"I want to come over and discuss with you the next film selection plan."
Andy didn't go around in circles any more and picked out the theme, which is the top priority of today's interview.
As an agent, Andy has many different permutations and combinations in his mind. Planning for Renly's next work, he clearly knows that whether it is a commercial film or an art film, there is no right choice and no wrong choice. , the focus is still on the script and the cast, ensuring the quality of the work, this is the core point.
Then wait for the release of "Fast and Furious 5" to see the market response before making further decisions.
However, Renly has a clear understanding of his actor path, and Andy realized this when he signed the contract. Therefore, before making plans for the next step, Andy needs to have a simple communication with Renly and exchange opinions with each other. This is the basis for long-term cooperation.
Andy's expectations for Renly are not just stars.
"Recently, there have been quite a few phone calls to ask about your projects." Andy's smiling eyes contained a hint of playfulness, and he could even capture a hint of schadenfreude.
There is nothing strange about the phrase itself. With the Sundance award and Oscar nomination, the name "Renly-Hall" began to spread gradually, and with the help of innovative artist agency, the projects interested in Renly grew steadily. The logical thing to do.
But Andy's tone was really worth pondering. Renly's drinking water paused for a moment, which could make the always calm Andy show such a look, and he couldn't help but become curious, raised his head, and cast a suspicious gaze.
Andy sold a piece of shit on a rare occasion, and didn't give the answer right away, which was really rare.
Renly became more and more curious, but he kept his composure, did not break the silence, opened his mouth to ask, and continued to drink water slowly. He slept darkly, and now his throat is very dry, and he needs hydration.
Looking at Renly in front of him, Andy didn't continue to play tricks, and revealed the answer, "'Dawn'."
Renly turned his head, but for a while he didn't remember which movie was called "Breaking Dawn". The point is, it can make Andy look mischievous. This should probably be a spoof work, or a work that deviates in style. Renly tries to think about the corners, but he can't find anything in his mind that matches. described object.
Andy added, "Vampire."
Renly paused for half a second, then choked, but the water in his throat hadn't had time to enter his stomach, but he accidentally choked, nearly squirting all the water out of his mouth.
The noble etiquette education in this life triggered a conditioned reflex, controlled the muscles abruptly, swallowed the water directly, coughed dullly, "cough", but the breath in the chest was still a little disordered, it tasted really sold/soul .
Andy smiled contentedly. It was a rare sight to see Ren Li in such an embarrassed state. The release of this bomb was indeed worth the price of the ticket. So, Andy slowly leaned towards the back of the chair, looking like he was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, with his hands on his belly, and a faint smile appeared.
Renly finally recovered, and looked at Andy in surprise, "Is my guess correct?"
Andy didn't smile, just nodded and affirmed, and then saw a strange expression on Renly's face, half a smile, a half anger, half annoyance, that playful and absurd look is really interesting.
"Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn", that's the project Andy was talking about.
The film, adapted from the best-selling novel, has now made its fourth film, the finale. This series of films has created a lot of history. For example, the harder the critics scolded, the better the box office performance. With the dilemma of being scolded, the global box office of the series of films has repeatedly hit new highs.
For example, it started the craze for teenage novels, after which "The Hunger Games", "Divergent", "Maze Runner" and so on were all derived.
For another example, Robert Pattinson became a phenomenal icon, sparking a tsunami of rabid fans. Even Justin Bieber pales in comparison.
This is really an interesting phenomenon. For the major film companies, on the one hand, they dislike the younger, fancier and vulgarity of this series of films, on the other hand, driven by the supremacy of interests, they also hope to replicate the box office miracle of the series of films, simply and rudely. A couple of teenage vase icons, making big bucks.
But what is certain is that the phenomenal performance of "Twilight" has also aroused the phenomenal resentment of film critics and academics, and some even asserted that in the next ten years, the three leading actors of the film will not be able to enter the awards. Ji's sight - not even the entertainment-focused Golden Globes.
Facts have also proved this.
Before starring in "Twilight", Kristen Stewart was actually a high-profile independent film star. "Wild Survival", "Thriller Space", "No More Silence" and other works have shown good performances Her potential has been favored by many independent filmmakers; but after starring in this series of films, she became popular all over the world, and at the same time she lost her performance spirituality and became "facial paralysis".
Later, with a strong public relations team, Dongshan once again began to return to the field of independent films. The richness and excellence of resources are simply staggering. But awards season still shuts it out.
As for Robert - Pattinson and Taylor - Lautner (Taylor-Lautner) is all the way down, unsustainable.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the supporting characters who have starred in this series of films have been labeled as vases and idols, and they are more or less tied up in the selection of subsequent works.
In fact, this is Hollywood's law of inertia, or social law. Leonardo DiCaprio faced the same predicament after his performance of "Titanic" that year. After spending five years, he got back on track.
Although the industry scoffs at the "Twilight" series, for actors, performance opportunities and remuneration are real rewards, and they can also increase their popularity and open up a deadlock in their acting career. Why not? Your honey, my arsenic, and vice versa. Therefore, there are countless actors who are eager to star in the series.
Just, why did "Twilight" take a fancy to Renly
Renly's expression was a little weird, "Did I do something wrong?"
"Pfft." Andy finally couldn't hold back, and laughed outright, he nodded and shook his head again, which made Renly chuckle helplessly. .
"They're just asking about your intentions," Andy explained. "Your age matches the movie's setting, your shape matches their idea of vampires, and the important thing is that you're well-known now, but you don't It would be too expensive. Lionsgate has a limited budget."
Speaking of this, Andy was a little soft-mouthed, couldn't help laughing, and laughed again, "You should know that this movie will be split into two parts at the finale, and then there will be a lot of vampires appearing, it seems that there is still a scene. The final battle."
"No, I don't know." Renly's blunt response made Andy smile even brighter.
Andy didn't continue joking, let alone Renly, even when he received the email, he was stunned, completely unable to understand Lionsgate's thoughts. Because Renly doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Twilight franchise.
The only reliable explanation is that in order to inject water into the finale, they hope to absorb some noteworthy fresh blood, influential but not too big, have awareness but not too expensive, the most important thing is , the temperament can match their setting for vampires. Thinking of it this way, it's not that shocking that Renly was on their waiting list.
Leaving aside the work itself, this is actually an affirmation for Renly. The popularity, popularity and attention are rising. This is really too rare for Renly, whose two films are both independent works.
"Don't worry, I have rejected them." Andy's emotions calmed down and he regained his mentality to talk about business.
Unexpectedly, Renly shrugged, "Who knows? Maybe I really agreed, and acting as a vampire is also a good experience."
Andy's expression froze, because Renly's expression was too serious, serious and serious, and his eyes showed a light of thinking, making it impossible to tell whether he was joking or not.
"It's like a high school student, performing on stage, immersing in your own world, pretending to be handsome, and everyone looking up at yourself in amazement. No skill, no method, not even thinking, completely Immerse yourself in your own world, that's enough."
After Renly finished speaking, he pursed the corners of his mouth, nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with his idea, "You know, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have also played vampires. This should be good. experience.”
Andy finally understood when he heard "Brad Pitt": Renly was joking.
Andy couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He would never admit that he was almost deceived by Renly just now. He still kept his smile and said with approval, "Are you sure? I can still call them now if needed. I think it shouldn't be a problem."
"Eternal God Emperor"
"Yes, you should give it a try, then quote a good price and make a good profit." Renly didn't panic, and continued to look serious.
In the end, Andy was defeated, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, "The next step is serious..."
Renly didn't speak, but spread his hands innocently, with a sincere expression that seemed to say, "I'm serious, I've always been serious."
One look made Andy choked, which reminded him of when Renly dealt with reporters before, but now he had a good experience of how those reporters felt—it wasn't a good feeling.
"Cough cough." Andy picked up the glass and took a sip of Coke. "Let's get down to business." Andy pretended not to see Renly's sarcastic look, "You also know that the previous conversation was not serious?" Then Going on, "I think there's a role that suits you very well."
