Sean had no intention of discussing these social issues. The main purpose of this question was to probe since he and Frederick had only known each other for a few hours. So, he wanted to know what kind of person this guy was.

"There will be one soon," Frederick shrugged. "I've been in this business for seven or eight years, working hand in hand with the founders since ICM. It's only a matter of time before I have my own office."

As he spoke, he pointed at the chair in front of him and leaned against the table. "Sit down."

"Sleek and observant, but somewhat dissatisfied with the current situation?" Sean muttered in his heart. Frederick seemed to have guessed the reason for his question, but his answer was very natural. He did not seem to care too much, but his tone was slightly off. Sean was still very confident in his observation skills.

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

"Please call me Sean."

"Okay, Sean. It is right to choose to work hard. We are different from ICM, CCA, and WA. We are full of vitality..." With just a few words, Frederick coordinated with his hand gestures and sketched out the image of a high-profile company. A manager's eloquence was indeed not bad.

"Although we have only met a few times, I think you are a promising candidate. Your performance at the bank was eye-catching. To put it simply, the actors need to show the emotions that the script and director need to show to the audience through the performance. So, I wanted to ask you If you had any experience in acting at that time?" Frederick asked.

"Well, if you include the drama performance in junior high school, then I should have some," Sean replied. Seeing that he seemed a little disappointed, he immediately added, "I spent six years in both Sun Franlisco Frentas Junior High School and Fitzmany High School. The two theatrical societies of these two schools were quite famous in Sun Franlisco. Last year, I won second place in the international drama festival held by the University of Nuraska–Lancon. The modern version of "Leo and Ruliet" was the work of Fitzmay High School, and I played Timotee in it."

In any case, Sean had lived in another identity for twenty years, so he was very talented in acting, and he knew better than anyone what it felt like to become another person completely. Even though he had participated in various club activities in junior high school, played the guitar in a band, acted as the main singer, and even was the basketball guard, the best thing he did was play a stage play.

This result made Frederick finally nod. "Very good, then... Wait, last year?"

He suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief. "In that case."

"I am 18 years old this year." Sean shrugged.

Frederick opened was shocked for a long time before he raised his hands and laughed, "Well, there is no need to ask questions like whether you have participated in a performance training course... God, you are only 18 years old. I always thought you should be at least 25 years old."

"Maybe it's because I look more mature?" Sean smiled and shrugged.

"I don't know. Perhaps it's because of your temperament." The agent stared at him for a few seconds. "But you look very photogenic. The camera captures everything. One may look great to shoot from a certain angle, but they will look terrible from other angles. Those who can look well in most of the shooting angles are known as photogenic."

"Oh?" Sean found it very interesting as it was his first time hearing about this.

"Of course, I only judge it based on experience. We will only know how it turns out when we face the camera," Frederick said, "But your appearance is very attractive. You are not as handsome as Tory Craz nor as straight and upright as Tory Banks. You are very special, especially your eyes."

"Wow, for you to make such a comparison, it seems that I should say I am honored," Sean said half-jokingly, but at the same time, he felt a little proud of himself.

Although he was not particularly handsome in this life, his facial features were still unusual because of his mixed blood, especially his black eyes, which were very beautiful. It should be known that most ordinary black eyes were actually brown or dark brown. His black eyes, which were extremely bright like the two black gems, were rare. It was also because of this that he was successful in some aspects.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore," Frederick laughed. He pulled out some forms from the file on the table and handed them to Sean. "Now we have a preliminary meeting. You need to fill out a few forms. Please be as detailed as possible. This way, I can choose suitable roles for you based on these. In addition, you'd better find a professional photographer to take a few modeling pictures for you. It should be in black and white and colored."

Then he took out a few more documents. "This is a contract. The contract for newcomers is almost the same. If you have any questions, you can ask a lawyer. In addition, my personal advice for you is that if you have spare time, you might as well read more books related to actors or participate in short-term performance training. Also, it is best to join a union. AAU, Antasey's Actor's Union and ATBA, Antasey TV and Broadcast Acts Union. You can join any one of them. Join both if possible. With the support of the union, you will have more opportunities."

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

At this point, he finally paused for a moment but immediately asked, "Do you have a phone?"

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

"Alright, then I only have one request. When I page you, please reply immediately," Frederick continued, "Many times, opportunities fleet instantly."

"I know, but... before that... I have a question," Sean asked as he scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed. "If I find a lawyer to inquire about the contract, participate in the performance training, and join the union... there's a fee to pay, right?"

"Of course." Frederick was confused.

"Well... it's like this. I am currently on the verge of bankruptcy." Sean looked at him as calmly as he could.

In the exterior shooting location of Unity Studios, a crew was preparing to shoot here. Apart from the lead and director, everyone was busy. A few director assistants waved their arms and commanded loudly.

"Hey, the two over there. Yeah, you guys. Go over there and help move the things. The filming will start in ten minutes!" One of the assistants yelled at the two young men standing under several spotlights.

"Alright, we'll go right away." One of them immediately replied and pulled the other one, who was somewhat unhappy.

"We had just helped the prop director tidy up the things. Now, we just rested for a few minutes, and we are going to move things again. extras have human rights, right?" The other person complained in a low voice.

"As you said, we are extras. Sean, these are the job of extras. You will get used to it soon." The guy patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"So, you're already used to it, Keith?" Sean asked after a sigh.

"Once you get used to it, you will have a chance." Keith shrugged. "I want to be a real actor with real lines and screen time. Not just a background."

"You will, buddy." Sean smiled and continued, "Before that, we should help move these things away first."

The two laughed and began to move things. After confessing to Frederick that he had no money now, Sean Thomas became a extra. Simply put, he was a cameo!

"Come here. Everyone, come to me." When the director spoke, most of the people on set came over and formed a circle, surrounding him in the center.

"Although this kind of conversation has been going on for a long time, sometimes even every day, and some might be impatient. But I still want to emphasize that this is an excellent TV drama, and we are a team, so everyone should show professional spirit, even if you are just a extra..." The director then began to preach.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties. His ability... Well, Sean could not tell if he was good or bad. There was no TV in the apartment. He was too lazy to go to the bar or somewhere else to watch this TV drama he participated in.

But to be able to direct five or six episodes in a row, it should be said that he was not bad since the director of the TV series was usually not fixed. However, he always liked to give speeches, just as he himself said, there are such speeches daily.

Sean stood at the outermost edge every time, unlike Keith Vincent, who was Sean's friend after Sean became a extra and was three years older than him. Keith always squeezed to the front. According to Keith himself, he had been in Holliewood for more than two years and spent most of his time as a cameo. His biggest dream was to have a lot of lines and then strive for more opportunities until he became famous.

In this regard, Sean had an encouraging attitude. If there was any inheritance left for him in his previous life, besides the unpredictable advantage of foresight, it was tenacity. A Chinese person's tenacity.

Once he was determined to do something, he would go all out, no matter how great the obstacles were. He would give it everything, or he would never give up.

It was not that there were no tough people in other places, but there was no doubt that, on average, Chinese people were the most persistent.

Because of this, in his previous life, he would walk out of that circle, step by step. And also because of this, he now gained a 600-dollar check at the hardest time.

Before Sean went to look for Frederick, he worked as a temporary worker in a store for a week. The boss was a veteran. He was full of curse words, and he never stopped cursing anyone. Because Sean came from Sun Franlisco, sissy became his code name. How much did this old man hate homosexuality?

Several young people who went with him ran away halfway. They could not fight this old man, and he was a veteran. Once, a guy who had quit halfway wanted to teach the old man a lesson but was put to the ground single-handedly. As for suing him for personal attacks, who would have the time and money to sue this old man?

Sean also gave up and even planned to throw a coin at noon that day to decide whether he should persevere or not. However, the tenacity in his heart that refused to admit defeat finally made him choose to continue. He did not expect that, in the end, the old man would give him 600 dollars. The reason was that everyone else had run away and he could not give it to them.

Well, although that old man had a foul mouth, he was quite a nice man. So, Sean always had a good impression of people who were used to being persistent.

But 600 dollars was just a drop in the bucket. He ultimately underestimated the difficulty of living in a new city. The experience from his previous life could not help much. After four months, even though he had already worked hard, he still fell to a very low point.

The situation did not shake his will, but the most realistic thing is that he urgently needed a job. Therefore, he finally found Frederick and became a temporary actor. This was great as it was highly consistent with his requirements. It was stable, and his salary was good. Plus, he had plenty of free time, so he could have enough time to think about what to do in the future.
