"First of all, I want to say that Scorsese is a very nostalgic person, and he is more accustomed to working with familiar people." After Sean came to Frederick's office, the agent said this one.

"Everyone who is familiar with starts with the first collaboration." Sean shrugged indifferently.

"That's it, you should also know that Sean is not the time when Scorsese became famous more than ten years ago." Frederick reminded calmly, "At that time, as long as he has acting skills and vision and willingness to give, he would be attracted by him, such as Robert De Niro. But he is now a major international director, and countless people want to work with him. Why can you join in and make him look at him?"

"I can lower the price." Sean thought for a while and said this.

In normal times, Frederick would definitely have to hit the wall and shout "I finally put you..." or something. But today his performance was surprising. Although he still covered his face and seemed a little depressed, he quickly raised his head and looked at him.

"What if someone drops more than you?" he asked, and continued without waiting for the answer: "What if someone doesn't want a pay? What if someone doesn't want a pay? What if someone doesn't want a pay and helps to invest?"

With his hands raised, Sean still didn't care much: "That's your business, Fred, are you my agent."

"Yes, yes, I'm your agent," Frederick sighed, pushing the stack of materials that had been on the table in front of him. "The budget is currently 90 million, but I believe this will definitely not be the final investment. Warner and Miramax are involved. The preliminary preparations are halfway through. Casting is currently being cast. If you want to join, you have to hurry up."

Sean looked at him with some surprise: "Why are you so happy today?"

"Because I am your agent," Frederick shrugged and hummed in dissatisfaction. "As your agent, the first thing to understand is that once you decide what you want, you must try to fight for it, because unless you prove that you are wrong, you cannot turn back, and the worst thing is that you never make mistakes."

"You're too exaggerating." Sean laughed.

Unfortunately, the agent ignored it and said to himself: "You have to pay attention that Martin Scorsese admires those actors who are capable and willing to work harder, and hates those actors who are directly handed over the information to the front and do not audition again. So if you want to borrow the connections between Warner and Miramax to say to you, you should give up this idea. Moreover, Scorsese has the final say in this movie, at most let them recommend you. How about it depends on your own efforts."

"It should be like this." Sean was not very worried.

"Also," Frederick said, "if you have the confidence to go to the end, your biggest opponent should be Leonardo DiCaprio, who worked with Scorsese on The New York Gangsters last year - remember what I just said?"

"He's nostalgic." Sean immediately continued.

"That's right, so you have to work harder." The agent spread his hands.

"The least worry about is hard work." Sean said and stood up, "Then let it go, the others will still ask you."

Want to face Leonardo DiCaprio? Well, this is indeed a problem. If he hadn't worked with Scorsese, Sean should not be afraid, but it is said that the relationship between the two is quite good, so it is a bit tricky. It is probably because of the other party's tragic Oscar journey and participating in the blockbuster "Titanic". Sean has some memories of him, and he vaguely remembers that DiCaprio and Scorsese have worked with more than once.

In this way, coupled with Scorsese's nostalgia personality, as Frederick said, is Sean's biggest opponent.

"We have to win by surprise," he said to Garen and Sanders.

"How can you win unexpectedly? Pretend to meet Scorsese at the party?" Garen asked, pinching his chin.

"I'm afraid not," Sanders took the lead in rejecting the idea before Sean spoke. "Since Fred said that Scorsese hates those who hand the information directly in front of him, he may not necessarily like people who deliberately meet at a party and then recommend it himself."

"What if you don't try?" Garen retorted, "as long as you are careful, he may not be able to tell that we did it on purpose."

Sanders still shook his head: "I mean, according to Fred, Scorsese should be the kind of actor who likes to follow the rules and work hard to polish his acting skills and move forward step by step, rather than those who take advantage of the situation."

"We cannot be sure what kind of person Scorsese is. Fred's description is just one-sided, but we are really not in contact with him directly now," Sean sighed, "It is even more impossible to dress up and show himself to the door like before. We have no intersection with him."

"Maybe..." Sanders suddenly thought of something and said, then frowned and shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, wait first, Sean, there is still a while for the audition, and during this time, you continue to figure out Howard Hughes, and we will collect some information about Scorsese and carefully analyze his personality and hobbies."

"...Okay, that's it for the time being." Sean thought for a moment and agreed to his suggestion.

According to the information collected by Frederick, Scorsese's biographical film about Howard Hughes, named "The Aviator", has just started casting, and it's still a while before the official list of actors is confirmed, so let's lay a solid foundation first. Just like the Oscars, although luck is important, it depends on public relations and daily connections, if you don't have the strength and do not show the acting skills worthy of winning, it is impossible not to mention winning the award.

So no matter how Sean thought about how to get to know Scorsese, he first tried the camera. If he couldn't even pass the most basic audition, what else would he compete for? So Sean then began to consolidate the various characteristics of Hughes that he had analyzed before and classified them. Since Scorsese called the movie "The Aviator", the focus must be on his aircraft manufacturing, airline establishment and various flight deeds.

Although I don't know how much the old Italian man would leave for Hughes's scandals, Sean thinks it's better to specialize in a little bit, and as long as he grasps Hughes' personality traits correctly, he doesn't have to worry even if he encounters this content during the audition.

However, although most of his energy is spent on this, there are still some other things to pay attention to, such as the release of "Saw" and the casting of "Desperate Housewives".

The former finally got the R rating under the modification of moderate Warner, and then released on April 7. Miramax has been working with Reincarnation Pictures smoothly and has made a lot of money, so he sold Sean for a face and contacted more than 2,000 theaters. Then, although the publicity was not large, thanks to the positive reviews posted at the Sundance Film Festival and the signature of Sean as producer, it also attracted some attention and successfully won a box office of 18 million in the first week!

Many critics call it the most thrilling and unexpected ending of this summer. Some even say that the excitement is no less than Hitchcock's "Psycho", the only problem is that it is too bloody.

"In short, this is a patient with only a few days left in his life. Because he hates those who waste their lives for no reason and ignore the good things in his life, he corrects their stories in his own way. Without talking about his motives, James Win told us a wonderful story, and the suspense progresses layer by layer. When you think you have finally deceived the murderer, he will tell you that the murderer has been watching you. When you think you have caught the murderer, he will tell you that the guess is wrong.

I think that when the last scene appears, there will definitely be a burst of exclamations in the cinema. Who would have thought that this would be the case. So when the sound of "The End of the Game" sounded, it was particularly shocking in my ears. Wen brought a unique horror film. Unfortunately, the picture is still too bloody. If he can do it more balanced, I will definitely give a higher evaluation." This is the famous film critic Roger Albert, after hearing the reputation of "Saw", he went to read the comments he wrote.

Even such famous film critics praised it, so the box office fell by less than 20% on the weekend of the second week, and it won 15 million yuan. Including the whole week, such a low-cost horror film costing 1 million yuan won nearly 40 million yuan in two weeks. Reincarnation Film once again made its peers envious.

"Your eyes are so vicious. I would have had one too." Vladimir sighed half-jokingly.

This is not only about the good results of "Saw", but also lamenting that the film, the newly established Down Pictures, obtained a valuable series of movies by Sean. As a person from a large company, how could he not see the potential value of "Saw" after its success? As long as the screenwriter uses his brain a little, he can at least produce a trilogy, and the investment will not be large. In addition, with the release of DVDs, Sean, who has copyright in hand, will naturally benefit a lot.

But the key is that according to some loopholes deliberately left when signing the contract, if Down Pictures no longer affiliated with Zoom Reincarnation Pictures in the future, Zoom Reincarnation Pictures, which has no copyright, will lose a lot. However, the "Saw" series is nothing, but who knows what else Sean can find in the future?

Vladimir completely believed this. You must know that until now, most of the things he liked have not completely failed. Even if independent movies such as "Detective Hallucinations", "Dance of Death", and "Believers" have average box office, their reputation is quite good.
