"Buried alive"
Renly was a little surprised. Andy visited the hut three times today. Obviously, the real driving force was the Emmy Awards, just like Fisher, but Andy didn't bring up the Emmy Awards first, but focused on "Buried Alive". This is indeed an unusual path. Still, that's one of the reasons Renly chose Andy.
Renly began to mention the work "Buried Alive", and Andy listened very carefully, and even asked in detail about the script and some details of the shooting, and then put his hands on his belly, just like Maitreya Buddha. , fell into deep thinking, even when thinking, the smile is still on his lips, as if it has become a habit.
"To sort out the situation, this is an independent work, your absolute one-man show occupies 99% of the scenes; then you constantly challenge yourself during the filming process, and the performance is even more difficult than the 'Pacific War', Is that so?" Andy concluded, and Renly nodded affirmatively, "I have nothing to add."
"By the way, how long is the shooting cycle?"
"eight days."
Andy pondered carefully again, Renly was not really curious about these things, because this is the profession of an agent. Since an agent has been hired, then leave these professional and tedious things to professionals. . However, this is the early days of their cooperation. They need to get in touch, they need to understand, and they need to cultivate trust. Otherwise, the next time Renly wants to appear in an independent film like "Buried Alive", how can he be sure that Andy will do his best Going to get a role for him
"What's your opinion on this work?" Renly didn't cut corners and went straight to the point.
Andy raised his head, did not answer immediately, but nodded slightly, "Good thing, to be precise, it's a happy event, the situation is far better than I imagined."
Now, Andy is a little fortunate that Renly has signed with him, not Fisher. In terms of film selection and career planning, Renly is firm enough and wise enough. Maybe it is more troublesome for such people to cooperate, and there is no way to simply follow the "vase" route. The limit is to be expected.
"Remember the conversation we had the last time we met? I think you'd better start with an indie, build a public impression of your acting skills, and then try to win a nomination at an awards ceremony. Next, we can try Some distinctive business scripts, exploring different possibilities." Andy's words were smooth and consistent, obviously his career plan for Renly had already been stored in his head, although Renly had not nodded his agreement until today.
The confidence revealed behind this, quietly revealed his edge - he was so sure that Renly would definitely sign with him.
Andy gave a big smile, "So, we're here now. You've won an Emmy first, and then you've starred in an independent film that takes your acting to the extreme. God, we couldn't have prayed for better. The situation is over." Before that, Andy's perception of Renly was always just a guess, a speculation, but after hearing the details of "Buried Alive", he finally confirmed his thoughts and confirmed own plan.
"Next, if nothing else, 'Buried Alive' should be in Toronto — at least let's hope the quality of the finished product is that high. Then we'll go to Telluride and see those little movies in New York, Rome, and Europe. Festival, by the way, are you British? Maybe we can go to London..."
Andy's simple words revealed too much information. The place names he mentioned have their own film festivals, and each film festival is a carnival feast for movie fans. Among them, the Telluride Film Festival is the film festival that Renly has always wanted to visit, surpassing the Sundance Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival - the former is the highest stage of independent film, and the latter is the oldest film festival , it shows Renly's desire for the Telluride Film Festival, and just imagining that he can participate in it, he can't help but start to get excited.
Unlike ordinary film festivals, the Telluride Film Festival is truly a carnival for film fans, because the main committee does not set any awards, nor does it set any red carpets, and the film festival is completely open to all fans, allowing the film Aficionados indulge in the goodness of movies in this small town.
For Renly, this is a place of worship. In his last life, he had watched thousands of movies, but he had never really found a loyal and experienced movie lover to communicate with. Telluride abandoned commercial publicity, professional authority, and movie viewing thresholds like that, and the way to truly give the choice to the general public is completely the ultimate appearance of a dream.
"If we go into December and our momentum is good, maybe we can look forward to your first Golden Globe nomination. Then, your choices will be very different next." The ambition leaked between the words makes people feel Looking at it with admiration, especially when such a strong word was spoken from the face that always had a smile, it really felt a sense of disobedience.
Andy took the initiative to cut off the following words and clicked. Because he knows it's too early to be happy, the annual awards season can be said to be a chaotic battlefield where thousands of troops swarm, and no one knows how the results will develop until the last moment. What's more, the quality of "Buried Alive" and the level of Renly's performance is still unknown.
Then, Andy changed the subject, "Let's leave the future to time. First of all, we need to start with Toronto." If "Buried Alive" can't even be shortlisted for Toronto's competition list, then all the ideas just now are fantasies "No, we should start with the director first. You give me the director's contact information, he is also the producer, right? We need to communicate and plan well."
Renly had come to his senses at this time. In the last life, the "Buried Alive" awards season had not received any affirmation, not even a nomination. Almost disappeared, so how this life will develop is also a huge unknown.
"I don't know that the actor's agent is still interfering with the distribution of the movie." Renly calmed down and teased with a smile.
Andy said calmly, "If it's an independent film, and it's a film in which my actors take the lead, then, yes, I will interfere with the film's distribution and promotion. Maybe not directly involved in those work, but at least I It can be a matchmaker and let them find a more reliable distribution company.”
It is unimaginable that the network of brokers is so wide; the energy of top brokers is also unimaginable.
"Before Toronto, we still have a major task to deal with." Andy sorted out his thoughts. He had just taken over Renly's brokerage contract. Everything had to start from scratch, and the "Pacific War" and the potential "buried alive" Both are worth further planning, and Andy knows that the rest of the year will be extremely busy, which is a good sign.
"Emmy Awards."
Renly nodded with a smile, knowing that it had only been a few hours since he had been nominated for an Emmy, and he didn't have much sense of reality, "I just heard the news this afternoon, too."
"The 'War in the Pacific' is definitely in the limelight." Andy summed it up in one sentence. With his introduction, Renly finally learned about this year's Emmy nominations.
In the miniseries and TV movie divisions that "War in the Pacific" belongs to, this year's competition was a bit unbalanced. The competition for miniseries was not at all fierce. In the end, only "War in the Pacific" and "Clandford Chronicle" were shortlisted for the nomination. ; but the competition for TV and movies is particularly fierce, with six nominations for "Autism," "Doctor Death," "Special Relationships," "Moon Rover," "Endgame," and "Georgia Oakey." Fu” was successfully shortlisted.
Therefore, in the overall project and the technical project, "Pacific War" has an absolute advantage, but it will face severe tests in the projects where the directors, screenwriters, actors and other mini-series and TV movies merge and compete.
Despite this, "Pacific War" relied on the huge advantage of the technical department, and won 24 nominations, of which the best director, best screenwriter, best cinematography, best visual effects and other departments were all double nominations. The Best Mixing Department occupied four of the five nominated seats. In terms of the number of nominations alone, "Pacific War" surpassed "Band of Brothers" and reached a new high.
However, the biggest breakthrough of "War in the Pacific" is undoubtedly the nomination for Best Actor, which complements Judi-Dench of "Cradford Chronicle" and becomes the mainstay of this year's miniseries— There were 20 nominations in the acting department, only two for miniseries, and 18 for TV movies.
Even among the twenty nominees, Renly was the most high-profile outlier. Only 20 years old, her debut novel, a mini-series with war scenes as the main theme, and a series with group dramas occupying the theme, but Renly relied on delicate and solid, profound and far-reaching performances, successfully won the judges' love and harvested. The first nomination of his career, a blockbuster!

A real blockbuster.
"When you're at the awards show, you're going to be the center of everyone's attention. Before that, you were a nobody, a little guy, nobody knew your name; but now, you have and Al- Pacino and Jeff Bridges are eligible to compete. Whatever the result, you've made it."
Andy didn't skimp on his exclamations. Looking at Renly in front of him, he suddenly had an idea, so he asked casually, "Do you want to win an award?"
"Yes." Renly's answer was crisp, concise and clear, without any detours, and directly expressed his mentality. Even in the face of four veteran actors, even in the face of four Oscar-winning actors, even in the face of long-established and prosperous actors, even in the face of the first nomination for the debut, Renly still did not hold back. , without any hesitation.
Andy's smile fell to the bottom of his eyes, and he nodded involuntarily, "Then we'd better start with suits. The red carpet is where everything starts."
