Best Actor

    The door closed with a clatter, Sean walked to the desk, turned around and folded his arms to look at Frederick: "Okay, now there's no one else, what do you have to say? Just say it."

    Even so, and his expression was calm, but just by looking at the movement of his leaning on the table, he knew that he did not intend to cooperate, and he knew what he wanted to ask. The agent didn't speak, just wiped his mouth and watched him close it every time he wanted to speak.

    "You said you wanted to talk to me alone, then we'll talk alone, but now we're not talking." Sean said and left the desk, "If you always do this, then we Don't talk about it."

    "Where were you that night?" Frederick finally asked, "Tell me, Sean, tell me the truth."

     "As I said, I spent the night in a little deserted park on 12th Street in Santa Monica, thinking about some topics about my life," Sean immediately revealed With a patient look, "How many times are you going to make me repeat it?"

    "You spent the night in a little deserted park on 12th Street in Santa Monica and thought about some topics about your life? Listen, you speak so smoothly, have been connected Many times, right?" Frederick suddenly became excited, "Wake up, Sean, we all know this is not true, Galen and the others can ignore it, but I won't!"

    "Then listen to me? Drive around with cocaine, then kill someone and run away?" Sean asked sharply.

    "Which woman are you with?" Frederick didn't bother him, stared at him and asked bluntly.

    "In your eyes, I am such a person?" Sean continued to ask, but did not go out.

     "Yes." The agent replied unceremoniously.

    Sean did not speak, staring at him, as if trying to see a hole in his face.

    "What are you worried about?" he said suddenly again, "Tell me, Fred, what are you worried about? Do you think I might lose the case? I think I might go to jail for a while , my career may be over, you have no high commissions and no trump card, you are going to fall from your current position? How is it possible, even if I resigned from Samsara Films and went to prison, it is still no problem to provide a few script ideas Yes, you can totally…”

    "Fuck the ace to hell!" Frederick suddenly became furious, "What did you tell me?! What did you tell me! No matter how difficult it was! Nothing can stop you from moving forward, you want to become the greatest actor! The greatest actor! Now it's just a slightly troublesome step, you can't get over it? You're going to fall?!"

    He made fists with both hands, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he seemed eager to grab his collar and question him.

    "How could I have expected such a disaster?! Anyone who encounters such a situation will be helpless." Sean immediately retorted, but his momentum was far inferior to that of Frederick.

    "No way?" The agent gritted his teeth and sneered, "Is it really powerless? We all know where you might be, and you know we know where you might be, why you Don't want to say it, is it so difficult? Is it so difficult!"

    "I said it, what else do you want me to do?!" Sean also raised his voice.

    "So you gave up? So you gave up?!" Frederick stared at him fiercely, "Who said he would never give up if he didn't try his best? Say just hold on to the present?! Sean Tang, listen to me, I helped you back then because you showed me hope! Show me **** hope! I used to think my life was over like this Now, until the age of 30, nothing has been accomplished. In the future, I will meet a few small actors and fight for a few small roles. If I am lucky, I may become popular with two or three TV actors... Until someone told me that he had to rely on his own efforts. To fight for any opportunity, he will not succumb to any coercion, even if he may regret it later."

    He looked at him like this, saying line by line: "I have seen too many young people like this, they are always full of enthusiasm and self-righteousness, always thinking that enthusiasm can fill everything, but …I believed it then! I don’t know why, I just believed it, so I got up and caught up with him and told him I would help him! And then… despite a lot of setbacks, we made it, unprecedented success, maybe off the top There is still some distance, but we have achieved what many people have not been able to do! And now, he has encountered difficulties again, unprecedented difficulties, difficulties that may destroy the previous efforts, but he told me that he had the opportunity to pass , that's it, I've done my best! Do you think I should be reconciled? Do you think I should be reconciled, Sean!"

    Seeing that the corners of Frederick's mouth were trembling, Sean opened his mouth a few times but couldn't say a word.

    "That's clear!" Frederick immediately exclaimed, "I'm your agent, Sean, they are your best friends outside, we all advance and retreat together, what is it? Inexplicable!"

    Sean finally sighed, turned and covered his forehead, but Frederick didn't stop: "Tell me, Sean, where were you that night? Even if you Don't care about your career, don't you care about your reputation? Do you plan to live under the charge of hitting someone to death, escaping, and possession of drugs in the future?"

    Sean, who didn't want to hear it, turned sideways, took a few steps to the side and held his face, but Frederick was still chasing after him: "Everyone is waiting for you, we all Waiting for you, we all believe you are innocent, you can't just take care of yourself!"

    "I am a married woman again, now you are satisfied?!" Sean finally roared out, staring at his agent's chest and panting.

    Frederick spoke again after a brief cold session: "Tell me your name, Gwyneth? Julia? Or some girl we don't know."

    "Enough, Fred, I've told you..." Sean waved his hand.

    "If you don't tell me, I will go out to investigate right now, and contact the women who are related to you one by one. You know that all the media are watching us now." Frederick said aggressively .

    "...Cate Blanchett," Sean, who looked at him, finally squeezed the name out of his teeth, "Enough, that's it."

    Speaking, he was about to go out, but after a few steps Frederick's voice rang again: "I'll go to her, I won't tell her, what did you say , I'll just tell her that I eavesdropped on your conversations or peeked at your phone, so you don't know about it..."

    Although he was stunned after hearing the name, although after Sean uttered the words "married woman", he thought of several women, but never with Connect this.

    But in just a few seconds, Frederick regained his agent's ruthless character: "Or we can reveal it and let the reporter discover it..."

    "Fred..."

    "This may affect your image, so we must have a remedy..."

    "Fred..."

    "We can't put all the blame on Blanchett, that would make us seem less real and maybe even affect the perception of the jury..."

    "Didn't you hear, I said enough! I'm done!" Sean grabbed his collar angrily and almost lifted him up.

    "You can make up for her, Sean." Frederick didn't panic, still looking into his eyes and saying in a calm tone, "You can make up for her."

    Seeing his appearance, Sean let go of his hands in frustration, turned around and put his hands on the desk to support his body, and then slammed it hard.

    "I know it's not fair to Blanchett, it will hurt her, but we have no other way." Frederick still did not stop.

    "She has two children." Sean lowered his head and said in a low voice.

    "Yes, so you can compensate her elsewhere, you can pay a fee to silence her husband or help her get children in a divorce if she still wants to continue As an actor, you can also use your contacts to help her, in fact, for actresses, this kind of thing often increases her popularity." Frederick said ruthlessly.

    "Really?" Sean turned his head suddenly and asked in a mocking tone, "Are you talking about Meg Ryan?"

    The agent was silent, then sighed: "We have no better way, Sean."

    "I can win this case," Sean interrupted, walking irritably around the room, "Even if I lose, I can appeal, and I can drag it on, Just have money."

    He looked at him: "It has been said that in this country the rich will not be punished."

    "No one can be sure what's going to happen in the future, some rules can't be applied, and your image will be ruined and everything you've built so hard will collapse, Sean." Frederick said bitterly. After persuading him, Sean, who stopped, turned his back to him and remained silent.

    "Think about us, think about everyone, is it worth it?" The agent is still working hard, "As long as you agree, I can resist everything, it won't make you embarrassed, not at all meeting."

    "No!" After a long while, Sean finally spoke again, with an indescribable determination in his tone, "I never gave her anything, I always asked her for it, I I owe her a lot, family, life, responsibilities, I made her unable to choose in the moral dilemma, but..."

    He finally turned around, his eyes were bright, with unquestionable firmness, just like when they first clashed in the cafe: "At least I can keep her dignity."

    Sean let out a long breath, stretched out his hand and pulled the collar: "I'm not a man, but..."

    This sentence was spoken in Chinese, and turned into English after looking at Frederick again: "I made a choice, and I bear the consequences!"

    Not waiting for the other party to speak again, he walked to the door, and when passing by, said very seriously: "Don't bother her, Fred."

    A very ordinary sentence, but the pressure on Frederick was far greater than before, so much that he could not speak a few times.

    "What if the police produced direct evidence and succeeded?" The unwilling voice still sounded, "You know, they can do everything."

    "Then I'll use the money..." Sean didn't stop, "Let this case become the second Simpson."

    The door closed, and after a long sigh, Frederick put his face in his hands.
