Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 629 The old white man's choice



The lively audition outside actually has nothing to do with the protagonist Lao Bai.

According to Lyman, this matter was screened by Blake and negotiated by Johnson.

After the call at the front desk was transferred, Blake did not dare to neglect, and checked the candidate list again in his office to make sure that there were no omissions, and then gave it to Lehman.

There are not many candidates on this list because the narrowing down is quite small.

First, the age is appropriate, requiring male actors over forty-five years old;

Second, rich performance experience;

Third, the cost of participating in the film should not be too much.

Combining these three conditions, the available space will naturally not be too high.

Who is your advice?

Taking the list, Lehmann asked.

These guys all look good, and they all have great acting experience.

Actors of this age group are a joke if they have no acting skills.

Lyman opened it and looked carefully, and soon found a familiar name.

Bryan Cranston... Lyman pointed to his resume: The photo of this guy looks very honest, go and try him.

Blake didn't dare to delay, turned and left.

......

The role of Lao Bai, the original version of Brian, is very charming.

Lyman didn't even think about changing other actors.

Simple and honest, his face is very friendly, and his senses are stronger after blackening.

On the other hand, Black was instructed to call Johnson immediately.

There is nothing faster or more convenient than the agency company to find an actor.

Sure enough, Johnson casually mobilized the actor file to know Brian's contact information and the phone number of his agent.

As soon as he mentioned it, Brian's agent came over.

Although the two belong to different brokerage companies, their work types are still the same.

Moreover, Brian's agent is not as strong as the current Johnson's client, and his position in the industry has also risen. After meeting, he has a close attitude and wants to befriend Johnson. He keeps his attitude low and keeps talking. Talk politely.

But, business matters.

After a few words of courtesy, Johnson said: Firefly is preparing to shoot a TV series, you should have heard that. Now there is a male lead, and I want to invite your Bryan Cranston to audition. Do you have time? ?

Hearing this, the man went away happily. After a while, he said, Can it be done? He hasn't picked up a role recently, and he has a lot of time, so he can go anytime.

The TV series that Firefly cooperates with Fox, which brokerage company has not received news.

What's more, although Firefly's time involved in TV production is still short, it is very successful, and it is good to play a supporting role.

I was a little excited when I first heard that it was the lead actor.

That's good, you can arrange a trip to Firefly as soon as possible. It's hard to say whether you will be able to audition for the protagonist now, but if you enter, you need to sign a long-term contract.

You need to explain this first. ' Johnson reminded.

I understand, I know.

The man nodded, and began to pester Johnson to reveal more details of the audition, so that he could prepare early, such as what type of character the role was, whether to directly read the script for a paragraph, or to perform in the play.

In short, just ask more.

Johnson himself was not quite sure, so how could he tell outsiders that he was naturally in a state of undisclosed secrets, so that person gave up.

However, he said that the actor Bryan Cranston, who played Lao Bai, is an actor who can do well in Hollywood.

In the early days, just after graduating from university, I often ran around in my spare time, dubbing animation short films, and later also played a supporting role in the soap opera Love and the sitcom The King of the Queen. In fact, there is nothing to say about this period. Yes, anyway, he himself did not regard acting as the whole of his career, but only as a hobby.

In the circle, he can be regarded as a very ordinary actor who is dispensable, and he is not handsome or strong enough, and his acting career is very narrow.

Therefore, Brian can be regarded as such a representative figure of a late bloomer.

At the age of 40, he played a little bit of limelight in the comedy Malcolm's Family as Daddy Hal, which brought Brian three Emmy nominations for Best Supporting Actor and won the audience. some attention.

Although it is still not popular, it can be regarded as some outstanding achievements.

If you analyze his acting career from an actor's point of view, it is not surprising that it is unlikely that he will make his debut in this life.

Because of age, I can't get good roles, either as my father or my grandfather, basically supporting roles.

This is also what all actors of this age group will encounter. The play path is narrower and there are fewer choices.

Therefore, this year has entered April, and Brian has been idle at home, and he has not received a movie appointment.

Every day is just walking around, or reading books, watching movies, and thinking about other people's performances.

Moreover, he is not worried about food and clothing. He worked hard when he was young, and bought him a few properties and a certain amount of savings. Even if there is no filming, he will not starve to death. This is better than most of the young actors who are at the bottom. .

Still, it's pretty boring.

The older you get, the less passion in life, which is why Brian has always chosen not to give up his career as an actor.

After all, he loves acting.

Afterwards, he received a call from his agent, and also knew that a TV drama of the Lyman Company was looking for him to audition.

Bryan has actually seen movies directed by Lyman, and his favorites are Bad Guy and Million Dollar Baby.

Although he is famous for his comedy, he doesn't like being a comedian, but prefers more in-depth performances and roles.

That's why he went to Broadway to perform on stage after the Breaking Bad hit.

Because he is not a professional, but he is more eager to perform a little more professionally.

He was somewhat envious of that kind of life, although he never got the chance to really enter.

It was not until this call from the agent that he had some expectations in his heart.

Carefully looking in the mirror to take care of his image, put on a pair of leather shoes, and when the agent drove over to pick him up and told him to perform well and try to win the role, Brian was even more looking forward to it.

What kind of role will it be? he thinks.

After entering the Firefly Building, watching the agent and the front desk inquire about the specific situation to no avail, Lyman officially met Brian for the first time in the office.

The real person and the photo attached to the resume are actually not much different.

There is hair, although the hairline is a little receding; the smile is very friendly, giving people a very comfortable feeling, a stable person, and does not like to talk too much. Maybe there is nothing to talk about.

He just sat on the sofa with half ass, with a straight back and hands on the sides of his thighs, giving him a very serious attitude.

In fact, it is said to be an audition, but it is just a cutscene. Mainly because Lyman wanted to meet in person.

Seeing him as such a person, I also felt that he was suitable for the role of Lao Bai in the first impression.

Lao Bai is a very stable and down-to-earth ordinary middle-aged chemistry teacher.

Before he took a fork in the road, he had always been a very honest image.

As it happens, Brian's temperament is very in line with honest people.

After listening to Brian's evaluation of the role of Lao Bai, at least Lyman didn't think that starting Breaking Bad ahead of schedule would cause any problems with the role of Lao Bai, and as long as the role of Lao Bai was successfully created, other It doesn't matter.

After all, the other characters are setting off and changing the mind of the plump old white, and he is the only real protagonist.

Are you willing to sign a long-term contract? Only by binding the appearance of the sequel, we can make this TV series with confidence.

The agent mentioned this to him, and if he didn't want to, he wouldn't be here.

What's more, this is the protagonist of the project. He's never played a lead role, which makes him anxious.

Mr. Cranston, Ryman said to him, In my opinion, the character of Lao Bai has a lot of room to ponder and develop. I have also seen some of your performances. It is quite natural. Teacher, although it's a long-term contract, it's a bit harsh, but if you want to go further in the future, it will be a good opportunity. I don't think you're just a comedian.

Brian was very happy to hear that Lyman recognized his acting skills.

His present pursuits are nothing but similar affirmations.

Brian smiled and said, I'm willing to take on this drama. It's okay to sign a long-term contract.
