Renly gave a solution, but Joel Cohen showed a look of disgust, his eyes fell on Andy lightly, without too much emotion, and then dodged away and looked at Renly again .
Needless to say, just one look and one expression are vivid enough to show Joel's resistance vividly.
Andy, who was standing on the side with an innocent face, spread his hands to show his innocence.
Ethan Cohen is still better at dealing with interpersonal relationships. He noticed Joel's gaze and quickly added, "We are more inclined to talk to you face-to-face. You know, after a lot of things go through an agent, it starts to get complicated. It's starting to get easier."
The so-called complexity and the so-called simplicity actually mean the same thing: interests come first.
After all, the thinking angle of the agent is different from that of the actor and director. Therefore, the Coen brothers obviously resisted communicating with the agent, and then relayed the news. The originally clear things may also breed variables, and the originally simple things may also be becomes complicated.
This explains why the Coen brothers always refuse to communicate with Andy. These two directors who are enough to make waves at independent film festivals, their style is indeed maverick; but this is not surprising, their film work has already said it all.
Going further, Ethan's words also revealed a message: not a private matter, but a public one.
"It's better than this." Joel is still the impulsive one. After an idea popped up in his mind, he immediately expressed it, "Let's talk in the car and go to the airport together, not only will we not waste your time, And you can also finish the conversation by the way.”
Ethan added immediately, "As long as you don't mind. We promise our conversation will be over by the time we get to JFK. Hopefully it won't be too rude."
Things started to get interesting, Renly showed a big smile, nodded, and politely extended the invitation, "Of course, welcome, it's my pleasure."
...
The black van moved slowly and smoothly through the Manhattan car line. There was a quiet silence in the spacious interior space. Roy and Nathan sat in the back row, and Andy sat in In the passenger seat, the eyes of the three of them all project towards the three people in the middle—
In the row of seats facing the car door, Renly is on the right and Ethan is on the left; Joel is sitting behind Ethan, but his whole body is stretched out, his hands are on his knees, and his eyes are staring. Renly, the whole pose is very aggressive.
However, no one spoke in the entire carriage, including Joel, who seemed to be stuck in an embarrassing situation. Everyone was looking for an opportunity to speak, but never took the first step. That kind of jerky atmosphere quietly spreading. Even Andy and Roy were full of question marks and became more and more confused.
At this moment, the most comfortable and most comfortable, it is estimated that only Renly is alone.
"So, in the car today, which one of the beauties is going to participate in the beauty pageant?" Renly said lightly and calmly, pretending to be calm, but the faint smile hidden in his voice could not help overflowing.
Such an inexplicable sentence made everyone look at each other, and looked at Renly with question marks all over their heads, not understanding the meaning at all, except for one person: Ethan Cohen.
Ethan was stunned for a moment, the smile stayed on the corner of his mouth for a while, and then he couldn't hold back, he laughed out loud, then turned and pointed at Joel, "He." He looked up and down, deliberately using his left hand Flicking Joel's curly hair that was drooping on his shoulders, "How's it going, isn't the aptitude good?"
"Unfortunately, he's not blonde." Renly said with a grimace.
In 2006, a "Little Sunshine Beauty" was born, which really changed the weak position of independent films in the awards season, and wrote countless miracles. The rise of cinema paved the way.
In this film, the six members of the Hoover family are all very weird, everyone has their own problems, and quarrels are more commonplace, like a powder keg; but one day, the youngest member of their family, only seven years old But their youngest daughter wanted to enter a beauty contest called "Little Sunshine", and the whole family had to unite and set out on a journey to compete.
In the movie, the youngest daughter is blonde; and their car is a lemon yellow van. When the family sits in the car, the atmosphere is awkward, the expressions are stiff, everyone is immersed in their own thoughts, and there is a spark of discord.
That's where Renly's words come from.
But this stalk is too esoteric and aloof. Ethan is the only one who realizes it, and even Joel didn't keep up with it for a while; then, Ethan sacrificed Joel and joined the ranks of ridicule. The stalemate was broken immediately between the two people.
As for the others, they were all confused and didn't understand what was going on, especially after seeing Joel's confused face, Renly and Ethan both laughed lightly.
A little humor builds a bridge between strangers in the real situation, the subtle atmosphere of "only we know" can always break the ice of conversation, although the atmosphere in the car is still a little strange, but The exchange of glances between Ethan and Renly gradually became familiar.
"Why a ballad?" Ethan finally spoke.
in view of
In the special circumstances of their two previous encounters with Renly, he had been thinking about how he should cut to the topic today, whether he should apologize again; or should he just ignore the previous unhappiness and pretend that nothing had happened; or should he In a joking way, again mentioning their unpleasant acquaintance. This is really tricky.
However, the humor just now broke the barrier and gave Ethan inspiration.
However, after speaking, Ethan also realized that he was a bit clueless, so he had to add again, "I mean, you wrote the album 'Don Quixote' yourself, right? 'Cleopatra', 'The Beast', 'Your Bones'... all of these songs are yours, right? But why ballads?"
In the words, there is no positive praise, or even additional comments, just to verify a fact; but the excitement and curiosity between the lines reveal Ethan's inner affirmation.
"Why a movie?" Renly didn't answer directly, but responded with a rhetorical question.
Ethan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "The wave of folk songs died down thirty years ago; but movies..."
"No, the wave of movies has gradually quieted down. Now is the age of TV and the Internet." Renly interrupted Ethan's words and said with a smile, "Look at the movies that are flooded on the big screen now, the future It's the age of comic book adaptations, where the art of film is dying, and those real artists are gathering on TV and the Internet in an atmosphere where profit comes first and entertainment to death."
Strictly speaking, this is the status quo in 2017.
Streaming media led by Netflix (comflix), Amazon, etc. are changing the pattern of the entire TV and film industry, accompanied by the overall rise of TV works, and a large number of excellent directors, screenwriters and actors are pouring into the TV circle; And inevitably, there is the gradual silence of film productions, while the box office continues to rise, the number of moviegoers is declining, and the artistic nature of the works is dying.
Of course, the reasons are very intricate and complicated, and they are related to the entire social composition, artistic inheritance, cultural environment, historical causes, and so on.
However, it can be simply believed that this is because the film industry has gradually matured, and the market feedback has formed a fixed model; and the emergence of streaming media has given art creators greater freedom and space, allowing art to produce more development and transformation , the carrier of TV series is also broader and more inclusive than movies, which is also one of the destined products of the diversification of content in the Internet age.
In 2014, the Coen brothers returned to the small screen, creating a series version of "Frozen" for fx TV, and swept the Emmys and Golden Globes for this work.
Once upon a time, the film circle was high above, and it always despised and even despised the TV circle; but everything fell apart in front of Netflix, which was supported by the Internet age, and the status of TV works was rising steadily.
It's not alarmist that movies are dying.
At the moment in 2012, in fact, signs have gradually emerged. The "House of Cards" that created the Netflix era is now in full swing and will be officially broadcast in February next year. Discussions about the change of the times have caused countless controversies.
Renly's determination and perseverance made Ethan look surprised. This maturity and wisdom, this depth and professionalism, are definitely not something that just any actor can have; however, Renly is not in this Continue on the topic, after all, this is not the core of their discussion today.
"I mean, the reason why we insist, whether it is ballad or film, is not because it is at the forefront of the trend, but because it is the carrier of our artistic pursuit and the medium of self-realization. It is very simple and very Pure." Renly returned to the subject, answering Ethan's first question.
In the conversation between Renly and Ethan, a voice interjected from the side, "So we have arrived, a lonely place that we can't go back to." Both of them turned their heads, and it was Joel who spoke, he murmured in a low voice Then he met Renly's gaze, the eyes hidden behind the lenses shone with a ray of light, "Is that why you created 'Beast' in the first place?"
Renly was slightly surprised.
He could clearly feel Joel's enthusiasm, with a moth-to-fire, obsessive paranoia, even madness; his first formal conversation with the Coen brothers was not about movies, but about ballads , which is really interesting.
