The smile at the corner of Andre's mouth froze like that. He looked at Eaton, then at Renly. Finally, he shook his head speechlessly and sighed, "What kind of friends have I made!"
Eaton's eyes widened and he was full of confusion. He didn't know what happened just now, he just chimed in. Now looking at Andre's depressed face, he was both innocent and confused. He could only cast a questioning look at Renly; but Renly didn't answer either, just smiled and shook his head in denial, and Eaton didn't pursue it any further.
"So, what the hell is going on with today's meeting?" Eaton is a big man. Even if he doesn't understand, he doesn't pursue it, even if he's upset, he doesn't care, and even if he doesn't understand, he doesn't bother. I have already prepared the clothes and shipped them to the private residence of the Duke of Hamilton in advance, and then you can choose according to the weather."
August is coming to an end, which means that September is not far away.
"Gravity" is about to hold its world premiere, first at the Venice Film Festival, then at the North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, and then at the New York Film Festival in the United States. Three consecutive waves of film festival promotions have officially landed. Start the awards season.
However, Warner Bros. is more inclined to launch it in the form of commercial film promotion. The reason why it chose to premiere at the film festival is mainly due to the appeal of the two actors Alfonso Cuaron and Renly Hall in the professional field.
So, for some time to come, Renly will start to get busy again.
Venice Film Festival, which will also be the second European film festival Renly attended this year.
Unlike Cannes, Venice is a big city, a tourist destination and a holiday destination. Many British aristocrats have private vacation residences here. Even the Duke of Hamilton, even one of them, learned that Renly was going to Venice to participate in the film festival this year, and Andre generously opened the door of his private mansion near the river to welcome Renly.
As Renly's personal stylist, Eaton will be in charge of all of Renly's red carpet looks and premiere costumes. After he finishes the work early, he consigns all the costumes to Hamilton's private residence -
Eaton and Renly were no strangers to the place. When they were studying, they had gone to Venice for vacation several times, and they all lived in the private residence of the Duke of Hamilton.
One of them was a long holiday on St. Patrick's Day. A group of them stayed in Venice reluctantly. After the holiday, they still didn't go back. In the end, Andre's second brother John came to Venice in person...to cover for them. It also became one of the happiest days of my youth, wandering carefree and wanton.
Renly closed his chin lightly, expressing his understanding, "Are you going to Venice in September?"
"I need to participate in fashion week, and this year will not be over." Eaton shook his head. "I am planning to hold fashion week private parties in February next year to further expand my brand influence."
"It's rare, you are so proactive now." Renly said jokingly, Eaton has always been a relatively passive party in terms of social relationships, and the marketing of personal brands has never been able to enter the next stage, "Just right, you can Talk to Andre."
"..." Andre looked at Renly with question marks all over his head.
"What?" Eaton exclaimed slightly excitedly.
Andre was immediately dissatisfied, "What's the matter with your reaction? Shouldn't it be me expressing disgust? There is still a sequence for this matter."
Eaton closed his mouth immediately, pretending that nothing had happened.
Renly smiled without any face, "I'm serious. Eaton, Andre has officially started investing in film projects. If there is a chance, you can actually cooperate with some Hollywood films as a promotional entry point."
"It's like British royal movies like 'The King's Speech', 'The Queen', etc. The suits in it are really very particular, and you have to be really proficient. In this regard, I don't think anyone is more suitable than you; moreover, you You can also participate in the costume design of some modern British films, or the works of World War II. It is a very interesting process.”
Renly wasn't joking and spoke his thoughts and opinions very seriously.
After "Breaking Drummer", Andre is again involved in the production of "Nightcrawler", and there is no doubt that he has begun to enter the Hollywood industry.
If it weren't for the fact that "Jurassic Park" and "Interstellar" are too complicated, he would even suggest that Andre join them; however, now Andre only has capital and status, but is not familiar with the rules of the industry, Warner Bros. Brothers, Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures should not get involved in this muddy water.
Naturally, Andre needs to establish a relatively direct line of cooperation. Thomas Tour, the Weinstein brothers, etc. have all come this way, which plays a vital role in gaining a firm foothold in Hollywood——
The so-called team includes all the staff in front of and behind the scenes. Never underestimate the important role of the behind-the-scenes staff, especially for independent production companies that started from scratch.
And Eaton has been looking for further expansion of his personal brand. If he can cooperate with the film, this is a good display platform, at least Renly thinks so. Especially for some British movies that pay attention to the background, the position of costume design becomes more and more important, and now Hollywood
There are still far from enough really top-notch related professionals, which is exactly what Eaton is in.
Therefore, Renly invited both Andre and Eaton over today, and let them talk and see. If they can reach a cooperation, it is naturally the best; even if not, it will not hurt.
Andre was immediately in a state of thought, knowing that Renly wasn't a pointless personality.
Eaton didn't think so deeply. After pondering for a moment, his thoughts blurted out, "Is this really suitable? I haven't worked with the film crew, and I haven't even had the opportunity to watch. I don't know what it is. Can I really do the job of running a business? More importantly, is this not doing the right thing? Is this really effective for my branding?”
In fact, when Renly returned to London last time, Eaton thought about it, and he also mentioned it to Renly and Andre, but it was just a mention. After that, there was no further text. Now the opportunity really came, Eaton instead became hesitant.
"It's very simple. According to the background of the age, according to the characteristics of the characters, according to the character of the characters, it is enough to tailor the clothes." Renly said with a smile, the clothing is actually a part of the performance, a very important part, so Renly is not unfamiliar, " Does it sound very familiar? In fact, it is not much different from your daily work, the only difference is that now you are tailoring the clothes for the characters in the script.”
"However, now through your red carpet, I have gradually opened up some situations in Hollywood. If I change my job to designing costumes for movies, is this likely to confuse everyone's ideas and opinions? Would it be inappropriate?" Eaton's This is how his personality is. It is always easy to think too much. In an instant, he has already thought about countless possibilities.
But in the face of such a question, Renly had no way to give an accurate answer, "I'm not sure. After all, this is not my major. But, if you are interested, I can let Andy arrange a look, you go to Burban Take a look at the work process of a fashion designer, you can find some inspiration, make your own judgment, or communicate with them, if it is not suitable, then forget it.”
Eaton didn't answer right away, lost in thought.
Andrei took the initiative to start the conversation, he has now understood the deep meaning behind the matter, his perspective is more long-term and more macro than Eaton's, "You mean, I have to form a direct line production team of my own. ? From the actors and directors to all the behind-the-scenes staff?"
Renly nodded and affirmed, "It doesn't have to be a fixed team, but it is best to have a team that you are familiar with and trust, which is very important for the initial stage of an independent production company. This time, you chose to work with Sony Classics. Collaboration, the production team is selected by them, and your control is still too weak.”
The words that followed, even if Renly didn't need to explain, Andre understood immediately.
The peculiarity of "Boom Drummer" is that Renly served as the producer, and the Sony Classics production team is still relatively united, focusing on the film production process, there is no moth, and the overall cooperation is very pleasant.
But Renly can't be a producer every time. Even as a nominal producer, he doesn't have as much energy as he can, which means that Andre must have more effective means of intervention and management. Even if it's not about managing the film production process, it's about controlling cost and quality.
As for whether Andre can be content with Legendary's previous partnership with Warner Bros., or if he wants to go a step further like Thomas Tour, that's a question for the future.
Andre nodded lightly in agreement, and between the two sentences, the decision was made decisively, "That's it, you and Andy say hello, I will need him for some things in the next period of time. Help help."
Now that it has been decided to create a film production company, it is necessary to plan well. Although Andre seems to be dangling on the surface, his shrewdness and wisdom are far from simple as the helm of a world-class whisky distillery. When he was young, Andre was completely a carefree young master. After many years of reunion, Renly remained the same, but Andre was different.
"By the way, your production company has been registered, right? What's its name?" Renly only remembered this now and asked.
"Sisyphus," Andrei replied.
