Chapter 35: Asleep
Things on shijie are always changing, maybe one second you are confident, but the next second you are full of despair, and you don't know what the outcome will be until you get to zuihou, and the same is true for the reborn.
Life is like chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like. Sean likes this sentence very much, he knows that in his previous life, "Forrest Gump" was criticized by some people as an anti-intellectual movie, but if you think too much, you will inevitably be timid, and if you are timid, you will not be able to seize the opportunity, and doing or not doing it will always be two results.
He is now grateful to his agent, and originally only wanted to seek an audition opportunity, but he didn't expect Frederick to not only win it, but also have an additional opportunity to interview. Which allows him to be in Anthony? In front of Minghella, he tried his best to express his experience during this time, the insights he gained from repeated reading and practice, and what he learned from USC.
From the uncontrollable "Cut" at the beginning, I know that Minghella has a certain recognition of his performance, as long as he can impress the other party, it can further increase his weight.
Of course, Sean was well aware that even so, the odds were pitifully slim, and Frederick was right, he was indeed whimsical. But so what? His intuition told him that it would be a good movie, maybe he had seen it in his previous life, but he had forgotten it, and if he missed this opportunity, no one knew when the next time would be. So, as long as you do your best, don't regret it.
"What are you doing here alone, Sean?" The voice was full of enthusiasm, and you didn't need to look to know who it was.
"I just want to be quiet and think about something." Sean turned around and said with a smile to Jordana.
"It's party time, how can you hide in a corner and think about things, isn't that what you should do when you're alone at home?" Jordana grumbled, then grabbed his hand without saying anything and walked over to her friend.
Sean shook his head with a smile, still relying on her to pull himself forward, during the Christmas to New Year's holiday, he spent most of his time in his apartment, constantly practicing and figuring out. Especially after Naomi returned to Australia for Christmas, she almost stayed at home, and only attended two parties after the New Year, and both of them were invited by Jordana after coming from New York.
This made him a little ashamed, this kind of thing should be done by himself, especially when they have feelings for each other. Sean can be sure of this, as he said before, some things are different in the past and this life, this life is not like being single all the time in the previous life, he opened his mind as early as 14 years old, and then he was out of control.
As if to compensate for his past life, he soon became fond of it and had fun in time. Even so, Sean is not a guy with excess hormones, and his favorite thing to do is to coax the girl to be happy, and only after having a deep feeling does he start to untie his clothes - well, Jennifer was an accident, he thought about being in person after that night, but because he really didn't know what to say, and he didn't know their attitude, plus he wanted to fight for the opportunity of "Genius Ripley", so he dragged it out until now.
However, so far, there has been no news from the crew of "Friends", as if this incident had not happened. And after this weekend, the "Talented Ripley" crew will probably announce the results, so no matter what the results are, he should find time to do it.
For the time being, it's back to the party, Sean is different from ordinary young people in the United States, and he is not very keen on parties, but it would be nice if he could meet a guy to talk to at the party, but unfortunately tonight is a different situation.
"By the way, what did you just say, you're a TV actor?" A young man about Sean's age sat on the couch, put his arm around a girl's shoulder, and asked in a lazy tone.
"Yes, a new TV actor." Sean, although he didn't like his tone, didn't show it on his face.
"New to the industry? That is to say, what kind of masterpiece is there that can be left unasked? The other laughed.
"Hey, Simon, what are you talking about!" Without waiting for Sean to speak, Jordana, who was still chatting and drinking with her friends, immediately asked, and with obvious dissatisfaction.
"Nothing, I'm just asking." Simon rolled his eyes and raised his hand.
"Sorry, Sean, maybe we should change places." Jordana whispered.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Sean smiled, then tapped the back of her hand and glanced at Simon again, and sure enough, a look of unhappiness flew across the guy's face.
"Well, I'm not going to talk about that," Simon said, picking up two cans of beer, "How about one?" ”
"Xiexie, I'm sorry though, because I can't drink because there's something tomorrow." Sean politely declined.
"Oh? What is so important that you can't even drink on the weekend? Simon asked with interest.
"I auditioned for the crew of "Ripley the Genius", and I have to wait for the notice tomorrow, so I can't get up too late." Sean explained.
"You went to audition for the actor role in 'The Talented Ripley'? Oscar-winning director Anthony? That movie directed by Minghella? Jordana, who was next to her, immediately approached Sean and asked in a surprised tone, this intimate action suddenly made Simon even more unhappy.
"I seem to have heard that this is the second audition for "The Talented Ripley", and they have already chosen the actor before, but because the director and the investor have conflicts, they want to put pressure in this way." A slightly older young man spoke up at this time, obviously also working hard in Hollywood.
"Is that so, Sean?" Simon grinned.
"I've heard that, too," Sean nodded, not shying away at all, "but what does it matter?" You shouldn't give up even the slightest opportunity, should you? ”
"That's right, for actors, every such audition opportunity is precious," the young man who spoke out before stood on his side at this time.
Simon's face was a little unsightly again, and he snorted after a while: "I don't understand, it's naturally good to be an actor if you can become famous, but how many people can become famous?" ”
"Are you talking about me, Simon?" Jordana spoke up again, frowning and already quite unhappy.
"I'm daoqian." The other party hurriedly lowered his posture, and although Jordana was obviously displeased, she didn't say anything more.
Then, she picked up the beer can again and smiled at Sean's signature charming: "Let's wish Sean a successful audition." ”
Then he thoughtfully handed him a non-alcoholic drink: "Since you don't drink, then drink juice." ”
"Good luck, Sean." The others followed suit with the beer cans, and while Simon was hostile to him, most of them were still very friendly.
“xiexie。” Sean took a big sip, and then said to Jordana, "Don't drink too much, little Joe, or you won't be able to drive back later." ”
"It's okay, you can send me back, can't you?" Jordana smiled and gently gave him an elbow, "That's it, you don't drink anyway." ”
This was already quite an intimate performance, which made several other men show envious looks, and Simon's face became more and more unsightly.
Sean couldn't help but smile bitterly, he knew that she said this on purpose, so he leaned into her ear and whispered, "Didn't you notice, Simon wants to soak you." ”
"Of course I know, that guy was my high school classmate, and he came to the University of California after graduation, and he is a pretty nasty person, so you should be my shield." Jordana shrugged.
In this case, Sean has no other way, but he is somewhat happy in his heart. Although I have made an appointment with Jordana once, and I have been invited to two parties by her, this is the third time, and I both know how each other feels, but I don't know Weishenme, Jordana has always had a little bit of a taste for him.
So, it's good to be a shield, and the one over there can't do it if you want to.
"No problem, don't worry about me, it's enough to have this guy send me back!" Coming out of the villa, Jordana grabbed Sean's arm and giggled and shouted to her friend.
"I don't have to worry, I already sent her back after the party last week, Sammy knows." Sean said the same thing, and Sammy in his mouth was one of Jordana's friends.
"Do you hear that, Dominic, I'm fine, I've never been so good!" Jordana waved her arms, and if Sean hadn't grabbed her with a backhand, she might have started jumping.
"Okay, be careful on the road." In this case, the young man named Dominic did not insist anymore, but just admonished.
Sean, who was holding Jordana, looked at the gate of the villa again, found no sign of Simon, shrugged his shoulders casually, and he helped her to walk towards the blue Lotus. Although the sports car of this British brand is not the most haode, it is not much worse, but although Sean has always wanted to buy a sports car, it is somewhat awkward to practice driving a women's sports car.
"Oh, Sean, look at the sky, weishenme that moon is so small, yet so bright?" Jordana, who was in the car, leaned back in her chair and babbled nonsense.
"That's the interior light." Sean shook his head and brought her the insurance to tie up.
"Can I do without this?" Jordana then began to tug on the safety belt again.
"Of course not, unless you want me to be stopped by the patrol and then crawl on the ground and be searched by them." Sean sighed.
"Hmm...... Sounds good. Jordana chuckled.
Rolling his eyes, Sean sat into the cab and finally started the car. Even so, Jordana kept talking, I really don't know how much she drank.
"Hey, Sean, what are you dating me for?" She asked suddenly, leaning sideways, looking at him driving without blinking. In the dark carriage, I couldn't see her crimson face clearly, but her eyes were extremely bright, and I didn't know if she was really drunk or pretending to be drunk.
"I like you," Sean said, looking ahead, "you're sexy, lively, and enthusiastic, you like to try new things, you don't want to be inhibited, you're straightforward, you don't like to fake, and you are very charming." ”
"So, you want to sleep with me?" Jordana said this, even if the light was very dim, she could still see the corners of her mouth curled.
"I don't deny it, it's the nature of men after all." Sean touched his nose with some embarrassment.
"Ha, if you're not very straightforward, then you must be very good at deceiving people." Jordana chuckled.
"Maybe, but I don't want to annoy or make you uncomfortable by hiding it," Sean said, his voice a little low, "So, how about we have another date when the results come out tomorrow?" It's just the two of us...... If you don't answer, I'll take you by default. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that at some point, Jordana had fallen asleep.
