012 The final word
The night in New York is already deep, but the brightly lit Manhattan Island shows no sign of silence. The noise and noise floating in the air make the restlessness of summer more intense. Groups of young people on the streets are enjoying themselves. Enjoy the wantonness and publicity of youth.
Pushing open the side door, Renly walked to the street first, then pulled the door handle. After Tom and Steven came out, he closed the door again, "Sorry, the lounge is full, I'm not sure. Are you used to talking on the street? I hope it won't be too rude..”
Renly's humble, polite but humorous words successfully made Tom chuckle, "I don't mind that's not the point, as long as you don't mind, that's fine..”
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, "I thought this conversation was because of my brief absence just now, which caused you to be dissatisfied with the service. But now it seems that my guess was wrong..”
Tom laughed twice, turned around and looked at Steven, and handed over the initiative of the conversation..
“Cough." Steven cleared his throat, attracting Renly's gaze, "We want to formally extend the invitation, tell you the news in person, and welcome you to become a member of the 'Pacific War' crew." Now that the decision has been made. , Steven didn’t hesitate any more and made his intention to come very straightforward..
However, there is a mystery hidden in the words, conveying their formality and respect in an understatement, as if giving Renly the highest treatment - two top gods in the Hollywood pyramid appeared in person, which is indeed an honor for any actor. .Inadvertently, it made Renly burst into tears of gratitude. It is estimated that no newcomer would not be moved by this..
If Renly hadn't been a man of two generations and had seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, he would have been unavoidable at this time; but Renly knew that Tom and Steven obviously didn't come just for him - there was a small altercation between them when ordering food. It was a misunderstanding. It was just that in the past few hours, some accident happened that made them change their minds. However, that was not important to Renly. What was important was that he got the role.！
The ecstasy swept over in an instant, like a tornado from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and the numbness set off a stormy wave in the blood vessels..
He did it, he really did it, he really relied on his own strength to win the first role in his life, and he really embarked on the path of being an actor! After rebirth, all the hesitation, all confusion, and all uncertainty disappeared at this moment. His efforts, his persistence, and his hard work finally paid off. Although this was only a small step, it was a huge step. For the first time in his life, he had truly achieved a goal according to his own ideas. The joy was so overwhelming that he was a little out of control..
He clenched his fist, and then clenched his fist again. The tightly contracted fist tightly held all the excitement, excitement, joy, joy and happiness in his hand..
“Are you serious? "Renly's voice couldn't help but tremble a little. He coughed twice in embarrassment, "I thought we still need to wait for the news..”
Steven shrugged, "It's just an advance news now. In the next two days, the news will be notified to each actor's agent one after another. Just wait and join the crew.".”
“Uh...I don't have an agent for the time being." Renly arrived in New York less than three months ago and is slowly getting familiar with life here..
Although he was approached by four or five agents when he was performing on Off-Broadway, in Renly's view, two of them were liars, two of them only had a lot of glamor but no real strength, and only one looked good. Okay, he is not in a hurry for the time being. For such an important partner as an agent, it is better to be in short supply than in vain..
“"Pacific War" is an open audition. They posted a recruitment information in the Screen Actors Guild of America. Anyone who meets the conditions can participate. This is Renly's first official audition. First of all, although it is only a TV series and not a movie, The opportunity is indeed rare; secondly, Renly also hopes to test the waters and at least understand how the film industry works..
Therefore, when I was told to "wait for notification" at the end of the afternoon audition, I was a little disappointed, but not too depressed. I didn't expect that things would turn around now..
“No agent? Don't worry, the Screen Actors Guild will send out an agent." Steven waved his hand. It is very common for new actors to not have an agent. The American entertainment industry has matured and there will naturally be corresponding solutions. "We will contact the actors directly. The union will send an agent to help you handle the follow-up matters..”
“If you have any requirements for film remuneration, you can mention it to the public agent assigned to you by the Screen Actors Guild, and then we will discuss it." Tom, who was standing next to him, suddenly added. Steven glanced at Tom, with speechlessness in his eyes. The look on his face made Renly smile..
Tom is the president of the Screen Actors Guild. He constantly works for the interests of actors and is highly respected among actors. In this regard, there is a huge difference between Tom and Steven, who is a producer..
“I believe HBO will give me a reasonable number." Lan Li said openly, making the two bosses look sideways again, and then couldn't help but reveal a smile..
As a new actor, Renly actually doesn't have much leverage in fighting for the pay; what's more, for Renly, "Pacific War" is his first official performance in front of the camera, and his acting skills are what he needs to focus on. focus.
After informing Renly that the task was completed, Steven turned around and was about to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked again casually, "When you audition this afternoon, are there any roles you hope to play?？”
In the recruitment information of the Screen Actors Guild, there is a brief introduction to the four core roles, which will help narrow the choice of actors. However, Eugene, who was pre-determined, is not on the list of roles. Steven is just curious, which one is it? The role prompted Renly to choose the afternoon show.
“No." Renly's answer was unexpected, "I just wanted to give it a try. However, the clips I prepared in advance were not used." The rest of the words were not continued. Renly just looked at Tom, and it was clear at a glance. Got it.
Tom shrugged innocently, expressing his innocence, "Don't worry, you will definitely be useful in the future..”
Steven paused for a moment, and then he was relieved. Maybe, this is fate. One accident after another led to the replacement of Joseph, who was originally scheduled to be played, and Renly. In this case, let's see where fate will lead them. He Fang. Until this moment, Steven had completely accepted Renly's role as Eugene..
“So, which role did I end up getting? "Renly asked curiously.
Tom and Steven exchanged a look, and finally Steven gave the answer, "Eugene.”
Renly secretly clenched his fists. The difficult challenges and exciting opportunities made his adrenaline burst out. There is no doubt that Eugene is the most difficult performer in "Pacific War", which also means that Renly's first The first actual battle will usher in a severe test. But he is not timid at all, not even nervous. Excited emotions bloom like fireworks in the depths of his pupils..
After seeing off Tom and Steven, Renly returned to the backstage of the bar. Jason's performance had ended at this time. Jason walked off the stage to communicate with the audience up close. The scene was not crowded and was harmonious. The scene has a different flavor.
Stanley, who was always paying attention to the movement at the door, was the first to spot Renly, and he took two steps to meet him, but before he could finish speaking, Neal rushed over and asked first, "How are you? How is it? What do they want from you?？”
Renly deliberately kept it secret and didn't answer. He looked at Neal and Stanley quietly. The two of them couldn't help but hold their breath, and their whole body movements immediately stopped. Then Renly said, "I got the role.".”
A simple sentence, but it was as important as a thousand blows. The two people in front of them were stunned, and then Neil raised his head and laughed, "Haha, I know it, I know it!" Neil jumped up and down, shouting , "They are discerning! I knew it！”
Stanley did not lose his composure, but he also showed a big smile and gave Renly a big hug, "Congratulations, congratulations! Although I knew it was only a matter of time before you became a top star, I didn't expect everything to happen so quickly. I still I'm thinking of letting you stay here for a few more months..”
Renly laughed dumbly, "Isn't it too early to say this? You have to know that there are not even 100,000 but 80,000 second-tier actors who can't find jobs in the United States. What's more, I haven't even met the third-tier actors." Benefit With his Off-Broadway performances in the past few months, he can barely be regarded as an 11th- or 12th-tier amateur actor..
Such a witty tone made Stanley's smile grow brighter, "I'm starting to worry now that I won't be able to find such excellent cheap labor in the future. You must know that every time you come on stage to save the scene, the audience's response is exceptionally good. Even more popular than many professional musicians.”
“That's because they all know my face." Renly said with a smile..
Stanley didn't buy it at all, "I'm serious. I know that you are just playing music, and being an actor is your source of motivation. But believe me, you are an excellent performer." Stanley is rare. Seriously, he said seriously, "In order to make up for the loss of the bar, you should record those songs as singles and give me all the proceeds.".”
“Haha." Renly was amused and laughed, and his mind couldn't help but think of Tom's words before leaving, "Thank you for your performance just now, I haven't felt real music for a long time", and then Tom asked I repeated the name of the song twice in a low voice before turning around and leaving..
“You can cross your fingers and pray silently, maybe it will come true one day in the future." Renly said jokingly, but his words were obviously not serious, leaving Stanley speechless for a while, and pointed to the busy scene in the bar, and the people who were doing it. Niall shared Renly's good news with the other waiters, "I should go help if we still want to get off work on time.".”
