"...Obviously, they only see the benefits now, refuse to take risks or try, or hit the Oscars, all the movies are swarming towards the golden statues, and they have completely abandoned their own style and philosophy in order to please the academy judges. Damn The Weinstein Brothers completely ruined the awards season."
"Either learn superheroes, in the year 'Iron Man' came out, I still remember everyone hating vampires and complaining about the vulgarity and cheapness of vampires; then overnight, everyone started wearing hero suits, wearing superman Cape, what's the difference between that stupid look and a vampire? That goddamn Disney!"
"'Gone Lover' - no need to misread what I mean, I love the work, and I love the experience of working with Ben and Rosamund, but it's not what I wanted to do, it's a compromise."
"Twentieth Century Fox, they thought 'Mind Hunter' was too bold and too challenging to try, but 'Gone Girl' had some gimmicks that could be filmed and seen because 'At least there was a story' and then just Those things happened. I made the film in the style I envisioned, but in my opinion, it was just a pre-exercise of 'Mindhunter', and I hope 20th Century Fox will see that there is still an audience for such a story."
"but… "
However, "Gone Lover" achieved great success, but it still failed to impress 20th Century Fox, Netflix or HBO. "Mind Hunter" was still excluded from the two sets of tights, and David still failed to impress 20th Century Fox. Like a beggar, begging and begging everywhere.
Outrageous!
David's anger can be deeply felt inside and outside of his words, and he can even see the anger that is burning in his chest, rising uncontrollably.
Then Renly took over, "Like two tights."
David's eyes lit up, "Yes! It's like two sets of tights!" This is really a more apt and accurate description, which made David clapp his hands and laugh in a refreshing way, and then he couldn't help shaking his head. Whispered twice, "Tights, tights," and the smile rose once again.
When he came back to his senses, David noticed Renly's gaze, and his expression was slightly embarrassed.
But Renly just pretended not to see it—first he leaked his thoughts, then David yelled, and the two of them acted a little bit abnormally, just back and forth to even out.
"Early last year, I mentioned it with Robert Redford, Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen when they met at Sundance. Obviously, we didn't want to wear tights." Blue Li said jokingly, made a light-hearted relief for David, and continued to deepen the conversation.
David looked at Renly with a half-smiling smile, "Are you serious? You, Joel, Ethan and the others have already taken the golden statuettes, and you have taken two." There was inevitably some resentment between the words. —
Complaining about the Oscars is one thing, but not complaining about the Oscars themselves, but complaining that major studios refuse to open their eyes to cater to the tastes of the Oscars, which makes the film production market more and more boring, and naturally, the Oscars are the same. And that's what made it so exciting after "Boom Drummer" broke the ice earlier this year.
But in fact, as far as the Oscar itself is concerned, this is still the highest affirmation in the industry, and David also hopes to be affirmed - under the condition of insisting on his own style and characteristics, so that works such as "Social Network" or "Seven Deadly Sins" can be affirmed. Undoubtedly a goal of his career.
"Gone Lover" had a chance, but he was left behind again in the second stage of the awards season. David's grief and anger can no longer be described in words.
Therefore, for Renly and the Coen brothers, David will inevitably have some resentment and envy, especially Renly, he relied on himself to the end. It is no exaggeration to say that Renly is the only one in the entire Hollywood film industry who still has his own style, and different styles can persuade film companies to buy it. He has truly conquered Hollywood with his talent and ability. That's what makes him special.
But the complaints returned, David still maintained a good attitude, shook his head left and right, and said, "Well, if it's you and the Coen brothers, it's acceptable."
This made Renly a little dumbfounded.
"So, is that why you set up Sisyphus Pictures?" David recalled Rooney's words again.
Renly nodded affirmatively. "We're trying to survive and defend our perseverance, and then we have to come together."
David now finally believes, not only because of Renly's words, but because the context from beginning to end can fit together, if this is a scam, and Renly is a fraudster comparable to the "Wolf of Wall Street", so big. Wei also admits to planting—
Because deep down, he also hopes that this is true; because he really needs allies urgently, otherwise the future of this road is too confused, and he does not know what to do; because he also refuses to despair and looks forward to It seems that Hollywood can really seize a glimmer of light, so that the film industry can still persevere.
Raising his head, David's eyes fell on Renly once again. Now he can finally understand Don Quixote's mentality. The joy and happiness that he finally found a companion after a long walk alone is indescribable in any language. , just want to be immersed in it like a moth to a flame.

Even if all this is just a short-lived dream, just like the "Hollywood Dream", I know that only the best, sweetest and happiest parts are shown under the bright spotlight, and the reality is bound to be more cruel, but I am still willing to deceive Just believe it yourself.
What's more, all this was not a dream, because Renly was still holding on - it was so beautiful that it didn't feel realistic, so that people began to doubt it.
"Then you have to play 'Mind Hunter,'" David blurted out.
Renly looked confused, "What?" Where is this and where? Throwing out a heavyweight without warning, the topic can't be connected.
David had to explain further, "You are now in a state of confusion and fatigue, unable to take any interest; but the 'Mind Hunter' can help you, just as the 'Zodiac' and the current 'Mind Hunter' helped me ."
Renly frowned and laughed dumbly, "No, I don't think so, David, I'm not you..."
"No, you didn't understand what I meant. It should be said that I didn't express what I meant clearly." David was a little excited, and his words were a little confusing.
David paused, took a deep breath, regained control of his emotions, and then said, "I know our styles and genres are not the same, but first of all, you must admit that you have not shot a crime theme work so far. , and psychological suspense, this is a whole new challenge."
Renly pursed his lips. He originally wanted to say that "Buried Alive" is a type of thriller and suspense, but when you think about it, crime and psychological suspense are indeed different types, and there are many differences in performance styles and character descriptions; moreover, "Soul Hunter" It was indeed different from "buried alive", so he closed his mouth.
"Secondly, the role of 'Mind Hunter' is completely tailored for you, for you in the current situation! Although this was not our first choice when we conceived the script, we are looking forward to finding a more bookish and more A friendly actor, but that's how things got us here, so why don't we embrace unexpected developments like this." David was really excited, speaking at a significantly faster rate.
"He is a very bookish figure, he has a talent, a talent for reading the psychological changes of criminal suspects, he is good at communicating with criminals, but not good at physical conflict, so he is very suitable for teaching. This also means that, on the one hand, he understands His talent can bring something, but on the other hand he is trapped in the teaching building, lost and confused, not knowing what to do, not sure where he can go."
David looked Renly up and down, and gestured with his eyes, as if to say: I agree with you 100%.
That look made Renly smile, but he didn't interrupt David and let him continue.
"When he debuted, he was a blank slate, groping from the beginning, and as the story progressed, he matured a little bit—wait a minute, you know what the core content of this show is, right? Simply put, It's the establishment of criminal psychology, especially for serial killers; but it doesn't matter if you don't know it, focus on characters!
"He began to grope and build the entire criminal psychology system! In the process of theory and actual combat, he gradually matured, and his talent gradually came into play, and finally really shined. At the end of the first season of the story, his talent still will be the Achilles' heel that trips him..."
Having said that, David paused suddenly, looked up at Renly again, "What are you thinking?"
Very suddenly!
Renly replied casually, "'The Social Network.'" In the movie "The Social Network·, the rapid pace of speech and sharp editing undoubtedly left a deep impression.
Normally, David speaks at a normal speed, nothing special, but just now, the soaring speed reminded Renly of that movie.
David thought for a while, tilted his head, and there was a hint of joking in his eyes, as if he was saying: It seems that we are standing in the same state now, and you are entering my world; but on the surface, he did not commented, then went on to say, "My point is that the content and pacing of this show fits your situation perfectly, you're exactly the hero, the only difference is that he's exploring criminal psychology, and You're exploring acting."
"Look, Renly, you can start from scratch, from a youthful and even restrained performance state, and then gradually adjust to yourself and the role of the state, and finally find yourself, but lose yourself, this is a The performance process is also a growth process and a healing process at the same time." David's eyes brightened, and he almost danced, but he still suppressed his urge.
