166. Chapter 166 There are always twists and turns
The audition was very successful, at least that's what Fredrake said. As soon as the crew of "Sniper Telephone Booth" finished the interview, he began to find out the news. He was indeed a qualified agent.
"Schumacher was surprised. He didn't expect you to perform so well. He was very satisfied. Zach didn't say anything, but he should think seriously about his appearance, it depends on your performance in the interview, Sean." That's what he said.
This made Sean breathe a little relieved. Although the applause after the audition was heard in his ears, he did not know what Zach and Schumacher really thought. Frederick's words might have exaggerated elements, but he would definitely not be aimless. His careful performance was recognized.
However, what is surprising is that the interview should have been done soon. The audition has ended. Of course, the sooner the role should be decided, the better. However, after three or four days, there was no movement. Including the time of the audition, it would take another week to delay it.
At this moment, Frederick, who had been inquiring about the news before, came to the door and asked, "Have you ever contacted other people in the crew?"
"Is there any problem?" Sanders instinctively asked unceremoniously.
But Sean immediately took over the conversation: "We had some communication with Larry Cohen, the screenwriter of "Sniper Telephone Booth" and had a discussion about the ending."
The agent's face looked very bad, and he looked in a bad mood, as if something important happened, so Sean spoke before Sanders stimulated him.
"Damn!" As soon as he heard this, Frederick shouted immediately, "I knew, I knew! Why can't you stay at home quietly! Why do you always like to act on your own? It's okay if you do it yourself, why don't you tell me after doing it!"
He gritted his teeth and grabbed his hair hard, as if he wanted to throw something to the ground.
"Okay, Fred, let's talk about what happened first." Sean said comfortingly.
After venting, the agent finally regained his rationality. After sighing, he briefly said: "Originally, Zach and Schumacher had reached a consensus to a certain extent. They both thought you could give it a try, but they finally confirmed that it would be necessary to be after the interview. But at this time, the screenwriter, Larry Cohen, ran over and said that he wanted to modify the script! Damn, why didn't that guy look for another time! Schumacher thought it could be negotiated after discussing with him, but Zach had strong objections after hearing about it. Then he heard from Cohen that it was you who gave him inspiration and finally said that if this is the case, then you will no longer consider you as the male lead!"
"How could this happen?" Sanders couldn't help but scream.
"Why, of course, did you not think of this consequence when you instigated Sean to contact Cohen?!" Frederick opened his eyes and asked loudly without hesitation, "Don't think I don't know, only you will give Sean such a stupid idea!"
Sanders' face turned red suddenly, but he couldn't say anything for a long time, but his lips were tightly tense.
"Why did Fred and Zach react so fiercely?" Sean came out to smooth things out.
"How do I know," Frederick said depressedly, "I'm not God, I can only find out this. Maybe he thinks it's an offense to get around him and the screenwriter directly. Maybe he thinks that his authority on the crew is challenged, and it's possible."
Sean frowned, but was not very anxious. He had experienced so many things, and now he was able to achieve a certain degree of resentment and disgrace.
"What's the situation right now?" he asked.
"It's still a stalemate," Frederick sighed, "I don't know whether you should say whether you are lucky or bad. As a director, Schumacher and Cohen are old acquaintances, so this time they stood on his side. Although they didn't make it clear that you must be the protagonist, it shouldn't be a problem if Cohen supports you."
"So..." Sean pinched his chin, "Where is Fox?"
"The only one who makes the movie is a small production company under 20th Century Fox. As long as the two sides do not make a fuss or even the conflicts are public, they will not be interested in engaging in these matters!" The agent shook his head.
"Then you still drag me to various parties and cocktail parties?" Sean rolled his eyes.
"It's better to know them than not. Not helping today does not mean that tomorrow is not helping." Frederick spread his hands.
"What should I do now?" The question went back to the beginning, but no one had a better way for a while. Sanders, who was hit, must be unable to think of anything now, while Frederick and Sean were restrained by insufficient intelligence and could not make a judgment for the time being, and then Galen finally stood up without saying anything.
"Can they persuade them to have an interview with Sean?" he asked.
"Interview? Now? It's unlikely." Frederick was a little surprised, "and why the interview was."
"You are temporarily isolated, right? So we can't know what kind of relationship they are in. If we want to reverse the current form, we must communicate with them, so we find a way to arrange a meeting, whether it is pretending to meet by chance or coming to the door directly, whether it is in a public place or a private residence, as long as we can sit down and talk together." Garen quickly explained, "Only communication can solve the problem."
Sean and Frederick pondered at the same time, and then Galen added: "Of course, this is a gambling. If Sean can straighten out and eliminate their conflicts through communication, then there is no need to say more about what happened next, but if it cannot, there will be no next time."
"It's okay, you can try it." Sean quickly made a decision and looked at Frederick.
"Okay, I'll find a way to arrange it." The agent nodded.
This matter is relatively simple, and Schumacher definitely doesn't want Zach and Cohen to have a falling out, so when Frederick finally seized the opportunity to meet him and talked about it, Schumacher agreed to lend the residence and call Zach to ask him out for a while. The difficulty lies in how to make Zach meet Shawn without arousing bad memories, thus losing his temper, and leading to the failure of the interview.
However, Cohen solved the problem. After the three of them met, Frederick should have pretended to come to the door by chance to take the lead. First test Zach's attitude, and then Sean adjusted his strategy based on this and came over in the same way. Unexpectedly, for confidentiality, Cohen, who was not informed of the specific situation, knew that Frederick was Sean's agent, immediately proposed to call Sean over and chat. Although Zach frowned and made him stand out with a very unhappy expression, he did not object directly. Frederick immediately and Schumacher made him agree.
"I'm glad to see you again, Mr. Zach, Mr. Schumacher, and Mr. Cohen." Sean politely greeted them.
Schumacher and Cohen responded, but Zach just snorted, and after a while, he nodded slightly, his face still gloomy.
"Do you know why you came here?" After Sean sat down, he was the first to ask.
Although he was a little rude, Sean just raised his eyebrows: "Yes, I know, so I want to ask, Mr. Zach, why do you think the script cannot be changed?"
"All our preparations were carried out according to the original script. Now we suddenly said we would change. What about our previous preparations?" Zach looked bad.
Sean chuckled immediately: "So as you say, Mr. Zach, all scripts cannot be changed during filming?"
"The changes during shooting are the changes during shooting, and the changes during preparation are the changes during preparation." Zach frowned, but still looked as if nothing had happened.
Looking at Schumacher and Cohen, they both smiled bitterly. It seems that this is not the first time. Well, it is indeed a matter of power. Frederick is right. Cohen proposed to modify the script, but because of the discussion with Sean, David Zach, as the producer, was offended.
Power is so important? Yes, power is so important, so... what should I do?
"Can I know, I must not change a single line?" Sean asked immediately. Zach opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and then he looked at Sean's expression becoming even more unpredictable.
This is undoubtedly a trap. Once Zach admits this, it is equivalent to having sex with Cohen. Schumacher will definitely stand on Cohen's side in this case. Although the power of the director and the screenwriter are not as good as the producer, and there are also Hollywood directors, Schumacher is a qualified director after all, and his connections are not comparable to ordinary people. If it is for this reason, if he makes a sex with others, he will make a big fuss even if he wins in the end, he will inevitably cause a huge storm.
So Zach, who looked ugly with a very dissatisfied look at Sean. At the same time, Schumacher and Cohen also showed unexpected expressions. They obviously did not expect that Sean would have a complete showdown as soon as he came.
"Okay, then I'll talk about my affairs first," Sean said calmly at this moment. "I want to apologize to you and Mr. Schumacher, apologize very seriously and sincerely. I shouldn't talk about this with Mr. Cohen when I need to keep it a secret. Although we met by chance in the bar. However, I like this character very much. I want to get him and I want to express my opinion. This is my fault. I'm very sorry."
As soon as these words came out, the three people in the room were surprised again and looked at each other, completely unsure of what he wanted to do.
"Even so, I still want to say that the ending of the script should be revised. Although I am just a young actor and may not have gotten this role, I still want to express my opinion because it is a very wonderful story." Sean said immediately, his tone was quite sincere.
Then he looked at Zach: "So, I want to ask, Mr. Zach, in your opinion, how do we modify it and what should we pay attention to?"
The expressions of the three people began to become a little weird. Cohen was secretly happy, Schumacher was appreciating, and Zach was surprised.
