When Roy Lockley arrived at Pioneer Village, it was three quarters past eight, which was the peak time for dinner. There were three groups of people waiting for a table at the door, which made Roy a little surprised. However, after stepping up to ask, Roy found that Renly had reserved a spot for him in advance, and he was able to skip the line and go directly to the bar.

After finding the seat, the usher said enthusiastically, "You wait here for a while, Renly will be here in a minute."

Sure enough, after a short while, Renly walked over quickly, "Good evening, Mr. Lockley." After greeting politely, he handed over the menu, "It's busy time, if you haven't used it yet If you have dinner, then you can enjoy it slowly first, and I will come over after this period of time has passed, okay?"

Roy was stunned, looking at Renly wearing a dark blue printed shirt in front of him, the shirt sleeves were rolled up casually, and the black tie was tucked into the gap between the third and fourth buttons, making it easy to do things and dress neatly However, there was a different flavor. Roy couldn't react to such a scene, but he nodded reflexively, and then Renly quickly introduced the menu, leaving Roy time to decide, then turned and left.

After two short contacts, Roy thought he was mentally prepared for Renly's casualness and ease, but at this moment he still felt a strong sense of absurdity.

As an agent, he personally went to the door to find actors and informed them that there was an audition invitation, but the other party was... competently completing the work of the waiter. Is this professionalism? Still unprofessional? Roy felt a little confused. In the past few years, he has dealt with as many as 1000 or 800 actors, but Renly is the first in history.

Thinking of this, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Renly walked over with steady steps and sat down in front of Roy.

Although he was in a hurry, his steps and breathing were not disordered. The connotation and education displayed in his gestures were indeed different. If Roy's impression of Renly was still vague before, it has gradually become clearer now.

"It's alright, tonight's performance is very exciting." The display on the wall always showed that just after ten o'clock, the waiting time really exceeded expectations, but Roy didn't lie either. This was his first relaxing moment in two months. , really relaxed, "I heard that you occasionally perform on stage?"

Usually, Roy doesn't like chatting with actors very much. He is businesslike and vigorous. But Renly is different. Every brief conversation can always make him gain something.

"Occasional guest appearances." Renly looked back at the stage. Tonight is an independent folk band. They used African drums, sand hammers, saxophones and other unique instruments to interpret the unrestrained and unrestrained folk music. A sense of freedom, quite special, "I'm not sure how you feel, but music can always calm me and focus me." Renly looked at Roy again and said with a smile, "I mean, except for sleeping outside."

Roy was amused, "I feel the same way as you. However, I thought you were the type who liked classical music."

"God, it seems that I need to change my image. Do I usually give people such an old-fashioned impression? You are the second person today who has a different opinion on my image." Renly's teasing made Roy laugh. .

Roy shrugged, "Although I haven't studied accents in depth, there is no problem with a pure London accent." And Renly's etiquette between gestures and gestures is a habit that goes deep into the bone marrow. human heritage.

Taking accent as an example, picky and arrogant British people will not only distinguish between London accents and other regional accents, but even East London accents and West London accents. Those small details of words and tones often become the moment they speak. The first basis for the British to judge family background.

"It seems that switching to the New York accent is my top priority." Renly shook his head solemnly, with a serious look that made people laugh.

"Your Texan accent is very convincing." Roy commented eloquently.

Renly raised an eyebrow, "But it's not that popular in New York." In North America, generally speaking, the two sides of the strait discriminate against the central region, the north against the south, and the United States against Canada above and Mexico below. New York, a self-proclaimed cultural man, is undoubtedly a leader, comparable to Londoners.

"Haha, that's the truth." Roy nodded affirmatively, "Aren't you curious about the invitation to the work?" Originally, Roy planned to continue chatting, but he couldn't help but take the risk. Come out.

"Oh, by the way." Renly suddenly realized, "So, what is the invitation? I've been very curious this afternoon."

Looking at Renly's unhurried appearance, Roy didn't feel chest tightness, but found it interesting. What he was more looking forward to was how Renly would react when he heard about the project. "'Thor', from the comics Wayne Pictures and Paramount Pictures, they want you to audition for the role of Thor."

In the long history of film development, comic adaptation movies can be divided into three generations. In the first era, there was almost no market for comic adaptation movies before 1978. The two comic companies, Marvel and DC, have always struggled in the otaku market. point.

The second era was from 1978 to 2008. In 1978, "Superman" starred by Christopher Reeve detonated the market and opened the 20 years of dc comics occupying the film market; in 2002, "Spider-Man" Kong was born and joined forces with the later "

"X-Men", achieved a go-ahead for Marvel. But at this stage, the comic book adaptation movie is like Duan Yu's six-pulse sword, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work.

The third era is after 2008. Starting from the birth of "Iron Man", comic-adapted films have truly become a new type of film, and even become the backbone of the film market. No film company can be small. Looking at the business opportunities hidden behind comics, a new era has been opened since then.

Just last month, "Iron Man 2" was released in North America, and it made an excellent score of 128 million US dollars in its opening weekend, ranking fifth in film history. At present, the cumulative box office in four weeks has also reached 275 million, and it is almost certain to cross the threshold of 300 million. It can be said that the wave of comic adaptation movies has been brought to a new height.

It is against this background that "Thor" was put on the shooting agenda, and it is no exaggeration to describe it with much attention.

"Thor?" Renly's first reaction was stunned, not because of the huge investment in the film, but because Thor's screen image and Eugene in "War in the Pacific" can be said to be completely different. If it's Lee/Ann's version of "The Hulk", you can also think that Lee/Ann wanted to show a strong contrast before and after bruce-banner's transformation, so he chose to audition for Renly, but asked you? From a casting perspective, Renly couldn't understand the connection.

"Hanks has not shy about praising your potential on at least three private gatherings. 'War in the Pacific' is also convincing enough. Honestly, a lot of studios think you'll be the next best thing these days. A brad-pitt," Roy explained briefly, making Renly realize.

But after hearing the last sentence, Renly couldn't help laughing. Brad Pitt.

Of course, when Brad first debuted, his performance in works such as "Burning Years", "Twelve Monkeys", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club" did win a lot of praise, but Brad never Not a good actor.

If they defined Renly in this way, then Renly would probably have no luck. "I'm not very interested in comic book adaptations," Renly replied.

Roy was stunned. He had guessed Renly's response in different ways, including "rejection", of course, but he never expected that Renly would reject the proposal so neatly, without even thinking or hesitation, and declined the proposal lightly. This... This is simply too unbelievable, Roy felt that his heart couldn't hold it, he couldn't help but took a beer, took a gulp, and gulps again, he needed to suppress his shock.

"Renly, do you know how huge the investment is for this work?" Roy thought that Renly might be a pure newcomer, and he didn't know much about the internal situation of the industry, so he refused so bluntly.

In the casting process of Hollywood, there is such an unwritten rule: If you want to become the protagonist of a top-level big production, whether it is a male lead or a female lead, you must go through a certain amount of experience. While people always see Hollywood fairy tales of overnight success and success, examples like Megan Fox in "Transformers" or Joe Alwyn in "Billy Lynn" A situation like a war" is really rare.

Most of the time, actors need to lay a certain foundation. Most of them are small and unknown productions. They use their performance as a bargaining chip to impress those top big-name producers through the means of top brokers. Work resume, good performance, and top brokers are all indispensable. It takes two or three years at the earliest to go from an unknown actor to a leading star in a top-level production.

When Francis Parker saw Renly's performance in the "Pacific War", he called Tom Hanks and said he could push Renly to the front line in three years. This time period is not nonsense, but a true portrayal of real life.

Now, Renly has only appeared in one TV series, and without the blessing of an agent, he has entered the casting stage of a top blockbuster-although this is just an audition invitation, it means that Renly can play with those Face-to-face conversations with big-name producers, whether the audition is successful or not, will also be the gateway to Renly's next production.

For example, the next time a big production comes along, even without the help of top managers, Renly's name will be on those producers' desks. In such a situation, it is not one in ten thousand, but one in ten thousand. The opportunity that others have worked hard for three years may not be able to win. It is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put it in front of Renly!

But Renly refused! Even if he was as calm as Roy, his jaw was on the verge of dislocating.
