107. Chapter 107 Try to believe
"You said, there is a role that is suitable for me?" Naomi blinked, as if she didn't believe it.
"Yes, it's very suitable. It's almost... a part of you." Sean took the cup she handed and drank it in one gulp.
After getting David Lynch's promise, he drove over from Culver City alone almost immediately, for fear of any problems or changes in the process.
Naomi didn't speak. She lowered her head and thought for a while before sighing softly: "You have already recommended a role to me, Sean, no need...you don't have to always do this..."
"This is really a great role, Nami," Sean quickly put down the cup and held her hand, "Although I only listened to Lynch's dictation, I thought of you almost immediately, and thought of... the earliest
The helpless and desperate look I encountered when I met you is still deep in my heart. Do you know, Nami, he almost planned to use Mulholland Drive as the title of the movie. This is your chance to show it in front of everyone.
Your unyielding chance!”
Although he spoke very excitedly, Naomi remained silent, looking away, her hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and a hesitant look on her beautiful face.
Sean couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart. They had been living together on and off for more than a year. How could he not know what she was thinking. At first, they cuddled each other to keep each other warm. Now he has become famous, from an unknown person to a dazzling star, but
She is still an actor who can't even be considered a second-tier actor. That huge sense of gap, coupled with Sean's flirtatious character, how can she feel safe? This is what she did after "The Talented Mr. Ripley"
He didn't mention the relationship again, and it was one of the reasons why he was avoiding him now.
"Nami," Sean held Naomi's hand, brought it to his mouth and kissed her gently, then looked at her, "do you believe me?"
Naomi, who looked at him, couldn't help but breathe irregularly, moved her lips, but couldn't speak.
"Do you believe me, Nami?" Sean asked again, with an emphasis on his tone.
Naomi looked struggling, hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "Of course I believe you."
"Then take this role," Sean patted the back of her hand. "Maybe this movie will take a long time, and maybe it won't be released until next year, but it will make you get what you deserve."
I firmly believe in this, just like I firmly believe that you are outstanding, and your future should never be like this!"
Naomi's eye circles suddenly turned red. After taking a deep breath, she nodded: "I promise you, Sean, I will take this role and I will try my best to play it."
After her statement, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to force Naomi so much, but this matter was too important.
For some reason, as soon as he heard David Lynch talk about the content of the story, Sean had a feeling, a strong feeling, that this character must be Naomi.
He didn't know why he had this idea, this idea that he must win for Naomi. If it was an intuition, it had never been so strong, as if it was urging him to do it.
Therefore, he started lobbying without hesitation, and relying on his previous good impression, he finally got Lynch to agree to the audition request, and then rushed to Naomi's house non-stop.
Sean knew very well that using their feelings for each other to force Naomi to accept would probably have an impact on their relationship in the future, but he had no better way. Can a movie be a big hit or can it win
Even the director and producer can't guarantee good reviews, so why should he be accepted?
But Sean trusts his intuition, so even if there may be problems in the future, even if it becomes the trigger for a breakup, he will do it. Naomi should not waste time like this. Sean knows that she is an excellent actress, and this is not a lie.
Well, there should be a place for her in Hollywood, so this is all he can do now.
However, although Naomi successfully agreed to audition, the trouble had just begun.
"You left without saying hello. Do you know how embarrassed I was? When you left, did you ever think that I was still in the club? Or in your mind, I was just a person who showed up when you needed me and rushed when you didn't need me.
A disappearing ghost?" Jordana's sharp voice penetrated Sean's head through electromagnetic waves.
"Of course not," Sean smiled bitterly, "Listen to me, Xiao Qiao, I just think this matter is very important and needs to be decided. I have not ignored your intention..."
"Really?" Jordana sneered from the other side, "So you left immediately after David Lynch agreed and didn't even wait one more night. It's really important."
Sean continued to smile bitterly and wanted to tell the difference when a voice came from the other side again: "That's enough, Sean, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Go on a date with your so-called friend and stop bothering me!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone, and Sean sighed. She wouldn't listen to anything he said now, so he could only wait for a while. However, is it okay for her to lose such a temper over this matter?
Explain something?
Shaking his head, sighing again, putting away the phone and turning around, Sean couldn't help but be stunned again. Galen and Sanders were sitting on the sofa looking at him with gloating expressions, plus
Lucy lying on the armrest and Poke sticking his head out from behind the sofa form a very interesting picture.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Sean couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, we were just watching the fun," Galen shrugged, "to see how a guy with two boats fell into the water."
"Not really, at least Naomi hasn't treated him like this yet." Sanders said with a smile. Although he had only been here a few days, he already understood most of Sean's situation from Galen.
The matter of Naomi and Jordana is certainly no exception.
"But it is indeed not as good as you before. In high school, you coaxed them into running around." He then added, and then he and Galen laughed.
"Okay, I know, I left you there again last night, can I apologize to you?" Sean could only say with his hands clasped together.
"It doesn't matter, we are used to it." Galen spread his hands.
"It was like this in high school. Once we met a beautiful girl, she would leave us behind." Sanders added.
The two laughed again.
Sean couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Okay, whatever you want, if it makes you happy."
Then, my phone rang, so I took it out and took a look. It was something familiar but I couldn’t remember it.
"Are you going to compete with me for my job, Sean? Don?" After pressing the answer button, before Sean could speak, a stern female voice came from the other side.
"Hug... I'm sorry, who is this?" Sean was a little confused.
"Who? You found my client last night and self-righteously recommended a role to her, and now you ask me who it is?" The other party snorted heavily.
With these words, Sean would be an idiot if he couldn't remember who it was.
"What's the problem, Anna?" Sean asked immediately.
"What's the problem? Do you understand what Naomi needs now, Sean?" Anna Gordon seemed to want to sigh.
"Fame or honor, in short, requires a role that everyone knows and applauds." Sean replied after thinking for a while.
"Then you recommended her to David Lynch? Since you asked me to be her agent, you should trust me instead of rushing to do what I should do!" Anna shouted angrily.
"Well... well, there are some things that I couldn't explain over the phone. How about I come over and have an interview with you now?" Sean asked after thinking for a few seconds.
The office is large and bright, and the interior decoration is very simple. There is only a glass door separating it from the corridor. It is easy to see what is going on inside. There is no doubt that these all show the owner's capable style. She does not need to give up everything she has.
Hidden behind the thick wooden door of the fully enclosed office.
But Sean didn't have time to observe this at this time. He was busy dealing with Anna, hoping to convince her to let Naomi take over the role of Lynch.
"Compared with the box office, honors and praise from film critics are undoubtedly what Nami needs most now. You also said that once an actress is over 30 years old, it will be difficult to become famous, so anyone who can win Nami's honors
You shouldn’t miss any of the works.” Sean said.
However, Anna only asked him: "Do you know how many actors David Lynch has made famous?"
After Sean was stunned for two seconds and started shaking his head, she added: "Only half. Nicolas Cage did receive a certain amount of praise for starring in "Wild at Heart", but what really made him famous was
"Escape from Las Vegas" and the Oscar for Best Actor."
"But you also said that Cage did receive a certain amount of praise. In that case, why can't Nami repeat it?" Sean thought for a while and said.
"Because Naomi is a woman, the reality is that if a woman wants to become famous here, she has to work harder than a man." Anna raised her eyebrows.
Looking at that proud look that refused to admit defeat, Sean felt that if she really had a relationship with Frederick, it would be normal for her to break up.
"Okay, Sean, when you asked me to get Naomi's agent before, I didn't ask about your relationship with her, but now, you should tell me, right?" Anna then said, "Don't worry, I'll listen.
After Naomi heard the details of what happened, she still didn't persuade her to give up."
"Well... how should I put it, more than friends, not lovers," Sean said with a wry smile, "I don't know how to position myself. I met her at the most difficult time, and she was also at the most difficult time.
He met me when he was young, and we have supported each other until now. I am now lucky enough to become famous, and Nami, who is better than me, should not fall behind no matter what."
Anna frowned and looked at him for a while, then nodded imperceptibly: "Well, at least she is better than some people - but I still don't recommend her to take this movie. The gambling component is too great, and Naomi also
There’s not much time left to waste.”
Sean pursed his lips and said after a long time: "I am optimistic about this movie, just like I am optimistic about "The Talented Mr. Ripley"."
Anna opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. If it were before, she might have asked: What's the use of your optimism? But after "The Talented Mr. Ripley" won both box office and word-of-mouth success, Sean said this again,
The meaning is different. She is Endeavor's agent, and her relationship with Frederick is unclear. She knows Sean's rise to fame better than outsiders.
