Chapter 20: A New Beginning

"You're really not going to get up? It's almost 9 o'clock, and you're already running back by this time. On the small bed, Naomi leaned sideways, supported her face with her arms, and said with a smile as she looked at the man lying next to her. Although the quilt is pulled over from the chest, because the upper body is propped up, the spring light inside is faintly visible.

"It's not a big deal to stop once in a while." Sean, looking at the ceiling, sighed.

"I just didn't see my first performance on TV, so don't be so depressed." Naomi couldn't help but tap her fist lightly on his head.

"You also said that this is my first time performing on TV, and I am so unwilling to miss it like this." Sean grumbled, then turned around and reached under the covers to wrap his arms around her waist, then buried his head in her chest, "So comfort me again, Nami." ”

"Enough of last night." Feeling the tingling sensation in her chest, Naomi smiled and pushed his head to the side, then got up and put on his clothes with her back to him.

Looking at her body and the seductive spine line, Sean couldn't help but sigh again. After that night, he and she began to share the same bed, although it was not a night and night, but the number of times was by no means small, and they usually became more and more intimate in life, but neither of them had a clear relationship with each other.

Then, he easily got a role, and successfully completed the filming and broadcast, of course he wanted to share it with Naomi. Because there was no TV in the rented room, he took her outside to find a place to watch last night, and because he wanted to surprise her, he went to the small bar, and only told the other party when the time was up, so he ...... Just miss it.

Quite simply, although there are TVs in some small bars, in addition to the news, basically all are sports events, American football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, etc., many people who can't go to the stadium for various reasons will come to the bar to ask for a beer or something else, and watch TV while drinking to cheer for their favorite team. If you want to watch a TV series, you have to go to a café or some small restaurants, and the TV in that place will be broadcast.

By the time Sean came to his senses, it was too late to find cafes and small restaurants where "Friends" was played, as a sitcom, "Friends" was only more than twenty minutes per episode, and if you delayed it anywhere, you might miss half of it, not to mention waiting in the bar to start, and then hurriedly came out to look for it. Therefore, Sean didn't see his image on TV for the first time, and then was laughed at by Naomi for a long time.

"I can't believe you don't even know this, Sean?" At the mention of this, her beautiful gray-green eyes complete the crescent.

I'm not omniscient. Sean could only say this in his heart very depressed, but no matter how unwilling he was, it became a fact that he couldn't see it on the night of the broadcast, so he made the decision to sleep lazy this morning.

"They'll replay it, so you can't watch it anymore." Naomi, who brought a simple breakfast to the coffee table, said this.

"I know." Sean is still a little listless, reruns and premieres are different after all, and how many people can watch the replay?

"Don't worry, Sean, your performance must be perfect." Naomi, who saw something, then said.

"Xiexie, I hope so." Sean shrugged, then glanced at the old computer in the corner.

In the final analysis, he was so unwilling not to see the premiere, mainly because he wanted to know how he acted. Although I think it's good, and the director and Jennifer also say it's good, what about the audience's reaction? Many people, or most of the people of this shijie, will want to share it with others when they have achieved a result, so as to get praise or even praise.

Some people may say that this is vain, but isn't this the norm in society? People are social animals, ancient and modern, how many people don't want to get more recognition? As long as you grasp the degree, know where your abilities are, and can listen to criticism, then it is not a big deal.

However, although Sean is eager to know the audience's reaction, he is also very worried, what if it will not be popular? This is normal, the first time in the face of anything, not to mention that this is his first role, the first role that has taken a lot of effort and turned around!

So he didn't see his work at the first time, obviously the computer was next to it, and it was also connected to the Internet, but he still hesitated to look at it on the Internet.

"If you're concerned, you can buy a few magazines and see what they have to say." Naomi said again.

"Such an ordinary episode of the TV series, there will also be comments?" Sean was slightly surprised.

"The most well-known newspapers and magazines certainly won't have them, but there will be some ones that have average sales or follow the TV industry, such as TVshow. After all, Friends is a hit TV series. Naomi teased slightly.

Sean touched his chin, suddenly got up and walked out, and didn't care about half of his breakfast: "I'll be back soon." ”

Naomi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile and continued to drink her own milk.

However, ten minutes later, Sean, who was in high spirits, came back dejected, and handed over the "TVshow" magazine in his hand without waiting for Naomi to ask, and then fell into the sofa motionless.

When Naomi opened the magazine, her doubts were solved: "Last night we saw the latest episode of the fifth season of "Friends" on NBC, and unfortunately, it hasn't changed much as always. Yes, it's a great piece that still has a cult following, but that layer of style has clearly started to hinder the show's performance. The most obvious example is that at the beginning everyone has a very distinct personality, but as time goes on, they begin to homogenize, like the new character that came out last night, and we can see the shadow of Ross and Joey in him......"

"Alright, Nami, let me calm down a bit, okay?" Sean clutched his head and sighed.

"He didn't say you played badly, did he?" Naomi, who didn't read any more, thought about it and said.

"I just didn't say it explicitly." Sean smiled wryly and raised his hands.

"Hey, Sean, it's really nothing, it's just a review of a magazine, weishenme doesn't look at anything else." Naomi sat down beside him and shook his hand, "You're not supposed to be the one to worry about this kind of thing. ”

"I know, I know, I'm just ......" Sean made a meaningless gesture, as if he didn't know what to say, and then, the pager vibrate.

Pick it up and see, it's Frederick's phone number, Sean didn't want to go back, he has been hit enough by last night until now, but recalling the agent's words at the beginning, he finally borrowed Naomi's mobile phone to call it.

"How does it feel, Sean? When you saw your appearance on TV for the first time, were you so excited? As soon as he dialed in, Frederick's exaggerated laughter could be heard, and Sean had no difficulty sketching out his smug appearance in his mind.

"No," he rolled his eyes subconsciously, "I don't see it, there's no TV at home." ”

"Don't have a TV? Then you can ......" There was some surprise over there.

"Alright, Fred, just say what's going on." Sean doesn't want to repeat the bad things of yesterday.

"Well, the ratings are out, want to hear it?" The agent's tone was tinged with excitement.

Sean wanted to say no, but his thoughts turned: "Okay, how much?" ”

"17.64 million people!" Frederick Daxiao got up, "Man, you've taken a pretty solid step!" ”

After hearing this data, Sean, who was already in mood swings because of gains and losses, immediately took a deep breath. Although he has only been in this circle for a month, he basically understands these data, if a one-step TV series can have about 15 million views, it is basically considered a hit, and if it can have about 20 million views, it is the most popular among the hot.

Although "Friends" has more than 20 million viewers, there are many excellent programs with competitiveness, and there will always be ups and downs after a long broadcast time, so on average, the highest is 17 million people from 94 to 95, and the rest of the time is basically 15 million to 16 million people. Since the start of the fifth season, the highest ratings for a single episode are 16 million, and the lowest is 14 million, which is a level that is not lost on average, and now it has suddenly reached 17 million, which is enough to show how excellent this episode is, but it is ......

"yes...... They are indeed very popular actors. Sean grabbed his head and said.

"Of course they are...... Hey, what are you talking about? Frederick, who sensed something, asked, "Didn't you read the media reports today?" ”

"Look, "TVshow" says ......" Sean's slightly depressed words were interrupted before he could finish speaking.

“《TVshow》? You actually went to watch "TVshow"?! The agent's voice was much sharper.

"Any questions?" Sean was puzzled.

"What's the problem? Ha, genius, do you know that the publishing company that released "TVshow"? It's Dabur Publishing! Do you know who the parent company of Dabur is? It's News Corp! Do you know what other subsidiaries News Corp. has? 20th Century Fox and FOX TV! Don't you read all of Time Warner's periodicals, Entertainment Weekly or Essence? Frederick's voice was loud and urgent, and Sean had to move his phone away.

Even so, he could still feel that the face with the expression of hatred was in front of him.

"Listen, listen! This is the best episode of Season 5 so far, and the constant jokes don't want to stop for a moment, especially Rachel's date with Casapa...... Oh, and this one, there are many new characters, but this time it was the most impressive...... And these...... And these...... There are so many of them, go out on the street and buy them back for yourself! See what they have to say about you! With the sound of flipping books, the agent yelled at the other end, and the heart, which had begun to beat rapidly with his words, began to become more violent.

An unprecedented feeling welled up in his heart, so much so that Sean put down the phone, and he still looked like he couldn't give up.

"Are you alright, Sean?" Naomi asked worriedly.

Sean slowly raised his head: "It's okay, I'm just ......"

It worked? Yes, it worked!

"I won, Nami, I won!" He jumped up suddenly, took the relatively petite Naomi in his arms, and hahadaxiao got up.

A new door opened.
