Best Actor

"Simply put, you first recommended me to the casting director, and then the other party promised to recommend me to the director and producer?" In the agent's booth, Sean looked at asked Frederick.

"Of course—not!" Frederick replied in a long voice, "I said, she wants to meet you first, and if she thinks it's good, she will naturally tell Michael Bay and the others recommend you."

"I thought the casting director didn't have much power." Sean said with smacking his lips.

"It's not really big, not only the protagonist, but also many important supporting roles, they have no right to make decisions. However, if this line is done well, because for a long time as various directors, agents, Managers and studio contacts can often accumulate quite a wide range of contacts and have a variety of private channels, so they have a certain right to speak." The agent explained, "Take Bonnie Timmerman as a For example, Tim Robbins, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ralph Fiennes, Russell Crowe have all recommended her."

"It doesn't sound like much." Sean was a little bit deliberately arrogant.

"But people don't notice that," Frederick dismissed, "people only notice those who succeed because of her recommendations and ignore those who fail , the more successful those people are, the higher her status in the circle will be, which is why she wants to meet you first."

"Want to see if I'm worth investing in?" Sean sighed.

"Well, you actually have another way," the agent suddenly gave a wicked smile, "Because casting directors need to be careful and patient, most of them are women, if you can Get them all, maybe in the future you can have whatever role you want.”

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand in the eyes of Sean who wanted to kill: "Well, I was joking."

Of course Sean knew, so he just snorted and nodded: "Okay, I see, tomorrow noon right?"

Then he came to the corridor and greeted Galen and Sanders who were waiting there to leave.

"It looks like you agreed?" Sanders asked.

"Yes, otherwise Fred will be nagging in my ear for a week." Sean shrugged.

"Since you don't think so, why agree?" Sanders shook his head, "You are the leader, Sean, you can't always accommodate him."

"It's not a big deal to talk, it's better to see how the script is and then make a judgment." Galen said in a roundabout way, while secretly touching Sanders with his elbow.

Saunders shrugged, and then changed his words: "That's right, looking at the script may make your intuition clearer."

The matter was settled like this, and then the meeting the next day went smoothly. Sean, who was polite and polite, liked Bonnie very much, and Bonnie, who was good at talking, also let Xiao Well quite comfortable. So everyone was happy with the result, except that Frederick raised a small eyeball and hoped that Bonnie would put the recommendation time around January 23. It was very simple, that day was the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

"We have to let people see your news, and if we don't maintain a certain level of exposure, it will soon be forgotten. This is a place that loves the new and hates the old." Frederick said, "When Disney of producers see your name in the newspapers or even in the headlines after they know you want to audition too, so the chances of you being considered are greatly increased.”

"Unless I win, I won't be in the headlines." Sean reminded.

"It doesn't matter, there are always some medium-sized media who are not able to go to several well-known newspapers and are willing to put your news in the most conspicuous place. I will handle this, don't worry. Of course, it is possible Some news will be unpleasant, such as Sean's disappointment and the like, you have to be mentally prepared." Frederick said in a big way.

Well, although this guy is more utilitarian, he is really doing his best for him, which is why Sean is not very optimistic about the prospect of "Pearl Harbor", but finally agreed to the audition request s reason. Everyone cooperated very well, and he didn't want to be unhappy because of a trivial matter, and it was feasible to read the script and make judgments, maybe he could remember something.

But Sanders is right, and sometimes he can't be too accommodating to Frederick, so when he said that, Sean didn't say anything, there was Galen who had conflict with his agent By the side, will be optimistic about him.

Two days later, the award ceremony of the 57th Golden Globe Awards will arrive, but it is more appropriate to call it an awards banquet rather than an awards ceremony. That's the way the Golden Globes have been for decades, at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills or the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, where guests are invited to dine while the awards are presented.

It is naturally incomparable with the Oscars, no matter the scale or popularity, but there are still many well-known figures to support, even if it is clear that the impartiality of this award will be greatly reduced, whoever votes are journalists Woolen cloth?

Sean will not be absent, not only that, but Frederick also suggested to him that it is best not to miss any awards ceremonies during this time. Basically, the first 2 to 3 months of each year is what people call the awards season. Various awards are presented in a short period of time, such as the Teen Choice Award, the Independent Spirit Award, the Directors Guild Award, the Screen Actors Guild Award and The various Film Critics Association awards, etc., are dazzling.

"As long as you have a nomination, then you must attend the awards ceremony, even like the Screen Actors Guild Awards, even if there is no nomination, as long as the movie is shortlisted, you'd better participate. Hollywood also pays attention to seniority and seniority, even This is more important than other places. If you feel that you have been wronged, like Leonardo, the Oscar did not give nominations and so refused to participate, then congratulations, you want to be nominated twice as hard as others in the future.” Frederick That's what Greg said, and he always told Sean so bitterly and repeatedly what to watch out for in Hollywood.

The nagging guy, but Sean also knows that he is doing it for his own good, so before participating in the Golden Globes, he has been to many awards ceremonies, such as the Screenwriters Guild Awards or the Directors Guild Awards, Of course, none were caught.

"So, I really don't have much confidence today. It would be good to have a nomination." Outside the Hilton Hotel, facing the reporters who were standing around to take pictures, Sean, dressed in a formal dress, looked like this. He said to Jude, whom he hadn't seen for a while, "It's you, who is very hopeful to win the supporting actor."

"How is it possible," Jude shook his head, "I knew when I saw the list of winners, I'm sure I'm not good, maybe you can create a miracle again, young man."

"Are you sure you want to use this title, are you sure it won't make you look old?" Sean asked sarcastically.

"That's great, 30 years old is the golden age for male actors." Jude gave him such an answer.

The two of them couldn't help laughing, with a little helplessness, they all knew that even if they were nominated, they were mostly just running with them.

, there is no need to entangle with reporters too much, and it is getting late."

Minutes ago, Alec Baldwin and his wife, Kim Basinger, went in and brought up a blockbuster flash, and reporters didn't necessarily devote their attention to Sean and Jude.

Three people entered the Hilton Hotel like this, and after letting the reporters inside take pictures for a while in front of the sign, they went to the hall under the HFPA bag under the guidance of the waiter, and then sat in their own position.

Whisper.

Although I have participated in several award ceremonies before, they are all in a certain theater or somewhere else. Some people go up to win the award and applaud, and then come out to a specific place to take pictures for reporters. , such a banquet format like the Golden Globes is the first time. Frankly speaking, the Ballon d'Or surpasses those union awards in terms of pomp and star support, and anyone who attends -- especially a newcomer like Sean -- can't help but feel an upper class, like attending. White House dinner like that. That's all for a Golden Globe Award, and I don't know what the scene will look like when it's Oscar's turn in more than a month.

Sean did not expect himself to be nominated for an Oscar at all, although similar thoughts occasionally pop up, he is now counting on "The Genius Ripley" to get a few more nominations, and then from Miramac Get a few tickets there, and take Galen and Sanders to the awards ceremony to make up for today's regrets.

Although the Golden Globes allows female companions and agents, Galen and the others are not included, so only Sean and Frederick are here today. He also planned to invite Naomi to attend, but she declined. For some reason, he always felt that Naomi was trying to hide from him during this time.

But Sean soon discovered that Naomi was lucky not to come, because the nominated cast members were all sitting together, so soon Hoffman, Gwyneth Silk, Mingella, and Weinstein all came in one after another for a long time, and Weinstein also pulled him and praised him again.

And then, Cate Blanchett also came, and in the way Sean least wanted to see, she actually brought her husband!

Sean is very unhappy, very unhappy, he doesn't know why, he should be ashamed by reason, maybe Kate is doing this as a statement, but he still can't restrain himself Not fast.

Of course, no matter how ups and downs in his heart, Sean still controlled himself and didn't show it. He just said hello to Kate and didn't speak again. The same is true for Kate. After sitting down, he had a good conversation with many people, but he didn't even want to look at him again. Sean's hand under the table couldn't help pinching, and a strong unwillingness emerged immediately.
