Looking back a few years ago, not long after "War in the Pacific" premiered, Andy was optimistic about Renly's prospects, so he visited him in person. Unexpectedly, Renly was extremely difficult to deal with, arrogant and self-centered, smart and rational, and in a roundabout way, Renly... After Andy visited the thatched cottage three times, he successfully signed a contract with Renly..
At that time, Andy's only thought was: finally！
But now, after the passage of time, Andy and Renly's contract renewal was effortless. With just a phone call and less than thirty seconds, Renly placed a contract worth tens of millions of dollars on Andy's desk. In front of Di, he continued the cooperative relationship between them in an understatement..
Previously, the brokerage industry had made an estimate. Renly's brokerage contract is now worth at least 10 million to 15 million per year. This is just a conservative estimate. If you are bolder, 20 million is a safe number..
It is worth noting that this refers specifically to the agent's income, not Renly's income - the five major agencies, led by Innovative Artist Agency, take a commission of 10%..
This is the current prediction of Renly’s market value by industry insiders.
Why is Renly so popular? Even the Innovative Artist Management Company doesn’t hesitate to stab people in the back? this is the reason.
For Andy, this contract worth tens of millions is extremely important; but what is more precious is the trust from Renly. This friendship is irreplaceable. Even after experiencing countless storms, Andy's nose Still can't help but feel a little sore.
Later, Renly and Andy officially completed the contract renewal, neatly ending all the chaos. However, before hanging up the phone, Renly mentioned again, "Remember not to tell Matthew about this matter.".”
After the contract renewal is completed, "The Ballad of Drunken Country" will be Renly's first job.
Although Renly joked that the salary for the film was only half a million, and the Creative Artists Management Company looked down upon it at all. This was really unfavorable for Andy's situation within the company; but the reality was different..
After Andy and Renly completed their contract renewal, Andy's status and weight within the company were completely different..
Everyone knows that this is not just a contract, but also a trust from Renly, just like Johnny Depp trusted Tracy Jacobs. Next, no matter what works Renly stars in , as long as it can continue to succeed, Andy's position will be unshakable. Compared with short-term interests, long-term interests are the most important..
Therefore, Andy just said that he has the opportunity to become a partner of the company this year..
What's more, "Drunk Country Ballads" is not a casual work..
On the one hand, Renly's collaboration with the Coen brothers is highly anticipated. This is Renly's once again collaboration with a top director after Alfonso Cuaron, and his career as an actor is becoming more and more stable. Putting aside the quality of the finished film , such a strong alliance is a good thing for the future development of young actors.
On the other hand, after going around in circles, Renly finally joined the crew of "The Ballad of Drunken Country". Andy could sense from the beginning that Renly really wanted to star in this work, so in the past six For months, Andy always paid attention to the crew's movements and maintained communication with the Coen brothers.——
At the last moment, the Coen brothers went to the Surrey photography base, which was also facilitated by Andy..
This is called "cooperation". The cooperation between the agent and the actor. Andy made full use of his own resources and abilities to realize the actor's wishes. This is far from the value that "salary of half a million yuan" can represent. Now, The cooperative relationship between the two is still on the right path.
Therefore, "Gravity" has just finished filming, and "The Ballad of Drunken Country" is already ready to be launched. Now it is just waiting for Renly to leave England and fly to New York, and then it can be launched at any time..
There are definitely many works and crews that choose to start filming in January. Many independent films are willing to choose this time to enter the production cycle; but in Hollywood, this is not common because this is the most lively moment of the awards season. The time of annual statistical harvest, because this is the busiest time for public relations.
Especially for practitioners like the Coen Brothers and Renly, who have repeatedly occupied an important position in the awards season, they cannot be missed..
But for the Coen brothers, the long wait finally ushered in their favorite actor, and they naturally couldn't wait to get into work. What's more, this year's awards season has nothing to do with them, and it has nothing to do with Renly. too many relationships.
At this moment, on the North American continent, the 2012 awards season craze is going on with great excitement. Various seed contestants are gradually coming to the fore and making their debut. And as the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is getting closer, the attention and attention are still rising. Without a doubt, this is the busiest season of the year in Hollywood.
Among all this, Renly, who has always been dazzling and strong in the past few years, has truly fallen silent for the first time this year..
“"Transcendence" is a work that can still be mentioned from time to time, but more often than not, people express their admiration for the absolute strength of the performance, but also express regret that such a performance failed to enter the awards season..
However, this is the awards season. Weakness and slackness in public relations are fatal to any award season work. What's more, the "detached" style and subject matter are not in line with the orientation of the Oscars. So, regret it. Sorry, the attention and conversation quickly shifted to the seeded contestants of this year's awards season, and Renly was forgotten in the blink of an eye..
In mid-January, when all eyes were focused on the upcoming Golden Globe Awards, the "Hollywood Reporter" updated the latest industry news that had nothing to do with the Golden Globe Awards.：
“Renly Hall's first collaboration with the Coen Brothers officially confirmed.”
In a detailed report, they stated that Renly is currently filming "Gravity" in full swing in the UK. The crew has not finished filming yet, but the next project has been decided. Renly will join forces with the Coen brothers, the giants of the independent film industry. Collaborate to shoot a work about folk songs.
According to internal sources, Joel Coen made it clear that one of the important sources of inspiration for the film was Renly and his album "Don Quixote", which directly led to the birth of the leading actor Llewyn Davis..
There is no doubt that Renly is the number one choice for the leading role. Due to scheduling reasons, the cooperation was not able to be achieved before, but after many twists and turns, they finally managed to secure Renly's joining..
One is a banner figure in American independent films, and the other is an acting representative of the new generation of independent films. This time, the cooperation between the two parties has also attracted much anticipation and attention..
“It is reported that after finishing the filming of "Gravity", Renly will immediately rush to New York to engage in the preliminary preparations and rehearsals of the new work, so that he can seamlessly enter the new work..
Currently, in addition to the male protagonist Renly, the confirmed actors include Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman and Garrett Hedlund. The casting has been It’s basically completed and will be officially shot next week.”
This piece of news from the "Hollywood Reporter" is undoubtedly a bombshell！
The Coen brothers have always liked to use big-name actors, such as George Clooney, Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem, Catherine Zeta-Jones, etc. They are not as popular as the "Avengers" Superstars, but all of them are top actors with good reputations in the industry and recognized by professionals. Finally, a powerful cast lineup was formed to create a work with the Coen Brothers' own style..
This time is no exception.
Carey Mulligan, who has firmly occupied a place in Hollywood with "Growing Up Education", John Goodman, who is known as Hollywood's most popular golden supporting actor, and Garnett Hurd, the representative of the new generation of tough guys. Lan, and Justin Timberlake, who has become an American pop culture icon……
With such a powerful cast, the finishing touch was to invite Renly to join the cast, completing all the puzzle pieces.！
It is definitely star-studded and has many topics. It is just in the project establishment stage, which is enough to become one of the most anticipated works of this year. The "Hollywood Reporter" reported it immediately and gave it a very high treatment..
It's a pity that this time's blockbuster news, amid the excitement of the awards season, was like a drop of hot oil falling into a pool of cold water, disappearing without a trace in an instant, without even causing any waves. I was drowned in the news frenzy.
For ordinary people, there is really not much excitement when the cast lineup of an independent film is finalized; and the best picture competition between "Escape from Tehran" and "Lincoln" is definitely more attractive..
For people in the industry, this news easily caught their attention. Just like the "Hollywood Reporter", although this year's awards season is not over yet, the combination of Renly and the Coen brothers seems to have been booked in advance for next year. A place in awards season.
Unexpected, but also reasonable.
The fundamental reason why the awards season can produce such a huge commercial effect is that the popularity of the topic remains high, and the star-studded focus is even more overwhelming; in comparison, the continuous success of "Les Misérables" and "Gravity" Renly, who has disappeared from the public for more than half a year, is naturally unable to shake the strong momentum throughout the awards season..
For the first time in these years, Renly's new work did not attract any attention. There was no expectation, no criticism, no discussion, and no opinions. It was like a breeze blowing by without leaving any ripples. It calmed down in an instant..
For Renly, this is actually a good thing.
Firstly, "The Ballad of Drunken Country" can focus on filming; secondly, Renly can have a good rest, which is exactly what he needs most right now..
When he arrived at London Heathrow International Airport, Renly, who was low-key wearing a woolen hat, did not cause any commotion or attention. He quietly and smoothly got on the plane and embarked on his journey back to New York..
