1123 Invite again
The long and arduous filming was finally officially completed. The pressure and tension on the shoulders could finally be relaxed and put aside. This made the atmosphere of the entire crew relaxed..
Renly and a group of friends walked side by side, and Rooney stood beside him, talking and laughing as they walked towards the dormitory. Then, their steps slowed down and stopped, looking at each other in confusion. There was a group of people at the door of the dormitory. In addition to the two guests, there was also Roy and the accompanying senior staff. The battle was quite big..
In an instant, all eyes fell on Renly..
But before Renly could respond, one of the tall, thin guests with glasses and curly hair walked up quickly and stood in front of Renly. He looked at him on the left side and on the right side. Then he said with excitement and expectation, "Very good, very good. Your current condition couldn't be better, but how fast are you growing your beard? Within a week, can you make it a little more messy? I think, Could use a little more beard.”
This guest's voice was full of joy and cheerfulness. At first, everyone thought it was a question or an exchange, but the words had just finished, leaving no time or space for Renly to answer. They turned their heads impatiently, He shouted excitedly, "Ethan, the beard is in good condition, not bad. But what about the hair? What do you think? Would it be more appropriate to grow it longer?？”
Then, he turned to look at Renly again, "Are you willing to grow your hair longer? Not like my length, I just mean, slightly, slightly longer than now. Do you have curly hair? If you grow it Does it look like you have curly hair when it grows longer? Does it take a month to grow? If so, it’s too late..”
Another long list of words, still leaving no room for an answer, he turned around and walked straight back with his head held high, "Ethan, I think he is too handsome and clean, and he has the feeling of a gentleman. , there is no problem with being handsome, but we need a bit of decadence and a sense of vicissitudes of life. If it is now, will it be too late?？”
“calm! calm! "Another guest kept pressing his hands down, and finally interrupted the gushing words, "Remember that video? Think back? The one in Pioneer Village? At that time, Renly didn't have a beard at all, it was all clean shaven, and he was even younger than he is now, but what about after he started performing? Do you remember?？”
“right! Yes, yes! How could I forget! Well, it's still different after entering the performance state, so there's no problem." The guest who stared at the big curly hair turned around and said happily, "Renly, then it's enough to grow a beard, we need you to add more A little vicissitudes of life, that’s all, short hair, short hair is no problem.”
Then, he began to rub his hands continuously. Even while standing still, his feet seemed to be stepping on a metronome, lifting and lowering them left and right, mumbling to himself, " What else, what else……”
Such a performance, like a child with ADHD, made people stunned and looked at each other. Even Rooney was no exception. He turned his head hesitantly and looked at Renly, "He...he is Joel Coen, right? The one next to him is Ethan. -Cohen？”
Coen brothers, the famous Coen brothers.
They have high prestige and popularity in the entire independent film industry, and they also have strong connections and status in the industry. Even top production companies like Warner Brothers are very happy to have a good relationship with them, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Got it.
As representatives of the top directors in the industry, their appearance is already well known, and they are often in focus, and their recognition is even higher..
Therefore, when they appeared in front of the staff, everyone recognized the two people immediately. They did not expect their visit at all, so they all showed expressions of surprise; but what was even more incredible was Joel's excited words. It's completely clueless and sounds like gibberish. It makes people confused and even more astonished..
Hearing the hesitation and hesitation in Rooney's words, Renly couldn't help but laugh, and nodded in affirmation, "Yes, he is Joel, and that one is Ethan." Then he saw Rooney coming over. Looking at the questioning gaze, Renly immediately spread his hands and answered in advance, "No, I don't know the reason why they appeared here. Neither Roy nor Nathan mentioned it to me before..”
In order to ensure the quality of the final stage of filming, Renly needed absolute silence and absolute devotion. Not only Nathan and Roy, but the entire crew did not dare to easily disturb Renly's schedule.——
Being trapped in a light box for fifteen or sixteen hours every day is exhausting, which also means that rest time is even more precious for Renly..
Rooney nodded in agreement, and then showed a slight smile, "But, they are the director, you are the actor, they came to the door in person, what other reason could there be? Isn't the answer obvious?？”
“It's a possibility, but I don't think that's the case today." Renly was also full of questions. Seeing the reaction of the Coen brothers, "The Ballad of Drunken Country" came to mind. , but then Renly denied his guess..
Nearly six months have passed since the last meeting. 2012 has turned into 2013. Even January has passed more than half. For the production cycle of a movie, this is enough. ; Moreover, works such as "Gravity" that need to solve technical problems have been completed, and the shooting of "Drunken Country Folk" will naturally be smoother..
Therefore, it couldn't be "Drunk Country Ballad". Renly immediately rejected his guess, but for a moment, he couldn't think of other projects or other reasons in his mind. Could it be for the Holy Elixir that will kick off next week? Sri Lanka Film Festival？
Then, another flash of inspiration occurred. "Fargo" was not the movie directed by the Coen brothers in 1996, but the series they served as producers in 2014..
The TV series is produced and broadcast by the cable TV station FX. It is based on the inspiration and creativity of the movie, but the script is re-created. All characters and all stories are re-written. It is completely independent. However, it still continues the Coen brothers' consistent black humor and social atmosphere. Reflection is amazing.
After the broadcast, "Fargo" received a lot of praise, and received a large number of nominations and trophies at the Golden Globe and Emmy Awards; it was subsequently renewed by FX TV, and it aired for a total of three seasons. Moreover, a different cast lineup is used in each season, which conforms to the development trend of short-form TV series. It can be said to be both popular and popular..
During their previous encounter, Renly and Ethan had briefly exchanged ideas..
The small screen of TV series will gradually become a better creative platform, because the big screen of movies has formed a fixed business model, and it takes more courage to break the constraints of the frame; while the small screen of TV has benefited from the rapid rise of cable TV stations and online platforms , the huge audience group has become the most important pillar, which gives them the courage and confidence to make more bold and profound attempts.
This is a future development direction. Although everyone does not agree with it now and does not pay much attention to it, in just two years, things will undergo earth-shaking changes. At that time, Ethan also disagreed with Renly's view. Could it be that, six months later, Ethan has now changed his mind?？
If it were "Fargo"……
Renly's mind is full of thoughts. Just like the last time they met, he still doesn't know the specific goals of the Coen brothers and has no clue at all; however, after a face-to-face conversation, all doubts will be answered..
Renly and Rooney exchanged glances, with a smile in their eyes. Rooney rubbed her hands, "The opportunity to collaborate with the Coen brothers is extremely rare for any actor. Now I have begun to be jealous. Got it.”
But Renly lowered his chin seriously, "I thought you were used to it." That confident retaliation made Rooney's eyes widen, and then Renly chuckled happily and stepped away. He picked up his steps and walked towards the location of the Coen brothers, saying hello politely, "Ethan, long time no see.".”
At this moment, Joel Coen realized that they didn’t even exchange simple greetings after they met. He quickly held Renly’s right hand and said, “Nice to see you again, Renly! In fact, we have been together for three days. We have arrived here before, but in order not to disturb your shooting work, we have been observing quietly. God, we finally meet now..”
Faced with Joel's enthusiasm, which was a complete change from last year's Berlin Film Festival, Renly had gradually gotten used to it. He nodded with a smile and said as a host, "I hope you enjoy these few days. As far as I know, the food of our crew still inherits the fine tradition of British food, which is not flattering..”
“Haha. Haha." Joel laughed happily, "The British humor can always make people smile..”
Ethan, who was standing next to him, finally found the gap and said with a smile, "Please forgive Joel for being crazy, he is a little too excited. I hope you don't mind..”
“If I care, should I say so directly, or should I tip you off? "Renly's response made Ethan stunned, and then Joel took the lead and laughed heartily, "Jesus Christ, the British are so lovable..”
Renly politely extended an invitation and gestured for them to enter the room, "No matter what the matter is, let's go in first and talk about it. It's January in Surrey and it's so cold that your lips have lost all feeling.".”
“Of course, of course." Ethan nodded repeatedly, and a group of people filed into the room. However, other staff members were not among them. Their curious eyes were all blocked outside the door, and they could only express their opinions one after another..
In the room, before they had time to sit down, Nathan was asking everyone whether they should choose tea or coffee, and Joel couldn't wait to say, "Renly, we came here specially today because we hope you can star in 'The Ballad of the Drunken Country'" this work.”
