003 Competition is fierce
“Please stop in front of the theater.”
Renly put back his chaotic thoughts and said to the taxi driver. After the car stopped safely, he paid the fare and Renly walked quickly..
Looking at the huge team in the theater hall in front of him, Renly couldn't help but stop slightly. As George said, there are countless people in the world who want to be actors, but only very few can truly succeed. This is A road full of thorns, a road with an uncertain future, a road where success may not be possible even if a moth flies into the flame and is shattered to pieces..
Looking up, the cloudless sky is crystal clear, and the golden sunlight penetrates the baby blue sky without any hindrance. Even the towering and densely forested steel forest on Manhattan Island in New York cannot stop the restlessness. The heat blooms proudly on the solid earth, making people dizzy.
The irritable mood slowly calmed down with a long exhalation. He would make good use of this second life. Renly exhaled a long breath, put all his thoughts aside, and strode into the hall. , stand at the end of the line and join the queue.
Rami Malek tugged on his collar, trying to catch more fresh air and relieve the nervousness and anxiety in his chest, but he soon discovered that this was in vain..
The roar of the engine came from the window facing the street, the noisy shouts of passers-by, and the deafening sound of street performances at the intersection could be faintly heard... Restlessness, countless restlessness, swarming restlessness, like a dam releasing water Generally vented from the vents, the dust dancing under the sun seemed to be sucked into the hurricane, launching a violent and violent riot..
All this was in sharp contrast to the silence in the hall, which was suffocating..
Lamy couldn't help but take a deep breath again. His lungs were roaring like bellows, but it was of no avail. The oxygen absorbed seemed not enough to maintain the operation of his brain. He felt like he was about to pass out..
Today is the fifth and last day of auditions for actors in the TV series "Pacific War".
Although "Pacific War" is just a TV series, it can definitely be said to be the opportunity that every new actor dreams of - a brother series of the classic "Band of Brothers" produced by HBO TV, the most expensive series in history, and directed by Tom -Tom-Hanks and Steven-Spielberg jointly serve as producers...Every factor highlights the importance of this series, which can almost be said to be a certainty." Works that are destined to succeed".
Similar to "Band of Brothers", "War in the Pacific" abandoned long-established actors and instead cast a large number of newcomers, third- or fourth-tier actors. Taking "Band of Brothers" as a reference, there are at least more than a hundred characters in the play. The number of core actors performing lines reaches double digits. This not only means a God-given opportunity, and every actor will win a fair opportunity; it also means more intense competition, perhaps one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand..
Across the entire North American continent, there are more than 400,000 actors registered in the union, and less than 10% of them can find regular jobs. What's more, the "Pacific War" is such an excellent opportunity that no one is willing to miss it. .Lami is no exception.
He is twenty-eight years old. He has been working hard in Hollywood for nine years. He has even appeared in commercial masterpieces such as "Night at the Museum", but his career still has not improved much. Now, he needs It is a breakthrough, a breakthrough for the cause to progress. He hopes that the "Pacific War" can become this step.
Nervous to the extreme, Lamy couldn't help but start shaking his legs. He knew this was a bad habit, but he just couldn't stop himself. Such unconscious little movements could distract him and prevent him from suffocating himself to death..
“"Pa", there was a gentle tap on the shoulder, Lamy's muscles tensed up instantly, he turned around suddenly and took half a step back, like an overly frightened rabbit..
Immediately, Lamy realized that he was so nervous that he overreacted. Seeing the embarrassed jerkiness at the corner of the other person's mouth, his cheeks couldn't help but heat up slightly. The young man standing behind him looked like a college student. , the sparse sunlight fell softly, penetrating the golden brown slightly curly short hair. Under the mottled reflection, you can vaguely see the long and narrow eyebrows like a long sword unsheathed, and the tall and straight bridge of the nose exudes a heroic spirit. A few strands of lazy and messy hair hang down from the forehead, vaguely outlining a sparse look, just like the mist curling up on the clear lake..
“Ahem." Lamy coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, "Uh... Excuse me, what's the matter?？”
“…… Sorry." The young man showed an apologetic smile. His lazy voice was like a cat, with a hint of hoarseness in it. "Please forgive me for being rude." His standard London English accent was charming and elegant. , the gentlemanly etiquette inadvertently revealed a hint of childlike innocence, and the afternoon sun became brighter.
Lamy waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I overreacted." Recalling how nervous he was and almost broke down, Lamy felt a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to do..
The young man shrugged casually, with a smile on his face, "I just want to ask, how long does it take for each group to enter?" The young man pointed to the queue in front of him that was beginning to shorten, indicating that Lamy should move forward..
Lamy twitched his lips in annoyance, quickly took a few steps forward to keep up with the team, and then turned around again. The young man in front of him didn't seem nervous at all. On the contrary, he was a little carefree. He wore a white collarless shirt with a lake. The attire of blue suit pants smelled like a down-and-out French artist, which made Lamy a little envious, "There are five people in a group. Each group lasts about ten minutes on average. However, the last group went in for about fifteen minutes. I guess someone was chosen, so the audition took a little longer." The worry in his words inevitably leaked out, and the nervousness grabbed his heart again..
The young man showed a bright smile and patted Lamy on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it belongs to everyone. Only you can decide the outcome." The confidence and calmness that came naturally made Lamy's inner irritability disappear. I couldn't help but calm down a little bit.
“The next group is ready." A staff member's voice came from the door, and he explained in a nagging voice, "You guys wait at the door. When I open the door, you hand me your information, then go in in order, and walk to In the center of the stage. Next, the on-site casting director will give instructions, and you just need to follow the instructions. Be careful, please don't make any noise! Don't make any noise！”
“There should be three more groups before us." The young man nodded to Lamy, walked up the last step, looked forward, casually rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, raised his hand and dropped it on The broken hair in front of her forehead was combed back, but her inadvertent movements had a unique charm..
Only then did Lamy realize that the young man was really too tall. He himself was five feet nine inches (one hundred and seventy-five centimeters), but he was still half a head shorter than the other man. The other man looked to be at least six feet two inches. (One hundred and eighty-seven centimeters). Just now, the two people were standing on the steps of the stairs. He was on top and couldn't feel it. Now that the two people were completely standing on the same plane, Lamy couldn't help but flinch a little from the momentum..
As if aware of Lamy's emotional change, the young man turned his head and looked over, showing a friendly smile. This made Lamy look squarely into the other person's eyes for the first time. Those narrow eyes were hidden between his handsome eyebrows. Below, the dark pupils are like the sea after a storm, deep and vast..
The young man stretched out his right hand and greeted politely, "Renly Hall, it's a pleasure to officially meet you..”
“Rami Malek." Rami found that he was a little clumsy, and hurriedly took hold of the opponent's right hand. He was not a fledgling, but standing in front of this young man, the kind of person who broke the shackles of time His calmness and elegance gave him the illusion that he was a new actor who had not yet graduated from college..
At this tense moment, the concept of time seemed to have lost its meaning. I didn't know if it was ten minutes or thirty minutes, but the door opened again, and it was finally their turn. Lamy's brain seemed to be frozen, and he had no time to react, and then He saw the young man blinking slightly, raising his right hand and shaking it in vain, as if to say: The opportunity is always in our own hands..
The smile on Lamy's lips rose before he realized it. He turned his head and followed the pace, hurriedly handed his personal information to the door staff, and filed into the door with other actors in the same group, followed closely behind That's the young man.
Follow the team and file onto the stage, with a panoramic view of the entire empty theater. The space decorated with bright red and navy blue is solemn and solemn. The complicated carvings and luxurious chandeliers can give a glimpse of the past glory..
Sitting in the third and fourth rows directly in front of the stage is a small group of people, about a dozen or so, of different heights, fatness, and thickness. They are the decision-makers behind the scenes who control the fate of the actors; the lights in the auditorium are not turned on, and there is only one person. The halo of a table lamp supports a small window of vision. At the edge of the aperture, you can see a square-faced man whispering to the bearded man next to him. It is Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. grid！
I never expected that these two top Hollywood tycoons would actually appear at today's audition. This was definitely a huge surprise..
Generally speaking, having a casting director, assistant director, and executive producer at the audition stage is enough. Really big-name producers have other jobs to keep busy, especially when Tom and Steven have a full year of work. The top people in the production pyramid. Sometimes, even after the whole drama is completed, the actors may not be able to meet those top producers..
This also means that today's audition is not just for "Pacific War". If you can leave a deep impression on Tom and Steven, then anything is possible in the future.！
