117 preliminary planning
“buried alive”？
Renly was a little surprised. Andy visited the thatched cottage three times today. It was obvious that the real driving force was the Emmy Awards, just like Fisher. However, Andy did not mention the Emmy Awards first, but focused on "Buried Alive". This is indeed an unusual path. However, this is also one of the reasons why Renly chose Andy..
Renly began to mention the work "Buried Alive". Andy listened very carefully and even asked in detail about the script and some details of the shooting. Then he crossed his hands on his belly, just like Maitreya Buddha. , fell into deep thinking. Even when thinking, that smile still hung on his lips, as if it had become a habit..
“To put things in perspective, this is an independent work, and your absolute one-man show occupies 99% of the scenes; and you constantly challenged yourself during the filming process, and the difficulty of your performance even exceeded that of "Pacific War". Is that so? " Andy concluded, and Renly nodded in affirmation, "I have nothing to add..”
“By the way, how long is the shooting cycle?？”
“eight days.”
Andy thought about it carefully again. Renly was actually not too curious about these things, because these were all the broker's expertise. Since he had hired an agent, it would be better to leave these professional and tedious matters to professionals. . However, this is the early stage of the cooperation between the two people. They need to get along, understand, and develop trust. Otherwise, the next time Renly wants to star in an independent film like "Buried Alive", how can he be sure that Andy will Will I go all out to win a role for him?？
“What is your opinion about this work? "Renly didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point..
Andy raised his head and did not answer immediately, but nodded slightly, "It's a good thing, to be precise, it's a happy event. The situation is far better than I imagined.".”
Now, Andy is a little lucky that Renly has signed a contract with him instead of Fisher. In terms of film selection and career planning, Renly is determined and wise enough. Maybe it is more troublesome to cooperate with such a person. , there is no way to simply operate with the "vase" route, but once the cooperation is successful, the final limit is worth looking forward to.
“Do you remember what we talked about the last time we met? I think it’s best for you to start with independent works, establish a public impression of excellent acting skills, and then try to win a nomination at the awards ceremony. Next, we can try some distinctive commercial scripts and explore different possibilities.” Andy's words were fluent and coherent. It was obvious that he had already stored Renly's career plan in his mind, although it was only today that Renly nodded in agreement..
The confidence revealed behind this quietly showed its edge - he was so sure that Renly would definitely sign a contract with him.
Andy gave a big smile, "So, here we are. You first earned an Emmy nomination and then starred in an independent film that pushed your acting skills to the extreme. God, we couldn't have prayed for better. situation." Before this, Andy's knowledge of Renly was always just a guess and a speculation, but after hearing the details of "Buried Alive", he finally confirmed his thoughts and also confirmed own plan.
“Next, if nothing else happens, "Buried Alive" should land in Toronto - at least let us pray that the quality of the finished product can reach this level. Then we will go to Telluride and watch those small movies in New York, Rome and Europe Festival, by the way, are you British? Maybe we can go to London……”
Andy's simple words revealed too much information. The places he mentioned all have their own film festivals, and each film festival is a carnival feast for movie fans. Among them, the Telluride Film Festival is Renly The film festival I have always wanted to visit surpasses the Sundance Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival - the former is the highest stage for independent films, and the latter is the oldest film festival. It can be seen that Renly has a deep love for Telluride Film Festival. He was so eager to take part in it, and his blood began to boil just by imagining that he could participate in it..
Different from ordinary film festivals, the Telluride Film Festival is truly a carnival for movie fans, because the main committee does not set any awards or red carpets, and completely opens the film festival to all movie fans, allowing movies to Fans enjoy the beauty of movies in this small town.
For Renly, this is a place of worship. In his last life, he had watched thousands of movies, but he had never really found a loyal and experienced movie lover to communicate with. Telluride abandoned commercial promotion like that. , abandoning professional authority, abandoning the threshold for viewing movies, and truly handing over the choice to the general public, is completely the ultimate dream..
“If our momentum is good after December, we may be able to look forward to your first Golden Globe nomination. Then, your choices will be completely different.” The ambition revealed in the words is impressive. , especially when such strong words are spoken from a face that always has a smile, it really feels a bit inconsistent..
Andy took the initiative to cut off the rest of the words and clicked until the end. Because he knew it was not too early to be happy. The annual awards season can be said to be a chaotic battlefield with thousands of troops swarming in. Until the last moment, who will No one knows how the outcome will develop. What's more, the quality of "Buried Alive" and the level of Renly's performance are still unknown..
Then, Andy changed the topic, "The future will be left to time. First, we need to start in Toronto." If "Buried Alive" can't even be shortlisted for Toronto's competition, then all the ideas just now are fantasy. "No, we should start with the director first. Give me the director's contact information. He is also the producer, right? We need to communicate and plan carefully.".”
Renly had also come to his senses at this time. In his last life, "Buried Alive" did not receive any recognition during the awards season, not even a nomination. He almost disappeared. Therefore, how will this life develop? This is also a question. huge unknown.
“I didn't know that actors' agents actually interfered with the distribution of movies." Renly calmed down and joked with a smile..
Andy said calmly, "If it is an independent film, and it is a film in which I play the leading role, then yes, I will interfere in the distribution and promotion of the film. Maybe not directly involved in those works, but at least I will It can help them find more reliable distribution companies.”
The vast network of agents is unimaginable; the energy of top agents is also unimaginable.
“Before Toronto, we still have a major task that needs to be dealt with first." Andy sorted out his thoughts. He had just taken over Renly's agency contract, and everything had to start from scratch, and the "Pacific War" and the potential "Buried Alive" were both There's value in further planning and Andy knows the rest of the year is going to be incredibly busy, which is a good sign.
“Emmy Awards.”
Renly nodded with a smile. It had only been a few hours since he learned that he had been nominated for the Emmy Award. He still didn't have much sense of reality. "I just heard the news this afternoon..”
“’"Pacific War is definitely a big show." Andy summed it up in one sentence. With his introduction, Renly finally learned about the nominations for this year's Emmy Awards..
In the miniseries and TV movie department of "The Pacific War", this year's competition was somewhat unbalanced. The competition in the miniseries was not fierce at all. In the end, only two works, "The Pacific War" and "The Clandford Chronicle", were shortlisted for nomination. ; But the competition for TV movies is extremely fierce, with six works winning nominations, "Autism", "Doctor Death", "Special Relationships", "Moon Probe", "Game End" and "Georgia Oakie". "Fu" was successfully shortlisted.
Therefore, in terms of overall projects and technical projects, "Pacific War" has an absolute advantage and is unparalleled. However, in projects such as directors, screenwriters, and actors that merge and compete with mini-series and TV movies, it will face severe tests..
Despite this, "Pacific War" relied on the huge advantage of the technical department to overwhelmingly win 24 nominations, including double nominations for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects. The Best Mixing Department even occupied four of the five nomination seats. In terms of the number of nominations alone, "Pacific War" surpassed "Band of Brothers" and reached a new high..
However, the biggest breakthrough for "The War in the Pacific" undoubtedly came from the nomination for Best Actor. Together with Judi-Dench of "Cradford Chronicle", it became the mainstay of this year's miniseries - —There are a total of twenty nominations in the acting department, of which miniseries only received two, while TV movies swept the remaining eighteen.
Even among the twenty nominees, Renly is the most eye-catching outlier. He is only twenty years old, making his debut in a miniseries focusing on war scenes, and a drama in which ensemble drama dominates the theme, but Renly relies on The delicate and solid, profound and far-reaching performance successfully won the love of the judges and received the first nomination of his career, making him an instant success.！
A real blockbuster.
“When you attend the award ceremony, you will definitely be the focus of everyone's attention. Before that, you were a nobody, an insignificant guy, and no one knew your name at all; but now, you have and Al-Pa Sino and Jeff Bridges are qualified to compete on the same stage. No matter what the result is, you have succeeded..”
Andy did not hesitate to express his exclamations. Looking at Renly in front of him, he suddenly had an idea, so he asked casually, "Do you want to win the prize?"？”
“Yes." Renly's answer was crisp, concise and clear, without any circumlocution. He showed his mentality straightforwardly. Even in the face of four senior actors, even in the face of four Oscar-winning actors, even in the face of For an actor who has been famous for a long time and has a long history, even if he is nominated for the first time with his debut film, Renly still has no flinch, let alone any hesitation..
Andy's smile fell to his eyes and he nodded involuntarily, "Then we'd better start with the suit. The red carpet is where everything starts..”
