1226 piled up into mountains
“Waiter, give me an espresso, thank you.”
“Espresso? I thought you were more into hot chocolate.”
A smile appeared at the corners of Renly's mouth and eyes, and the coffee in front of him exuded a lingering aroma, slowly spreading in the thin but warm afternoon sunshine of Los Angeles; then you could see Andy's smiling expression. , looked at Renly meaningfully, pulled out the chair, sat down awkwardly, and responded in a warm tone..
“The culprit is still teasing me about my choice? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a headache." But after he finished speaking, Andy turned to look at the waiter, "Let's change it to hot chocolate. In addition, I also need two donuts, chocolate. Flavored, forget it, let’s stick with the original flavor." After explaining, he turned to look at Renly and explained additionally, "I still need to control my weight..”
Americans always like to deceive themselves and choose Diet Coke, or coffee without cream, or pancakes with less syrup, which seems to reduce the intake of sugar and starch. Even if the weight cannot be truly reduced, but At least I can achieve the purpose of self-comfort mentally..
Renly didn't try to dissuade him, he just nodded with a smile. This simple gesture had a profound meaning in Andy's eyes. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in protest. Helplessly, Renly could only shrug and explained: , "I am still more accustomed to your current appearance. You know, you are deceptive and can always confuse others inadvertently, and then achieve the purpose of negotiation.".”
“Hey! I'm a good person! Please don't insult my professionalism! " Andy complained seriously, but seeing Renly's calm and calm expression, his counterattack failed..
Andy has long been used to this, especially after learning about Renly's life background, everything seemed to be taken for granted, so Andy didn't say anything more and changed the topic very calmly, "About that production project , what is going on? Are you serious?？”
Renly picked up the coffee in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't understand the meaning of Andy's words and cast a questioning look..
Andy took a deep breath, his excitement gradually calmed down, and he reorganized his thoughts..
An hour ago, Andy received an email from Renly, in which he mentioned a script project and asked for his opinion to see which producer or production company might be more interested; except In addition, Renly also said that he will pass the script project to the Coen brothers and Steven Spielberg to exchange opinions with them..
It seemed like an extremely simple and casual email, but Andy was frightened by a critical hit. He immediately asked about Renly's location, and rushed over in a hurry. He was so anxious all the way that he couldn't calm down at all; now Looking at Renly's confusion, Andy immediately realized that Renly didn't realize how important this matter was..
“What I mean is, if you are interested in being a producer, or creating a movie project according to your own ideas, as long as the news is released, the whole Hollywood will be turbulent." After adjusting with rapid breathing, Andy returned to normal. The pearl of wisdom is in hand, and the tone has returned to normal, and there is an unquestionable confidence between the lines..
Andy looked at Renly and continued, "Not to mention other things, the projects in my hands are already overflowing. There are more than twenty noteworthy projects. As for those projects that are only for reference..." After a pause, Andy himself couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You know, we have specially arranged an office to place the works that you have been invited to. In addition, there are two interns who are responsible for reading and sorting out these projects and providing an systematic review list.”
“Like a library? "Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a curious look..
Andy couldn't help but choked on his words, but he still nodded helplessly, "Yes, just like the library." Then the smile on the corner of his mouth rose helplessly, and he shook his head repeatedly, "Renly, you are still unconscious now. So, what does the name 'Renly Hall' really mean, right?？”
Renly tilted his head slightly, pursed his lips slightly, and said calmly and nonchalantly, "You mean, outside the shining halo of hereditary nobles?？”
The self-deprecating joke made Andy's smile grow brighter, "Yes, outside the halo of hereditary nobility. To put it simply, you can make any work now as long as you want." This seems to be a bit exaggerated, but In real life, Andy is so confident that no one can refuse Renly, not even Ron Meyer and Harvey Weinstein..
“Including 'Crack Drummer'? "Renly's answer made Andy choke. He just felt helpless, but he had no choice but to nod in affirmation, "Yes, including the 'Exploding Drummer'’.”
Renly pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "That would be great. This is good news..”
Andy was stunned for a moment, but this time he did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked at Renly seriously, his brows furrowed slightly, showing a suspicious look, "You did it on purpose, right?"？”
In fact, Renly already understood what Andy meant, but he kept deliberately making trouble, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning of Andy's words..
Renly shrugged lightly, picked up the coffee, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "Andy, your reaction is too slow today." Then, ignoring Andy's depressed and helpless expression, he slowly began to enjoy it. Got my own coffee.
Andy put his hands on his chubby beer belly and patted it a few times. He rethought the conversation just now and had to admit that Renly's teasing was correct, "Renly, I thought we had reached a consensus. Slow down for now, take a good rest and relax for a while. After you recover, we will discuss the next work..”
“If you are ready now and want to start the journey again, then I have enough works on hand for you to choose slowly." Andy slowed down his tone, and the examples in just a few words were enough to make him happy. People were dumbfounded, "Marvel Studios has always been interested in inviting you to star in superheroes, Green Lantern, Doctor Strange, and the new version of Iron Man. It's up to you to choose these roles. Choose a role that you are satisfied with or interested in, and then sit back and slow down." Discuss the script slowly.”
“20th Century Fox currently has an outer space project about Mars or Venus. After hearing about your outstanding performance in "Gravity", they are very interested in inviting you to star in this project. The script is currently completed. If you If you like, you can always start reading the script and understand the situation.”
“Also, Christopher Nolan, haven’t you always wanted to work with him? He is currently preparing for his latest project, and the name that has been revealed internally should be 'Interstellar'. He is considering writing a role specifically for you. He is very happy to sit down and talk to you face to face, but the premise is that you are ready now alright.”
“Also, David Fincher, after missing "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" last time, he is now preparing for a new project, which is also based on the novel. He also called to inquire about your intention and see what you will do next. Schedule and work arrangements for half a year.”
“Yes, yes, Lucasfilm, Lucasfilm! After Disney acquired Lucasfilm, they are now planning to restart the 'Star Wars' series. They intend to let you take the lead, target young audiences, and create a new character based on you, possibly based on your real age. That’s it. The specific story concept is still in the brainstorming stage. You can completely participate in the creation of the characters..”
“Do you understand? 'Star Wars', that's 'Star Wars'’！”
In a hurry, Andy listed off a lot of super productions of super blockbusters, and any project he picked at his fingertips. These are all works that are enough to set off a storm in the entire Hollywood, and now Renly is all these works. The number one choice on the list of protagonists, even the only choice.
At the end of his words, Andy's eyes fell on Renly with great sincerity, "Renly, as long as you ask, any project is not a problem, but please allow me to complete my work, okay? Every time This happens every time. You pick out the works first, and then let me complete the subsequent salary negotiations. This is really a kind of frustration and torture for me. I hope you know that I can become a better employee. As an agent, I can help you get better opportunities for your work..”
Renly held the coffee, the aroma lingering under his nose, and listened quietly. In just a few words, he could capture many familiar super projects, such as "Green Lantern", "Doctor Strange", "Interstellar", "Gone Girl," "The Martian," "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and more.
In the past, Renly would have been very excited, eager to participate in it immediately, and began to think about the characters and performances in each work. Even if it was a superhero movie from Marvel Studios, it would be interesting to analyze it. thing, but now, the charm of these chemical reactions seems to have disappeared.
Just like "explosive drummer".
Renly knew that this was a masterpiece, and one that he liked very much, and that the characters and performances were likely to achieve breakthroughs again; but reason was reason, and emotion was full of fatigue and sleepiness, and those sparkling projects were just It just slipped past my ears, never making any waves, and my heart felt as still as water..
This is not normal. But Renly also understands that he just needs to rest and adjust for a period of time, quietly waiting for the spark to reappear, and then plunge into the world of performance again..
Andy's last words temporarily interrupted Renly's thoughts. He raised his head to meet Andy's gaze. Renly put down the coffee and said solemnly, "Andy, I thought we reached a consensus. I am very satisfied with the current cooperative relationship. Believe me, your work is far more important than you think. It is an honor to have you as my agent..”
