One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-Four Melons Are Ripe

"Drunken Country Ballad"? Is it really a "Drunken Country Ballad"? What exactly is going on?

Joel Cohen dropped a bomb directly in the room, attracting everyone's inquiring eyes, but he himself was calm and naturally cast his gaze towards Renly, waiting eagerly for Lanly. Li can give an answer.

The air froze for a while, and Nathan, who was standing next to him, secretly looked at the left and the right, not sure if he should continue to ask, "tea or coffee", because Joel couldn't wait to start cutting. Straight to the point; but it would be too rude if there was no drink, what should he do with it?

It was Renly who successfully cleared the siege. "The guest is up to the host. Let's choose to drink tea, black tea." Renly smiled at Nathan and said, "Just follow my habits."

Renly's habit is: Chinese-style black tea, tea leaves, not tea bags; at the same time, no milk and no sugar; then it can be paired with some small snacks.

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief, but cast his gaze uncertainly at the Coen brothers, not sure if they would accept it, but Renly said again, "It's not the focus for them; For me, this is."

A joking joke immediately made Ethan smile, and then nodded lightly to confirm, "Just follow what Renly said."

No need to explain at all, just look at Joel, who is still unmoved. What drink to choose at this moment is not on his radar at all. His eyes are fixed on Renly, even when talking. During the process, Joel was still firmly waiting for Renly's reply.

After Nathan nodded and left, Joel immediately added, "I'm serious, I mean, we're serious, about the work of 'Drunken Country Ballad', we insist, we still hope that you can play the role If...if..." The following words did not continue, but hesitated, seeming a little worried.

This time, Ethan took the initiative to take over the conversation, "We can all sit down and talk slowly about the salary and the treatment. Within the scope of our terms of reference, everything is fine. The only problem now is that there is too much time. It's urgent, we know that you just finished shooting this work, you need to adjust your state well, and you need a little rest time, but..."

Ethan was also a little hesitant and hesitant, and his words paused for a moment, but he finally made up his mind and said through gritted teeth, "But, we hope to start shooting next week. Go back to New York. It's just that, in this case, are you in good shape? You can adjust as soon as possible; secondly, you might miss the Golden Globes and Sundance.”

"But! But!" Joel interrupted Ethan's words and said eagerly, "We believe in your strength. You know, we watched the video of your performance in the pioneer village before, I mean the most primitive one. One, the first one."

"A chair, a guitar, that's all, and then you play 'Cleopatra', perfect, everything is perfect, believe it or not, that's the beginning of the movie we conceived, exactly the same Really, exactly the same! All the inspirations and images are the same!" Joel said, foaming in his mouth, "Honestly, there is no other choice but you."

"Is that really the case?" Renly inserted a sentence just right, looking at Joel with great interest, and suddenly changed the subject.

Joelton rubbed his neck embarrassingly and said honestly, "No, it's not like that, we've considered other candidates, but, you're the best, it's the truth, it's definitely the truth. Levine- Davis is Renly Hall, and Renly Hall is Le Verne Davis, and you're still one of the big inspirations for the whole story."

Facing Joel's honesty and sincerity, Renly chuckled cheerfully and cleared his throat.

Seriously said, "What I'm most curious about now is, what happened? I thought that the movie should have been completed by now."

In the last interview, the two sides reached a consensus. The Coen brothers had to get into the production of the movie as soon as possible. They couldn't spend a lot of time waiting for Renly. The missed schedule caused regrets on both sides. But now, six months later, the filming of "Drunken Country Ballads" still hasn't started. Obviously, there must be something wrong with the crew.

Renly needed to understand what was going on.

Ethan and Joel exchanged glances, and then saw Joel's annoyed look, rolled his eyes three times in a row, and finally nodded helplessly, as if chasing flies, and waved at Ethan, he He turned his head, avoiding his gaze.

Ethan then met Renly's gaze and explained, "Because of this stupid guy sitting next to me, he told the actor's agent that the actor's singing skills were very good, very good; but his The performance is not comparable to yours by any means, his performance is disappointing and regrettable, completely unresonant. Also said that he is a good singer, but not necessarily a good actor. "

In his sight, Ethan saw Renly open his mouth slightly, and his astonishment and surprise were undisguised. Ethan himself only felt his teeth were sore, but he continued to say, "That's not all, he even Sent a video of your performance in Pioneer Village to that agent and just emphasized that this is what we wanted.”

Disaster, this is definitely a disaster.

No actor likes to be an imitator of another actor, no actor wants to act in the mold of another actor, and no actor wants to be a substitute, and an inferior substitute. For the agent, it was all the more insulting.

Such a blatant expression is completely telling the actors and agents: they are the spare tire, the backup, and the second choice; what is even more frightening is that they will never be better than the original best choice.

This is already the case in the audition stage, so the filming stage will be a nightmare. It is impossible to predict what bad things will be said by the outspoken Joel.

Perhaps, the unknown 18th-tier actors are willing to firmly seize any performance opportunity, even if it is a spare tire; but deep down, they still cannot be happy.

Now, just hearing the narration from Ethan, Renly curled up his fingers in embarrassment; even if he was the sought-after, praised actor, it still felt too weird.

Renly could not imagine how the actor and agent would react. After thinking about Andy Rogers' possible reaction, he suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment. Then, Renly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, although he knew that this had nothing to do with him directly; but no matter what, he was also the party involved. one.

"How did they respond?" Renly adjusted his sitting position and asked.

"They asked us to invite you," Ethan replied, his expression a little embarrassed.

Renly lowered his jaw meaningfully, "They still maintained their etiquette." At least they didn't say "Get out", but it is conceivable that the actor and agent should still be afraid of the Coen Brothers' position in the industry, so that they did not completely lose control. .

Joel, who was sitting silently next to him, seemed to realize his recklessness, but he couldn't help muttering, "But what I'm saying is the truth, Oscar's performance lacks that kind of quality, the kind that belongs to the bard, The texture of a wandering singer, he is a folk singer of the 21st century, but not from the 1960s."

"Oscar Isaac?" Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and then got confirmation from Ethan, Renly pursed the corners of his mouth, "Looks like I should take a detour when I meet Oscar in the future."

Such a playful joke made Joel adjust his sitting position awkwardly, and Ethan scratched his neck, his expression a little jerky.

Now, Renly finally knew why. Obviously, "Drunk Town Ballad" dragged on for six months, and still failed to start filming. It was not because of the crew or the script that there was any problem, but because of him.

Although I was a little sorry for Oscar Isaac, a touch of emotion was still slowly surging in my chest.

Renly had watched Oscar Isaac's performance video of a ballad concert, and his performance was so good that he didn't feel inconsistent with a group of folk singers, or even better; moreover, Oscar's kind of The temperament is also what Renly likes very much. In other words, it's not that Oscar is not good enough, but because Joel has preconceived ideas and has a better candidate, so he is picky.

Just like Alfonso Cuaron at the time, the Coen brothers also showed a moth-to-fire fanaticism and persistence, which is the best recognition of Renly as an actor, and also the best of Renly's actor strength. Good trust.

What's more, the Coen brothers are not Alfonso who don't hear anything out of the window. They clearly know that sticking to an actor's refusal to compromise is a major impact on the crew, the project, and the investors; they also It is clear that a certain actor may indeed be irreplaceable, but a person who plays a role is replaceable.

Despite this, the Coen brothers still chose Renly, and before "Gravity" was completed, they made a special trip to the crew and sent out an invitation. This sincerity is enough to move people.

It is an eternal truth that men die for those who are confidants, and women are for those who are pleasing to them.

From an unknown little actor, step by step to today, Renly finally has a world of his own, a world exclusively for actors. It is not only the harvest of box office or awards, nor the support of fans or film critics, but the recognition from peers in the industry, the most difficult and important recognition.

Interestingly, "Cleopatra" was created and performed in Pioneer Village, which became the opportunity for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg to choose Renly to play "War in the Pacific", and also became the It was the starting point of the album "Don Quixote", and now it has become the inspiration for the performance of "Drunken Country Ballads".

When the song was originally written, Renly had absolutely no idea what would happen next. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
