"What do I think?" Sean frowned and was puzzled.

"That's right, what do you think." Frederick crossed his hands on the round table, "Or, let me be a little clearer, do you want this role, or don't you want it?" ”

"Of course it is......" Sean closed his mouth halfway through the sentence, his brow furrowed even more, "you mean...... You mean...... I had to ...... if I wanted this role."

"No, not necessarily, many times even if you do, you may not be able to get 100 percent," Frederick said unhurriedly, "That's why I ask you, what do you think, do you refuse or seize this opportunity." ”

"This ...... What the fuck is this! Sean burst into foul language again.

"It's all about chance," Fredirick shrugged, "and for an actor, opportunity is more important than anything else. ”

"Are you instigating me?" Sean looked at him, his eyes narrowed.

"No, I'm telling you the reality, Sean," the agent leaned forward a few points and made a candid look, "Do you know how many official actors there are in Hollywood?" Do you know how many of them might become famous? Do you know what they can do to get a chance? ”

"But......" Sean argued, but was interrupted before he could speak.

"I hope you understand, Sean, in Hollywood, any actor who wants to be famous must keep two sentences in mind," Frederick looked at him, stretched out his hand and raised a finger, "First, it is the role that makes the actor, not the actor who makes the role; Second, there is no one who cannot be replaced! From this, another sentence is derived, if you want to become famous here, then don't let go of any opportunity that you can get. ”

"Is this an unspoken rule?" Sean asked after a few seconds of silence.

"No," the broker replied again in the negative, "it's a clear rule. Maybe it's not glad to get a promotion by sleeping with your boss in another company, another group, or a government department, but here, everything is on the surface, and even well-known youth magazines like "The Voice of Youth" talk about this, suggesting that if you want to get a chance, you can do something to make you happy in private. There is no profession that is more eager for opportunities than actors, because once there is an opportunity, life will immediately become different, the gains are far greater than the gains, and no one forces them, everyone you and I want to. ”

Sean pinched the bridge of his nose as if he couldn't accept it, and Frederick paused for a moment before continuing, his fingers tapping around on the table: "Of course, not everyone is like this, and there are people who have finally got the opportunity to shine in independent films after persisting for a long time; There are also people who are lucky, and they haven't met anyone with special hobbies along the way; In addition, there are people who have family backgrounds, backgrounds, and connections, which can be used as bargaining chips for trading. However, the proportion of these people is basically negligible among so many actors in the entire Hollywood. ”

The agent finally sat up straight and looked at Sean without blinking: "I'm not going to tell you what to do, that's not my job, I'm just going to tell you what the reality is, and that there are some paths to choose from." Either try your best to get an opportunity, or wait slowly, hoping that luck will befall you one day, or change careers as soon as possible. ”

Then, he spread out his hands and said no more.

"It's shit!" After a few moments, Sean said this, then got up and left without saying a word.

Frederick didn't stop him, and only drank the coffee in front of him after watching him leave, then shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "That's why I hate idealists." ”

Is Sean an an idealist? Of course not, they have already been human beings in two lives, and they have experienced that kind of life in their previous lives, how can they still be idealists.

He may still be a little idealistic in some aspects, but he is definitely not a person who does not understand reality, not to mention that there are no female employees in the company in his previous life, and there are female students in the school in this life who seduce the teacher for an A+ score.

However, these are never seen in the light, and the parties will never be proud of this, when can they be displayed naked under the sun and think that it is reasonable?

He also wondered if Frederick was lying to himself and putting pressure on himself to fight for the role and get a commission. But when you think about it, it's not necessary, the other party is not working for him alone, and he has not shown any value so far, there is no need for the other party to gamble with his reputation.

In any case, Sean has his own set of rules for life, and what Frederick said today is obviously beyond the scope of what he can accept.

"Can you imagine? Can you imagine! Sean grabbed the little thing's front leg and held it up to himself and asked viciously, while Polk shrunk his head and whimpered, his eyes wide in an innocent look.

Sighing and putting away his joking thoughts, Sean put the little thing down. If he could, he really wanted to talk to someone, such as his mother, who was very wise and always dealt with problems just right.

In this family, he is closest to his mother, followed by his sister, and his father, from the nagging when he calls home, knows how bad his relationship is with him.

Alice? Don is a very competent mother, gentle and delicate, and understanding, and never uses coercion when teaching her children.

"I know I can't stop you, Sean, but I want you to remember that we all love you and support you. So, when you encounter a problem that you can't solve on your own, be sure to tell us not to push yourself for unnecessary self-esteem, okay? She said after Sean said she was leaving San Francisco to go solo after graduating from high school.

For Sean, who lacks maternal love, the attraction is very powerful, while the philosophical question of "who am I" is still a little deeper for ordinary people, so he quickly integrated into the family after being reborn.

Of course, this is not to say that he has forgotten his past life and soul,

Just two years ago, just over the age of 16, Sean went to China with a few friends. It's a pity that although the family in the previous life was not too far from the mainland, no clues were found, as if it didn't exist in this shijie.

Because of this trip, most of his savings have been spent, so that when he came to Los Angeles after graduating from high school, he only had $1,000 in cash on him except for a used car.

Not to mention this, in short, although in the dead of night Sean will still recall all kinds of past lives, no matter how much there is still one-eighth of Chinese blood in this life, and there are many Chinese classmates and friends, San Francisco's Chinatown also often goes to wander around, making excuses for his good Chinese, his father has some connections over there, but the life is completely different from his previous life, making him no different from an ordinary American in terms of aspects.

Fun, making friends, reading, music, partying, school events, and anything else – Sean is happy to take the time to try something new.

But because of this, the relationship with his father, which could only be regarded as ordinary, has become a little sharp.

The father of this life, Tony? Tang is a somewhat old-fashioned person, who pays attention to etiquette and rules in everything, and in a sense, there is a bit of "self-denial and revenge". Sean was better as a child, but as he grew older, conflict was inevitable.

Moreover, Sean, who is a man of two lives, also has his own ideas, especially the community life since he was a child in his previous life made him seem very independent, and conflicts are inevitable. In addition, the father in the previous life often did not come back, and when he came back, there was a lack of effective communication between father and son, and from time to time there would be a few quarrels, and the images of the two fathers overlapped, and it was strange to get along well.

Despite his mother's ability to reconcile and Sean and his father respected her, after his father forbade him and the orchestra to go to bars to earn pocket money, which he saw as unprofessional, private conflicts gradually came to the fore.

Although after his sister also joined the reconciliation, the conflict was confined to the family, but it was always more and more intense day by day, so when Sean turned 18 years old, when he graduated from high school, he decisively bought a second-hand car and went to Los Angeles alone with his savings.

After thinking about it for a long time, Sean finally gave up calling his mother, this kind of thing is incomprehensible on the phone. He rubbed his head with a headache, what was he going to do next? Sensing that the master's mood was not very good, Bock ran over at this time, obediently rubbed his calf, and then obediently took the rubber ball and put it in his arms.

"Want to play with this?" Touching its head, Sean smiled and picked up the rubber ball and threw it into the air, and Pook immediately screamed and jumped after him.

The lively puppy finally made Sean laugh again, but immediately frowned again, I don't know what was being argued outside, and it hasn't ended yet.

"It's not a charity, miss, this is the second time, the bank has returned the cheque for the second time, and if you can't pay the rent, find a cheaper place." As soon as I opened the door, a neutral voice came into my ears, and I didn't have to look to know that there would be no one else but the landlord of Mexican descent.

The other party was a woman in her forties, like most ordinary Americans with a sweet tooth, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and a lot of weight. Normally, this woman is quite kind, but when it comes to rent, she immediately becomes very aggressive, as she is now.

"Believe me, Ms. Waters, it's just a minor delay, the check is definitely clearable, and it will be tomorrow." The woman who lived in the room diagonally across from Sean stood in the doorway and whispered.

"That's what you said last time, and it took me almost a week to wait!" The landlady was unceremonious.

"But...... It's still redeemed, isn't it? The woman carefully argued.

Probably thinking that she had said enough, and the woman in front of her had been submissive, the landlady looked at her for a while and nodded: "Okay, delay for a week at most." ”

With that, she turned and slammed away, leaving the woman standing gloomily in the doorway.

"Are you alright?" Sean couldn't help but walk over and asked a little unbearably.

The woman looked to be about thirty years old, blonde and blue-eyed, and despite wearing light makeup and simple clothing, she still had a special sense of beauty. Especially with a height of about 5 feet 4 inches, he is relatively petite, and he stands timidly at the door, which makes people sympathetic.

"I ...... It's okay......" After hearing Sean's words, the woman holding her arms raised her head, and her eyes were obviously a little red. She quickly turned her head, as if she didn't want to be seen like this, but quickly realized that it was rude, and added "xiexie".

"Ms. Waters is a good woman in nature, although she is very careful about rent, you don't want to ...... Take it too seriously. Sean couldn't help but say a few more words, "My name is Sean, Sean?" Don, lives across the street from you. ”

The woman looked grateful, but didn't say much, nodded apologetically and closed the door directly.

Sean scratched his head and looked around, no one came out of the other rooms, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and hurried back to the room.

This kind of pick-up is really inferior, and he is not a hairy boy, weishenme will come up with such words? He thought a little depressed. But then again, she's really attractive, and Sean noticed it when he moved in a month ago, but at that time he was struggling with life issues, and then he had ...... Well...... In the job of an extra, there is not much free time, and the other party also goes out early and returns late, so he has not been able to speak until today.

What a shame. Sean thought after sitting back in his chair and removing the rubber ball from Pock's mouth and throwing it again.
