"This ...... This one...... And this, and then that's pretty much it. Galen took a dozen beers from the shelves and tapped Sean next to him with his elbow, "Anything else?" ”

"Hmm...... Well? Oh, so be it. Sean, who came to his senses, replied.

"Hey, Sean, what's going on with you, how did you come back from New Zealand and you've been absent-minded?" Galen, pushing the shopping cart, asked as he walked to the cashier.

"This ...... It probably has something to do with the imminent release of "The Genius Ripley," Sean explained, "You know, the entertainment reports these days are not very promising, and the reasons are all attributed to me. ”

"Those guys are cared about, they just want to catch the reader's eye," Galen patted him on the shoulder, no doubt of him, "Besides, you don't say it often, and your intuition tells you that this is going to be a great work." ”

"Yes, of course, but it's the first time in life after all," Sean turned his hands, "It's inevitable that you will be nervous and worried about anything for the first time, what if the actual situation is different from what you expected?" What if you mess up yourself? The first time I went to school, the first time I read a text in front of a lot of people, the first time I played a game, the first time I did ...... Love ......"

Speaking of zuihou, he couldn't help but pause, and then sighed silently in his heart.

"Okay, okay, then let's have some fun tonight and relax completely." Galen then said.

"Come out and sell beer to relax?" Sean changed his teasing tone.

"Hey, you're the one who volunteered to buy a beer for the party, I'm just a poor worm who was implicated." Galen rolled his eyes and said, "If it weren't for you, I'd still be flirting with the hot girls at the party." ”

"yes, when did you get a hot girl, how come I don't know?" Sean asked as he paid the bill.

"Because your attention isn't on me, it's a girl of Latin descent with beautiful long legs......," Galen Haha smiled and walked out of the convenience store with a beer.

Seeing him like this, Sean was basically relieved, Galen should not be aware of his problem.

To be honest, he didn't expect that it would be Kate who would play Galadriel, although he vaguely remembered that the actor was Australian, but the memory was intermittent after all, so after seeing her, a hundred feelings echoed in his heart for a while.

Sean once thought that he had forgotten her, and every time he thought of Kate's cold tone that morning, he knew that he had done something wrong this time, and he was afraid that he would meet in the future, and he would not be able to have any contact with her. He doesn't regret it, because it's useless, he does it, and if he does it, he has to bear the consequences that follow, he just regrets it, it shouldn't be this result.

So, after returning from Italy, he tried to forget, to try to bring that elegant woman, Kate? Blanchett, get out of your head. And he feels that he has also achieved some results, including Naomi, who used to share ups and downs and is now in a vague relationship, and Jordana, who is enthusiastic and lively and occasionally makes a surprise or two words, plus accidentally got Catherine in his hands while filming "The Grim Reaper", it seems that Kate is really moving away from him, until he meets Gwyneth in the post-studio of "The Genius Ripley".

That similar temperament and appearance immediately evoked Sean's memories, so he involuntarily invited her to dinner. Unexpectedly, there was a scandal afterwards, which made him scramble to deal with it, plus all kinds of things, life and work, and this evoked miss immediately sank again.

Since then, Sean thinks that he has gotten rid of the desires and emotions that were aroused by certain factors, but when he meets Kate again in New Zealand, he realizes that all his previous efforts have been in vain. Especially when she stood in front of her, the feeling of wanting to own her and hug her in her arms surged out of her long-suppressed heart.

Although Sean tried his best to control himself, except for saying hello and saying a word to relieve the siege, he didn't go to her again, let alone talk, but he couldn't help himself from staring at her. He knew he would have feelings for her in the first place, and he knew it was foolish to confuse something together, but he couldn't tell it all together, just like he couldn't say anything about it after falling asleep with Naomi that night, even though it wasn't the same in many places.

And, though he had only watched from afar, and kept watching, he still knew that she had never lost her feelings for herself, and although each time they looked at each other, they quickly separated, and her eyes seemed to carry a disgust. But there are some things that can't be hidden, especially in the eyes of Sean, who is dominated by certain emotions and feelings, so until he comes back, he is still often absent-minded, thinking about Kate's everything.

Fortunately, the premiere of "The Genius Ripley" is imminent, and Sean has indeed been worried and nervous about the movie, otherwise it would be difficult to fool Galen, who saw something. After all, everyone grew up together, and they all know very well what kind of people each other are, and if they are really guessed, although they don't worry about him saying it, it is not very appropriate after all.

For Kate, he had already made a mistake once, and he couldn't do it again, she was already a married woman, so the less people knew about it, the better.

Let go of this matter for the time being, the most important thing at the moment is the premiere of "The Genius Ripley", Christmas is just around the corner, and he has already been invited to attend, so it is better to seize the time to relax at the party.

Today's party was held by Naomi and her friends, yes, it was Naomi and her friends, not Jordana and her friends, and it was not for young people to throw a party. For more than a year, Naomi's career has not improved, but her life has improved a lot, so she threw a party with a few friends, which improved her mood and was considered a ...... Meet with Sean in public.

"My advice on this is not to care about any kind of comments until the movie is released. What the hell is like in the movie, you have to watch it to know, just because of who played it, you can make a judgment that it will not succeed, which is quite unstandard. In the corner of the living room of the detached house, a man who looked to be in his thirties said.

"So you don't have to mind too much, Sean, since the results of the test screening are not bad, then the official release will not be much worse." Another woman of about the same age laughed.

They're all friends of Naomi, or friends of friends, and it's normal for a party like this, where friends call friends, and friends who call friends. And most of them are also people who work hard in Hollywood, such as the man who comforted Sean just now, is a screenwriter who has just gotten his first job writing a movie script after writing many TV series stories, and that woman is a second-tier actor who has played a lot of supporting roles in some movies.

"Xiexie, if you have someone to support, you feel a lot more comfortable." Sean smiled, then glanced at Naomi.

She sat on another couch instead of with Sean, holding her cup with a shallow smile all the time. Although Naomi herself said that it was a date before she came, she still failed to make it clear to everyone present, and Sean felt quite subtle about it, both disappointed and happy.

"Hey, Lawrence, so you're here." A voice came from a man between the ages of 25 and 35.

He was about 6 feet 2 inches tall, a third of his head taller than Shaun, and his facial features were tough, but his expression felt a little stiff and looked a little familiar.

"Hey, Ben, I thought you weren't coming." The screenwriter who spoke before immediately stood up, smiled and hugged the other party.

"Why, I'm not going to let go of any party." The other laughed, then made a gesture to continue.

The screenwriter named Lawrence immediately began to introduce him, and then, when he arrived at Sean's place, he suddenly stopped and showed a hesitant look. And the man named Ben was a little strange at first, but after taking a closer look at Sean, he immediately laughed and sneered.

"This I know, the famous Sean? Don, right? He reached out and looked at Sean with a condescending gaze, "I'm Ben?" Affleck. ”

Sean immediately suddenly, no wonder he felt a little familiar, no wonder he made such an expression, it turned out to be him.

"Nice to meet you." He stood up quietly and shook his hand.

"Let me guess," Affleck said, taking his hand back before he could shake it, "you must be talking about the upcoming Ripley The Genius, right?" ”

"Hmm...... Yes. Lawrence replied a little embarrassed, chatting so happily before that he almost forgot about the noisy scandal more than a month ago, and most people still think that Gwyneth broke up with Affleck because Sean was inserted halfway.

"Actually, I don't think there's any need to dwell on these, as long as an actor tries his best to interpret the role, instead of thinking about which star to hype himself up all day long, even if he fails, he can start all over again." Affleck said, looking at Sean unceremoniously, "Really, Sean?" ”

Sean, who didn't take the almost rude handshake to heart, was stunned, and then shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent look: "Yes." ”

Seeing this, Affleck couldn't help but snort heavily, as if he was very dissatisfied with his reaction.

"If you know, it's good." He looked disdainful, and did not hide his disgust at all: "Hollywood is not a place for people like you to stand, so let's go back to San Francisco as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, he didn't say hello to Lawrence, so he turned around and left, it seems that he should really believe the rumors that Gwyneth broke up with him because of Sean, otherwise he wouldn't have been so face-rending mockery.

For a while, the atmosphere became awkward, and the previous conversation was very good, and several people couldn't speak, Naomi's face was even more ugly, although she still cared a lot about the matter between Sean and Gwyneth, but she didn't necessarily like someone to ridicule him so badly.

"Sorry, guys, for messing up the atmosphere." Sean stood up at this time, he still looked as usual, even with some relief, "I'll leave first, what happened, we'll know in a few days." ”
