This guy is really... Sean couldn't think of any words to describe Frederick. However, although he racked his brains and tried every means to do it for himself, he was really thinking about him at the same time. Plus, it felt like this movie

, this horror movie called "Death Is Coming" should be pretty good.

Yes, just like the previous "The Talented Mr. Ripley", his intuition told him that this movie may not be comparable to those big productions, but it is indeed very unique and should not fail.

Well, in that case, if you agree... wait! Sean raised his eyebrows fiercely, and he almost forgot the purpose of coming here, but this is a good opportunity.

Frederick, who had been observing him carefully, was about to smile, but seeing the change in his expression, he had to tighten his face again.

"How's it going, Sean?" the agent asked cautiously.

"Is there only one script to choose from?" Having made up his mind, Sean immediately frowned in a pretentious manner.

"Believe me, Sean, this is the best script I can find so far and is the most suitable for you now." Frederick maintained that sincere tone, with a hint of sincerity.

Indeed, although he had just completed filming "The Talented Mr. Ripley", Minghella's previous bold choice of a new actor as the leading actor only aroused a certain degree of discussion in Hollywood circles, and the media and the public were basically still indifferent.

I don’t know. So, before that movie was released and became a success, the only roles I could take were in movies of this type and cost.

"I have already reached an agreement with them. All I need to do is go over together and meet with the director and producer before we can sign the contract," he continued.

"Oh?" Sean was a little surprised.

"I introduced your situation to them, focusing on Minghella's favor for you. I also showed them the tape of your audition. They thought it was very good and suitable," Frederick explained, but

His eyes were a little evasive, "Of course, you still have to say you are 23 years old. That's okay. There are many actors playing high school students at this age."

"Isn't that more than that, Fred?" Sean narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"Hmm..." The agent smacked his lips and finally told the truth, "Another point is that you are cheaper. I only asked for a salary of 800,000, so that they would have more funds to invite Katherine Heigl to play the role of the female lead.

main character."

"800,000 salary? Wow, that's really good. It's 2.5 times more than "The Talented Mr. Ripley"," Sean curled his lips, and then asked curiously, "Who is Katherine Heigl?"

"A young actress with a good reputation is only two years older than your actual age," Frederic recalled. "She started modeling at the age of 9, got her first movie role at the age of 14, and was in

She has acted as the heroine in comedy movies. Last year's "The Haunted Bride" did well at the box office, so the producers wanted to invite her to be the heroine. Originally, they wanted to invite Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst to play the male and female roles.

The protagonist, but they all rejected it, and then they thought of Catherine. Although the latter thought the script was good, the asking price was relatively high. At this time, I took advantage of the opportunity and successfully got it."

At this point, he suddenly lowered his tone: "You know, Katherine Heigl is a very sexy girl."

Sean, who was slightly touched just now, immediately gave him a roll of his eyes. After just a few words, this guy showed his true colors.

So he immediately asked: "Aren't you worried that I will be labeled as the leading actor in horror movies?"

"It's just a horror movie," Frederick waved his hand hurriedly, "and many well-known actors will also take this kind of role, such as the actor Geoffrey Rush, who was the best actor last year, and he has a low-cost movie this year.

A horror movie is coming soon.”

"But he was already the best actor before that." Sean touched his chin.

"Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster have also acted in horror films, and both won Oscars for Best Actor and Actor." Frederick looked at him depressedly.

"The Silence of the Lambs is a standard thriller." Sean continued to touch his chin.

"But you still have "The Talented Mr. Ripley" coming out." The agent gritted his teeth.

"But no one knows what the result of the screening will be." Sean spread his hands.

"...Okay, Sean, just tell me, what do you need me to do?" After looking at him intently for a while, Fredericella suddenly raised his hands and leaned back on the chair, pretending to be relaxed.

The appearance surprised Sean again.

"I know, you must have something in mind, it doesn't matter, just tell me," the agent said with a hum, "As long as you don't forget what you promised me."

Well, the time we have spent together is not short. He is familiar with Frederick, so why is Frederick not familiar with him?

"Listen to me, Fred," in this case, Sean said bluntly, "I will take this role. If you really just go over and meet, you can sign the contract."

Then, after the agent breathed a sigh of relief, he added: "Do you know the movie "The Lord of the Rings," Fred?"

-----

"Another troublesome thing. Can't he have a little bit of...the same idea as an ordinary actor? Can't he be less out of the ordinary?" Frederick, who was tapping his fingers on the desk, looked at the computer screen.

information, holding his cheek as if he had a toothache.

He had also heard about the movie, or series of movies, adapted from Tolkien's novel. As an agent, being well-informed is a necessary skill. Even so, after Sean mentioned it, he still thought about it for a moment.

He just found it out of his memory, but as you can imagine, he was not prepared at all.

In this case, he either agreed or refused, but Sean, who saw this, didn't give him a chance to think about it, and dropped the words "I have already agreed to your request, you should also agree to mine" and "

I don’t have many requirements, as long as I have a role that can impress the audience." With these two words, he ran away quickly.

After Frederick found the relevant information and checked it out, he immediately had the urge to hit the wall and drag Sean back for a bite. First of all, the fat man who was the director and producer came to Hollywood from New Zealand and produced two movies.

Peter Jackson, a B-level movie maker, is an avid Tolkien fan and had already made the trilogy into a movie two years ago.

At first, Miramax was interested in investing, and the two parties reached an agreement. However, Miramax later regretted it and planned to make the trilogy into two parts. Jackson naturally refused, so he tried his best to find other investments. In the end,

Somehow, this impressed New Line President Robert Shea, so Shea raised nearly $300 million for him to use to create the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

As soon as James Cameron spent 200 million to build a big ship, it brought in 1.8 billion in box office, which has kicked off the big investment. But spending so much at once to make a series of movies is still a fantasy epic novel that has a huge influence in the West.

The movie version is still quite shocking. It was because of this that Frederick knew about this series of movies.

But like most producers and agents in Hollywood, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Not to mention the difficulty of shooting, there had never been such a big-scene fantasy movie before. Although it was not like the shoe-buying movie,

Just like the salesman's fable, you can make money by seizing opportunities to open up new markets, but you also have to take huge risks. Not everyone is Cameron.

In addition, Frederick always feels that playing a role in such a movie does not have many benefits for the actor. If the other party can really create the feeling in the book, then the audience will watch the scene more.

Story, unless there are special circumstances, the personal charm of the actors will be reduced a lot.

If he could predict the future, he would definitely be applauded for his vision. Although "The Lord of the Rings" was released a few years later to great acclaim, the main actors who played those classic roles in it, except for a few lucky ones, the others

There are all kinds of difficulties in career.

"I really don't understand. Are you very optimistic about this series of movies?" Looking through the list of actors considered by the "Lord of the Rings" crew, Frederick always felt unreliable.

For example, for Aragon, who can be considered one of the male protagonists, they actually auditioned Vin Diesel, invited Daniel Day-Lewis twice, and also considered Russell Crowe. Not surprisingly, the two of them

All were rejected.

Then, Bruce Willis expressed his interest in the role of Boromir, and Helena Bethany Carter wanted to try the role of the elf princess, but they were both rejected by the crew.

In short, many roles have only been cast now. The one who got Aragorn is British actor Steward Townsend. Although most of the others have been cast, they are not completely confirmed because some roles have several names noted after them.

, and most of them are newcomers, such as Elijah Wood. Therefore, if Sean wants to fight for it, he will not have no chance.

However, the biggest problem, and what makes Frederick the most depressed, is that the filming of this movie is about to start, and "Death is Coming" is also scheduled to start shooting in three or four months. If between these two movies

There are characters in the movie, and the schedules are likely to conflict, not to mention that there is also the post-production of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" to pay attention to.

"Genius, you are indeed quite different." Frederick half complained and half teased.

Even so, he still began to think about how to contact New Line and the crew of "Lord of the Rings". If Sean had the same ideas as ordinary people, there would be no such situation. If it weren't for his decision, he would have to work hard.

If they do it, with that spirit of perseverance and unwillingness to admit defeat, can they still create miracles?

The agent also believes that if schedule conflicts arise, Sean will make the right decision. Although he insists on his beliefs, he is not an idiot who doesn't know what to do and he still deserves credit.

"Okay, let me think about how to contact them." Frederick sighed and began to think.

Thinking about it carefully, he seems to have no connection with the crew of "Lord of the Rings". What the hell...wait! He suddenly thought of something, pulled out the information on "The God of Death", flipped through two pages and patted his head, so

It’s really inappropriate for me to forget simple things!
Chapter completed!
