"Renly, would you like to play the role of Cooper?"
Suddenly, Christopher sent an invitation. During the negotiation between you and me, Renly couldn't help but stunned for a while, and then laughed, "I thought you still need to think seriously."
Christopher didn't mind Renly's wondrous attitude at all—no grateful nods, no flattered thanks, and he smiled himself, "I'm also a little surprised. But...if you like it, why hesitate? "
"I always trust my intuition when it comes to choosing actors, because there is a subtle connection between actors and characters, which is crucial to my filming work." Christopher then said calmly, "In fact, for I have doubts about your age, and even now, I am worried that if you are chosen to play Cooper, will the age of all the other actors have to be adjusted accordingly, but..."
The words stopped like this, Renly nodded lightly, and took the initiative to take over the topic, "But you are willing to gamble."
"Yes, I'm willing to gamble." Christopher said honestly, and then the conversation changed. "However, the most risky part of each of my works is not the actor, and my price is limited."
The real challenge of every Christopher work is always on the story and script; of course, there are also the visual effects that are unpredictable but must be presented in the most realistic way possible, which also means that the crew must be up and down. Take more risks and surprises.
Such words were somewhere between arrogance and self-confidence, but became more and more vague because of Christopher's seriousness and seriousness, so Renly raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "But this time, if I choose to Working with me, I think, you should take some risks."
Christopher didn't understand the deep meaning of it, but just took it for granted that it was still an issue of age, "Indeed, age is indeed a problem that needs to be considered, but we can always find a solution. A good actor can completely perform from his youth. By old age, the film industry is mature enough now."
A faint smile appeared in Renly's eyes, and he shook his head gently, "No, I'm talking about the salary issue."
Without any cover, Renly asked the key question so bluntly. Although Renly didn't care, he had promised Andy before that the issue of remuneration this time would never be compromised, so Renly threw up the question frankly and honestly.
Christopher was stunned—literally stunned.
Christopher kept a surprised expression, stared slightly, and looked at Renly seriously. Unexpected questions came to his face. His first reaction was that Renly was joking, but Renly's smiling expression was looking for. Without any flaws, Christopher realized: this is business.
But Christopher still couldn't answer.
"Uh... Of course. Sure." Christopher said politely. At this moment, his panic and stunned all revealed a sense of amateur youth, he thought about it seriously, and then said, "Indeed, This is bound to be an issue that cannot be ignored. Commercial films definitely need to discuss this part, and neither the director nor the actors can bypass this part. No problem, of course there is no problem. This needs to be negotiated slowly.”
Despite a series of rambles, there is no substance at all.
Renly had heard Andy mentioned before that Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are a rare husband and wife team in the industry. They have worked together for ten years and are still close. The reason is very simple. It is not the so-called separation of work and private affairs. It is a clear division of labor between the two people—
Emma is in charge of negotiating the remuneration and budget, and social work is her strength; Christopher is responsible for all the preparatory work such as filming on the set and film casting; if the director and If there is a communication problem between the producers, then Emma will act as a bridge to negotiate externally and dredge internally.
Over the years, such a collaborative approach has uniquely opened up a world that allows Christopher Nolan's directorial work to unfold in full swing without any worries.
The same is true today.
"Wait here for a moment." Christopher didn't say anything more after leaving a bunch of polite remarks, and even the topic of starring being discussed was interrupted, Christopher didn't realize it at all, just panicked. He got up in a panic and left and walked into the house.
When it comes to negotiating, it's definitely not Christopher Nolan's forte.
Renly was neither anxious nor dissatisfied, sitting quietly in the same place, tasting his coffee slowly, after leaving the movie world, the sound of the rain around him became clear again, as if falling on the eardrum, light and soft. Smartly playing the violin nocturne.
Vaguely, Renly could sense a line of sight behind him, turned his head, and saw Flora, the little guy hiding behind the screen door, exaggeratedly pressing his cheek on the screen, and also He deliberately widened his eyes, secretly peeping at Ren Li's every move.
Seeing Renly turn around at this time, Flora quietly raised her nose, opened her mouth slowly, and made an exaggerated grimace, which became twisted under the cutting of the gauze pane. , people can't help but think of Jack Nicholson who split the door of the room with an ax in "The Shining".
Suddenly, Renly also made a big
Grimace, expressing response.
Flora burst into laughter all of a sudden, seeming to be very satisfied with Renly's grimace, and then began to make other grimace seriously, and in a second, she entered the "Grimace Battle" link.
"Flora!" At this moment, Emma Thomas appeared and patted the little girl gently on the back, "Mom needs to talk to this gentleman, can you wait a moment? What do you think of playing Lego with your brothers first?" There was no direct order, but a slightly gentle persuasion.
Flora bit her lower lip, and even though she was reluctant to part with it, she finally nodded obediently and stepped aside, still reluctantly walking, standing beside her and quietly observing Renly.
Roy appeared out of nowhere, grabbed his sister's right hand, but did not leave immediately, but looked out curiously, looking at Renly, who had cleared up his face and regained his calm, and was shaking hands with his mother to greet him. , He was vaguely curious, but he was still a big kid after all, and he turned and left with his sister, "Oliver and Manus are building Westminster Abbey, how are you, are you ready to join us?"
...
"Sorry, sorry, it's such a mess at home, I hope it didn't bother you. Summer holidays are always like this, and now parents are always looking forward to the start of school in September, and our work can be cut in half." Emma With a chuckle, he shook hands with Renly and then sat down in Christopher's original seat.
At this time, Emma has changed into a black and white casual dress, which will not look too formal, but will not look too sloppy; her short and medium hair that has just reached the shoulders has also been treated with wax or hairspray. With a little makeup, the whole hostess's posture is revealed.
Renly shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Please don't say that, it's my honor to be invited to Chris's house. I hope you don't disrupt the rhythm of your vacation because of my arrival, Otherwise, it would be my rudeness."
"No, no, no." Emma smiled cheerfully, "To be honest, I always think it's Chris' rudeness, we should formally invite you to dinner and choose to come to your house in the early morning, this is not correct Hospitality."
There is a difference between treating business partners and treating further friends. Dinner is a very important part of the social system of Western culture. If you can have dinner together, it is either formal enough and grand enough, or enough Intimate enough to be familiar.
Christopher arranged for a morning meeting and interview, which meant that it was a pure working partner, and it was an equal partner, and even a partner that Chris had a slight upper hand. In fact, this is an important signal.
Now Emma took the initiative to mention dinner, which means that during the brief conversation and task handover between Christopher and Emma, Christopher released a positive and optimistic signal, maybe even a 100% positive signal.
"If it's a dinner party, it's too formal, and you might not see the children's lively and lively side." Renly said with a smile, "The world of children is always pure, so carefree. The days are nostalgic. Summer, summer vacation, is always full of countless memories.”
"Ha, I don't know, you are actually a person who likes children." Emma sighed slightly, but did not go further, "It seems that outside the camera lens, you still hide many children of your own. secret."
"Just like Chris." Renly's answer successfully made Emma smile too. The two raised their coffee and gestured to each other, tacitly knowing.
Emma is quickly sorting out her thoughts.
For a short period of time, Christopher left Renly in the backyard porch like this, still not grasping some details of the social occasion; but Emma couldn't do it, she must get back to her position as soon as possible. Otherwise, the host will be too rude to the guests, not to mention, the other party is a hereditary noble.
Therefore, Christopher and Emma didn't have much time to communicate, so they could only explain the situation in a few words. One was that Christopher thought Renly was the right person for the role; the other was that Renly asked for the remuneration.
In a hurry, Emma was also slightly stunned, completely not expecting such a turning point.
Renly? Pay?
