Bright incandescent lamps illuminate the corridors, and the spacious space leads straight to the door at the end, green potted plants decorate the interior scenery, complementing the white walls, wood-colored desks, and silver decorations, bringing a touch of coolness in the surging summer heat, and the scene of people coming and going is full of popularity, and there is noise in the quiet, showing that in the current society, there is still an endless stream of young people with "Hollywood dreams", and the attraction of Vanity Fair under the spotlight drives countless people to follow one after another.

"Hey, George. Someone greeted Chris and Lan Li happily, this is the sixth in the way, "Rumors say that J-J is a difficult director to get along with, is this really the case?

This is about J-J-Abrams (J-J-Abrams), who became famous in one fell swoop with the TV series "Lost", and then took charge of the guide tube of "Mission Impossible 3" and "Star Trek", and became a Hollywood first-line director. Chris played Captain Kirk's father, George Kirk, in "Star Trek", which made him familiar to many loyal fans.

Chris was obviously used to the title of "George" and replied with a smile, "No, of course it's not true." J-J is a very funny and humorous guy on the set, and he is very happy to exchange ideas with the actors...... "Chris told a little tidbits on the set vividly, and the other party really showed a satisfied expression, and the envy in his eyes was not hidden.

"Really?" the other party looks about thirty years old, but his face is still very unfamiliar, and the development of the actor's career should not be improving, in fact, this type of actor is the main component of Hollywood, and those glamorous top superstars only account for one ten-thousandth. People like Chris who can play heavy roles in commercial blockbusters are already worthy of the title of "star" in their eyes, "So, when will the next 'Star Trek' start filming?

"Star Trek" was released in May this year, and it was well received and acclaimed, giving the series a new lease of life after years of silence, and the filming of a sequel was a sure thing. However, there is no further information at this time.

"The script is in the works, and our whole crew is waiting. Chris replied with a smile, obviously familiar with such a scene.

Lan Li stood quietly as a foil, with no intention of joining the conversation - of course, he was not qualified to join.

After a short while, Chris took the initiative to end the conversation, and the other party solemnly introduced himself, Hollywood connections are like this, no one knows when the unknown junior will become popular overnight, not to mention, Chris is no longer a "unknown junior".

The other party looked Lan Li up and down, as if he had finally noticed that there was another person next to him at this time. Lan Li showed a polite smile, the other party was already about to leave, but seeing Lan Li's calm smile, he was a little embarrassed, nodded embarrassedly, and then left quickly.

After sending the other party away, Chris turned his head to Lan Li with a helpless expression, "They always like to listen to these tidbits, and this kind of enthusiasm is really unbearable." ”

"This is the siege, isn't it?" Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and sighed. Those who are outside the siege want to go in, but those who are inside the siege want to come out.

Chris was a little confused in his eyes, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but he didn't plan to ask, nodded as if he didn't understand, and then took a step and walked into the New York branch of the Screen Actors Guild with Lan Li.

The middle-aged woman sitting at the front desk raised her head and said skillfully, "Welcome to the Screen Actors Guild, do you need to join the union or ......" But before the words were spoken, she saw the two big men in front of her-Chris's height was even nearly two inches taller than Lan Li, and then she showed a bright smile, "Chris, little sweetheart, you haven't appeared for a long time, I thought you got the role of 'Inception'!"

That enthusiasm made Chris smile brightly, pout, and complain, "No, Joseph-Gordon-Levitt got that role." “

"Oh. The woman let out a regretful sigh, her chubby body staggered to her feet, pinched Chris's handsome cheeks, and vividly expressed her regret, "I think you are better than him!"

Chris pursed his lips and shrugged, then shook his head slightly, "It's okay, if you miss it, you miss it." Anyway, I'm not very optimistic about that movie, the concept is too complicated. Immediately, Chris didn't want to continue this depressing topic, and turned his head and pointed to Lan Li beside him, "This is my friend, Lan Li, he came over today to confirm the casting results of a series." What's the name?" The last sentence was asked by Lan Li.

The woman finally looked away. Lan Li smiled gentlemanly, "'Pacific War', I was told to come to the union today to find a public broker and ask about the situation. ”

The middle-aged woman didn't make too much fuss - although this was a series produced by Tom and Steven, there was a difference between TV series and movies, and she was all too familiar with such situations, "name?" The tone of business cooled the atmosphere slightly, and she awkwardly returned to her chair, her fingers as if they were sweet and spicy on the keyboard.

"Ranley Hall. ”

With a crackling bang, she looked at the screen to confirm the situation, "Roy-Lockley." Raising his head, he continued, "I'm not sure if Roy is here today, you go to the third floor, room 307, that's his office. If he's not there, there's his business card at the door of the office, you can take one and contact him. ”

Chris patted Lan Li on the shoulder, "Do you need me to accompany you up?"

Lan Li waved his hand, "Don't you want to see the situation, you go and get busy, I'll come to you later." Then he smiled politely at the lady and nodded, "Lisa, thank you." The nameplate on her chest was marked "Lisa", and Lan Li could see that the expression on Lisa's face stiffened slightly, but his steps did not stop, and he turned straight away.

The sound of Lisa and Chris talking happily was heard behind him again, and Lan Li couldn't help but sigh.

For such differential treatment, Lan Li feels very normal. This is the social reality, fame, fortune, power and money are the basic criteria for people to measure and judge their social status, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, which is not wrong. Even Lan Li himself chose "Pacific War" as his first audition attempt, without considering the meaning of the two big-name producers.

Following the guidance of the steps, he soon reached the third floor, looked at the Victorian-style wooden door and glass window, and Lan Li looked left and right, looking for signs, trying to confirm whether Roy was in attendance.

Suddenly, the office door opened, and a man appeared, his hair slightly messy, a dark brown suit with some folds, a black briefcase in his arms, and the black glasses on the bridge of his nose slid down uncontrollably, which made him a little confused, "Are you ......"

"Ranley Hall. Lan Li took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Lan Li, Lan Li. The other party chewed twice, "Oh, it's you!" He looked back and forward, as if he was hesitating whether he should continue to go out or deal with Lan Li's business.

Lan Li opened his mouth and was about to say that he could come back in the afternoon, when the other party made a choice, pushed open the office door and walked back, "Come in." Then he casually put the briefcase on the table and walked around the back of the desk, "I'm Roy, the official agent of the Screen Actors Guild, and since you don't have an agent, I'll do the signing of the 'Pacific War'." ”

In the United States, in order to protect the interests of actors and avoid the emergence of unspoken rules, unions will not only send representatives to monitor the audition process, but also send official public agents to sign contracts for those actors who do not have agents.

Although the unspoken rules still exist in the entire film industry, for those newcomers who dream of becoming famous overnight, as long as they please the director and producer, they can reap fame and fortune, but compared with thirty or forty years ago, the entire industry has been regulated, and the rights and interests of individual actors are protected to the greatest extent.

Unlike his sloppy appearance, Roy handled things completely vigorously, and as soon as Lan Li sat down, he accurately found the contract from the hill above the table, and then put it in front of Lan Li.

Lan Li glanced at the half-eaten sandwich on the table, and a pizza box stained with grease, then retracted his gaze, picked up the contract, and Roy's voice explained, "HBO said that you are the leading actor, and you have starred in a total of seven episodes, and the salary for each episode is 20,000 US dollars, if you have any objections to this number, you can discuss it again." Personally, though, I think it's a very reasonable number, after all, it's just your first play. ”

Lan Li didn't wait for Roy to continue to explain, and directly nodded and interrupted him, "I'm fine." "For Lan Li, the performance and the role come first, this is the essence.

Roy's crisp and neat posture made Roy stunned, salary is very important for any actor, this is true for newcomers, and the same is true for superstars, in many cases, salary is a yardstick to measure the status of actors in the crew. What's more, newcomers like Lan Li, they need their first pot of gold to make ends meet - yes, the reason is so simple and humble. Therefore, Lan Li's performance really surprised Roy.

After a pause and adjusting his breathing, Roy nodded, "This is a wise decision." He thought about it, then added, "That's pretty much the highest salary a newcomer can get, unless you're Emma-Roberts." ”

Lan Li smiled and lowered her chin and said lightly, "I know. ”

Roy felt a little tightness in his chest.
