"I thought you had it all, Fred." After coming out of the terminal building, Sean opened his hands with a grin, but the next second he pulled his clothes tight and exhaled a white breath.

"Hell, it's the first time I've gone straight from summer to winter." He said half complaining, half curious.

"Soon you'll get used to it." Frederick, who had greeted Galen with his luggage, replied, his face was really not very good-looking.

"Okay, Fred, I don't blame you," Sean, who sensed the agent's emotions, said after getting into the car, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

"I don't know," Frederick became annoyed again, "just like the previous job, I recommended you, complimented you, told him that Minghella liked you, and showed you a video of you auditioning for The Talented Ripley, and then he just turned it down." Damn, I was recommended by the new line company, how could he do this to me! ”

"Yes......" Sean frowned, "what else did you say?" ”

"No...... Well, he asked me which role I wanted to fight for, and I said Legreis, Faramir, Merry, Pipin, all of them, you're good at a lot of roles," Frederick thought for a moment, "and that's pretty much it." ”

"Didn't you tell him that I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy and even have a collection at home, so I really want to play a role in the movie?" Sean was a little surprised.

"I didn't have time to say this at all, just at the beginning, he made it clear that he refused, and followed Yang Chang, not giving me a chance to speak at all." Frederick couldn't help but want to growl.

"Obviously, the problem lies in the phrase fighting for the role," Sean said immediately, "No director would like an actor who doesn't even have a certain role to fight for, and you still want the role of Legolas, and now you don't worry about the conflict with the schedule and "The Grim Reaper" is coming?" ”

"That's just a statement, a way of saying that can open up the situation, and when we have a deep discussion, I naturally bring out my real thoughts and communicate them to him. But this damn fat New Zealand man slammed the door shut, and he thought he was who! The agent snarled dryly.

"I guess you're overlooking, Fred," Sean touched his chin calmly, "and it seems like you didn't realize it, Peter?" Jackson is the one who is in control of the series. ”

"Hmm...... Well? Frederick didn't react for a moment.

"You see, according to the information you gave me, New Line Pictures invested close to $300 million while allowing him to choose his own characters and locations, which obviously put the production in his hands. In other words, as long as Jackson doesn't overspend, then he has no problem shooting this movie as he wants. And you're dealing with James? Huang's attitude to treat him, he naturally won't give you a good look, will he? Sean spread his hands.

Frederick's mouth opened, his brow furrowed, and it took a few minutes to think of something to argue, but a voice interjected.

"Hey, I said, can we get out of here first? The people in the back were getting tired of waiting. Galen, who was sitting in the passenger cab, said and pointed to the rear window, and at the same time, several horns sounded in unison.

Although he traveled all the way from Los Angeles to Wellington and made the leap from summer to winter, after talking to Frederick, Sean didn't blame his agent.

This attitude is normal, and when negotiating roles with ordinary film directors, most agents will praise their clients to create momentum and take the initiative, especially if the client is somewhat famous.

The most typical example, if Sean is trying to win the leading role in "Death is Coming" by just playing a supporting role in "Friends", even if Zuihou succeeds in getting it, it will inevitably take a lot of effort, and all kinds of smiling faces are already light. However, after he played the leading actor in the Oscar Best Director movie, even if the movie has not yet been released, the agent can handle the role in his absence, so that the other party dares to gamble like this.

Every time he takes such a step forward, Sean can feel the flavor of Frederick's original saying, "As long as you can bring benefits, they will go after you like crazy".

Back to the point, so this time Frederick miscalculated, he didn't figure out Peter? How much power Jackson has in the crew.

Sean knows that although he doesn't remember much about the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Jackson won the Oscar for Best Director with "The Lord of the Rings", and after the success of the first part, the new line very readily agreed to pay for some of the shots to be reshot, which is impressive. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this trilogy is completely handled by him, and he has the power to say everything.

Frederick wasn't Sean and didn't know any of this, so he was rejected. It doesn't matter, as long as it can be recovered, so Sean came to New Zealand as soon as possible.

"Mr. Jackson, I'm Fred, Frederick? Rogers, we've met, remember? "When I came to the studio in Queenstown again, it was easy to wait for Jackson to come back from outside, and the agent greeted him as soon as possible.

"Oh, of course, Mister Rogers, but I think it's made clear that there's no need to go any further." Jackson sighed, pulled the brim of his hat and seemed a little helpless, it seemed that Frederick had pestered him like this before.

The agent wanted to say something, but Sean, who shook his head secretly, walked over quickly, pulled him away, and then stretched out his hand to Jackson: "Hello, Mr. Jackson, I'm Sean, Sean?" Don, I'd like to ask you for my agent, he obviously didn't understand what this was going to be. ”

Jackson was a little surprised, and shook his hand with interest: "So what kind of work do you think this will be?" ”

"This will be a great work that will leave its mark on film history." Sean replied, then explained, "I'm not making you a sycophant, Mr. Jackson, but after learning about what you've done for this series, I know that only people who love this novel so much can be so tenacious, and I'm sure this passion will make you make a great movie." ”

"You've won the prize, I'm just fulfilling my previous wish." Jackson said this, but the joy in his eyes was obvious.

Turning his head and whispering to his assistant, he immediately beckoned to Sean: "Come to my office and talk about it." ”

Frederick, who had just said a word next to him, could only stare at them and leave, leaving Galen snickering beside him-

"Sit down, Sean," Jackson greeted as he came to the small office, and then sat down on the single couch, "You like the Lord of the Rings novels too?" ”

"Yes, I have read it repeatedly when I was practicing my reading skills, and I can even memorize many passages." Sean said confidently.

"Really?" Jackson was a little surprised.

"You can pick a random one and let me try it." Sean's tone was loud.

"Okay, Part 2, verse 13 begins." Jackson said immediately.

"Hmm......" Sean got stuck, and could only smile after a while, "I'm sorry, I know it's Frodo and Sam who take Gollum through the swamp, but the memories are intermittent, can you change the verse?" ”

"Well," Jackson thought for a moment, "Part 1, verse 10, the episode where Freelander, Frodo, Sam, and Aragon meet, but since I prompted you, you'll have to start with paragraph 7." ”

"Hmm......" Sean continued to freeze, "I'm sorry, I know this is the episode of Frodo and the four of them escaping the pursuit of the Ringwraith, but I'm not very familiar with these sections, can I change it?" ”

"Okay," Jackson rolled his eyes this time, "then back to the second part, this time the seventh section, starting with paragraph 23." ”

There was a pause, and before Sean could speak, he added, "For this section, no more changes." ”

"I see," Sean scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, "will you give me a few minutes to brew my emotions?" ”

Jackson made a gesture of please, and Sean immediately folded his hands together, supported his chin, and closed his eyes.

He just sat there motionless, Jackson waited patiently at first, but he never moved, and gradually, Jackson waited a little impatiently.

Then, Sean opened his eyes and stood up violently: "Aragorn exudes an unparalleled kingly aura, which makes the wild people on the ground stop their movements and look back at the entrance of the valley uneasily, and some even look up at the sky. But the orcs were mercilessly hahadaxiao, and Aragorn jumped down from the high wall, and the arrows behind him rained ****. With a deafening bang and a blinding burst of fire, the place where Arragon had stood collapsed in a cloud of smoke in an instant, and the fortifications beneath the gates crumbled as if struck by lightning. Aragorn galloped towards the tower where the king was.

However, just as the gate was stormed and the orcs roared and prepared to charge, a whispering voice suddenly sounded behind them, as if the distant wind had brought an ominous omen. The orcs on Horn Rock heard the sound and turned their heads to look back; It was then that the battle horn of the Valley of the Holy Helmet sounded from the towers in the fortress.

All who heard it trembled, and many orcs fell to the ground, covering their ears with their claws. From the Valley of the Holy Helmet there were constant echoes, one after the other, as if a trumpeter from each mountain had answered the call. The defenders listened intently, and the sound of the trumpets echoed in the valley, not only did not weaken, but became more and more wild and exhilarating.

'Holy Helm! Holy Helm! The hussars shouted: 'The warriors of old, who have risen and will help King Heyodon to win the battle!' ’

The king appeared to the cheers of the crowd, his horses white as snow, his shields shining golden, his spears sharp, and to his right was Aragorn, the heir of Elendil, and behind him were the Praetorian Guards of the royal family of Eo. The dawn pierced the sky, and the night faded quietly.

'Hussars, charge! With a loud roar, all the horses charged at the enemy. They burst out of the collapsed gates, invincible in their way, sweeping through Issinger's troops like a gust of wind through the prairie. In the Valley of the Holy Helm, the response of the previous survivors was heard, and they fought their way out of the cavern and drove away the enemies that lingered there. All the remaining defenders of Horn Rock poured out, and the deafening sound of trumpets still echoed through the hills.

The king led the Praetorian Guard to slaughter, and the enemy's commanders and officers either died by their spears or fled in all directions, and no orcs or humans could stop their attack. The hussars kept in pursuit, the enemy fled without stopping, and Isengard's troops were crushed – dawn did deliver an unexpected and fatal blow to them! ”
