After the brief shock and accident, Jack calmed down a little, but he couldn't help but keep stroking his hair, as if he needed a little buffer time.
He turned his head and looked at Renly in front of him. It was both absurd and funny. In the end, Jack giggled. After all, there was nothing he could do with Renly. After laughing, Jack came back to his senses and got close Beside Renly, he asked in a low voice, "You said just now, what company is it from? Is it a brand new capital from Wall Street? Why is the name so unfamiliar?"
The development of the contemporary Hollywood industry has gradually matured, and the market mechanism of survival of the fittest is always in operation. Old companies may not necessarily have advantages, and emerging companies may not necessarily fall behind; It is not uncommon for Jack, who has been in the industry for many years, to encounter companies he does not know.
Seeing Jack's cautious expression, Renly couldn't help but chuckle, "Scotland's capital. But I'm sure they have nothing to do with those gangsters." But then, Renly frowned slightly and posed a The deputy inquiring expression, looked at Andre, "Are you sure?"
Andrei shrugged slightly, noncommittal.
It was only at this moment that Jack realized that the boss of the company was sitting directly opposite him. Was his move just now too rude?
Andre noticed Jack's cautious gaze, but he didn't mind it, and said, "Sisyphus Films. We have just been established."
"Ah!" Jack immediately widened his eyes, looked at Andre, then looked at Renly, stammered for a while, and finally looked directly at Renly, "...Did you also become a shareholder? Sisyphus! Sisyphus!"
Jack is also not a fan of social networks, but last year's "Ice Bucket Challenge", Jack also participated in it, Renly is one of the few objects that interact with Jack on social networks, he naturally remembers it. So, Jack connected Renly and Sisyphus Pictures right away.
Ren Li spread his hands and looked at Andre, "What should I do now? Should you give me some shares?"
Andre deliberately showed a smirk but not a smile. He pouted at Renly, but refused to respond, and then said to Jack, "Renly and I have been friends for many years, to be honest, This project is also because of the introduction of Renly, I was ready to invest in the production. Previously, the first work of Sisyphus Films was 'Boom Drummer'."
Jack suddenly realized and nodded towards Andre, "So, you are also a victim?"
Andrei was convinced.
"Victim? Jack, explain it to me." Renly said with a serious face.
But this time Jack was not fooled, and bumped Renly's shoulder with a smile on his face, "Why not? Can you find a more suitable word? What's even more sad is that we know we are victims, Still willing to be deceived, alas, what the hell is going on?"
After Jack finished speaking, he also cast his eyes on Andre and Eaton: honest people dig holes, and their strength should not be underestimated.
"Then, the perpetrator is leaving now, and you group of victims can gather together and have a good discussion about the experience of Stockholm Syndrome." Renly didn't mind, but said generously, and then really got up. ready to leave.
Now, it was Jack's turn to be dumbfounded.
Jack sat on the outer seat, and now he doesn't know if he should make room for Renly. In his memory, shouldn't Renly be such a joker? Jack looked at Andre and Eaton in a panic, and said in a panic, "Seriously? Are you serious?"
Jack grabbed Renly's right hand, and shot Andre and Eaton a pleasing look.
But Andre didn't do anything, instead he laughed lightly, "Jack, don't worry, he's not angry, he's just an excuse to leave."
indeed.
As the intermediary, Renly's job was done, and the rest of the details were left to them to discuss. Jack needs to read the script, Andre needs to understand Jack, Eaton needs to understand the script and understand Jack, Renly staying here is the one that gets in the way, so just take this opportunity to leave, just right.
"Really?" Jack still didn't quite believe it, and cast an inquiring glance at Renly.
Renly nodded lightly and patted Jack on the shoulder, "You stay here, read the script well, and then have a good conversation with Andre and Eaton. If you think it's feasible, give me a call and I'll contact Dan- Gilroy, arrange for you to meet again, and leave the rest to you to discuss in detail."
"Of course, if you'd like to discuss the script, characters, etc. with me, I can do it any time." Renly simply arranged things properly, then bypassed Jack and left the coffee table, without saying goodbye deliberately, gently Nodding his head, he turned around and walked away.
Not long after leaving the coffee house, someone caught up behind him, it was Eaton.
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, cast a questioning look, and Eaton explained.
"Today is the first time we met, and nothing has been decided yet, and they need more communication; and I, who have no experience at all, should start with the basic movements first, and then meet the director another day to decide on the film. style and tone, I made some ideas, and then looked at the ideas and ideas of the costume designers of the crew to confirm my ideas.
is it right or not. "
After speaking, Eaton still looked at Renly with some uncertainty, "I'm not so sure, design and fashion are the same, the theme is always the most important core, so what about the movie?"
Renly scrutinized Eaton carefully, then laughed dumbly. In fact, this is the case with all art. The theme is the core source of the creator's motivation, and it can be naturally formed in the same vein. Movies are also a form of art; if it was someone else, Renly would almost suspect that the other party was deliberately raising a bar or sneering. Yes, but... Eaton isn't, he's just a stick.
Renly nodded lightly, agreeing, "The same goes for movies."
Eaton immediately showed a big smile in relief, "That's good."
...
In the next period of time, things entered a stage of rapid development, which was extremely smooth.
Sisyphus Pictures was officially established in a low-key manner, except for the people at the top of the pyramid, it did not cause too many waves; at the same time, Sisyphus Pictures officially announced that they would start the production of their second work, "Nightcrawler".
Sisyphus Pictures has collaborated with Sony Classics for the second time after "Boom Drummer" to jointly produce "Nightcrawler". The two parties then share the profits together. The production cost of the film is tentatively set at US$8 million, and whether to make additional investment later will also be decided according to the actual situation.
Dan Gilroy was in charge of the director for the first time while serving as a screenwriter, but he was not eligible for box office dividends, but served as director and screenwriter with a salary of $1 million; Jake Gyllenhaal served as the male lead, The pay was just a friendly price of $600,000; in addition, Renly served as the film producer—
This is his second time as a producer, but the first time he doesn't participate in the show. It also means that Renly has taken another step forward in the field of production.
However, the film cannot continue to go into production for the time being. Because the script still needs to be revised.
When Gilroy wrote the script, he combined his own personal experience and follow-up investigations in Los Angeles. Therefore, he did not give any background to the character of Louis, not even the psychological description and appearance characteristics. After waiting for the actor to make a decision, the screenwriter and the actor will discuss face-to-face to complete the supplement.
Jack agrees with this writing style.
But before Jack can actually take on the role, he also needs to get to know the Nightcrawler firsthand. So Jack decided to put the script, characters and filming aside for a while, and went to Los Angeles to experience the life of the Nightcrawlers, talk to the Nightcrawlers, and then build the character in his mind, and then build the whole character with Gilroy. .
They need time.
Jack did not finalize the official time list, but what is certain is that it will not be able to start up within September.
For Hollywood, neither Sisyphus Pictures nor "Nightcrawler" have much to discuss, and an independent film with an investment of 8 million is still not enough; but for the high-level figures at the top of the pyramid, Renly began to play the role of production. The filmmaker, but not participating in the performance, this is an important change——
Does this mean that in the future Renly can participate in the development of more projects? Like top producers like Steven Spielberg or Michael Bay? Further, are the "Jurassic Park" and "Fast & Furious" projects ushering in a turning point? Renly is involved as a producer, so will Universal change its tune?
However, recently, there has been too much movement among Warner Bros., Legendary Pictures, and Universal Pictures. It is still a mess, and it is unknown how things will develop.
Maybe, someone can take advantage of the chaos and take a place; maybe, the whale fight is still a whale thing after all, and the little shrimps stand aside. Everything is possible. Compared with the movements of the bigwigs, Renly's actions still lack more far-reaching influence. They can only stir up a few small splashes. Therefore, several projects can only be said to have opportunities, but they are still uncertain.
In the midst of the chatter, Renly had quietly left New York, seemingly not worried about the momentum of these important projects, but returned to London alone.
In fact, Renly did not deliberately hide his itinerary, but it did not attract much attention, because everyone knows that the Venice Film Festival is about to open, and now back in Europe, it is obvious that the publicity work of "Gravity" is about to start.
The truth is that the Venice Film Festival is a must, but this matter can be pushed back a little, and Renly needs to be the first to place Christopher Nolan.
