The all-night carnival on St. Patrick's Day made Renly's brain aching. Last night, the party was around four o'clock, and all kinds of alcohol were mixed. When I woke up, it started to be painful.

However, Renly didn't have time to sleep in, so he got up at nine o'clock in the morning and rushed to the airport to take the noon flight to Los Angeles. The day after tomorrow, on March 20, "War in the Pacific" will have its grand premiere at the Chinese/Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, where all the crew will be reunited.
After getting on the plane, Renly fell into a drowsy slumber until the flight attendant woke him up, then packed up his luggage and walked off the plane. The three-hour flight finally eased his headache a little. .
After picking up his luggage, he quickly walked out of the entrance of the hall and stood by the street to look left and right, but his vision was a little confused, and he couldn't find the focus at all. In the field of vision, there is a flat river, golden sunshine, blue sky, wide streets, dark blue waves... Every scene reveals a casual and spacious atmosphere, showing a completely different style from New York, as if even the oxygen factor Vitality permeated inside, and the headache seemed to be getting better.
Renly was thinking about whether he should take a taxi or rent a car.
As expected, despite starring in "War in the Pacific" and earning the top salary for a newcomer, Renly is still downright poor. The first and second payment of the remuneration has been successfully received. After deducting taxes, it is about 55,000 US dollars. This is a lot of money. It can even be said that Renly has earned it himself since the two generations. highest income. But in the entertainment industry, it's nothing at all.
After the official screening of "War in the Pacific", Renly's days in the limelight officially began, which also meant that he had to start dealing with the ubiquitous shots, even if it was just a rainy day. After that, Renly still did not get any attention, but this investment is a long-term plan, and there is no chance of luck.
Renly did not have an agent, nor did he hire a professional stylist. He took care of it all by himself. For the upcoming premiere and related publicity, he first purchased several sets of clothing, including suits for formal occasions and private clothes for casual occasions. , and of course matching shoes, ties, socks and more. This cost nearly 25,000, and this is when men don't need to think about jewelry.
After that, I paid two months' rent, went to a high-end beauty salon for a haircut, bought a round-trip air ticket to Los Angeles, and related expenses for the holiday party... This has not yet calculated the expenses of Renly in Australia in the past period of time - income There are expenses, it is more troublesome to calculate, but in a blink of an eye, the income has returned to less than 20,000.
Renly originally planned to buy a new car, but considering that there may be unexpected expenses in the next promotion trip, he could only give up temporarily; and, after the "Pacific War", he had to do a good job and couldn't find it for a long time. When it comes to preparation for work, this reserve will give him more confidence to continue to persevere in New York.
For a big-name actor, HBO might just send a special car to pick up the plane, but Renly, an unknown person, can only pay for the fifty-dollar taxi fare.
"Renly! Hey, Renly!"
During the period of hesitation, a voice came along with the wind not far from the outer lane, and at the same time, a person stood up through the sunroof of the car, waving his hands vigorously, that is not who Rami Malek is, but is The driver was impressively James Badge Dale, who also swayed his left hand excitedly through the driver's window.
"What are you still waiting for, come here!" James shouted at the top of his voice.
Renly lifted the suitcase beside him - in order to avoid creases in his suit, he could only travel with the suitcase, stretched out his hand to warn the vehicles in the inner lane, and then quickly walked across the zebra crossing, Lamy had already opened the rear seat door, Throwing the suitcase up first, Renly quickly got into the car, closed the door, and set off, all in one go.
"Guys, why are you here?" There was surprise in Renly's eyes, and it had been two months since they had seen each other, but the familiarity between them did not affect them in the slightest. Just like a "Band of Brothers", this kind of friendship is accumulated through enduring hardships and fighting side by side.
"Lami said, this is your first time in Los Angeles, so I, the landlord, decided to show you the city of Angels!" James skillfully turned the steering wheel and left the bustling pick-up port of Los Angeles International Airport, "Honestly. That said, a place like New York that's cold and humid and remote and deviated is really not suitable for long-term development of actors."
"The mayor of Los Angeles has invited you to be the spokesperson of the city?" Renly's answer made Lamy laugh, and the two cities of Los Angeles and New York also have an interesting relationship that mocks and ridicules each other, "Why don't you go to the airport? Pick-up? Just outside? What if I just got in a taxi and left?"
"Rami is about to call you." James raised his chin and gestured, "Parking here is too much trouble, and getting in and out of the parking lot can't be blocked. It's better to go around Airport Boulevard, which is faster." James turned back Looking at the cars behind you, "You must thank me for being wise, or we're still stuck in traffic."
"L.A. and New York, it seems." Terrible traffic. Renly's words left James speechless. Renly ignored James with a smile, turned to look at Rami beside him, "When did you come to Los Angeles?"
"It's been two weeks." Lamy took up the topic. "It's awards season, and there are always more opportunities in Los Angeles. How about you, how about Australia? The Gold Coast seems to have become your second home?"
Renly began to share with friends anecdotes that happened in the past, and they chatted about their recent developments. The one thing all three had in common was that nothing had changed. After the "Pacific War" was completed, they didn't get too many opportunities. Now, after watching the TV series, what opportunities will it bring.
"Having the names of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, it's different after all," Lamy said expectantly.
HBO, like "Band of Brothers," hosted a grand premiere for "War in the Pacific," a treatment that only movies can enjoy. That alone is enough to get people excited, even for Renly, who didn't expect the chance to attend the premiere so soon.
"Which hotel do you live in?" James glanced at the road sign next to him, "This afternoon's magazine interview is scheduled at the Sunset Tower Hotel. If you are in the same direction, we will drop off our luggage at the hotel, otherwise, just go directly to the hotel. Go over there. We'll be gathering at three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Isn't the interview at six o'clock?" Ren Li was stunned. It was only a quarter past two. He thought he had left enough time to rest to avoid unexpected situations, but why did he have to gather at three o'clock? Now time is very tight.
Rami and James looked at Renly unexpectedly, and a smile leaked from the corner of James' mouth. Rami met Renly's puzzled eyes and explained, "Renly, you should know that before we accept the interview, we need to Dressing up?" Looking at Renly's stunned expression, Rami knew the answer, "Also, the main cast members will be photographed and interviewed, we need to take turns to play, starting at six o'clock, this is just an estimated time, It is estimated that at five o'clock, the staff of the magazine will arrive at the scene to prepare."
Renly had to admit that he didn't think about it at all—no matter how much he saw in the movies, the reality was still different.
"This proves once again that Renly is indeed a rookie, a rookie with no experience at all." James said gloatingly, making Lamy laugh.
After laughing, Renly took out the address and glanced at it. "I live in… uh, Midtown?"
"Ah, near Koreatown?" James responded immediately, "Rami also lives in that area, and the security at night is not very good, so you'd better pay attention." As a landlord, James is really familiar with it, "Then We went directly to the Sunset Tower Hotel, and the two directions were inconsistent. It’s better to arrive a little earlier, the crew should have arrived, and we can prepare in advance, so that we have time to prepare for the interview.”
For Renly, everything is new, and unlike filming, promotional schedules like premieres, magazine interviews, which are part of the film industry, are not directly related to acting. Although Renly wasn't very interested, he was still a little curious about the first experience - it was like a besieged city, always standing outside, and now he was finally able to glimpse the scenery inside the wall, even if he wasn't interested, he had to take a good look at it.
When he arrived at the Sunset Tower Hotel, Renly was a little surprised. The gate that seemed to only be able to park two cars was a little bit of a family. It was hidden behind a simple and plain flower bed. It was neither grand nor gorgeous, even compared to many four-star hotels. For a hotel, it's a bit inferior. So why is Vanity Fair's annual Oscar night held here
James parked the car at the door, and the waiter in a black suit greeted him, opened the door, and saw the trunk in the back compartment, the waiter turned around and summoned, the luggage boy followed, Renly He walked straight forward habitually, and only after a few steps did he react and paused—in the past 20 years of life, he was used to leaving all the trivial matters to the concierge to handle. Forgot, firstly, he is poor now, and secondly, he is not here to live in the store today.
Turning around, Ren Li saw Li Li carrying his luggage and followed him with a smile on his face. Since everyone has already provided the service, then let it be. So, Renly stepped forward again and walked into the somewhat shabby-looking Sunset Tower Hotel, the first time he walked into the heart of Hollywood.
