Chapter 8: A Down-and-Out Woman

"Tell me, Koeman, what the is this?! What the is this! In the alley outside the studio area, although there was anger in his chest, Sean, who was still patiently waiting for the crew to call it a day, blocked Koman? Vincent, grabbing the other man by the collar and slamming it against the wall.

He stared at him fiercely, "You were going to get me drunk from the beginning last night, weren't you?" He also kept instigating me to smoke marijuana, and then called the police to say that I was in that club's cocaine binge! ”

"I don't know what you're talking about?" Coman struggled, "Let go of me, or ......"

"Otherwise, call the police?" Sean yelled, "I treat you as a friend, and you treat me like this? Just for a character, a character with a few lines, is it worth it?! ”

"You know what!" Coman suddenly opened his hand in a rage, "What do you know! ”

His facial features were distorted, looking extremely hideous, completely different from the previous appearance of the one who liked to whine and hang his expectations in his mouth from time to time.

"I've been here for almost three years! No more than ten characters with lines! I've worked hard to get the chances! I'm willing to do anything! I gave so much! But weishenme gets nothing in return! weishenme! Coman yelled, "I watched the guys who were also extras, one by one starting to play small roles, but they couldn't catch anything, so easy to have an agent, but they couldn't fuck anything!" I want to be famous! I want to be sought after! I don't care what I do! I don't think of you as a friend at all! Don't make yourself amorous in front of me! ”

Sean stared at him blankly, unable to believe that he would say this, so that the other party left in a hurry without hindrance.

"What the is going on?" After returning to his car in a trance, Sean muttered, and then slapped the steering wheel again: "What the is going on!" ”

The door opened, and Pork, who had slept comfortably in his bed, suddenly looked up, and seemed to realize that this time the door was opening a heavier sound than before.

But it jumped to its feet, threw off its limbs and ran to the door, and when its master came in, it jumped to its feet and stuck out its tongue to lick the familiar face.

"Well, you little guy who never rinses your mouth, I should be glad that there is no garlic in the dog food." Sean smiled and grabbed its forelimbs and said, but with a slight tiredness in his smile.

After carrying Polk into the house and sitting down, he was silent for a long time before he said to himself: "Have you ever seen such a person? Just for the sake of a character with only a few lines, you can betray your friends, and you can do whatever it takes...... I really don't understand, Hollywood and other places are completely two shijie ......"

Sean sighed deeply, things were basically clear, it was obvious that when Coman said "as long as you can't act, I can take over", everything was already in his heart, and then he successfully accosted Jordana on the set of "Deadly College", which strengthened his confidence.

First dragged him to a less strict bar in the name of celebration, then drunk him as much as he could, and at the same time instigated him to smoke marijuana - in the United States, or in the West as a whole, it is basically impossible to smoke marijuana when he was a student, and Sean is no exception.

Zuihou is to call the police and implicate him in some drug-related cases - this is very simple, as long as you hear about it casually or find a TV to watch, you will definitely find a suitable one.

In short, if he can't get to the crew the next day, and at the same time smear his image.

Frankly speaking, Sean has not seen anything in his previous life that he did not hesitate to frame others in order to achieve his own goals, but ...... Is it worth it? It's just a small character, what kind of hatred would have to be there for Koeman to make such a move?

If the first two are just small means, Zuihou is very serious, fortunately, Sean was very restrained in high school, he didn't smoke much marijuana, and even if he drank dizzily last night, he always refused that thing, otherwise he was interrogated by the police and found out that it was wrong, and then a urine test or something, I'm afraid it would be a big trouble.

Even though that's the worst-case scenario, who knows if it's going to happen? And...... The guy should be happy to see it.

"If Neil and the others found out, they would definitely laugh half to death." Sean sighed again, he seemed to care too much about enjoying the taste of growing up again, forgetting a lot of things.

"So, you'd better keep your mouth shut." He grabbed Pork's foreleg and said in a threatening tone, "Don't let me kill you for knowing too much." ”

It's a pity that the puppy barked twice without giving face, and also tilted his head to the side.

"Why, you dare to laugh at me?" Sean immediately scratched its chin, and the little thing screamed twice, and jumped to the ground and ran away in spite of the harassment.

Watching it wag its tail and hide in the corner to peek at itself, Sean's mood was finally a little better, but only a little. Coman kept appearing in front of him, especially Zuihou's almost crazy appearance, which he couldn't get rid of, and then thought of the words that Frederick had admonished, and he was even more upset for a while.

"It's crazy." Sean said this, although he wanted to tell himself that this was just a special case and didn't mean anything, but he was still quite depressed after all.

Then, there was another quarrel outside the door.

"Please, Ms. Waters, I promise it will be in a few days." As soon as he opened the door, these words came from the diagonal side, eager and frightened.

"I've heard enough of your assurances, either pack up and get out, or I'll call the cops!" The landlord's voice rang out, impatiently.

"Listen to me, Miss Waters, hear me out......" the beautiful woman pleaded as she stood in the doorway, looking even more haggard.

Unfortunately, the landlady was unmoved and insisted that she pack her things.

Sean couldn't help but sigh secretly, feeling a little sympathy in his heart, and at the same time a little ashamed. Before, he had secretly and maliciously guessed whether the other party was a prostitute because of boredom, but now it seems that with her appearance, if she is really a prostitute, she will not worry about this rent at all.

"Now! Right away! "Waters gave Zuihou an ultimatum.

I couldn't see the woman's expression, but from her slightly trembling back, I could sketch it in my mind, her desperate look, Sean sighed in his heart again, and turned around to go back.

"Please, Waters, my agent has already scheduled an audition for me, as long as I pass the ......," the words that came out almost choked up shook his heart.

Sean was stunned for two seconds, then turned his head in surprise, but only saw her back as she entered the house. He couldn't help but want to catch up, but he stopped after only two steps, hesitated for a few seconds and chose to wait outside.

He didn't wait long, and soon the woman came out with large and small packages, and the landlady slammed the door and left without looking back, without giving any affection.

The woman was still facing away from Sean, her head was lowered, one hand was clutching her arm, her body trembling slightly, and she stood there not knowing what to do. Obviously, she had nowhere else to go, and she probably didn't have much money on her.

"If you don't have anywhere else to go...... Then stay with me. After a few minutes of silence, Sean blurted out the words.

The woman turned her head in surprise, and then leaned back, her moist eyes visibly wary, but at the same time giving a feeling of pity.

Sean scratched his head, suddenly a little embarrassed, he didn't know that he would suddenly say that sentence, as if he had been preparing for a long time, and naturally appeared.

But since it has been said, there is no point in regretting it, and seeing that the other party did not refuse at the first time, you can know that the previous guess was correct. So he hurriedly made a "please wait" gesture, reflexively entered the room, and after packing up some things, grabbed Pock and walked back.

"Don't worry, I'll go to the motel, there are washed duvet covers in the simple closet, you can use them, of course, you can also use your own." He threw the key out.

"For ...... weishenme? The woman asked in surprise and puzzlement.

"About ......," Sean was silent for a few seconds, "because I'm an extra, and I've just been robbed of the role I've already had...... Extras. ”

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand, and went downstairs without heading. He knew he was acting as a hero, and only because of the same or similar encounters, but who hasn't done something on impulse? Just behave generously.

This night, Sean tossed and turned in the bed of the motel, and the scenes of the day kept pouring into his mind, the unscrupulous Koeman, the unacceptable reality, and the desperate woman.

So, it was almost ten o'clock the next day, and he returned to the apartment.

After knocking on the door, Sean couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and the small room was cleaned up, almost spotless. It's not that he used to be sloppy, no matter in his previous life or present life, he started to clean up his room by himself at a very young age, but as a man, he is definitely not as meticulous as women in housework.

"I don't have anything else to do, so I'm ...... I hope it doesn't break your things, or break your habits......" explained the woman in her simple clothes, but with some slurring.

"No, it's nothing, it's good, I always don't clean up." Sean, who understood what she was thinking, hurriedly said.

The woman smiled, standing there not knowing what to do, a little embarrassed for a moment.

"By the way, my name is Sean, and I'm from San Francisco." Sean immediately began to introduce himself again.

"Yes, I know, Sean? Don, I heard it last time. The woman smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "My name is Naomi, Naomi?" Watts, I'm Australian. ”

"Nice to meet you, Naomi, your ...... Well, nice accent, I originally thought you were British. Sean said with some curiosity, scratching his head.

"Actually, I was born in England and moved to Australia with my mother at the age of 14," Naomi explained, and her face changed suddenly, "You're so reckless, Sean, you don't know me at all, and you gave me the keys to your apartment so rashly, what if I'm the bad guy?" What if I'm a liar? ”

Sean was stunned for a few seconds, how could he seem to be teaching a child? That's changing too fast, isn't it?

"Wait...... Wait, how do you know...... I mean, I look like that...... A hairy kid who doesn't understand anything? He asked with his hands thrown up in a disgruntled tone.

"Of course, you're not even twenty years old," Naomi was a little unkind, but then realized something, and became a little sneering again, "Hmm...... Neighbors told me. ”

Sean first showed a stunned expression, then laughed, and Naomi also raised her hand a little embarrassed, so that they became much more harmonious with each other.

"I'm sure you're not that kind of person," Sean said then, "maybe I'm not necessarily right, but you shouldn't. ”

At this point, he smiled slyly again: "Besides, you must have left information with the landlord, don't you?" ”

Naomi laughed as well, becoming more relaxed, and it was only then that the two of them sat down in their chairs

"Xiexie you, Sean, if it's not ......" Naomi took a deep breath after pouring him a glass of water.

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture," Sean shrugged, "after all...... I know that feeling, and if I hadn't landed a job as an extra on set, maybe I would have been in that situation. ”

Seeing the other party's inquiring eyes, he also continued, from coming to Los Angeles alone, to working as a temporary worker to make money, meeting an agent by mistake in embarrassment, and then becoming an extra, etc., including various auditions and Koman's betrayal.

"Actually, your agent is right," Naomi was silent for a few seconds before she smiled wryly when Sean asked her what she thought, "Here, there are not many things like Koeman's, especially between young actors, for a chance ......"

Speaking of this, she raised her head and looked out the window, and her expression became a little trance: "It's been more than ten years since I started shooting commercials......
