"They're not ignorant of all the bells and whistles at Sundance."
Andy suddenly found that he couldn't think, and the words that came out of his mouth were, "Then... what should we do?" The silly reaction made him a little bit on his forehead.
Renly put down the coffee cup. "Andy, what was your first thought when you heard about those plans?"
"You're crazy." Andy answered without any hesitation.
Renly didn't mind at all, and nodded affirmatively, "Yes. Who can imagine that a Sisyphus Films with nothing suddenly pops up, ready to disrupt the industry structure? Anyone sounds like It's a fantasy. Even when DreamWorks was founded, they didn't get enough attention in the industry."
In fact, even now, Andrei doesn't quite believe that things can be achieved, because the difficulty is too great. But Andre is not a personality who gives up easily. Whether things will work or not can only be known after trying; giving up automatically before starting is not his philosophy of life.
What Renly means is that even if Disney spied on Sisyphus Pictures' ambitions, they wouldn't consider it a worthy opponent. Even Netflix has not been able to fully attract the attention of the six major studios now, otherwise Disney It won't drag on until 2017 to really start taking its own streaming platform seriously.
In other words, Renly's answer to Bob's "producer invitation" through "schedule restrictions" is actually a potential statement: Sisyphus Pictures needs to get more attention
Even if Renly becomes a producer on a Disney production in the future, it's bound to be a Sisyphus-Disney partnership. However, Disney will not consider Sisyphus Pictures to be a threat in the short term, but equates Renly with Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, etc., instead of The cooperative relationship between individuals and the company is to strive for more rights and interests through the cooperative relationship between the company and the company. Naturally, Bob is bound to change the cooperation conditions.
If it is a cooperation between Sisyphus Pictures and Disney, Renly is indeed willing to produce several films for Disney as a producer, and then further open up the situation for Sisyphus Pictures, why not? ? While Disney is using Renly, Renly is also able to use Disney, and both sides have their own calculations.
As Andy said, Renly's way of thinking and architectural blueprint have gotten rid of the actors and agents, and Bob can deploy the layout on an equal footing. This is the essential difference in position and vision.
"So, not only will Bob not be wary of us, but he will also adjust the cooperation strategy according to our plan, maybe this will be beneficial to Sisyphus Pictures." Renly added his words.
Andy was no longer shocked now, and paused slightly, "Didn't you say that you lack the big picture?" But why does it seem to be something else now
"Yes, I do lack the big picture. I can only talk on paper. In practice, my ability is zero. It is also possible to directly toss a grand plan into a rubbish with a loss of 10 billion." Renly completely Without being shy and embarrassed, he frankly admitted his shortcomings, "All the plans now look beautiful, but how far they can be implemented is not something I can decide."
"..." Andy opened his mouth slightly, "Then who decides?"
"Andre. Dalmore whisky has steadily increased its market share by 20 percentage points in his hands, and has also successfully broken the elite platform and formed a brand effect. He really took over the management and operation work, in fact, Less than three years." Renly said lightly, "Also, Arthur, Matthew, Eaton, and Alexander will come to help. Oh, yes, Alexander is Andre's brother, he doesn't have much time, But there's nothing wrong with being a consultant. He's a talent!"
Andy didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I think you are also a talent."
So, when he personally rushed to the pioneer village in New York, what kind of monster did he unearth
The amount of information is a bit huge.
Andy fell silently into thinking, patted his beer belly lightly with both hands, and the steady rhythm gradually made his thoughts clear.
In fact, the cooperation of "Rogue One" is basically no problem.
Since Bob hopes to take advantage of Renly's "invincible halo", Andy can also use his strength to fight for it further to see if the remuneration can be raised again. The game can also be played again. But these are small issues at the tip of the branch, and will not affect the general direction of the partnership.
It is estimated that in the next period of time, Disney will release rumors one after another and begin to carry out advanced publicity activities for the "Rogue One" project.
Following Sony Classics and Warner Bros., Disney has also successfully entered the game; and, in the past few days, there have been rumors about the awards season in the industry. Harvey Weinstein and Thomas Tull seem to have come all the way, and they are again with Warner. The brothers have formed an antagonistic trend, and Warner Bros. has begun to make moves for the prospect of "Gravity" awards season.
This also means that the layout for Universal Pictures, Vin Diesel, and Thomas Tour has reached the closing stage.
It took less than two months from the start of Renly's layout to the first results, and it was even entangled with the progress of the awards season to further promote the plan. It is indeed amazing; but things are not here. It's over. Next, aside from Vin Diesel and Thomas Tour, Renly obviously has a bigger blueprint.
Sisyphus Films.
If Sisyphus Pictures can develop smoothly, this will undoubtedly be another improvement for Renly's position in the industry, especially with the support of the independent film field, then Renly's right to speak will rise to a new level, which will also increase Putting further pressure on Universal Pictures, and more importantly, Renly's career will also open up a new chapter.
As for the actor's own job, Andy is not worried at all, no one can change Renly's original intention and original intention.
"So, is there anything I can help you with now?" Andy had completely calmed down at this time, and once again returned to his usual look of controlling the overall situation, his thin eyes narrowed into slits again, and he looked at it seriously. Looking at Renly, "To be honest, even if I can't come tonight, you're going to find me, right?"
"You're my manager, isn't it a matter of course to ask you about work?" Renly raised his eyebrows with a smile and said calmly.
Andy tilted his head and nodded lightly in affirmation, "I'm flattered." But there was nothing "surprised" in that calm tone, and then he said solemnly, "I don't think so now, it seems that After the pirate ship, I always thought that it was me who chose to be your agent, but now it seems that something is not right."
"You can regret it at any time now." Renly's indifferent response made Andy chuckle softly, "If you disembark now, it's safe, but you'll miss out on the scenery of the later journey. What a pity. Pirate ship, I also think it should continue."
Renly pursed the corners of his mouth, "Then welcome to board the ship. Give me a copy of all the projects that the Creative Artists Agency is currently working on, including movies and TV series, and short films and documentaries are no problem."
Even though Andy was mentally prepared, he was surprised again when he heard Renly's understatement, "You know what a huge number this is."
Even now, the number of projects that have been invited by Renly has exceeded fifty, and the projects of the entire creative artist agency have at least increased by more than ten times. Although the brokerage company is not a film company, there are not thousands of projects; but in order to find suitable projects for their artists, they also collect various projects all year round and look for investment opportunities.
The projects I'm talking about here are not projects like "Jurassic Park" or "Rogue One", which are all in the hands of major studios; it's projects like "Transcendence" and "Boom Drummer", which are always in the Looking for investors, through the hands of producers, they traveled throughout Hollywood, waiting for their own Bole.

Of course, commercial works such as "Rogue One" will also be submitted to major brokerage companies if they are willing to openly look for cast members.
Renly shrugged slightly. "No, I don't know. But... surprise me."
Andy let out a long sigh, "Okay, I see. If you need to mobilize resources, you should know what will happen next, right?"
"Of course." Renly nodded in agreement, "If Sisyphus Films decides on an investment project, it will definitely give priority to actors from Creative Artists Agency. However, I am still hesitant about packaging and cooperation. For the details, you can discuss it at the meeting, and then we will sit down and discuss."
It is also Renly's plan to channel the energy of the entire creative artist agency through Andy. Since the plan is to be grand, the configuration must also keep up, otherwise it is just a family wine, then it is just a child's play.
Andy didn't say anything more, "Okay, I see."
"During this period of time, I will take a good look at the script project. By the way, if there is a project worth recommending to me, please bring it together. 'Rogue One' is expected to start filming by the end of the year, maybe even next year. Not necessarily, I'm not in a rush to take on new projects, but I don't mind if something fits," added Renly.
Sure enough, as Andy expected, Renly still maintains a zealous heart for his career as an actor.
After the dubbing of "Super Marines", Renly has no work in hand for the time being, and "Rogue One" still needs to be considered in the long run, which also means that he has at least half a year's free time, and he can choose to rest, or he can Choose to challenge other characters. Renly remained open.
