MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 2 just try

Not him, not him. Sean, who was holding the phone, said nervously in his heart. Finally, the phone was connected, and when there was a voice over there, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey Laura, it's me... yes, of course, thanks," Sean said, leaning sideways against the phone booth, pulling the rope in his hand to prevent Excited Poker ran around.

"Hi mom, how are you? I'm fine, really, I can take care of myself. I've tripled my salary today and the boss is a swearing guy, but he's still a nice guy at heart...of course , certainly can't be compared to home, but it's a completely different experience... no, no, mom, let's not talk about this, okay?... ok, I got it... um... I'll make a decision on a case-by-case basis... ok Yes, I love you too, bye."

Ended the call with his mother, and after hanging up the microphone, Sean sighed. Looking around, the sky was basically dark, and the street lights came on early.

"Hey, Polk, come back, we should go." Willing.

"Don't worry, tomorrow weekend, you can go for a walk wherever you want." Shawn touched its head and said, "We agreed, didn't we? If I want to call, then The time spent shopping has to be reduced.”

No way, it's not that he doesn't want to use a mobile phone, it's only 1998, and there are still two or three years before mobile phones are fully popularized. Now a Nokia 5110 mobile phone costs at least 900 US dollars, and other brands only need 700 to 800 US dollars, this expense should be considered a thing or two for ordinary families, not to mention Sean, who is now shriveled.

As for extending the time for walking the dog... Sean, holding Polk, carefully looked at the surrounding streets again, nothing suspicious, and immediately strode to his apartment.

distribution center for homeless people.

Fortunately, Sean's apartment is not far from West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, and it is close to Highway 106, so the security is much better than near West Lake. Even so, he wouldn't be hanging around outside after 9 o'clock, he didn't want some **** or Mexican to hold a gun to his head.

"InrestlessdreamsIwalkalone, Narrowstreetsofcobblestone..." After returning to the apartment to take a shower, Sean, who was only wearing boxers and his upper body naked, sat on the old sofa, playing a guitar and singing a cappella.

The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel is one of his favorites, and whenever he has time he always plays and sings it, beautifully The melody and lyrics that complement each other are very comfortable. Of course, there is another reason why he can't forget this song. As for what it is, I won't say it now.

Sean sings very well, and with the same good guitar accompaniment, it has a bit of the original flavor. You know, although he wasn't a big man in high school, he was also a versatile man. He had participated in clubs, performed at school celebrations, played basketball guard, dated a cheerleader, and nearly won the prom, but...

"It's still a little impulsive, even though we've lived together for two lifetimes." After singing a song and sitting for a while, Sean grabbed his head and sighed, "We should make a plan, Even if it might not work."

Well, I can't say that, he also made some preparations, such as getting the current car through his mother for $2,000. It has been used for 15 years, but the appearance and performance are still good sandglow Model Ford, he had prepared some savings for a long time, but now it seems that this is not enough. The most obvious point is that he should apply for a credit card before leaving.

Xiao En in his previous life was a very ordinary Chinese young man, born in a small town, also called Xiao En - of course, not at first, at first his name was Xiao Zhenhua.

However, when he was very young, his mother abandoned the family and ran away, and his father also died when he was 15 years old, and he worked outside for a long time, so he was basically considered a Raised by the community, I changed my name to remember this, and I wanted to be more foreign, so I finally changed it to Sean.

Although his life experience is a bit miserable, he is no different from ordinary people in other aspects. There is no adventure and no personality outbreak. After going to high school on a work-study program and then to a third-tier university, Sean went to work in a small business that made headphones and microphones, and it was very dull until a few years later.

By then, the house was full of smoke. And then, maybe just for a moment, maybe countless hours later, he was born into a family in San Francisco in 1980, from Sean to Sean Tang - loosely speaking, sean is also correct. .

This is a solid and kind family, father Tony Tang is a very dignified man, with a quarter of Chinese blood - this is San Francisco after all. Her mother, Alice Tang, is from New York. She is gentle, generous, and graceful. She is very popular in the community. On the other hand, Liana Tang, her older sister, is serious and mature on the surface, but quite lively in private.

It's just that there are problems in past lives, and there are troubles in this life. The most obvious point is that Sean has a bad relationship with his father and will come to Los Angeles alone after high school, and not wanting to live with his father is the biggest reason.

Unfortunately, he underestimated the difficulties of living an independent life, and now he has reached this point. Speaking of which, the reborn has the advantage of foresight. It seems that it should be easy to make money, but in fact it is not too likely. Although memory does not really disappear from the mind, if it is not impressed or forgotten, it will not only take a lot of time to remember, but also need a lot of stimulation.

Even so, if it's not something impressive, it's a piece of my mind.

Therefore, ordinary people like Sean won't bring many advantages after rebirth, and it is more likely to be an afterthought. For example, when he realized that he could buy some Microsoft stock and wait for the appreciation, it was long past the price of Chinese cabbage.

Although he spent his savings in 1996 and went to China, he exchanged the remaining almost 200 US dollars for Microsoft shares. After selling it in 1998, he got 1,000 after deducting taxes. Dollars, not as much as he earned by working during the summer vacation, and finally had to borrow some from a friend, only to get enough cash to go to Los Angeles after buying a car.

Of course, this does not mean that he is mediocre. In fact, thanks to his past life, Sean's intuition is quite sensitive. For example, at the end of April 1992, the school organized students to go to Los Angeles for extracurricular activities. Sean always felt that something bad would happen, so he made excuses not to go, and even persuaded a few friends not to go, so he was lucky to avoid it. That riot, instead of being stuck on the highway all night like everyone else.

But anyway, he is not so easy to admit defeat, so he suddenly jumped up from the sofa, waved his hand violently, and shouted at someone who was not in front of him: "Try Just try it!"

"Hello, I'm Sean Tang, and I have an appointment with Mr. Frederick Rogers." While talking to the young girl at the front desk, Sean looked around the hall .

The style of a big company.

"Okay, Mr. Tang, please go to the third floor. The fifth space on the left of the elevator is Mr. Rogers' seat." The young girl said this immediately after the phone call.

cute.

"Thanks," Sean nodded, then pointed to her ear, "You know, I think you should change your earrings to a brighter pair."

"Oh?" The young girl looked at him with surprise and curiosity.

"Although your skin tone is a little darker, it is healthy and beautiful, but earrings should not choose a color similar to your skin tone, so that your skin tone will be darker in contrast."

"Really?" she asked in surprise, leaning a bit.

"Well, at least I think so." Sean raised his hands and made a calm look.

The young girl immediately realized something, sat up straight and coughed slightly shyly, and quickly put on a business tone: "I see, thank you."

After a pause, she glanced at him again, and then she lowered her voice again: "My name is Sarah, Sarah Rivett."

"Nice to meet you, Sarah, see you later." Sean nodded, whistled inwardly, and walked to the elevator. This life is very different.

Coming to the third floor, Sean soon saw the Frederick who stopped him on Friday afternoon and waved to him not far away: "This way, Sean."

"Ha, I thought you would have a separate office." Sean said after walking to his partition, glancing at the offices with clear glass.

He was not completely idle during the two weekends. Since he decided to try it, he must do some more detailed investigations. Maybe there are opportunities without preparation. There are many unexpected things in the world. Things, like he underestimated the difficulty of living alone, but if you are not prepared, you will definitely have no chance. If Sean hadn't started scouting purposefully since he was in elementary school, or he'd been saving money slowly, let alone moving out and becoming independent, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to afford a used car.

So, he has a general understanding of the profession of agents. In a sense, they are intermediaries, mainly for those celebrities, such as movie stars, TV stars and sports stars to find jobs or Sell ​​them out.

For example, finding the script they want, for example, for them to fight for a good role in a blockbuster, for example, for them to match a transfer, etc., and the agent generally takes a 10% commission from the income obtained by the client as reward.

It is worth mentioning that an agent and a manager are two different things. The former's main job is to sell, while the latter's main job is to package image and plan careers. In the beginning, these two positions were actually the same, but in the 1960s and 1970s, many brokers ignored the development of clients in order to make money, thus destroying many celebrities - it is said that Elvis himself was also affected by it - this is the reason. Gradually separated, many times the client's family served as the manager.

And those sitting in those cubicles are naturally ordinary agents, and they are all ordinary actors in their hands, but it is these ordinary agents and ordinary actors who support the American film industry.
