Chapter 408： "Prison Break" (2)

Wentworth-Miller returned to New York after filming of the first three episodes ended.

He used to work as a handyman in a theater. He usually helped move props for performances, musicals, stage plays, etc.

In the theater, there are many men and women who are similar to him and have dreams of interpretation.

It is also because in the theater, you can meet a lot of big people who have contacts with the entertainment industry, and you may not know when they will be seen and have the opportunity to perform. Therefore, in the theater, there is never a shortage of meager salaries and heavy work. people.

The former Wentworth Miller is also one of them.

Hollywood is a dream place.

Fame and fortune are the most delicious honey in the world.

Even the restaurants and taxi drivers near these Vanity Fairs are all members with actor dreams.

Walking out of an alley, Miller returned to the place where he worked as a handyman for more than a year.

It is still a familiar decoration. He thought so.

At noon, when there was no performance, he went backstage.

As soon as his figure appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

The news that he went to the audition was not concealed, and his former colleagues also knew that he participated in a TV series and was the main character.

Of course, the latter is the point.

Most of the people here have played tricks, roles, and crew, and they are not so ignorant.

That's why I understand how rare the opportunity is.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have to stay here, not because they couldn't support themselves at all.

The daily high consumption requires some other work to survive hard in this city.

Miller is here to get something.

He was in a hurry that day, and some personal belongings and a few sets of changed clothes were still left in the locker of the theater.

Along the way, many unfamiliar and slightly familiar people greeted him warmly.

"Hi, Miller." A beautiful dancer who often performed stage plays appeared in front of him.

Delicate makeup, delicate collarbone.

Uh, what am I thinking.

Miller clears out unnecessary thoughts.

Nodding politely, "Well, I came here for my stuff, and I resigned." He said. He took another step to the side, ignoring the girl whose name he couldn't remember at all.

"..."

When someone saw his beauty, they were a little jealous, "If one person is about to become popular, everyone will join him."

Some people are envious, "If only I had this opportunity too."

Some people scolded, "I lent him money back then, but now I don't care if I say hello. I don't have a conscience."

Miller didn't know what these people said about him.

He doesn't care either.

After being around for so long, he was very accustomed to similar thoughts, or in other words, he had thought this way before.

But so-called "friends" come at a price.

There is nothing in this world for nothing. Everyone understands.

If he accepts a girl's good intentions, but cannot satisfy the girl's ideas, trouble will follow.

He didn't want to cause trouble, when he himself was uneasy.

Also, he doesn't like women. (literally, this one came out, circa 2013)

After getting the things back, Miller went back to the rented place.

The rent here is very cheap, and the environment is naturally not much better.

Not to mention that the space is not big, there is no kitchen or bathroom. The bathroom is next to the bedroom, and there is even an unpleasant smell of urine inside.

His agent suggested that he live in a better neighborhood.

The security around here has been bad, and burglary is a common occurrence.

He used to be very poor, so he wasn't afraid of this, but now he can't.

Even if only three episodes were filmed, he still had more than 30,000 dollars on hand.

Furthermore, he needs to cut off some connections with his past life.

Otherwise, no matter whether the pilot of the TV series is successful or not, whether he can continue to stay in Hollywood or not, he can't stand the rumors.

If you fail, you will be ridiculed; if you succeed, you will be more troublesome.

In the afternoon, Miller packed up his things, called a moving company, and after he quit the lease with the landlord, he went to a mid-range neighborhood near Hollywood proposed by his agent to rent.

Here, most of them are TV actors, and everyone is in a similar circle.

As a bachelor, both parents are in the UK.

Miller simply put away his luggage and went to take a shower on his own.

The decoration here is very good, one bedroom and one living room, with kitchen and bathroom, and a nice balcony.

After taking a shower, it suddenly occurred to me.

The pilot of "Prison Break" is tonight.

He immediately turned on the TV and searched for WB TV channels.

It would also be good to increase the ratings a little bit.

The same is true for the rest of the crew. They are all preparing to squat to watch their own TV dramas. What is the finished product?

......

Eight o'clock in the evening.

A living room in a neighborhood.

An ordinary family of three.

Father is holding the remote control to turn the TV to the WB channel.

My son, who was still in the seventh grade, was a little dissatisfied and said angrily, "Looking at the news again, I want to watch HBO's TV series "The Wire".

But my father was a big family and ignored it, "Wait for me to watch the news program first."

The son didn't dare to reply, so he lowered his head and thought carefully, and a strong resentment radiated from the bottom of the mountain.

......

In an upscale community on Burbank's West Side.

When Charles got home, he was very tired.

Today is also the day when Lismanwish Films contracted to produce "The Middle Ages" on NBC.

He turned on the TV, and for some reason, he clicked on the WB TV channel first.

For this enemy, he always had some uneasy feelings in his heart.

It's not yet time to broadcast, but WB will insert a preview of "Prison Break" after each program.

A three-minute brief preview of edited by Wen Ziren.

WB TV supports this TV series very much.

There was something wrong in Charles' heart.

For a person in the industry like him, the time slot of the TV station is very tight, and the prime time of 8 o'clock is given to "Prison Break". This is not a good thing for him.

The more important it is, the more confident the WB TV station is.

And it is so hot, it is estimated that it will attract a lot of audiences to have a little interest in this drama.

Or disgusted, but they are still willing to see the truth.

But what about his "Man to Middle Age"?

NBC has no shortage of episodes. The location for "People to Middle-aged" is the evening stage close to 10 o'clock. The base of the audience is a lot worse.

In terms of publicity, NBC doesn't pay much attention to it, and doesn't put too many resources on "People to Middle-aged".

Charles frowned.

He did not expect the support of WB TV to be so strong.

Coupled with the fact that the head of Lionsgate has recently replaced Lehman, he has been aggressive in the internal meetings held.

This made him even more exhausted.

Forget it, let's watch the finished film first.

The time was close to five past eight, and after an advertisement, "Prison Break" finally started airing.
