64. Chapter 64 Sean's
Although Peter Jackson said he would wait a long time, in fact, Sean and Frederick waited for a whole day. Obviously, the new line company must have had a heated discussion on this. However, in the end they agreed, believing that Jackson had a lot of efforts in it, otherwise he would not have waited for so long. Of course, I have to say that Sean is really lucky.
However, the new line did not agree at all. They slightly modified the prerequisites. The global box office of the first movie would exceed 650 million before Sean could get dividends. In response, Sean, who was mentally prepared, agreed immediately without any hesitation, as if he was really just to play a role.
However, since the new line is like this, he doesn't necessarily give them any discount, so Frederick came out to play the role of a slut. The final result is that Sean had not many scenes in the first movie, and he received a 1% box office dividend after the global box office exceeded 650 million. The second movie is relatively large, so he received a 2% box office dividend after the global box office exceeded 750 million, and he also left a small tail. I don't know if it was careless or what, so I didn't notice it.
The new line agreed without any hesitation. In their opinion, Sean continued to show his magnanimity or find more steps for himself. In fact, this is exactly the direction that Sean and Frederick wanted to mislead, so the new line signed a contract that was later called by Robert Shay, CEO of the new line, as a "significant loss that can be avoided".
"Thank you, Peter, although we have experienced many twists and turns, we can still work together." After finalizing the contract, Sean naturally had to prepare to return to Los Angeles.
Don't forget that there is another movie he will play the leading role at the end of August. James Huang has called him to have a meeting, so it's time to say goodbye to Jackson. Of course, the filming of "Lord of the Rings" does not affect the progress of "The God of Death". According to their current plan, it will be Sean's turn until the end of the year or the beginning of next year. This is why Frederick will cooperate, otherwise he would definitely have started to object.
"Frankly, it's not so easy to settle without your help," he continued.
"I just expressed my true thoughts to Xinshi. You are an excellent actor, Sean. If we could meet earlier, you would definitely have a better role." Jackson was a little regretful. With his current thoughts, he probably wished that everyone and actors would give up their pay and sign dividend contracts.
"It doesn't matter, it's enough to have Hardir. If there is anything I can do, such as helping find a suitable actor, please say it." Sean said half-jokingly.
"If you have one, you might as well recommend a few, such as Rohan's princess Iowen, who does not have a suitable role yet." The fat man also said.
Who knew that Sean was stunned: "Really? What conditions are needed?"
"It is best to be between 25 and 35 years old and have a certain acting experience. Of course, if you have excellent acting skills, you can relax to under 40 years old. Blonde and Australian actors are preferred." Jackson said briefly.
"Ha, I happen to know there is an actor who suits all the conditions you said." Sean smiled.

"Lord of the Rings?" Naomi, who held Poke in her arms and pinched the softest piece of the back of her neck, raised her head and asked in a puzzled tone.
"Yes, Lord of the Rings is a trilogy. I just got a role in it and recommended you to the director." Sean said, filming three old books on the coffee table. "Look, I've even prepared the things for you. You might as well pick out the part of Eowen first and read it for some preparation. They will come back from New Zealand in two weeks, so you don't have to go over and audition."
"Shawn, thank you for thinking about me, but I just finished filming a movie three weeks ago and don't want to take on the role yet," Naomi smiled, then hugged Lucy, who was curled up on the armrest of the sofa, "By the way, when did you adopt a kitten again?"
Her hand stroked Lucy's back, and the little thing then narrowed his eyes and made a satisfied "meow". Poke, who was still enjoying it just now, was placed on the sofa in the next second, whimpered unwillingly, stretched out his front legs and put it on Naomi, wanting to continue the caressing just now. Unfortunately, when it found Lucy was also there, although he hid, he still enjoyed a cat's claw, and immediately jumped off the sofa with tears in his eyes, ran to Sean's feet and rubbed around for comfort.
"I know, Nami, but these trilogies will be very good movies. Although the characters are not the main highlight, as long as you can participate in this movie, you will definitely take your career to a higher level!" Sean said in a positive tone.
"Shaun..." Naomi shouted, her eyes full of complicated expressions.
Sean knew what she was worried about, and it had been a day or two for her to escape like this, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he just stepped forward and grabbed her hand, held it gently, and looked at her beautiful eyes: "Do you believe me, Nami?"
"I... Of course I believe you." Naomi sighed silently.
"Then let's take over this role." Sean patted her lightly on the back of her hand.
"Okay, I'll try it, but there's no guarantee of the result." Naomi said finally.
"I know," Sean laughed, "In addition, it's better to sign a contract with the crew to share the box office after the release, so that the benefits are the greatest."
Then he chose to say something he knew, such as the reputation or box office gained by "Lord of the Rings", in a speculative and predictable way.
"Okay, okay, listen to you." Although Naomi said with a smile, she didn't seem to take it seriously. Sean wanted to say a few more words, but she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she had to sigh in her heart.
At this time, Galen, who was busy in the kitchen, came out and greeted with a few prepared dishes: "Hey, Sean, the meal will be ready soon."
"It's finally time to start, I thought you were going to have lunch and dinner together," Sean quipped, then stood up and reached out to Naomi, "Come on, Naomi, try Garen's cooking and Chinese food."
"Is it different from what is made in Chinese restaurants?" Naomi asked curiously.
"There must be a difference. The few we went to before were not very authentic. Just try it and you will know." Sean laughed.
The lunch was pretty good. Although Galen was next to her, she also talked about many interesting topics. Naomi also asked Galen to verify some of the embarrassing things Sean had told her before, and Galen helped cover up some of them.
Afterwards, Naomi said goodbye. Sean wanted to drive her back, but was politely declined.
"It seems that I'm still a little naive. I thought you were just dating Jordanna." After Sean sent Naomi downstairs, Garen immediately screamed, "I told me that I wouldn't date a woman who was seven or eight years old, but it turned out that there were Gwyneth Paltrow, and then there were Naomi Watts now... No, you must know Naomi first. What you said before was guided by a woman, it would be her."
"I think you should be careful when speaking, Garen." Sean glared at him and then said "threateningly".
"Wow, do you want to silence?" Garen grimaced, then patted his shoulder again, "Hey, man, you have to be careful. Although you are not not dating two girls at the same time, this is not high school."
"Okay, you guy, have you started teaching me a lesson in just a few days?" Sean waved his fist and put on a fighting posture. "Do you want me to teach you how to speak?"
"Oh, is it? Then come on, I haven't beat you up for a while, don't forget, I have learned Kung Fu." Garen also gestured twice.
"Okay, come on!"
"Come on, I'm here!"
"Come on!"
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
The two men threatened them back and forth on their mouths for a long time without taking action. Finally, Sean retracted his fists and raised his hands to say something. Unexpectedly, Galen took this opportunity to rush up and blocked both arms.
"Damn, you're a sneak attack!" Sean shouted in annoyance, twisting his body to break free.
"Sorry, it should be called 'Bianbo Smash'!" Galen said proudly.
"It's 'the soldiers never get tired of cheating'. If you don't have good Chinese, don't talk nonsense, as it will only make people laugh." Sean said viciously, and suddenly tried to fight for a hand, hooked Garen's neck and fell down.
Although Galen was caught off guard, he never relaxed his strength, so even if he lost his balance and fell to the ground, he still took Sean with him. The two of them rolled around on the ground like wrestlers. Fortunately, although they kicked a lot of things down, the scope of the impact was not very large.
The two little things, Pock and Lucy, ran to the corner together, sat on the ground and straightened their bodies, watching the two owners fighting with enthusiasm. Even Lucy, who usually looked lazy and squinting, opened her eyes wide, not to mention her eyes shining, as if she had seen delicious food.
After almost half an hour of hard work, the two of them stopped and leaned against each other for a while before they stood up.
"Galen, you..." Sean wanted to say something, but was interrupted directly: "I know, don't worry, I have always been very nervous."
"I hope so." Sean sighed.
When Frederick called out to New Zealand before, he never thought about staying for three or four days, so the life of two little things became a problem. She wanted to ask Jodana like she did last time, but she ran back to New York. As a last resort, Sean had to call Naomi again, so after he came back, his relationship with her could not be hidden from Garen.
When he saw the intimate expressions of Sean and Naomi, Garen, who was familiar with him, could guess it. What's more, he immediately pulled her to talk about the character's problems, and asked Garen to make order-based Chinese food as much as possible.
Well, at least he knew, it would be more convenient if he wanted to cover up. Sean could only think so and then turn his attention to other aspects.
As her career slowly developed, Naomi seemed to stagnate, but she did not fall into the embarrassing environment at the time. So when Sean heard that Jackson said that the character Eowen was not scheduled, he immediately seized the opportunity to recommend her. Maybe this character would not make her popular, but it should be fine to let her go to the next level. It would be better if he could sign the dividend contract like him.
Of course, this is impossible. The fact that he was able to get this contract was the result of the game between several parties, and it was difficult to replicate it. Besides, even if Naomi was moved by Sean and had this idea, her agent would not support her.
