Chapter 629： old white man

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

According to Lehman, 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 for this list, because the scope is very small.

First, the age is suitable, and male actors over the age of 45 are needed;

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 suggestion?"

Taking the list, Lehman asked.

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

At this age, it is a joke if an actor has no acting skills.

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

"Bryan Cranston..." Lehmann pointed to his resume and said, "The photo of this man looks quite honest, go and try him."

Blake didn't dare to delay, he turned around 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, honest 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 no faster or more convenient way to find an actor than a brokerage company.

Sure enough, Johnson just moved the actor's file and knew 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 taken on the role recently, so he has a lot of time, so he can go anytime."

The TV series that Firefly cooperated with Fox, which brokerage company did not get news.

What's more, although Firefly has only been involved in TV production for a short period of time, 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 have 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 role the character was, whether to directly read the script for a paragraph, or to act in a play.

In short, just inquire 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.

But he said that Bryan Cranston, the actor 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 enough, nor 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 he is unlikely to make his debut in this life.

Because I'm getting older, I can't get good roles, either as my father or my grandfather. Basically, they are supporting roles.

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

So, it's already April this year, and Brian is still at home all the time, and he hasn't received a single movie appointment.

Every day I just walk around, or read books, watch movies, and think 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 quite likes acting.

Afterwards, he received a call from his agent, and also knew that a TV series from Lehman Company was looking for him to audition.

Brian has actually seen the films 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 as a professional.

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.

Seriously looked in the mirror to take care of his image, put on a pair of leather shoes, and waited until the manager 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.

Entering the Firefly Building, and 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 is actually not much different from the photo attached to the resume.

She has hair, although her hairline is a little receding; she smiles very friendly, giving people a very comfortable feeling, she is stable, and she doesn't 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 his hands on the sides of his thighs, giving a serious attitude.

Actually, it was said to be an audition, but it was just a cutscene. Mainly because Lyman wanted to meet in person.

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

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

Before he took a fork in the road, he was always 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 doesn't think that starting "Breaking Bad" ahead of time will cause any problems in the role of Lao Bai, and as long as Lao Bai is this The success of the role-building, the other will not 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? We can only make this TV series with confidence when it is bound to appear in the sequel."

The agent mentioned this to him. 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," Lyman 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 current pursuit is only a similar affirmation.

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