92. Chapter 92 Public Relations Advice
The doorbell rang and looked on the monitor, and Sean opened the door and walked out.
"When did you have such a beautiful villa again, Sean?" Frederick, who drove in, laughed. Since he pulled Sean to roar that day, he had always been so proud.
"This is not mine, it is a friend of mine. I will borrow it to stay for a few days." Sean said this while greeting Richard Lesen who was with him.
"I hope you can bring me good news, Fred." He said after he asked them to sit down in the living room, spreading his hands.
"Of course it's good news," Frederick looked a little furious, "Do you think I don't care about you? It's a big mistake, Sean, how could I not care about you? Your business is mine!"
"Can you not say those stingy words?" Sean felt chilled. "Richard is still here, don't say it as if I have any extraordinary relationship with you."
Frederick, who had just taken a sip of the water cup, immediately squirted out and coughed continuously, and his facial features were a little distorted.
After he finally recovered, Lesen raised his hands and waved it: "It's okay, you can do whatever you want if I don't exist."
In particular, he also made a very serious attitude, which almost made Frederick squirt again, while Sean laughed happily.
"Good joke, Sean, a good joke." The agent who pulled his bow tie and wiped his mouth with toilet paper said in a depressed and helpless tone.
"It's good to use your embarrassment to make me happy, Fred." Sean continued to laugh.
"You're happy now? Then..." Frederick didn't bother him in this regard, and pointed at himself and Lesen.
"Okay, let's talk about the serious matters, but welcome Richard to join us first," Sean put away his smile and shook hands with Lesen. "All my PR business will be left to you in the future. I hope you can often bring out something that surprises us."
"It is my honor to be able to serve you and to see you become a star step by step." Lesen nodded seriously.
After "The Genius Ripley" was released and was a great success, Frederick suggested that Sean had a public relations relationship with a long-term employment relationship. Richard Lesen felt good after two previous contacts. He had a foundation in cooperation and was an employee of a famous public relations company, so he chose him.
"I've exchanged views with Richard before," Frederick said immediately. "Our views are almost the same. Although the New York Post made this happen so quickly and we could have said it at a better moment to get more and better attention, they ruined the plan. However, according to the situation afterwards, the impact was not as bad as expected, but it had a good skiing effect in many aspects."
"Oh? Haven't you read the newspaper reports? For example, the column of the guy named Michael Hatton in the Los Angeles Evening News?" Sean raised his eyebrows.
"I've seen it, and I've seen a lot," Frederick laughed, "Your attention is a little narrower, Sean, you've seen those guys who take advantage of the topic, haven't you seen those who praise you? Do you remember what I said after I made this suggestion?"
Sean did not answer. Of course he remembered that it was not easy to forget that guy's tone like a cannon at the time, and it was just a long list of words that made him make up his mind.
"Are I talking about those that are being realized? The movie has been successful, and you have also succeeded. You played everything that a twenties should have in your teenage role. No one can see it, no! Do you know what this means? There are only a few actors in Hollywood that can do this! So if you pay a little attention, you will find that there are more people praising you and praising you, and you don't need to care about those random guys!" The agent began to speak loudly again, with an intoxicated and complacent expression. Not to mention Sean, even Lesen next to him was tilted beyond his head and couldn't bear to witness it.
Unconsciously, Frederick continued: "I met Mingla and I, and I even planned to tell him that I advised you to do this, or that I would do it first and create a fait accompli to make you admit it. Unexpectedly, he didn't care at all. He just said, you are an excellent actor, you will be even better in the future, and I should help you do it."
Speaking of this, the agent's voice became emotional, and Sean couldn't help but chuckled, and his eyes looked at Frederick also softened. When he took the responsibility on himself, why didn't he do that?
"And, also, guess who I met when I left? Harvey Weinstein, that fat man! Do you know what he did? He actually greeted me on his own initiative, and said with a smile that I recommended an excellent actor. Haha, this is the first time I have seen that damn fat man speaks in such a pleasant mood!" Frederick said as he raised his voice again, and his solid state sprouted with a proud look. He didn't even hold on to his previous state for five minutes.
Sean had to roll his eyes: "Okay, Fred, let's talk about the next thing, what should I do in this situation at the moment?"
The reason why we are so focused on the age issue is mainly because of what we said at the beginning, and we are worried about being attacked by others. In fact, some people have questioned this in the media. Integrity is a very important thing in any place and society. Even the rich have to pay attention to it. If a person who is originally a disgraceful person will not be said, but a person who acts despicable but still looks gentlemanly on the surface. Once it is exposed, he will definitely be criticized and criticized by countless people, and the higher the status, the more intense it is.
Maybe someone can use various relationships, means and money to prevent themselves from being pursued, but their previous good reputation will not come back.
Perhaps there are some people who can cover up the facts through various relationships, means and money, such as allowing the media to report selectively or coldly, but as Abraham Lincoln said, you can deceive some people for a period of time, you can deceive everyone for a period of time, but you can never deceive everyone at all times.
Okay, the topic is getting far off again. Let’s go back to Sean. If someone is interested in realizing something and then playing it out, the consequences may be very serious. Now that it is certain, Mingla and Miramax are not particularly concerned about this, Sean naturally wants to settle the media as soon as possible.
"It's very simple, we're ready." Frederick laughed, then pointed to Lesen next to him.
"We contacted Jay Renault, he was very interested." Lesen said straightforwardly, unlike Frederick, unlike him who likes to be mysterious.
"Jay Renault? "Tonight Show"?" Sean looked at them in surprise.
"Yes, your first official role is a small supporting role in "Friends", so I contacted David and met Renault through him. Renault has also read your news these days. After a little more detailed understanding, he immediately agreed to recommend me to the person in charge of NBC, and then the negotiation was completed." Frederick snapped his fingers.
There are countless talk show programs on several major public TV stations, but there are only a handful of them who really count as ace shows. Jay Renault's "Tonight Show" is one of them. This middle-aged man who is about to be 50 years old, gray-haired and somewhat rich is a very humorous host. He started hosting "Tonight Show" in 1987, and officially became the host of "Tonight Show" in 1992, and has been doing it until now.
It can be seen from this that Jay Renault did a great job, and only David Letterman could compete with him, so there will definitely be a lot of gains in being able to appear on his show and perform properly.
"He just... agreed like this?" Sean was still a little confused.
"Of course, do you need to think more about this kind of thing? The controversial male protagonist of the popular movie is coming to the show. Even David Lemante will agree to such a popular topic." Frederick chuckled.
David Lemante is one of the producers of "Everyone Loves Raymond". If he really doesn't care, it does mean that Sean is of great value. Of course, the agent just used this as an example. In order to repeatedly instill the meaning of becoming famous in Sean, he has not completely changed his mindset yet.
"So...whether there is Miramax?" Sean didn't worry about this topic and asked the film company's opinions.
"I've also communicated, and they welcome any move that can promote the box office of the movie, so we just need to discuss what to pay attention to when it comes to blurting out," the agent laughed proudly again, "I said, I've been running around for you all the time, Sean."
"Okay okay, thank you, Fred, thank you for your hard work." Sean said without sincerity with his eyes rolled over, then turned to look at Lesen, who rarely spoke.
The latter did not disappoint him, and went straight to the theme: "You just need to maintain the image in the movie, which is full of vitality and mature. To make people's first impression of you is a young man in his twenties, not a teenage girl. I think this is not a difficult task for you. The main focus now is that your actual age is strongly contrasting with the image of the movie, so people are surprised and questioned. I think you should keep it and use talk shows to continuously strengthen this image, so that people think it is normal for you to do this, and this will become one of your styles in the future..."
Unlike Frederick's always complacent look, Lesen's tone was very stable, without any extra words, and it made people feel comfortable. The agent would interject a few sentences at the beginning, but when he arrived, he started to listen, and this situation continued until the door opened.
