Chapter 107: Try to Believe
"You say, there's a role that's perfect for me?" Naomi blinked, as if in disbelief.
"Yes, very suitable, almost...... It's a part of who you are. Sean took the cup she handed and poured it down.
After getting David? After Lynch's promise, he drove from Calver City almost immediately, for fear that something would go wrong and change in the middle.
Naomi didn't speak, she looked down and thought for a while before she sighed softly, "You've already recommended a character to me, Sean, don't ...... Don't always be ......."
"It's really a great character, Nami," Sean hurriedly put down his cup and held her hand, "Although I just listened to Lynch's dictation, I almost immediately thought of you, and I thought of ...... The helplessness and despair of the first time I met you is still in the deepest part of my heart. You know, Nami, he's almost going to use Mulholland Drive to make the name of the movie, this is your chance, your chance to show your indomitable in front of everyone! ”
Although he said it excitedly, Naomi remained silent, her eyes looking away, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and her pretty face had a look of hesitation.
Sean couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart, he had been living together intermittently for more than a year, how could he not know what she was thinking. At the beginning, they snuggled up to each other to keep warm, but now he has become famous, from a nobody to a dazzling star, but she is still a second-tier actor who is not a little good. That huge sense of disparity, coupled with Sean's flowery personality, how could it make her feel safe, which is one of the reasons why she didn't mention the relationship after "Talented Ripley", and now she is a little avoiding him.
"Nami," Sean took Naomi's hand, put it to his lips and kissed it gently, then looked at her, "Do you believe me?" ”
Naomi, who was staring at him, was involuntarily disrupting her breathing, and moved her lips, but she couldn't speak.
"Do you believe me, Nami." Sean asked again, accentuating his tone.
Naomi showed a struggling look, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned into a helpless sigh: "Of course I believe you. ”
"Then take the role," Sean patted the back of her hand gently, "maybe this movie will take a little longer, maybe it won't be released until next year, but it will get you the credit you deserve." I firmly believe that, just as I firmly believe that you are excellent, and your future should never be what it is now! ”
Naomi's eyes suddenly turned a little red, and after taking a deep breath, she nodded: "I promise you, Sean, that I will take this role, and I will do my best to play it." ”
After she said this, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to push Naomi like this, but this matter was too important.
I don't know with weishenme, listen to David? When Lynch talked about the content of the story, Sean had a feeling, a strong feeling, that this character was none other than Naomi.
He didn't know that Weishenme himself would come up with such a thought, this idea that he must win for Naomi, if it was intuition, had never been so strong, as if urging him to do it.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to start lobbying, and finally got Lynch to agree to the audition request with his previous good impression, and then rushed to Naomi's house non-stop.
Sean is well aware that using their feelings for each other to force Naomi to accept it is likely to affect the relationship between the two in the future, but he has no more choice. Whether a movie can be a big hit or whether it can be well received, even the director and producer can't guarantee it, so why should he be accepted?
But Sean trusts his instincts, so he has to do it even if something may go wrong later, even if it becomes the fuse of the breakup. Naomi shouldn't have stumbled like this, Sean knows she's a great actor, it's not a lie, Hollywood should have her place, so, that's all he can do now.
However, although Naomi agreed to audition, the trouble was just beginning.
"You left without saying hello, do you know how embarrassed I am? Did you ever think when you left, I'm still in the club? Or in your mind I'm just a ghost who appears when you need it and disappears when you don't need it? Jordana's shrill voice pierced Sean's head through electromagnetic waves.
"Of course not," Sean smiled wryly, "Listen to me, Little Joe, I just feel that this matter is important and needs to be decided, and I didn't ignore what you meant......"
"Really?" A sneer from Jordana came from over there, "So you're in David?" Lynch said yes and left immediately, not even waiting for a night, which was really important. ”
Sean continued to smile bitterly, still trying to distinguish it, when a voice came from there again: "Enough, Sean, I don't want to talk to you anymore, go on a date with your so-called friend, don't bother me!" ”
After saying that, she hung up the phone, Sean sighed, she wouldn't listen to anything she said now, she could only wait for a while. However, does it mean that she lost her temper so much about this?
Shaking his head, he sighed again, put away the phone and turned around, Sean couldn't help but snort again. Galen and Sanders, who were sitting on the couch looking at him with a gloating expression, plus Lucy lying on the armrest, and Polke, who was sticking his head out from behind the couch, made for a very interesting picture.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Sean couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, we're just watching the fun," Galen shrugged, "and look at how a guy with two boats on his feet fell into the water." ”
"Not really, at least Naomi hasn't treated him like that." Sanders said with a smile, although he has only been here for a few days, he has already understood most of Sean's situation from Galen, and Naomi and Jordana's affairs are naturally no exception.
"But it's really not as good as you used to be, in high school, you coaxed them around." He added, and laughed with Galen Haha.
"Okay, I know, I left you there again last night, can I ask you daoqian?" Sean had no choice but to fold his hands and say.
"It's okay, we're used to it." Galen spread his hands.
"It's like that in high school, when you meet a beautiful girl, you leave us behind." Sanders added.
The two laughed again.
Sean couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Okay, whatever you want, if this makes you happy." ”
Then, the phone rang, took it out and looked at it, a little familiar but not rememberable.
"Are you going to steal a job with me, Sean? Tang Dynasty? Pressing the answer button, before Sean could speak, a stern female voice came from there.
"Hug ...... Sorry, who is it? Sean was a little confused.
"Who? You found my client last night, self-righteously recommended a character to her, and now you ask me who I am? The other snorted heavily.
With this sentence, Sean can't remember who it is, it's a stupid.
"What's the problem, Anna?" Sean immediately asked.
"What's the problem? Do you really understand what Naomi needs right now, Sean? "Anna? Gordon seemed to want to sigh over there.
"Fame or honor, in short, needs a character that everyone knows and calls her haode." Sean replied after a moment's thought.
"And you also recommend her to David? Lynch? Since you asked me to be her agent, you should trust me instead of rushing to do what I should do! Anna exclaimed, a little annoyed.
"Hmm...... Well, there are some things that can't be explained on the phone, how about I come over and talk to you now? Sean asked after thinking for a few seconds.
The office is large and bright, and the interior is minimalist, separated from the corridor by a glass door, making it easy to see inside. There is no doubt that this shows the master's capable style, and she does not need to hide everything she has behind the thick wooden doors of a fully enclosed office.
However, Sean didn't have time to observe this at this time, he was busy dealing with Anna, hoping to convince her to let Naomi take on the role of Lynch.
"Compared to the box office, honor and praise from film critics are undoubtedly what Nami needs most now, and you also said that once an actress is over 30 years old, it will be difficult to become famous again, so any work that can Nami get honors should not be missed." Sean said.
However, Anna only asked him, "Do you know David?" How many actors has Lynch been popular? ”
After Sean was stunned for two seconds and began to shake her head, she said again: "Only half, Nicholas?" Cage did receive some praise for starring in "Wild at Heart", but what really made him popular was "Escape from Las Vegas" and the Oscar for Best Actor. ”
"But you also said that Cage did get some praise, and in that case, Nami Weishenme can't repeat?" Sean thought for a moment and said.
"Because Naomi is a woman, the reality is that here, if a woman wants to become famous, she has to work harder than a man." Anna raised an eyebrow.
Looking at the proud appearance of not admitting defeat, Sean felt that if she really had a relationship with Frederick, it would be normal to break up.
"Alright, Sean, I didn't ask you about your relationship with Naomi when you asked me to get Naomi as a proxy before, but now, you should have told me, right?" Anna then added, "Don't worry, I haven't persuaded Naomi to give up after hearing about what happened. ”
"Hmm...... How to say it, it's more than friends, but not enough lovers," Sean said with a wry smile, "I don't know how to position, I met her in the most difficult time, and she also met me in the most difficult time, and we have supported each other until now." I'm lucky to be famous now, Nami, who is better than me, shouldn't be left behind no matter what. ”
Anna frowned at him for a moment, then nodded imperceptibly, "Well, at least better than some people - but I still don't recommend her take this movie, the gambling component is too big, and Naomi doesn't have much time to squander." ”
Sean pursed his lips before he said after a long time: "I'm as optimistic about this movie as I am about 'The Genius Ripley'." ”
She opened her mouth, but Anna didn't say anything, and if it was before, she might have asked: What's the use of your favor? But after "The Genius Ripley" won a double harvest at the box office, Sean said this sentence again, which means something different, she is Endeavour's agent, and she has an unclear relationship with Frederick, and knows Sean's fame process better than outsiders.
"Weishenme doesn't try to believe it?" A voice came from the doorway.
