"You said, there is no problem with me doing this." Sean, who heard Frederick's complaining tone, teased.

"I haven't said that. It was Sandy, your best friend." The agent hummed.

"But you didn't object." Sean reminded.

"But I didn't agree, either." Frederick immediately retorted.

"Hey, Fred, don't tell you, you want to go back on your word." Sean asked half-jokingly.

"How is that possible? Ali personally told me to meet your requirements as much as possible and to keep you as much as possible." Frederick still had the tone of complaining, and Shawn burst into laughter.

It’s not a big deal for Ali Emmanuel to tell Frederick that the entire creative team of the movie “My Grand Greek Wedding” is recommended by Fenjin Agency, and the customary term is called packaging. In short, you need to use the scripts of the screenwriter who signed with our agency to make movies, or use the actors who signed with our agency to play the leading role, and at the same time, you need to use the directors, venues, lighting artists and props who signed with our agency to play the contract.

This set of rules was first invented by Michael Orwitz, the founder of CAA, and thus promoted the development and growth of CAA. Joining CAA can get more opportunities, so naturally everyone wants to sign a contract with them. Afterwards, various brokerage companies also used this set, so major film companies began to complain, which made them less likely to lower prices and promote people.

In fact, packing and selling is not as magical as some critics say, as if the agency is in power and can be arrogant in Hollywood. Packing and selling has a certain positive effect to some extent. Many directors and actors, deputy directors, director assistants, etc. are used to working together, and they know each other’s thoughts. If they make movies together, they will have to get much faster.

But because of this, if a director has a very good relationship with an actor, the director must have the actor as the male lead in his own movie, and the actor must also have the actor working with the director. Even if they belong to different agency companies, the agency company cannot forcefully package it, otherwise the one waiting for them will definitely be poaching other agency companies.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the director and actor are both very well-known characters and have no say, so no one cares.

In addition, large studios can also choose to ignore it. After all, they are actors who make roles, not actors who make roles. Without your artistic director, actors cannot join the crew. So please, anyway, some actors may be able to discover better guys. So in front of large studios, the agency company only packs second- and third-tier actors, or some cheap and beautiful lighting and props.

The real headache is those second-tier and even independent film production companies. Sometimes they really want to agree or not.

Okay, the topic is too far-fetched. Go back to this "My Grand Greek Wedding". Because Sean got the script from Fenjin, and the production company was newly established, the budget was very low, so he couldn't afford a big name, so the entire production team simply chose Fenjin from Fenjin, so Ali and the others could claim that this movie was created by their Fenjin elite agency.

What kind of brokerage companies are most attractive to customers, and those with opportunities and vision can win opportunities, and they can win good opportunities. Therefore, for the development of the progress, the hot sale of "My Grand Greek Wedding", created entirely by their clients, is an excellent way to promote.

It’s still Frederick’s words, here, in Hollywood, whoever can bring more profits with movies will be more sought after.

"Okay, maybe I can find a chance to ask him personally." After laughing, Sean suddenly said this.

"Hey, Sean, I've explained it to you." As soon as he heard this, Frederick knew what he wanted to do and immediately spoke out to stop him.

"I know, don't worry, I'm just talking." Sean sighed, a little unwilling to accept it.

Before this, there was a good opportunity in front of him, and he found Brad Pitt on the Global side, hoping that he could play the leading role in a movie about agents called "Spy Shadows" that will be launched in July and August. Unfortunately, the brainless Pitt has agreed to the invitation of another movie, a movie that happened in that country on the West Coast of the Pacific, which is also related to spies.

The reason why he is brainless means that he took on such a stupid movie after "Seven Years of Tibet", which completely blocked his trans-Pacific landing. Of course, then again, who would have expected that China would become the largest overseas box office source in the United States in ten years? What's more, Robert Rayford, who had a good reputation for Pitt, served as another starring actor.

However, Sean didn't care at all. After Pete made a choice, he naturally had to bear the consequences that followed, even if he couldn't control the future changes. What Sean cared about was naturally the male lead in "The Spy Shadow". This movie naturally had an impression of it in the previous life. If you can get it, it would not be a problem to become an A-level actor.

So he quickly notified Frederick and chatted with the Global producer of the "Fast and Furious" crew. I think he had an Oscar nomination, and two good works, "The Genius Ripley" and "The God of Death are Coming". In addition, he has successfully produced a big-selling movie and is also one of the leading actors in the Universal racing movie. Even if he can't win 100%, there should be an audition opportunity, right?

Frederick thought so, and was very happy because Sean finally took the initiative to fight for a leading actor in a big production. Although he inquired, the budget for the movie was only 60 million, but it was adapted from the best-selling novel by the famous writer Robert Ludham, which is the basis for a big sale.

However, Frederick agreed enthusiastically in the morning, but in the afternoon he called Sean dejectedly and told him that there was no chance.

"Ali promised Whitesell that he would personally win the leading actor in "Spy Shadows" for Damon." The agent said so depressedly.

"Wait, Fred, what are you talking about, who is Damon, who is Whitesel, and how did Ali have a relationship with them?" Sean asked in confusion.

Frederick sighed and then began to say in detail. It turned out that not long ago, the famous agent Patrick Whitesell jumped from CAA to Strive and became the second largest partner. While he changed jobs, he also brought Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Although his other two agents, Drew Barrymore and Jennifer Aniston, did not follow, he poached a group of teams, including Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and Sean's old acquaintance Jude Law.

When Whitesell joined, he made it clear to Alibaba that he could not treat the customers who came with him. Alibaba naturally agreed to it that the newly joined customers must be treated well, otherwise who will do it in the future.

It just so happened that Universal had contacted several actors and even considered Stallone, but in the end there was no result. Then director Doug Liman took a fancy to Damon, and Damon also wanted this role, so Ali said that he would personally operate for him and do his best to win the contract.

"I know what you want to say, but Sean, Ali is different from me. I'm not afraid of him... Well, I admit there is one thing, but the connections and qualifications he has are incomparable to me. This is a fact. So, unless you can handle the director and there are people with weight like he recommends you like last time, there is no hope at all." Frederick said this at the end, and said it sincerely.

Since that was the case, Sean had to give up this plan, but he had to feel unwilling. Fortunately, he soon discovered another opportunity. If he could handle it, he might not have gained much less than "Spy Shadows", and what he was going to see now are the two brothers who could bring all this.

"Okay, you'd better come here quickly, the time is coming." Frederick said at this time, "If you really want to do something, it's better not to be late."

Finally, he added: "Take care, Sean."

"Don't worry, my body has always been great." Sean smiled and shook his head, then hung up the phone.

"I think Fred is right, you should pay attention to your health," said Garen, who was driving the car. "I heard that the movie is about to start filming, so that you have to play roles in the three-step movie at the same time. Do you really have that much time, Sean? It seems that the movie will be filmed in Alaska on the spot. And you have to attend the Cannes Film Festival. I really don't know what you are thinking. If you were planning to take "My Grand Greek Wedding" to the Cannes Film Festival to participate in the exhibition, there is still a reason for you to go there, but now you have to go there when time is so tight..."

"Of course there is something important." Sean said lazily, but refused to utter another word.

"I know, because Nami's work is going to participate, right?" Garen sighed.

Sean didn't say anything, rubbed his nose and didn't seem to plan to continue the topic: "Just like I said to Fred before, don't worry, my role in "Eleven Arhat" is almost the same. If you are lucky, it will be completed in about three days at most, while "Fast and Furious" will only last half a month at most, so as long as they delay my role until late June, there will be basically no problem."

"Okay, okay, since you have already arranged it, then do whatever you want." Garen shook his head and sighed.

After more than ten minutes, they came to a cafe together, which was the cafe of Ali Emmanuel last time. After meeting Frederick here, they waited for about five minutes. When the clock on the wall pointed to 4 o'clock, two brothers in casual clothes, who looked a little similar, entered the cafe together and walked towards them.
