"Don't think about it so much. How long have you been a formal actor? Even if you perform well in stage plays at school, it's not a movie or TV, nor a professional one. So, all you need now is time. Take a few more roles and work with well-known directors. You will slowly grasp the key points. You are very good at grasping the key points, aren't you?" Garen, who was slow in cutting the turkey slices, said without raising his head.

"I know, just..." Sean, who was sitting at the dining table, sighed with his chin on his chin.

Well, Garen is right, this is a matter of time. He has only been an actor for a year, and he can play the leading role in the hands of a well-known director without that actor. In fact, the reason why he is anxious about this is mostly because the release date of "The Genius Ripley" is getting closer and there is less than a month left after Thanksgiving.

Although Sean's intuition has always told himself that this movie will be excellent, it is the first time in his past and present life, and it is understandable to be nervous and worried. This is like "Friends" that he participated in before, and he suffered all kinds of suffering the next day after the broadcast. He wanted to know the result but was afraid to collect information. After trying it out easily, he immediately became discouraged when he saw bad reviews.

However, the influence of the movie is much greater than that of TV, and the filming of another movie has ended, so he doesn't need to concentrate, etc. So he started to sigh early. Will the audience like him? You should know that many movies are good but the characters are hated. Will previous scandals have any impact? What kind of evaluation will the critics have?

In addition, "The Grim Reaper" is about to be closed when the preview of "The Grim Reaper" is about to be closed. In addition, Sean also knew that Weinstein didn't like him very much, so he didn't go, so he didn't have a more intuitive impression. Frederick went there, and after he came back, he said that the movie was good, and many viewers gave positive comments. Although he raised several questions, Mingla had already begun to correct it. However, Sean was reserved about this because many media did not think so, and they were all well-known media.

"It would be Anthony Mingla's biggest mistake to use an inexperienced newcomer to play the leading role. He should have considered a male actor with better acting skills. Hollywood is not short of such male actors, but he found a newcomer who has only played supporting roles in popular TV series, and he has just entered the industry for less than a year. This obviously affects the quality of the movie. No matter how outstanding the newcomer is, maybe there is something Mingla is interested in, but for the whole movie, it is more harmful than good." This is an article in "Hollywood Reports". Simply put, Sean has neither qualifications nor popularity as a newcomer, and it takes a lot of risks to use him as a male actor.

Because of the previous scandal with Gwyneth, Sean was finally more well-known in the media than before participating in "Friends", and the price was that most of his previous experiences were revealed. He participated in the battle between Reese and Stevenson, was attracted by the crew of "Friends", participated in the audition for the male lead of "Genius Ripley" and then impressed Mingla, etc. I have to say that he is lucky, at least so far, no one has discovered his age problem.

Then, he began to be sarcastic by the media. Well, this word is a bit inappropriate, or to be precise, it is looked down upon. At first, many people speculated with malicious intentions that the scandal with Gwyneth was destined to be exposed to hype himself, and after he did not respond for a long time, and after Miramax and Paramount successfully involved the hype issue in "The Genius Ripley", they began to criticize the movie again.

Comments like the Hollywood Reporter are already good, while some freelance writers are even more mean. An article in the Los Angeles Times reads: "We all know that many directors like to use non-professional actors as the lead role, such as when making movies related to repairmen, using a real repairman who has never had a performance experience as a leading actor, because they understand better than actors what the life of a repairman is like. Directors call this behavior real, even if their male lead looks stiff and awkward on the big screen. Anthony Mingella, as a British director, has obviously been somewhat influenced by this view. After the success of "The Patient in the UK", she wanted to experiment with him, so he found an amateur actor who is similar to Tom Ripley, who is also involved in the lead role, and has an affair with Gwyneth Paltrow, one of the heroines."

This description seems plain but actually vicious. He equated Sean with those amateur actors who performed stiffly and awkwardly on the big screen in just a few words. In addition, "amateur actors who are similar to Tom Ripley" is even a pun, making people associate Sean with Ripley as a guy who is distorted by desire. The rumor with Gwyneth is the best proof.

Sean went over and over again and again and did not recall any conflicts with this guy named Wells Norton, and he actually used such words to belittle himself. Even though he had been baptized before the broadcast of "Friends", Frederick repeatedly warned him that there might be many attacks before the movie was released, but he still felt very uncomfortable when he saw this.

Unfortunately, he has no way to fight back now. Even if he protests, he has received widespread support. The newspaper will use "the writers' views do not represent their views." This trick is actually shameless. The ability to publish this article itself represents their recognition to a certain extent.

In short, protests are ineffective and may even be ridiculed. This kind of attack is too common in Hollywood. What's more, Sean lacks popularity now and there is almost no response from anyone, so he can only choose to ignore it and focus on how to improve his acting skills.

"If you feel you can't rest, you can go to some theater troupes to see if there are any stage roles. Fred should be able to find it, or simply ask him to find you a new job." Garen, who had cut the turkey, put the plate in front of Sean.

"Forget it, I have a new contract to be fulfilled in another week," Sean shook his head, "Don't worry, this is just a temporary worry. I will adjust my mindset. At worst, I can go out to relax. Vancouver hasn't finished visiting last time."

"Why don't you go back to San Francisco to check out?" Garen suddenly asked, "This seems to be the second Thanksgiving you have been out there, right?"

"Yes, I know, I have my own arrangements." Sean immediately changed the subject.

"Okay, okay," Galen didn't talk about this, because they lived close to each other, so they had some knowledge of what happened at Sean's house. "So, let's talk about mine."

"What's the matter?" Sean put a slice of turkey into his mouth.

"I think you have to be an assistant, Sean." Garen thought about it, but chose to be straightforward.

Sean immediately turned red and his neck was thick. It was not because he was angry, but because Garen said this. He just swallowed the chicken in his mouth, so he got stuck there, and he almost couldn't even get angry.

After hammering the chest a few times, the chicken finally slipped down. After coughing a few times, Sean asked: "Why did you suddenly say this?"

"Don't get me wrong, Sean, I'm not saying that you're not giving good treatment, but there are too many things." Galen shrugged, "Look, I'm responsible for your three meals a day, taking care of you on the set, driving and running errands for you, watching two pets and managing the house, etc. I used to live in the apartment there, but now I'm too busy to move here."

He said, pointing around him. The restaurant alone had one-third of the size of the previous apartment, not to mention the entire house, not to mention two floors.

Sean was lucky. Before "The God of Death is Coming", no reporters bothered him anymore, so he moved after getting the remaining pay. Although there were commissions, taxes and various support, he was barely considered a millionaire, so he simply rented a villa in Beverly Hills.

It is about a few hundred square feet, with a swimming pool and a small garden, about a dozen rooms, and is equipped with furniture. The rent is over 10,000 yuan a month. It can be considered an intermediate level in Beverly Hills.

Since Garen came, Sean handed all these over to him. Now his living place has become several times larger, so he is indeed relatively busy.

"Look, you can find a cleaner for house cleaning, Pock and Lucy, I can take care of you. You just need to communicate with the crew and help with some chores, and it's actually not much changed." Sean thought for a while, "Of course, if you think the salary is a bit low, I can..."

"It's not a matter of money, Sean," Galen interrupted him, and there was a little bit of a bad time. "As long as you need it, even if the salary is only half of what you are now, or even no point, I will come to help you. We are friends. But Sean, I need time, I need time to plan the future and realize my ideals. When I was in Los Angeles, I still had time to experiment with making more dishes, but when I went out, I could basically just circle around you. Moreover, being your assistant is not so easy. You have to think about a lot of things for you, be a soundbar between you and the crew, observe the crew's movements, and help if necessary, just like driving Hoberg away. Fred's guy was a bit arrogant, but he also taught me a lot of things. If you trust me, of course I have to be worthy of your trust, but my ability is still slightly insufficient, and if you do it well, I have to give up a lot of things. I can't do that."

Speaking of this, he sighed, spreading his hands out with helplessness and embarrassment.

Sean touched his chin, not angry or unhappy, but thought: "Okay, then what are you going to do?"

"Driving, running errands, chefs and housekeepers, that's it." Garen thought for a while, "Of course, if necessary, I can help with other things."

"Well, I'll think about it, but you'll have to keep being my assistant until then," Sean said after thinking for a few minutes. "But, I might have to cut it by half."

Galen was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know what to say, and then Sean laughed: "I'm kidding."
