When we got back to the hotel, night had fallen again. This afternoon, Renly watched two more movies, spent more than an hour by a campfire outside of town, drank two beers, and argued red-faced with those movie lovers... If someone hadn't accidentally put the The barbecue sauce knocked over his clothes, and he wasn't planning to come back.

Pushing open the door of the hotel room, he hadn't come back for two days, but he didn't feel unfamiliar at all. Compared with the neat and cold decoration of the hotel, he still felt that the tents and lawns outside the town were more friendly. I went to the bathroom to change the dirty clothes, took a shower and changed a set of clothes. I felt refreshed and did not seem to feel tired at all.

Opening the bathroom door, Renly saw Andy Rogers sitting on the sofa, "Hey." Renly raised his hand to say hello, threw the dirty clothes in the laundry basket, and rummaged through the closet to find the right one. clothes, thinking about which movie to watch tonight.

Looking at Ren Li, who was so contented, as if he didn't exist at all, this made Andy feel helpless, so he could only take the initiative to raise the topic, "How do you feel? Telluride?"

"Wonderful!" Renly gave a simple but positive evaluation without any hesitation. This is the film festival he dreamed of in his last life. All film lovers gather together, regardless of whether they are high or low, rich or poor, and equally knowledgeable. They just simply exchange their opinions and express their opinions. It's all just about movies.

"Sword Comes"

Telluride is a mecca for movie lovers.

Andy could taste the tinge of excitement in Renly's words, which made him smile. "That would be great. I was a little worried, you look tired after Toronto."

"Of course not." Renly picked out a dark blue sweater and a pair of light blue jeans. "Do you have any special arrangements tonight? In the past two days, the word-of-mouth of the 'legal copy' has fluctuated.

When he came to Telluride this time, he thought it was similar to Toronto, so he brought five suits, but only two sets of casual clothes, but the actual situation is somewhat revealed. On the streets of the small town, people wearing formal clothes are really rare. many.

"I don't have any plans tonight." Andy still looked like a Maitreya Buddha, sitting on the sofa with a smile, his warm and bright temperament always made people feel very comfortable, "I originally wanted to invite you to dinner. The..." The next half of the sentence doesn't need to be finished, the meaning can't be understood any more.

Renly couldn't help but chuckle. "You're welcome to join me at any time to watch a movie. I heard there's going to be a barbecue party outside town for a while, but I'm not sure if it's dinner or supper, how about that? Are you interested? ?"

Andy waved his hand with a smile, "I'd better not join in the fun, it's for young people." This self-deprecating joke made Renly laugh outright, "You're not curious, why did I suddenly appear? In your room?" Seeing that Renly had no intention of speaking, Andy could only cut into the subject himself.

"If something happens, you'll speak up sooner or later, won't you?" After Renly changed his clothes, he walked over barefoot on the dark carpet in the hotel room in white socks, holding the pair of gingers placed by the door in his hand. Yellow work boots, sitting down and getting ready to start putting on shoes. That frank and frank appearance made Andy unable to refute, "By the way, I also have something to tell you, before I forget, I have decided on the next work and have already negotiated with the director, if the contract is... It should be night or tomorrow. It will be delivered, and you will have a look when the time comes."

Andy only felt chest tightness for a while, as if there was a ball of cotton stuffed in his throat, and even his smile couldn't help but stiffen slightly, "When did it happen?" This was the only question Andy could ask.

"Morning." Renly slipped his boots in, then added, "Today."

Andy only felt that his temples began to cramp, and his forehead was aching. "Renly, do you know what an agent's job is? Or, do you know how capable I am?" He thought it was necessary for him to talk to Lanly. Li formally talked.

As Renly's agent, he didn't play his role at all. He seemed to be a mere decoration. The release promotion of "Buried Alive" recently was not his job at all, and the college PR for the next awards season could be considered, but It's not time to play yet. Forget the previous "Buried Alive", he missed the process of Renly's selection of works, but this time it happened again, which made Andy feel very frustrated.

"My job is to select works for you, recommend works worth shooting, find people you want to collaborate with, and pave the way for you to become a top superstar. My connections can be spread across six major film companies, and all your names. An independent film company with a name." Andy summed it up as simply as possible, the understatement of strength and domineering makes Renly feel the confidence of a top agent.

"But now, you bypassed my job and went straight to the next project. What about me? Shouldn't you give me full play? I'm your agent and your spokesperson, and it's up to me Come and be responsible for the selection of your works." Andy in front of him was a little anxious and a little aggrieved, although there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was far from his usual appearance.

Renly put on his boots and stepped on the carpet, but he stopped involuntarily and looked at Andy seriously, "Your job is to find the right project for me, right?" Andy nodded. Affirmatively, "Your job is to find projects worth investing in for me, right? Your job is to get more benefits and more room for me to develop, right?" Andy nodded again.

"So, I have now found the perfect project in my mind, and then hand over the contract negotiation to you. Isn't this the most perfect result?" Renly's natural expression made Andy feel that his head hurt even more.

Taking a deep breath, Andy calmed himself down, "Renly, I'm not saying that you got the right project, which itself is wrong, but that you believe in my work and my abilities. Otherwise, you Why sign an agent?"

Renly's eyebrows lifted slightly, and then he understood what Andy meant.

Since the rebirth, Renly has always walked alone on the road of dreams, even Matthew Dunlop, he did not say much, not because he did not believe in others, but because of the miracle of the second life, he did not know how to explain , I don't know how to move forward. During the groping, he has long been accustomed to holding the initiative firmly in his own hands. Coupled with the strong opposition of George and Elizabeth, before he knew it, he had become accustomed to fighting alone. .

"Huh." Ren Li let out a sigh of relief and showed a warm smile, "Sorry, I was too confident."

Without any detours or hesitations, Renly admitted his mistake so calmly, Andy was stunned, the smile on the corner of his mouth fell into his eyes, and the turbulent emotions returned to the usual level again, "So , What kind of work is it? You are so eager to follow it?"

From what Andy knew, before Telluride, Renly didn't do anything at all, but today he suddenly decided on a project. If he guessed correctly, it should be the chance he met at the film festival in the past two days.

"A work that combines 'Before Sunrise' and 'Blue Valentine's Day'." Renly tried hard to find a suitable description, and then thought about it seriously, but he couldn't think of a more accurate word for the time being, so he nodded in affirmation , "It can be regarded as such, the name is 'Love Crazy'."

Andy's eyes lit up slightly. From "Pacific War" to "Buried Alive", it can be seen that Renly's vision for selecting works is quite trustworthy.

"Before Sunrise" and "Blue Valentine's Day" are both literary and artistic love movies. To sum up, this is the type of work in the awards season series; and unlike those drama movies, the promotion methods of love movies are completely different, which can be regarded as introductions. For genre films between art and commerce, the actor's appearance advantages are brought into play, and the commercial market value of the actor is tested. In other words, it can become a bridge from artistic actor to commercial actor.

Even if Renly does not take over this work, Andy will be brewing, looking for a romantic light comedy similar to "500 Days with Summer" next year to pave the way for Renly's actor career. Unexpectedly, Renly has already made it in one step, which is a small surprise.

However, Andy is not too ecstatic, after all, Renly is still too young, and the excellent selection of the two works is probably just luck, not enough to prove the heritage of Renly. "What about the script? Can I read the following ahead of time?"

"It hasn't been delivered for the time being." Renly's indifferent expression made Andy's heart skip a beat - he nodded and agreed without seeing the script? "It is estimated that it will be sent with the contract later."

"Well." Andy pondered meaningfully, "Who wrote the script? Did you talk to the director directly, or did you talk to the producer? Has the production company been confirmed?"

A series of questions popped up like a cannonball, and Renly could sense Andy's concern and urgency, and couldn't help laughing, "I talked to the director directly, Derek Doremus, you heard Have you ever had his name?"

Renly knew that Andy was going to be disappointed. He wasn't a famous director, he didn't confirm the production company, and he didn't even see the script, so he just nodded and agreed. From another angle, Renly would have found the decision too hasty and impulsive. After all, there is no way to appreciate the advantages of the reborn, right

Now that he has said it, Renly decided to detonate the bomb in one go, "In addition, the salary this time may not be too high, because the production cost is only 250,000. And I am not the only actor. The director said that the salary may be at most only 250,000 yuan. 20,000. However, the specific conditions are still up to you to negotiate, he said, there is no problem with box office dividends.”

Andy looked stunned, he thought he was going to have a heart attack.
