Bright incandescent lamps illuminate the entire corridor, and the spacious space leads straight to the door at the end; green potted plants decorate the interior scenery, complementing the white walls, log-colored desks, and silver decorations. The turbulent heat brings a touch of coolness; the scene of people coming and going is full of popularity, and there is noise in the quiet, showing that young people who embrace the "Hollywood Dream" in the current society are still in an endless stream. Under the spotlight, Vanity Fair The attraction drives countless people to follow.
"Hey, George." Someone greeted Chris and Renly cheerfully, this is the sixth time along the way, "The rumors say that j-j is a difficult director, really Is that so? Does he really scold the actors at will on set?"
This is about j-j-abrams (j-j-abrams), who became famous with the TV series "Lost", and then took charge of "Mission Impossible 3" and "Star Trek", and became a Hollywood first-line director. . Chris played Captain Kirk's father, George Kirk, in "Star Trek", which made him a familiar face among many loyal fans.
Faced with the title of "George", Chris is obviously used to it, and replied with a smile, "No, of course not true. J-J is a very funny guy on the set, and he is very happy to exchange ideas with the actors... ..." Chris vividly told a little tidbit on the set, and the other party really showed a satisfied expression, and the envy in his eyes was not concealed.
"Really?" The other party looks about thirty years old, but his face is still very unfamiliar. There should be no improvement in the development of the actor's career. In fact, this type of actor is the main part of Hollywood. Those bright and bright top stars are only Only 1/10,000 of it. People like Chris who can play heavy roles in commercial blockbusters are worthy of the title of "star" in their eyes. "So, when will the next 'Star Trek' start shooting? Believe in your role in the movie. Will it matter?"
"Star Trek" hit theaters in May this year to rave reviews, reinvigorating the series after years of hiatus, and a sequel is a sure thing. However, there is no further news for now.
"The script is being created, and our entire crew is waiting." Chris replied with a smile, obviously familiar with dealing with such a scene.
Renly stood quietly as a foil, not intending to join the conversation—and of course, he wasn't qualified to.
After a short while, Chris took the initiative to end the conversation, and the other party introduced himself solemnly. That's how Hollywood's connections are. No one knows when the unknown junior became popular overnight, not to mention, Chris is no longer." Anonymous Junior".
The other party looked Renly up and down, as if he finally noticed that there was another person next to him. Ren Li showed a polite smile. The other party was about to leave, but when he saw Lan Li's calm smile, he felt a little embarrassed. He nodded embarrassedly, and then left quickly.
After sending the other party away, Chris turned his head towards Renly and showed a helpless expression, "They always like to listen to these tidbits, such enthusiasm is really unbearable."
"That's the siege, isn't it?" Renly shrugged and sighed. Those outside the besieged city want to go in, but those inside the besieged city want to come out.
Chris's eyes were a little confused, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but he didn't intend to ask any further questions. He nodded his head, and then walked into the New York branch of the Screen Actors Guild with Renly. .
The middle-aged woman sitting at the front desk raised her head and said skillfully, "Welcome to the Actors Guild of America, may I ask if you need to join the union or..." But the words were just normal, and she saw the two big men in front of her. —Chris was even nearly two inches taller than Renly, and then she gave a big smile, "Chris, sweetie, you haven't been around for a long time, I thought you got it" That character from Inception'!"
That radiant enthusiasm made Chris also laugh brightly, pouting, and complaining, "No, joseph-gordon-levitt got that role."
"Oh." The woman sighed with regret, her chubby body staggered to her feet, pinched Chris' handsome cheek, and vividly expressed her regret, "I think you are better than him!"
Chris pursed his lips and shrugged, then shook his head gently, "It's okay, I missed it if I missed it. Anyway, I don't like that movie very much, the concept is too complicated." Immediately, Chris didn't want to continue this depressing He turned his head and pointed to Renly beside him, "This is my friend, Renly. He came here today to confirm the casting results of a drama. What's the name?" The last sentence was a question. Renly's.
The woman finally looked away. Renly showed a gentle smile, "'War in the Pacific,' I was told to come to the union today to find a public broker and ask about the specific situation."
The middle-aged woman didn't make too much fuss - although this is a TV series supervised by Tom and Steven, there are still differences between TV series and movies. She is really familiar with this kind of situation. "Name?" The tone cooled the atmosphere slightly, and she awkwardly repositioned on the chair, placing her fingers that were as thick as sweet and thin on the keyboard.
"Renly Hall."
With a crackling bang, she watched
The screen confirmed the situation, "Roy-lockley." Looking up, he continued, "I'm not sure if Roy is here today, you go to the third floor, room 307, that It's his office. If he's not there, there's his business card at the door of the office, you can get one and contact him."
Chris patted Renly on the shoulder, "Do you need me to accompany you up there?"
Renly waved his hand, "Didn't you want to check the situation? Go ahead, I'll come to find you later." Then he politely nodded to the lady with a smile, "Lisa, thank you." The nameplate in front was marked "Lisa", and Renly could see the expression on Lisa's face froze slightly, but he didn't stop and turned to leave.
The voices of Lisa and Chris happily chatting again came from behind, and Renly couldn't help but smile.
For such differential treatment, Renly felt quite normal. This is social reality. Fame, wealth, power and money are the basic standards for people to measure and judge social conditions. There is nothing wrong with people going high and water flowing low. Even Renly himself, who chose "War in the Pacific" as his first audition attempt, did not fail to take into account the meaning of the two big-name producers.
Following the guidance of the steps, he quickly came to the third floor and looked at the Victorian-style wooden door and glazed window. Renly looked around, looking for the sign, trying to confirm whether Roy was present.
Suddenly, the office door was opened, and a man appeared in front of him, his hair was slightly messy, a dark brown suit was a little wrinkled, he was holding a black briefcase in his arms, and the black glasses frames on the bridge of his nose restrained him. He kept sliding down, which made him a little bit in a hurry, "You are..."
"Renly-Hall." Renly introduced himself.
"Renly, Renly." The other party chewed twice, "Oh, it's you!" He looked back, then looked forward again, as if he was hesitating whether he should continue to go out or deal with Renly thing.
Renly opened his mouth and was about to say that he could come again in the afternoon when the other party made a choice, pushed open the office door and walked back, "Come in." Then he casually put his briefcase on the table and walked around to the table Later, "I'm Roy, the official agent of the Screen Actors Guild. Since you don't have an agent, the signing of 'Pacific War' is up to me."
In the United States, in order to protect the interests of actors and avoid unspoken rules, the union will not only send representatives to monitor the audition process, but also send official public agents to sign contracts for those actors who do not have agents.
Although it is said that in the entire film industry, unspoken rules still exist, for those newcomers who dream of becoming famous overnight, if they can reap fame and fortune as long as they please the director and producer, why not do it; but with the three Compared with 40 years ago, the entire industry has been regulated, protecting the rights and interests of individual actors to the greatest extent.
Different from the sloppy appearance, Roy handled things in a completely resolute manner. Just as Renly sat down, he accurately found the contract from the hill above the table and placed it in front of Renly.
Renly glanced at the half-eaten sandwich and a greasy pizza box on the table, then retracted his gaze, picked up the contract, and heard Roy's voice explaining, "hbo said, You are the lead star, and you star in a total of seven episodes. Each episode is paid $20,000. If you have any objection to this figure, you can discuss it. But I personally think it is a very reasonable number, after all, it is just you first play."
But Renly didn't wait for Roy to continue to explain, and interrupted his words with a nod, "I'm fine." For Renly, acting and roles come first, which is the essence.
The neat gesture made Roy stunned for a while. Remuneration is very important to any actor. This is true for newcomers and superstars. In many cases, remuneration is a measure of an actor's status in the crew. Not to mention, newcomers like Renly who need the first pot of gold to make ends meet—yes, the reason is that simple and humble. Therefore, Renly's performance was beyond Roy's expectations.
After a pause and adjusted his breath, Roy still nodded, "This is a wise decision." After thinking about it, he added, "This is almost the highest salary a newcomer can get, unless you are Emma-Roberts."
Renly closed his chin with a smile, and said lightly, "I know."
Roy felt a little tight in his chest.
