To be honest, Renly did not expect that the script Andy brought was actually "Nightcrawler"!
"Nightcrawler" is a script written by the famous screenwriter Dan-gilroy himself. He has written scripts for works such as "Iron Fist" and "The Bourne Bourne 4". He cannot be regarded as a top screenwriter, but With his own unique dark style, he became interested when he learned that the profession of nightcrawlers really existed in Los Angeles, and wrote this story.
The film tells the story of a young man who accidentally became a night traveler, and walked step by step into the dark abyss, from a bystander recorder to a participant and even a criminal, and finally completely integrated with the night, completely degenerate, not for the sake of news and profit. Folding means.
The whole movie is full of black crime style, and there is a feeling of not being mad or alive.
The only regret is that the second half of the movie was a little weak, and it was not able to be further sublimated. It rose from the position of Nightcrawler to the reflection of the entire industry and even the culture; instead, it fell into a loop of small patterns, focusing all the focus on the male protagonist. , which also makes the work return from "industry discussion" to "character biography", weakening the shock of the entire film. Nothing could go further.
But without a doubt, this is still one of Renly's very, very favorite movies.
In the last life, as a journalism student, Renly always had a preference for works that reflected the journalism industry, especially now that the culture of entertainment to death has made the uncrowned kings go down from the altar, and works like "Nightcrawler" are just a knock on reality. The alarm bell sounded, and he personally couldn't put it down.
In this life, as a Hollywood actor, Renly became a victim and became the prey of the Nightcrawlers, which made him feel more and more empathetic. Especially after the paparazzi incident and the subsequent cold treatment by media reporters just three weeks ago, it is absolutely appropriate that this work appears now.
Objectively speaking, "Nightcrawler" isn't Renly's personal favorite reporter film.
In the final analysis, before he really became a reporter, he had already suffered a high-level paraplegia, ending his career as a reporter that he had not yet started. Therefore, he still has some beautiful fantasies and lofty ideals for the news industry, "Focus", "Washington Post" Works with positive energy like "Paper" can still arouse more resonance.
But it is undeniable that this work can definitely enter the top five ranks of Renly's personal favorite among the movies related to media reporters.
In the last life, after hesitating, Dan Gilroy decided to take over the guide tube himself, so "Nightcrawler" became his directorial debut.
After its release, it received rave reviews, with a comprehensive media review of 76 points, a Rotten Tomatoes freshness index of 95%, and an average score of 8.2. At the same time, it has also emerged during the awards season. It can be said to be a masterpiece.
At this moment, Andy chose this work, obviously not for nothing.
As a result, after "Booming Drummer", Renly has returned to the track of performance. He definitely hopes to challenge more difficult roles, and "Nightcrawler" is indeed a unique choice for swordsmanship, because the male protagonist In fact, it can not be regarded as decent, it should be regarded as a role of both good and evil, wandering in a gray area.
So far, most of the characters Renly has selected are mainly positive ones, and "Boom Drummer" is the first time he has tried a character with an unpleasant personality; It is definitely an attempt to broaden the play, and the difficulty of the role is also top-notch. Renly has no reason to refuse.
Second, the incident of the paparazzi besieging Renly just happened not long ago. Although he didn't say much on the surface, deep down, Andy was actually holding back his breath.
In Andy's point of view, Renly is a very pure, very professional and very simple actor. He threw himself into the performance wholeheartedly, and there is not much demand or news in private, but the paparazzi are still reluctant to let him go. . This really made Andy involuntarily annoyed.
These paparazzi need a lesson. That's how "Nightcrawler" appeared.
Renly flipped through the script earnestly, but in his mind he began to think about whether he should be in this work.
To be honest, he is very emotional now.
"Nightcrawler" star louis-bloom is definitely one of the funniest and most unique journalist characters on the big screen, with sharp edges and vibrant colors.
At the beginning of the story, Louis is a gangster who has nothing to do. Although he hopes to find a job, he still wanders around idle all day. Occasionally, he witnesses the scene of the photojournalist working, and he realizes that he can also do a vote, Then he purchased photographic equipment, and by tapping the police radio, he arrived at the crime scene to shoot first, and then handed over the shooting data to the news column team in exchange for payment.
Gradually, the ordinary car accident or fire scene can no longer satisfy Louis's appetite. He needs more bloody, exciting and eye-catching news scenes. In order to get precious first-hand information, Louis even "do it himself".
As you can tell from the description alone, this is a very dark character.
He was originally walking in the dark, like a nocturnal animal, for example, a hyena; but gradually, this hyena was not satisfied with cruising beside him, he needed more blood, he needed blood and killing, so step by step he changed Became a hunter-killer - evolution, so to speak, or degenerate.
Overall, the level of change in roles is not obvious.
But it is very delicate, from madness to madness, that kind of cold and biting but bloody and violent change, like a straight punch, slammed into every audience fiercely, that kind of direct shock is enough to make The blood loses the cruelty of temperature.
Just by imagining it in your mind, you can outline the corners and contours of the character, and even depict the light footsteps of the character looking for opportunities in the dark, like a hyena waiting for an opportunity, eager for more. of bloodshed and murder.
What's more, it's a negative character.
God knows how much Renly wanted to play a negative role. It is not necessarily a villain, but it is bound to be a marginal character in a gray area; not to break the actor's image, but to break the self-imprisonment and challenge more complex and changeable roles, which is also an important reason for Renly to become an actor.
Andy is correct.
When Renly saw this role, he had no way of rejecting it. In every respect, it was a role he was crazy about. He wanted to throw himself on it and take the script as his own. How should it be interpreted, and how should it be presented.
I have to admit that this time Andy's vision was absolutely unique, and he accurately grasped Renly's mentality and needs. As an agent, this is undoubtedly the most important quality; what's more, Andy is still working hard to mediate Renly's remuneration with Universal Pictures, which makes him more valuable.
Renly had no reason to refuse.
But Renly still had to say no.
Not that the script is not good enough, but because of friends.
In his last life, "Nightcrawler" was played by Jake Gyllenhaal.
In fact, in 2010 and 2011, Jack had tried to challenge commercial films, such as "Prince of Persia: The Blade of Time", "Love and Elixir", "Source Code" and other works are represented among them, and he also hopes to broaden his own The way of play, let the career to a higher level.
But unfortunately, all three works suffered box office failures, which also made Jack disheartened and completely cut off the idea of commercial movies, but devoted himself to the study of performances.
It was at this special juncture that Renly and Jack met at the Berlin Film Festival early last year. Therefore, Jack's love and admiration for the film "Transcendence" comes more from Renly's professional attitude towards performance and Tony Kaye's artistic spirit.
This year, Jack appeared in two works, "The Enemy" and "The Prisoner". It can be clearly seen that his understanding and exploration of acting is gradually deepening, summing up his own style, and stepping forward on the actor's path. important step. The styles of both works tend to be slightly gloomy and dark, and it is obvious that Jack has his own unique interpretation of those negative characters.
"Nightcrawler" was performed by Jack under such circumstances - if it developed according to the historical track.
As far as Renly is concerned, after "Broken/Back/Mountain", Jack also fell into a short period of confusion, and his exploration of acting skills and self-positioning were deviated. The work was back on track, and "Nightcrawler" was undoubtedly Jack's peak.
Even in 2018, Renly still thinks "Nightcrawler" is Jack's best work.
In order to play the role of Louis, Jack is really obsessed, and the whole person is integrated with the role, not only living completely in the way of a night traveler; The self in the mirror completely blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, and it is like Matthew McConaughey in "Dallas Buyers Club", as thin as a rubber man.
It can be felt that Jack has become Louis, and his performance has endowed the character with the bloody, cunning and viciousness of a coyote; at the same time, it has the loneliness and loneliness of walking alone in the dark, and every move makes people shudder. It exuded a cold and terrifying temperament.
This trait not only made the character of Lewis, but also made the movie "Nightcrawler".
As mentioned before, the second half of the movie failed to further sublime, which also made the final theme core return to Louis and turned into a character biography, which is very regrettable for the completion of the movie; but for Jack In other words, this is also a change like a duck in water.
Needless to say, Jack gave Louis the soul, which was a crucial breakthrough.
As Jack's best friend, Renly had no way of snatching the character from him.
