Chapter 259: Just the Right Time?
"You think that's going to get me into trouble?" Sean raised his finger and shook it, "No, no, no, if I can kill you once, I can kill you twice!" You want to catch me? Stop dreaming! β
He squinted his eyes with a sneer, as if he didn't care about anything, everything was under control. However, the slightly trembling eyebrows, the wandering gaze, and the tense lips after not speaking all show the lustful mind of the person who said this.
Then, after a few minutes of silence, Sean, who maintained a finger-shaking posture, finally couldn't help it: "Hey, what the hell, you always have to say something, right?" β
"Wow!"
"Meow!"
Polke, who was crawling on the ground, was the first to scream, and Lucy, who was curled up next to someone, also screamed for face, although it was more like being comfortable by the other party. As for the few people sitting on the sofa, they either read books or play with their mobile phones, or simply didn't say a word in a daze.
"Galen!" Sean had to name names.
"Need to say? Your performances have been very good. Galen, who looked at the head of the book, said without raising it.
"I'm thinking about something, and I'm being disturbed." Sanders, who was in a daze, said first.
Sean rolled his eyes and reluctantly looked at his sister who was playing with her phone while giving Lucy Shun Mao, who raised her head a little blankly after noticing: "Ah, is it over?" β
"yes, it's over." He immediately sat down on the couch like a deflated ball.
"Hey, what's that attitude?" Liana raised an eyebrow and asked, as usual, "Just because you saw me playing on my phone, you can be sure that I didn't watch your show?" β
followed the conversation: "But your performance is really good, it has a bit of a dead end, and it's more mature than before, huh...... Maybe when you were rehearsing "Hamlet" at school, you wouldn't have been brushed off if you played Claudius. β
"Xiexie, nice comfort," Sean rolled his eyes, "I just want to know the reaction from Paramount's side right now, they didn't say anything after my audition, it's so disappointing, at least let me know their first impression." β
Wahlberg was very efficient, and Sean agreed to come down, and the next day after attending the Oscar rehearsal, Frederick called. At first, he was quite surprised and complacent, the other party's reply was so fast, indicating that they were still optimistic about themselves, but he didn't expect that after the past, the other party didn't have a word of superfluity, and he said xiexie after it was over.
This is too embarrassing, Sean is a famous actor anyway, since he came over to participate in the audition with a blank eye, even if it is polite words, he should say a few more words, right? But it doesn't look like they're perfunctory, and after the performance, Sean paid attention to Gary as the director? Gray was having a serious discussion with an unknown person, so, after coming back, thinking about it, they probably thought of themselves as backups but didn't want to make a noise.
To put it simply, the crew still wants Edward? Norton came to play the villain, but now it's very stiff, and if the situation doesn't improve, even if he finally has to agree because he still has a contract with Paramount, I'm afraid Zuihou may tear his face. That's why the crew wants to find a backup, if it really tears the face, who knows if Norton will make any small moves during filming? But they also definitely don't want to be known, especially Norton, otherwise he will definitely use this to excuse or even blame, so this strange audition is in.
After understanding this, Sean was very uncomfortable, although the time to prepare for him was a little short, but he did his best during the audition, but he was still regarded as a backup...... So now he deliberately performed in the dead friends again, wanting to gain some confidence, but he didn't expect his sister to come to the door at this time, which made him quite depressed.
In the past, Liana and her parents came to high school to watch him perform on stage, but her sister, who was pretty good to him in other ways, if she ignored the pranks and bullied the small...... It seems that there is nothing else but that? Well, don't care about that "miserable" childhood, in short, she likes to hit him in this regard.
"Are you really performing? Are you sure you're acting, not sleepwalking? Liana often asked with a wicked smile.
So, it's not surprising to hear that now.
"Maybe they already have a fixed impression of the character, so they think your performance is far from what they imagined?" Liana said again randomly.
Sean immediately seized the opportunity: "Help, Lena, they didn't let me act according to the script, but just let me play freely under the title of 'a character who is fierce and wants to protect his ill-gotten gains, but has a fear in his heart', so I performed the things I just did." β
However, Liana's words are actually not wrong, they probably just wanted not to be bound by Norton's image, so they auditioned in a question-based way, rather than acting out the plot in the script. However, this also further proves that they did use him as a backup, which is really a disheartening conclusion.
"Is that so?" Liana was stunned for a moment, then glared at him, "Ha, it seems that you are very proud, Sean, you are really good at going around in such a big circle, just to deal with a person who has no idea." β
I'm just improvising...... Facing the eyes that gleamed with danger, Sean thought innocently.
"I don't think you're the uninformed, Lena, you're going to do a full investigation before you do anything." He said deliberately in a slightly sarcastic tone, with a nonchalant look, looking rather calm, as if not taking her threat to heart.
It's just that the buttocks are slightly raised, and if Liana wants to clamp his neck with her arms like before, then he can run away as soon as possible, and at this moment, Sean can be regarded as having a deep understanding of the feeling of being inward.
"I don't think you need to worry too much, Sean." Galen finally spoke, "Or maybe you change your mind and want to take the role." β
"Of course not," Sean denied, "I just hope they will admit my abilities, that I can play this role, maybe with Edward?" Norton's style is different, but it's definitely not much different. β
"But don't forget, you still have more than a month to reach the age of 22." Sanders also spoke out, "Frederick once said that Sean, young actors between the ages of 18 and 23 have a hard time finding suitable roles, and they are basically the sons of the male protagonists or the boys of the neighborhood, and the young people at the party. It's hard to be the main character, even if it's a villain, 99% of them are the football captains who bully the male protagonist at school, not the ruthless thieves. β
"But I have a precedent for playing mature roles." Sean said immediately.
"Yes, yes, but you also have roles that play young people and play very well, like 'Dance of Death Rows,' which was officially released in February, and the people at Paramount may not think much about it when they audition, but they will quickly recall your current age after that." Sanders continued.
"Well, what the hell are you trying to say, Sandy?" Sean asked angrily with a frown.
"I don't know." Sanders spread his hands.
"You don't know?" Sean clenched his fist.
"Of course, I'm thinking about something, and that's important." Sanders shrugged.
"Ha, it's really an honor to let you take the time to solve my puzzles when you are deeply thinking about the life and death of the entire human society." Sean clenched his fists tighter, but ...... Probably because the strength is not in place, no matter how you pinch it, you can't pinch the sound, which is really unpleasant.
"I'm serious, Sean, I've been thinking about you, maybe I'll have a preliminary result when the news from Paramount comes back." Sanders was unexpectedly serious.
Sean blinked: "My business? What's the matter? Weishenme wants to wait for feedback from Paramount? β
"Hmm...... Sorry, I think it's better not to talk about it for now. Saunders thought for a moment, then shook his head.
βweishenmeοΌ Is there anything embarrassing, or embarrassing to me? It doesn't matter, I don't mind, not at all. Sean's curiosity was piqued at once.
"No, Sean, I think it's better to wait, if you say it now, you'll keep worrying." Sanders insisted.
"Don't do that, Sandy, tell me what news you got that I don't know? Or did you notice something I hadn't noticed? Sean began to dwell on it.
But Sanders never answered, so he began to play again: "You have piqued my interest, you can't just put it aside, you have to be responsible!" β
Very well, if the tone is a little more resentful, it will be similar to the man and woman who are about to break up, so Galen and Liana both rolled their eyes.
Eventually, before they could take the necessary action, Sanders' cell phone rang, and Sean had to let him go to answer the call, as the caller ID belonged to Frederick.
"It's me, he's here," Sanders said angrily to the agent on the other end of the phone, "yes, like a kid who asks for candy." β
"Hey, how can you say that about me?" Sean spread out his hands and said with a pretended displeasure.
Sanders ignored him: "Okay, leave that alone, do you have something to do?" Oh? β
At the time of "oh", he was obviously a little surprised, and Sean next to him pricked up his ears, and as soon as Sanders hung up the phone, he immediately asked, "What's the matter?" β
"It's nothing, Frederick just told me about the first-week box office of The Believer." Sanders shrugged.
"Really? How much? Galen was also interested at this time.
"89 theaters, 420,000." He said a statistic.
Galen and Sean both looked surprised.
"That doesn't sound like much." Liana interjected next to her.
"It doesn't sound great, but it's rare for this film." Galen explained, then looked at Sean, "Really, Sean?" β
Sean didn't answer, holding the phone and seeming to be texting, until Galen called out again, and didn't turn back until he called again: "What? β
"What are you doing?" Galen looked at the phone in his hand.
"Send this message to someone," Sean waved his phone, "and I promised." β
"Oh?" Galen raised an eyebrow, "Another one?" β
"Another one?" Liana, who was listening to her ears, immediately looked at Sean, "It seems that I came at the right time." β
