"The key lies in the elongated ups and downs. The rhythmic dynamic seems to have magic, which will make people twist unconsciously. The charm of jazz is probably here." Sean described it with a scrape, while Johnson next to him frowned slightly, not knowing whether he was thinking or simply dissatisfied.

"Anyway, this is my opinion. It may be very incomplete and even very biased, but it is indeed my opinion." Sean added immediately.

Johnson still looked like that, pinching his chin, as if he was suspicious of something, which made Sean smile bitterly in his heart.

Surprisingly, a few seconds later, the Los Angeles head of Blue Moon Beer laughed and patted his hands gently: "You said it well, Sean, I have never considered it from this perspective. Few young people are as mature as you, no wonder they can perform so well in "Genius Ripley".

Listening to these words, Sean, who had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then-

"Hell, what are you doing, Fred?!" Taking advantage of Johnson's time to go to the bathroom, Sean lowered his voice and asked his agent in annoyance.

"Didn't you say it before? Do you do everything you can to make him feel good about you, deepen your impression in him, and make him change his mind." Frederick said quickly.

"Of course I know, I have been cooperating with you before, from complimenting Blue Moon Beer to French lobster to Yellowstone, I have cooperated well, but what's going on with jazz?" Sean was very unhappy. "I can cooperate with the rest, because I did, but I have never heard of jazz. If it weren't for my guitar, I had also sang in the bar, and I had some understanding, otherwise I wouldn't have said a word just now! Do you know what the consequences will be?!"

"It is because you understand music that I guide the topic like this. Don't think I'm a fool, Sean, I can choose the topic." Frederick said defendingly.

"Can choose topics? I was almost speechless just now, and that form of expression was basically nonsense!" Sean was so angry that he was not angry, "If it weren't for the good luck, he would have been exposed long ago!"

"Yes, I know, but the effect has been achieved, right?" Frederick sighed, "Don't think so much, Sean, since Anna can take advantage of the opportunity of Blue Moon headquarters to lobby Regis with the opportunity of the branch's actions being more conservative, then we can do anything to do."

Sean rolled his eyes and was about to speak. Johnson had already returned from the bathroom, so he had to close his mouth. But Johnson did not speak anymore, but sat there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. Frederick wanted to speak several times to liven up the atmosphere, but was stopped by Sean with his eyes.

"I'm so glad to meet you today, Sean," he finally spoke after a moment. "I have to admit that it was a pleasant meeting. You surprised me. There was no such feeling that young man... Although we didn't discuss the contract, but, as you said before, there were things that always have to be tried. Although the headquarters asked us to act carefully, I think sometimes it was possible to take risks, what do you think?"

"Thank you, Mr. Johnson." Sean immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so strange many times. It's obvious that something doesn't care about at the beginning and feels it's optional. However, once you get involved, or if you enter the role, you will unknowingly forget your original idea and think about success.

Just like Sean, after basically getting the advertising contract, he realized that he didn't seem to have to get it before. However, he didn't care too much. Anyway, he could earn $800,000 in three or four days of work, and he could still maintain popularity. It was also very good to get it, so what is important now is another thing.

"You look happy and ridiculed Anna again?" Sean asked after Frederick gave the contract.

"Why not?" The agent did not deny it. "You know, if she hadn't intervened halfway through the rules, we wouldn't have to find a way to continue to win over Johnson. Oh, it would be great to see her unwilling appearance."

"Is it a violation of the rules for intervening in the middle?" Sean couldn't help but muttered, covering his forehead, and then his face said: "Okay, Fred, come to the living room, I have something to say to you."

"Why, I plan to give me another 1% commission," the agent who came to the living room asked quippedly.

"Of course not," Sean looked at him seriously. "Fred, you're an excellent agent. We've worked together happily along the way, so I don't want any problems between us."

"Is there...is there something wrong?" Frederick also became serious.

"Of course, I hope that any decision related to me will be decided by me, not you," Sean said one by one. "You can convince me, but you can't make a decision for me."

"I...I didn't make a decision for you?" Did Frederick look obviously confused?

"No? I won't say that I forcefully recommend the audition for Pearl Harbor. I told Regis Johnson without even asking, I'm very knowledgeable about jazz." Sean sighed, "You make me very unhappy, Fred."

"But..." Frederick wanted to defend himself.

"I know what you want to say, Fred, and I admit that you are thinking about me, but I don't like this way," Sean interrupted.

The agent grabbed his head in annoyed manner, then looked around thinking about something, and then his eyes locked on Sanders sitting beside the door.

"It has nothing to do with Sandy, it's really my point of view." Sean knew what he was thinking, and his tone became sincere. "We worked together in the most difficult times, and I always remember what you looked like when you said you would help me that day. Fred, promised me and try to convince me in the future, rather than decide what happened for me."

"...Okay, I promise you." Frederick was silent for a few minutes, then let out a long sigh.

"Please say something interesting," Galen came out to smooth things out without missing the opportunity. "I heard from Sean that he impressed the person in charge of Blue Moon Beer in Los Angeles with his fabricated jazz comments before signing this advertising contract - will we have free Blue Moon Beer in the future?"

"Don't think about it. If it's an endorsement, there are indeed free beer and this year, but this is just an advertisement, so..." Frederick thought for a while, "I'll provide about a few boxes. For Sean's Oscar nomination for Best Actor, maybe a few more boxes than others."

"That's not bad. When we were in the car dealership, Sean waived several thousand dollars in one signature. There are so many benefits to being a star." Garen laughed.

"Is that so? How about letting Fred find a character for you?" Sean quipped immediately.

"No problem, although Garen's image is more oriental, it is not without a suitable role." Frederick immediately made a statement.

"I'll agree first, you have to hire another assistant. I can only be responsible for one person's affairs." Sanders also inserted it.

Then, several people laughed, and the dull atmosphere that had been previously slowly dissipated, and more and more topics were discussed.

"That is to say, even if you just get an Oscar nomination, the value of a star will be higher?" Garen asked after talking about Sean's nomination.

"That's right, especially Sean is basically the third youngest nominee. He has not been under the age of 20 for decades. These are all capital. In addition to Sean's outstanding performance, the Oscar nomination is also one of the important reasons for being able to successfully obtain the advertising contract for Blue Moon Beer this time." Frederick nodded.

Then, he remembered something: "By the way, the new line has a complete cessation, which has a lot to do with this."

"The new line has completely stopped? What's going on?" Sean asked strangely.

"Of course it's the dividend contract for Lord of the Rings." The agent spread his hands.

"Isn't that done?" Sean became even more strange.

"Yes, but it's not that easy to deal with," Frederick shook his head. "When I was in New Zealand, it was just a letter of intent. After returning to Los Angeles, I went to the new line company several times before it was officially decided. Even so, there were still repeated from time to time. There were always people who jumped out and said that it was too overestimated for a newcomer to want such a contract, even if he set quite harsh prerequisites."

"Then why no one mentioned it at the beginning?" Sean asked again.

"Let me put it this way, Robert Shay, the two founders of the new line, are more emotional and good at taking risks, so he will support Peter Jackson in making the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Michael Lynn is very rational and always cares about it, so he objected to many things, such as supporting the "Lord of the Rings" movie version, or giving you a dividend contract." Frederick explained.

"In short, Shay made the decision on my contract, and then Lynn found out and felt dissatisfied, so he wanted to change the contract?" Shawn touched his chin, "Okay, this guy is very visionary."

"It's almost the case, mainly the people below are arguing, but after "Genius Ripley" is released, this sound will be much smaller inside the new line. After you get the Oscar nomination, it will completely calm down. Some people even say that this is a very cost-effective transaction." The agent smiled, "They are probably thinking about how to hype it up at that time."

Sean grinned and asked again, "By the way, Fred, how much dividends can I get then?"

"When the time comes?" Frederick couldn't help but sigh, "It depends on how much the total box office can be, if it can exceed the line stipulated in the contract."

"Then I set the first one... the global box office will be 800 million," Sean thought for a while, "How many can I get at that time?"

"800 million?" The agent raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then shrugged indifferently, "Let me think about it... about 1.5 million to 2 million."
