"Please stop in front of the theater."
Renly retracted his confused thoughts and said to the taxi driver, after the car was parked securely, Renly paid the fare, and Renly walked down quickly.
Looking at the mighty team in the theater hall in front of him, Renly's footsteps could not help but stop slightly. As George said, there are countless people in this world who want to become actors, but only very few people can really succeed. A road full of thorns, a road with an uncertain future, a road that may not be successful even if moths smash into flames.
Looking up, the cloudless sky is crystal clear, the golden sunlight penetrates the baby blue sky unhindered, and the towering, densely lined steel-reinforced forest on Manhattan Island in New York has not been able to stop the restless. The heat blooms proudly above the solid ground, making people dizzy.
The irritable mood slowly calmed down with a long exhalation, and he will take good control of his second life. Renly let out a long breath, put all his thoughts aside, deposited the skateboard with the doorman, and strode into the hall, standing at the end of the line, joining the line.
Rami-Malek tugged at his collar, trying to catch more fresh air and relieve the nervous tension and agitation in his chest, but he soon found it was in vain.
The roar of the engine came from the window facing the street, the shouts of pedestrians passing by, and the deafening sound of the street performance at the intersection can be vaguely heard... Restlessness, countless restlessness, swarming restlessness, like a dam releasing floodwater Vent from the vent, the dust dancing under the sun seemed to be swept up in a hurricane, causing a violent and violent riot.
It all contrasted with the suffocating silence in the hall.
Lamy couldn't help but take a deep breath again, his lungs were huffing like a bellows, but it didn't help. The oxygen absorbed didn't seem to be enough to keep the brain running. He felt like he was going to faint.
Today is the fifth and last day of auditions for the cast of the TV series "War in the Pacific."
Although "War in the Pacific" is just a TV series, it can definitely be said to be an opportunity that every rookie actor can only dream of - produced by HBO TV, a brother series of the classic "Band of Brothers", the most expensive series in history, produced by Tom- Tom-Hanks and Steven-Spielberg are teaming up to produce...everything underscores the importance of the show, and it's almost certain that it's "destined to be" will be successful."

Similar to "Band of Brothers," "War in the Pacific" ditched long-established actors in favor of a large number of newcomers, third- and fourth-tier actors. Taking "Band of Brothers" as a reference, at least more than 100 characters in the play have lines, and the core actors are as many as double digits, which not only means that a godsend opportunity, every actor will win a fair chance; at the same time It also means more intense competition, perhaps one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand.
In the entire North American continent, there are more than 400,000 actors registered in the union, and less than 10% of them can find regular jobs. What's more, the "Pacific War" is such an excellent opportunity that no one wants to miss it. Lamy is no exception.
He's twenty-eight years old, he's been in Hollywood for nine years, and he even starred in commercial hits like "Night at the Museum", but his career still hasn't gotten much better. Now, all he needs is a breakthrough, a breakthrough to make progress in his career. He hoped that the "War in the Pacific" could become this stage.
Being nervous to the extreme, Lamy couldn't help but start shaking his legs. He knew this was a bad habit, but he just couldn't restrain himself, so that small unconscious movements could distract him and let him at least not suffocate himself to death.
"Clap", there was a gentle tap on the shoulder, and Lamy's muscles tightened instantly, he turned around suddenly, and at the same time took a half step back, like an overly frightened rabbit.
Immediately, Lamy realized that he was so nervous that he overreacted. Seeing the awkwardness on the corner of the other's mouth, his cheeks couldn't help but heat up slightly. The young man standing behind him, but the appearance of a college student, the sparse sunlight shone down gently, penetrating the short golden brown curly hair, the mottled reflection can vaguely see the long and narrow like a long sword unsheathed. The eyebrows, the tall and straight bridge of the nose exuded a heroic spirit, and a few strands of loose and messy hair hung down on the forehead, which vaguely outlined a sparseness, like the mist of water on the clear lake.
"Cough cough." Lamy coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Uh... Excuse me, what's the matter?"
"...Sorry." The young man showed an apologetic smile, his lazy voice was like a cat's, with a hint of hoarseness in his lightness, "Please forgive my rudeness." That standard London English accent was charming. The elegance of the gentleman's manners inadvertently revealed a child-like innocence, and the afternoon sun became brighter.
Lamy waved his hands again and again, "No, no, it's because I overreacted." Recalling how nervous he was just now, Lamy felt a little embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to do.
The young man shrugged his shoulders casually, and the smile on the corner of his mouth outlined, "I just want to ask, how long does it take for each group to get in?" The young man pointed to the shortening queue in front of him, indicating that Lamy should move forward. .
Lamy twitched the corners of his mouth angrily, took a few steps forward, followed the team, and then turned around again. The young man in front of him didn't seem nervous at all, on the contrary, he was a little at ease. The white collarless shirt matched the lake. The attire of blue suit trousers had the taste of a down-to-earth French artist, which made Rami a little envious. It is estimated that someone has been fancy, so the audition time is longer." The worry in the words inevitably leaked out, and the nervousness once again seized the heart.
The young man showed a bright smile and patted Rami on the shoulder, "Don't worry, the opportunity belongs to everyone, and only you can decide the outcome." The self-confidence and calmness that came out naturally made Rami's inner irritability disappear. Couldn't help but calm down a little.
"Prepare for the next group." The staff's voice came from the door, and he explained in a ramble, "You wait at the door, I'll wait for the door to open, then you hand over your information to me, then go in in order, and leave. Go to the center of the stage. Next, the casting director on the scene will issue an order, and you can just follow the order. Be careful, please don't make a lot of noise! Don't make a lot of noise!"
"There should be three more groups to come to us." The young man nodded to Rami, walked up the last step, looked forward, casually rolled his shirt sleeves to his elbow, raised his hand and it would fall down The broken hair on the forehead was combed back, but the inadvertent action had a unique charm.
It was only then that Rami realized that the young man was really too tall. He was five feet nine inches (175 cm), but he was still more than half a head shorter than the other side, who looked at least six feet two inches. (One hundred and eighty-seven centimeters), the two of them were standing on the stairs just now, and he was on it, so he couldn't feel it. Now that the two of them were completely on the same plane, Lamy couldn't help but flinch a little over the momentum.
Seemingly aware of Rami's emotional change, the young man turned his head to look over, showing a friendly smile, which made Rami face the other's eyes for the first time, those long and narrow eyes hidden between the handsome eyebrows Down, dark pupils are like the sea after a storm, deep and vast.
The young man extended his right hand and greeted politely, "Renly-Hall, it's a pleasure to officially meet you."
"Rami Malek." Rami realized that he was a little clumsy, and hurriedly held the opponent's right hand. He was not a fledgling young man, but standing in front of this young man, the kind of person who broke the shackles of time. His quiet and elegant appearance gave him the illusion that he was the rookie actor who had not yet graduated from college.
In a tense moment, the concept of time seems to lose its meaning. I don't know if ten minutes or thirty minutes later, the door is opened again, and it is finally their turn to play. Lamy's brain seemed to freeze, and he didn't have time to react. Then he saw the young man blink slightly, raise his right hand and shake it in the air, as if to say: Opportunity is always in our own hands.
The smile on the corner of his mouth rose before Rami realized it. He turned his head and followed the pace. He hurriedly handed over his personal information to the staff at the gate, and filed into the gate with the other actors in the same group, followed closely behind him. It was the young man.
Following the team, they walked onto the stage, and the entire empty theater had a panoramic view. The space decorated with red and navy blue was solemn and solemn, and the complicated carvings and luxurious chandeliers gave a glimpse of the former glory.
There are a small group of people sitting in the third and fourth rows directly in front of the stage, about a dozen or so tall, short, fat and thin. They are the behind-the-scenes decision-makers who control the fate of the actors; the lights in the auditorium are not turned on, only one The halo of a desk lamp supports a small window of vision. At the edge of the halo, a square-faced man can be seen whispering to the bearded man next to him. It is Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. grid!
Unexpectedly, these two top Hollywood bigwigs actually appeared in today's audition scene in person, which is definitely a huge surprise.
Generally speaking, the audition stage has a casting director, an assistant director and an executive producer, which is enough, the real big-name producers have other jobs to be busy, especially Tom and Steven have a full year of work. The top people in the pyramid. Sometimes, even after the entire show is over, the actors don't necessarily get to meet the top producers.
This also means that today's audition is not just for "Pacific War", if Tom and Steven can be impressed, then everything is possible in the future!
