Chapter 591: Consequences
Although it was late at night outside, the inside of the mansion was still bright, in fact, the mansions of many big stars will be lit up all night tonight, who made tonight the Oscars?
But the reason why this building is always bright is different, and the few people gathered in the living room are obviously not discussing the Oscars.
"So she admitted it?" After listening to Sean tell what happened, Galen asked anxiously first.
"Have you ever seen a thief admit to stealing something without evidence?" Sean immediately asked rhetorically.
"Then why do you think that her act of revealing that you have become the male protagonist of "Blood is Coming" to the media was deliberate?" Sanders asked again.
"I can see that she has a weak heart." Sean said very calmly, he remembered Natalie's appearance at that time very clearly.
"You've disappointed me, Sean, really disappointed." She turned around slowly and watched him say this, her head still shaking slightly, as if she was really disappointed.
However, the fleeting emptiness in her eyes still allowed the preoccupied Sean to capture it. In fact, at first he did think that he might be wrong, but then things proved that he didn't.
"As I said earlier, when you don't accept defeat, you want to use all kinds of excuses to push on the other person. I was just going to say it casually, but ...... I didn't expect to see it so soon, it's really ......" she smiled, with a little contempt, "Frankly, Sean, if you keep going, there will only be more and more things like this year." β
Her performance was almost perfect, and if it weren't for the fact that she had said so much, and showed a little bit of inwardness, Sean would really have been deceived into thinking that it was an illusion that she had sensed that little bit of emptiness before.
"Aren't you the same?" Sean then replied in a plain voice, ""
Natalie seemed to laugh, then became even more contemptuous: "I was grateful that you recommended Rachel's Wedding to me, but now it seems that I don't need to, and I even start to regret knowing you, Sean." β
"I've read a little bit of Freud," Sean said to himself, "and a lot of books about the subconscious, like Hiroyuki Ishii's Cold Reading or Charles?" Brenner's "Introduction to Psychoanalysis" or something, although it is nothing compared to your professional knowledge, and it is not as proficient as yours, but it is somewhat inspiring, so ...... Just now, I discovered your flaw. β
"Enough!" Natalie interrupted him, "I've heard enough, just stay here and think about it, I don't want to see you again." β
After saying that, she hurriedly opened the door and walked out, and after a while, Sean suddenly smashed his fist on the wall, making a loud bang, and his face slowly turned blue.
"So, do you think that if she casually said that the other party deliberately revealed your secret and caused you to lose the opportunity, you can be sure that she did it on purpose?" Sanders sighed.
"Because my mind has never been so clear," Sean said lightly, "I can clearly recall all the doubts that I had before, and I didn't notice them before, because I always had feelings for her, and subconsciously didn't believe them, so I avoided them." And when I wake up, these obstacles are gone, so I can analyze them properly. β
"You're jumping to conclusions and then looking for evidence, Sean." Sanders reminded.
"Sandy." Galen cried out from the side, worry in his eyes.
"I just wanted to remind Sean that this kind of thing should be taken seriously." Sanders said.
Sean shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm sane now, I know what I'm talking about, and I know what kind of judgment I've made, Natalie Portman is really playing with me and using me from beginning to end." When she needed me, she did everything she could to tie me up, and kicked me away when she felt she was serving her goals, or she couldn't achieve it but didn't need me. β
"So what did Natalie get from you?" Sanders immediately asked, "She's famous, she's well-connected, she can get anything she wants, what can she get from you?" β
"There's always something she can't get, but it's possible to get it from me," Sean's eyes fixed on Sanders, "Do you really want to know, Sander." β
Sanders hesitated, and finally raised his hands: "Okay, what do you want to do?" β
"Neil, I need a couple of people doing the dirty work." Sean turned to Neil who had been sitting there as a guest.
The latter froze, and before he could react, Sanders spoke again with some nervousness: "What do you want to do, Sean?!" β
"Do what I want to do." Sean glanced at him.
"Damn, you're dealing with a rising star with a great future this time, not the entertainment editor-in-chief of a tabloid!" Sanders pinched the bridge of her nose with some pain, "To be exact, she is already a famous A-lister, and she is also a Jew." β
"So what?" Sean asked rhetorically, "Just because of this, I should watch her proud?" β
"I just hope you're sensible, Sean," Sanders said hurriedly, "one thing went wrong for all sorts of reasons, and you can't just push it into two separate ways, ...... like that."
"But so what?!" Sean suddenly raised his voice, "I'm not Jesus, and I didn't want to go and reach over to the right cheek after being hit on the left cheek!" I'm just an ordinary person! I can take on the responsibilities given to me by society in public, but in life I am just an ordinary person! I will be happy and angry, happy and hateful! It will be unclear right from wrong! Will shirk responsibility! Will be dizzy! You will also be furious! β
Eventually, his voice was so loud that it almost shook the roof, and the faces of the few people sitting around him turned pale, especially Sanders, who had seen the furious Sean for the first time.
After taking a short breath, Sean controlled his emotions again: "I can accept failure, as long as I really try." I can also accept being deceived, who has not been deceived. Even, I can accept being used, as long as I show it at the beginning or admit it afterwards. However, I don't think it's permissible to be so carefully designed to deceive and then use my feelings to play with me! β
Sanders tried to persuade something, but was stopped by Frederick: "You can do whatever you want and can do, Sean." β
After a pause, he added, "As long as you are prepared to bear the consequences." β
"I'm done," Sean said calmly, "I'm not impulsive, I don't just need a few guys who can do the dirty work, I also need my team to have a detailed follow-up plan." β
Sanders smiled bitterly, but after looking at Frederick, who looked at him with a calm look, he finally nodded: "I know." β
"That's it, I'm resting." Sean also lost interest in talking further at this time, "After Neil finds the right person, we will talk about the next move." β
With that, he got up and left the living room to the second floor upstairs, leaving Sanders in their seats and sighing secretly.
"You shouldn't be so pampering with him, Fred." Sanders spoke at this point.
"I'm not conniving, I just think he can do what he wants and can do." Frederick shrugged, he was the calmest of them all.
"Sean is clearly angry, even if Natalie Portman is a bitch, with his current status, he can't do that." Sanders said with a frown.
"Wrong, Sandy, wrong," the agent waved his hand neatly, "it's because of who he is that he can do this." β
"Big shots?" Galen answered thoughtlessly.
"yes, remember what I said at tonight's party? Sean is already a big man, and he has enough influence, and he has to adapt as quickly as possible," Frederick said, "You too, Sandy, you are smart, capable, and loyal to Sean, but your horizons are still narrower. β
Saying that, he sighed: "Although luck hangs over us, because we get up too fast, we don't understand some things very clearly, so you must also start to get used to what you need to do as an agent of a big man." β
"Sounds like you're very experienced." Sanders immediately scoffed.
"At least I have a lot of references," Frederick shrugged, "and this is a great opportunity for Sean and you to understand how much you can do with one thing as a big man with all your might." β
"In short, you want to take full responsibility for this, don't you?" Sanders said unceremoniously.
"Yes, you can take a closer look and then summarize." Frederick was equally unkind.
"Well, hopefully you won't do anything out of the ordinary." Sanders nodded.
Regardless, he just hoped that Sean wouldn't get carried away by anger and get emotional, which would lead to the destruction of everything that had been built up so easilyβand in that sense, Sanders really needed to adjust his mindset.
Now that Frederick has chosen to take over the matter and take responsibility, he is happy to be a bystander and see how he works. Even if there are still some worries, after all, we have worked together for a few years and still have a certain understanding of each other, and Sanders also believes that Frederick should not gamble with Sean's career and reputation, so wait and see.
Let's not mention this for the time being, another Oscar is over, and various awards have been dusted, and the next thing is the performance of the media. It's been the case every year, and it's been customary for a group of people to pick and choose and applaud those who have the power but didn't win the award or the movie to attract attention.
However, this year's momentum seems to be much greater than in previous years, and most well-known media basically bombarded the film school for injustice as soon as it came up, and as for the injustice, of course, the best actor was not awarded to Sean Tang.
