1452 reluctant to give up love
In Renly's opinion, "Nightcrawler" is the best performance of Jack's career, and it may even be an unsurpassable monument..
And now that the script of "Nightcrawler" is in Renly's hands, then, the matter should be viewed in two parts.
On the one hand, if Renly plays the role of Louis, his performance method and content will be different from Jack's.
In his view, Louis is not just a night walker, but a product of the fast-paced life of contemporary society, a combination of entertainment to death, profit first, and indifference. In the face of sufficient interests, all Morality can be destroyed, and even laws can be broken. The coldness rooted in the blood is precisely the important reason for the fall of the Uncrowned King..
In comparison, Jack gives Louis more of a kind of madness, a heart-rending madness. All moral and legal boundaries are never meaningful. He always wanders around and plays with everything. When the opportunity to break the bottom line comes, he has no hesitation. The ground has crossed the line. This kind of darkness that comes from the bones has nothing to do with society. It is more about the formation of a personality..
To some extent, Jack's version of Louis is closer to the Joker in "The Dark Knight"; while Renly's understanding is closer to the Two-Face in "The Dark Knight".
Two different interpretation methods, not to mention high or low, but the temperament given to the film by the actors is completely different, and the final product is bound to be different as well..
Objectively speaking, if Renly plays the role, he hopes that Dan Gilroy can modify the second half, otherwise the whole theme will seem slightly wrong; and Jack's version of Louis is exactly what Gilroy hopes to see. arrived, what is expected to be presented.
From this perspective, Renly does not think that his performance will be inferior to Jack's, but he also does not think that his performance can surpass Jack's..
On the other hand, the importance of "Nightcrawler" and the character of Louis to Jack is indescribable.
Renly personally believes that this is the work that changed the direction of Jack's career..
In the previous life, after "Nightcrawler" was released, the overall reputation was good. Although the overall praise of the work reached a certain height, it stopped and failed to go further; but Jack's performance has been rising all the way, with rave reviews, and even Surpassing "Brokeback Mountain", he became the best seed player in the entire awards season..
This is also true. Jack has received nominations from many outposts such as the American Independent Spirit Award, the National Board of Review Award, the Golden Globe Award, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Award, etc., and has received countless awards throughout the awards season. Praise, vigorously launching an attack on the Oscars.
It's an accident, but it's also reasonable. So far, Jack has only won one nomination at the Oscars. The Best Supporting Actor for "Brokeback Mountain" was already in the distant year of 2005; but after that, Jack was nominated again. Nor was it favored by the Academy, with almost everyone expecting "Nightcrawler" to bring Jack a second nomination.
but……
When the Oscar nominations were announced, "Nightcrawler" only received one nomination for Best Original Screenplay, and Jack regretted being eliminated at the last moment..
“Bradley Cooper of "American Sniper" was not favored, and The Outpost almost did not receive a single actor nomination. However, relying on the strong public relations of director Clint Eastwood and Warner Bros., Squeezing out Jack, who was not escorted by a large film company, and replacing him, he was strongly shortlisted and caused a huge upset..
After the nomination list was announced, it caused a stir. Not only movie fans, but many industry insiders and Academy judges also expressed their regrets. This can also be called the biggest legacy of the 87th Oscar nomination stage..
Such a result is indeed very surprising. Although Jack tried to stay normal and didn't care too much, it can be seen from his subsequent career trajectory that this work and this shortcoming still brought about huge impact.
The following year, in the three works of "Shattered Life", "Iron Fist" and "Death Elevation", Jack chose a character with more explosive power than the academic style, and slowly began to exert his strength. Unfortunately, he was not able to break out in all of them. tight siege.
Later, Jack starred in "Nocturnal Animals" directed by Tom Ford as the male protagonist. This was also a gloomy and dark role. Jack successfully presented the thrilling and weird feeling in the movie. After the release, his performance once again received numerous praises, but... still no Oscar nomination.
Then there are works such as "Strong" and "Okja". It can be clearly noticed that Jack is following in the footsteps of Leonardo DiCaprio. He is becoming more and more fierce in his performances, and may even be too fierce. The pursuit of Oscars is destroying his persistence, and at the same time, his performance has fallen into a rut..
Until Renly was reborn and traveled through time, Jack was unable to change his situation. He seemed to be imprisoned in a cage. The path of performance became narrower and narrower, and he went to more extremes. Unless he could break and stand up again, he would not be able to change his situation. The future will inevitably go downhill.
The root of everything is back to "Night Walker". The unwillingness and regret of being so close but passing by inevitably have an impact after all..
If Renly is speaking, he firmly believes that the Oscar owes Jack a nomination for "Nightcrawler".
On the one hand, he is not necessarily the best choice; on the other hand, he is shackles and confinement belonging to his friends. Although Renly really likes the work "Nightwalker" and is eager to try it, he still has to refuse..
Works and roles that are missed can always be found again; but friends and lives that are missed may be missed forever. Renly does not have many true friends in Hollywood, and Jack can be considered one, not to mention, as a As an ordinary movie fan, Renly also really hopes to see Jack win an Oscar nomination for "Nightcrawler", which should have been his..
In this life, I don’t know if the existence of Renly, a little butterfly, can change the previous trajectory; but no matter what, Renly still hopes to see Jack’s version of “Nightcrawler” on the big screen.”.
Renly has never been an indecisive person. Now that he has made a decision, he will cut the knot quickly. After carefully reading the script, he raised his head and saw Andy's confident eyes. This made him Renly couldn't help but reveal a faint mischievous smile..
“No, I don't like it." Renly said simply, put the script on the coffee table again, and leaned back calmly..
Then, Renly could clearly see that the smug expression on Andy's face was solidifying bit by bit, and the face that still smiled was filled with confusion and confusion..
“Why? I think you will like this project very much. From the script structure to the character image to the performance level, this is a very interesting project. Didn’t you say before that you want to challenge some special roles and break the constraints of performance? And the framework? Then this is the best choice. Are you sure?？”
It's rare to see the panicked Andy in front of him, with a hint of anxiety and urgency, not only because the script of "Nightcrawler" was shot by Renly, but also because his understanding of Renly was skewed. Does this mean? Is there a problem with their collaboration? There is a deviation in the rhythm of the two people？
This time, Renly didn't answer or make a sound, he just stared at Andy quietly..
Andy's words fell in mid-air and could not be continued. He took the initiative to meet Renly's eyes, carefully and slowly looked at Renly's expression, but found nothing. But gradually, Andy tasted There was something different. If Renly had followed his usual habits, he would not have allowed the silence to continue like this. He was very willing to share his views on the project with him. This was how the cooperative relationship continued to improve..
Suddenly, an inspiration flashed in my mind.
Andy couldn't help but froze for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter. He shook his head slightly, raised his gaze again, and looked at Renly quietly. He didn't speak, and he didn't speak either. The two of them He remained silent like this, as if he was a child who has not grown up and is competing..
But in the end Andy was defeated and shook his head helplessly, "Renly, I'm serious, I'm not kidding. I'm not Roy, nor Nathan. Your prank has no effect.".”
This time, Renly didn't hold on any longer, he just stopped and raised the corner of his mouth..
Andy was actually still a little nervous, and his mood was soaring, but now it fell heavily. He felt relieved, and his suspicion was finally confirmed, but he couldn't help but chuckle, "Jesus Christ, you did it on purpose. right？”
Renly shrugged lightly, noncommittal, "Andy, I like this script very much, but I can't take on this project..”
“What? Andy didn't quite understand, but he blurted out his question, "Why?" You like this script, is there anything stopping you from doing it next? except yourself.”
“As you said, this is a very good script. Personally, I like it very much, from the characters to the story. It will be an interesting thing if I can play the role of Louis." said As he spoke, Renly couldn't help but imagine it again. Cutting off love, giving up love, indeed we still need to let go. After all, it is not an easy task..
Renly decided not to think about it any further, "But I think there is someone more suitable for this role than me. I will be extremely sorry if he misses this role. If possible, I would like to recommend this person to the producers of this project." actor, and personally endorse him, believe me, he is more suitable than me.”
“who? Andy said bluntly, "In all of Hollywood right now, I don't think anyone can be more suitable than you.".”
“As my agent, your confidence is the best affirmation." Renly still looked unhurried, and was in the mood to praise Andy, which made Andy dumbfounded, and then Renly revealed the answer. , "Jake Gyllenhaal. I would recommend him to star in this work.”
