David Fincher unquestionably displayed his source of passion, even purer than the Coen brothers and Ogus Lanthimos.
"David, do you know Tony Kaye?" This was the first and only thought in Renly's mind - the David in front of him reminded him of Tony Kaye, the director of "Transcendence". In his own artistic creation career, the so-called success is never something Tony cares about. He just hopes to use his own lens to record, present and display, and then continue to explore on the artistic level.
So did David and Tony. It can be seen from the earliest debut work "Alien 3" that David refused to authorize the film, in order to protest that the film company's post-editing completely destroyed his conception and creativity, which also proved David's concern for his own work. With stubborn persistence, "The Seven Deadly Sins," "Fight Club," "Zodiac," "The Social Network," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," and more, all of David's work is no exception.
Whether it's the Coen brothers or Oggs, they all make slight adjustments according to the mainstream aesthetic tastes, and they always find their place in their personal style and mainstream aesthetics in their careers; while David and Tony are stubborn, stubborn and extreme stick to his own path.
Even Renly admires art creators like David and Tony.
David, who was completely in a state of excitement at this time, was interrupted by Renly's brain hole, and there was an obvious pause in his words and expressions.
"...?" There was no need to speak at all, David's expression already explained everything.
This made Renly smile, and shook his head gently, indicating that David didn't need to care, and went back to David's proposal just now, "Why?"
Renly can deeply feel David's enthusiasm, but he is no longer the young actor who was able to dance for the role in the past. The fatigue and sleepiness from the inside out made his perspective and point of view subtle. Change is a change that is beyond your control.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking me to play? I mean, now that the situation has changed, Sisyphus is willing to push this project. You don't need to ask me to play to win sponsorship, you can choose the cast that you like. , I will not protest."
Renly said with a smile, with a little joking, but there was no emotion or excitement in his words, which contrasted with David's enthusiasm.
However, David could understand Renly's state - the previous conversations had all been heartfelt, and he knew what that stagnant predicament and tiredness meant, which made him more excited because it was related to the The role of "Mindhunter" fits perfectly; in turn, David realizes that he has to be more active and proactive in convincing Renly, which is a paradoxical dilemma.
David didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "I was just curious at first. I must admit, I don't have actor superstition, and I always don't think one actor can change the whole work. Of course, actors are definitely The most important part of a film production."
Renly smiled and nodded - obviously, David is a pure director, his work is always centered on the director, and the actor is his tool, the tool to realize the picture concept, so in fact, David has never depended on it. Actors still rely more on their own ability scheduling.
Up to now, although David has worked with outstanding actors such as Morgan Freeman, Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, etc., he can really suppress it with performance. There are no actors who live in the style of David's director, including Kate and Rooney.
However, David also has his own understanding of actors. He personally likes Rooney very much. The cold and detached temperament can show delicate emotions between the eyes, which is completely in line with David's directing style. - Rooney is David's most collaborative actor.
"But then, I watched 'Boom Drummer', I did have some inspiration, and I really wanted to work with you to see it, it should be a wonderful experience. Although your image and temperament are closer to the academic school, but in fact, You've never played a real academy so far."
"The closest screen image would be the 'crazy in love' college student."
"Wow." Renly just sighed. He thought that David didn't understand the work he was starring in at all, but now it seems that this idea is wrong.
David can also taste the deep meaning behind Renly's exclamation, but he doesn't care, "Then because of Rooney, I was looking forward to Rooney in this work, and she obviously has a lot of praise for you, I have to see What kind of actor are you, and what makes Rooney so praised."

Renly smiled directly, but didn't smile.
David could faintly detect Renly's eyes, but Renly's demeanor and movements were impeccable, and he couldn't spy out more things just by intuition, and he had to give up in the end - maybe he thought too much.
"Then today is today. I must admit that your thoughts, your state, and your feelings have allowed me to find the most perfect actor candidate." David didn't say anything lavishly praised, but his simple and down-to-earth language was more able to Feeling his sincerity, "I can outline the picture now, and you are the protagonist. Editing, soundtrack, composition, performance, all the details can be completely pieced together into a picture."
For directors, they measure the work with the lens, and those images are the source of inspiration. This is the basis for David to conceive the work and complete the creation. At the same time, it is also the reason why David is very excited at this time—
The blowout of inspiration fills my mind with countless pictures, and I want to get into shooting immediately. That longing and urgency is surging.
Even David himself did not expect that a meeting today led to a formal invitation. Although there were some intentions before, it was beyond expectations to make a decision so quickly. However, David could no longer care about it now, and his whole body exuded excitement.
Again, David paused for a moment, then looked at Renly. "So, what do you think?"
"Hey! Renly!"
David's voice just fell, and before Renly could answer, a surprise greeting came from the side, interrupting the conversation between them.
Projecting his gaze over, he could see a chubby, chubby figure, wearing a bright orange floral top with a ponytail, but the broken hair on his forehead and temples were still floating in a mess. Like catkins that have nowhere to be placed in the early spring, they are filled with a strong breath of life.
There was a big smile on the disc-like face, and the uneven teeth could be clearly seen, but the happiness and joy between the eyebrows were not discounted at all, and people could easily ignore her facial features and appearance. Just felt a real and pure enthusiasm.
"Virgin Mary, it's really you!"
The strong Italian accent blows on the face - before you know it, Renly and David's footsteps came to Little Italy in the lower/city area, and the people who came into sight were full of Italian style, and gentlemen with hats all over the street , Even the elderly are habitually wearing a suit.
"My sweetheart, you're so cute, understand? How can you be so cute? You look thinner! Definitely thinner! Please take care of yourself, okay? Eat more cheese, Eat more pasta and pizza, and, eat more of Mom's cooking."
"Let me tell you, nothing makes you happier than your mother's cooking. No matter how hard you work, just let your mother cook a dinner for you, and all the tiredness will disappear. I know I know, you must be very busy, If you don't have time, next time I will make a lasagna and red wine braised beef brisket for you! Trust me, you will be satisfied! Look, look, the little pumpkin is really much thinner than before."
"How is it, do you want to go out for a walk today? Well, very good! It's very good to take a walk! Your health is the most important thing! You've been so busy with your work recently, you really need a good rest! Oh, what should I do? I didn't come out with cheese today, Otherwise, I will give it to you directly and let you make up for it!"
"Blessed Virgin Mary, you are such a cutie, aren't you?"
From start to finish, this middle-aged Italian woman talked to herself enthusiastically and eloquently throughout the whole process. The cheerful and beating tongue sound was beating continuously on the eardrum like rolling balls, and even the audience couldn’t help but follow happily. When he got up, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose.
After she finished speaking, she gave Renly another super enthusiastic bear hug, holding Renly tightly with her arms, and then harder—
It was so hard that David began to worry that the lady might shatter Renly into countless pieces.
Just when Renly could hardly breathe, the lady finally let go of her hands, patted Renly's cheek with a warm and generous palm, and said indulgently, "Little Sweet Pie, take care of yourself!" Then, this With shaky and clumsy steps, he turned and left with a sway.
Standing next to him and witnessing the whole process with his own eyes, David was completely stunned, with countless question marks written on his forehead:
What exactly is going on? Why is the whole atmosphere not quite right? Why didn't Renly resist? Who is the real identity of that lady? What the hell just happened? What is the relationship between Renly and the lady? What about those hugs and those slaps and those nicknames
It was so unexpected that David almost choked on his own saliva.
"Breathe, David, breathe!" Renly stood up straight again - the lady hugged him just now, he had to bend over because of the huge difference in height, but even so, the lady was still on tiptoe, this Only then did he reach Renly's neck and complete a sturdy bear hug.
Watching David's terrified and critical attack, the smile on Renly's mouth couldn't help but bloom.
David finally found a breathing rhythm, but he was still choked on saliva and coughed violently.
