Male lead, low cost, comedy; last minute, alternate first choice, suitable role.
With just a few simple keywords, it is really difficult to piece together the true face of the invitation. But the situation is really interesting.
It was only a few days ago that there was still no answer on how Renly's next movie should be arranged; but now, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes. First, "detachment" allows Renly to challenge the limits of acting again. Now It's another comedy work, not only the schedule has become full, but even the options have become dreamy.
Ever since Toronto received the script of "The Bad Boss", Renly has wanted to try comedy, which can be regarded as another aspect of acting. Originally, I thought that the vision of this desire would have to wait for a while, with the right role and the right script. It is not so easy to encounter, I did not expect that a breakthrough has been achieved so quickly.
Sure enough, it's Hollywood, with twists and turns and rapid changes that catch people off guard.
But what exactly is this comedy?
Although it was a temporary substitute at the last moment, Renly believed that Andy was definitely not an impulsive person. He was willing to nod the other party's decision to contact Renly. This shows that the work itself must have been reviewed by Andy, or the crew. There are important people in the lineup worth mentioning. And, it's still three o'clock in the morning, and things get even more interesting.
After hanging up the phone, after waiting for less than three minutes, the ringtone of Bach's a cappella cello suite rang again.
Renly didn't panic and answered the phone immediately, but he didn't make the other party wait, calmly put down the water glass, and then pressed the call button, "Good evening, this is Renly."
A rough and hoarse voice sounded on the other end of the phone, "Good evening, sorry for disturbing your rest so late, I hope I didn't spoil anything good."
The turbid voice seemed to be holding a mouthful of phlegm, and the recognition was really clear; plus the opening was a teasing joke, and without his self-introduction, the corresponding name had already appeared in Renly's mind.
really.
"Oh, sorry, forgot to introduce myself, this is seth-rogen, I don't know if your agent has introduced me to you, and I don't know how much you know so far, but, There is a character waiting for you here, and you are our savior."
Seth Rogen, a member of the younger generation of the Rotten Boys, a hairy Jewish fat man, and a new generation of comedians.
He is quite a talented person, and his greater talent is in writing jokes and scripts than acting, and he is on the list of screenwriters for works such as "Too Bad", "Pineapple Express", "Sausage Party", etc. You can see his name; with his outstanding talent, he not only played a supporting role, but also served as a co-producer in his third big screen work "Forty-Year-Old Virgin". At the time, he was only twenty-two years old.
As an actor, in Seth's work list, there are hit works such as "Big Belly" that made him a hit, action works such as "Shrek 3" and "Kung Fu Panda" with dubbing, and Small-budget independent works such as "Fragile Heart", "Waltzing a Branch", and "Tangled Journey".
Although it is said that Seth is only twenty-eight years old this year, he has gradually become the backbone of the American comedy industry, relying on the Bad Boy Gang, and at the same time he has formed his own team to help each other and get along well. water up.
Otherwise, "The Green Hornet", which was released earlier this year, would not have invited him to perform with Zhou/Jie/Lun, although this work even lost the panties.
"Savior? What savior am I?" Renly chuckled lightly, but he sneered back when he spoke for the first time.
"Number one." Seth answered without hesitation, but when there was no voice from Renly on the other end of the phone, he knew that the other party didn't believe it, which made Seth a little anxious and added, "I mean real."
If it was normal, Seth wouldn't know how anxious he would be, but today is really an emergency. He is so anxious now that his lips are already bubbling.
There are only five days left until the filming starts, all the venues have been leased, and all the staff have been hired. Once it is rescheduled or postponed, the loss of the crew is immeasurable. For those big crews, the consumption of tens of thousands of dollars a day is nothing at all, but for independent small crews, the cost of thousands of dollars a day is extremely painful.
James McAvoy bounced the ticket at the last crucial moment, which was simply a miserable situation for the entire crew. But what can they say? The small crew has no human rights. Compared with big brands like "X-Men", the thighs are not as thick as other people's fingers, so they can only swallow it.
"You are our only and first choice at the moment. When there is an emergency, Will thinks of you first. He watched 'Crazy Love' in Park City and stayed with your performance. Very impressed. Will firmly believes that you are the best choice. If you refuse us again, we don't know what to do."
Seth's words were of course embellished, and Renly was indeed their first turn of call - on-the-go, solid acting, age-appropriate, dedicated to indie films, and most importantly, affordable. But if Renly refused, they had a backup plan, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Joseph's temperament is also very close to the ideas in their minds, but in the past two years, he has dedicated "and Summer".
Joseph, who has two wonderful works of "500 Days of My Life" and "Inception", has a different price.
Rumor has it that Joseph is infinitely close to playing Robin in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises." Joseph himself is quite fond of independent films, but his agent will be extremely difficult. If you want to reach a consensus in terms of remuneration, as well as the issue of schedule, it is bound to be not that simple.
To be honest, Seth really wanted Renly to nod in agreement.
"Renly, before you decide, do you have time to listen to the character?" Seth said eagerly, not forgetting his sense of humor, "at three in the morning."
Renly sat on the sofa, adjusted to a comfortable position, and said sincerely, without embarrassing Seth, "I'm listening."
"This is an uncomplicated script, and our budget doesn't allow the story to be too complicated." Seth's little humor between his words and deeds really makes people laugh, "The protagonist of the story is called Adam, when he was twenty-five years old When he was diagnosed with cancer, it disrupted his quiet life."
Seth didn't speak very fast, and his hoarse voice always made people think that he might cough up phlegm at any time, but unexpectedly, these simple words had real power, and they were really moving.
"He tried to calm down, tried to deal with it calmly, and then told everyone around him about his condition, and faced it bravely. While shocked, sad, and sad, Adam gradually discovered that when we ignore cancer , a lot of fun things happened, and life seemed to be interesting again. At the same time, Adam's body began to gradually improve."
Seth gushed, the words seemed to stop at all.
"Cancer is a sad thing, even a painful thing. But beyond cancer, life goes on. In addition to love and family, there is also friendship, the most important and touching friendship, which accompanies us through life. difficulties.”
Renly's mood slowly settled down. Friendship, an integral part of life, was also the emotion he cherished most in his life. Just hearing this, Renly had already made up his mind: he wanted to take the script.
"Huh, please forgive my rudeness, I need to wipe my tears." Seth's serious words said such sentimental content, inexplicably a sense of joy, with a strong sarcasm, "I mean, this script It's full of sincerity. Because the story here is not made up, it's a real story that I and Will and his family have experienced together."
Seton paused and said with emotion, "Will is will-reiser, my good friend. He is the Adam in the story. I won't deny it, I like this script, it's A script full of passion and emotion. After reading the script, I was very moved, because it depicted a person's life in a humorous and joking way, and I happened to be involved in this life."
"In this work, I will play myself, so it shouldn't be difficult. For the role of Adam, Will wants you to play, because you are the most suitable actor."
Seth said quickly, as if he couldn't wait to pour out all the thoughts in his mind at once, that sincerity and sincerity, without the slightest concealment.
"To be honest, you are much more handsome than Will. I don't know if Will thinks you are the most suitable actor for the sake of beautifying himself, because from this point of view, you are not suitable." Seth's teasing made the corners of Renly's mouth rise, "But other than that, I can't think of anyone more suitable than you. There is tenacity in that vulnerability, and there is a weeping in it. With a smiling temperament, I believe you can give this character a whole new life!"
After he finished talking, Seth let out a long sigh, the bamboo tube was over, and his head was a little deprived of oxygen, and then he realized that Renly didn't speak from beginning to end, which made him nervous, "So, you how do you feel?"
Before Renly could answer, he couldn't wait to add, "I know that this is an independent work, and the remuneration may not be too high; I also know that such a small-scale work may not attract much attention. It's too high. But I sincerely hope that you will play. This is Will's life, this is my life, and it is the life of countless cancer patients, and we hope this story can be shared with more people."
Suddenly, Renly envied Will. Seth was really a good friend, he could feel it.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Seth, I have a question." Renly's words made Seth's heart rise, "You just told stories, but not too much about the characters. I'm just not sure, what kind of character is this?"
It's a lot of fun to tease Seth Rogen.
