with so many women, and that others worked harder than you, that others did what for which role, etc., they always have an excuse anyway.

So Sean doesn't bother to care so much, just do his own thing, and it's not that no one supports him, and now he is still focusing on figuring out Howard in "The Aviator"? Hughes is good above. Although the rest of the script is different from the real Hughes, and it is also different from what Sean imagined, most of it is still the same, but some details need to be revised.

For example, Sean himself designed a knuckle rub for Hughes to show the details of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but in the script, he constantly washed his hands with preserved soap to highlight his cleanliness, and there was even a scene where Hughes came out of the bathroom and washed his hands with soap, his hands were wet and he didn't know what to do, just looked at the public towel placed on the sink and was stunned.

Although there is not much described in the script, Sean can completely sketch the scene in his head, which makes him a little sad, because he has to apply the emotion of rubbing his knuckles to wash his hands, and it needs to be deepened.

In addition to this, Scorsese also made a lot of demands on him, one of which was to practice flying an airplane.

Well, this is a mistake when Sean first figured out the character, and he said that the title of the film is "The Aviator", so it must be Hughes building and flying the plane as the main line, and he will have to shoot on the plane at that time, and there will be close-ups of driving into the air. Although it must have been done in a green or blue curtain studio and would not actually fly, he had to have some experience flying airplanes, otherwise it would not have been good if he had performed well elsewhere and had no feeling for it.

"It's okay, it's just flying the plane." Sean didn't mind at all, and quickly contacted a flying club with Sanders, who was acting as an agent.

Propeller planes, and they don't fly very high, should be easier to learn than jet planes, farmers can fly propeller planes to spray pesticides, Sean has no reason not to learn, anyway, the start-up will have to wait until July, enough time.

However, the role has to be figured out, and the scandal has to be created, after all, Nicole was promised at the beginning, although the relationship between them was not very good during this time, but the play has already begun, and it must be performed.
