Before he knew it, Damien's thoughts followed Renly's lead to another dimension, which seemed to open the door to a whole new world.
Damien knew that Renly was sincere and that Renly was right. Maybe if he changed his mind, he could get different results. This should be the best solution at this stage. The reason is not complicated, he can understand it too—
However, Damien still felt a little awkward and lost. Out of the corner of his eyes, he kept glancing at Renly, and the sad and depressed eyes were clearly filled with thoughts.
Regret and embarrassment were hard to hide, and his mind was full of "what if" assumptions, but because he was facing Renly at this time, Damien didn't say it directly, but the thoughts deep inside The surging was unable to stop for a long time, and he was angry with himself and a little annoyed.
Renly laughed dumbly, "Damien, at this moment, my regret and loss are no less than yours, I really don't want to miss this work, so I don't have the energy to comfort you right now, why don't you? Speak openly and honestly what you think, and let's exchange it."
"Really?" Damien looked towards Renly, and then saw a little exhaustion and a little loss in Renly's deep eyes, the familiar bright light dimmed a little, wrapped around The loneliness and bitterness between the eyebrows made Ren Li's temperament lazy.
Damien let out a long sigh, and although he was still very sorry, he forced himself to cheer up after all, "I just think you will shine in this work, you know, your every move has gold in it. The unique temperament of the era is replaced by other actors."
"The original inspiration for creating a story came from myself, but the most important piece of the puzzle came from you. I always wanted to tell a story about a dream. Without you, my dream would have ended long ago. Maybe, Just like Sebastian, I choose to compromise with life, but your success has inspired me and made me truly understand that many times, dreams are not about success or failure, but about passion and life.”
As he spoke, Damien's regrets surged uncontrollably again, so that his voice showed a bit of a nasal tone, and a sense of grievance broke out.
"Through the camera, I can feel your fascination as an actor, and I want the audience to really feel that on the big screen."
Damien's sincere and sincere words made Renly's heart tremble slightly.
Renly understands that the passion that comes from the heart can't lie. Like a flaming flame, it shines brightly. Even in a strange corner that no one knows about, it can still have a world of its own. This is the best and most important part of the dream.
Looking at Damien, even Renly couldn't control it, he just wanted to agree, but his strong self-control still allowed him to control himself.
Damien seemed to sense Renly's move, which made him laugh contentedly, "But... maybe, you're right. The success of a work requires the right script and cast in addition to the right script. Timing, like when I met you across the street from the Sunset Tower Hotel."
"And the timing of this work may not be the most suitable time." Rather than persuading Renly, it was more persuading Damien himself, he let out a sigh of relief, "In fact, the narrative of this work is The focus is more on Mia, the actress can get more room to play, maybe it is not suitable for you, after all, I have already created 'Boom Drummer', this time I hope to change the focus a little bit."
Actually, this is not the case.
When writing the script, Damien completely followed Renly to complete the character modeling. He believed that Renly-even in a limited space, Renly could still give the character enough delicate and deep emotions, and it could be completed with just a few strokes. performance; thus, he consciously left more space for the actress, hoping that the actress would seize the opportunity to show herself and avoid all the light being robbed by Renly, resulting in imbalance.
After all, "La La Land" is a story between two people.
In addition, Damien's nostalgia for his ex-wife is also hidden in the script. On the one hand, he hopes that she can persist in her dream and achieve success like Mia, making her realize that her dream can persist, just like him. On the other hand, he hopes that she can empathize with her. If they had persisted, would things have been different? This "if" is becoming an obsession.
"La La Land" is to Damien what "Love Crazy" is to Derek Doremus. That's why Damien wants Renly to play Sebastian—
Outside of acting, who wouldn't want Renly to play himself
But now, Damien can only convince himself: changing an angle, he can dig out different things, maybe the work can interpret more possibilities, "It seems that our cooperation can only wait for the next opportunity. Renly, promise me that we still have opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"Ha." Renly chuckled, just like Damien, his mood has also experienced a roller coaster experience, "There is no need to wait for the next opportunity, we can now have the opportunity to cooperate. 'La La Land', I'm still going to be a producer, remember? I'm not going too far."
Damien's eyes immediately brightened: to be honest, he really, really enjoyed working with Renly, and the whole process was a real treat.
"Really? So can I send you the script tonight and the song Justin wrote? I desperately need some input right now," Damien said impatiently. Some conversations between Bastian and Mia always feel a little lack of spark; in addition, I am carefully trying to figure out Sebastian's psychological transformation, and some details still need more reference."
"Damien, don't push it too hard." Renly pursed the corners of his mouth and shook his head gently, Damien's lost expression could be seen in the next second, Renly chuckled softly, "You can Sent to my mailbox, but I can't read it in a short time, I'm still busy with work... "
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Damien immediately raised his head and waved his hands again and again, "Because it's a song and dance movie, we need a lot of rehearsal, not only the rehearsal of the song and dance performance, but also the camera position design, including the picture composition. It also takes time to organize, we still have a lot of work to do next, the fastest and the fastest, and it may take three months to start filming, and your comments are welcome to join in at any time.”
With that, Damien stared at Renly.
"OK."
Renly answered in the affirmative, Damien immediately clenched his fists and cheered for himself, the childish behavior made Renly chuckle directly.
When Renly and Damien came back from the detour, Andy was the first to cast an inquiring look: he was still a little worried that he was too hasty.
Renly could feel Andy's cautiousness, and he really regarded him as a glass doll, "Thank you." Renly expressed his thanks to Andy with his mouth.
Although he regretted not being able to star in "La La Land," he sincerely thanked Andy for bringing Damien. In Damien, Renly saw that pure enthusiasm again, which not only reminded Renly that the Don Quixote channel was far more important than he thought; it also awakened Renly's most important Familiar with myself, everything is about performance, and it's just about performance, it's that simple.
Andy was a little excited, but then he could see Renly shaking his head with a laugh, and then Andy saw Damien's expression of regret with his hands outstretched, which made his eyes finally fall on Renly again. On his body, doubts appeared in his eyes.
Renly didn't explain too much, just walked over with a smile on his face, and briefly exchanged a few words. There was not much time left for the crew's lunch break, and Andy left the crew with Damien.
Although full of doubts, Andy remained calm until he left the set, and then he chatted with Damien to understand the whole ins and outs.
Damien told the details of the details in detail, Andy didn't speak, just listened with a smile, and finally let out a breath. Although Renly did not enthusiastically agree to appear in "La La Land", which disrupted Damien's plans, it was good news for Andy, at least that Renly's state was moving towards a positive direction, things are getting back on the right track.
"Andy, is Renly all right?" Damien hesitated for a long time, still slightly worried, "He doesn't look very good."
It's unbelievable to say, the whole Hollywood is cheering for Renly, but Renly, who is the party, has fallen into a slump
People who don't know the reason are afraid to say that Renly doesn't know what is good or bad. How many people are willing to exchange places with Renly and stand on the top of the world and suffer from pain; but this is life. You will always see only the good and not the dark.
Andy still had his usual smile, "He just needs some time. Damien, if you have time, you can call or email Renly more and talk to him about watching the movie."
capstone novel
Damien can be regarded as a direct descendant of Sisyphus Films. His talent and ability have been affirmed by Renly, and he can cooperate more with the company in the future.
"Really?" Damien hesitated. "Won't this disturb Renly's life?"
The smile in Andy's eyes grew stronger, how could he not know who was taking care of Renly's emails, but he knew that Renly would read those important emails after all, and that was enough, "Don't worry, Don't bother. After all, Renly is also the producer of La La Land, and he said that just now, didn't he?"
