Experts see the details, while amateurs see the fun.
Under the gaze of the public, “The Pacific” that made its shining debut not only attracted tens of thousands of viewers to watch the live broadcast for the first ti, but also drew attention from insiders such as film critics, reporters, actors, and directors, becoming the hot topic on the evening of March 21, including the agents, of course.
In the period before this, the news that “The Pacific” used a newcor with no performance experience as one of the three main characters had already spread throughout Hollywood, especially after the premiere last night, “Renly Hall” suddenly grabbed people’s attention.
However, this still did not cause a chain reaction. The reason why the dia did not want to focus too much on Renly also applies, but in the end, it is because, “The Pacific” still lacked weight. In the eyes of industry insiders, the purpose of Tom’s premiere hype couldn’t have been clearer: to create news and deflect the pressure.
Even if a newcor acting in a mini-series is extrely amazing, their influence was still limited.
However, the situation changed subtly after “The Pacific” debuted tonight. This newcor actor showed delicate acting and excellent cara sense, which really caught people’s attention. But if it were just that, it would not be enough to make people take further action. However, at the premiere last night, his witty humor, tactful responses, and calm and steady atmosphere in front of the reporters showed a rare talent, coupled with his handso appearance, will make his potential value increase exponentially.
Frances Parker dialed Tom Hanks’ phone, “Tom, tell honestly, where did you dig up such a gem? His acting was so natural and there was a rare elegance in each of his moves. Given ti, he will surely reach the top level as an actor.”
Tom chuckled, “I thought you were well-inford and used to seeing newcors like this.” Frances is a senior agent at the Endeavour, which ranks among the top five agencies in Hollywood. Their biggest reliance was actually TV series, and “Heroes,” “Prison Break,” and “The Big Bang Theory” are all works produced by their clients.
In response to Tom’s roundaboutness, Francis was a little too eager, “You know I don’t like to joke around. Although he is a newcor, he has already shown the potential of a superstar.” Tom’s light laughter ca from the other end of the phone, “The Pacific” has only aired the first episode, and Renly’s scenes were only three minutes long. It’s too early to say he has a “superstar potential”.
However, Frances didn’t mind it at all. “Didn’t you and Steven also speak highly of him? Give five years, no, three years, and he will definitely have the ability to be in the top ranks. Does he have an agent now? Before this, does he really have no other works at all? What information do you have about him that you can tell ? Give his contact information now, and I will imdiately sign him. Maybe soon he will be appearing in works produced by you again. By the way, how old is he this year?”
“If I rember correctly, he should be under twenty-one,” Tom’s answer almost dislocated Frances’s jaw.
anwhile, not only Frances, but at least four other agents were trying to contact the “The Pacific” crew through different ans, attempting to find out more information about Renly. As for the number of those who used other connections and thods to investigate him – that is incalculable.
Expectation, curiosity, excitent, and inquiry… The attention gathered on this new actor was truly extraordinary. It’s no exaggeration to say that the na “Renly Hall” was causing quite a stir within Hollywood. On the night of the premiere of “The Pacific,” Renly stole a lot of the lilight. However, they were all bound to be disappointed.
“Nothing, absolutely nothing?” William searched the IMDb actor database and Wikipedia but ca up empty-handed. There was no information, no trace to be found, nothing. To be precise, Renly didn’t even have an IMDb actor page. It was as if… he had popped out of a crack in a rock.
William was dumbfounded. Even for a newcor, this was too strange. Even personal basic information like birthdate wasn’t available. Currently, on “The Pacific” IMDb page, the column for the actor who played “Eugene Sledge” was marked as “Renly Hall,” but clicking on it yielded a blank page.
Renly Hall. Works list: “The Pacific.”
This was all the information they could find for now; it was as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
William couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He was impressed by Renly originally because he was the only unlucky person in the first episode who couldn’t go to the battlefield, but what really moved him in the end was the stunning performance. That seemingly effortless performance gradually beca clear as ti passed. Thirty minutes after the premiere ended, the image of the rich boy in his mind beca increasingly concrete. That was truly rare.
Even “Band of Brothers” had not been able to achieve this.
“Billy, why don’t you try searching on Google? Or…maybe Facebook?” Graham gave his opinion.
William’s eyes lit up. “Yes, Facebook!”
In 2010, Google had unquestionably beco the largest Internet search engine in the United States, with a coverage rate of over 80%. Yahoo, Microsoft, and Facebook followed behind, with Facebook covering 53% of the US population. Furthermore, Facebook’s visitor rate had surpassed Google’s, ranking first in the US website traffic, with Google, Yahoo, and YouTube following closely behind.
However, after opening Facebook, William tried different na combinations several tis for searching but still couldn’t find any information, which was truly surprising.
“Impossible? Isn’t Renly a young person? Why hasn’t he registered on Facebook?” William found this increasingly interesting, and his curiosity about this new actor grew. He then searched on Google and finally found sothing. Most of the news was about the premiere last night, except for one additional ssage from an actor on Facebook.
This was an unknown actor who mainly worked in the outer Broadway, New York and had a regular job. Apparently, he was one of those people who had to compromise with life after struggling to make a living as an actor. He ntioned on Facebook that they were currently rehearsing an original play.
One of the actors participating in the play truly caught the attention of the entire crew: “From the West End of London, at least appearing in three plays, solid basic skills, and has a lot of spirituality in his performance, Jesus Christ, we’ve struck gold! Renly Hall, with this guy, our play is sure to be a hit.”
“He is British!” William’s eyes widened. In the “The Pacific,” that standard Texan accent of his had no flaws. “He also has a background in theater acting! Oh my God, do you think we can find his na if we search those professional drama schools in the UK?”
Unlike the United States, the UK still adheres to strict steps for actors that are getting started – having a professional academy background, polishing yourself in London’s West End, and challenging unconventional roles. Only actors who follow such steps can gain recognition from their peers. In recent years, with the dominance of Hollywood, this tradition has loosened, and so grassroots actors who beca famous overnight have erged. However, fundantally, this tradition and pride of British actors have not changed.
Therefore, most British actors can basically be found by na in those drama schools.
“Billy, Billy, look!” Graham bumped William’s shoulder hard and pointed to a YouTube link on the computer screen. The title read, “Cleopatra, perforr, Renly Hall.”
“…Is this a coincidence?” William questioned.
Graham, on the other hand, had a different idea. “We just searched for ‘Renly Hall’ earlier and didn’t find anyone with the sa na. Besides, why can’t actors sing? Everyone can sing. The only difference is whether they are out of tune or not. Maybe he was just casually playing and singing at ho and uploaded it to YouTube.”
William couldn’t argue with that point and instead beca excited, quickly clicking on the link. Due to his excitent, he clicked three tis before successfully entering the familiar YouTube page. After taking a look up and down, William noticed that the video was uploaded last August, and eight months had passed, but the number of views was less than 2,000, and there were only a pitiful 39 likes.
Without any special gimmicks or professional promotion this kind of video will be subrged by countless new videos within an hour, and no one will notice it.
William was sowhat convinced by Graham’s statent. Perhaps this was just a video that Renly recorded for his own entertainnt, so it didn’t attract much attention from netizens.
After clicking on the video, a man holding a guitar appeared on the screen. A milky-yellow spotlight fell on his broad shoulders, and his slightly curled golden-brown hair seed to add a touch of desolation and loneliness. “It’s him! It’s him!” William couldn’t help but exclaim and shook Graham vigorously.
Graham almost felt like he was falling apart. “Look, look!” He could only use this thod to calm William down.
At this mont, the two of them noticed that Renly was actually in a bar, so this was not a casual bedroom performance, but a formal concert with many audience mbers below the bar. From the recording angle, it seems that the person recording is standing inside the bar.
When the strings drew the first note, William’s mind was drawn in. The sadness overflowing from the cheerful lody was touching. After the song was perford, his turbulent inner world could not calm down, but only slowly revolved and settle bit by bit, as if the whole world had suddenly beco quiet.
“My god!” This was the only reaction William could give.
