To be honest, Renly hasn't thought about his next plan yet..
“The filming process of "Gravity" was extremely hard. It consumed almost all the energy. It was really exhausted physically and mentally. Every day was intense and hard. Before the filming was completed, Renly had no chance or time to think about his future plans. Even Andy was in no hurry to make arrangements..
Maybe, he should take a good rest for a while and really relax himself; maybe, he should start looking for the next suitable script project to continue the performance status and gains of "Gravity"; maybe, he should be proactive Participate in the public relations during the awards season to further establish your reputation and connections in the industry.
Maybe, he should call Paul, go surfing in Hawaii together, and enjoy the heat and refreshment in the cold winter; maybe, he should stay in New York, stay at home, read some books, go to Mount Sinai Hospital, and have a cup of coffee with friends, Have a nice time.
But, Renly really didn't think about it seriously..
Today, "Gravity" has just finished filming, and the Coen brothers have already appeared at the photography base and gave them the most perfect and suitable choice..
“"The Ballad of the Drunken Country" was originally the work that Renly was most eager to star in. In terms of the integration of personal experience and character stories, it is even better than "Gravity". This is undoubtedly the best choice to further polish his acting skills..
Especially after stripping away the technical shooting difficulties of the latter, and breaking away from the shackles of light boxes and computer special effects, all the weight of the plot falls on the actors, and the performance challenge will return to the traditional track; of course, with music way to blend performances, which is also the first time in Renly's career.
At the same time, schedule is no longer a problem, the director's sincerity is touching enough, and even the character's image has been carefully taken care of - when they first met, Joel's reaction and evaluation now have appropriate reasons..
The biggest worry is that Renly has just finished filming "Gravity" and needs a good rest and adjustment. Not only does he need to regain his physical strength, but he also needs to regain his spirit and get rid of the influence of Ryan Stone's character. The influence of the space environment re-enters the performance world of "Drunk Folk Folk".
But for Renly, this is not entirely a bad thing.
From a negative point of view, adjustments are necessary; but from a positive point of view, the state of looking safe on the outside but heavy and tired deep down is precisely the best interpretation of Le'Veon Davis, but it is easier. enter state.
What's more, the biggest difference between "Gravity" and works such as "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love" is that Renly did not really lose control or really lose himself. After being polished by "Les Misérables" After that, it becomes easier and easier to get rid of the influence of the character. Therefore, the so-called worry can actually become a weapon for excellent actors..
As the saying goes, everything falls into place and everything becomes logical. Therefore, Renly has no reason to refuse and no need to think..
“When are we going back to New York? Renly's eyes fell on Ethan and asked with a smile, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" If it were today, it would be too late.”
Joel and Ethan did not react, they exchanged glances, and then they both looked at Renly again, with a light of disbelief deep in their eyes. Joel was the first to ask, "Renly, who are you?" explain……”
Renly nodded and confirmed, "Thank you for the invitation. It is an honor for me to be able to join the cast of 'The Ballad of Drunken Country'. Just now, you said that the male protagonist's name is Llewyn Davis."？”
Joel opened his mouth wide, nodded constantly, and rubbed his hands. He was smiling and excited, but he couldn't make any sound. He was just uncontrollably excited..
Ethan also clenched his fists heavily, "Welcome, warm welcome. Well... I mean, welcome to the crew." As a producer, Ethan quickly calmed down, "First of all, our request is , all singing in the movie must be performed live, studio recording is not allowed, of course, we will also record a studio album later.”
As expected, they were the Coen brothers, who lived within the system but still had their own personalities. Renly had just nodded and agreed to cooperate. There was no contract signed in black and white, and he couldn't wait to make many demands. He didn't worry about asking for too much, and just put them in. The actor was scared away.
Moreover, it was Ethan who spoke at this time, not Joel..
However, Renly is obviously the same type of person as the Coen brothers. One moment he agreed to the invitation to perform, and the next moment he entered a professional state..
“Do you have a master tape now? "After the recording of "Don Quixote", Renly also had a preliminary understanding of the music industry, and he was not completely blind. Although he couldn't put it down in his previous life, he listened to the soundtrack of this movie over and over again, but Renly has not forgotten that in this life he probably knows nothing about movie songs..
“Yes, we are always available and welcome your comments. We all know that you are a great folk singer. To be honest, we even considered giving you the entire album to produce, but obviously...you It was really difficult to make an appointment, so we had no choice but to give up this obsession." As he spoke, Ethan couldn't help but laugh, feeling extremely happy..
This time when they came to Surrey, the Coen brothers originally had a desperate idea..
Because of Joel's unruly nature, he has offended many agents and actors over casting issues, and things have become difficult, including actors from the Innovative Artists Agency. The progress of the project has gradually slowed down and is full of difficulties; and, Renly had just finished filming a film, and he must be physically and mentally exhausted now. They were not sure whether Renly was still willing to join another crew seamlessly..
This trip is indeed full of many variables.
Now, Renly has nodded his head and agreed to join so neatly. This is definitely a huge surprise! Even though Ethan is mature and steady, it is inevitable that he would be ecstatic at this time.
“Secondly, we need to make some changes in appearance. Ha, it’s incredible to say that, I think no one has ever been picky about your appearance.” Ethan also joked easily..
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Believe me, there are far more picky things in this area than you think." After all, Renly is too young..
Ethan reacted immediately, laughed dumbly, nodded repeatedly, and shrugged, "Sorry, but we have to join this ranks now. We need to challenge some more vicissitudes of life and decadence, more embarrassing and embarrassing looks." Ethan After finishing speaking, he chuckled, "Being charming is a very important thing, but LeVeon Davis needs more decadent sex/sense..”
It’s about age, but it’s not just about age, it’s more about the character of Llewyn.
So far, Renly has played many roles, including a young college student in "Crazy Love", a blue-collar driver in "Buried Alive", a tough guy in "Edge of Tomorrow", and a gloomy teacher in "Transcendence"... But he has never She has never shown her sexual side, and it is still that decadent and vicissitudes of life..
this is indeed a challenge.
Le'Veon Davis is a bastard. To many people, he is a self-centered, paranoid, arrogant bastard who goes his own way; but this bastard must have a unique charm that makes it difficult for people to hate him. charm.
Different from the transformation and growth of the character in "Edge of Tomorrow", LeVine is always a jerk until the end of "The Ballad of Tomorrow". People's attitude towards LeVine is very mixed, mixed with pity, sympathy, and helplessness. , but also mixed with admiration, admiration and pity, not just disgust, not just like, but a complex emotion that cannot be refused.
Therefore, how to present a bastard that cannot disgust the audience is crucial for actors.
This also means that Renly must challenge a role that he has never tried in his career. Moreover, this has something to do with acting skills, but has nothing to do with acting skills. It is more about grasping the temperament of a character-this is exactly what Renly was in his previous life. The reason why I love Oscar Isaac’s Le’Veon Davis so much. Now, it’s Renly’s turn to take on such a challenge..
“Decadent sex/sense? "Renly's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he pursed his lips, "You mean, feeling like Ryan Gosling?？”
Roy and Nathan, who were standing nearby, imagined the scene Renly mentioned. In "Blue Valentine's Day", Ryan did show a decadent sexiness. It seemed somewhat similar, but he brought it into his own. After the storyline, but couldn't help but shake his head, Joel interjected, "No, what we need is a Renly Hall-type feeling.”
Renly didn't answer, but nodded meaningfully, as if he was thinking about it in his mind..
Ethan continued, "Also, are you allergic to cats?？”
“In the story "The Ballad of the Drunken Country", a cat appears. This cat has profound meaning. It is called Ulysses..
Ulysses has two classic sources of allusions. One is ancient Greek mythology. He is always wandering and struggling, becoming a hero, but he has gone through many vicissitudes; the other is from the Irish writer James Joyce. This masterpiece is known as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. It uses a story that happened in one day to show the epic of two nations, but it is also a long journey of self-identity..
In a sense, this cat named Ulysses is actually a projection of Lewin's life, symbolizing the cycle of life. Through this cat, the images of Lewin and Ulysses reflect each other, It interprets the true core meaning of that era, that character, and that story written by the Coen brothers.——
They go around in circles, over and over again, ups and downs, after all, they are just looking for themselves..
He gave up certain persistence, gave up certain lives, gave up certain beliefs, and compromised with life step by step. At the last moment, after giving up his dreams and freedom, he also gave up on himself and became a mediocre person in society. An epitome of inaction, completely losing its sense of existence.
Therefore, in the movie, the cat named Ulysses is actually a hidden thread in the story. It depends on whether the audience can taste the meaning..
