"Carol." Renly offered his opinion.
Rooney raised her eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "Oh? Why?"
"Because it fits." Renly gave his professional opinion.
"The character of 'Carol' is a young girl full of uncertainties. In the 1950s, she has her own dreams, but she is forced to choose a job to make a living due to social pressure. The flame of her has never been extinguished. Her doubts, her struggles, and her confusion are more from the shackles given by the entire era and the entire society. This is a very complex and delicate emotion, even if love aside , she is also a character with a story."
"The character of 'Brooklyn' is a young girl with a quiet life, whether she is going to New York or returning to Ireland, she has a good vision for life. She chooses to stay, chooses to go back, in the final analysis, she is looking forward to happiness , nostalgia and love are her different interpretations of life. I personally think that there is less room for the role to play. Of course, this also means that the difficulty of the performance may be relatively less complex."
Then, Renly raised his eyes and looked at Rooney quietly, "I think you can play two roles, and you can interpret the differences between the two roles, but the point is, your temperament and image are more It is suitable for the former. At the same time, you are the young actor who can interpret the former with that unique temperament."
The corner of Rooney's mouth rose slightly, but she still maintained an objective and professional attitude, "I thought you would use the aggressive method, and then guide me to choose the former."
"No, it's not necessary." Renly laughed dumbly, "If the performance can continue to challenge the peak, then it will be better. But in the final analysis, performance should be a process of enjoyment, just challenge for the sake of challenge, even if it breaks through, There's nothing to be happy about, is it?"
Rooney didn't speak, but tasted it carefully.
To be honest, Renly has gone farther than Rooney, and even farther than most actors, in the road of exploration and exploration of acting skills, but they are still immersed in the self-breakthrough and self-exploration stage of challenging roles, while Renly has already Saw a higher level of performance soul. This really gave Rooney a lot of inspiration.
But just talking on paper, Rooney can't fully understand Renly's perspective. After all, she has not reached the height of Renly; but Renly's words brought inspiration, which made Rooney eager to try. It's just that Rooney didn't blindly follow Renly's advice. Instead, she lowered her head and started to read the script in her hand, studying it herself.
She needs to choose works based on her own understanding and perception, rather than simply following Renly's arrangements. Renly can give advice and guidance, but she can't stand in front of the camera for her to complete the performance; what's more, Rooney herself is always groping for the road of performance, and she hopes that she can create a world of her own.
In the end is "Carol" or "Brooklyn", this is her decision.
So, halfway through the conversation, it was suddenly cut off abruptly, Rooney didn't give any response, leaving a blank space, and entered the world of the script like this; and Renly didn't seem surprised, watching Rooney begin Read the action of the script, and then pick up another script again and continue to read it.
The discussion in the room only sounded for a moment, and finally calmed down again. Only the jazz syllables interlaced with saxophone and clarinet flowed slowly in the air in the middle of the night, but it was filled with a faint warmth, which made people feel comfortable. And immerse yourself in it.
Going through the script mountain is a very, very large project, and it can't be completed in just one week or two weeks. What's more, Renly has to participate in the dubbing work of "Super Marines" during the day, leaving only time for script reading. At night, the progress is even slower. Fortunately, things are not in a hurry for the time being, Andre is still busy, and there is still a lot of things to be done in the early stage of Sisyphus Pictures.
Arthur has arrived in Los Angeles.
Renly called Arthur himself, sketched a blueprint for Sisyphus Pictures, and made a formal request for help.
Arthur agreed.
Later, Edith made a special call to Renly and said gloatingly, "Hahahaha, father is mad! After Arthur left London, their parties and banquets suddenly turned into a mess, and now don't talk about hosting private It's a party, and even socializing is a problem. Oops, what to do, it's so funny."
The daily life of aristocrats, one breakfast, one afternoon tea, one theatrical performance, these small gatherings are social occasions, then in these gatherings, choose tea sets, arrange activities, meal arrangements, seating arrangements, leisure activities, venue cleaning, furniture layout The details of the party, etc., are all a matter of knowledge. How much aristocratic education, how much cultural knowledge, and how much culture and wealth accumulated by the family are all exposed inadvertently.
Prosperity comes from showing off; aristocracy settles under the surface.
After the lack of Arthur, now the Hall family can only rely on the housekeeper Philip Demba to arrange, but Philip's contacts and abilities are limited after all, which immediately shackles the Hall and his wife's hands and feet.
Although the scope of Arthur's activities has begun to expand in the past year, and the situation has gradually opened up, his base has always been in London, which also makes the Halls turn a blind eye and occasionally have some conflicts , is still under control; this time Arthur left Europe directly and went to North America, and the nature of the matter was obviously different.
"They can call me to protest." Renly said lightly, he believed that George must have intimidated Arthur, and the scene would not be too good, but Arthur never mentioned it, if it wasn't for Edith Hold on, Renly is probably still in the dark.
Edith was still overjoyed, "He dare not. He is a smart man, and he will never humiliate himself in front of you." Edith's voice was full of joy, "Oh, to be honest, I Really really hope he calls you, that scene must be very exciting. If he is really so stupid, you must tell me the content and process of the call, okay?"
"Edith, being with Mr. Evans made you bold." To dare to spy on gossip so blatantly, at least he would pretend to pretend before.
Edith could hear the ridicule in Renly's words, the sense of crisis immediately stimulated her animal instincts, she became vigilant, and secretly exclaimed badly, how could she forget that this is a great demon king of chaos, "Cough cough!" Edith cleared her throat and immediately changed the subject, "Is there anything you need me to help with? You know, I know a lot of people in Hollywood."
"Hmm. Okay. Andre will contact you." Renly responded without any courtesy.
Because it was so crisp, Edith couldn't help choking, "...you're just there waiting for me to step on the trap, right?"
Renly raised his eyebrows, "Why, you don't want to help? When did you start using social politeness?"
Edith gritted her teeth secretly, "Sebastian, you are a devil! Devil!" After speaking, Edith hung up the phone directly and threw the phone aside. Throws Renly away from the plane.
Arthur, who arrived in Los Angeles, did not meet Renly directly, not even on the phone, but joined Andre and started to get busy.
"Eternal God Emperor"
The way Arthur and Renly get along is still different from Edith after all.
Meanwhile, Renly flew quietly to Berlin.
After completing the voice acting work on "Super Marines", Renly traveled to Berlin for the film festival accompanied by Matthew Dunlop.
At this time, all eyes were on the excitement of the awards season, and Renly's actions were also under the watch of many paparazzi, but Renly and Matthew's trip together seemed to be a trip to the film festival with friends. , there are not too many abnormalities, the news reports paid attention to it, but the follow-up did not keep up.
Even when he went to the Berlin Film Festival, Renly still carried a large number of script projects in his suitcase, and he still did not forget the arduous task during the overseas trip; however, on this trip to Berlin, Renly had other major tasks. Hope to meet Dieter Koslick face to face and exchange opinions.
It would be great if it could win Dieter's support, creating more possibilities for building streaming platforms in the future; even if there is no way to get Dieter's full help, Renly is looking forward to the Berlin Film Festival's work, one day A streaming platform that can land on Sisyphus Pictures.
Sadly, neither of these things went well.
Dieter also represents the conservatives of today's film industry, who have always believed that movies should belong to the big screen, not online streaming.
Even though Renly has repeatedly stressed that he does not want the film to leave the big screen, but rather that independent art works that cannot find a distributor can get a platform for self-presentation; but Dieter still maintains his opinion, he still insists , the Berlin Film Festival is a platform for showcasing works. If you can find distributors, it would be great, but if you can't, it also means that those works are still not able to find Bole, and they will not be placed on streaming media platforms. There will be too many changes.
At the end of the day, Dieter leans toward a conservative strategy, refusing to let streaming disrupt the traditions of the Berlin Film Festival.
Berlin is still the same Berlin.
The blueprint of Sisyphus Pictures' ambitions had just started and encountered its first minor setback, which at least proved that Renly's idea was still too idealistic, and the problems that need to be faced in the actual operation process are far more than that.
On the trip to Berlin, Renly and Matthew ended up returning empty-handed, with no progress at all.
