MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 42 Apologize
The arrival of Galen made Sean's apartment a lot more lively, and the room that had been vacant was finally used. The two-bedroom and one-bedroom was originally rented to be with Naomi live together. But perhaps because of uncertainty about the future, or for some other reason, Naomi chose to refuse, so she left it empty. And Sean paid enough for three months, and if he returned it immediately, he would definitely lose a lot, so he stayed like this, and now it's cheaper for Galen.
The welcome ceremony was not grand but very warm. Polk yelled at Galen for about ten minutes, and was called several times by Sean before stopping. That's right, it still follows Garen around from time to time while keeping a distance. Whenever Garen does something, he immediately jumps aside and is very vigilant, making Garen extremely depressed. Is he that bad?
"When I take a shower, it won't follow, and then..." He gestured with his hands, making a click.
"There is a possibility, so be careful yourself." Sean thought about it and gave such an answer.
In contrast, Lucy was much calmer, a ball of meat rolled up on the sofa, just raised her head and glanced when the door opened, and continued to sleep.
With the assistant, Sean's standard of living immediately improved a lot. If nothing else, at least the food was much better than before. As I said before, Galen's ideal is to be a chef, and then run a restaurant that is entirely his own, and his family runs a restaurant, plus he can cook Chinese food - this is the most important point.
Although Chinese food in the United States has made a lot of changes because of the customs, there are also many good dishes. For Sean, it is enough to satisfy his cravings. Galen's restaurants are basically Chinese food. He has learned a lot, and it is precisely because he thinks Chinese food is good. In addition, he and Sean traveled to the mainland together before, and tasted a lot of original juice. Original Chinese food, so Galen had the idea.
This is one of the reasons why Sean chose Galen as his assistant, and $400 a week plus $8 an hour is a pretty good salary, and it will definitely be more in the future. will increase.
In addition, he can also have more time to do other things, such as start to study the script wholeheartedly, or—
"Finished? What do you think?" Sean, who was cutting the apple, saw Naomi close the script, and immediately pushed the cut plate over.
"Why do you cut it so small?" Naomi looked at the apple that was about to be diced, "Do you want to make a salad?"
"Of course not, it tastes better when cut into small pieces." Sean said and wiped his hands, "How about it, how do you feel about the script and characters."
"It's not bad," Naomi, who threw a small apple in her mouth, thought for a while, "The layers are clear and well organized, basically grasping the main line of the novel's story, but the rhythm is slightly A bit slow, the only regret is..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Sean and smiled maliciously: "There is no **** **** scene, not even a kiss scene."
Sean was dumbfounded.
"You just want to see me... make out with other men?" he asked angrily.
"Of course, that's a test of acting, isn't it?" Naomi's eyes were bent, and the gray-green eyes were indescribably moving.
"Okay, Nami, let's talk about the role, be specific." Sean rolled his eyes and didn't bother about this topic.
"Okay," Naomi put away her smile, who had had enough fun with him, "I think Tom Ripley is completely self-inflicted. From the time he began to accept the commission of Dick's father, he It was destined to end like this."
"But he didn't think about it that much at first," Sean objected, "he was just for the $1,000, and he never thought about it before killing Dick by mistake. He had everything for himself, he just wanted to keep getting closer to him, getting closer to his life, and he fell in love with Dick."
"But he loves himself the most, doesn't he? He does everything for himself."
"It's not fair to say that, if Dick hadn't been killed by mistake, he'd probably end up being kicked out."
"There's no manslaughter, there's murder, haven't you noticed, Sean, the script begins with him impersonating in a borrowed Princeton uniform, which says it all."
Sean didn't speak anymore, pondered for a moment, nodded and shook his head: "Your thinking is very sharp, Nami, probably because the author of the original novel is a woman. However, now the director is It's a male, and it's the director of The English Patient, Anthony Minghella, so you can refer to it, but you can only copy it."
"Well, that's my opinion anyway." Naomi shrugged and said in a noncommittal tone.
"Then let's design the details." Sean, who smiled in his heart, immediately changed the subject.
This discussion passed in an afternoon. With the help of Naomi, Sean designed several small movements belonging to Ripley in various situations. Although most of these details may not be used, they are still useful in terms of developing ideas.
"Do you really need to put so much effort into designing these?" Naomi was puzzled, "I know it's useful for performance, but it's too much. order?"
"You know, Nami, I don't have any qualifications now, and I'm completely new to an Oscar director as a leading actor," Sean, who put away the script, shrugged, " So I don't have anything else to rely on other than trying to do my job perfectly."
Naomi didn't speak for a while, then took Sean's hand after a while: "Remember to lower your posture, Sean, don't conflict with others, your experience will make A lot of actors are jealous."
"I know, Nami, I can take care of myself, don't worry." Sean smiled slightly, raised her hand in front of him, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
Naomi glanced at him with a complicated look, and was about to speak a moment later, but Sean took a step ahead: "I'll live here tonight, okay?"
"I don't know what's attractive here, it's much smaller than your current apartment, and the environment is average." Naomi sighed.
"Okay, Nami, just do me a favor." Before waiting for the other party to speak, he changed his face again, "I just found an assistant, who I used to be My friend in San Francisco is a nice guy, but for some reason Polk doesn't like him very much, so I want to give them more alone time."
Naomi couldn't help laughing, Sean immediately sat down in front of her and hugged her into his arms.
"Okay then." Naomi struggled a little and didn't move.
Sean kissed her firmly: "Then let's go out for dinner tonight."
…
If you think that this will satisfy Sean, you are wrong, but Jordana often goes back and forth between New York and Los Angeles, and after that day she returned to New York, although the halfway I've been here before, but I'm not in Los Angeles now, otherwise Sean would definitely find a way to ask her out.
For him in this life, chasing those attractive women seems to have become his nature after the 8th grade. Of course, he also draws a bottom line for himself. Don't make them sad. Maybe in the eyes of some people, this is making excuses for their own fuss, or being a bitch, but Sean has been doing it, at least from junior high school to now, no one has told the girl he has dated his bad words.
Since Jordana is not here, Sean has to look at the billboard to reminisce. The GUESS jeans print advertisement has been officially launched recently. Kevin Gould is worthy of being a well-known photographer. The shooting is young and energetic, but also very sunny and masculine, not inferior to professional models. However, Sean always felt that Jordana was the most eye-catching character in the entire advertisement. The narrow shoulder top and skinny jeans made her look very **** and hot. The charm of Latin descent was perfected at this moment. release.
At least, the first thing Galen said when he saw the ad for the first time was that the girl was so charming.
It's okay, this is just my first ad, there will be better ones in the future. Sean had no choice but to comfort himself.
Although Jordana is not at the moment, there is someone else, someone Galen wants to sign.
…
"Hey Jane, this way." Sean, who stuck his head out from the back of the trailer, wanted to shout loudly but didn't dare.
"What are you doing here?" Jennifer Aniston walked over with a sullen face.
"I'm coming..." Sean smiled shyly, although he was a little embarrassed, but when he thought of Jennifer's willingness to come out after receiving the note brought in by her trustee, he immediately regained the courage .
"I'm here to apologize." He said so, bowing his head like a schoolboy who did something wrong.
"Apologize?" As if hearing some funny joke, Jennifer's tone became exaggerated, her voice became sharper, and the feeling of gnashing her teeth was obvious.
"Listen to me, Rachel, it was an accident..." Sean hurriedly wanted to explain.
Who knew the other party's voice was sharper: "What did you call me? Sean Tang, what did you call me just now?!"
Sean couldn't help but groan secretly, and thought about how to make Jennifer, but he didn't expect to call the wrong name the fastest, he immediately raised his hands and shouted quickly and in a low voice: "Listen to me, Jane, Listen to me? I only knew you from a TV show, and basically subconsciously equated you with Rachel. I dare say 99% of people are like this, so it's my fault, but please don't get mad about it, okay?"
Jennifer tensed her face at first, glared at him, and had the intention of turning around and walking away. But as Sean spoke, he first frowned, then thoughtfully, and finally became a little helpless and... lonely.
"Is that so?"
Sean just spread his hands, and after a while, he carefully said: "I don't think this is a bad thing, after all... some actors may not be able to leave an impressive role in their lives. ."
He didn't know what kind of changes his words would cause.
