159. Chapter 159 Met the boss

"So, Fred, or I'll call Todd out now, or we'll go to the production company later, and you'll have an interview with him. Maybe you can discuss a plan, and wait for the film I'm a producer in two months to start, and then tell the reporter about this to promote me, and at the same time, you can promote the movie, right?" Sean said to his agent at the round table under the parasol.

After Sean brought Garen and Sanders to the cafe to meet Frederick, he discussed each other for about half an hour without any results, so he had to throw out the topic.

"First time as a filmmaker?" Frederick grinned, looking like a toothache. "As an actor, I didn't want to fight for a better role, but went to make a movie, and invested 5 million to produce it at a low cost..."

"That's better than nothing news, right?" At this time, Sanders usually speaks first. "Shawn is not without works. And as the most popular star at the beginning of the millennium, setting up his own production company and using his predecessor to make his first movie will attract more interest from the media and the public, right? Or can you not hype this topic?"

Frederick glared at him for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, I get it. I will communicate with Todd, so... what's next?"

Sean exchanged glances with Sanders, who then pulled out a well-bound booklet from the backpack he brought: "Sean thinks this script is pretty good, and I think so too."

The agent frowned immediately, took it and flipped two pages, and raised his head and looked at Sean and Sanders suspiciously, then quickly turned to the end.

"Hey, this should be a script placed in my office, how could it appear in your hands?" He screamed after confirming.

"I went to your office the day before yesterday, but you were not here, so I flipped through it casually. I happened to like this script, so I took it over." Sean explained briefly.

"It just happened to be a good shot, and then take it away...wait!" Frederick frowned when he thought of something.

"Well, I told Alice not to tell you for the time being, that's what I mean, don't make things difficult for her." Sean admitted, "I think this script is interesting, so I want to read it in detail, but I also know that if you know, you will definitely make a fuss again, so..."

He spread his hands and looked sincere, but this did not satisfy the agent.

"Remember what I told you, Sean?" Frederick said gritting his teeth, "Don't touch my assistant!"

"I didn't touch her, I just said a few words to her. You can't let me not even talk to her, right?" Sean said innocently. "If you are really worried about anything, Fred, why not hire a male assistant?"

"Male assistant?" Frederick sneered, "I certainly want to, but, my boss, the great and stingy tyrant, Ali Emmanuel once had a motto, if you hire a woman as an assistant, ten years later you will only get a mother with children; and if you hire a man as an assistant, ten years later you will get a competitor!"

"Like you?" Sean asked with his eyebrows raised.

"He is not qualified to be my competitor yet," a voice came from behind him before the agent could answer, "Also, Fred, do you really think I'm a stingy tyrant?"

Frederick immediately jumped from his seat and turned his head in disbelief. He was right behind him, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie was looking at him with interest. He looked about forty years old and had a little black hair, but his standard hooked nose still clearly told everyone that he had Jewish blood.

"Ai...Mr. Emmanuel, sorry, I don't know...I don't know you are here." Frederick, who has always liked to jump up and down, became nervous at this moment, and even stuttered in his speech, which opened his eyes to Sean and the others.

"Relax, Fred, I'm just coming out to chat with my friends, no need to do this." The other party raised his eyebrows and said.

"Don't be nervous, Fred, it's normal to be caught talking badly to the boss behind his back." A tall man sitting with Emmanuel smiled and joked.

"Hello, Mark." Frederick greeted awkwardly.

Emmanuel looked at Sean at this time: "Hello, Sean, I am Ali Emmanuel, one of the founders of Endeavour. I am very happy to see you. Believe me, I am definitely not a stingy tyrant."

"I don't think so either." Sean smiled and stood up to shake his hands.

"Frankly, although this is our first official meeting, you give me a very different feeling," Emmanuel said immediately. "I can't describe more about confidence, seriousness, passion, etc., but the things Fred said about you before should be credible, no wonder it can create miracles."

"Thank you, Mr. Emmanuel." Sean still felt flattered by the boss of an agency.

However, the other party's next sentence made him urge to roll his eyes: "Are you interested in letting me take your business on your behalf?"

Frederick immediately opened his eyes wide, and the nervous look that had just disappeared returned to his face again, and then looked at Sean uneasy.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Emmanuel, I think Fred is a competent agent, and although we often argue, we still get along like a family." Sean said with a smile, "So, sorry."

Emmanuel immediately laughed. Obviously, he was just saying that he was scaring Frederick. Even so, the agent was relieved.

However, it is not necessarily true that Emmanuel has no such meaning at all. Sean is still aware of it, and Ali Emmanuel is indeed very charming. When he looks straight in the eyes, it seems that everything he says is sincere, making people involuntarily want to believe him.

If Sean and Frederick hadn't worked together happily and had also come all the way from the lowest point, they might have really considered each other. After all, in addition to charm, Emmanuel's abilities are also among the best.

Even though he didn't have much time to come here, Sean has heard a lot of rumors about him. For example, just like CAA's founders Michael Orwitz, Ron Mayer and others worked in WMA's mailroom, Ali Emmanuel also worked in CAA's mailroom at the beginning. Later, he became an ICM agent and did a very good job. In the 1990s, while Orwitz and Meyer respectively switched to Disney and Global, resulting in CAA's leaderlessness. ICM took the opportunity to poach several of their important customers, which was done by Emmanuel.

However, just like all personnel changes in companies, Emmanuel, who was originally proud, believed that he should gain his due status in ICM, but CEO Marvin Josephson and several senior management personnel did not think so. So Emmanuel was angry and wanted to independent portal and pull a group of people away from the ICM. However, because of the leak of news, only three friends left together under his instigation and leadership. Hollywood called this infighting a midnight coup.

Later, Emmanuel established the Enjin Elite Brokerage Company in 1996, and in the second year he brought three partners from CAA, and brought a comedy star like Adam Sandler, so he quickly gained a foothold. To this day, although it has only been four years, everyone knows that as long as the Enjin Elite Brokerage Company does not have internal strife, it will sooner or later have its own seat in Hollywood.

"The next time is a great development, so it is absolutely the right thing to sign a contract with us. We strive to meet every request of our customers." Emmanuel said in front of the two pieces of tables, with an excited look, as if nothing could stump him.

"Is that so? Who was telling me just now, oh, don't think about that character, Mark, that's impossible." The tall man sitting next to him, who had been chatting with coffee before, asked in a questioning tone.

"I told you, Mark, that character is not suitable for you. You are now a muscle-like man, and it has nothing to do with that kind of character. And even in "Bully Night", you are a decadent man, not a soft-hearted young man." Emmanuel raised his eyebrows and looked at Sean, "What do you think, Sean?"

"I think Ali is right," Sean, who held back his smile, nodded, "You can play a good man with a personality, a rough and swearing policeman, a decadent and unruly adult actor, and agile special offer, but you can't connect with the young man at all."

"Okay, I won't say anything, it's just the performance of contrasting effects." The other party rolled his eyes and said, "It's so disappointing."

Mark Wahlberg, this is the man who has been with Emmanuel with coffee. He is 29 years old this year. He has entered the entertainment industry in 1994 and has appeared in 8 movies. He also starred in "Fight Against the Edge" with Zhou Runfa last year. The previous "Bully Night" is his famous work.

After teasing Frederick, Emmanuel did not return to his position, but instead called the waiter to come and put the two tables together, and then called Wahlberg, who was chatting with him, to come and chat.

As a result, Sean and the others had to put aside the previous discussion for the time being. Although this was a bit depressed, they did not send an invitation after all, and Frederick seemed very nervous all the time.
