257. Chapter 257 You owe me a movie

"Don't talk, don't talk, I know what you want to lose, Fred, I admit I was wrong, OK?" Sean raised his hand and said as Frederick opened his mouth.

The bright sunshine shines on the grass, and the few trees in the distance look lush and peaceful, with no slight turbulence on the lake reflecting the beautiful scenery. The breath of spring comes to your face, making you feel refreshed.

"Hey, I didn't say anything yet." The agent spread his hands and looked puzzled, but when he saw the slightest hint of grace between his eyebrows, he knew that this was pretending.

"You really think I can't see anything." Sean immediately gave him a blank look.

"Yes, if he is not proud of it, he will not be the wild Fred." Sanders teased from the side.

"Wild Fred? When did he get such a nickname?" Garen sang and said.

"It was just now that I originally described it as manic, but this may be a bit rude, so I changed the word." Sanders said seriously.

Frederick immediately picked up his arms and stared at the two guys, raised his eyebrows and looked angry but didn't say anything, as if he wanted to see what they said.

Sean then smiled and smoothed out: "Okay, no matter what, Fred is right this time. Although I can't be considered to have ignored the actor's work, I have indeed been too attentive in other aspects. So once the film works are gone, the popularity in this area will be far behind."

"You finally understand my painstaking efforts, Sean, this makes me so happy. Don't worry, it's still too late to catch up. I believe that when "Sniper Phone Booth" is released, everyone will change their opinions." Frederick pretended to be exaggerated and hugged him lightly.

"Fox hasn't decided the release date of "Sniper Phone Booth", Fred." Sanders said immediately.

"It's okay, there's "Fast and Furious" and "Perfect Thieves"..." Frederick paused at this point, as if he had thought of something and grinned, and then immediately recovered, "Of course, it would be better if he could play the leading actor in a big investment and high box office movie."

His eyes flashed a little, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, which seemed like a good thing.

Although Sean noticed it, he didn't think much about it and just asked, "Okay, what do you have to recommend?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have anything to recommend." The agent unexpectedly spread his hands.

"No?" Sean was surprised. How could this be possible?!

"Okay, there's one worth fighting for, but I don't think much of it." Frederick immediately changed his mouth.

"So do you have it, and yet?" Sanders did not miss any opportunity to tease him.

Frederick was not fooled, just looked at Sean: "Although the investment of over 100 million yuan, the producer is still the famous Jerry Brookheimer, and he made a lot of noise in a few days. When they solicit supporting roles, the ugly the better, but this is ultimately a pirate movie."

"Piracy Movie?" Sean raised his eyebrows. He remembered a series that should be the most famous Pirate Movie in the New Century. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this one.

"Yes, it's called Pirates of the Caribbean, and it's said there's a subtitle, but I haven't thought about it yet." Frederick shrugged. "You know, Pirates are rarely popular in Hollywood. "Cutting the Throat Island" a few years ago made it worse for MGM, whose financial situation wasn't very good."

"But it sounds good, but Brookheimer is still the producer." Sean said, rubbing his chin.

"Why, are you watching this movie?" Frederick asked, "I have to remind you, Sean, unless the North American box office of Fast and Furious and Sniper Phone Booth can exceed 100 million, don't try this script with too much uncertainty, even if you're watching this movie."

"Is that?" Sean looked at him with some hilariousness. "When did you start to become conservative, Fred?"

"I'm serious, Sean, if there was no success of "My Grand Greek Wedding" and the popularity of "YouRaiseMeUp", as long as you really want it, I would not hesitate to fight for you. But now the situation is different. If you really treat the actors as the homepage, don't touch pirate movies for the time being, even if there is a famous producer in charge." Frederick said very seriously.

Sean chuckled, pondered for a few seconds, then patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, Fred, I won't go, I'm not interested in this character, even if I do look forward to the prospect of the movie."

Speaking of this, he sighed in his heart. He really had to give up this opportunity completely. Although Sean had swear to say before that he would not consider competing for the role of "Pirates of the Caribbean", he was still a little moved after hearing the news of the movie's project.

In any case, Captain Jack Sparrow is a classic character. If he can successfully perform the role, he will definitely leave a lot of marks in film history.

This is not a difficult task. The role makes an actor. Without Johnny Depp, Sparrow is not Sparrow. Only ordinary people believe this idea. After all, this role is nothing more than orchid finger, sissy, and neurotic qualities, plus the just right and impressive smoky makeup of the makeup artist and prop teacher, it is not too difficult for any actor who has accumulated.

But the question is, what exactly Sean wants is a popular superstar who is huge in commercial value and can ask a large studio for a 50 million yuan pay and the other party has to greet him with a smile? Or is it an artist with wide connections, well-reputed reputation, and everyone praises everyone respects?

Maybe some people say, why can't these two things be done at the same time? That is the goal that people who achieve great things should have. Yes, this is indeed worth challenging. For Sean, who needs to do the best, but which one is the key point? Which one is the first or the second?

Don’t say that you have to go together. Too much will not make you chew it. In the end, both paths will not work. So, it is easier to take two paths? There is no doubt that the first one, although it has a lot of ups and downs, is indeed simple.

To discover your own commercial value, you only need to play the leading role in a box office movie, and gain the recognition of the audience, and think that you are the most suitable person for this role. Of course, if the commercial movie you star in is losing money and loses a lot, the commercial value will drop at an unexpected speed.

It is much more difficult to become an artist. Whether an actor has acting skills is a very subjective thing after all. The same performance is an excellent performance in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of some people, it is a pretending posture.

However, not everyone has the ability to think independently, and more people are still willing to believe in the standards, that is, the view of the judges of the Film Academy, namely the Academy Awards.

It is undeniable that with Hollywood's conquest of cities and lands all over the world, the attention of the Oscars has far exceeded that of other film awards. It seems that as long as it is recognized by the Oscars, it will be recognized by the whole world, even if this award is basically aimed at American movies.

If you want to win an Oscar, nomination depends on strength and luck. It is easier for Americans than foreigners, and it is easier for those who know how to communicate with public relations than those who do not know how to communicate. But even so, some people nominate several times in their lifetime but have not won a single award, and some people can ascend to the throne with their first nomination. Therefore, the Oscar Little Golden Man is something that every actor is eager to obtain, so... Sean chose this path.

There was a saying in my previous life that it is easy to start with difficult and it is not easy to start with easy. As mentioned above, it is not difficult to fully explore your own commercial value, and the commercial value is very unstable. If you just want to get a higher salary, you own Google shares and your own production company has also begun to grow, Sean doesn't need this at all.

As for proving one's ability and value, honor is undoubtedly more practical than high-box movies, especially when there is no shortage of money. More importantly, looking at the Oscars' Best Actor winners, which one of them has become the throne of the best actor after playing a series of top-notch commercial blockbusters?

Even the "Godfather" series is not a real big commercial series production. Moreover, Al Pacino, who should have won the best actor, has been delayed until the early 1990s and won the award at the "old age" of his early 50s. It was almost ten years late for the old rival Robert De Niro.

Sean doesn't have so much time to waste his time, and he doesn't plan to waste his years. Although there are still many problems to be solved, his ambitions are more than just winning awards.

So, even though there was such a big temptation in front of him, and Sean was really moved, he still chose to give up. Sometimes it is like this. Only by learning to give up can you gain more in the future.

However, after "Pirates of the Caribbean" is released, Frederick may be sad for several days, so he will ignore Sean's affairs - well, it's just a talk. If this is the case, Sean wouldn't say anything like "I'm really not interested in this character."

No matter what, my agent is still very competent. If you can do it, don’t attack him. If you can try to squeeze him, try to squeeze him as much as possible.

"Hey, when are you going to stay there? The kickoff is already done." Just as Sean and the others talked, a man in a hat, gray-blue T-shirt and trousers, holding a golf club.

"I told you, Mark, I don't know how to golf, you must ask me to do it. Do you want to see how I made a fool of myself?" Sean spread his hands at the other party.

"If you want to think so, then that's right." Mark Wahlberg laughed.

"You guy..." Sean rolled his eyes immediately.

"I think, since you can make a big shot by making a movie and release a song by just releasing it, you can definitely get good results when playing golf, right?" Wahlberg said seriously at first, and then laughed a few seconds later.
