Chapter 84: Premiere (1)

The person in the mirror is dressed in a straight black suit, no tie, and the neckline of the white shirt is slightly open, which makes him a little free and uninhibited in the solemnity.

Sean took a deep breath, and after trying his best to get the male lead of "The Genius Ripley" in a near-miraculous way, he was finally about to meet the result of Zuihou. But at this moment, my heart was extremely calm, and all the worries and tensions I had before were swept away, as long as I remembered the face of Affleck a few days ago.

That's right, as long as you do your job well and do your best to do your job, even if you fail, it's acceptable. This was what he had always believed. You can't make everyone like it, and this shijie is not how much you give in return, so it's okay to be nervous and worried a little, there's no need to care too much and trust your instincts.

As for Affleck's ridicule and contempt, Sean didn't pay attention to it at all, even though the other party was already well-known in Hollywood and won the Oscar for Best Screenplay with his friends. Essentially, Affleck and the Lyman who was on the crew of "Everybody Loves Raymond"? There is not much difference between Versa, they all just regard him as a small person, and Sean is indeed just a small person now, although he has had an affair with Gwyneth, although he has been constantly questioned by the media because of his role as the actor in "The Genius Ripley", but he still does not have many connections and popularity in Hollywood.

So it's no wonder that they look at him with that kind of gaze, as it said, it doesn't mean that there must be a return if there is a pay, and they are not interested in dealing with small people. It's just that many things don't know the result until Zuihou is a moment.

Clicking, opening the door, Sean came to the living room, and Galen and Frederick, who were already waiting there, immediately stood up together.

"Look, it's pretty fit, it's pretty handsome, isn't it?" The agent, dressed in a neat suit, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then took a deep breath: "Are you ready?" ”

Eun didn't speak, looking at his best friend, and Galen, who was also dressed in a suit, gave a thumbs up.

"Let's go, go and win our honor!" Sean said-

The premiere was not on the Walk of Fame, nor at the Chinese Theater, which is one of Hollywood's most famous theaters, but Miramax's choice of spotlight theater is just as good. This cinema is part of the Pacific Cinema Line, which once represented the trendy development of cinema, and many films have premiered here.

The red carpet has been rolled out, and the large poster has been hung up, Sean is in the front, and Jude and Gwyneth are standing in the back, or Jude and Gwyneth are doing intimate gestures in a deeper place, and Sean is frowning and looking back with a slight squint, faintly with an indescribable emotion. The overall color tone is dim and yellow, giving people a feeling of sunset, which is very compatible with the theme.

Reporters gathered in front of the fence, holding their cameras high and quickly pressing the shutter on the red carpet stars, and some fans held up homemade signs and screamed at their favorite idols.

Sean arrived a little late, and by the time he got out of the car, the streetlights were already quite bright. There was no expected flashing light, and the reporters on both sides of the fence seemed to be focused on Jude, who was about to reach the door. Luo didn't seem to recognize the young man who had just gotten out of the car, the same person they had tried to interview more than a month ago.

"Looks like your preparation won't work, Fred." Galen, who was half a body behind Sean, teased Frederick at this time.

From the moment he got into the car, the agent kept instilling some precautions in Sean, such as what traps to be careful of when reporters asked questions, such as what kind of posture to make in front of the camera, etc. Okay, that's a good thing, but the problem is that he'd said these things a few days ago, and he'd always be talking about them whenever he had time, plus the way he clenched his fists from time to time, or put the back of his hand in his mouth to bite, and if you think about it, you can see that this guy is actually nervous.

It is understandable that this is Sean's first work as a leading actor after all, and there has never been anyone in Hollywood like him, who has only been an actor for less than half a year and played the leading role in the hands of an A-level director. Because of this, most reporters, media, and film critics are not very optimistic about him, and the agent has to share a lot of this huge pressure.

At first, he was optimistic, but as the premiere date approached, he would smoke a few seconds of madness from time to time. Although most of the time it is relatively calm, when it comes to related things, I can't keep my mouth shut. Compared to this, Sean's previous nervousness and worry were nothing.

Therefore, Sean had to repeatedly say that he could cope with it in the car: "When I encounter a question that is really difficult to answer, I will tell him directly, unfortunately, there is no comment." ”

"But they can write in the report, you are speechless in the face of so-and-so problem!" Frederick was still very worried.

"Then it's up to you, you're next to you, and you can always find a way to divert the topic, can't you?" Sean unceremoniously kicked the ball back.

Although I was nervous for a long time, I was chased by reporters everywhere after the scandal before, but I didn't expect to appear in front of them now but no one paid attention, I really don't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Do you think it's better to use it or not?" Frederick gave Galen a roll of his eyes.

However, this situation did not last long, Jude was the first to spot Sean, and he was about to enter the theater immediately called out and walked straight over. The surrounding reporters were stunned for about half a minute, and then they didn't know who shouted, "That's Sean?" Don", suddenly, all the long guns and short cannons were aimed at him.

For many reporters, every time they think back to the scandal more than a month ago, they are somewhat unhappy, a little-known actor, how can he not find a trace, so that the photos used in the report were either taken secretly that night, or in the archives that could be found. So, one can imagine what they will do when they finally catch him on the red carpet.

"You did it on purpose, Jude?" hugged Jude, and then faced Sean, who was smiling at the reporter who was taking the photo, and asked in a low voice.

"What, I saw a friend come over to say hello, is there any problem?" Jude, who also allowed reporters to take pictures, pretended to be crazy and stupid.

"You're going in, but after seeing me, not only did you come out again, but you also shouted hello, aren't you just worried that the reporter won't see me, and let me go into the theater easily?" Sean snorted.

"It's sad that you think I have bad intentions." Jude sighed, seeming very disappointed.

"No, Jude," Sean shook his head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "I just wanted to tell you that even if you didn't, these guys would find out about me." ”

Jude suddenly turned his head and coughed lightly, and the reporters shouted "Mr. Tang" and "Mr. Tang" even louder, as if annotating his words, and even one guy stepped on the fence with both feet, almost half of his body stretched out, eager to put the microphone into Sean's mouth.

So, accidentally, as soon as his foot slipped, he fell down amid the exclamations of everyone. Fortunately, Sean kept it in his eyes and immediately bent his knees and reached out to support him.

"Be careful, man, don't get hurt on the job." He said.

"If you had come earlier and answered my question, I wouldn't have done this, would I?" The reporter, who was easy to stand firm, immediately handed the microphone to him again, smiling with a look of hope.

Sean couldn't help but want to laugh, he really didn't have any bad feelings about this reporter who was slightly fat and sweaty but didn't want to give up: "Okay, okay, what do you want to ask...... Alexander? Grant? ”

"We all know that you only started as an actor in September last year, how did you get the leading actor in "Talented Ripley"." This guy said quickly, almost grasping every minute.

"Well, frankly, I don't know," Sean said, "I just did what I had to do, like read the original novel carefully, take the emotions of the characters seriously, and then show them at the audition, and tell Mr. Minghella all about my thoughts when I talk to him." I think Mr. Minghella made such a choice, probably somewhere that struck him. ”

"What do you think of the movie Ripley?" Grant then asked again.

"I'm sure it's going to be a great film, and Mr. Minghella is very good at digging into human nature and being very good at controlling the film. We also have many great actors, like Philip? Seymour? Hoffman, Gwyneth? Paltrow, Jack? Davenport and ...... Kate? Blanchett and Jude? Lowe," Sean said, handing back Jodera, who was already about to leave, "I learned a lot from them that made me grow up quickly, like Jude, who made more sacrifices than I did in the movies. Moreover, at first, we were very cold to each other, but as the shooting deepened, we became friends. ”

"yes," Jude rolled his eyes, "the friend he often pushes out as a scapegoat." ”

Even though they knew it was a joke, the reporters got excited and kept pressing the shutter in their hands.

"Are you still dating Ms. Paltrow, Mr. Don?" A reporter seized the opportunity to ask.

"We've already clarified the matter, it's pointless to ask like this, we're just friends, I just invited her to dinner and then sent her home out of courtesy." Sean replied quietly.

But this obviously did not satisfy the reporters, and they immediately started to write about the issue again, and although Sean frowned, it was not bad.

Then, a reporter with twinkling eyes interjected: "Heard about Anthony? Director Minghella had been in contact with a lot of actors for the actor of "The Genius Ripley" before, and he had already decided, but he unexpectedly chose you, and for this reason, he and Harvey? Weinstein had a conflict, is there such a thing? ”

Sean was stunned for a moment, and was about to answer, when Frederick's hand reached out from the side, blocked the microphone and said with a smile: "There are really all kinds of rumors, haha, okay, we're going in, I'm very sorry." ”

As he spoke, the hand under him secretly pulled Sean and smiled, although he didn't understand it, he still ignored the reporter's voice for the first time, and walked to the theater with Frederick, and the first level of the premiere passed like this.
