057 first invitation
Facing Renly's thanks, Stanley showed a big smile, "Then the next step, album？“
Renly tilted his head with a helpless expression. Stanley knew that he was pushing too hard, so he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and complained naggingly, "Young people nowadays really don't know how to be grateful at all. , some people want to help you release an album and start a career for free, but they actually despise others for meddling in other people’s business..”
Seeing Renly's gentle and humble smile, but refusing to give in, Stanley shook his head, laughed dumbly, and wanted to give up, but he still asked, "What if Cleopatra La' has entered the top ten of the bulletin board.？”
Renly couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Then I should be able to change to a better house." If he ranks among the top ten on the Billboard, he should be able to earn a lot of royalties, even if it is just a single..
Such a response made Stanley angry and funny..
“By the way, today is Wednesday..." Just as Renly spoke, Neil's voice came from behind him, "Renly, your phone! "Renly ignored it and opened his mouth, but Neil was unwilling to give up at all. He directly took the mobile phone that Renly had placed on the bar and took it over. "It keeps ringing..”
Renly took the phone, but did not answer it immediately. He looked at Stanley again. Stanley nodded to express his understanding, "I know, just go and go. Neil and the others will change the evening schedule.".”
Renly made an "OK" gesture, looked at the clock on the wall, and noticed that it was already half past two, so he turned around and patted Neal's arm, walked quickly towards the door, picked up his coat, He took the skateboard, said hello to Janis, and then quickly left the pioneer village..
After stepping on the skateboard, he remembered the unanswered phone call just now. When he picked it up, he found that the other party had hung up. He didn't pay too much attention to it and just stuffed the phone into his pocket. Unexpectedly, he immediately Then the phone rang again, and this time he answered it directly with his earphones. He took advantage of the street lights and slid across the crosswalk, and then quickly slid towards the subway station not far away..
“Hello, this is Renly." After the call was connected, Renly said simply..
“This is Roy Lockley." The voice on the other end of the phone also sounded crisp and clear, but Renly couldn't help but pause. The name didn't match the image in his mind. The other party seemed to realize this, and then added Explains, "The official agent of the Screen Actors Guild.“
Renly suddenly realized that he was the agent who had helped him sign the "Pacific War" contract. "Hey, Roy, good afternoon." The subway in sight just stopped. Renly accelerated quickly and sprinted all the way. Entering the subway, "The missed call just now was also from you.？”
“Yes." Generally speaking, new actors are always flattered when they receive a call from their agent or the Screen Actors Guild, because this often means that a job is coming to their door, but Renly seemed calm and calm, as if this was just another job. It was an ordinary phone call. Roy was still not used to it, but at least he wasn't as surprised as the first time. "The performance of 'Pacific War' is good. Congratulations.".”
Roy's tone was a little stiff and he said a few polite words. Renly's low laughter was heard on the other end of the phone, "Thank you." He said gracefully, concisely and clearly, "So, you have something to do with me?" He said crisply and straight to the point..
Any newcomer who has just experienced the attention of the "Pacific War" will inevitably have slight changes in his mentality. However, Renly's calm posture showed an air of calmness and calmness. Instead, Roy punched the cotton. , couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, which made Roy twitch the corner of his mouth and smile to himself - after years of self-cultivation, he was actually more out of control than a twenty-year-old kid..
“I received an audition invitation about you here. They couldn't find your agent's contact information, so they contacted me." Roy stopped talking nonsense and resumed his usual vigorous and resolute manner, "You put your agent's contact information Call me and let me contact him." He picked up his notebook and ballpoint pen and prepared to record it..
“I don't have an agent." Renly's voice was faintly visible amid the roar of the subway..
“What? "Roy felt he didn't hear clearly..
“I don't have an agent." Renly repeated again, without any hesitation or disappointment, with dignity and dignity..
This time Roy heard clearly, and the movements in his hands couldn't help but pause. "Pacific War" is now so popular, it is estimated that many people are asking about Renly's situation. Although Hollywood will never lack newcomers, it can show Those with such potential are absolutely in demand. How could those agents who are like jackals and tigers and leopards miss it so easily - they are not discerning boles, but opportunists who would rather kill by mistake than let go..
Therefore, the only explanation is that Renly was not carried away and was still calmly weighing things up..
Roy couldn't help but feel that this young guy was really an interesting person. His thoughts went around in his mind, "So..." Roy looked at his schedule, "When will you be available tonight?" null？”
“I'll be in the Pioneer Village after six o'clock, and I'll be there until the early hours of the morning." Renly replied simply..
“Okay, I will go to the Pioneer Village to find you in the evening and we will have an interview." Roy recorded it on his schedule. The two of them hung up the phone without any further greetings. The whole process took less than a minute. , without being sloppy. Although this is Roy's style of doing things, Renly cooperates so well that he is a little uncomfortable with it - such a newcomer is really too alien..
Looking at the packed schedule, Roy couldn't help but scratch his head. Being a public agent of the Screen Actors Guild was a thankless job. He was so busy that his income was only one-tenth of those of top agents. , almost like doing charity.
Generally speaking, Roy will not meet actors in private, because he is not the full-time agent of a certain actor. In a situation like Renly's, basically whoever you meet is the one you meet. In other words , this time it was Roy, and the union would send another agent next time. Therefore, they had a purely one-time working relationship, and there was no need to establish a personal relationship..
But this time the situation was obviously very special. The other party thought Roy was Renly's agent, so they called him..
Thinking of this, Roy stopped thinking about it and just regarded it as another job. He had to have dinner anyway, so let's treat it as a dinner for business meetings..
An audition invitation? Renly couldn't help but be a little excited. He didn't know what kind of project the audition would be this time. Considering that the other party only sent out the audition invitation after watching "The War in the Pacific", it is very likely that he would be the same as Eugene in terms of temperament and style. In the same vein, could it be that he is another character with a delicate heart and rich emotions?？
If it is the same character, will it repeat itself? If possible, he would still be more inclined to challenge roles with completely different performance styles. He knows that it is very important for actors to choose works when they are just starting out. After starring in too many similar roles from the beginning, people's image of the actor will be easily fixed. It will be extremely difficult to get rid of it in the future. The most typical example is the three leading actors of "Harry Potter". After finishing their performances in the series of movies, the three people have been working hard to get rid of the fixed impression of the audience..
However, Renly also knew that he was the type who thought too much. Because for most new actors, they have no choice. After a character becomes famous, similar characters will inevitably follow. If you refuse, it will be difficult to find a job later. This is a dilemma..
I don’t know what role this invitation is for..
As soon as he thought about it, the subway arrived at the station again. He glanced up reflexively, and Renly noticed that this was the stop where he was going to get off. He quickly picked up his skateboard and rushed out of the subway door, leaving all his thoughts behind. I have put it all behind my mind for the time being. Anyway, the answer to the mystery will be revealed tonight..
When you walk out of the subway station, you can see the distinctive church steeple and colorful graffiti in front of you. The Latin guy with afro hair and the black guy with dreadlocks are hanging out in front of the convenience store across the street, staring at the subway exit eagerly. , seems to be plotting something evil all the time, the restlessness suppressed under the busy traffic flow seems to be in danger of breaking out at any time, and even the air becomes drier..
Ironically, looking to the southwest, New York's famous Upper East Side is just three streets away..
Manhattan Island is a palm-sized place, extending from north to south, and is divided into upper/urban area, middle/urban area and lower/urban area. Although the lower/urban area has the world-famous Wall Street, it basically becomes poorer and more chaotic as you go south. The further north you go, the richer and safer you are. The area in the uptown/urban area close to Central Park is called the Upper East Side. This is also where the most powerful people in Manhattan live. The story of the American TV series "Gossip Girl" is happened here.
However, after the Upper East Side continues to extend north, through an area, you can reach the most notorious borough of New York, the Bronx. The buffer zone in the middle is where Renly is now, Harlem..
Unlike the black-occupied Bronx, Harlem is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. The Italian Mafia, the Chinese Fuqing Gang, and Latin American drug dealers all gathered here. It was once the center of crime and poverty. , but it also gave birth to rich cultures such as street hip-hop, swing dance, and modified jazz dance..
The theater and dance hall culture here is no less than that of Greenwich Village in downtown. However, due to safety reasons, tourists are more inclined to go to Greenwich Village instead of the alarming Harlem..
Seeing the black man on the other side of the street who was about to move, Renly didn't worry at all. He threw the skateboard to the ground freely, stepped on it lightly, and headed in the designated direction with ease. That familiar and relaxed attitude fell into the eyes of the gangsters. , and after exchanging glances, everyone calmed down again and focused their attention on the subway exit again..
