Best Actor

    "We all know that you starred in "The Genius Ripley", which was released more than a week ago on Christmas and was very well received at the box office," Reno quickly shifted the topic to the film "This is your debut, right?"

    "Yes, this is the first movie I starred in, and I have to say, it's been a wonderful and shocking journey." Sean nodded, "It's like going to Oz."

    "It seems that you like this movie very much, do you think you are similar to the protagonist?" Reno blinked and asked maliciously.

     "Don't answer from the front." At this time, Leyson's voice came from the earplugs.

    “Everyone has something in common with Ripley, everyone will find some shadow in him more or less, the difference is that we can control our desires. So, I think every Everyone should go and have a look, find their own shadow and tell themselves what to do." Sean answered after thinking about it, which immediately caused a burst of applause.

     "Excellent answer, this is probably the reason why Director Minghella chose you as the male lead." Reno laughed.

    "Frankly, I don't know," Sean made a sincere look, "I just don't think about anything, try to figure out the character as best I can, read the original novel, and then Show it to the director at the audition. You know, I had nothing at the time, and working hard was the only thing I could do."

    "Wow, that's an exciting answer, so let's see what the director has to say." Leno raised his hand with a smile and made a gesture of invitation.

    If the show has already aired, the audience in front of the TV will see a video of Anthony Minghella at this time, a video of his evaluation of Sean. As for the filming site, I usually stop and rest for two minutes. Talk shows are similar to filming and TV shooting. Many programs are arranged, and what I see on TV has been edited.

    The host and the guest will communicate with each other before to get to know each other's character a little bit, and the guest's agent will also communicate with the film crew to ask which topics can be talked about, which topics can't be talked about, and which ones To what extent the topic is appropriate, once it crosses the line, it must be cut off when it is officially broadcast. Even so, it cannot be said that everything is arranged. Although the host will get a piece of paper with a topic that cannot be talked about, he will also seize the opportunity to take advantage of the topic from time to time. At this time, it depends on the adaptability of the guests. .

    So when the TV is broadcasting some video clips or advertising, the recording site will take a break for a while. Of course, this is not always the case. After all, there are many audiences at the scene. From time to time, a TV will be found to broadcast the video live, and today it belongs to the latter.

    "There is no doubt that Sean is a great actor and I did have a fair amount of pressure to use him, but as the filming went on, it turned out that I was right." On TV Minghella said this to the camera, and when you look at the background, you can see that it was extracted from the tidbits of "The Genius Ripley".

    "This is a very high evaluation." After the broadcast, Reynolds, who was signaled by the photographer, said so.

    "Director Minghella has taught me a lot, and I am very grateful to him," Sean, who was prompted by Leyson, said immediately in an emotional tone, "Thanks for his guidance and for his tolerance, without him support, I will not be sitting here today."

    "Speaking of which, we've all heard an interesting piece of news in the media recently," Reynolds said suddenly, and there is no doubt that the main part of today's program is here, "It is said that you are only now 19?"

    "Yes." Sean nodded and admitted immediately, and the audience also let out a burst of exclamation.

    "And it was said that when you went to audition and got involved, you were actually 18?" Leno continued.

    "Yes." Sean admitted again, and then took the initiative, "I know what you want to ask, Jay, the fact is that I changed my age before going to the audition, I changed 18 to 23."

    The audience exclaimed again, and Reynolds eyes widened: "You mean, you changed your age to participate in the audition for "Genius Ripley"?"

    "Yes." Sean shrugged, "I had to."

    "No one noticed?" Leno continued to ask.

    "No, and after finishing the filming of "The Genius Ripley", I continued to use this age to participate in another film, and no one saw it." Sean changed before relying on The casual image on the chair, sitting up straight with waist and chest raised, gives a feeling of giving up on me.

    "This is incredible. It would be unbelievable if one person didn't find out, but everyone didn't." Reynolds continued.

    "This is a long topic, Jay," Sean said, and then a public voice came through the earphones: "Describe in a confident enough tone."

    "I have been a little precocious since I was a child. Although I have some dyslexia, it did not prevent me from reading a lot of books. When my neighbors and my parents' friends mentioned me, they always said I'm not like a kid. So when I started playing roles in the school troupe after high school, I was often assigned some mature roles because they thought I was a good fit. Our school troupe is relatively small in San Francisco Famous, I have won awards in many competitions, and I have accumulated a lot of experience in acting because of this. I am experienced and good at learning, so after I came to Hollywood and became an actor, I could adapt quickly.

    However, after playing a small supporting role in "Friends" and finally becoming a full-fledged actor, I suddenly found that I couldn't find a job, or the job I wanted. Whenever I meet the role I want, I am confident that I can play a good role, but the other party chooses to reject it just because of my age. Age to audition for The Genius Ripley. What I didn't expect was that it was actually chosen by Director Minghella, and no one noticed it from beginning to end. I also worked harder because of the accident. As I said before, this is the only thing I can do. The director trusts me, and of course I have to live up to his trust. Now it looks like I'm doing pretty well, right? "

    Sean spread his hands, looking very candid.

    "Indeed, I read a lot of comments, and they all praised you for being perfect." Reno nodded approvingly.

    "Of course, I did deceive a lot of people, even if it wasn't my intention." Sean then looked at the camera, then at the three people standing near the camera, Galen clenched his fists Refueling, Frederick was a little nervous with his arms crossed. Although Leyson was serious, he was the most relaxed of them all.

    "So I want to apologize to them, sincerely." He then said the rest.

    In fact, many people didn't realize that it was because of their own negligence, and Frederick's work was not so perfect. For example, as long as someone asked the "Friends" crew, they would definitely find out Sean's actual age. You can even find a way to check his driver's license, or ask for a social welfare number, which can achieve the goal. It's a pity that no one has ever done this. Even the "New York Post" sent someone to San Francisco to find out. This is the so-called dark under the lights.

    But this is definitely not suitable to say in this situation, Sean came to the show to show his image, not to offend others.

    "I don't think they would mind." Reynolds gave him a little praise, and now Sean is indeed a rising star.

    "Okay, come back right now and continue the conversation with Sean Tang, the 19-year-old starring in "The Genius Ripley"." He then said to the camera, without any Doubt, next is the advertising time during the broadcast, and the scene can rest for a few minutes.

      to the end. Then cooperate with Renault to say a few one-liners to liven up the atmosphere at the scene, and it is almost over.

    Basically, the main purpose has been achieved, at least according to the reaction of the audience, their senses of Sean are not bad.

    This was also proved after the program was broadcast the next day. Although it was recorded for more than 20 minutes, the actual broadcast time was only 10 minutes, but people were still in an uproar over the content. This 19-year-old actually auditioned after changing his age, and got the role, and no one found out until the release? ! This is so amazing.

    Unsurprisingly, some reporters immediately raised the issue of integrity, but more expressed their support, believing that this was not his intention, and also sincerely apologized. Besides, Sean in the talk show is very generous, smart and interesting. He doesn't have the impetuous feeling of young actors. As long as he is not prejudiced, he will be considered to be in his early twenties.

    NBC later conducted a survey, randomly sampling 500 passers-by all over the United States, playing the first half of the talk show and asking them how old the guests looked. As a result, among several age groups, up to 80% of those who chose 25 chose 25, while only 3% chose 19. Coupled with the fact that his performance in "The Genius Ripley" has been affirmed by a considerable number of people, this is a blatantly malicious accusation that does not do much at all.

    Then, the Golden Globe Awards also came to join in the fun at this time. The second day after the talk show was broadcast, the nomination list for the 57th Golden Globe Awards (note) was released, and Sean's name suddenly appeared in Best Actor in a Drama Movie. Although the reputation of the Golden Globe Awards is not as good as that of the Oscars, it is considered to be at the forefront of several major film awards in North America. Being nominated for the Golden Globe Awards is enough to illustrate the overall attitude of the entertainment industry.

      In the third week after its release—actually a little more than two weeks at most—Rain Weekend received a box office of 11.27 million and barely counterattacked the 11.18 million weekend box office of "Little Rat", topping the North American weekend box office chart for the first time.
