Sean never thought about how long he would work in this industry, in his opinion, whether it is an actor or a star, he is too far away from himself, he is relatively content with two lives, and he takes this job just to solve the current problem of eating.

In fact, if he hadn't felt that if he had told the truth to Frederick, who seemed dutiful, he would have been torn to shreds.

Anyway, Sean is very satisfied with the current work of the extra, as he said before, it is very stable, because it was introduced by Endeavor Elite Agency - they have such a service - so there is no need to worry about not receiving it.

Of course, it is not comparable to actors with union backgrounds, SAG, AFTRA and major studios have regulations that a certain percentage of union members must be employed in the production of a film or TV series.

And if the job is stable, the salary is also stable, even if the legal minimum wage is $5 per hour, there is $200 a week, and if you work a little harder and work overtime, the salary during the period is 1 of the usual. 5 times, you can have $350 or more a week.

Besides, Sean came through an agency and couldn't get a minimum salary - but it still couldn't be compared to union members, and union extras could get more, which is what Weishenme Frederick would recommend.

Unfortunately, as Sean himself said, he is now on the verge of bankruptcy, where is the money to join? AFTRA is okay, it's only $1,000, and SAG is at least $2,000, and he can't take it anyway.

And the union also takes a commission from the income, but not as much as the agent, and the extras basically don't have to pay this fee. However, the most interesting thing is that the highest commission ratio is those actors who are paid tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and the big stars who really get millions of salaries don't get much, just like ...... The U.S. government has always played the middle-class idea and indulged the rich -- I don't know if it was my father or whom.

Well, in addition to these, relative ease is also a bit of a thing. Just like Sean is now, as long as he sits at a round table, holds a newspaper in front of him, or stands on the side of the street and pretends to chat with others, and the crew also provides a lunch, and there is no need for acting skills, is there a better job than this?

In this way, he can fully adjust his life, think carefully about what he should do in the future, and formulate some suitable jihua, and it is better to come to Los Angeles alone without recklessness in the future.

So the first two weeks of October were the most relaxed for Sean since he arrived in Los Angeles, playing the background during the day and partying with his new friends at night, teasing Pock in his apartment, reading books and surfing the Internet, and then planning his future.

Of course, there are some things he still has to deal with, such as-

"Don't tell me this, Lacey, look at what you yourself are like, and what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?!" Looking at the person sitting in front of him, Sean said in an irritable tone, his eyes were sideways, and he gritted his teeth a little, but his eyes were a little wandering, as if he was a little helpless.

"I didn't think to teach you a lesson...... "The middle-aged man with glasses replied with a blank face.

"Don't give me!" Sean snapped and roared.

"Okay, that's it." A voice came at this time, and Sean, who was tense and nervous, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There were several people sitting next to him, one in control of a small camera, taking pictures of all the previous shots, one always looking as if it had nothing to do with him, and the other three huddled together and whispered something to each other.

"Alright, xiexie, your show, Mr. Tang." A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a black shirt, about forty years old, with a beard, stood up and said this, making a gesture of please.

"So, Mr. Hughes......" Sean, who was walking out, looked at the middle-aged man with an inquiring gaze, wondering if he could get the role.

Frankly speaking, Frederick is a somewhat capable agent, and in three to four weeks, he won three audition roles, a small supporting role in the popular TV series "Happy Family", and two secondary supporting roles in two youth campus movies with an investment of about 20 million.

Two of them failed in their first audition, but they came to Zuihou in the audition for "Becoming Famous in One fell swoop", which tells the story of young people pursuing their dreams. Although Sean has no plans to enter the entertainment industry, it would be good if he had a good role.

As mentioned before, he has acted in dramas and musicals in school, and has also won a place in a national high school competition, so it is definitely impossible to say that he has no desire to perform. It would be good if you could have a role that you could play and get a lot of money by the way, so that you could save money faster.

What's more, maybe you can get the leading role, this audition didn't determine the specific role at the beginning, from the first audition to the retest, Sean has tried several roles.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tang, don't worry." Went out with him, the casting director of the movie, David? Hughes smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

I don't know weishenme, Sean always felt that this guy's smile had something else in it, a kind of ...... Feeling familiar?

"Guys," Hughis summoned a few of the actors who were waiting outside and who were also involved in the final audition, after leaving the audition room, "I have to say, you all did a great job, so it was hard to decide who was more suitable for a while. I've got to put your files in the hands of the producers, and they'll be able to make their decisions, so please be patient and wait for a reply, understand? ”

"Haode, Mr. Thewris." Several of the candidates nodded.

Sean was also among them, although he was a little disappointed, but with his current relaxed mentality, he didn't pay too much attention to it. However, what I didn't expect was that when I was about to leave, I was gently patted by Hughes.

He was a little confused, but he quickly noticed the other man's eyes, and a few thoughts quickly turned in his head, and finally he stayed for a moment, waiting for the others to go out before turning to the side of the corridor with Hughis.

"You're from San Francisco, aren't you, Mr. Tang?" Hughes asked first.

"Yes." Sean nodded.

"It's a beautiful city," Hughis laughed, a little meaningful, "I wanted to move there for a while, and a lot of Hollywood actors are from San Francisco." ”

Although there was a slight feeling that the preface did not match the afterword, his tone was controlled just right, making his words sound like greetings to talk about business.

"Listen, Sean, from my personal point of view, you and Randy? Keitel is the best for the male lead. "But producers and investors obviously don't think so, and I ask you now, do you want to get the role?" ”

"Hmm...... Of course. Sean replied quietly.

"Very well," Hughis narrowed his eyes, as if pleased with his answer, "then the night after tomorrow, we have a party in our company at Winston Bar in Beverly Hills, and if you wish to attend, I can introduce you to them at the party, and then it's up to you to win and convince them." ”

"Did Keitel get an invitation too?" After thinking for a few seconds, Sean asked cautiously.

Randy? Keitel was one of the actors who auditioned and went all the way to Zuihou, he didn't know how his acting skills were, after all, he hadn't been exposed to it much, but he was also a sunny and handsome young man.

"Of course." Hughres nodded.

"Okay, I'll participate." Although he felt that something was not right, Sean still agreed, and then listened to Hughis again: "Very good, then a little later tomorrow, I will call you and him separately, and then find a place to be calm and explain the specific situation." ”

Sean suddenly frowned in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface: "I know." ”

"So be it." Hughis patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and the indescribable amusement came to his face again.

What the hell is this guy trying to do? Sean thought after getting out of the studio office area and back in his car. My instinct told me that something was wrong with this guy, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

In short, what is certain at the moment is that the guy's gaze is familiar, but definitely not a good thing. Sean scratched his head and looked through the car window at the distant studio. Weishenme will feel familiar, and what is the meaning of what he said? Also asked if I was from San Francisco...... Wait a minute!

Sean's eyes suddenly widened, and he took a sharp breath, and the answer jumped out directly in front of him. Although he thought it was a little ridiculous, his intuition told him that it was indeed the answer.

"Damn it." Sean slapped the steering wheel, and then smiled bitterly, this is too, actually ......

After thinking about it again, he got out of the car to find a phone booth and dialed out: "Hey, Fred? It's me, Sean, huh...... Are you available now? I want to talk to you...... Haode, I'll wait for you there. ”

"You say...... Does he want to you? Sitting at a small round table under a parasol on the side of the café street, Frederick took a few seconds to digest Sean's words and put on a smiling expression......

"No doubt about it, don't forget where I'm from, Fred, I'm pretty familiar with this kind of gaze." Sean was annoyed and depressed.

It's very likely that Hughes is gay, considering that Sean has lived in San Francisco for almost eighteen years, and that place has been the center of homosexuality in North America since the 70s, and some neighborhoods can be dazzled by rainbow flags, and there is an endless stream of gay couples on the streets, so he is all too familiar with that kind of gaze.

If he hadn't spent five months in Los Angeles and now his mind was full of planning for the future, he would have seen it firsthand.

These, plus those few hints, there is no need to say much about the reason for the guy to ask him out.

"You're going to call me out for this?" Frederick asked unhurriedly, "Can't you find a store to buy Vaseline and condoms?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Sean frowned, "Don't you think it's disgusting?" I'm not gay! ”

"And Weishenme?" The agent sighed softly in his heart.

"I just want to know what's going on." Sean waved his hand, looking dissatisfied.

"Well, tell me frankly, what do you think, Sean." Frederick asked after taking a breath.
