Chapter 175: Actually, I'm an actor
In the early morning, breathing in the fresh air, Wang Yang, dressed in casual sportswear, walked on the verdant lawn of the park with a leash holding Danny, he occasionally bared his teeth because his right shoulder was pulled by Danny. Yesterday's fight was indeed very enjoyable, but it also made him suffer a little bit of hard injury, except because of Wu Yanzu's fist, he thought that he had been a little lax in practicing boxing in the past six months.
After all, he was so busy racing against time, and in the past few months, he edited "District 9" and sat almost all day every day, only playing for half an hour in the morning, and he didn't hit the plane tree in the back garden to exercise. Baji boxing can be said to be a life-fighting fight, if you don't maintain the hardness of your body, the end of using techniques such as rushing and eating hard is like this, injuring the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicting nine hundred, but originally it was only self-inflicted with eight hundred.
"Danny, don't rush and stop suddenly, it seems that you have to buy a telescopic rope......" Before Wang Yang finished speaking, Danny, who was running, suddenly stopped, and kept spinning in place, this familiar posture...... He laughed and said, "Oh man, you're not going to settle here, are you? Why did you change places?" Danny couldn't wait to crouch down with his tail cocked, and he looked away at the clear sky with white clouds.
After finalizing the roles of Jeff Ma and Beverly Griffin by Wu Yanzu and Rachel respectively, the preliminary preparations for "MIT-21-team" in his hands are basically completed, and the selection of other actors is handed over to other producers, as well as the pre-formation of the crew, and the script needs to continue to be discussed and repaired with Ben Mozrich and the real Jeff Ma.
Although it has not yet been decided, Wu Yanzu's salary is only about 500,000 US dollars, which is already very generous for his salary in Hong Kong; the popular idol Rachel is 3.5 million, and the super popular idol Natalie is 7 million, they are all stars favored and sought after by the MTV Awards, which means that they have considerable box office appeal among teenagers, and they can alone support a soapy youth movie with an investment of less than 20 million.
If the commercial film "MIT-21-team" had been made by other studios and directors, they wouldn't have necessarily agreed to the invitation, and they would have paid the same honorarium, but it was a flame movie, directed by Wonder Young.
Danny, who was done with it, kicked his hind legs comfortably, got up and sat down to the side, looking at his master quietly. Wang Yang touched its head with a smile, took out the prepared plastic bag from his trouser pocket, and bent down to dispose of the smelly things on the lawn. This is naturally something to do every morning dog walk, and dog walking is a must-have item in his life.
Danny is Jessica's sweetheart, and he became his treasure a long time ago. One Man and One Dog first met at that birthday party in '98, when it was more than 2 years old, and now it is 6 years old. Wang Yang slipped it more than 300 times, and he didn't slip it every day when he was at home, sometimes it was Jessica, and it was given to Joshua when he was traveling, and he was handed over to his personal assistant when they were busy.
Taking a bag of natural fertilizer to the nearby garbage can, Wang Yang threw the bag in, he suddenly saw a black-haired white man walking by with a large group of dogs not far away, and couldn't help but look twice, it should be a professional dog walker, he used to do this kind of part-time job when he was still studying at USC, and at most ten of them slipped at the same time, of course, some of them are small dogs.
The man was tall, wearing a white T-shirt and black pants, with a flat shaved head, and he was very handsome. He also found Wang Yang, his light brown left eye and light green right eye condensed, he pulled the rope holding 8 dogs in his hand, turned around and pulled the dog to chase after Wang Yang, shouting: "Sorry, wait a minute! Mr. Wang, wait a minute!"
"What's the matter?" Wang Yang stopped and looked back in confusion, only to see a group of dogs rushing towards him, Danny wagged his tail excitedly, and jumped up and pounced. Wang Yang found that this man was very familiar, he blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly couldn't help but smile, remembering who this handsome guy with a charming temperament was.
"Hello Mr. Wang. The flat-headed man came to him, keeping a distance that dogs could not reach Wang Yang, he showed a faint smile on his face, his left hand without a rope was digging something in his trouser pocket, his voice was full of good magnetism, and his left hand stretched forward to hand a business card to Wang Yang, and said with a smile: "Actually, I am an actor, this is my card, Wentworth Miller." ”
Wentworth-Miller ...... Wang Yang looked at the name and contact information on the front of the business card, turned it over and looked at the back, and wrote his personal information and performance experience: "Born on June 2, 1972, 1.87 meters tall...... Performances: 1999 Future Life, Nelson, 2001, Room 302. He smiled at the card and said, "Dude, I know, it's nice to meet you." ”
Miller smiled in a friendly manner, there was nothing surprising about meeting celebrities in Beverly Hills, some of the owners of his dogs were celebrities, or executives of TV stations and production companies, he had been in Hollywood for almost 7 years, and he had already met a lot of these big names, and he talked about countless things during auditions. But it didn't work, it was still auditions again and again, "I'm sorry, you can't" again and again.
In the seven years he has been in Los Angeles, he has worked as a handyman, participated in more than 400 crew auditions, an average of 4 times a month, once a week, and the last performance was a small role in the 28-minute short film "Room 302" shot in 2000. The person in front of him was Marvelous Young, who saw for the first time with his own eyes that he had previously auditioned for the MNU military in "District 9", and was eliminated by the casting director in the first round.
He tried to use this as a pleasure and laughed: "I auditioned for the "Ninth District" MNU soldiers, and I almost became a puddle of flesh. He took a deep breath, still didn't want to beat around the bush so much, and said directly: "Mr. Wang, if there is any audition suitable for me, can you contact me?"
"Why didn't I see you, Calis eliminated you?" Seeing him smile and nodded, Wang Yang frowned, Miller's figure is very suitable for soldiers, if you have to eliminate him, he is a little too handsome, and his face is not fierce enough, but if the role is Michael Schofield? The original version of "Prison Break" Miller played it very well, and he had no opinion on this.
Wang Yang put the business card in his trouser pocket and said with a smile: "Now there is, you know that we are preparing to produce a TV series called "Prison Break", you are very suitable for the appearance and temperament of the protagonist, Wentworth, are you interested in doing an audition?"
Although he knows that Miller is really very suitable and his acting skills will probably not be any problems, he can't just decide who will lead to "Prison Break". Because this is a TV series and not a movie, he is involved in TV production for the first time, and there is no report card in this regard that can be absolutely trusted by others, and success on the big screen does not mean that you can play on the small screen casually.
It is common for a season of TV series to have more than two-digit producers and 5,6 directors and 5,6 screenwriters, and there are several called "main creators", and "Prison Break" is no exception.
At the same time, there are people from NBC TV stations who ordered this series, plus the main creators of the show, who supervised and produced "Prison Break" together. Even if he initiated this project, it doesn't mean that he is a magical young or a great director, and he can decide these things alone; no, even a small role needs to communicate with each other and be recognized by everyone, let alone the actor.
Otherwise, even if you are an investor, why should a well-known producer or director risk that he will produce a bad drama and work with you?
"What!?" Miller inevitably froze, audition for the main character?!It wasn't that he hadn't been lucky, but more often than not, he wouldn't have that ticket at all, because he wasn't even an actor in the studio's mind. No one will invite him to audition for the leading role, there are not many auditions for the leading role in the big crew, and he will participate in any audition at any level, and the chance of success is greater.
So over the years, he has been submitting resumes everywhere, waiting for others to contact, participating in supporting roles in big movies, auditions for the leading roles in independent films, and announcements from the actors' union, seizing every opportunity he can seize, and now ...... "Really?" Miller couldn't help but mention it in one breath and asked, "Mr. Wang, what ......do you say?" He reacted, regardless of whether it was a joke or not, let it become a reality! He immediately grinned, his eyes narrowed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, thank you! I know "Prison Break", I am very interested! When and where?"
At this time, the dogs that had been stopping in place were a little annoyed, especially the white Labrador on the opposite side could move around freely.
Wang Yang thought about it, anyway, this matter was already on the agenda, and he smiled: "How about this afternoon?man, your appearance is very good, I don't understand why I haven't seen you on the big screen yet." Acting problems?" He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It seems that every actor on the screen is an Oscar winner now, but don't worry about that." He said seriously: "As long as you have a good performance in the audition, you are the leading actor, I said." ”
"Oh!" Miller nodded at some point of not knowing what to say, no director had ever told him that, he always heard "you can't". When he was stunned, the towing rope in his hand suddenly rushed forward with a huge force, and he almost fell forward unsteadily, grabbed the rope with both hands, and shouted: "Hey!
Seeing that the dogs were out of control, Wang Yang hurriedly whistled a few times, and the dogs suddenly quieted down with their ears swinging, and he smiled: "You can't come brutely, you have to divert their attention, I used to be a dog walker for a while when I was in college." ”
"I used to slip two or three. Miller couldn't help wiping his forehead, he used to be a pet for his boss, and he only started to take over jobs at the dog company in the last few days. If this group of dogs pounces uncontrollably on this amazing director, he doesn't know if he still has this audition.
"Each additional one will cause a different chain reaction, different breeds, different personalities, and you also need to consider your shoulder and arm control ability......" Wang Yang shared his experience, but as soon as he said this, he felt a little pain in his shoulder, he really couldn't imagine that it was so difficult to slip even a Danny now! He shook his head and smiled, and said, "Let's go dog first! I'll contact you later, and I audition in the afternoon." ”
With that, he walked to the fence lawn in front of him, where he could run on a wide rope, and Danny, who had waited impatiently, was suddenly regained his joy.
Miller also slipped the Golden Retriever, Labrador, Spotted...... Waiting for the 8 dogs to continue walking, he looked at Wang Yang who was walking away, and smiled from time to time.
