Experts watch the door, laymen watch the excitement.
"Pacific War", which debuted under the spotlight, not only attracted thousands of viewers to watch the live broadcast for the first time, but also film critics, reporters, actors, directors and other industry insiders, who undoubtedly became the March The main hot spot on the night of the 21st, naturally including the agent.
In the previous period, the news that "Pacific War" will use a newcomer with no acting experience to serve as one of the three main protagonists has already spread throughout Hollywood, especially after last night's premiere, " "Renly Hall" suddenly came into people's sight..
However, this failed to cause a chain reaction after all. The same reasons apply for the media's reluctance to focus too much on Renly. In the final analysis, it is because "War in the Pacific", as a miniseries, is not significant enough. According to industry insiders It seems that the purpose of Tom's pursuit at the premiere could not be clearer: to hype up the news and divert pressure..
A new actor in a miniseries, no matter how shocking he is, his influence is still limited after all..
After the debut of "Pacific War" tonight, the situation is changing subtly. This newcomer actor showed a delicate performance and excellent camera sense, which is really eye-catching, but if it is just that, it is not enough Let people take further actions; but at the premiere last night, he was humorous, well-mannered, and calm in dealing with reporters. This is a rare talent. Coupled with his handsome appearance, the potential value will be doubled. rose.
Frances Parker dialed Tom Hanks' cell phone and said, "Tom, tell me honestly, where did you find such a treasure? His acting skills are natural, and there is a rare temperament in his movements. , given time, will definitely be among the top ranks.”
Tom chuckled, "I thought you were well-informed and would be used to newbies like this." Francis is a senior agent at Endeavor Elite Agency, one of the top five agencies in Hollywood. The biggest reliance is on TV series. "Heroes", "Prison Break", and "3D Comedy" are all packaged and produced works by their clients..
Regarding Tom's detour, Francis showed some eagerness, "You know I don't like to joke. Although he is a newcomer, he has already shown the potential of a superstar." Tom's chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "Pacific War "Only the first episode has been aired, and Renly's role is only three minutes. Now to talk about "star potential", Francis's words are really exaggerated..
However, Francis didn't mind at all, "Don't you and Steven also praise him full of praise? Give me five years, no, three years, and he will definitely have the ability to join the first-tier ranks. Does he have an agent now? In Are there really no other works before? What other information can you tell me about him? If you give me your contact information now, I will sign a contract with him immediately. Maybe he will be available again soon. Appeared in the works you produced. By the way, how old is he?？”
“If I remember correctly, he should be under the age of twenty-one." Tom's answer made Frances almost dislocate his jaw..
At the same time, not only Francis, but at least four agents are contacting the "Pacific War" crew through different methods, trying to find out more information about Renly. As for those who use other connections and methods Come to explore, this is impossible to calculate.
Expectation, curiosity, excitement, exploration... the gaze focused on this new actor is indeed something extraordinary. It is no exaggeration to say that the name "Renly Hall" is causing a stir within Hollywood. Wind and waves, on this night when "War in the Pacific" premiered, Renly took over the show and stole a lot of the limelight. However, they were destined to be disappointed..
“No, nothing? "William searched the IMDB actor database and Wikipedia again, but found nothing. There was no information, no clues at all. To be precise, Renly didn't even have an IMDB actor page. It was like ...It's like he jumped out of a crack in the stone..
William was immediately dumbfounded. Even a newcomer shouldn't be like this. He didn't even have basic personal information such as date of birth. This is really ridiculous. Currently, on the IMDB introduction page of "Pacific War", "Especially The actor column of "Kim Sledge" is marked "Renly Hall", but after clicking in, it is blank.
Renly Hall. List of works, "The Pacific War”.
This is all the information they have been able to search for so far. It is so clean that it is not much different from a blank sheet of paper..
William couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He was deeply impressed by Renly because he was the only unlucky guy who couldn't go to the battlefield in the first episode. But what really impressed him was the amazing performance, which seemed to have no power. The performance gradually became clearer as time went on. Thirty minutes passed after the premiere, but the image of the rich young master in his mind became more and more concrete. This was really too rare..
Not even "Band of Brothers" was able to do this.
“Billy, why don't you search Google? Or... Facebook? "Graham gave his opinion.
William's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, Facebook！”
Now in 2010, Google has undoubtedly become the largest website in the United States, with a coverage rate of more than 80%, followed by Yahoo, Microsoft and Facebook. Among them, Facebook has covered 53% U.S. population. In addition, Facebook’s visit rate has surpassed Google’s, ranking first in U.S. website visits, followed by Google, Yahoo, and YouTube..
However, after opening Facebook, William changed his name combinations several times to search, but still could not find any information. This was really shocking..
“Impossible? Isn't Renly a young man? Why didn't he sign up for Facebook? "William felt that things were getting more and more interesting, and his curiosity about this new actor was also rising. Then he searched Google, and they finally found something. Most of them were news from last night's premiere, except for In addition, there is only one additional message from an actor's Facebook.
This is an unknown actor who is mainly active in Off-Broadway in New York. He also has his own day job. He is obviously the type of person who has no choice but to compromise with life after struggling to reach the end of his career as an actor. He has a facial expression on his face. The book mentions that they are currently rehearsing an original Off-Broadway play, and one of the actors really impressed the entire crew.：
“Coming from the West End of London, he has appeared in at least three plays. He has solid basic skills and his performance is full of spirituality. Jesus Christ, we have simply discovered a treasure! Renly Hall, with this guy, our drama is sure to be a hit.”
“He is British! William's eyes widened. In "Pacific War", there was no flaw in his standard Texas accent, "He is also a drama actor!" God, tell me, if we go to those professional drama schools in the UK and search, can we find his name?？”
Unlike the United States, the United Kingdom still follows the harsh steps for an actor to make his debut. He is graduated from a professional academy, polished in the West End of London, and challenged with unusual roles. Only actors who follow such steps can be recognized by other peers. In recent years, with the strength of Hollywood, , this tradition has been somewhat loosened, and some grassroots actors have become famous overnight; but at the core, this tradition and this pride of British actors has not changed..
Therefore, most British actors can basically find their names in those drama schools..
“Billy, Billy, look! "Graham bumped William's shoulder hard and pointed to the computer screen. It was a link from YouTube. The title read: "'Cleopatra', performer, Renly Hall..”
“……Is this the same name? "William said questioningly.
Graham had a different idea, "We just searched for 'Renly Hall' and couldn't find anything with the same name. Besides, why can't actors sing? Everyone can sing. The only difference is whether it's out of tune or not." That's all. Maybe he just played and sang at home and uploaded it to YouTube.？”
William couldn't refute. He suddenly became excited and quickly clicked the link. He was so excited that he clicked three times before he succeeded. After entering the familiar page of YouTube, William looked up and down. This video was actually uploaded in August last year. Yes, eight months have passed in the blink of an eye, but the number of views is only less than 2,000, and the number of likes is only a pitiful 39.
There are not even 1 million but 800,000 videos like this on YouTube. If there is no special gimmick or professional promotion, within an hour after uploading, it may be directly overwhelmed by countless new videos, and no one will pay attention to it..
William somewhat believed Graham's statement. Maybe this was just a video recorded by Renly for his own entertainment, so it didn't attract the attention of netizens at all..
After clicking on the video, a man holding a guitar appeared on the screen. A creamy yellow spotlight fell down and fell on the broad shoulders. The slightly curly short golden brown hair seemed to add a touch of vicissitudes and loneliness. "It's him! It's him!" William shouted uncontrollably and shook Graham hard..
Graham almost felt like he was about to fall apart, "Look, look!" This was the only way to calm William down..
At this time, the two people noticed that this was actually a bar, not a casual bedroom singing, but a formal performance. There were many audiences under the bar. From the recording point of view, the person recording it seemed He's standing at the bar.
When the strings outlined the first note, William's mind was drawn in. The joyful melody was overflowing with sadness, which moved people. When the performance of the song was completed, the turbulence in his heart could not stop at all. , just spinning slowly, settling bit by bit, as if the whole world has become quiet..
“my god! "This is the only reaction William can make..
