Chapter 9: Change

I don't know Weishenme, Sean always felt that Naomi's name was a little familiar, and he couldn't be sure if he had heard of it in his previous life, after all, as he said before, although memories don't disappear, it takes enough stimulation to recall. And even so, the memories are all piece by piece, very fragmented, and it is easy to mix with other things and become plausible, so he is too lazy to recall.

Despite all this, he still admires Naomi, who just celebrated her thirtieth birthday not long ago, and before that, she worked as a model, a fashion designer, and an assistant to a fashion magazine editor, but she has always been on the path of an actress.

Even though he got his first role at the age of 18 and went through many things from Australia to Hollywood, he never had a weighty work, but he still persevered.

Originally, at the end of 97, she finally got a very important supporting actress in an NBC TV series, but she was cut halfway because the ratings were too low after the broadcast. The financial situation has been in serious crisis as a result, and now she has overdrawn two credit cards, medical insurance has been reimbursed because she can't pay the fees, and the apartment is constantly changing, and if it weren't for Sean's help, she would have had to spend the night in her old car last night.

Even so, Naomi didn't give up.

"My mom used to be an actress for a while, a stage actress, and when I was 10 years old, when I saw her performing on stage, I decided to be an actress too." When asked by Sean what she was going to do now, Naomi, who was smiling, didn't answer directly, but started from the beginning.

"As some psychologists say, everyone has a desire to perform, to express themselves, to be different, to get applause, so even though the assistant is doing a good job, I dropped it for a role. Of course, if I had known then that it would be like this, I would have backed down, but now I just want to hold on, I don't want to just fall like that, otherwise the time and energy I put into it will be meaningless. She said very calmly, completely unable to see the grievances of being swept away by the landlord yesterday, and the firmness in her tone was very obvious.

But at the same time, she unconsciously curled up in the chair and hugged her legs, looking very contradictory.

"You will, Naomi, a lot of things are only successful because you persevered a little, and you can definitely do something about it." Sean reassured.

"Xiexie," Naomi looked down and quickly lifted it again, "I'll ask the agent to figure it out as soon as possible, after finding a new job...... Just move out, and you can come back until then. ”

"Huh?" Sean, who was about to put on a generous appearance, was stunned.

"It's not too narrow, you can make an extra bed on the ground and I can sleep on it." Naomi explained, but her voice became a little quieter later.

After a little thought, Sean understood, and it was clear that she didn't have much confidence in whether she would get the role she auditioned for recently. If she didn't get it, she might not be able to afford to rent a new apartment for a while, but she couldn't keep occupying the apartment that originally belonged to someone else and let him live in a motel, so she proposed such a plan, which could not only solve the current problem to a certain extent, but also maintain what little self-esteem she had.

As for the embarrassment that may occur in the future, I can't care so much now, anyway, after some previous conversations, the two have a certain understanding of each other, and they can trust each other.

"Okay, but there is one condition," in that case, Sean is not pretentious, "I'll sleep underground." ”

In any case, it is impossible to let a woman sleep on the ground, even though she is older than herself.

So, this strange cohabitation life began, although there is not much room for two people to move, but after all, there is only one room, so occasionally encounter some embarrassing things.

For example, Naomi woke up in the morning and woke up to see someone's flagpole, or as soon as Sean entered the door, he met Naomi coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower, wearing bottoms and a short-sleeved shirt, and the alluring spring light and shadow inside.

This is something that can't be helped, lonely men and widows are in the same room, or such a narrow room, some things are inevitable. Fortunately, both of them are restrained and good at adjusting, but the atmosphere in the apartment is maintained very well.

Sean also talked a lot about family things, his parents', his own, and his sister's. Because Liana? Don is only a few years younger than Naomi, so she talks about things the most, such as liking to use her sister's identity to oppress people, or always like to call him "Snoozing Pig" and so on.

This nickname comes from when he was a child, Sean, who was reborn as a baby, couldn't take care of himself for a long time, and it was common to urinate and urinate at will, and the most important thing was that the brain was still developing, and after a little thought, it would be because of excessive oxygen consumption, and instinctively enter the sleep state to protect itself, so there are far more when you sleep than when you are awake, and you also have this nickname.

Although Sean didn't say anything about the latter, Naomi still laughed and trembled after listening to the explanation.

In addition, Naomi will buy some food from time to time and cook it herself, which is not as good as the chef in the restaurant, but it is better to have a freshness, and Sean does not always have to eat out.

At this time, Sean will play the guitar and sing to her, his voice is not the best, but it also has a characteristic. Pock also performs some shows sometimes, and the little things are very human, and he used to train him a lot of things when he was bored

For example, Sean gestured a pistol to it, and then made a "bang" in his mouth, and the little thing flipped on the ground and turned to the sky, posing as if he had been shot and died.

It's just that there is always a delay of five or six seconds, and sometimes you even have to enjoy something to eat before you fall to the ground, which is quite funny.

Naomi loved it, after all, small, round, furry creatures had always been attractive, let alone well-behaved. Poke also likes Naomi very much, sometimes she just needs to say hello, and the little thing that was still spinning in Sean's arms a second ago immediately jumped into Naomi's arms, making Sean depressed.

However, sometimes he also has a feeling of regret, Naomi is already very beautiful, although she is just thirty years old, she is still in the golden age of a woman, and her figure is also very well-proportioned, and the mature atmosphere is quite attractive.

As a man, still a man of good blood, Sean, who lives under the same roof, inevitably looks at him a few times from time to time, and Naomi sometimes notices his gaze, but basically doesn't say anything.

If it weren't for the fact that the two were currently living together, Sean would have already figured out a way to ask her out, so he had to use the memories of another girl, Jordana? Brewster, so as to distract yourself.

That's also a charming girl, the first girl Sean wanted to go out seriously after coming to Los Angeles, but unfortunately he doesn't have a mobile phone now, and there is no landline in the room, so he has to go to the street to make a call, and the other party lives in New York, so he hasn't called since he got the phone number.

However, although he wanted to be involved in this regard, it did not occupy his mind, and more was used to find a job, a role, and an opportunity.

Originally, after experiencing the impact of Koeman, Sean also doubted whether he could adapt to the circle of this job and whether he should leave as soon as possible.

If there were no accidents, he would have lived a leisurely life, saved enough money to do what he wanted, and spent a decade or so finding his purpose in life and becoming the most idle-free reborn person - if there is such a title.

But after the audition turmoil, the admonition of the agent, and the betrayal of Koeman, after meeting Naomi and heroically letting her live with him temporarily, Sean suddenly changed his mind and he wanted to continue.

As I said before, Sean is not an idealist, and his two lives make him very clear about what reality is, and Naomi has also told him a lot of things in the circle, such as she has also been robbed of roles, such as because of her naivety, she quit after being the protagonist in a TV series with good ratings, on the grounds that she didn't want to spend two or three years acting in soap operas.

As for something, Naomi didn't say it, but Sean knew she must have encountered it, she was so attractive, how could she not meet it. In the same way, he also knows what she has chosen, otherwise she will not become a big star, at least she will not be reduced to the point where she can't even pay the rent.

And what impressed Sean the most was a little story that Naomi told about the warmth and coldness of human feelings, no one knows, she and the famous Nicole? Kidman was a classmate.

Yes, that Hollywood star Tom? Cruise's wife, who is a very eye-catching beauty in "Batman Forever", was pulled by a friend to watch this movie several times, and the names of the two of them have been heard even in their previous lives.

And Naomi not only starred in movies with Nicole, but also attended her bachelorette party before she got married, and the relationship is certainly not ordinary. But when she faced a difficult situation and asked her and some friends she knew in Hollywood for help, although they promised a lot, they basically never fulfilled it.

This shijie has never been fair, it's just that in life, you always have to insist on something.

Friends, family, lovers, affection, friendship, aiqing, or Americans always like to talk about doing the right thing, etc. Maybe this shijie sleek, no edges and corners of the person can live better, but without the persistence of the person, it will definitely not reach the top.

Sean didn't reach that level, but he didn't want to be a deserter, he didn't want to just admit defeat, he didn't want to leave without any effort, since a woman like Naomi can persevere, weishenme himself can't?

Therefore, he began to play tricks more actively, while waiting with his eyes wide open, and the opportunity is always given to those who are prepared.

"What the is going on, didn't you already say it before? Now it's about to start filming, but he told me that there was a conflict in the schedule, and he thought he was! In a corner of Paramount's studio, one of the seven major film companies, a middle-aged man with a beard was yelling angrily.

"Eric, calm down, Eric." An assistant next to him raised his hands to reassure him.

"Calm down? So many people were waiting here for that kid, waiting to turn on the phone, but a phone call told me that he couldn't come! How calm am I! The middle-aged man named Eric continued to yell.

"Maybe we can shoot other parts first, or change the script, anyway, the plot doesn't conflict." Another man suggested that it was the director of the TV series.

"Don't even think about it!" The middle-aged man categorically vetoed.

"But...... We're on tight schedule, Mr. Reese. Another assistant cautioned.

"Then find someone to replace you immediately!" Eric? Reece waved his hand violently, then strode over to the extras' lounge, "Listen, does anyone speak Italian?" ”

As he walked this way, there was a slight commotion, and although they could not hear it very clearly, they all saw that it was serious. But after the request was made, the eager people showed hesitant eyes, this is Los Angeles, and if you want a handful of extras who can speak Spanish, you can also know Italian...... That's pitiful.

Reece asked aloud again, his brow furrowed and seemingly rather upset.

Then, at this time, an arm was raised from the crowd: "I will, sir." ”

It was a young man, about 20 to 25 years old, with a calm expression and angular features, which not only carried the vitality of young talents, but also quite mature, contradictory and unified, giving people a special feeling.

"Will you? How's that? Reese didn't care about that, and immediately asked in Italian.

"Not bad, sir, my high school girlfriend is Italian, I learned a lot from her, general conversation is fine, and I can write sentences that are not so complicated." The other party introduced himself unhurriedly.

Reece beckoned him and asked him to come over and turn around in front of him twice, and the young man always had an expression that was neither humble nor arrogant, which made his eyes shine with praise.

"Well, what's your name."

"Sean, Sean? Don, sir. ”

"Very well, Sean, there is an important supporting role for you now, do you have an agent? Very good, tell him to come and sign the contract! ”
