"After about three or four minutes of knocking, the door finally opened, but you know what I saw? The director was wearing a pajama, and he beckoned me in, and handed me a glass of wine, you know, right? Frankly, I never thought I'd be in this situation, and if he wasn't a director, I'd have poured red wine in his face. Charlize snorted as he lifted the cup and shook it with three fingers.

"And then?" Sean held his chin and looked focused.

"I'm leaving, I don't need to mess around with this kind of person, but guess what my agent said?" There was a mocking look on the girl's pretty face.

"He tells you to do what they want to do and tells you that this is an opportunity, a chance to make you famous." Sean's expression became a little subtle.

"Bingo!" Charlize snapped his fingers, "That's right, so I fired the agent afterwards." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and narrowed her eyes, and looked Sean up and down: "What, you have a similar experience?" ”

Sean coughed dryly, and instead of answering the question, he asked, "What's the name of that agent of yours?" ”

He looked at her, a little nervous, as if worried about whose name she would say.

Although it is a little strange, Charlize gives the answer: "Let me think about it...... John? Crosby? Yes, that's the name, do you have an impression of him? ”

"No, I just want to know his name." Sean said in disguise.

"Forget it, Sean, you just wrote it all on your face." Charlize quipped, "You're worried about knowing the guy I'm talking about, aren't you?" Tell me, what's going on? Don't make excuses, I've satisfied your curiosity, and now it's your time to satisfy me. ”

"Okay, okay," Sean raised his hands and raised, "Actually, if you don't rush, I'll say it too, after hearing what you said about your own experience, I feel ...... Some things are really interesting. ”

Then he began to talk, starting from his own problems in the bank and then coming to an impromptu speech that forced the other party to have to exchange checks for him, and then to how Yujian Frederick, how he got into Hollywood, what kind of mentality he had at the beginning, and then what things he encountered, and how he changed, slowly, in detail.

The part about Naomi and Jordana is naturally omitted, but the quarrels with Frederick at the beginning, as well as the big reversal from "Everybody Loves Raymond" to "Friends", have not fallen at all.

Charlize was a little surprised at first, and with obvious disbelief, as if he thought it was improvised after listening to her experience, but as Sean recounted, he gradually put away this look and began to listen carefully.

"You've met a nice agent, Sean." When he had finished, Charlize, who had been silent for a moment, said this.

"I agree," Sean nodded, "although Fred is a bit neurotic at times, always trying to arrange everything and let me do it, and once I say no or have my own arrangements, he becomes very anxious, but he is very capable and has his own persistence. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head a little nervously, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, worried that he will suddenly jump out and complain?" Charlize asked with a smirk.

"No, I've said this many times in front of him, but it's just ......," Sean scratched his head, "it's always a bit of a shame to say bad things about others behind your back, especially in front of a beautiful lady." ”

Charlize looked at him and didn't answer, and only changed the subject after a few seconds: "If he hadn't caught up in the first place, would you continue to be an actor?" ”

"Who knows," Sean shrugged, "maybe I'll leave and do something else, after all, I'm just an actor to solve life problems, but maybe I'll stay and continue." One of my life credos is that once you decide to do it, you have to do the best you can, and to admit defeat without trying anything, that's not my approach. ”

After a pause, he then asked, "What about you, Charlie?" If you hadn't been an actor in the first place, what would you have done? ”

"Well......" Charlize changed his position and crossed his other leg, "I don't know, I can't dance anymore at that time, maybe I'll go modeling...... Well, maybe I'll do a short-term training, then work as an assistant or something in a company, and then slowly work my way up to a department head. ”

She said with a smile, and said, "I've learned a little bit about it. ”

"Then you'd better not go to the secretary, especially the secretary of the big boss." Sean immediately laughed.

"Oh?" The girl raised an eyebrow.

"We all know that there is an opinion in the United States that beautiful blonde women are synonymous with stupidity and short-sightedness," Sean said half-jokingly, "So, with your beauty, once you become the secretary of a big company boss, there will definitely be gossip, whether it is out of slander or office gossip, and the better you do, the more such gossip will circulate, and the more people will believe it." ”

"yes...... Charlize sighed, reaching out and gently pulling his hair, "I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have listened to their advice and dyed my hair blonde during the filming of "Two Days in the Valley" in the first place. ”

"Huh?" Sean froze, blinking, as if he didn't understand what she was talking about.

"You see, that's the problem," Charlize chuckled, "and no one believes that my blonde hair is dyed, not natural. ”

"You mean...... Your hair is dyed ...... Such? Sean stammered, as if he hadn't been able to believe it.

"yes, my original hair color was brown, if you want to see it, there will be a chance." Charlize shrugged.

"Why," Sean finally recovered, "whether this blonde hair is dyed or not, there is no denying that you are a very delicate beauty." ”

"So everybody thinks I'm just a vase." Charlize immediately said self-deprecatingly.

"It's the kind of thing that happens to every beautiful actress," Sean said comfortingly, "and you're going to prove yourself, Charlie, like winning an Oscar for Best Actress." ”

"Do you think the judges at the film school will award Best Actress to a blonde who looks brainless?" Charlize continued to laugh at himself.

"Then find a way to circumvent this," Sean laughed at the thought of something, "I remember, when Fred and I were talking about how actresses wanted to win Oscars, they used to say that they had to be ugly, they had to be miserable, they had to be crazy, and they had to think that they couldn't be normal people. ”

"I've heard of being ugly and going crazy, but what is miserable?" Charlize asked curiously.

"To put it simply, the story of the character should be as miserable as possible, such as being abused since childhood, growing up with nothing, it is easy to cheer up, and want to do something with the rest of her vitality, but she runs into a wall everywhere, no matter what she wants to do, there will be problems of one kind or another, so that she will fail. It's like giving a beautiful bubble, when she feels some hope, and then bursts it with her own hands in front of her, so she suffers a lot of frustration and finally dies tragically, just like ......" Sean tilted his head and thought about it carefully, "the 'Requiem for Dreams' in '00. ”

Charlize listened carefully at first, but when he got to Zuihou, he became disgusted: "Oh, this is disgusting. ”

"With such a plot, and then the character is dressed up ugly, with freckles on his face and gaining dozens of pounds, and his personality is set to be rude, irritable, and uneducated, and he is a little more crazy in his performance, and he shows the characteristics of an abnormal person, then he should basically win the Oscar for Best Actress," Sean continued, spreading his hands, "The film school judges just love this kind of character." ”

Then he lowered his voice: "Obviously, they love to see others suffer, but you know, it's impossible to show this kind of mind in life, so I had to look for it in the movie." ”

Charlize immediately sneered: "You'd better not let the film school judges hear this, otherwise you will definitely be unlucky." ”

"I know, so ......" Sean pretended to look around, then stared at Charlize intently.

"What, are you going to kill it?" Charlize, who knew what he meant, asked with a smile.

"I've thought about it, but the problem is, I can't beat you," Sean said, gesturing to the marks on his face, "so I can only pray that you don't say it." ”

Unconsciously, the relationship between the two became more and more harmonious, and the topics of conversation also extended a lot, such as commenting on their own works or the embarrassing state before becoming an actor, inevitably, Sean also talked about the contradictions between himself and his father.

"It's normal to have conflicts, children always have to grow up, and if they want to grow up, they have to have conflicts with their parents." Charlize said this, and then he didn't know what came to mind, and the look on his face became a little melancholy.

"What about your father?" Sean asked subconsciously, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing, because the moment he spoke, Charlize's face became extremely ugly.

Although she immediately regained her composure, the instantaneous change of color was clearly seen by Sean and left a deep impression. And, even though she controlled her emotions and looked the same as before, the hand holding the cup was still slightly straining, and her knuckles were a little white.

Obviously, there must have been a sharp contradiction between her and her father, or something quite unpleasant had happened, otherwise it wouldn't have been this expression.

For a moment, Sean didn't know what to say, but fortunately, Wahlberg's voice rang out: "Hey, you guys are hiding here." ”

"We just found a place to talk." Sean, who breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, immediately changed the subject.

"Really? Looks like you guys had a good conversation. Wahlberg squeezed Sean's eyes with an ambiguous look, and Sean smiled wryly back.

"I'm sorry, Mark, I want to go back." Charlize stood up at this point, with a hint of exhaustion.

"I'll send you." Sean immediately stood up.

"No need to ......"

"I insist, you just drank a lot, and it will be very troublesome to meet the police."

"But you ...... too"

"I only drank a little, as long as you drive it slowly, you will be fine, please rest assured, I will send you home and leave."

Sean said with a calm expression, and appropriately showed his persistence, and ignored the frowning of a certain guy next to him.
