Arthur didn't want to make a fuss, at least he didn't want to be in front of Renly. The usual ridicule and ranting were the same thing, but when something really happened, he restrained himself.
It was the first time Renly had formally asked for his help.
Although Sisyphus Pictures has not been around for a day or two, Arthur also helped the company prepare its first start-up capital in Europe. Since then, the boundary between him and Renly has been broken. ; but then it was through Andre, through Andy, through Matthew, and today it's Renly who calls and requests.
Arthur's emotions were mixed.
Not moved, not happy, but... sour, a heavy emotion slowly sinking in the stomach, it is difficult to accurately describe whether positive emotions prevail or negative emotions dominate, it is more like a complex, the mind The turbulent thoughts in there were so turbulent.
"When does it start? How long does it take to create a movement?" Arthur hid his emotions properly, but responded with a more serious and serious attitude, without the jokes and mischief of the past; but The slightly tight vocal cords still made him a little embarrassed—it was not easy to completely hide his emotions in front of Renly.
"It's best to have some movement within two weeks, no matter how big or small, as long as there is movement." Renly didn't seem to notice Arthur's abnormality at all, "After that, discuss it with Andre, You can slow down the pace appropriately, because we don't need a direct injection of Wall Street money for the time being. The pace is still up to you."
Renly knew this was a very contradictory request:
On the one hand, they need to arouse the interest of Wall Street, and on the other hand, they should not attract too much interest, and they still need to keep a distance; Getting too close, at the same time, made them think that Sisyphus Pictures lacked sincerity, and then thought that they had been tricked.
This is a self-contradictory solution. If it weren't for Thomas who took the initiative to start the war, Sisyphus Pictures would not have to take such a risk at all. A little carelessness might disrupt the overall plan made before, or even play with fire.
The problem, though, is that Renly doesn't think Thomas is going to let it go—not to mention that Sisyphus Pictures is already on the radar of Hollywood, and even if it avoids this one, it won't be able to avoid the next. Rather than being forced to fight back in a passive situation in the future, it is better to take advantage of the current situation to take the initiative to make arrangements in advance, and instead can gain more advantages for yourself.
"Fairy Wood"
Markets are like battlefields. For this point, Renly did not clearly understand; but Renly knew the game of Go very well. When launching an attack, it must be fully deployed, and only hope that killing the opponent's dragon will end the chess match. , This is an unrealistic idea. Only by pulling one hair and moving the whole body, those seemingly unimportant moves can form a net of heaven and earth.
Now, Renly is about to light a torch in Thomas's back garden. Although their battlefield is still on the front line, as long as Thomas's backyard is set on fire, he will be able to reverse the current passive situation and regain the initiative. This game has just begun, and he is not ready to give up or escape. Since Thomas has decided to go to war, he will stay with him to the end!
When it comes to shopping malls, Arthur knows better than Renly. He pondered for a moment, and the thoughts in his mind sorted out an outline, but he still needs to discuss further with Andre, and the whole plan will gradually become clear, "I Got it. I'll make arrangements."
After the business was finished, just when Renly was about to hang up the phone, Arthur hesitated and asked with concern, "Renly, face off with Thomas, are you alright?"
In fact, Arthur was worried about Renly's performance status, because he knew that the off-site harassment was meaningless to Renly. What Renly really cared about was always the performance work. Now that Thomas is upsetting Renly's work balance and having to be distracted to make a response plan, he's still a little concerned.
But Arthur and Renly never brought up such words. He was really not used to it. A sentence was so dry and tasteless, and the meaning was not quite right.
After the words were spoken, Arthur regretted it. He must have had a fever. Can he take it back now
"Haha." Renly's low laughter came from the receiver, "I'm fine. If I'm in trouble, you shouldn't be the first person to ask for help."
Arthur couldn't help but grit his teeth: Damn Renly.
"But, thanks anyway," Renly continued. "Also, Arthur, you don't quite fit the caring image." Then the call was hung up.
Arthur held the phone and stood there for a while, hesitating whether he should be moved or depressed, and finally he decided to continue to "hate" Renly, "That damn guy, hum."
Sitting on the spot, Arthur's emotions gradually settled down, and he suddenly understood what the inexplicable mixed emotions just now were:
fetters.
It is not simple family affection or friendship, nor simple trust or dependence, but fetters, which connect people together and connect them tightly.
Although Renly is a demon, the bond seems... not bad. Before I knew it, my footsteps became lighter.
…
Hollywood is once again surging under the tide - of course, in the circle of Vanity Fair, the reef and the undertide have never disappeared, the difference is only in the scope.
Judging from the current situation, it is not too big. At least it is much smaller in scale and implication than when the four major film companies linked together at the beginning of the year. People in the industry have also become people who eat melons, occasionally chatting about this action after tea and dinner, clearing the layers of fog, looking for the true appearance and purpose of the two sides behind the game.
For the industry, if it is just a personal grievance, it has not risen to the level of the company for the time being, then no matter how big or top the two sides of the game are, this is not heavy news, it can only be said to be worthless "behind the scenes" ”, even Thomas Tour himself, who is the client, thinks so, completely unaware that Renly’s actions have quietly extended to Wall Street.
In the final analysis, it is actually the overall view and the overall view of the game of Go. Some people can only see five steps in front of them, but some people have already calculated fifteen steps in the future. Thomas's backyard has been ablaze with sparks, but he doesn't smell the crisis at all, and all his attention is still on the level in front of him - it's not that Thomas is too careless or stupid, but it should be said that the blue The layout and strategy of the ceremony should be bolder and more adventurous.
Although Renly's vision of the big picture is still lacking at the company management level, he has an edge over the chess game of blueprint planning that no one else has.
In this way, Los Angeles is quietly surging, and at the same time, no one can detect the movement in New York; the paparazzi are gathering towards Honolulu, and at the same time, changes within the crew are also happening little by little.
The crew of "Jurassic World" officially started without any surprise. Because of Renly's low-key and restrained, he solved the matter in a light and simple way without causing much disturbance, which also made the game between Renly and Thomas. The confrontation was controlled by the cognition of a small group and did not affect the daily work of the crew - which is also the ultimate goal of Renly.
So, the crew started up; at the same time, the movements behind the scenes did not stop, but the changes hidden in the daily bits and pieces were too trivial and too light, no matter if you were in the game or watching the show, it was only a short while and a half. Details cannot be captured between meetings, and it is more of a subtle change.
Most people can only suddenly realize what happened to those strange details in the past only when they wait for the qualitative change to come. Only a very, very small part of people can catch the development of things by chance, and then They caught a glimpse of the nature of the change in advance, and then suddenly realized, but before that, they were also the players who were kept in the dark, passively pushed forward by the essential principles of things, and went with the flow.
For example, Nina Parker, she can spy on part of the change, but still can't capture the real reason, and then she is trapped in her own emotions and can't extricate herself.
Nina quickly walked across the crew, and now the entire crew was enjoying lunch, but she had to make macro-control for the first scene of the afternoon to ensure that the actors and other departments were properly connected, so she was on the crew. I walked back and forth between the different departments of my office. Because I didn't eat, my blood sugar was still low, I felt a little dizzy, and my temper became more and more irritable.
Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the bustling crowd not far away, the faint aroma of coffee wafted in the air, her footsteps stopped involuntarily, and she stared blankly at the noise and prosperity in front of her, her mind was blank because it was too much Tired and unable to think, he just stood there in a trance, dazed with no sorrow or joy. Why did she stop
Immediately afterwards, Nina responded - the dining car.
Renly really fulfilled his promise and turned the luxury van into a public lounge, and together with the dining car that joined later, it formed a mobile and relaxing space for the crew; even more rare, the dining car changed suppliers every day, Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine, Mexican cuisine, Italian pizza or American fast food, etc., etc., the lunch menu that is continuously updated every day is really a kind of enjoyment and has become a major feature of the crew.
But Nina didn't like it, maybe even hate it.
It's their blood! After spending countless energy and time, it has now become a public place? Renly "gives up" their efforts so cheaply, with no respect. This made Nina nauseous.
