Best Actor

    The doorbell rang again, and finally, the door opened, revealing Galen Lee's face with obvious oriental ancestry.

    "Hi, Galen, can I come in?" Frederick said in a brisk tone, his chest up and his head raised as usual, but his eyes were a little erratic.

    "You're so early, Fred." Galen laughed and teased.

    "Oh, of course, after all, I have to face a big star now." The agent said with a slight smile, very formal, even Galen could see that something was wrong.

    "Are you all right, Fred?" He stepped back and looked at him suspiciously.

    Frederick raised his eyebrows, then raised his hands up, although he didn't speak, it was obvious what he meant.

    "Okay okay," Galen walked inside first, "Sean is in the living room facing the yard, doing...well, what he did yesterday and the day before yesterday."

    "Are you doing what you did yesterday and the day before yesterday?" The agent finally asked, with a hint of curiosity.

    "You'll know when you see it." Galen smiled and pointed to the room inside, then walked to the kitchen.

    The agent was a little puzzled, but he still walked to the room, and once he entered, he understood. In the huge living room, the coffee table and several sofas were covered with open newspapers and magazines, and there were many photos, including Sean's photos, and photos of generously waving to the media while walking on the red carpet. And Sean himself, sitting in the middle of the couch, wearing simple clothes, looked at this in a daze, with a blank look in his eyes.

    "Is this your way of celebrating, big star?" Frederick laughed.

    "Huh?" Sean lifted it up, and it took a while to react, "Fred?"

    "Why, you're so happy that you don't even recognize me?" The agent teased and picked up one of the newspapers, "Let me see... He's not special. Handsome, in terms of appearance, he is definitely not as good as Jude, but he has an indescribable gentle temperament, is polite but does not feel like a thousand miles away, and at the same time has a mysterious feeling. People couldn't help but want to get to know him, so I was sure at that time that he was a rising star."

    Read here. Frederick couldn't help laughing again, "It's really funny, isn't it written by a female reporter?"

    "On the red carpet that night, the guy who was helped by me and took the opportunity to ask me questions." Sean shrugged and said in a light tone.

    "Are you alright?" The agent noticed his strangeness and reached out and waved in front of him, "Is it because of excessive excitement that the brain stopped working."

    "I think so too, but he doesn't agree." Galen's voice came, and then came in from outside with a coffee pot and a cup, "He has been like this for the past two days, will The reports are spread out and then staring in a daze. You know, Pork is a feisty little thing, so after biting through a piece of paper, he's been locked upstairs since yesterday, and so does Lucy, even if he likes it sleep."

    "I'm fine," Sean cheered, his voice slightly raised, "I'm just...a little bit like a dream...it seems like I might wake up at any time."

    He let out a long sigh, and Galen threw his hands at Frederick's helpless hands, but the agent didn't make fun of it, he just brought the magazine around Sean , and then sat down silently.

    "You think it's all like a dream?" Frederick asked after a long while.

    "Yes, although I always say, my gut tells me that the movie will be good, although I have been calm before the premiere, but after these comments came out..." Sean pointed to These things around, and then let out a breath, put a hand on his forehead and gently rubbed it twice.

    Frederick was silent for a few seconds, then smiled, then slapped him on the shoulder: "This is true, Sean, and the media gives it high marks It's true, it's true that anyone who questioned you about this movie shut up, it's true that Roger Ebert gave a 4-star review, and it's true that Melanie Haas said you're the next Rivan Phoenix is ​​still real! Do you know what a high rating this is? Do you know what River Phoenix is ​​in Hollywood?! Do you know what it means to be on par with him!"

    "Drug use and early death." Sean thought for a moment, then said, "After reading Ms. Haas's comment, I went to read about him."

    The agent immediately gave him a stern look and said loudly: "They said that the entire 90s belonged to River Phoenix, if you can become the second River Phoenix Phoenix, think what they're going to do to you?"

    He suddenly became a little excited, picked up the previous newspaper and shook it: "Do you think that reporter's report is very good? I tell you, Sean, such a report will only be used in the future. More will not be less! Do you know what the box office of "Genius Ripley" was the day before yesterday? It was 7.8 million! Do you know what the box office was yesterday? It was 7.4 million! Do you know what the box office of the weekend was?

    The agent stood up abruptly, his hands clenched into fists, and his expression became more and more excited: "This is almost half of the production cost! And maybe it will even make it into this week's North American box office rankings. The top of the list! You must know that it has only been two days, it is still Christmas, and it is still a literary movie! That is to say, there is no problem with the film's breakeven, and profitability is almost certain! Look at these comments again, see Look! This movie really did win both word of mouth and the box office! You're famous, Sean, you're famous!"

    "I'm already famous?" Sean took a deep breath, his eyes brightened a lot.

    "Yes, you are famous! You are famous!" Frederick waved his arm violently, "As you said, we created a miracle, no one is as famous as you , no one! You should get up and cheer! Get up and jump! Instead of sitting there foolishly staring at open newspapers and magazines!"

    He walked back and forth in the room as he spoke, pulling his bow tie and waving his arms, the calmness before entering the door had already been thrown away, and he looked extremely excited: "That's it, we created a miracle , Haha, there will be no such miracles in the past and in the future! There will be no actors who have little acting experience, only played a small supporting role in a soap opera, but through hard work and luck, the film directed by the best director at the Oscar As the leading actor in the film, and finally the box office and word of mouth are such a miracle! We are the only ones, we will go into the history of Hollywood! Damn! I like this feeling!"

    "Calm down, Fred, calm down!" Sean stood up and raised his hands and said, the corners of his mouth slightly raised as if he wanted to laugh, "You're exaggerating."

    "Okay, it's a bit exaggerated." After gasping, Frederick took a deep breath and looked at Sean, "But... thank you, Xiao kindness."

    He has never been so serious or sincere as he is now, standing there like a statue motionless.

    "I want to thank you too, Fred, I couldn't have done it without you," Sean looked at him with the same serious and sincere look, "This The honor belongs to both of us."

    Speaking, he stepped forward and hugged him gently, then grabbed a stack of newspapers and threw them to the ceiling with a laugh: "Yes, I'm a big star now!"

    "Yes, you are already a big star, a real big star." Frederick also laughed and grabbed the magazine on the sofa and threw it to the ceiling.

    "This is not a dream!"

    "It's not a dream!"

    "It's true!"

    "It's true!"

    "Wow!"

    "Yeah!"

    The two of them seemed to be insane. In laughter, they kept throwing the newspapers and magazines placed in the room to the ceiling, falling and throwing up, falling and throwing Go up, like a carnival.

    It's okay, just cheer. Garen, who was sitting next to him, smiled, then sighed with regret for not being able to join, and then twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly. It won't be you who will clean up the room anyway.

    Frederick was right, most of the media coverage for the first two days was still focused on the movie "The Genius Ripley", but starting Monday, the reporters' attention It was once again transferred to the guy who had an affair with Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow. A young man with no acting experience, he only played a minor supporting role in a sitcom in less than a year, but he won the leading role in an A-level director's work, and achieved a double harvest of box office reputation. If Saying this is not worth digging up the news, so what is it?

    In particular, Ms. Melanie Haas still said in her own comments that he may become the next River Phoenix, how could the media not focus on him. You know, River Phoenix used to be the youngest Venetian actor. He is very handsome and his acting skills are quite good. When he was 20 years old, he was highly praised. Many people think that if he hadn't died suddenly due to a drug overdose in 1993, he must have achieved greater achievements, so some media said that the entire 90s belonged to him, quite a few decades ago James Dean's feeling.

    To this day, many fans still miss him. Ms. Haas compared such a character to Sean, no doubt very optimistic about him, and also created an excellent topic for the media. When the film review first came out, a reporter asked Joaquin Phoenix, the younger brother of River Phoenix, what he thought.

    "I don't know the actor you're talking about, and I don't think anyone can surpass Rui Fan." This is what Joaquin answered, which can be said to be quite rude.

    Understandable, after all, that is his brother, and he is also an actor, and he is also trying to get out of the shadow of having an excellent or even materialized brother, now emerging A guy who is said to be comparable to his brother, even if it is only possible in the future, he will not be happy.

    Of course, the media were very happy, and there were reports such as "Joaquin Phoenix says Sean Tang is not worth mentioning".

      So, in this case, some things are not so easy to fool past.
