012 The final word

The night in New York is already deep, but the brightly lit Manhattan Island shows no sign of silence. The noise and noise floating in the air make the restlessness of summer surging. Groups of young people on the streets are enjoying the will and ostentatiousness of youth.

Pushing open the side door, Renli walked to the street first, then pulled the door handle, and after Tom and Steven came out, he brought the door back. "Sorry, the lounge is full, and I'm not sure if you will get used to talking on the street, I hope this will not be too rude."

Lanley's humorous, polite but funny words successfully made Tom chuckle, "I don't mind that this is not the point, as long as you don't mind, that's fine."

Lan Li raised her eyebrows gently, "I thought this conversation was because of my brief absence just now, which made you not very satisfied with the service. But now it seems that my guess seems to be wrong."

Tom laughed twice, turned around and looked at Steven, and handed over the initiative to talk.

"Cough." Steven cleared his throat and attracted Lan Li to his attention. "We hope to send an invitation to tell you the news personally and welcome you to be a part of the Pacific War crew." Since the decision had been made, Steven did not hesitate anymore and expressed his purpose very readily.

However, there is a mystery hidden in the words, which conveys their formality and respect in an understatement, as if they gave Lan Li supreme treatment. Two top gods of the Hollywood pyramids appeared in person. This is indeed the glory of any actor. Inadvertently, Lan Li burst into tears, and it is estimated that no newcomer would not be moved.

If Renli was not a human being for two lives, and had seen through the warmth and warmth of human feelings, it would be difficult to avoid the vulgarity at this time; but Renli knew that Tom and Steven were obviously not going to order food for their own arrival. They had a small misunderstanding, but in the past few hours, they didn't know what accidents had happened, which made them change their minds. However, that was not important to Renli. What was important was that he got the role!

Ecstasy swept over in an instant, rushing from the soles of feet to the top of the head like a tornado. The numbness caused a storm in the blood vessels.

He did it, he really did it, he really won the first role in his life with his own strength, and he really embarked on the path of an actor! After his rebirth, all the hesitation, all the confusion, all the uncertainty, all the uncertainty, at this moment, his efforts, his persistence, and his struggle were finally rewarded. Although this was just a small step, it was the first time in his two lives that he had truly achieved his goal according to his own ideas. The joy was so surging that it was a little out of control.

He clenched his fist, and then clenched his fist again. The tightly retracted fist held all the excitement, excitement, happiness, joy and happiness firmly in the palm of his hand.

"Are you serious?" Lan Li's voice trembled a little. He coughed twice in a embarrassing manner, "I thought I needed to continue waiting for the news."

Steven shrugged, "Now it's just an early news. In the next two days, the news will be notified to the agents of each actor one after another. Just wait and enter the crew."

"Uh... I don't have an agent for the time being." Renley has arrived in New York less than three months and is slowly getting familiar with life here.

Although four or five agents had contacted him during the performance on Broadway, in Lanli's opinion, two were liars, two were just scammers but had no real strength, and only one seemed OK, so he was not in a hurry for the time being. An important partner like an agent would rather be insignificant than be too bad.

"Pacific War" is an open audition. They released recruitment information at the American Actors Union, and anyone who meets the requirements can participate. This is Lanli's first official audition. First, although it is just a TV series, not a movie, the opportunity is indeed rare; second, Lanli also hopes to try it out and at least understand the operation of the film industry.

So, when the afternoon audition ended, I was told "waiting for notification". I was a little disappointed, but I was not too depressed. Unexpectedly, things turned around now.

"Don't have an 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 developed and matured, so there are naturally corresponding solutions. "We will contact the Actors' Union directly, and they will send an agent to help you with the follow-up matters."

"If you have any requirements for the pay, you can ask the public agent assigned to your actors, and then we will discuss it." Tom, who was standing next to him, suddenly added that Steven glanced at Tom, and a speechless look appeared in his eyes, which made Renli smile.

Tom is the chairman of the American Actors Union. He keeps running for the interests of actors and is highly respected among actors. In this regard, Tom and Steven, who is a producer, are a world of difference.

"I believe hbo will give me a reasonable number." Lan Li said with a serious look, making the two big shots look sideways again, and then they couldn't help but smile.

As a new actor, Lan Li doesn't have much bargaining chips in winning a payroll; not to mention that for Lan Li, this is his first official performance in front of the camera, and acting skills are the focus of his attention.

The task of notifying Lan Li was completed, and Steven turned around and prepared to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "When you were attending the audition this afternoon, do you have any roles you hope to play?"

In the recruitment information of the American Actors Union, there is a brief introduction to the four core roles, which is conducive to narrowing the selection of actors. However, Eugene, who was appointed in advance, is not on the role list. Steven was just curious about which role prompted Renley to choose the afternoon performance.

"No." Lanli's answer was unexpected, "I just wanted to try it. However, the clip I prepared in advance did not work." Without further words, Lanli just looked at Tom, which was clear at a glance.

Tom shrugged innocently and expressed his innocence, "Don't worry, you will definitely be useful in the future."

Steven paused for a moment, then felt relieved. Perhaps, this was fate. One accident after another led to the replacement of Joseph, who was determined, and Renli was replaced. Since that's the case, let's see where fate will guide them. It was not until this moment that Steven completely accepted Renli's role in Eugene.

"So, which character I got in the end?" Lanli asked curiously.

Tom and Steven exchanged a look, and in the end, Steven gave the answer, "Eugene."

Lan Li clenched her fist secretly, and the difficulties and exciting opportunities made the adrenaline burst out completely. There is no doubt that Eugene was the most difficult performance in the "Pacific War", which also means that Lan Li's first actual battle will face a severe test. But he was not timid at all, and even nervous. His excited emotions bloomed deep in his pupils like fireworks.

After seeing off Tom and Steven, Renley returned to the backstage of the bar. At this time, Jason's performance was over. Jason walked off the stage and communicated with the audience in close contact. The scene was not crowded, but the harmonious scene had a unique flavor.

Stanley, who was always paying attention to the movement at the door, was the first to find Lan Li, and came up with it in three steps, but before he could finish his speech, Neil also rushed over and asked first, "How is it? How? What are they asking for you?"

Lanli deliberately kept it a secret, without answering, and looked at Neil and Stanley quietly. The two of them couldn't help but hold their breath, and their whole body stopped immediately. Then Lanli said, "I got the role."

A simple sentence was as heavy as a tremendous pound. The two people in front of him were stunned for a moment, and then Neil raised his head and laughed, "Haha, I know, I know!" Neil jumped up and down, shouting, "Think they have vision! I know!"

Stanley did not lose his composure, but also showed a big smile and gave Lan Li a big hug, "Congratulations, congratulations! Although I know it's only a matter of time before you become a top superstar, I didn't expect everything to come so quickly. I still want to let you stay here for a few more months."

Lan Li laughed in silence, "Is it too early to say this? You have to know that there are no 100,000 second-tier actors in the United States who can't find a job, but there are 80,000. What's more, I haven't even encountered the third-tier side." Thanks to the performances on Broadway in the past few months, I can barely be regarded as an amateur actor in the eleventh-tier and twelve-tier.

Such a humorous tone made Stanley's smile brighter, "I'm starting to worry now that I can't find such excellent cheap labor in the future. You must know that every time you come on stage to save the scene, the audience's reaction is particularly outstanding, and even more popular than many professional musicians."

"That's because they all know my face." Lan Li said with a smile.

Stanley didn't buy it at all, "I'm serious. I know that you're just playing with music, and actors are your motivation. But believe me, you're an excellent performer." Stanley said seriously, "To make up for the losses in the bar, you should record all those songs into singles and give me all the benefits."

"Haha." Lanley was amused and laughed. The words that Tom said before leaving could not help but emerge in his mind, "Thank you for your performance just now. I haven't felt the real music for a long time." Then Tom asked the name of the song, repeated it in a low voice twice before turning around and leaving.

"You can cross your fingers and pray silently, maybe it will be realized some day in the future." Lanley quipped. The words were obviously not serious, which made Stanley speechless, pointing to the busy scene in the bar and Neil, who was sharing Lanley's good news with other waiters. "I should go and help if we still want to get off work on time."
