117. Chapter 117 Means one

After the Millennium, in addition to the 1.5 million reward given by Weinstein and Mingla, Sean also earned 800,000 yuan from "Charlie's Angels". Although the price is equivalent to "The God of Death", his role is only about 15 to 20 minutes, and it may actually be shorter after the screening, which can almost be considered a guest appearance, so it is in line with his value.

These plus the savings last year, even if they spend a lot of money, Sean still has a net worth of more than 2 million yuan. It is not a big problem to buy two cars at once. I said before that cars in the United States are very cheap. Mercedes-Benz CL600 is a product launched just this year, so it is a little more expensive, about 130,000 yuan, while ML55 is much cheaper, which is nearly 70,000 yuan, and it only costs about 200,000 yuan in total.

The idea of ​​buying a car was very early. Although Lincoln mainland is classic and cool, there are three people at home after all, so it doesn't matter if you go out together, but it's not enough to separate. Galen has a second-hand Porsche at least, and it looks pretty good. If Sanders wants to go out alone and the other two cars are no longer there, he can only drive Sean's broken Ford.

Although the Ford has a pretty good performance, it is an old car that has been running for ten years and is not as good as the Lincoln mainland. So Sean took them to the Mercedes-Benz car shop by celebrating his Oscar nomination. He originally wanted to come down and give it to them, but considering the self-esteem of Garen and Sanders, it was temporarily placed in his name and handed it over to them.

"Hi, Alice, you haven't seen each other for a few days, and you look a lot more beautiful again." After driving to the Endeavourable Office Building, outside Frederick's office, Sean greeted his assistant.

He was a young girl with short hair. She was a few years older than Sean. She had a very slim figure and had a few freckles on her face. She was very cute.

"Don't do this, Sean." Alice said so, but lowered her head.

"Don't harass my assistant, Sean, come here quickly, we have something to talk about." Frederick poked his head out from behind the glass door and shouted.

"You told you before, Sean, don't touch my assistant." After he entered, the agent who closed the door said this first thing, and then looked outside, "Your two followers are not good either, and it will also have a serious impact on our relationship."

Through the office made of transparent glass, Sean could clearly see that Garen and Sanders were taking turns to chat with Alice.

"I just asked OK," he shrugged, then raised his hands under Frederick's gaze. "Well, I get it, I'll remind them to pay attention - you said the other person wanted to see me?"

"We're in some trouble," the agent didn't bother with the topic, and went straight to the topic. "It was already done, but Anna came out of the way and was about to steal the advertising contract, so I need you to meet with the other party, have lunch together, and use your charm to conquer him!"

"You mean, use my charm to... conquer a middle-aged man." Sean asked half-jokingly.

"I'm serious, Sean." Frederick pinched his fingers, "Well, I admit, I'm a little dereliction of duty. After moving into the office, I'm going to have to do a lot of things, so I relaxed my attention there, and Anna took advantage of the loophole. We must think of a solution now, otherwise she will really steal the advertising contract. Can you tolerate the sudden flying of something that you already have?"

"Of course," Sean spread his hands out of his surprise, "it's just an advertising contract."

The agent was stunned for a minute: "Sorry, did I hear something wrong?"

"If it was Budweiser, I would definitely go for it, but Blue Moon...frankly speaking, their beer is good, but the aftertaste of wheat is not as good as Budweiser," Sean explained, "So, if I filmed the Blue Moon commercial and was discovered by reporters to drink Budweiser, it would be very troublesome."

"Hey, this is not an endorsement, this is just an advertisement!" Frederick covered his head with a headache. "If it is an endorsement, I can ask for an endorsement fee of 2 million, not the current 800,000 advertising fee!"

"Is that true?" Sean still looked indifferent, "Well, you can tell the whole thing from beginning to end, Fred, don't have any regrets or concealment, can you?"

"...Okay." The agent sighed and said in detail about the previous incident, without much concealment. Of course, avoiding the most important things is definitely indispensable.

"I think their worries are normal. In fact, I am indeed troubled by some controversy now," Sean said, raising his hand to stop Frederick from speaking. "I admit that the great honor of being nominated for the Oscar is also quite stressful. You should know that there are many people who are dissatisfied with me compared to Revan Phoenix."

Indeed, because of Melanie Haas's original words, some media like to call Sean by Revan Phoenix the second, which attracted the attention of the debate. It was fine at the beginning, but after mentioning it a few more times, more people were dissatisfied, especially after Sean was nominated for Best Actor in the Oscar, Melanie Haas believed that this was also a kind of compensation for Revan Phoenix in the film school, which attracted hatred and the dissatisfaction became louder.

In fact, Haas was also very vague, just vaguely saying this, but he couldn't resist the interpretation of some media. For these guys, as long as they report them, they can attract attention and increase the sales of newspapers, it would be a good thing. As for the series of consequences caused, I'm sorry that no matter what they do, they just expressed their opinions.

Coupled with a series of issues such as age, the Oscar nomination certainly made Sean very glorious, but he was also in the whirlpool of controversy, and Blue Moon's considerations are understandable.

"I don't agree," Frederick is not that easy to give up. "In fact, my opinion is the opposite of you. The more you are in the whirlpool, the more you should highlight yourself. You are not the kind of person who follows the crowd at the beginning, think about it. How many actors can play the leading role in the works of a big director a year and a half after entering Hollywood, and have received quite good reviews? Your positioning should be different! You should challenge those things that seem impossible! You should tell everyone that you are not Rifan? Phoenix second, you are the unique Sean? Don!"

After saying this, he began to tempt: "Think about it, Sean, after only two or three days of working, he earned 800,000 yuan, which is easier than filming "Charlie's Angels". And this is also one of the ways to maintain popularity at present. Blue Moon is not as good as Budweiser, but it is also one of the top ten beers in North America. Anyway, you don't have the big production character you want for the time being, and this is just right."

"I knew that when you talk about this, you started talking big." Sean teased, "Okay, then let's make an appointment to meet."

"Are you sure?" Frederick was a little surprised, obviously not expecting Sean to speak so easily.

"Of course, I don't think my opinion is wrong, but what you said makes sense, so it's OK to make an appointment to meet." Sean nodded.

------

The next morning, Sean met Regis Johnson, the head of Blue Moon Beer in Los Angeles at Padley Cafe, at Padley Café, who was in his forties and was not tall and had a belly like most managers. The three of them did not get to the point directly at the beginning, but talked about something else, which was basically quite pleasant, and Johnson was also quite straightforward, so when Sean said some good things about Blue Moon Beer at Frederick's gesture, he brought out the things in high school.

"It's not enough aftertaste, but it's very refreshing. When we were having to drink at fast-paced parties in high school, we almost unanimously asked for Blue Moon beer," Sean said.

"That's true, I was like that when I was in high school, always choosing the kind of refreshing beer that I could drink as soon as possible." Johnson smiled and obviously recalled the past years.

But this did not stop him from conveying his opinion: "But, Sean, this is the problem. It doesn't matter if you are one year older, the number 19 is too conspicuous."

Every time this time comes, Frederick will jump out and change the topic. In fact, as long as he talks about serious matters, he will soon interrupt and say something else, as if he is not here today to win an advertising contract.

"Yes, I listen to my favorite music or songs after work, and my previous fatigue was wiped out." After Johnson casually said something about music, Frederick immediately followed it. "I personally like classical piano music, of course, I can also listen to some rock music. I don't mind the music genre, as long as it sounds good."

"Look, this is the habit of modern people. I like too many things, so I can't have a deep understanding." Johnson quipped, "I only like one type of music, that is jazz."

"Is that so? It's a coincidence that Sean likes jazz too." Frederick said immediately, and Sean next to him immediately opened his eyes wide.

But before he could speak, the agent had already kicked him under the table, while Johnson showed an interesting look: "Oh? Sean likes jazz too?"

"I've heard some, but I'm not very proficient," said Shawn with a very hidden glare at Frederick. "I know there are several types of jazz, Latin, Classical, New Orleans, etc., and I also know that the top and seventh grade notes of the major scale are often lowered, and the melody is mostly divided into rhythm and triple notes, forming a light stress reversal, and the rhythm is mostly double beats, usually 4/4 beats, and some are 2/4 beats, etc., but it's not enough to understand it in detail."
