Successfully won!
The emotion of joy collided lightly in the chest, and the curvature of the corners of the mouth could not be restrained rising. In the end, he couldn't hold back. He clenched his fists and waved it twice, and finally vented his excitement. .
It wasn't until after leaving the confines of Amsterdam Street that realism came in - he really got the role of Paul Conroy.
When Ryan showed up, Renly knew he was in a disadvantageous situation, and from any point of view, Rodrigo had no reason to reject Ryan. Renly, then, must do everything in his power to make a reason for Rodrigo.
Renly realized that his only advantage was in his acting and in his understanding of the role, and that was his only bargaining chip. Standing at the door, he was thinking. On the one hand, he was thinking about how to win a second chance to show before Ryan made a final call. On the other hand, he was thinking about the role of Paul, how he should interpret it, and how he should act.
When Scarlett appeared, Renly sensed the opportunity.
So, he simply pushed the boat along the way, and then interacted with Scarlett to find out the complete character image of the role of Paul and show this performance. Renly wasn't sure if Paul would see it, but it was his only chance. It's a pity that Scarlett was too smart to see through his intentions quickly, and all attempts came to an abrupt end.
The window left for Renly was really too small, and Renly almost thought he was going to miss "Buried Alive", and he hadn't had time to use all his energy.
But, he won! His first work on the big screen has finally been finalized, "Buried Alive"!
It took nearly seven months after the filming of "War in the Pacific", and he finally got the chance to challenge his acting skills again, and this time he will be on the big screen. On the challenge road of the actor, he has once again made a solid stride. step.
It is worth mentioning that this time, he won this role in a head-to-head competition with the original actor in the previous life, which is even more commendable! Not only proves his strength, but also proves that history can be changed - although he did it once in the "Pacific War", this time is more direct and more obvious.
The trajectory of history is turning little by little, and he is changing the future of the film industry as "Renly Hall". Perhaps, in the near future, not even Renly himself could have foreseen what was going to happen. The stimulation between the known and the unknown makes the adrenaline slowly release.
Of course, more important than the work itself, this is an opportunity to challenge myself and my acting skills, which is likely to be a turning point on the road to my dream.
He once imagined what role he would play and what difficulties he would encounter, but he never thought that the first film work would be able to obtain such a rare opportunity to be "buried alive". Not only was the role extremely difficult, but it was also an independent work, even a one-man show. ! This also means that he can devote himself to the exploration of performances, and use his best skills to see what heights he can reach.
Maybe, as his parents said, he doesn't have any talent. The most important thing in the world is genius, but not all geniuses can reach the top, and he is not even a genius; maybe, he does have performances. Spirituality, as David Nutt said, he can carve out a world of his own on the actor's stage.
But no matter what the result is, he will not regret it, and he does not want to regret it himself.
At this moment, Renly was holding the performance contract "Buried Alive", but that thin document was extremely heavy, which meant that the heavyweight role of Paul Conroy was under Renly's. On the shoulders, the success or failure of the entire film rests on Renly's performance. Although heavy, it makes one's blood boil.
"Buried Alive" is a completely independent film. After inquiring, I found out that the investor is an independent company in Spain. Before that, it had only invested in one film with a cost of less than 500,000 yuan. This time, they gave "Buried Alive" verbally The budget is three million, but this includes the cost of publicity afterwards - the promotion of independent films is nothing more than the film festival route, but whether it is the Sundance Film Festival or the Toronto Film Festival, if you want to participate, you must pay the fee, not to mention After that, the publicity cost of attending the film festival collectively is gone.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the shooting cost of "Buried Alive" is estimated to be less than two million.
An independent film like this naturally does not have an official process like HBO. Just look at today's audition. The Screen Actors Guild didn't even send a public agent to supervise it, so the signing part didn't take the usual route. Rodrigo directly handed the contract to Renly, and Renly could submit the contract to a lawyer or agent for review, and then sign the contract after confirmation.
After the black and white words are implemented, Renly can officially join the "Buried Alive" crew.
Looking at the contract in his hand, Renly thought about it seriously and dialed Roy Lockley's number. The phone rang for a while and no one answered. It was conceivable that Roy was still too busy to touch the ground. Just when Renly was about to give up, the phone finally picked up, "This is Roy Lockley. ." The resolute way of answering was the same as before.
"Renly Hall."
"Renly?" Roy was a little surprised, and said to the side, "Yes, that's all for the documents, fax them over." Then he said into the microphone again, "What's wrong?"
"Yes, I have taken over a new work. The actor contract is already in hand, and I need the union to review it for me." Renly did not hesitate, and simply concluded.
Roy put the phone on his shoulder and recorded it on the calendar on the desktop, "No problem, you can fax it over. What work?"
"Independent work, an independent film invested by a Spanish company." Renly's answer was still succinct without much explanation, but the confidence in his words was upright and upright, and there was no excess emotion just because it was an independent film. No pride, no regrets, no excitement.
"The Age of Rebirth"
Roy couldn't help but paused and laughed dumbly. If other people heard it, they may not have a special feeling, but Roy is different. He knows that Renly rejected the audition invitation for "Thor" and now chooses an unknown independent film. This is really fun.
"How about the salary? Do you need me to negotiate for you?" Generally speaking, actors themselves don't talk about "money", which not only hurts their image, but also hurts their anger, so it is up to the agent to discuss. Since Renly doesn't have an agent, Roy is willing to lend a helping hand.
Renly chuckled lightly, "No need, it's already been negotiated. One hundred thousand."
"Buried Alive" isn't a rich crew, that's for sure. However, as the leading actor, the pay is still a bit low. After all, there is only one actor in the entire crew, Renly. In addition, there are several actors whose voices appear on the screen. In other words, the entire film's The salary budget is almost entirely on Renly alone. If not 300,000, at least 200,000.
However, after Rodrigo and Renly talked, Renly agreed to a contract of 100,000 yuan. The extra funds can be put into the work, and a wonderful work can be truly created within the limited budget space.
Renly understands that if he wants to make money, he shouldn't take an independent film like "Buried Alive", and choose a commercial film like "Thor", even if the pay is lower, he will have a higher income.
Roy laughed softly, Renly's income this time was even lower than during the "Pacific War", and it didn't look like he had received a movie project at all. However, Roy didn't say much, just joked, "It seems that this must be a very good work."
"Of course." Renly's answer didn't waver in the slightest. Roy could feel that unwavering and unwavering focus. Obviously, choosing this work was what Renly yearned for, rather than retreating when desperate. Second decision. "So, is that why you introduced the 'Thor' project to Chris Hemsworth?"
Renly couldn't help being stunned for a while, not understanding what Roy meant, and blurted out, "What?" He knew that if the trajectory of the previous life was followed, "Thor" would eventually fall into the hands of Chris; but why did Roy Would you say he introduced it to Chris
Originally it was just a joke, and Roy had to explain again, "Yesterday, there was news internally that Chris will play the role of Sol, and it is estimated that the official news will be announced the day after tomorrow at the latest. Isn't it because you put 'Thor' 'Introduced to Chris?"
"Why do you say that?" Renly always felt a little strange, but he couldn't give a reason.
Roy also heard the doubts in Renly's words, thought about it, and explained in detail, "Before this, Charlie Hunnam had basically stood out, and Kenneth Branagh was in him and Charlie Hunnam. There was some hesitation between Ning Tatum. Suddenly, Chris was born, and his understanding and reading of Saul successfully moved Kenneth, and finally won the role in one go."
So far, although it's a little strange, Renly can't hear what it has to do with him. It's no secret that Chris has a strong agent.
"But a few days ago, a staff member from Paramount called me and scolded me. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he meant that Chris had read the script in advance, so he was well prepared." Thor 'The script did not have a non-disclosure agreement, but the scripts they sent were all counted, and each script was marked. Not everyone can get the script. I listened to him, and it seems that Chris read yours. a script? So, I'm guessing..."
Roy's words are cut off here, and the content that follows is self-evident.
Renly's eyebrows furrowed slightly, all the details of that night came up, and the last piece of the puzzle was put together, a strange feeling reverberated in his mind, and finally turned into a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "No, I wrote the script at that time. On the shelf, not recommending it to anyone."
Roy was stunned for a moment, then said meaningfully, "Oh."
