160. Chapter 160 We had a happy conversation

"I know you like that boy, Fred. In fact, I think he is very good. The things I said before are not lies. It is impossible to be famous in this circle and within two years. Despite the luck factor, it is undeniable that his own abilities are also one of the reasons." In the bathroom, Emmanuel said to Frederick while washing his hands.

"But, as an agent, you need to communicate with customers with skills and have a longer vision. I listened to you as you were discussing making a movie with Sean before. He set up a production company. What do you think about this?" Emmanuel continued. When the faucet was turned off, Frederick naturally handed over a clean paper.

"I don't have much opinion. I just think he should focus on acting. I always hope he can play a role in a big production." Frederick explained briefly, "but he doesn't care much at the moment. The two movies this year are either supporting roles without many scenes, or the protagonists of low-cost independent films, and lack exposure."

"You see, that's the problem. Sometimes moderate concessions are necessary," Emmanuel patted his shoulder and walked out. "It's normal for you to worry like this, but don't forget about Sean's own charm. Think about it carefully, how many people do things like him that others can hardly do? As agents, we should not tell customers what they should do, but what choices they have and what are the advantages and disadvantages of these choices."

"Yes, I understand, just..." Frederick wanted to defend himself.

"Yes, you understand, but you can't do it," Emmanuel interrupted him, "We need passion, but we can't let passion control us. In this regard, Sean's nominal assistant is better than you. He knows who is the subject and how to serve the subject well. When I tested his attitude towards you just now, he not only didn't pick on you, but also helped him say a few good things. I think Sean plans to let him be his own agent, otherwise you won't be so tit-for-tat with him. It's a pity. I hope he can come to the mailroom to work in the rushing mailroom."

Frederick couldn't help but look depressed.

"Okay, Fred," Emmanuel laughed, "Actually, letting customers do their own things occasionally, and trying setbacks is not a bad thing. As long as you are good at using all the factors that can be used. For example, Sean made a movie and then failed, and his popularity was sluggish. What should I do? It's very simple, let him disappear for two or three months, and then play the tragedy card. If it works well, it only takes a few days to make him famous again. You are a good guy, Fred, you are also an inspiring old employee, and I hope you can keep it."

Although Fenjin Elite Brokerage has gained a foothold and has begun to take shape, it is still very eager for celebrity customers. So when Sean became famous overnight, Frederick had his own office without highlights.

"I can, Ali." Frederick nodded, and then said carefully: "I personally think we may be able to expand the scope. It was under our recommendation that Todd Vladimir went to Shaun's production company as general manager."

"I heard about this, you did a good job, and the company would consider these suggestions," Emmanuel patted his shoulder again, "Come on, Fred, maybe in the near future, you will become a partner in the company. After all, we are not as stingy as ICM."

Partner? Frederick couldn't help but take a deep breath. Becoming a partner in an agency is the wish of every agent, which means identity, status, power, and wealth. So, even though he knew that this was just a tempting prospect that Emmanuel showed him, but could not touch, but he still couldn't help but surging fighting spirit.

When Emmanuel and Frederick went to the bathroom together and talked about it, Sean and the others got along very happily with Mark Wahlberg at the round table.

"You already have your own production company? And you have set up specific departments? You're really big, Sean." Wahlberg said in surprise after hearing about Sean's production company, "I just set up a production company this year, but like most people, it's a shell company."

Then he asked half-jokingly: "Why, are you going to change your career so soon to become a producer?"

"No, I just think it's a bit rash to use shell companies to make movies. In addition to making money, I also want to make some interesting movies that I like." Sean said a little high-sounding.

"Do you know how much it costs to maintain a company?" Wahlberg became more and more surprised. "Of course, I'm not going to mock you, I just felt surprised. After all, few people do this, and you're still an actor."

"Some things have to be tried before you can be content. Just like you, Mark, if someone thinks you have a good voice, hope you can produce a single, and write a good song in detail, what would you do?" Sean cleverly changed the subject.

"Well...well, I admit I'll be very moved." Wahlberg said and laughed.

Before becoming an actor, he also did a lot of work, such as forming an orchestra with his brother, releasing his own records, and working as a model. He was able to become an actor thanks to his underwear advertisement. Although he has not released any more records, he has always liked singing. Just now, he even sang a chorus with Sean on "Hotel in California".

"Then you do it well. Maybe in a few years, I will ask you for a role." Wahlberg smiled and patted Sean on the shoulder.

"No problem. In my opinion, the most important thing that Hollywood should promote is an actor like you." Sean said seriously.

"Because I've been in prison?" Although Wahlberg still had a smile on his face, he looked something unidentified.

Born in a slum in Boston, Wahlberg has been a little brave and has done many illegal hookups, such as selling marijuana or racial discrimination. He has been arrested by police several times. When he gave up singing and did something else, he was revealed because of racial discrimination. He was 15 years old and attacked a middle-aged Vietnamese man on the street and blinded one of the other's eyes. He was charged with attempted murder, but in the end he only admitted to the assault and sentenced to two years in prison.

Although he was actually imprisoned for only 45 days because he was underage, it still had a huge impact. Although the first record was popular and sold well, the second record was very bad, and he eventually had to give up being a singer.

"Yes," Sean said without a pause at all. "Although you have been prosecuted and stayed in prison, you have changed now, right? Even if I don't know you very much, the people around you should know you, right? I can clearly outline the trajectory of starting from the most basic thing and becoming an excellent actor step by step in my head. Although you are not as good as those big names now, I believe that it will be a matter of time sooner or later. If you can't succeed if you reform yourself, then how can we believe that this world gives people hope?"

Then, after a long period of silence, the two of them suddenly laughed together, and reached out to exchange slaps at the same time, making a crisp sound of banging.

"Thank you, Sean, I'm glad to meet you." Wahlberg said very seriously.

"So too, Mark." Sean was the same, and then half-jokingly said: "Don't worry, when my production company develops, I will tailor a movie for you, a movie with huge contrast, allowing you to play the niche face."

"Oh? Is it? Are you sure?" Wahlberg raised his eyebrows.

"Well... Besides movies, we can also make TV series." Sean immediately changed his words, and there was another burst of laughter.

"Then I'll wait for you." Seeing Emmanuel coming, Wahlberg stood up.

Frankly speaking, Sean's words were indeed a bit of a boast. It is said that Wahlberg interrupted his neighbor's jawbone when he was 21 years old. But many times, the first impression is very important. No matter what Wahlberg did in the past, the one who appears in front of Sean is a mature, gentle and graceful man. And he came with Frederick's boss, and his relationship looks good, so it's not bad to get to know him.

Besides, Sean's previous words were not wrong. Even if he didn't understand him, the people around him must know him, right? Before that, he had never heard of any rumors of violence. Of course, some people might say that this is the ability of agents and public relations, and that would be a matter of opinion.

More importantly, Sean had a vague impression of Wahlberg in his head, and he was also very keen on his appetite. Both of them were very straightforward. Once they got familiar with each other and thought the other party was good, they would say something. Many of the previous gossips about Wahlberg were what he said just now, so Sean had a good impression of him, so he had nothing to do for the time being, so he made a lot of short checks.

Of course, Sean didn't expect what interesting chemical reaction would acquaintance with Wahlberg and those blank checks they wrote.

"Okay, guys, they're gone, where are we?" Sean said to the three of them after watching Emmanuel and Wahlberg leave.

"What else can you do? Find a place or just have dinner here, and then go home and continue discussing what has not been achieved today." It was not Frederick who spoke but Sanders.

"Wow, did you steal someone's line, Sandy?" Sean teased unexpectedly.

"If he snatches lines like this every day, I would be very happy." Frederick said immediately.

"You look a little different, too." Sean continued to keep his unexpected gaze.

"Of course, if your boss tells you to do it well, you might be a partner in the future. Even if you know it is very far away, you will feel energetic." The agent shrugged.

"It's really good news, so let's celebrate, how about it?" Sean said immediately, "Fred treats to you."
