MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 20 fresh start

With a smile on his face, he looked at the man lying next to him and said. Although the quilt was pulled over from the chest, because the upper body was propped up, the spring light inside could be vaguely seen.

"It's not a big deal to stop once in a while." Sean looked at the ceiling and sighed.

"It's just that I didn't see my first performance on TV, so don't be so depressed." Naomi couldn't help but tap his fist lightly on the head.

"You also said, this is my first time performing on TV. I'm so unwilling to miss it." Shawn complained, then turned around and stretched out his arms from under the quilt He hugged her waist and buried his head in her chest, "So comfort me again, Nami."

"Enough was enough last night." Feeling the tingling sensation in her chest, Naomi smiled and pushed his head aside, then got up and put her back on him.

Seeing her beautiful body and her attractive spine, Sean couldn't help but sigh. After that night, he and she began to share the same bed. Although it was not a lingering night, the number of times was not too small. Usually, they became more and more intimate in life. However, neither of them had a clear relationship with each other.

Afterwards, he managed to get a role and successfully completed the shooting and broadcast. Of course he wanted to share it with Naomi. Because there was no TV in the room he rented, he took her outside to find a place to watch it last night, and because he wanted to surprise her, he went to the small bar and waited until the time was up to tell the other party, so... he missed it.

It's very simple. Although some small bars have TVs, they basically broadcast sports events except for news, such as American football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, etc. Many of them cannot go to the stadium for various reasons. People who go to the bar will come to the bar to ask for a beer or something, and watch TV while drinking to cheer for their favorite team. If you want to watch TV series, you have to go to a cafe or some small restaurants, and the TV will be broadcast in those places.

When Sean understands it, it's too late to go to the cafes and small restaurants that broadcast "Friends". As a sitcom, each episode of "Friends" only lasts more than 20 minutes. Wherever you delay, you may miss half of it, not to mention waiting in the bar until it starts, and then rushing out to look around. Therefore, Sean failed to see his image on TV for the first time, and was laughed at by Naomi for a long time.

"I can't believe it, don't you even know this, Sean?" Her beautiful grey-green eyes complete the crescent at the mention of this.

I am not omnipotent. Sean could only say this in his heart very depressed, but no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't see it on the night of the broadcast.

"They will replay, and you can't watch it again." Naomi, who brought a simple breakfast to the coffee table, said so.

"I know." Sean is still a little listless. After all, the replay and the premiere are different, and how many people can watch the replay?

"Don't worry, Sean, your performance must be perfect." Naomi said immediately after seeing something.

"Thanks, I hope so." Sean shrugged, then glanced at the old computer in the corner.

In the end, he was so unwilling not to see the premiere, he mainly wanted to know how well he acted. Although I think it's good, the director and Jennifer also say it's good, but what about the audience's reaction? Many people, or most people in the world, when they have achieved a result, will want to share it with others to get evaluation and even praise.

Some people may say that this is very vain, but isn't this the normal state of society? Humans are social animals, and how many people do not want more recognition? As long as you have a good grasp of the degree, know where your abilities lie, and can hear the voices of criticism, it will be no big deal.

However, although Sean is eager to know the audience's reaction, he is also very worried, what if it will not be popular? This is normal, this is the first time facing anything, not to mention this is his first role, the first role that has worked hard and turned around!

So he couldn't see his work for the first time, obviously the computer was nearby and connected to the Internet, but he was still hesitant to go online to see it.

"If you are very concerned, you can buy a few magazines and see how they comment." Naomi added at this time.

"Such an ordinary episode of a TV series will have comments?" Sean was slightly surprised.

"The most well-known newspapers and magazines certainly won't have them, but some that sell in general or pay attention to the TV circle should have them, such as "TVshow". After all, "Friends" is a popular TV series." Na Omi teased a little.

Sean rubbed his chin, then suddenly got up and walked out, forgetting about half of his breakfast: "I'll be right back."

Naomi was stunned for a while before shaking her head with a smile and continuing to drink her own milk.

However, ten minutes later, Sean, who was in high spirits, came back dejected, handed over the "TVshow" magazine in his hand without waiting for Naomi to ask questions, and then fell into The sofa was motionless.

When Naomi opened the magazine, her doubts were solved: "Last night we saw the latest episode of the fifth season of "Friends" on NBC. A lot of changes. Yes, it's a great work, and it's still very popular, but that same layer of style has clearly started to hold back the show. The most obvious example, everyone at the beginning The characters are very distinct, but over time, they began to homogenize, just like the new characters that came out last night, we can see the shadow of Ross and Joey in him..."

"Okay, Nami, let me calm down a little?" Sean sighed, scratching his head.

"He didn't say you acted badly, did he?" said Naomi, who didn't read it any further.

"It's just not stated." Sean raised his hands with a wry smile.

"Hey Sean, it's really nothing, it's just a review in a magazine, why not look at the others." Naomi sat beside him and shook Stopping his hand, "You shouldn't be the one to worry about this kind of thing."

"I know, I know, I'm just..." Sean gestured meaninglessly, as if he didn't know what to say, and then the pager vibrated.

Pick it up and take a look, it's Frederick's phone number, Sean didn't want to return it, he has been hit enough from last night to now, but he recalled what the agent said at the beginning , and finally borrowed Naomi's mobile phone to call.

"How do you feel, Sean? Are you too excited to see yourself on TV for the first time?" With laughter, Sean had no trouble picturing his smug look in his mind.

"No," he rolled his eyes subconsciously, "I didn't see it, there is no TV at home."

"No TV? Then you can..." There was a little surprise there.

"Okay, Fred, just say it." Sean didn't want to repeat what happened yesterday.

"Okay, the ratings have come out, do you want to hear it?" The agent's tone was filled with excitement.

Sean wanted to say no, but changed his mind: "Okay, how much?"

"17.64 million!" Frederick laughed, "Man, you've taken a pretty solid step!"

After hearing this data, Sean, who was already emotionally fluctuating because of his worries, took a deep breath. Although he has only entered this circle for a month, he basically understands these data. If a TV series can have about 15 million viewers, it is basically considered a hit. If it can have around 20 million viewers, then It's the most popular.

Although "Friends" has more than 20 million viewers, there are many excellent programs with competitive ability, and secondly, there will be ups and downs when playing for a long time, so on average, the highest It was 17 million in 1994 to 1995, and at other times it was basically 15 million to 16 million. Since the fifth season began, the highest single episode viewership was 16 million and the lowest was 14 million. On average, it was a decent level, but now it has suddenly reached 17 million, which is enough to show how good this episode is. ,only…

"Yeah... they are indeed very popular actors." Sean scratched his head and said so.

"Of course they are... Hey, what are you talking about?" asked Frederick, who was aware of something, "Didn't you read the media reports today?"

"Look, "TVshow" said..." Sean's slightly depressed words were interrupted before he finished speaking.

""TVshow"? You actually went to see "TVshow"?!" The agent's voice became much sharper.

"Is there a problem?" Sean wondered.

"What's the problem? Ha, genius, do you know which publishing company publishes TVshow? It's Dubble Publishing! Do you know who Dubble's parent company is? News Group! Do you know what other subsidiaries of News Corporation? 20th Century Fox and FOX TV! There are so many periodicals under Time Warner, "Entertainment Weekly" or "Essence", have you not read any of them?" Frederick's voice again Big and urgent, Sean had to keep his phone away.

Even so, he could still feel the face with the expression of hating iron and steel in front of him.

"Listen, listen! This is the best episode of Season 5 so far, with a steady stream of laughs that never stops, especially Rachel and Kasapa's date. ...Oh, and this one, there are many new characters, but this time is the most impressive...and these...and these...there are too many, go to the street and buy them back to see for yourself! See how they complimented you!" With the sound of flipping the book, the manager yelled at the other end, and his heart, which had started to beat fast with his words, became more violent.

An unprecedented feeling welled up in my heart, so much so that Sean put down the phone, and he still looked like he couldn't let go.

"Are you okay, Sean?" Naomi asked worriedly beside her.

Sean slowly raised his head: "It's okay, I just..."

Success? Yes, it worked!

"I won, Nami, I won!" He suddenly jumped up, hugged the relatively petite Naomi in his arms, and laughed.

A new door opens.
