The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 12 1 hammer

The night in New York is already deep, but the brightly lit Manhattan Island shows no signs of silence. The noise and noise floating in the air make the restlessness of summer more and more turbulent, and groups of young people on the street are enjoying themselves. Enjoy the wanton and publicity of youth.

Pushing open the side door, Lanly walked into the street first, and then pulled the doorknob. After Tom and Steven had both come out, he brought the door back again, “Sorry, the lounge is full, and I’m not sure. Will you get used to talking on the street? I hope this will not be too rude.”

Lan Li’s humble, polite but humorous words successfully made Tom chuckle, “I don’t mind that this is not the point, as long as you don’t mind, then it’s okay.”

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, “I thought this conversation was because of my short absence just now, which caused you to be unsatisfied with the service. But now it seems that my guess seems to be wrong.”

Tom chuckled twice, turned to look at Steven, and handed over the initiative of the conversation.

“Ah.” Steven cleared his throat and attracted Lan Li to cast his sights. “We hope to officially send out the invitation to tell you the news personally. You are welcome to become a member of the crew of the’Pacific War’.” Now that the decision has been made. Now, Steven didn’t squeeze anymore, and expressed his intention very readily.

However, there is a mystery hidden in the words, and they convey their formality and respect in an understatement, as if they have given the highest treatment to the blue ceremony. The two top gods of the Hollywood pyramid have appeared in person. This is indeed the glory of any actor. Inadvertently, Lan Li was grateful, and it is estimated that no newcomer would not be moved by it.

If Lan Li is not a two-life person, and he can see through the warmth and warmth of humanity, it will be unavoidable at this time; but Lan Li knows that Tom and Steven obviously did not come here for themselves-a small misunderstanding occurred between the two sides when ordering. , It’s just that in the past few hours, they didn’t know what happened, and they changed their minds. However, that is not important to Lan Li, what is important is that he got the role!

Ecstasy swept across in an instant, like a tornado from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, the tingling sensation set off stormy waves in the veins.

He did it, he really did it, he really won the first role in his life with his own strength, he really embarked on the path of an actor! After rebirth, all the hesitation, all the confusion, all the uncertainty disappeared at this moment, and his hard work, his persistence, and his hard work finally paid off. Although this is only a small step, it is the first time he has truly achieved the goal according to his own ideas since he was a man in his two lives. The joy was so turbulent that he was a little out of control.

squeezed a fist, and then squeezed a fist again. The tightly contracted fist held all the excitement, excitement, rejoice, joy and happiness firmly in the palm of his hand.

“Are you serious?” Lan Li’s voice trembled a little. He coughed slightly in embarrassment, “I think I still need to wait for news.”

Steven shrugged, “It’s just an advance message. In the next two days, the news will be notified to each actor’s agent one after another. Just wait for you to enter the crew.”

“Uh…I don’t have an agent for the time being.” It has been less than three months since Lan Li arrived in New York, and he is slowly getting acquainted with life here.

Although four or five agents had contacted him during the off-Broadway performance, but in Lan Li’s view, two were liars, two of them were just a mess but no real strength, only one seemed to be worthwhile. Yes, he is not in a hurry for the time being. For an important partner like a broker, it’s better to be lacking than indiscriminate.

The “Pacific War” is a public audition. They have released a job offer in the Screen Actors Guild of America. Anyone who meets the conditions can participate. This is the first official audition of Lan Li. First, although it is only a TV series, not a movie, the opportunity is indeed rare. Second, Lan Li also hopes to try the water, at least to understand the operation of the film industry.

So, when the afternoon audition was over, I was told to “wait for notification”. I was a little disappointed, but not too depressed. Unexpectedly, things have turned around now.

“There is no agent? Don’t worry, the actors’ union will send an agent.” Steven waved his hand. It is very common for new actors to have no agents. The American entertainment industry has matured and naturally there are corresponding solutions.” We will contact the actors’ union directly, and they will send an agent to help you handle the follow-up matters.”

“If you have any requirements for the remuneration, you can mention it to the public agent assigned to you by the Actors Guild, and then we will discuss it.” Tom standing next to him suddenly added that Steven glanced at Tom, revealing his eyes. With a speechless look, Lan Li couldn’t help but smile.

Tom is the chairman of the Screen Actors Guild of America. He is constantly running for the interests of actors and is highly respected among actors. In this regard, Tom and Steven, who is a producer, are very different.

“I believe HBO will give me a reasonable number.” Lan Auditorium said upright, making the two big guys look sideways again, and then they couldn’t help showing a smile.

As a rookie actor, in fact, Lan Li does not have much bargaining chips in fighting for film remuneration; what’s more, for Lan Li, “Pacific War” is his first performance in front of the camera. Acting is what he needs to pay attention to. Focus.

Informing Lan Li’s mission was completed, Steven turned around and was about to leave, but he hesitated for a moment, and then asked again, “Do you have a role you hope to play when you participate in the audition this afternoon?”

In the recruitment information of the American Screen Actors Guild, there are simple introductions to the four core roles, which is conducive to narrowing the selection of actors. However, Eugene, who was scheduled in advance, is not on the list of roles. Steven is just curious, which role prompted Lan Li to choose the afternoon performance.

“No.” Lan Li replied unexpectedly, “I just want to try it. However, the fragments I prepared in advance are not useful.” The following words did not continue, Lan Li just looked at Tom, and this It’s clear at a glance.

Tom shrugged innocently, expressing his innocence, “Don’t worry, you will definitely be able to use it in the future.”

Steven paused for a moment, then relieved. Perhaps, this is fate, one accident after another, resulting in the replacement of the default Joseph, replaced by Ren Li. That being the case, let’s see where fate will guide them. It wasn’t until this moment that Steven completely accepted Lan Li’s role as Eugene.

“So, which character did I get last?” Lan Li asked curiously.

Tom and Steven exchanged glances, and finally Steven gave the answer, “Eugene.”

Lan Li secretly clenched his fist, full of difficult challenges and exciting opportunities to fully burst the adrenaline. There is no doubt that Eugene was the most difficult performer in the “Pacific War”, which also means Lan Li’s first place. The next actual combat will usher in a severe test. But he was not timid at all, not even nervous, and his excitement was blooming in the depths of his pupils like fireworks.

After sending away Tom and Steven, Lan Li returned to the backstage of the bar. At this time, Jason’s performance was over. Jason stepped off the stage and communicated with the audience at close range. The scene was not crowded, and the scene was not crowded. The scene of the city has a different taste.

Stanley, who was always paying attention to the movement of the door, was the first to spot Lan Li. He greeted him with three steps and two steps, but before the voice fell, Neil also sprinted over and asked first, “How? How is it? What are they looking for?”

Lan Li deliberately sold a pass and did not answer. He looked at Neil and Stanley quietly. The two of them could not help holding their breath, and their movements were immediately still. Then Lan Li said, “I got the role. .”

A simple sentence, but it is extremely important. The two people in front of them were stunned, and then Neil raised his head and laughed, “Haha, I knew it, I knew it!” Neil jumped up and down directly, yelling, “Even if they have a vision! I know it!” ”

Stanley did not lose his temper, but he also showed a big smile and gave Lan Li a big hug, “Congratulations, congratulations! Although I know that it is only a matter of time before you become a top superstar, I didn’t expect everything to come so quickly. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I still want you to stay here for a few more months.”

Lan Li laughed blankly, “Is it too early to say this? You know, the number of second-line actors who cannot find a job in the United States is 100,000 or 80,000. What’s more, I haven’t even touched the third-line side.” The performances on off-Broadway in the past few months can barely be regarded as eleventh-line and twelfth-line amateur actors.

Such a humorous tone made Stanley smile more brilliantly, “I am already worried now, and I will not find such an excellent cheap labor in the future. You must know that every time you come on stage to save the scene, the audience’s response is exceptional. Even more popular than many professional musicians.”

“That’s because they all recognize my face.” Lan Li said with a smile.

Stanley didn’t buy it at all, “I’m serious. I know that your music is just a ticket to the actor, and the actor is your source of motivation. But believe me, you are an excellent performer.” Stanley is rare. Seriously, he said sternly, “In order to make up for the loss of the bar, you should record all those songs as singles, and then give me all the proceeds.”

“Haha.” Lan Li was amused and laughed, and Tom could not help but think of the words that Tom said before he left, “Thank you for the performance just now, I haven’t felt the real music for a long time”, then Tom asked I repeated the name of the song twice in a low voice before turning around and leaving.

“You can cross your fingers and pray silently, maybe it will happen someday in the future.” Lan Li said jokingly. The words were obviously not serious, and Stanley was speechless for a while, pointing to the busy scene in the bar, and Neal, who is sharing the good news of Lanly with other waiters, “I should go and help if we still want to leave work on time.”
