Best Actor

    "I thought you got it all done, Fred." After coming out of the terminal, Sean grinned and opened his hands, but the next second he tightened his clothes and exhaled White gas.

    "Damn it, it's the first time I've gone directly from summer to winter." He said something half-complaining and half-curious.

    "Okay, Fred, I didn't blame you," Sean, who was aware of the manager's emotions, said after getting in the car, "Tell me, what's going on? "

    "I don't know," said Frederick, annoyed again, "it's the same job as before, I recommended you, complimented you, and told him Mingla He liked you and played the videotape of your audition for "The Genius Ripley", and he rejected it outright. Damn, I was recommended by New Line, how could he treat me like this!"

    "Really..." Sean frowned, "What else did you say besides these?"

    "No...well, he asked me which role I wanted to pursue, and I said Legolas, Faramir, Merry, Pippin. You're good at a lot of roles," Frederick Ke thought for a moment, "That's about it."

    "You didn't tell him, I like the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy very much, and I even have a collection at home, so I really want to play a role in the movie?" Sean was a little surprised.

    "I didn't have time to say this at all. As soon as I started, he clearly expressed his refusal and walked away without giving me a chance to speak." Frederick couldn't help but think. To growl.

    “Obviously, the problem lies in the phrase to fight for the role,” Sean said immediately, “No director would like to audition for an actor who is not even sure which role he wants to fight for, and You still want the role of Legolas, and now you don't worry about conflict with the schedule and "Death Is Coming"?"

    "That's just a statement, a statement that can open up the situation. When we have a deep discussion, I will naturally bring out my real thoughts and communicate with him. But this **** fat New Zealander , but slammed the door shut, who did he think he was!" The agent roared.

    "I guess you've overlooked something, Fred," Sean rubbed his chin calmly, "Looks like you don't realize that Peter Jackson is the The master of the series."

    "Hmm... eh?" Frederick didn't react for a while.

    "You see, according to the information you gave me, New Line Pictures invested nearly 300 million US dollars, and at the same time allowed him to choose roles and location locations, obviously handing over the production power to him In hand. That is to say, as long as Jackson doesn't overspend, then there is no problem with how he wants to make the movie. And you treat him with the attitude of James Huang, he will not give you a good look, will he? ?" Sean spread his hands.

    Frederick opened his mouth and frowned, and after a few minutes he thought of something to argue, but a voice interjected.

    "Hey, I said, can we get out of here first? The people in the back are getting impatient." Galen, who was sitting in the passenger cab, pointed to the rear window, and at the same time , and several whistles sounded in coordination.

    …

    Although he felt Wellington all the way from Los Angeles, and also experienced a jumping trip from summer to winter, after talking to Frederick, Sean did not blame his agent.

    His attitude is normal. When negotiating roles with ordinary film directors, most of the agents praise their clients in order to create momentum and take the initiative, especially in When the client has some reputation.

    The most typical example, if Sean just played a supporting role in "Friends" to win the male lead of "Death is Coming", even if he succeeds in getting it in the end, he will definitely It takes a lot of effort, and all kinds of smiling faces are already considered light. However, after he starred in the best director Oscar's film, even if the film has not been released, the agent can get the role in his absence, so that the other party dares to take such a gamble.

    Every step forward, Sean can understand the taste of what Frederick said at the beginning, "As long as you can bring benefits, they will go after you like crazy".

    Back to the point, so this time Frederick miscalculated, he didn't understand how much power Peter Jackson had on the set.

    Sean knows that he doesn't remember much about the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, but Jackson won the Oscar for best director with "The Lord of the Rings" and the success of the first film Afterwards, the new line very readily agreed to pay for reshoots for some of the shots, which is impressive. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this trilogy is completely handled by him, and that he has the right to say nothing.

    Frederick was not Sean and didn't know that, so was rejected. It doesn't matter, as long as it can be recovered, so Sean came to New Zealand for the first time.

    "Mr. Jackson, I'm Fred, Frederick Rogers, we met, remember?" Came to the studio in Queenstown again, and waited for Jackson to come back from outside , the agent greeted him immediately.

    "Oh, of course, Mr. Rogers, but I think the words have been made very clear, there is no need to go on." Jackson sighed, and pulled the brim of his hat seemed helpless. Frederick haunted him like that.

    The agent wanted to say something, but Shawn, who shook his head secretly, walked over quickly, pulled him away, and then stretched out his hand to Jackson: "Hello, Mr. Jackson, I It's Sean, Sean Tang, and I want to apologize to you on behalf of my agent, who obviously didn't understand what this was going to be."

    Jackson was a little surprised, and shook hands with him with great interest: "So what kind of work do you think this will be?"

    "This will be a great work, and it will leave its own mark in the history of film." Sean replied, and then explained: "I'm not flattering you. , Mr. Jackson, after knowing what you have done for this series of films, I know that only people who love this novel very much can be so tenacious, and I believe that this hot pillow will definitely allow you to make Excellent movie."

    "You won the prize, I'm just fulfilling my previous wish." Although Jackson said so, the joy in his eyes was obvious.

     Turning around and whispering to the assistant, he then waved to Sean: "Come to my office and talk."

    Frederick, who just said a word next to him, could only stare at them as they left, while Galen snickered.

    …

    "Sit down, Sean," Jackson greeted when he came to the small office, then sat down on the single sofa, "You also like the "Lord of the Rings" series of novels?"

    "Yes, I have read it repeatedly when I practiced my reading ability, and I can even memorize many paragraphs." Sean said confidently.

    "Really?" Jackson was surprised.

    "You can choose any paragraph for me to try." Sean said in a loud voice.
