Chapter 69 Seek farther away
“Good morning, Lan Li, the weather is really good today, isn’t it?”
“Hey, Lan Li, if you meet Tom next time, say hello for me.”
“Lan Li, is here again today? Why, is there still no news?”
“Yo, my buddy! Excellent work, excellent!”
“Have you chosen the next work? Recently, a lot of eyes have fallen on you.”
……
People who passed by one after another took the initiative to say hello to Lan Li, with different looks and endless ears, some familiar, some compliments, some kind, some enthusiasm, some flattering, some polite, with different purposes and meanings. Not the same, in the small office of the New York branch of the American Screen Actors Guild, the interpretation of life styles.
Now Lanli is in a very delicate position.
The “Pacific War” has won him a lot of attention, but this is only a TV series, and it is a mini-series, after all, its influence is limited; the producers of the series are the famous Tom Hanks and Steven Spear Berg, but these two mountains are not something you can rely on. After the show is over, there are a lot of topics to discuss. After a familiar face, two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Lan Li still has not been able to directly learn from it. Benefits-The “Thor” news is secret and little known, at least in everyone’s eyes…
A blue gift like this, there is no big red and purple, but it has potential; it didn’t burst into popularity overnight, but it broke some names; it didn’t soar to the sky, but it wins in youth and unlimited potential. For the third- and fourth-line actors, it is precisely the most suitable friends. Maybe it is face engineering, maybe it is ulterior motive, maybe it is good at calculation, maybe it is long-term fishing, but no matter what the purpose is, they are happy. Deal with such fresh blood.
just like Chris Hemsworth before.
“Is the trade union report again?” The middle-aged woman sitting at the front desk showed a big smile, her chubby cheeks showed a Santa-like blush, and her narrowed eyes sparkled with pleasing light, “You It’s better to find an agent than always looking for a needle in a haystack in the union.” After that, she smiled exaggeratedly, “I believe that the agent who wants to sign with you now has a long queue. Up!”
The undisguised compliment couldn’t be more obvious, and Lan Li would naturally not miss it, but he just showed a gentle smile and closed his jaw slightly, “I’m waiting for the day when Fifth Avenue is full.” The self-deprecating humor makes people smile, “So, is there any news update this week?”
“The news that was just released today will cause a sensation in the afternoon!” The middle-aged woman lowered her voice and whispered, with a mysterious expression on her face. She looked left and right to make sure that other people next to her hadn’t noticed. Then he said, “A top-notch commercial blockbuster is absolutely beyond imagination.”
After speaking, she winked at Lan Li triumphantly, and then pointed to the bulletin board next to her, “The announcement was only updated 15 minutes ago. The news has not spread for the time being, so please go ahead as soon as possible.” The woman sighed lightly. He said, “If you have an agent, things are much simpler, but…” The grimacing tone couldn’t be more obvious.
Lan Li did not respond, as if he hadn’t heard the deep meaning behind this sentence, he just smiled and nodded, “Thank you.” After saying hello, he walked towards the place where the bulletin board was.
Lisa-Mears leaned out of her body slightly, looked at Lan Li’s unhurried, unhurried pace, and let out a sigh of relief. She was a little surprised by Lan Li’s generosity and tolerance, and even more surprised. Lan Li’s calmness and atmosphere.
When Lan Li and Chris came to the trade union together, she didn’t have a good face for Lan Li. Every day the trade union received hundreds of unknown actors. Among these, there may not be any actor who can succeed in the future. , She definitely can’t be amiable to everyone, naturally she has a choice. Compared with Chris who participated in “Star Trek”, Lan Li could not see any light on her body, and her choice did not require any effort at all.
However, there are actually quite a few people who, like Lan Li, have unexpectedly achieved initial success after being cold-eyed. Many of them will come back to show off their power, revenge and grievances; even if they are not so explicit, the pleasure and excitement between the words are still inevitable. After all, it is Hollywood, and this Vanity Fair that gathers the spotlight from all over the world can always do it. Brings a great sense of accomplishment and makes people feel that “I am God”.
Lisa was still a little worried before. Lan Li has been gaining momentum recently. If he is determined to show her a little bit of color, she can only be a dumb eating Coptis. As a result, Lan Li not only has no ambitions for the villain, but she also takes the initiative to show her courtesy. There is no ridicule, this kind of tolerance is really not anyone can have, not to mention that he is only 20 years old this year, which is really incredible!
“It’s a pity.” Lisa curled her lips and did not hide her regret.
Marvel and marvel, but Lisa’s thoughts are very clear. A person like Lan Li who has pride hidden in his bones would rather give up the shortcut of an agent, or seek a job opportunity from the trade union. This is not feasible in Hollywood. . She is still more optimistic about Chris’ future.
Lan Li didn’t know that Lisa had such intense inner activity, even if he knew it, he didn’t care.
He knows that whether it is choosing Thor’s audition or signing a contract with Andy Rogers, this is a shortcut to success. If you are anybody, you can’t wait to hold it firmly in your hands, because no one knows. If this opportunity is missed, will there be another time, Hollywood is not a fairy tale world, but a real society that cannot withstand squandering—not to mention, he has no squandering capital yet.
But after a lifetime, Lan Li understands that the society of the Internet age is too impetuous and too eager. Everyone is rushing forward and loses himself. Life is not long, but it is not short. The starting point and the ending point are the same. In that case, why bother to sprint continuously? Sometimes, slowing down and taking a long detour is a good thing.
More importantly, he knows what he wants and what he doesn’t want. Some opportunities, even if they are seized, are not necessarily a good thing; similarly, some opportunities, even if they are missed, are not necessarily a bad thing.
As for Lisa’s stepping low and holding high, Lan Li didn’t care about it at all.
This is not only the normal state of Hollywood, but also the normal state of the entire society. It is not aimed at anyone. There is no need to feel that you have been treated unfairly. The best solution is not cynicism or condescending, but to continue to succeed and walk. Farther and higher, and soon, he will leave these little people behind and reach a whole new level, while those little people who caress and complain will stay in place and be trapped in his own for the rest of his life. In a square inch of land.
So, all he needs to do is keep going. It’s like now.
Hollywood is a huge operating machine. At least 2,000 projects will be established every year, of which 300 to 600 projects will be directly put into shooting. This means that on average, a batch of new jobs will appear every week. Including the situation of the TV drama project. Therefore, without the help of an agent, the union is the best platform for actors to find jobs.
After the “Pacific War” was over, he would find a free time every week to make a special trip to the American Screen Actors Guild to find job information. Abandoning “Thor”, Lan Li was not in a hurry, because he was sure that he could find the next “Pacific War” in the union.
Although it is 2010, the bulletin board of the New York branch of the Screen Actors Guild is still an old-fashioned blackboard with the latest information of each project written in colorful chalk. Different colors represent different meanings. For example, red represents seventy. You must find the actor’s project within two hours. For example, green means the project has just been updated, and so on, which makes it clear at a glance.
The scribbled chalk writing, the flying dust, the unevenly colored blackboard, under the slightly yellowed light of the union ceiling, outlines the retro atmosphere of the 1930s and 1940s. Only this point can clearly feel the difference between New York and Los Angeles-the latter has long replaced the blackboard with the electronic bulletin board.
Standing in front of the bulletin board Lan Li skillfully found the information she needed on the colorful blackboard, many of which were quite eye-catching. Produced by Steven Spielberg , JJ-Abrams’s work “Super 8”, which is written and directed by JJ-Abrams, is calling a group of small actors, including male and female lead actors, and requires children under the age of fifteen; “Rise of the Apes” is recruiting a group of people willing to learn moves. Supporting actors who capture technology, I hope they can join the ranks of Andy-Serkis and use computer technology to complete the role of orangutans. The current cast of the film includes James-Franco (James-Franco). ) And Tom-Felton…
Any project has a good seductive power and is open to every actor to participate in competition.
This is also one of the most distinctive features of Hollywood. Different from the professionalism and high coldness of the European film industry, in North America, although the resources of top big productions are always in the hands of a small group of people, everybody’s chances of a lifetime will be placed in front of everyone. Hollywood always It is an open mind to accept people from different backgrounds, different classes, and different levels. This is also an important background for nurturing a hotbed of “overnight fame”. If European films represent professionalism, then the American film industry represents diversification.
Even if there is nothing left of grass roots, there is a possibility of flying up to the branches. Although this “may” is extremely slim, it is enough to make countless people fly moths to the fire.
Scanning the bulletin board carefully, Lan Li quickly saw the top big project that Lisa had just revealed mysteriously. When he saw the content of the chalk words clearly, his pupils couldn’t help but close slightly—” the Amazing Spider-Man”!
I never thought that it was “The Amazing Spider-Man”!
