Chapter 42: Apologies
Galen's arrival has made Sean's apartment much more lively, and the room that has been vacant has finally been used, and the two-bedroom apartment was rented to live with Naomi. But perhaps because of uncertainty about the future, or for some other reason, Naomi chose to refuse, so she was empty. And Sean paid enough for three months at the beginning, and if he returned it immediately, he would definitely lose a lot, so he stayed like this, and now it happens to be cheaper Galen.
The welcome was not grand but very warm, and Polk barked at Galen for about ten minutes, and Sean called out several times before stopping. Rao is like this, it still follows Galen everywhere from time to time, and at the same time keeps a distance, as long as Galen makes any moves, he immediately jumps to the side, very vigilant, making Galen extremely depressed, is he so like a bad guy?
"When I take a shower, it doesn't follow up and ......," he gestured, gesturing his hands, making a clicking motion.
"It's possible, so be careful yourself." Sean thought for a moment and gave this answer.
In contrast, Lucy was much more calm, curling up balls of meat on the couch, only to look up at the door when the door opened, and then went back to sleep.
With an assistant, Sean's standard of living immediately rose a lot, and if nothing else, at least the food was much better than before. As mentioned earlier, Galen's dream is to be a chef and run a restaurant of his own, and his family runs the restaurant, plus he can cook Chinese food - this is the most important thing.
Although Chinese food in the United States has changed a lot due to local customs, there are also many good dishes, which are enough for Sean to satisfy his cravings. And Galen's restaurants are basically based on Chinese food, and he has learned a lot, and it is precisely because he thinks Chinese food is good, and he traveled to the mainland with Sean before and tasted a lot of original Chinese food, so Galen had this idea.
This is one of the reasons why Weishenme Sean chose Galen as his assistant, and the weekly salary of $400 plus $8 an hourly wage is already a pretty good salary, and it will definitely increase in the future.
In addition, he could have more time to do other things, such as starting to devote himself to the script, or-
"Done? What do you think? Sean, who was cutting the apple, saw Naomi close the script and pushed it over with a plate of chopping haode.
"What are you doing with such a small cut?" Naomi looked at the apple chunks that were almost diced, "Do you want to make a salad?" β
"Of course not, it's better when it's cut into small pieces." Sean said and wiped his hands, "How is it, how does it feel about the script and the characters." β
"It's not bad," Naomi thought for a moment as she threw a small apple into her mouth, "It's layered and organized, and it basically captures the main story line of the novel, but the pace is a little slow, and the only regret is ......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Sean and laughed maliciously: "There is no gay intimacy scene, not even a kiss scene." β
Sean couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"That's what you want to see me...... Making out with other men? He asked angrily.
"Of course, that's a test of acting, isn't it?" Naomi bent her eyes, her gray-green eyes indescribably moving.
"Alright, Nami, let's talk about the characters, be specific." Sean rolled his eyes and didn't dwell on the topic.
"Okay," Naomi smiled, who had had enough of making fun of him, "I think Tom?" Ripley was completely self-inflicted, and from the moment he began to accept Dick's father's commission, he was already destined to be this end. β
"But he didn't think much about it at first," Sean objected, "he was just for the $1,000, and he never thought about taking everything from him until he killed Dick by mistake, he just wanted to keep getting closer to him, closer to his life, and he liked Dick." β
"But he still loves himself, doesn't he? Everything he does is for himself. β
"It's not fair to say that, if he hadn't killed Dick by mistake, there's a good chance he'd been kicked out."
"There was no manslaughter, then there would have been murder, didn't you notice, Sean, the script starts with him wearing a borrowed Princeton University uniform, and that says it all."
Sean didn't speak again, pondered for a moment, nodded and shook his head: "Your mind is sharp, Nami, probably because the author of the original novel is a woman. However, is it for men now, or Anthony, the director of "The English Patient"? Minghella, so it can be referenced, but it can only be copied. β
"Well, that's my opinion anyway." Naomi shrugged and said in a noncommittal tone.
"So let's design the details." Sean, who was smiling secretly in his heart, immediately changed the topic.
This discussion, an afternoon passed, and with Naomi's help, Sean devised several small actions that belonged to Ripley, in various situations. Most of these details may not be useful, but they are useful in terms of developing ideas.
"Do you really need to put all this effort into designing these?" Naomi was puzzled, "I know it's useful for acting, but it's too much, isn't it?" β
"You know, Nami, I don't have any qualifications right now, and I'm playing the lead role entirely as a newcomer to an Oscar director," Sean shrugged as he put away the script, "So, I don't have anything else to rely on but to try to do my job perfectly." β
Naomi didn't speak for a while, and then shook Sean's hand: "Remember to lower your posture, Sean, don't conflict with others, your experience like this will make many actors jealous." β
"I know, Nami, I can take care of myself, don't worry." Sean smiled slightly, raised her hand in front of him, and gently kissed the back of her hand.
Naomi glanced at him with a complicated look, and was about to speak a moment later, but Sean took a step ahead: "I'll live here tonight, okay?" β
"I don't know what's so appealing here, it's much smaller than your current apartment, and the environment is very average." Naomi sighed,
"It's a one-bedroom apartment, which is much better than the one we lived in together before." Sean said with a grin, as if he didn't understand the meaning of her words at all.
"Alright, Nami, you should do me a favor," he changed his face again without waiting for the other man to speak, "I just got an assistant, a friend of mine from the old San Francisco, who is a nice guy, but I don't know Weishenme, and Pock doesn't like him very much, so I want to create more alone time for them." β
Naomi couldn't help but laugh, and Sean immediately sat down in front of her and took her into his arms.
"Okay then." Naomi struggled a little and then didn't move.
Sean immediately kissed her firmly: "Then let's go out to dinner in the evening." βββ
It would be wrong to think that this would satisfy Sean, but Jordana often goes back and forth between New York and Los Angeles, and she went back to New York after that day, although she also came over halfway, but now she is not in Los Angeles, otherwise Sean will definitely find a way to ask her out.
For him in this life, chasing those attractive women seems to have become his nature after the 8th grade, and of course, he has also drawn a bottom line for himself, so that he can get together and disperse, and don't make them sad. Maybe in the eyes of some people, this is to make excuses for his own heart, or to be a bitch to set up a torii, but Sean has been practicing it, at least from junior high school to now, and no one has ever said bad things about him from the girls he has dated.
Since Jordana is not there, Sean has to look at the billboard to reminisce, GUESS's jeans print ad has been officially launched recently, Kevin? Gould is a well-known photographer who captures him as young and energetic, sunny and masculine, not losing to professional models. However, Sean always felt that Jordanna was the most eye-catching character in the whole advertisement, with a crop top with thin shoulders and skinny jeans, making her look very sexy and hot, and the charm of Latin blood was perfectly released at this moment.
At least, the first thing Galen said when he saw the ad for the first time was that the girl was so charming.
It doesn't matter, this is just my first advertisement, and there will be more haode in the future. Sean had no choice but to comfort himself like this.
Jordana isn't there at the moment, but someone else is there, someone Galen wants to sign onβ
"Hey, Jane, over here." Sean, who poked his head out from the back of the trailer, wanted to shout loudly but didn't dare to shout.
"What are you doing here?" Jennifer? Aniston walked over with a grimace.
"I'll ......," Sean smiled wryly, a little embarrassed, but the thought of Jennifer's willingness to come out after receiving the note she had brought in from her own trustee made her feel courageous.
"I'm here for Daoqian." He said this, keeping his head down, like a schoolboy who had done something wrong.
βdaoqianοΌβ Jennifer seemed to hear some funny joke, her tone became exaggerated, her voice was much sharper, and the feeling of clenching her teeth was obvious.
"Listen to me, Rachel, it's an unexpected ......," Sean hurriedly tried to explain.
Who knew that the other party's voice was even sharper: "What do you call me?" Sean? Don, what did you just call me?! β
Sean couldn't help but secretly complain, patronizing and thinking about how to make Jennifer, but he didn't expect to call the wrong name as soon as possible, he immediately raised his hands and shouted quickly and in a low voice: "Listen to me, Jane, listen to me, okay?" This is a very normal thing, and it is also a very helpless thing. You see, you played the role of Rachel so well, and you yourself have some similarities with Rachel, we only got to know you through this TV series, and subconsciously basically equated you with Rachel. I dare say 99% of people are like that, so, it's my fault, but please don't get mad about it, okay? β
Jennifer had a tense face at first, glaring at him, and probably turned away. But as Sean spoke, first frowning, and then thoughtful, Zuihou became a little helpless and ...... Lonely.
"Is that so?" She asked with interest.
Sean just spread his hand, and after a while, he said carefully: "I don't think it's a bad thing, after all...... Some actors don't necessarily leave an impressive role in their lifetime. β
He didn't know what kind of change his words would cause.
