Before telling Frederick about this, Sean had already read the script from Drew. It was a science fiction movie with the theme of time and space. Basically, it was about an airplane in flight.

It malfunctioned and crashed, and the engine fell through the wormhole to the home of a young girl's boyfriend who was on the plane before the 28th, causing time distortion. From here on, the world was separated to form another universe, and

It was destroyed in a plane crash 28 days later. So the boy had to make a choice, either wait for the distortion to be smoothed out until the separated universe ended, or choose to die himself, thereby pulling the universe back to 28 days ago and integrating into it.

Of course, this is just a simple introduction. In fact, there are many settings, which are very bold and innovative, and can be shot without too many special effects. As far as the characters are concerned, there are also many places that can be used, such as how to embody

The male protagonist's neurosis, or how he evolves from not understanding his family to understanding, and the gloomy youth that many young people can relate to.

The only question is, Sean has just played a mature role and received good reviews, and now he has returned to play a high school student. Will it be rejected by film critics or audiences? But then again, can he play a mature role and a young one?

Switching between roles easily is what an outstanding actor should do. Besides, he has already played a high school student in the upcoming "Death Comes", so he just took this opportunity to observe.

In this way, and as mentioned before, if you want to be favored by the film academy or Oscar, it is necessary to play more roles in excellent independent films. So after reading the detailed script, I still intuitively concluded that it is not good at least in terms of reputation.

After deciding how bad it would be, Sean decided to take the role.

As for Frederick, as mentioned before, if he can be contacted for auditions for big-budget roles, Sean wouldn't mind trying.

Let’s not mention this for the moment. Both “Death Illusion” and the big production that the agent dreamed of are still a little far away from now, so after the matter was decided, Sean put his energy elsewhere, such as the upcoming “Death Is Coming”, and

Or at the Oscars at the end of the month, and... something unexpected.

"Sean..." Galen glanced at Sean, then hung his head, speechless. Sanders next to him covered his mouth, showing an unbearable expression.

"What's wrong? I just went out for a walk for two hours, but when I came back it seemed like someone had died." Sean looked at them inexplicably and asked in a half-joking tone.

"Actually..." Sanders took a deep breath and closed his eyes as if it was a little unbearable. In addition, Galen held his face, giving people the feeling that he had suffered a major change and could not accept it.

It seemed as if someone familiar had really died, which made the atmosphere in the whole room much more solemn.

"Can't you finish what you said in one breath?" Sean couldn't help being infected and asked with a frown.

"Neil..." Sanders spit out such a name, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be trembling, "Neil, he..."

"What's wrong with Neil?" Sean frowned tightly and clenched his hands tightly, as if Sanders was going to pry his mouth if he continued to hesitate like this.

Then, a young man about their age with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly jumped out: "Surprise!"

At the same time, with a bang, Galen and Sanders took out two ribbon tubes from nowhere and sprayed out the ribbons inside. For a moment, colorful pieces of paper floated in the corridor, and the ones that popped out before

The guy hugged Sean and said, "What's wrong with Neil? Neil came to Los Angeles to see Sean!"

He said in an exaggerated aria tone, and laughed heartily, feeling very happy and proud. Then his neck tightened, and Sean's arm hooked around his neck and strangled him fiercely.

"Surprise, right? Very good, then I'll give you a surprise too, Neil!" Sean sneered, "Or we can just turn what Galen and Sandy wanted to express into reality!"

"Help...Help! I'm...dying...you two...help me!" The young man named Neil coughed and shouted loudly, reaching out to Galen and Sanders for help.

It's a pity that the two guys didn't have the slightest intention to help, they both looked at him with a smile, and Sanders shrugged: "We agreed, Neil, if you make Sean angry, you have to bear it alone."

's anger."

"Okay... have mercy on... Sean... I was wrong..." Neil had no choice but to start begging for mercy.

Finally, Sean let him go, but after clapping his hands, he deliberately let out a breath in a very comfortable posture.

"You guys...are always like this..." Neil, who was holding on to the wall, gasped a few times and couldn't help laughing when he looked at him. Then Sean, Galen, and Sanders also laughed.

.

With a cry of "We are all together again at last", the laughter became louder and the corridor was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Neil ****man, Sean's third best friend, whose father is an investor, went to Harvard University after graduating from high school, complained on the phone all day that college life was boring, and really wanted to drop out and start a business on his own. But Xiao

En has been warning him that if he dares to say this in front of him, he will be dead. Because of this, he has not come to Los Angeles until now.

Generally speaking, it is good for a person to have one close friend in his life, but Sean has three. From this point of view, he is very lucky. The four people who grew up together have always had fights even if they have quarreled.

, but they are always close. They are friends and brothers. As long as the other party is in trouble, they will definitely try their best to lend a helping hand - well, things like Sean beating Neil don't count.

So Sean called Galen and Sanders over from San Francisco with just one phone call, so Sanders and Neil didn't care even if they were "beaten up", so it was right for Sean to be ridiculed and teased from time to time.

They spent the afternoon in a noisy manner and didn't stop until dinner was over. Then they went to the garden outside to drink beer and chat. Although the March night was still a bit cold, it was not a problem in Los Angeles.

"The temperature here is much better than in Boston and New York, especially when the wind blows. If you wear a little thin clothing, you will shiver in the wind. When we just passed there, we almost caught a cold because of lack of preparation." Neil said as he said.

He took a big sip of beer and said, "In places like San Francisco and Boston, you can drink cold beer outside in March - by the way, when will your beer commercial be aired?"

"It is said that the post-production process has been completed," Sean shrugged, "probably before the release of "Death Is Coming"."

"I have to say, Sean, your performance is really great. It is much higher than the stage play in high school. I watched "The Talented Mr. Ripley" three times for this." Neil said again as if he was taking credit.

.

"It seems that he hooked up with three girls." Sanders said to Galen immediately, without lowering his voice at all, and Neil immediately started to cough dryly.

"By the way, Neil, why are you here in Los Angeles now? Are you busy because you don't have classes recently?" Sean asked, changing the subject.

"Well...tomorrow happens to be the weekend, and there really isn't much to do. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I just came over." Neil explained with an unnatural look on his face.

However, Sean didn't notice. He just raised his beer and said, "That's great. We haven't had a party like this for a long time. We must have a crazy time these two days."

"No problem!" Neil agreed immediately, and then muttered: "As long as you don't sing any more songs from The Graduate."

Sean couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Why do they think of "The Graduate" every time they sing a Simon and Garfunkel song? Well, probably because "The Sound of Silence" is so famous.

Fortunately, they did not continue to discuss this, but talked about other things, and soon they talked about women.

"Really, Sean? You got an Oscar winner? How does it feel?" After learning from Galen and Sanders about Sean's affair history after becoming an actor, the first thing Neil asked was

This, so Sean gave him an unceremonious middle finger.

Neil didn't care, but seemed very interested: "I knew he could quickly hook up with women wherever he went, and Hollywood was no exception."

At this point, he suddenly stopped and stared at the night sky for a few seconds before asking again: "By the way, Sean, who was your first woman?"

Hearing these words, Sean was also stunned, and his expression involuntarily changed slightly. Then Galen next to him answered for him: "Of course it was Catalina in 8th grade, although Sean didn't

Admittedly, but Katarina is almost universally acknowledged as his first girlfriend, Sean had almost never officially dated a girl before her."

"Really, Sean?" Neil immediately asked with interest.

"Well...that's right, it's Catalina. It's not like you don't know that I learned Italian for her." Sean nodded quickly.

"Wait!" Sanders suddenly called out, his eyes fixed on Sean, "No, Katarina is definitely not."

"What's wrong?" Galen and Neil were both a little confused, while Sean's expression changed slightly.

"Look at his little finger holding the beer can," Sanders pointed at Sean excitedly. "What I have been observing just now is that Sean's little finger has been tapping the beer can regularly."

Galen and Neil looked at each other, the smiles began to widen on their faces, and then they stared hard at Sean.

"When there is a major discrepancy between what Sean said and the facts, he will do this little trick!"

"So Katarina is definitely not his first woman!"

Now all three of them acted like the Big Bad Wolf had seen Little Red Riding Hood: "So, who is it, Sean?!"

"Didn't Galen just say that, Katarina?" Sean still pretended to be calm.

"Come on, Sean, you've already exposed your flaws." Neil laughed.

"Let's tell the truth honestly." Galen also "rebellion" without hesitation.

Sanders simply picked up the beer can and knocked it rhythmically on the small round table: "Sean! Sean! Sean!"

Then, the other two also shouted, indicating that he would never give up if he didn't say anything. Sean tried to defend himself several times, but was blocked by these neat shouts.

"Stop covering up, Sean, is there anything else you can't say to us?" Neil's words became the last straw.

Sean, who was still struggling a bit, calmed down, pursed his lips and sighed, seeming to let go of something: "Okay, I said..."
