003 Competition is fierce

"Please stop at the entrance of the theater. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Lan Li retracted his chaotic thoughts, said to the taxi driver, and after the car stopped steadily, he paid the fare, and walked briskly.

Looking at the mighty team in the theater hall in front of him, Lan Li's footsteps couldn't help but stop slightly, as George said, there are countless people in this world who want to become actors, but the real success is rare, this is a thorny road, a road with an uncertain future, a road that may not be able to succeed even if a moth fights the fire.

Looking up, the cloudless sky was crystal clear, the golden sunlight was unhindered through the baby-blue sky, and the towering, densely forested steel forest on Manhattan Island in New York could not stop the restless heat from blooming proudly on the solid ground, making people dizzy.

The irritable mood slowly calmed down with a long exhalation, and he would grasp the second life. Lan Li let out a long breath, put all his thoughts away, and strode into the hall, standing at the end of the line, joining the line.

Rami-Malek tugged at his collar in an attempt to catch more fresh air and ease the nervousness and restlessness in his chest, but he soon realized it was futile.

The roar of engines can be heard from the windows facing the street, the noisy shouts of passers-by, and the deafening sound of street performances at the intersection can be faintly heard...... Restlessness, countless restlessness, swarming restlessness, like a dam flooding, poured down from the vents, and the dust dancing in the sunlight seemed to be swept into a hurricane, and a riot was launched sharply and violently.

All this contrasts with the silent silence of the hall, which is suffocating.

Rami couldn't help but take another deep breath, her lungs hula and hula like bellows, but to no avail, and the oxygen she absorbed seemed to be simply not enough to keep her brain running. He felt like he was going to pass out.

Today is the fifth and last day of audition for the cast of the TV series "Pacific War".

"War in the Pacific" may just be a TV series, but it's definitely a dream for every new actor – a sibling series of the classic Band of Brothers, the most expensive series of all time, produced by Tom-Hanks and Steven Spielberg...... Each of these factors underscores the importance of the series, which is almost a "destined success" work.

Similar to "Band of Brothers", "Pacific War" abandoned actors who had been famous for a long time, and instead selected a large number of newcomers, third- or fourth-tier actors to star. Taking "Band of Brothers" as a reference, at least more than 100 characters in the play are performed with lines, and the core actors are as many as double digits, which not only means that every actor will win a fair chance, but also means more fierce competition, perhaps one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand.

On the entire North American continent, there are more than 400,000 actors registered in unions, and less than 10 percent of them are able to find permanent employment. What's more, the "Pacific War" is such a great opportunity that no one wants to miss it. Rami is no exception.

He's twenty-eight years old, he's been in Hollywood for nine years, and he's even starred in commercial hits like "Night at the Museum," but his career hasn't picked up much. Now, what he needs is a breakthrough, a breakthrough to make progress in his career. He hoped that the "Pacific War" could become this step.

Nervous to the extreme, Rami couldn't help but start shaking his legs, he knew it was a bad habit, but he just couldn't restrain himself, such an unconscious little action could distract some attention, so that he at least didn't suffocate himself.

"Snap", there was a gentle tap on the shoulder, and Rami's muscles tensed instantly, and he turned around suddenly, and at the same time took half a step back, like a rabbit who had been overly frightened.

Immediately Rami realized that he was so nervous that he overreacted, and his cheeks couldn't help but heat slightly when he saw the embarrassing jerkiness at the corner of the other party's mouth. The young man standing behind him, but the appearance of a college student, the sparse sunlight sprinkled softly, penetrating the short golden brown curly hair, under the mottled reflection, you could vaguely see the narrow eyebrows like a long sword out of the sheath, the high and straight nose bridge exuded a heroic spirit, and a few lazy and messy strands of broken hair hung down from the forehead, faintly outlining a touch of sparseness, like a mist curling above the surface of a clear lake.

"Ahem. Rami coughed lightly twice to hide her embarrassment, "Uh...... Excuse me, what's the matter?"

“…… I'm sorry. The young man smiled apologetically, his languid voice like a cat, with a hint of hoarseness in his lightness, "Please forgive my faux pas." The standard London English accent was charmingly elegant, and there was a hint of childlike innocence between gentlemanly manners, and the afternoon sun became brighter.

Rami waved his hand repeatedly, "No, no, it's me overreacting." Recalling his nervous emotions just now, Rami was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, not knowing what to do.

The young man shrugged his shoulders casually, the smile on his lips outlined, "I just wanted to ask, how long does it take for each group to get in?" The young man pointed to the line in front of him that was starting to shorten, signaling that Rami should move forward.

Rami tugged at the corners of his mouth in annoyance, hurriedly took a few steps forward, kept up with the team, and then turned back again, the young man in front of him didn't seem to be nervous at all, on the contrary, he was a little at ease, and the outfit of a white collarless shirt with lake blue suit pants had the taste of a French down-and-out artist, which made Rami a little envious, "A group of five." On average, each group lasts about 10 minutes. However, the last group went in for about fifteen minutes, so I guess someone was fancied, so the audition took a little longer. The worry in the words inevitably leaked out, and the nervousness grabbed the heart again.

The young man showed a bright smile and patted Rami on the shoulder, "Don't worry, everyone's opportunity belongs to you, and only you can decide the outcome." The confidence and calmness that naturally flowed out made Rami's inner irritability calm down a little.

"The next set is ready. The voice of the staff came from the door, babbling, "You wait at the door, I will open the door later, you give me your information, and then go in order and walk to the center of the stage." Next, the casting director on the set will give instructions, and you can just follow the instructions. Be careful, please don't make loud noises!

"There should be three more groups to come. The young man nodded at Rammy, walked up the last step of the stairs, looked ahead, casually rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, and raised his hand to comb back the broken hair that fell on his forehead.

Rami realized at this time that the young man was really too tall, he himself was five feet nine inches (one hundred and seventy-five centimeters), but he was still half a head shorter than the other party, the other party looked at least six feet two inches (one hundred and eighty-seven centimeters), just now the two of them were standing on the stairs and steps, he was on it, he couldn't feel it, and now the two of them were completely standing on the same plane, and Rami couldn't help but flinch a little above the momentum.

As if sensing Lami's mood change, the young man turned his head and showed a friendly smile, which made Rami look into the other person's eyes for the first time, those narrow eyes were hidden under the handsome sword eyebrows, and the dark pupils were like the sea after a storm, deep and vast.

The young man held out his right hand and greeted politely, "Ranley Hall, it's a pleasure to get to know you officially. ”

"Rami Marek. Rami found that he was a little clumsy, and held the other party's right hand in a panic, he was not a fledgling stunned young man, but standing in front of this young man, the quiet elegance that broke the shackles of time gave him an illusion, as if he was the rookie actor who had not graduated from college.

In the tense moment, the concept of time seemed to lose its meaning, and I don't know if it was ten minutes or thirty minutes, the door opened again, and finally it was their turn to play. Rammy's brain seemed to be a little dead, and he didn't have time to react, and then he saw the young man blink slightly, raise his right hand and shake it emptily, as if to say: Opportunity is always in our own hands.

The smile on his lips rose before Rami knew it, and he turned his head to keep up, hurriedly handing over his profile to the doorman, and the other actors in the same group rushed through the door, followed by the young man.

Following the procession, Yuguan walked onto the stage, and the entire empty theater was in full view, and the space decorated with red and navy blue was solemn and solemn, and the cumbersome carvings and luxurious chandeliers could glimpse the glory of the past.

In the third and fourth rows in front of the stage, there was a small group of people, about a dozen, tall, short, fat and thin, they were the decision-makers behind the fate of the actors, the lights in the audience were not turned on, only the halo of a table lamp supported a small vision window, and at the edge of the aperture you could see a square-faced man whispering to the bearded man next to him, it was Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg!

I never expected that these two top Hollywood bigwigs actually appeared at today's audition in person, which is definitely a huge surprise.

Generally speaking, casting directors, assistant directors, and executive producers are enough at the audition stage, and there are other things to keep a real big-name producer busy, especially people like Tom and Steven, who are already at the top of the pyramid for a year. Sometimes, even after the whole drama is completed, the actors may not be able to meet the top producers.

This also means that today's audition is not just for the "Pacific War", if Tom and Steven can be impressed, then the future is anything is possible!
