"Don't forget, Fred. Your buddy is just a newcomer. This price is enough for a newcomer."

"Come on, Eric. This price of yours is simply for beggars."

"Don't be so greedy, Fred. Greed is a sin."

"Let the sin go to hell. I only know that 'Everybody Likes Raymond' is currently the best TV series on SBS. The commercial fee for each episode is several million, and they are not willing to spend more money to hire an urgently needed actor."

...

Listening to the sounds of argument coming from the cart, Sean, who was standing outside, shook his head in amusement. He simply walked a little further away and left everything to his agent to handle.

Looking around, most of the crew members were in the studio because they were shooting a scene drama. This made him feel a lot more relaxed. Thinking back to when Eric, the scriptwriter and producer of this TV series, asked him to call his agent over, the surrounding extras looked at him with different gazes. Sean couldn't help but want to laugh bitterly.

But then again, they were the ones who did not understand Vertalian. It seemed that if he had a skill, it should be relatively easy to break through the situation. Thinking of this, Sean could not help but recall his high school past, but he quickly sighed and threw these out of his mind.

Soon, the door was opened. Mr. Reese and Frederick walked out one after another.

"Kid, you have a good agent. You better have the qualifications to get this pay." Eric patted him on the shoulder and strode into the studio without waiting for an answer.

"You don't have many scenes, but it is very important. There is only one episode, so the reward is 3000 dollars," Frederick said, "I have to say, you are lucky, Sean."

"Just luck?" Sean raised his eyebrows and asked with a hint of pride in his smile.

"Fine, you did well." Frederick did not take it to heart. "But this is only the beginning. I have dealt with Eric Reese before. He is not easily satisfied."

"I know. Since I finally got a role, I will definitely do my best." Sean put away his smile and nodded, then strode into the studio.

"Sean!" Frederick suddenly stopped him. He frowned and opened his mouth. He seemed to want to say something, but he just waved his hand in the end. "You can do it!"

"Thank you," Sean replied. His impression of his agent had changed a little compared to before.

When he returned to the studio, the crew had already begun to get busy under Eric's urging. After seeing Sean come in, the other party threw over the script.

"You have an hour to familiarize yourself with the script. Kid, you better show your strength. Although that guy Fred praised you so much, don't forget that you haven't officially signed the contract yet. So if you can't satisfy me, you'll be kicked out any time," Eric Reese said. Although he had a smile on his face, it was very nasty.

"I won't let that happen, sir." Sean shrugged indifferently, then found a place to sit down and began to flip through the script.

"Everybody Likes Raymond" was a comedy suitable for all ages. In fact, the TV dramas that could be aired on the four major public TV stations were almost all of this type.

This TV drama played by SBS had quite a good viewership rating. It could be considered one of the most successful scene comedy shows. However, it was still a bit inferior compared to MBC's signature show, "Pals." The latter was something that even Sean knew about and liked in his previous life.

It was a pity that he only remembered "Pals" after it was broadcasted. Otherwise, he might have made a profit with the script. Fine, it was a joke. In short, it was a good start for newcomers to play an important role in such a TV series, even if it was just one episode.

It was not difficult for Sean to get this role. The whole TV series was about a family that lived in New Jedo. The male protagonist, Raymond Barrett, worked in a sports news outlet, and his wife was a full-time housewife. They had three children. A four years old daughter and a pair of two years old twins.

This was a typical middle-class family with a harmonious atmosphere. Although there would occasionally be some small fights between husband and wife, it would not affect life. Therefore, the main laughing point came from the people around, such as father-in-law and, mother-in-law, neighbors. Or like Sean who needed to act as the young Vertalian soccer player, famous in NAA and accepted Raymond's interview.

It was easy to grasp. At least in Sean's opinion, Reese arranged such a role by relying on language barriers to create a comedy effect. It would be no problem if he could show the feeling of chickens speaking with ducks.

This was actually a scene drama. It was quite similar to a stage drama. There was a certain degree of exaggeration in the performance. If one could balance it nicely, they would be able to hold this role.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Just as Sean was deep in thought, a loud noise came from the studio's entrance. Looking up, Eric Reese was frowning and talking to a middle-aged man impatiently.

Soon, Reese walked over angrily and waved at him. "Come here, Sean."

He didn't elaborate, and Sean didn't ask too much. After Reese called over a few more people and followed him to the cart outside, which was the one Reese had previously negotiated with Frederick.

Then, under the other party's signal, Sean and... The person, probably the other middle-aged man's assistant, performed their lines.

The scenes were not long. The main character Raymond interviewed the main character. One questioned, and the other answered. Because of the language barrier, English was mixed with Vertalian. So the questions and answers were completely two different things. However, both of them looked serious and did not react until the end, in which they created the effect of comedy.

Sensing something, Sean tried his best to get himself into a state of mind, showing the images he imagined in words and body language. It was not bad. At least that was what he thought.

"Do you see that? This is the problem of newcomers. Although he's trying his best, there's always lacking something," The middle-aged man said after the script reading.

"Really? Why is my opinion different from yours? Remy Stevenson?" Reese did not hesitate to call him by his full name and continued, "Yes, he is a newcomer, but I don't think there is anything wrong with this performance."

"Can you not bring personal conflicts to work, Eric?" Stevenson frowned.

"You are the one who brought personal conflicts to work, aren't you?" Reese asked in a mocking tone.

"Alright, I won't argue with you. How about we let David judge?" Stevenson shrugged.

"You want David to make the decision? No problem, then let David make the judgment." Reese agreed immediately.

Then, the group of people left the cart again.

"Wait for me here," After saying to Sean, Reese sat on the special electric scooter in the studio area and headed in the direction of the office area.

Although it was a little strange, Sean still sensed a different flavor from it. Especially when he heard that the middle-aged man was the other scriptwriter and producer of "Everybody Likes Raymond," Jeremy - Stevenson. He was basically certain and could not help but feel a little uneasy.

After waiting for two whole hours, it was already afternoon. Previously, it took a lot of time for Frederick to come over to negotiate. So, the filming of the crew was almost over in two hours.

Looking at the people who left the studio, especially some extras who intentionally glanced at him with gloating eyes, the uneasiness in Sean's heart became more and more intense.

"You're still here?" When the people in the studio were getting fewer and fewer, it was obviously time to get off work, and he heard a voice.

Turning around, Sean saw the assistant who rehearsed the script with him. He had come out of the studio at some point and looked at him with a weird smile. Sean was somewhat baffled, so he remained silent and shrugged his shoulders.

"You'd better leave first. It's already off work. They usually have to argue for a few days." The other party said.

Sean could not help but sigh secretly. Now that the opportunity was in his hands, why did he encounter such a situation again? He was a little depressed and was about to get up and leave. Suddenly, he stopped. Wait!

An idea flashed across his mind. If he remembered correctly, this assistant should work for Stevenson!

"Do you want to stay here until tomorrow morning?" As if seeing his hesitation, the other party immediately urged again. But his tone carried a trace of impatience.

Apart from that, there was also a hint of arrogance hidden in his expression, which Sean disliked.

"Mr. Reese asked me to wait for him here," Sean replied.

"Then, you should just wait." This answer obviously made the other party quite unhappy. After snorting, he turned around and left without looking back. His figure seemed to say, "Idiot."

Sean frowned, but he still sat there and did not move. After more than half an hour, everyone in the studio had almost left. They were about to close the door. Then, Eric Reese, who was obviously angry, rushed back.

When he saw Sean sitting there, he was stunned. He seemed to be a little surprised but did not show too much emotion after that. He just waved his hand and said, "You can go back now, Sean. But remember to come on time tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir." Sean did not say too much, but his frown deepened. From his tone, he could tell that Eric was gnashing his teeth.

As if confirming his words, the pager rang just as he drove the car to the street. He picked it up and saw that it was his agent's phone number, Frederick.

The Lyman Cafe was located at 45 Dentree Street. Although it was located at the end of the street, there were not many cars coming and going. In addition to the moderate price, it was also a popular place in Holliewood.

Sean and Frederick met here last time, so they naturally wouldn't choose another place this time. It was just that they didn't have a pleasant conversation last time, so it was unsure what their discussion would be like this time.

"At that time, Bruce Williams was drinking water at that time and almost spat it out. Although he covered his mouth in time, a lot of it still spilled out. So everyone laughed because of his funny appearance..." Sitting under the parasol and looking at the sun that was already on the west side, Frederick talked about some interesting things. On the contrary, Sean looked uninterested.

"Well, Fred, let's get down to business. It's a little late." After this joke was over, Sean finally spoke.

The agent immediately fell silent. He looked around before finally looking at Sean. "I hope you can give up on this role."
