MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 11 Not today!

"What are you talking about?" Sean made no secret of his surprise.

He knew that there must be some bad news for him to make this appearance, after all, although Frederick would say some one-liners in the past few contacts, he has never joked like this. But he still didn't expect that the other party actually asked him to give up this role!

"I know how you feel, Sean, but please listen to my explanation." Frederick raised a hand and said as earnestly as possible.

Although Sean wanted to have a seizure, he finally endured it: "Go ahead."

"It's my fault," the agent sighed, "I was a little... too surprised when I received your call, so I didn't take the time to collect detailed information, which caused the current situation situation."

After a pause, he continued: "Simply put, the two screenwriters of "Everybody Loves Raymond", Eric Reese and Jeremy Stevenson There is a deep contradiction, you were chosen by Eric, so you will definitely be suppressed by Stevenson. If it is any other time, it will be fine, anyway, you only have one episode, and if the ratings are good at most, add another episode. .But it's different now, Stevenson is going to kick Reese out, and he's already talked one of the producers, David Letterman, and he's been on the set longer than Reese, which has an advantage. You Do you know what this means? You got involved in things you shouldn't get involved in, and if you don't pay attention, your future may be ruined!"

"Just for this?" Sean narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, "Just for this, so I should automatically give up this hard-earned opportunity?"

"Don't you understand what I'm talking about?" Frederick snorted, gritted his teeth and smirked, "You have to stand in line no matter what. And no matter which side you stand on, you will be suppressed by the other side, and you have no ability to protect yourself now!"

"Someone pressured you? Stevenson?" Sean's eyes turned cold.

"…Yes, he called me," Frederick raised his hands, exasperated by being exposed, "but I'm doing it for your own good, Sean! If you It's a little famous..."

"For my own good? I've heard this so many times, and I don't need you to repeat it." This sentence suddenly ignited Sean's anger, "I know you once represented Sang. Della Bullock and George Clooney, Fred, but I think you obviously don't get why they fired you!"

"Oh? Really? I didn't know you knew Hollywood so much," Frederick was also angry, and asked in a loud, sarcastic tone, "Then tell me, genius, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? What are you going to do when Reese or Stevenson take their anger out on you and leave you here without a place to stand?!"

It's easy to win a role, and you want me to give up again, what am I going to do in the future? Are you going to sell your ass?!"

"I told you, this is reality, this is **** reality!" Frederick was furious, "There are no parents around you all day, there is no The friends you call around who are willing to do anything for you, this is not a place where you can do whatever you want, and it is not a place where hard work can be rewarded! Some people are just lucky and get what they want easily, and some people No matter how hard you try, you are doomed to fail because of various things!"

The fierce quarrel inevitably attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, neither of them lost their minds. After realizing it, they both closed their mouths and calmed down their emotions.

After a long while, Fred spoke again: "Listen, Sean, even if you are a slightly famous actor now, I would not recommend you to do this, even if you only play the role of After some simple roles, you can sit firmly in your own position and watch them fight. But you are not, you are just a small person in their eyes, a small person who can be abandoned at any time, no one cares about you, and no one is willing to help you ,except me!"

After adjusting his emotions, his words were a lot more sincere: "I still think you have potential, Sean, but because of this, what you need now is someone who can take the first step safely. Method! The fight between Reese and Stevenson is bound to be fierce. Once you get into it, it may be okay if the side on the side wins, but if the other side wins, then you may not be able to move a single step in the future! So I suggest you quit Protect yourself, you don't have to show up, let me talk, if you can seize the opportunity, I can even exchange a promise."

Sean was silent and never said a word. When the street lights started to light up one by one, he raised his head: "Sorry, Fred, I refuse."

He straightened up and looked at the agent's eyes very bright: "I know this world is very unfair, some people are born with more, but it's definitely not that I don't try my best Reason. I'm not an idealist, I only know one thing, when I make up my mind to do something, I must do my best to do it! This opportunity is something I finally won, I don't know what will happen next time There are still such opportunities, and I don't want to sell my **** or flatter some people without principle, so I refuse to give up and refuse to exchange for that illusory promise!"

"How many times do I have to say, Sean, that giving up now is for the future..." Frederick covered his forehead.

"I don't live in the past, nor in the future, I only live in the present! All I want to seize is the present!" Sean interrupted him, "Even if I fail in the end, Even being kicked out of Hollywood, as long as I do my best in the end, I can accept it! I have nothing and nothing to lose, why can't I give everything! To use the cliché of Hollywood family movies, I don't want to be in When you are old, you will regret lying in a chair. If you could have persevered a little longer, if you could have exhausted the available methods, your life may be different now!"

He stood up, put his hands on the round table, looked down at Frederick, his eyes became brighter, as if a flame was burning: "I understand your difficulty, and I don't expect How much can you help Fred, but! Maybe one day I'll bow down and kneel in front of some people and beg for a chance, but that won't be today! Maybe one day I'll be down and out No one cares, and I can't leave a trace of myself in this world, but that won't be today! Today, no matter what stands in front of me, I won't care! Even if I end up with a bloodbath , I will never give up!"

Saying these words loud and clear, Sean let out a long breath, turned and walked out. Frederick stared at him blankly, as if he couldn't think anymore. Seeing him leave, he stretched out his hand subconsciously, and didn't react until Sean was about to fall down the street.

"I said so much, all in vain?!"

"Why didn't you see that this guy is such a stubborn person?!"

"Does he really think he's something great?!"

He kept roaring, raising his hand again and again to make a fist, trying to hit the table, but every time he raised it in the air and put it down. An unspeakable, unpleasant, and bitter feeling spread rapidly in his chest, constantly swallowing up his inner world, making him want to scream loudly, and his fisted hands began to tremble slightly.

What's wrong with this... what's wrong! Frederick was breathing heavily. He actually knew that this feeling was called unwillingness. He should have laughed at Sean's remarks, such naivety and self-control will only make people achieve nothing, but those words kept echoing in his chest, with a strange resonance. It jumped out of his mind, making him unbearable.

He also knows that, as a sane, almost ten-year-old agent - even if he spends one-third of his time doing sending and receiving and assistant work - he should not be treated like this Feeling left and right, but at this moment, I let this feeling dominate my body.

Finally, Frederick raised his head, looked at the back that was about to go away, gritted his teeth and stood up violently.

"Sean!" He chased after him and shouted to stop the young man who was about to get into the car.

"Listen, I can help you," the agent grabbed his collar, pulled his face in front of him, stared into his eyes, and poked his fingers **** his chest." But you have to do what I say, everything, you have to do what I say, and do your best, understand?!"

Looking at each other for a long time, the young man finally nodded: "Understood."

"Very well, I want you to do three things now," Frederick said quickly, "First of all, the script is still in your hands, right? I want you to do your best Go and decipher the character traits of the characters, practice a few times in every way you can think of acting, and either way, do it as perfectly as you can—at least ten times better than the show at the bank that day!

Secondly, you are now a Reese's man, so I want you to stand on his side without reservation, without reservation! No matter how intimidating you are on Stevenson's side, you can't be shaken, and you must let Reese know!

Again, you are a newcomer, a complete newcomer, so you must lower your profile in front of Reese, he has a bad temper and is a little arrogant, so don't try to tell him what to do, All you have to do is keep answering: Yes, sir! In short, let him see that you are on his side wholeheartedly. "

"I see," Sean replied solemnly, "I will try my best to do these three points."

"That's it, I'll handle the rest." After saying this, Frederick turned around and left, he didn't explain what he was going to do, since Sean chose to believe him , then you should believe it to the end.

"I'm crazy." After getting into the car, the agent said to himself, pulling his collar, but he didn't show much regret, instead he was a little excited.

After driving the car onto the street, he simultaneously started making a call: "Hey, Anna, Anna Gordon! It's me, yes, that's right, Fred. Okay, listen. I said, I know you still have an invitation letter for the reception that CBS is hosting at the Hilton Hotel today... well, give it to me, I have something important... Damn, don't haggle with me, stinky motherfucker, you You still owe me a favor!"
