One Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty Bright and Open
After a simple self-introduction and greetings, everyone sat down again.
Jake Gyllenhaal's big clear eyes were vaguely confused and dazed. Although they had introduced each other, he still didn't understand what was going on today.
There was a smile on Andre's face, "Don't be nervous. Before I came here today, I didn't know what was going on, and neither did Eaton, you're not the only one. In fact, I've known Renly for over fifteen years. But I still don't know what happened to him."
Jack laughed cheerfully. "Really? I thought I knew Renly well. Isn't he an actor? His dedication and focus are really admirable, you know? Not long ago, I Just watching him on set, God, that strength and tenacity, it was amazing."
Andre and Renly exchanged glances, and now he somewhat understands what Renly means. Although Andre doesn't know much about Jack's acting career, it can be seen now that Jack is another joker. In essence, Jack and Renly are the same type of person, so the content of the negotiation should not be too difficult.
"If you want to compliment, you'd better wait until the client is no longer there, and then you can tout as much as you like. Otherwise, when the client is next to you, you need to pay attention to the proportion of touting, how uncomfortable." Renly said solemnly, Andre and Eaton were both used to it, but Jack was the only one who giggled with laughter.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, cast a smug look at Andre and Eaton, and then cut to business, "Jack, I made a special trip to invite you out today, and there are two strangers here at the same time, I hope You wouldn't mind..."
"No, of course not." Jack cut off Renly's words and waved his hands again and again.
Renly smiled and continued, "Actually, there is a job I want to recommend to you."
Jack was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, as if he had remembered something, and then he couldn't help but waved his hands and laughed, "Don't be like this... You are special... Haha. Jessica and I were on set last time. You are just kidding, you really don't need to take it seriously."
"What?" Instead, Renly was confused and didn't understand what Jack meant.
Jack's smile couldn't help but stop, "Isn't it? Not long ago, Jessica Chastain and I went to the crew to visit, because Ryan Gosling was there too, and we joked that once in a while, we could still find The job opportunity is really worth it..." But as he spoke, Jack noticed Renly's smile, and suddenly realized it, and said awkwardly and jerky, "So, you really don't know?"
Renly didn't answer directly, but patted Jack's shoulder lightly, "No matter what the reason is, you should have confidence in yourself, you are an actor, and I am an actor. I recommend works to you, or The only reason I recommend you to the project is because you are the best fit. That's all."
Not because of friendship, not because of commitment, not because of pity, but because of suitability.
Facing Renly's openness, Jack suddenly realized "Ah", "So there is such an explanation." That simple and honest appearance really made people laugh.
Renly took the "Nightcrawler" script from Eaton and placed it in front of Jack.
"This is a script written by Dan Gilroy. I handed over the script through an agent. I personally like it very much. Although there are more and more scripts in this style, it is true that it can really burst out such terrifying energy. Limited. However, after thinking about it seriously, I think you are more suitable than me. Although I don't want to give up, but only if I give up, I still hope that this work will be handed over to the right actors and let it shine. "
Jack was not in a hurry, but listened carefully to the ins and outs, but looked at Renly again seriously, after confirming Renly's sincerity,
In the depths of my heart, I couldn't help but struggle for a while, but in the end, I was not polite or unfamiliar, and said neatly, "Can you give me a brief introduction? What story does this script tell?"
"Of course." Renly agreed.
Then it was time for Renly and Jack.
Renly briefly described the outline of the whole story and described in detail the characteristics of the character of Louis; and Jack just listened intently at first, and then gradually began to ask questions, about the character, about the story, about the structure, etc., he also Passionate about expressing his opinions and opinions, he has drawn an outline before flipping through the script.
Between your coming and going, in less than fifteen minutes, Renly and Jack completely entered the world of Nightcrawler.
When we first met in Berlin, the two of them were like this. When talking about movies and performances, they always had their own ideas, actively said them, and communicated with other movie lovers. The same is true today.
Because Jack has not read the script yet, so he discussed more through the social reality and ideology refracted by the character. Instead, this went a step further and showed Gilroy's original intention for writing the script - at least with Jack and the way Renly understood it.
"Wow." Jack couldn't help but began to sigh, "Are you sure you want to introduce this script to me?"
"I thought, this project is really suitable for you. Not long ago, those media reporters just crossed the line and did such excessive things. Now to appear in such a work is definitely the best way to fight back!"
"What's more, I think it's really interesting for you to challenge a dark character. I've already begun to imagine the finished product in my mind. Your performance will definitely be very exciting!"
Jack is a real personality, and the excitement and excitement in his expression can hardly be hidden, but he still temporarily suppressed his impatience, focused his attention on Renly, and politely expressed his advice; moreover, the words The sincerity in the eyes and the sincerity in the eyes are not mixed with water at all.
"Thanks for the compliment." Renly nodded lightly in thanks, then met Jack's gaze, "Are you serious?" Before Jack could answer, Renly added, "I mean, you are Seriously want me to play? In other words, Jack, are you really not interested?"
Jack's expression suddenly became jerky.
Andre narrowed his eyes slightly, cast a meaningful glance at Ren Li, and a smile appeared in his eyes——
After more than ten years in the entertainment industry, he still maintains such a sincere and sincere character. How did Jack survive? However, Gyllenhaal is a family of performers. His father is a director, his mother is a screenwriter, and his sister and brother-in-law are actors. Perhaps it is because of this that Jack can focus solely on acting.
So how on earth did such an honest Jack befriend such a cunning Renly?
Renly shrugged calmly, not at all worried about Andre's inquiry, and then picked up his coffee again, slowly waiting for Jack's answer.
Jack seemed to struggle for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "No, yes... I mean, I'm interested. Just from the description of the conversation just now, it's a very interesting script. "After speaking, Jack let out a light breath, and seemed to finally be relieved, and then he saw the faint smile on Renly's face.
Think about it.
Jack came to understand that the conversation they had just now was not necessary at all, it was just spinning in place. Renly knew that the script was excellent, and Renly knew the challenges of the character, but after careful consideration, Renly still chose to introduce the script to him, which was the best conclusion.
There is no need for him to struggle, but to respond honestly.
Thinking of this, Jack smiled again, "Renly, I want to appear in this project. Thank you." In the final analysis, Jack and Renly have too many similarities when it comes to acting, such a straightforward and straightforward Jack , and the very same actor who had a high-profile conversation with Renly in Berlin.
"Even if you regret it now, it's too late." Jack added, but he felt a little embarrassed after saying that. He laughed twice, and scratched his head shyly.
Renly didn't fight back, but turned his head and pointed at the two people on the opposite side, "Reintroduce again, this is Eaton, he is a stylist, and may be in charge of the character's costume selection in the future, but he is a layman. , is still in the process of groping, it can be regarded as a newcomer; this is Andre, the founder of Sisyphus Pictures, the project of 'Nightcrawler', if nothing else, he will take over the work of investment, production and subsequent distribution ."
Jack opened his mouth wide.
Getting bigger and bigger. Immediately, Jack realized that it was not polite to open his mouth, so he slowly covered his mouth with his hands, and at the same time his body slowly began to lean back, until he leaned on the back of the chair, and then stopped, Although he didn't say anything, the vivid expression on his face was enough to explain everything.
"Nice to meet you, Jack." Andre stretched out his right hand again and shook hands with Jack.
"Don't worry, Renly ambushed us all today, and Eaton and I have really limited knowledge of the project, but I trust Renly's vision as much as you trust Renly. I'm asking Renly for this work. I hope he can participate in the production process, and at the same time, I am very much looking forward to working with you.”
Frank and sincere, Andre prescribes the right medicine. In the face of such a pure actor as Jack, Andre did not push too hard, but chose a relatively simple way. After all, it's still in its infancy, and making independent films, he can focus more on quality than on how to save costs right now.
Jack slowly stretched out his right hand and held Andre's right hand, "Wow, of course, this is my honor."
