MTL - Best Actor-Chapter 26 Still need to work

Put the cart before the horse and waste time and energy. By clearly distinguishing these two points, we can find the right direction to move forward and take a more solid step.

It is not so easy to convey emotions to the audience. In addition to his own efforts, this also requires the cooperation of a series of people such as the director, photographer, lighting engineer, etc. If the director always does not give close-up shots, the cameraman always has an angle a few degrees higher, and the lighting engineer always makes the lights brighter Or dark spots, then no matter how good the acting is, it will be discounted on the screen.

Although this is only an extreme situation, it is enough to show the importance of the team, so in addition to taking time to consult Mr. Harrington, Sean also attended various parties and tried to get to know more people and seeking more opportunities.

"Hey, Dax, I saw you over there just now, why are you running here now." As the voice came, the middle-aged man who was chatting with a beer bottle raised his head , and then his face changed.

"Damn, Eric, if I knew you were here, I wouldn't be here." Although he complained, there was no disgust.

"When did you become so timid, Dax Roman?" Eric Rees asked first, then laughed: "Okay, not tonight. Drinking with you - what have you been doing lately?"

Dax Roman was obviously relieved: "What else can I do, I'm busy casting a movie."

"Oh?" Reese looked curious.

"The Genius Ripley, the work of Patricia Highsmith, the famous thrilling female writer." Roman said briefly.

"I heard, it seems that Anthony Minghella intends to bring this novel to the screen?" Reese smiled and tapped him on the shoulder, "Good job, Dax, Started working with well-known directors."

"Stop touting, Eric, I'm just an assistant." Roman sighed, then noticed the young man beside Reese, "This is?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, this is Sean, Sean Tang; Sean, this is Dax, Dax Roman." Reese remembered something and pulled the man behind him. Introduce young people.

"You are Eric Reese's Sean?" Roman looked at Sean curiously.

"Eric's Sean?" The young man was a little stunned, but immediately laughed, "If Eric hasn't discovered another actor named Sean recently, then I should be that Shaw. Yes."

"Which idiot came up with this, what is Eric Reese's Sean." Reese exclaimed with some dissatisfaction, but with a smug smile on his face.

"Come on, Eric, this has been spread all over the circle, especially after Stevenson got out of the "Everybody Loves Raymond" crew, but he didn't get it It's just on the surface." Roman shrugged, then said with a sigh: "I have to say, your eyesight is indeed very good, Eric."

"Of course," Reese laughed, then tapped Sean on the shoulder, "How, do you think Sean can be the male lead in The Genius Ripley? ."

After sizing him up and down, Roman nodded: "It's very good, at least the appearance is very suitable, the male protagonist is a young man in his 20s. To be honest, if it wasn't for the audition, it was stipulated at the beginning. range, I'd be happy to recommend him."

"It's a pity," Reese said regretfully, "It seems that we have to look for another chance next time."

"Should be." Roman echoed a few words, then quickly changed the subject, and Reese didn't continue.

Sean would occasionally say a few words beside him, always with a calm expression, as if what they discussed before was just an ordinary thing that had nothing to do with him. From the beginning, Sean didn't expect to get a role in this situation. Although Reese recommended him several times, it was more to show off his vision. Look at Roman's perfunctory attitude.

The successful dramatic experience of the "Friends" crew has attracted a lot of attention in the TV circle, but it is still a lot worse than the real stars. Besides, this honor does not belong to him alone. The main focus of "Friends" is still on the six leading actors, and the one who recommended him in the past was Eric Reese, who was also loved by "Everyone Loves Raymond".

And, as Frederick said, if it's a TV role, someone else might seriously consider it, a movie role is basically a matter of luck.

It would be much better to have played a role in a big production, even if it was only a minor supporting role. Even though he was in a good mood, Sean couldn't help but think so in his heart. He doesn't remember a lot of blockbusters by name, mostly well-known blockbusters such as "Terminator," "Forrest Gump," "Titanic," as well as "Lord of the Rings," "Pirates of the Caribbean," and a Series of superhero movies.

Don't worry, take your time, there will definitely be a chance. That's what he said to himself at the end, and that's one of the reasons he sees himself as Reese's sidekick.

However, a lot of things are destined to happen tonight, just when Sean was thinking about getting to know more people, someone came over.

"I hid here, I'm looking for you everywhere, Sean." A familiar voice entered his ears, causing him to cough a few times involuntarily.

"Um...Is something wrong, Jane?" Sean smiled and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.

Jennifer didn't answer, just picked up his collar and greeted Reese and the others: "Hey Eric, can I borrow this guy for a while?"

"Please, ma'am." Reese immediately smiled and made a please gesture.

There is no way, Sean can only be pulled away by Jennifer, and then come to a small room. There were six or seven people sitting inside. Apart from Courteney and Lisa whom they knew, there were also a few strange men and women. Seeing them sitting in pairs, they were probably male and female friends.

"Oh, look who's here, welcome, Kapassa." Courteney stood up first and clapped, with a wicked smile on her face, she knew there was nothing good.

Sean couldn't help sighing again, but still squeezed out a smile to say hello to her and Lisa, and then somewhat regretted attending today's event at Jennifer's Villa to celebrate the break of "Friends" period party.

American TV dramas have two breaks: summer break and winter break. Summer break is the movie schedule. It's terrible, thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, ordinary people have festivals, actors and production companies also have festivals. Therefore, TV stations will choose to stop broadcasting TV series at such times. On the one hand, it avoids competition with movies and prevents intermittent shooting, and on the other hand, it hangs the audience's appetite. The summer break is very long, usually from May to September, and the winter break is slightly shorter, about December to January or February.

"Sean is a great young man, polite and humble, but a little too shy, so treat him well." Jennifer said after introducing him to Sean to others.

So, after sitting down and chatting for a few words, the group of people began to pull him to drink, and it was certain that they were playing tricks on themselves again. Sean became more and more depressed because of this. Although he liked them very much, he was not a toy at their mercy. It seemed that he was too humble and simple on the set of "Friends", which made them a little overwhelmed and had to find a way to give them some color. Look.

The opportunity soon came. Under Sean's feigned foolishness, he got acquainted with Jennifer's friends after a few drinks, and the atmosphere of the room became lively. A woman then came out with a small plastic bag.

"Hey guys, look, this is the best stuff," she said, holding up the bag of green-brown powder in her hand.

"Really, I'll try it." Another man took it, skillfully rolled it up and put it to his mouth, "Wow, it's really good."

Several people immediately divided things, rolled them into more than ten pieces, and then one of them handed three of them to Jennifer and the others.

"Do I want too?" Jennifer was obviously hesitant. Although Courteney took it over, seeing her like this, she will put it down again.

Only Lisa refused firmly: "No, no, you know, I'm already the mother of a one-year-old."

The other party did not insist, and supported and continued to encourage Jennifer and Courteney: "It's not a big deal to smoke one once in a while, besides, your men are not around, right? Don't worry about them seeing of."

Smoking marijuana is a common occurrence in Hollywood, especially at Hollywood parties. As I said before, almost no one in the United States has never smoked marijuana. Most young people have tasted marijuana when they go to school, and even many middle-class people will have one from time to time, not to mention actors who are much more stressed than the average person, so As long as it doesn't make you feel dizzy all day long, it's not a big deal to take a puff every now and then.

Jennifer and Courteney still didn't answer, until Sean's voice sounded: "Well, Jane, how about I drink five cans of beer for every one you smoke?"

"Ha, are you challenging us, little Sean?" Jennifer squinted her eyes, as if aroused by interest.

Sean raised his chest, blushed, and looked like he was on top of alcohol: "If you want to think so...you can!"

"I think we fulfill his wish." Courteney is also interested, but Lisa wants to smooth things out: "No need, Sean..."

"It's okay, Lisa, I just want to know if Jane and Keke have the courage." Sean interrupted Lisa's words with a smile. The advantage of pretending to be half-drunk is, Any faux pas can be pushed onto alcohol and keep the other person from thinking deeply about their words.

"Then I accept it." Jennifer immediately picked up a marijuana.

So, some of the troubles start out pretty simple.
