Fisher looked at the rising newcomer in front of him. Although he had a beard, his handsome face was still a little immature. The invincible publicity and wanton of youth bloomed between his eyebrows, but his eyes were as calm as water, with the same expression as water. The introverted and refined age does not match, it seems that all the brilliance has settled down and merged into every cell of the body, so contradictory and so harmonious, maybe he is not the radiant focus of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, then This intriguing temperament is always able to stand out from the crowd.
It was only at the moment of hearing the Emmy nomination that the twinkle in his eyes revealed the fact that he was not yet twenty-one this year—or rather, that he was just a Hollywood rookie.
Fisher has absolute confidence that Renly can create miracles in his hands, and even become a top superstar, but now he is more curious, does Renly have such ambitions
"But it's just not bad." Fisher's tone changed a little when he turned his words, "It's far from the end, the question now is, in this Hollywood Vanity Fair, where do you want to go? ?" With just one sentence, Fisher calmly took the initiative back.
Renly almost blurted out and answered honestly, but the words reached the tip of his tongue and swallowed at the last moment, looking at Fisher curiously, "Shouldn't I be asking you this question? If I choose you to be My agent, how high can you push me?"
Who is in the buyer's market and who is in the seller's market? Unlike other ordinary rookies, he is not too obsessed with the agent; what's more, his chips are increasing now, isn't he
Fisher raised his brows lightly. He did not reject Renly's strength. If he wanted to survive in Hollywood, he would only be modest and prudent, and he would only have no bones left. Not being aggressive enough would mean not being enough. Ambition, then, has no value in cultivation.
It's just that Fisher was a little surprised, because from Renly's appearance, from the performance of "Pacific War", all signs showed that Renly was a mild-mannered type, but now it seems that the phrase "people can't look good" The words were confirmed again.
"The sky is my limit." Fisher showed aggressive domineering for the first time, and that defiance of everything brought him to where he is now. Obviously, he is not satisfied with this. "The 20 million club , $55 million, Oscar winner, leading actor in 300 million productions, his own work as a producer, working with James Cameron, working with Meryl Streep... only What you can say, I can do. The question is, do you have the ability?"
Beidi Pavilion
Fisher's body slowly leaned back, and Erlang's legs were raised. The posture of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai made it impossible to question his words, and even more impossible to refuse his invitation. Even though the tone did not rise deliberately, the understated gesture was suppressed as heavy as a mountain, which brought even greater shock.
"Ha, what you said makes me almost heartbroken." If there was no rebirth, Renly would have been so excited that he would have signed Fisher directly with gratitude.
But he clearly knows that Hollywood doesn't work like this. The emergence of any top superstar is the result of the right time and place. The agent is only one part, but not the most important part - luck and timing. is the most important. Fisher is just bluffing, but combined with his smooth sailing in the past few years, it is indeed quite convincing.
There was a faint sarcasm in those humorous words, which sounded the alarm for Fisher - a strong character is one thing, and disobedience is another. His arrogance will only bring his own demise, and no agent would like a newcomer who constantly contradicts himself. nobody.
"However, what you said is not what I want, I want to reach a higher level." Indeed, what Fisher said is what everyone dreams of now, and Renly is no exception. Vanity Fair is no exception. The brightest stage, whether it's a siege or not, people who stand outside always want to walk around, but as Renly said, the limit he really pursues is not only that, "I hope to be able to truly integrate business and art. Together. If that's my goal, what do you think I need to be capable of?"
In an instant, the initiative changed hands again, and it came to Renly.
Fisher thought he was arrogant enough, and now when he heard Renly's words, he actually had the urge to laugh. How many great artists through the ages have been trying to combine business and art to find that golden balance, but even if Even masters like Steven Spielberg, Stanley-Kubrick and James Cameron dare not say that they have successfully found the key.
Now, a rookie rookie who is still fresh, actually boasted so much, it was like a baby waving a pencil sharpening knife and saying that he wanted to defeat Sauron in "The Lord of the Rings". "It's an excellent joke, the best I've heard this year." Fisher chuckled, beginning to find the little guy in front of him interesting.
However, Renly did not laugh.
Fisher's laughter echoed in the carriage for a while. After getting no response, it gradually became embarrassing. Fisher's mouth was a little stiff; suddenly, Nathan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, laughed without warning. When he got up, he broke the atmosphere in the car, transitioning from embarrassment to weirdness. This time, it was Renly's turn to smile.
Nathan originally wanted to meet Fisher and dissolve the atmosphere, but he didn't grasp the timing. Instead, he did something bad with good intentions. When he turned his head, he saw Fisher's frosty eyes, and his heartbeat couldn't help but miss. With a pat, he turned his head with his neck shrunk, and sat honestly where he was.
Fisher felt that Renly was deliberately making fun of himself, making fun of himself, which was obviously not a good thing, and his inner anger began to burn. Feeling humiliated, his smile narrowed and his eyes sank, "Do you know what you just said?"
"That's why I said it, isn't it?" Renly fired back, neither humble nor arrogant.
He didn't like Fisher's always high attitude, the lingering sense of superiority between his words, and his words were revealing "I like you, this is your honor, you should bow down to your knees. Show your loyalty quickly.” What he needs is an equal dialogue. Even if he is a newcomer, the cooperation relationship between the actor and the agent has never been the difference between superiors and subordinates, and the two parties should be an equal cooperation and mutually beneficial relationship. Therefore, he did not like Fisher's superior tone.
What's more, Renly in this life was born in a noble family. He is definitely no stranger to talking about "superior" and "condescending", so how could he be frightened by Fisher
"Are you serious?" Fisher paused and asked in a deep voice. Renly did not speak, but pursed his lips. Everything was silent, which made Fisher's face even darker. , "Do you know what the perfect balance of business and art really means?"
Renly laughed instead, "I thought you could give me the answer."
Fisher couldn't help groaning, feeling that his chest was stomped hard. He didn't like Renly's arrogance and arrogance. Maybe, Johnny Depp can do this, Tom Cruise can do this, even if he is dissatisfied, he has to swallow it, but Renly? A fledgling nobody
In Hollywood, there are too many actors who have won an academy nomination, but only one in ten can truly gain a firm foothold in the industry. Don't say that this is just an Emmy nomination, even an Oscar nomination, or even an Oscar winning, is still nothing under Hollywood's huge business system. Compared with the distance from being unknown to being famous, compared with the distance from being famous to being famous, it is just an ant looking up to a giant.
Renly's outrageous remarks were just a joke in Fisher's opinion, so Fisher chuckled, mocking and contemptuous, "I think, before you go any further, you'd better go to the Screen Actors Guild to find a public servant. Agent, let him give you a good lesson. Hollywood is a cruel arena, not everyone can come in and play, and even the qualifications to enter the arena are not available to anyone."
From Fisher's point of view, Renly was just standing at the door and didn't even get the ticket.
"I think this is the end of today's conversation, and our cooperation still has to wait for future opportunities." Fisher still maintained a faint smile, but the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away has penetrated. The politeness and alienation in that social setting couldn't have been more obvious.
"Frank, stop." Before Renly could answer, Fisher gave the order to himself.
Nathan was startled, turned sharply, looked at Fisher and exclaimed, "But, this is the highway!"
Compared with Nathan's fuss, Renly seemed much calmer, he just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then smiled at Fisher, "I think, cooperation is fine, you and I both know, Maybe we won't meet again in the future, will we?" With that, Renly opened the car door and went straight out.
It's neat and tidy, without any hesitation.
Fisher was ridiculed once again, the corners of his mouth twitched, just as he was about to say something, with a bang, Renly was closed by the door, Fisher closed his eyes reflexively, and then realized that His embarrassment, he slammed the sofa, and the boiling anger in his chest calmed down a little.
"And you, Nathan, you too," Fisher said again. "You're fired."
After Renly got out of the car, he surveyed his surroundings. He didn't want to look back to see Nathan's nervous expression. He didn't react for a while, and the car next to him immediately sped away, leaving only a cloud of exhaust.
Nathan smiled shyly, raised his right hand and waved stiffly, "Hi."
