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

He knew that there must be something wrong with him making this appearance, after all, in the previous few contacts, although Frederick could say some witty things, he had never joked like now. But he still didn't expect that the other party would ask him to give up this role!

"I know how you feel, Sean, but please hear me out." Frederick raised a hand and said in as sincere a tone as he could.

Although Sean wanted to have a seizure, he finally endured it: "You say it." ”

"It's my fault," the agent sighed, "I got some ...... after I got your call I was too surprised to take the time to gather detailed information, which led to the current situation. ”

After a pause, he added: "To put it simply, the two screenwriters of "Everybody Loves Raymond" at present, Eric? Reece and Jeremy? Stevenson has a deep conflict, you were chosen by Eric, so you will definitely be suppressed by Stevenson. If it's any other time, it's no problem, anyway, you only have one episode, and at most if the ratings are good, add another episode. But now it's different, Stevenson is planning to kick Reece out, and has already said that David, one of the producers? Letterman, and he's been on the set longer than Reese, has an advantage in that regard. Do you know what that means? You've intervened in something you shouldn't be involved in, and if you're not careful, your future may be ruined! ”

"That's it?" Sean narrowed his eyes and hugged his arms, "That's it, so I should automatically give up this hard-won opportunity?" ”

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Frederick snorted, gritting his teeth and laughing a little angrily, "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 is stressing you out? Stevenson? Sean's gaze was a little chilly.

“…… Yes, he called me," Frederick raised his hands with annoyance at being exposed, "but I'm doing it for your own good, Sean!" If you're a slightly more famous ......."

"Good for me? I've heard this many times, and I don't need you to repeat it. This sentence suddenly ignited Sean's anger, "I know you once represented Sandra?" Bullock and George? Clooney, Fred, but I think you obviously don't understand that they weishenme will fire you! ”

"Oh? Is it? I didn't know you knew Hollywood so well," Frederick asked aloud, also angry, with a sarcastic tone, "and tell me, genius, what are you going to do?" What are you going to do when Reece or Stevenson take out their anger on you and leave you with no place here?! ”

"That's better than doing nothing at all!" Not to be outdone, Sean raised his voice, "Fight for every opportunity, that's what you said!" I'm so easy to get a role now, and you want me to give up, so what am I going to do in the future? Going to sell ass?! ”

"I told you, this is reality, this is fucking reality!" Frederick was furious, "There are no parents here who revolve around you all day, there are no friends here who can be called by you who are willing to do anything for you, this is not a place where you can do whatever you want, and hard work can be rewarded!" Some people are just lucky enough to get what they want, while some people are doomed to fail because of all kinds of things, no matter how hard they try! ”

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

After a while, Fred spoke again: "Listen, Sean, even if you are a slightly famous actor now, I will not advise you to do this, even if you have only played some simple roles, you can sit firmly in your place and watch them fight." But you're not, you're just a little person in their eyes, an insignificant little person who can be discarded at any time, no one cares about you, and no one wants to help you, except me! ”

After adjusting his mood, he said a lot more earnestly: "I still think you have potential, Sean, but because of this, what you need now is a way to take the first step safely!" Reece and Stevenson are bound to have a fierce fight, and once you get into it, it might be fine if the side wins, but if the other side wins, then you probably won't be able to move an inch in the future! So I suggest that you quit to protect yourself, you can not show up, I will talk to you, and if you can seize the opportunity, I can even get a promise in exchange. ”

Sean was silent and never spoke, and only when the street lights on the street began to light up did he raise his head: "Sorry, Fred, I refuse. ”

He straightened up and looked at the agent's eyes unusually bright: "I know this shijie is very unfair, some people are born with more, but this is definitely not a reason for me not to do my best." I'm not an idealist, I just know one thing, when I make up my mind to do something, I have to do it with all my might! I don't know when there will be such an opportunity next time, and I don't want to sell my ass or flatter some people without principle, so I refuse to give up, refuse to exchange for that illusory promise! ”

"How many times do you want me to say, Sean, give up now for the future......" Frederick covered his forehead.

"I don't live in the past, I don't live in the future, I only live in the present! All I'm going to catch is now! Sean interrupted him, "Even if Zuihou fails, or even gets kicked out of Hollywood, as long as Zuihou does his best, I can accept it!" I have nothing to lose, I can't give up everything! To paraphrase those cliché family movies in Hollywood, I don't want to regret lying in my chair when I'm old, if I could have persevered a little longer, if I had exhausted the methods available, maybe my life would be different now! ”

He stood up, propped his hands on the round table, and looked at Frederick condescendingly, his eyes brightening more and more, as if a fire was burning: "I understand your difficulties, and I don't expect you to help much, Fred, but! Maybe one day, I'll grovel and kneel in front of some people and pray for a chance, but that won't be today! Maybe one day, I will be poor and uncared for, and I will not be able to leave a trace of myself on this shijie, but that will not be today!! Today, I don't care if anything stands in my way! Even if my zuihou will break my head and bleed, I will never give up!! ”

Saying these words word by word, Sean let out a sigh and turned to walk out. Frederick looked at him blankly, as if he couldn't think anymore, and subconsciously stretched out his hand when he saw him leave, until Sean was about to fall on the street.

"Damn boy, who does he think he is!" The agent lowered his head and scratched at it for a while, and at the same time roared in a low voice of rage.

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

"Why didn't you see it in the first place, this guy is such a stubborn person?!"

"Does he really think he's some great character?!"

He kept growling, raising his hand again and again and clenching it into a fist, trying to smash it on the table, but each time he raised it in the air and put it down. An unspeakable, uncomfortable, and bitter feeling quickly spread in his chest, constantly devouring his heart, making him want to scream out loudly, and his fisted hand began to tremble slightly.

Outrageous...... Outrageous! Frederick breathed heavily, he actually knew that this feeling was called unwillingness. He should have laughed at Sean's words, such naivety and self-indulgence would only make people achieve nothing, but those words kept echoing in his chest, with a strange resonance, and all kinds of things that had happened suddenly jumped out of his mind, making him unbearable.

He also knew that as a sane agent who had almost been a decade old—even if he spent a third of his time as a receiver and assistant—he should not be swayed by this feeling, but at this moment he let it dominate his body.

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

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

"Listen, I can help you," the agent grabbed him by the collar and pulled his face in front of him, staring into his eyes and poking his fingers hard into his chest, "but you have to do what I say, everything, you have to do what I say, and do your best, understand?!" ”

After staring 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 try to analyze the personality traits of the characters as much as you can, practice every way you can think of acting, and do as good as you can in either way - at least ten times better than that day in the bank!

Secondly, you're now Reese's man, so I want you to be on his side without reservation! No matter how much Stevenson threatens and lures you, you can't waver, and you must let Reese know!

Again, you are a newcomer, a complete newcomer, so be sure to keep your head down in front of Reese, he doesn't have a good 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 with all your heart. ”

"I see," Sean replied solemnly, "I'll do my best to do all three." ”

"So be it, I'll take care of 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, he should believe to the end.

"I'm crazy." After getting into the car, the agent pulled the collar and said to himself, but he didn't have much regret, but was faintly excited.

After driving the car down the street, he started making calls at the same time: "Hey, Anna, Anna? Gordon! It's me, yes, that's right, Fred. Well, listen to me, I know you still have an invitation there, which is the invitation to CBS's cocktail party at the Hilton today...... Very good, give it to me, I have something important...... Damn, don't bargain with me, stinky bitch, you still owe me a favor! ”
