The "Pacific War", which debuted under the watchful eye, not only attracted thousands of viewers to watch the live broadcast for the first time, but also film critics, reporters, actors, directors and other industry insiders, which became the primary hot spot on the night of March 21, including agents.
In the previous period, the news that "Pacific War" adopted a newcomer without any acting experience as one of the three leading roles has already spread throughout Hollywood, especially after last night's premiere, "Blue Rite-Hall" has suddenly entered people's attention.
However, this did not cause a ripple effect. The reason why the media is reluctant to focus too much on Lan Li also applies, but in the final analysis, it is because "Pacific War" is still not enough as a miniseries. In the eyes of industry insiders, Tom's pursuit of the premiere could not have been clearer: to hype up the news and divert pressure.
A rookie actor in a miniseries, no matter how shocking the world is, his influence is still limited after all.
After tonight's "Pacific War" debuted, the situation is changing subtly. The rookie actor's delicate performance and excellent camera sense are really eye-catching, but if that's all it takes, it's not enough to make people move further, but at the premiere last night, the humorous, decent, and calm attitude to the reporter is a rare talent, coupled with the handsome appearance, then the potential value will increase exponentially.
Frances-Parker dialed Tom Hanks' cell phone, "Tom, tell me honestly, where did you dig up such a treasure? ”
Tom chuckled, "I thought you were well-informed, and you were no stranger to such newcomers. Francis is a senior agent at Endeavour Elite Agency, one of Hollywood's top five agencies, whose biggest reliance is on TV series, with "Hero," "Prison Break," and "I'm a Comedian" all packaged and produced by their clients.
Francis was a little eager for Tom's detour, "You know I don't like jokes. Although he is a newcomer, he has already shown the potential of a superstar. Tom's chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "War in the Pacific" has only aired the first episode, and the blue scene is only three minutes long, and now to say "superstar potential", Francis's words are really a bit too exaggerated.
However, Francis didn't mind, "Didn't you and Steven praise him too? Give me five years, no, three years, and he will definitely be able to be among the ranks." Does he have an agent now? Before that, he really didn't have any other works at all? What information about him can you tell me? You give me the contact information now, and I'll sign him right away, and maybe he will be able to appear in your work again in the near future. By the way, how old is he?"
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm under twenty-one. Tom's answer nearly dislocated Francis's jaw.
At the same time, not only Francis, but at least four other agents are contacting the "War in the Pacific" crew in different ways, trying to find out more about Lan Li, and as for those who use other connections and methods to explore, this cannot be calculated.
Anticipation, curiosity, excitement, inquiry...... The gaze that converges on this rookie actor is really unusual. It is no exaggeration to say that the name "Lan Li-Hall" is setting off a storm within Hollywood, and on the night of the premiere of "Pacific War", Lan Li stole a lot of the limelight. However, they were doomed to disappointment.
"No, nothing?" William searched IMDB's actor database and then Wikipedia, but found nothing. There is no information, no clues at all, to be precise, Lan Li doesn't even have an IMDB cast page, it's like ...... It's as if he's jumping out of a crack in the rock.
William was directly dumbfounded, even if he is a newcomer, he shouldn't be like this, he doesn't even have basic personal information such as the date of birth, which is really ridiculous. At present, on the introduction page of the "Pacific War" IMDB, the actor column of "Eugene Slaich" is marked with "Blue Rite Hall", but after clicking in, it is blank
Blue Rite Hall. List of works, "War in the Pacific".
That's all they've been able to search for so far, and it's as clean as a blank piece of paper.
William couldn't help but feel a little deflated, his deep impression of Lan Li, the origin was because he was the only unlucky guy who was not able to go to the battlefield in the first episode, but what really moved him was the amazing performance, the seemingly powerless performance gradually became clear with the advancement of time, thirty minutes passed after the premiere, but the image of the rich young master in his mind was becoming more and more concrete, which was really too rare.
Even the "brothers" were not able to do this.
"Billy, do you want to search Google? or ...... Facebook?" Graham gave his opinion.
William's eyes lit up, "Yes, Facebook!"
Now in 2010, Google is the largest website in the United States, with more than 80 percent coverage, followed by Yahoo, Microsoft and Facebook. Facebook already covers 53 percent of the U.S. population. In addition, Facebook has surpassed Google in terms of access rate, ranking first in the number of website visits in the United States, followed by Google, Yahoo, and YouTube.
However, after opening Facebook, William changed his name combination several times to search, but still did not find any information, which really broke the glasses.
"Can't be, isn't it? Lan Li is not a young man? Why didn't he sign up for Facebook?" William found things getting more and more interesting, and his curiosity about the rookie actor was rising, and then he searched Google, and they finally found that most of it was the news of last night's premiere, and other than that, there was only one additional piece of news from an actor's Facebook.
This is an unknown actor, mainly active in New York's Off-Broadway, and usually has his own full-time job, obviously the kind of person who has no choice but to compromise with life after the actor's career has come to an end. He mentioned on Facebook that they are currently rehearsing an original play on Off-Broadway, and one of the actors really made the whole crew shine:
"Coming from London's West End, having starred in at least three plays, solid fundamentals, performances full of spirituality, Jesus Christ, we've just dug up a treasure! ”
"He's British!" William's eyes widened, and there was nothing wrong with his standard Texas accent in the "Pacific War", "He's still a theater actor!" God, you say, if we go to the professional drama schools in England, we can find his name?"
Unlike the United States, the United Kingdom still follows the harsh steps of actors' debuts, graduated from professional colleges, polished in London's West End, and challenged to break the rules, and only actors who follow such steps can be recognized by other peers. In recent years, with the strength of Hollywood, this tradition has been loosened, and some grassroots actors who have become famous overnight have appeared, but in their bones, this tradition and pride of British actors have not changed.
Therefore, most British actors can basically find their names in those drama schools.
"Billy, Billy, look!" Graham slammed William's shoulder and pointed to the computer screen, which was a link from YouTube with the caption reading: "'Cleopatra', performer, Ranley Hall." ”
“…… It's the same name, isn't it?" said William questioningly.
Graham had a different idea, "We just searched for 'Lan Li-Hall', but we didn't find the same name at all. Besides, why can't actors sing? Everyone can sing, the difference is just that it's out of tune and not out of tune. Maybe it's just him playing and singing at home and uploading it to YouTube?"
William couldn't refute it, he was suddenly excited, and quickly clicked on the link. Because he was so excited, that he clicked three times to succeed, after entering the familiar page of YouTube, William looked up and down, this video was actually uploaded in August last year, and eight months have passed in a blink of an eye, but the number of views is only less than 2,000, and the number of likes is only a pitiful thirty-nine.
If there is no special gimmick or professional publicity, it may be inundated with countless new videos in less than an hour after uploading, and no one will pay attention to it at all.
William somewhat believed Graham's statement, maybe it was just a video recorded by Lan Li entertaining himself, so it didn't attract the attention of netizens at all.
After clicking on the video, a figure of a man holding a guitar appeared on the screen, a milky spotlight spilled down, landing on the broad shoulders, and the slightly curly short blond-brown hair seemed to add a touch of vicissitudes and loneliness, "It's him! It's him!" William screamed uncontrollably, shaking Graham vigorously.
Graham almost felt like he was going to fall apart, "Look, look!" could only calm William down in this way.
At this time, the two of them noticed that this was actually a bar, not a casual bedroom singing, but a formal performance, and there were many audiences under the bar. From the point of view of recording, it is as if the person recording is standing at the bar.
When the strings outline the first note, William's mind is drawn to it, and the sadness overflowing from the cheerful melody is moving. When the song is finished, the inner turmoil can't stop at all, but it is slowly swirling, precipitating little by little, as if the whole world is quiet.
"My God!" was the only reaction William could make.
