One Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty-Two Start the Layout
After the production of "Boom Drummer" was completed, the Coen brothers sent a very formal invitation to Renly, hoping that the independent film could go to Sundance; at the same time, they also hoped that Renly would go to Sundance to cheer and strengthen the independent film. .
Of course, Sundance, like the three major European film festivals, must screen the quality of the participating films. Only the works with excellent quality can be shortlisted for the main competition unit. In addition, there are other units for more independent films. People provide a platform to express themselves.
The Coen Brothers invited Bursters early, and Damien Chazelle's post-production has not yet been completed, obviously because of Renly's influence, regardless of the quality of Bursts, they all Hope to invite Renly to Park City to promote Sundance.
With the increasing popularity of Marvel movies, the entire film market environment is now becoming less and less friendly to independent films and art films - I mentioned before, "Superhero bodysuits in summer and Golden Man bodysuits in winter" , these two sets of tights tightly wrap the entire market, and it is really difficult for other movies to find more living space outside of this.
Even top directors such as the Coen brothers and David Fincher are no exception, let alone those new generation or little-known directors?
This year, the Coen brothers negotiated with Robert Redford, and they decided to hold a special screening unit of their own director's works at Sundance to watch all the works of the Coen brothers in series. They will also appear at the viewing site to meet with fans, directors, The writers, etc. started face-to-face conversations, hoping to attract more audiences to Park City.
Among them, the "Drunken Country Ballad", which created a box-office miracle, is naturally the top priority. They also hope that Renly can appear in the Park City screening site in person, for the movie platform and the Sundance platform. This is a very, very important opportunity for independent films.
Before collaborating on "Drunken Country Ballads", the Coen brothers had already begun to think about this possibility. Now that the first cooperation between the two parties is happy and successful, they naturally hope to go further and make Renly an important member of the independent film field. , and can even pull Sisyphus Films into their camp, looking forward to more support for film art creation.
In fact, it's not just Renly.
The Coen brothers also hope to send invitations to Ryan Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Chastain, Rooney Mara and others through Renly, hoping that they can take their new work to Sundance It doesn't matter if you don't participate in the main competition, it only needs to be shown in Park City, and that's enough.
This is a huge plan!
For Damien, on the one hand, it is great news,
The original desire to make "Boom Drummer", he hoped to be able to appear on the stage of Sundance, and now it is so easy to achieve; on the other hand, there is huge pressure, he does not want his work to be screwed up , that's the real disaster.
Apparently, Damien was looking forward to a trip to Sundance early on.
Facing such a situation, Renly is really hard to refuse.
But recently the situation is so special, Paul has just recovered, and "Interstellar" has not finished filming, Renly still has no way to predict in advance whether he will appear in Park City on time.
Everything is pending. This is not a perfunctory statement.
Now facing Andy's rhetorical question, Renly could only remain silent.
Andy didn't hear the answer on the other end of the phone, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, but he didn't ask further, but returned to business, "Aren't you supposed to be on your way to the crew now? Why did you call me? ? Is there anything specific?"
Clearly, Renly was not a character who called or communicated a lot.
Renly wouldn't even care if it was just an ordinary question that Nathan didn't take the initiative to bring up; and once he took the initiative to call Andy, it meant that there must be something serious, and probably something important.
"I need Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham to be the producers of the 'Fast and Furious' series." Renly didn't hesitate, and just said the idea that had been in his mind for a long time.
"Cough cough." Nathan, who was driving, almost choked on his own saliva. Renly would have been a blockbuster if he didn't say anything, and said something so shocking in an understatement; even though Nathan had worked for Renly for so many years, he was constantly unable to keep up with Renly's rhythm of thinking.
Renly raised his eyes, looked into the rear-view mirror, and asked calmly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" As if he had no idea what blockbuster he had just thrown.
Nathan shook his head again and again, "It's okay, it's okay!"
Andy on the other end of the phone was not as rude as Nathan, but he also opened his mouth slightly, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Do you know what that means?
Do you know how exactly this needs to work?
Do you know what the implications of this power struggle will be?
Do you know how Universal might react?
You know that means going to war with Diesel?
you know……
There were countless question marks in his mind in an instant, but in the end Andy suppressed them all, because he knew that the answers to all these questions were yes, and Renly knew exactly what his words meant, and he would create What waves, what consequences will it bring.
Even more clearly than Andy thought.
After all, Renly's family background is there, and he is all too familiar with these intrigues and intrigues, isn't he?
Those questions just made him even more stupid, but... Andy couldn't help but ask, "Renly, are you really sure?"
"Yes." Renly's answer was still simple, clear, and neat, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation, and without even raising the end to emphasize his position.
Andy shook his head gently, both helpless and funny, and then let out a long breath, "Very good, tell me all your thoughts."
From a certain point of view, Andy had already prepared for the arrival of this day, and even he was still vaguely looking forward to the arrival of this day.
Since he entered the actor industry, Renly has never taken the initiative to attack. He is devoted to the world of acting. Everything is only related to acting skills. In the face of Diesel's attack, he is only passively defending; The challenge of remuneration, he is just sticking to the bottom line; facing the squeeze from large film companies, he is just sticking to himself...
He is a pure actor.
But for brokers, this is really a pity. Because Renly has more power and more influence, he can make more waves at the top of the pyramid.
To be clear, this is not necessarily about using one's abilities for personal gain, but about taking more initiative in the filmmaking industry: for example, going to Sundance to create more opportunities for independent films; for example, expanding Heather -The influence of the Cross Foundation helps more people; for example, cooperating with friends such as Paul and Ryan to film script projects that interest them...and so on.
These are additional influences that are separated from the performance level: simply "opinion leaders."
Now, Renly, who has always been passively defending, has finally taken the initiative to step out of the comfort zone of the actor, which is great news for Andy.
"Simply put, literally, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham are the producers of the series, and I need them to have more power." Renly repeated his words, not too much. Many changes.
Andy savoured it carefully, "Or, to share the influence of Vin Diesel in the crew."
"Yes, in addition to the series of movies, you can suggest that Dawn and the others start a rumor for their characters. If necessary, I don't mind a cameo role or even become a nominal producer." Renly's words were still reserved. Expressed his position: he still will not affect his performance work for those trivial matters, and the so-called "active attack" is still limited.
"A rumor?" Andy thought this was a very interesting proposal.
Renly nodded, "I mean, what's Fan's greatest fear? His power is diminished, his role in the series is diminished, his machismo can't stay strong any longer... So, we Just responsible for making his nightmare come true."
There was a piercing sharpness and coldness in those understated words.
Nathan raised his gaze, glanced at Renly through the rearview mirror, and shivered. He deeply believed that Diesel never seemed to understand what object he had provoked, and even after so many things in the past, Diesel still couldn't really understand.
Renly noticed Nathan's gaze, raised his eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then withdrew his gaze and continued, "Not just Dwayne and Jason, but Michelle as well." Renly The words paused a little here, "Andy, you can ask, if I guessed correctly, Michelle has always hoped to be a producer and play a more important role in the script story, then, we Why don't you help her?"
"Whether Michelle wants to be a producer, I have no way of knowing, I don't have much contact with her agent; but I can be sure that Michelle is not satisfied with the status quo of the crew." Andy put his left hand again On top of his beer belly, he suddenly became excited, "How did you know that?"
"She and Fan are friends?" Renly raised his tail.
Things cluster together and people are divided into groups, no matter what region or field they are in. Michelle and Diesel can be friends, not because Michelle is attached to Diesel, but because Michelle and Diesel are essentially the same kind of people, but because of gender Differential treatment makes their career paths in Hollywood present a different state.
Andy nodded slightly, "I have no way to refute."
