Quietly looking at Renly in front of him, Andre was slightly dazed.
After leaving the shackles of high-altitude hypoxia and free fall, the heart and blood gradually returned to normal, and Andre also returned to the usual sloppy and unruly state, looking at Renly's eyes became more and more interesting.
If it was someone else, he would be overwhelmed by looking at him for so long; but Andre knew that Renly was an exception, so he chose to take the initiative, "You're a freak."
"Yes, I know." Ren Li was not surprised at all, nodded calmly in affirmation, and the smooth answer showed the indifference.
Andre showed a handsome smile, which was one of the reasons why he had always admired Renly.
Because of rock climbing and skydiving, because of career and dreams, and because of personality and style, Renly has shown his own uniqueness in all aspects, "But why? The Hall family looks so... normal, but you become The first fermented tumor? It broke the balance and destroyed the ecology. This is really abnormal."
In the past six months, the storm that Renly has caused in the upper class of London has not only not stopped, but also intensified. Even Andre didn't care or mind at all, but he was inevitably involved in it, and the traces and concepts of "rules were broken" could be felt in every aspect.
Being in it, but watching from the outside, Andre could faintly feel that something was broken, and it could never be repaired. When he happened to meet Renly in Queenstown, it was unexpected but reasonable, which made Andre curious.
"Because I was born again."
It was Renly's only answer, but it was also an unspoken answer.
After thinking about it carefully, Renly gave his own opinion, "Maybe because change has always existed, unfortunately, the timing and the environment have never been right, so it has not erupted. But now, the times are different, and change is destined to come soon. Comes, and a seed takes root and sprouts, and grows into a leafy forest."
Why he was reborn as Renly is an unanswerable question; but why his tiny seed was able to create such a storm is an obvious one.
The same situation happened five or ten years ago, maybe like Princess Grace Kelly, who will cut off her wings and return to aristocratic life; maybe like Princess Diana, she will eventually be in In the bondage, he was drunk and dreamed of death, and finally died unhappily.
"But the question is, if you change an era, will you still insist on yourself?" This is the part that Andre is really curious about.
Renly shrugged slightly, but didn't answer.
But that relaxed and sparse expression and shining eyes gave Andre the answer he wanted most. He nodded lightly and came to his own conclusion, "You are a lunatic." However, he liked .
Without continuing to discuss such a profound topic, Andre retracted his thoughts and attention, and asked enthusiastically, "There have been rumors in Hollywood recently that you are now preparing a production work, preferably fake news, otherwise , why didn't you call me at the first time, don't you know that I have been preparing to enter Hollywood?"
Renly thought back blankly.
Andre rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I mentioned it to you twice, don't you have an impression? God, I should have told Matthew."
For things other than performances, especially business transactions and exchange of interests, Renly has always had no clear concept, turning his head and forgetting.
Andre dared to promise, and now asks Renly the number of his own bank account, he must be at a loss, and he may not remember the exact number; it is estimated that such a question should be asked of Matthew. How could he forget this, what a mistake!
Looking at Renly's dazed and confused look, Andre only felt a dull pain in his temples, let out a breath, and re-emphasized, "I've been trying to invest in movie projects, if you have a suitable project, You can come to me directly, I will be responsible for the money, you are responsible for the works, and when you need to use your personal connections, I will come forward."
Vaguely, Renly remembered that Andre had mentioned it to him before.
However, Renly never cared too much. First, his interest in production is still limited; second, he also knows little about business operations, so when he was looking for a production company for "Boom Drummer", he naturally didn't think of this. A crop.
"You should know that during vacation, I don't talk about work." Renly laughed dumbly, without denying it, but facing Andre's gaze calmly, his slightly lowered eyes showed a playful look.
Andre didn't speak either, just holding the brandy in his hand and looking at Renly quietly.
After the weight of gravity tugged at his legs, Andre gradually returned to his normal state. Even in the face of Renly's jokes, he didn't panic.
Regarding investment and production, it is indeed work, but Andre and Renly are different, they are friends, friends who are infrequent but always willing to lend a hand at critical moments, just like the last time "one person" "Concert" is generally, this belongs to the tacit understanding between them. The reverse is also true.
Sure enough, after the quiet atmosphere slowly flowed, it was Renly who was defeated this time.
He can be honest with Hollywood bigwigs, but
You can't turn away friends. It was his weakness, he knew it, but he didn't mind.
"What's the amount?" Ren Li raised his eyebrows slightly and cut into the official topic. It seemed like an ordinary opening question, but there was a glimmer of light under his slightly drooping eyes.
Andre knew that Renly was making fun of himself—questioning his sincerity and focus on making his real foray into Hollywood. The two were really too familiar with each other, and with one look and one expression, Andre could clearly interpret the deep meaning.
"I'm serious." Andre had to re-emphasize, "I know that now the top production companies in Hollywood are trying to compete for this project, and of course I can't compete with them. But for you? Below $100 million I have no problem with the budget, I can speak directly; if it is more than 100 million US dollars, then we need to convene a board of directors to discuss it.”
Ren Liyu frowned slightly, and did not hide his surprise, "God, you squandered your property like this, does your father know?" But before he finished speaking, he waved his hand and denied his idea.
Andre is the youngest son of the Hamilton family, not only his father and mother, but his two older brothers are also very fond of him. It can be said that he is a collection of thousands of pets. Andrei picked up the mess, "Forget it, when I didn't ask."
Andre chuckled lightly, "Please, 100 million doesn't mean anything to you either."
Although the starting point is different, for Renly he does not need so much wealth, and for Andre, his wealth is far more than that; but the sentence is correct, one hundred million for them , just a number.
Renly shrugged, noncommittal, and returned to the topic, "This time, the project is not a commercial work, but a work of art, more of which is locked in the awards season. Not surprisingly, it should be a Sundance project next year. The film festival is the starting point for the follow-up development, are you sure you are willing to invest in such a work?"
Andre has conducted an in-depth investigation of Hollywood, and naturally understands the meaning of Renly's words.
Awards season works not only mean that there may not be much profit, or even a loss; it also means that the distribution company must be strong, and only in this way can it occupy a place in the Oscars. This is an unfavorable situation for Andre, and he must have a deeper consideration.
But Andre is no expert.
"What's your opinion?" Andre threw the question directly.
There is no foreword, but the meaning is very clear - if Andre is still willing to invest in "Boom Drummer", what would Renly advise.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and laughed dumbly, "Are you sure you're asking for my opinion?"
Not only is Renly not an expert, but even knowledgeable about business.
Andre pursed the corners of his mouth and replied sarcastically, "There is no way, I have no other choice, I can only ask you now." Renly laughed along with the rant.
After pondering for a moment, Renly briefly expressed his thoughts, "In terms of investment, it may not need much, three to five million, which is basically the cap." Therefore, who is the partner of cooperation has always been Not a problem, not to mention the six major Hollywood studios, even those independent studios, this is not an expensive fee, and the same is true for Andre.
So, the focus is on sincerity and friendship.
"This is a project that is biased towards niche art theaters. If you are interested, you can read the box office of 'Black Swan'. It is estimated that the trend of 'Booming Drummer' is like this. Let's make a smaller version." Renly's The discourse is still objective, and there is still no plan to act, but to start the conversation in the version of the previous life.
"So, after the measurement, you can seek cooperation with a film company, you will be responsible for the funding, they will be responsible for the contribution, and the final distribution will be handed over to them to impact major film festivals and awards seasons. As for the specific cost and benefit distribution, it is determined by Negotiate yourselves," Renly continued.
For art creators, the work is the primary; but for businessmen, the rate of return is. This is also doomed to have different thinking angles between Renly and Andre.
Then, his eyes fell on Andre, and Renly showed a shallow smile, "The only requirement is that the final decision of the work must be controlled by Damien Chazelle."
Not the first cut, but the final decision.
Andre's eyes flashed slightly, he naturally understood the difference, and joked half-jokingly, "Are you sure it's not the lion's big mouth?"
"Yes, I'm sure." The corners of Renly's mouth rose slightly.
