Sean had no intention of discussing these social issues. The purpose of his question was mainly for temptation. After all, he had only known Ferederick for a few hours, so he wanted to know what kind of person the guy in front of him was.

"It'll be there soon," Ferederick shrugged, "I've been in this business for seven or eight years, and I've been with several founders from ICM. It's only a matter of time before I can get my own office."

As he said that, he pointed to the chair in front of him and leaned against the table: "Sit down."

Sleek, very eye-catching, but seemed a little dissatisfied with the status quo? Sean was so chanting in his heart. Ferederick seemed to guess the reason for his question, but his answer was very fluent, not seeming to care too much, but his tone was a little bit - he was still very confident in his observation.

"You made a wise choice, Mr. Tang..."

"Please call me Sean."

"Okay, Sean, choosing to strive for progress is a very correct approach. We are different from ICM, CAA and WMA. We are full of vitality..." With just a few words, Frederick cooperated with gestures to outline the image of a positive company. The eloquence of the agent is indeed not bad.

"Although we have only met a few times, I think you have great potential. Your performance in the bank is really eye-catching. Simply put, what the actors have to do is convey the script and the emotions that the director needs to show to the audience through the performance, so I wanted to ask you, have you ever had a performance experience?" he asked immediately.

"Well, if you include the stage plays in junior and high school, then I should have some." Sean replied, looking a little disappointed, so he immediately added: "I spent grades 7 to 12 at Frentas Junior High School in San Francisco. The theater clubs of both schools are quite famous in San Francisco. Last year, they won the second place in the International Theatre Festival held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The modern version of "Romeo and Juliet" is a work by Fitzmacon High School, in which I played Tibert."

Anyway, Sean has lived in another identity for more than 20 years, so he is very talented in acting. He knows more than anyone else what it feels like to be another person completely. Although in junior high school, he has participated in various club activities, worked as a guitarist in orchestra, served as a lead singer, and played basketball guard, the best thing he did is to act in a stage play.

This result made Frederick finally nodded: "It's very good, so... wait, last year?!"

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and seemed to be a little disbelief: "Say that."

"I'm 18 years old this April." Sean shrugged.

Frederick opened his mouth for a while before raising his hands and laughing: "Okay, don't ask if you have ever participated in a performance training class... God, you are only 18 years old, I always thought you should be at least about 25 years old."

"Probably because I look more mature?" Sean shrugged with a smile.

"...I don't know, maybe it's because of temperament," the agent stared at him for several seconds. "But you should look photogenic - the shots are all-round. It may be great to shoot from a certain angle, but it will be bad from other angles. People who can perform well in most angles are called photogenic."

"Oh?" Shawn felt very interesting when he heard it for the first time.

"Of course, I just judged it based on experience. I only knew how to get to the camera," Frederick said, "but your appearance is very attractive, not as handsome as Tom Cruise, nor as honest as Tom Hanks, and very distinctive, especially with eyes."

"Wow, I should say I am honored by your analogy." Sean said half-jokingly, with a hint of pride in his heart.

Although he is not particularly handsome in this life, his facial features are still very savory because of his mixed race, especially his pair of black eyes, which are very beautiful. You should know that most of the ordinary black eyes are actually brown or brown, and they are extremely bright as he is as black as he is, just like very few of them have two black gems. It is precisely because of this that he is always in good condition in some aspects.

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Frederick smiled, reached out and took some forms and other things out of the documents on the table and handed them to Sean. "Now we have had a preliminary exchange. You need to fill out a few forms, please be as detailed as possible so that I can choose the right role for you based on these. In addition, you'd better find a professional photographer to take a few model photos for you, both black and white and colorful."

Then he took out a few more documents: "This is a contract, and the contracts of newcomers are almost the same. If you have any questions, you can ask a lawyer for inquiries. In addition, I suggest that if you have extra time, you might as well read more books related to actors, or participate in a short-term performance training. Also, it is best to join the union, SAG (American Actors Union) and AFTRA (American Television and Radio Actors Federation) no matter which one is OK. If you can, both will join, and if you have union support, there will be more opportunities."

He finally paused for a moment when he said this, but immediately asked, "Do you have a cell phone?"

"No, I only have a pager." Sean patted his waist.

"Okay, then I only have one request. Please reply as soon as I call you." Frederick continued, "Many times, opportunities are fleeting."

"I got it, but... before that... I have a question," Sean grabbed his head, as if he was embarrassed, "I have to pay the fee when asking a lawyer to question the contract, attend performance training, and join the guild... right?"

"Of course." Ferederick was a little puzzled.

"Well... that's right, I'm on the verge of bankruptcy." Sean tried to look at the other person with a calm expression.

At the location of Universal Studios, a crew is preparing to shoot here. Except for the starring and director, everyone is busy, and several director assistants are even waving their arms and directing loudly.

"Hey, the two over there are you, you guys, go there to help move things, and the shooting will start in ten minutes!" One of the assistants shouted to the two young men standing in the spotlight.

"Okay, go right away." One of them answered immediately and pulled the other one with a little unhappy attitude.

"We just sorted out things for the props teacher. We only had a few minutes to rest and we were going to move things again. The extras are also humane, right?" Another complained in a low voice.

"You said too, we are extras, Sean, extras do this, you will get used to it soon." The first one smiled and patted his shoulder.

"So, you're used to it, Coman?" Sean asked after sighing.

"If you get used to it, you will have a chance." Koeman shrugged, "I want to be a real actor, with lines, lenses, not just a background."

"You can, man." Sean smiled, "Ignore before that, let's help move these things away first."

The two of them laughed and started to move things. After confessing to Frederick that they had basically no money now, Sean Tang became an extra, to put it simply - a supporting actor!

"Come here, everyone comes to me." With the director's voice, most people on the set walked over and formed a circle to surround him in the center.

"Although such conversations have lasted for a long time, sometimes even every day, and some people may be impatient. But I still want to emphasize that this is an excellent TV series, and we are a team, so everyone should show their professionalism, even if you are just an extra..." The director immediately began to preach.

He is a middle-aged man in his 40s, and his ability... Well, Sean can't tell whether it's good or bad. There is no TV in the apartment, and he is too lazy to go to a bar or elsewhere to watch this TV series with his own participation.

However, being able to direct five or six episodes in a row - the director of a TV series is usually not fixed - it should be said that it is not bad, but he always likes to deliver mobilization preaches. As he himself said, such preaches sometimes come every day.

Sean always stands at the outermost side, unlike Koeman Vincent, who met an ordinary friend on the crew after becoming an extra, and is three years older than him - always squeezed in the front. According to Koeman himself, he has been in Hollywood for more than two years and has been playing supporting roles for most of his time. His biggest dream is to have a role with many lines and then fight for more opportunities until he becomes famous.

Sean basically encouraged this. If there was any legacy left to him in his previous life, besides the unpredictable advantage of the prophet, it was tenacity, the tenacity of being a Chinese.

Once you make up your mind to do anything, you must do your best. No matter how big the obstacles or difficulties are, you will never give up unless you try your best.

It’s not that there are no tough people elsewhere, but there is no doubt that on average, the Chinese are indeed the best among them.

It is precisely because of this that he came out step by step in that environment in his previous life. Because of this, he has now received a check of $600 in the most embarrassing moment.

Before going to find Frederick, he worked as a temporary worker in a grocery store for a week. The boss was a Vietnam War veteran, full of swearing and never stopped cursing. Just because Sean came from San Francisco, sissy became his code name. How much does this old man hate homosexuality?

Several young people who went together ran away halfway and couldn't beat this kind of old man. The other party was a veteran. A guy who quit halfway and wanted to teach him a lesson, but he put one hand on the ground. As for prosecuting others for personal attacks, don't joke, who has the energy and money to sue this old man?

Sean also didn't want to do it at one time, and even planned to toss a coin at noon that day to decide whether to stick to it, but his unyielding tenacity finally made him choose to continue. Unexpectedly, the old man gave him $600 in the end, because everyone else ran away and couldn't give it to them.

Well, although that old man had a stinky mouth, his essence was still good, so Sean always had a good impression of those who were used to sticking to it.

But $600 is just a drop in the bucket. After all, he underestimated the difficulty of living alone in a strange city, and his previous experience could not help much. After four months, even though he had worked very hard, he still fell to a very embarrassing situation.
