"Why do you want to stay in a hotel?" Nathan said reflexively. After he said it, he realized that he was taking it for granted, and the words "sorry" popped out first, and then he quickly explained, "My It means that living in a hotel is still inconvenient, just like a guest, there is no feeling of home; moreover, strangers come and go in the hotel, your privacy is not guaranteed, the paparazzi come and go, just let People are annoying."

"I was originally a guest in Los Angeles." Renly shrugged and said lightly. Nathan blinked quickly, his pupils vibrated violently, and he couldn't tell the real emotion behind the sentence at all, so that he didn't know how to reply to this sentence, and he had no clue.

Seeing Nathan's frightened and uneasy expression, Renly couldn't help laughing. He remembered the domineering Fisher Morgan, so he joked, "Don't worry, I won't bite."

Nathan was stunned for a while, then scratched his head jerkily, his expression suddenly became embarrassed, he wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start, and finally just said, "I know." Jerky words, matching With that simple and honest expression, Renly couldn't help but chuckle, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Nathan looked straight ahead again and merged into the not-so-busy traffic. "I mean, you will be filming in Los Angeles for a while, so living in a hotel is bound to be inconvenient."

"The next time?" Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding the meaning of Nathan's words - "Love is crazy" can be completed within three days at most, in fact, according to the plan, the rest of the scenes Just one day is enough, but Drake also reserved some time for reshoots.

"Yes, Justin will be filming in Los Angeles for two to three weeks before heading to Rio. However, the venue rental in Rio has not been finalized, so it is possible to start shooting in Arizona first, and we will have to wait for the crew to Further notice. But, what is certain is that Los Angeles will be the main front for the next period of time.”

Nathan regained his composure and explained in detail, but Renly felt that he was not keeping up with the speed, the corner of his mouth was pulled down, and he said curiously, "Turn the conversation forward first, Justin? Which Justin? ?"

"Justin-Lin (林/Yi/Bin)." Nathan said without any pause, hurriedly turned to look at Renly, caught the trace of doubt, and immediately reacted, "Oh, sorry , you don't know, right, I forgot." A simple apology made Nathan panic again.

Renly pursed his lips and nodded, "Then, I'm ready now to listen."

"Yes, yes." Nathan nodded in agreement, "'Fast and Furious 5', this is the project I was talking about. Andy said that the contract has entered the legal review process, waiting for the movie —Well, after 'Love Crazy' is done, you can immediately start shooting 'Fast & Furious 5'."

Ren Li's eyebrows rose slightly again, and there was a hint of surprise and surprise in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, "Fast and Furious 5" actually won. Thirteen days have passed since the filming of "Crazy"—two of which were spent across the Atlantic. It's been nearly half a month since this happened, and Renly took it for granted that they had found a more suitable candidate. Even if it wasn't Dawn, it might be another actor. After all, every day's consumption is money.

"Does Andy have anything to add about 'Fast & Furious 5'?" Renly couldn't help being curious.

"Additional?" Nathan thought about it seriously, "Yes, Andy said, there are still surprises for this work, but he will take care of these things. You need to focus on the ending of 'Love Crazy' first. On filming, then it’s better to go to the gym and get active.”

Nathan didn't say much, and it could be seen that what Andy told him should be very limited. However, Renly could still imagine the unhurried smile on Andy's face, a little smug—

Whether it was Andy or Neil, they had never really seen Renly's skills and knew nothing about his action skills, but that's how he successfully took on the role of Hobbs, Defeating the one-of-a-kind Dwayne Johnson, as if it were just a snap of fingers, a magical miracle was born.

In order to appear in an action movie smoothly, some actors start preparing in the gym half a year in advance, but the time left for Renly is less than 48 hours. If "Crazy Love" can be finished early, then maybe Renly can Has ninety-six hours.

"I think, this evening, maybe I can go outside for an hour for a run." Looking at the tall palm trees and the wide street outside the window, a young woman with ponytails is running, wearing tight sweatpants and loose fittings. in a sports top, her golden ponytail swayed rhythmically with her steps.

Nathan's car just stopped at the intersection because of a red light, and he followed behind a silver-gray convertible sports car. The man in the driver's seat of the sports car whistled at the woman, and the woman jogged. When she crossed the zebra crossing and passed the front of the sports car, she raised her middle finger directly, and then proceeded calmly.

After going back and forth to Los Angeles several times, Renly never really got a taste of the city's life. It now seems that Los Angeles and New York are somewhat similar, but very different; at the same time, his life as an actor is changing little by little.

Inexplicably, Renly thought of Chris Hemsworth, who had moved to Los Angeles.

Waiting for Nathan to park the car in the parking space, Renly got out of the car and looked at the surrounding environment. Almost all low-rise buildings with two or three stories were in sight. The low bushes, the light green that has faded the rich summer flavor are easily outlined in the field of vision, and the dark red brick walls and ginger roofs look bland, but they have a peaceful aura.

Walking down the stairs in front of him to the door of the building, Nathan followed with his luggage, opened the door on the first floor, and walked in to see a rectangular patio, which can accommodate five or six people in parallel. The corridor surrounds the first floor of the patio. One layer went up, revealing a fragment of the blue sky, and the golden sunlight fell down without hindrance.

In the light halo, you can see the dark yellow wooden doors. Behind each door is a small house. There are about ten or twelve households on the first floor.

Nathan walked to the end of the corridor on the right, opened the door to the room, and said loudly, "Renly, here." The bright sound echoed in the patio, revealing an early autumnal coolness, but it did not arouse the neighbors. Any reaction from them, obviously, this neighborhood is much better than that neighborhood of Drake's friends. However, Renly wasn't familiar with Los Angeles, and he couldn't tell which area it was.

Renly was a little surprised when he entered the room. From the appearance alone, he thought it was a simple single apartment, just like those dense beehive residences in Hong Kong/Hong Kong; but in fact, it was a two-bedroom, one-bedroom daily residence, and it was on the left side of the door. A simple guest room with access to the outside courtyard, the bright light makes the whole room look magnificent.

Walking along the corridor, the hall with light gray and beige as the main color appears in front of you, the right-angle sofa against the wall, and two large glass windows in front of it, and the kitchen, kitchen and living room are only separated by a wall from the guest room on the left hand side. There is a reddish-brown bar in between, and on the left is the spacious master bedroom.

Spacious and welcoming, modern and generous, simple and neat.

Renly thought it was interesting. Andy helped him find apartments in New York and Los Angeles, but the New York apartment was located in Greenwich Village, with a strong design style and personality, and the exposed pipes gave people a glance Left a deep impression, the ubiquitous artistic atmosphere hides many bright spots.

The Los Angeles apartment is located in the middle-class neighborhood of West Hollywood. It has almost no style at all. It is just a simple house. You can move in and move out at any time. Compared with art, the breath of life is more obvious. .

From a certain perspective, this is also the difference in style between the two cities, at least the difference in artistic style.

"This place was originally shared by two actors. You know, the most common type of actor in Hollywood, holding a dream, insisting on working as a waiter in a coffee shop on the set, going to every audition and looking for his own opportunity. However, one of them got a job in Las Vegas, moved out, and the other couldn’t pay the rent, so…”

Nathan placed all his luggage and walked out as he spoke, "What do you think?"

Renly glanced at the room roughly, "I'm also a poor actor now. Are you sure you don't need to rent another room?"

"Haha." Nathan took it for granted that Renly was joking, not to mention that Fisher and Andy, two top brokers, were optimistic about Renly's future. Just speaking of the identity of the new Christie King at the Emmy Awards, Renly would have No longer a "poor" actor.

Renly knew Nathan wouldn't believe it.

Many viewers always think so, watching the glamorous life of those actors and imagining their luxurious life, they are extremely envious; but in fact, maintaining such a bright life requires a lot of expenditure, aside from yachts, sports cars, private jets Not to mention these luxuries, just the three items of clothing styling, food expenses, and accommodation expenses, in order to match the level of the spotlight focus, it can be said to be a waste of money.

In the past, I went to Toronto and Telluride before and after, and then went back and forth to London to shoot a production, and the travel and installation costs were all out of my own pocket. Renly now has less than $10,000 left in his bank account—the pay for "Buried Alive" hasn't been paid yet, and if there's no sponsorship for the upcoming "Buried Alive" promotional period, Renly will be a pauper again. .

He is indeed a poor actor at the grassroots level.
