1453 suddenly see the light
“Jake Gyllenhaal. I would recommend him to star in this work.”
Andy stared at Renly quietly. He couldn't tell, but the fact was that Renly in front of him seemed to have changed a little..
If it were in the past, Renly's eyes would start to glow when he met a script and character he liked, and you could even feel his soul radiating a warm light. The enthusiasm displayed by his eagerness and concentration would make people jump for joy, even if Even people who have no interest in acting can feel the same way..
But now, things are slightly different.
Renly's eyes were still full of excitement and excitement, and that eagerness to try and gear up was still releasing a steady stream of light and heat. Andy could really feel that when Renly chose to reject the "Nightcrawler" , the struggle of regret and regret deep in the words, and the small movements of hands still reluctantly flipping through the script revealed the true emotions..
However, Renly still chose to refuse..
Not because I no longer love it, but because I feel more relieved and open-minded..
Although he likes, loves and loves very much and is very eager, he is more generous and tolerant because he knows that there is someone more suitable than him, because he knows that he still has many, many choices and room for choice, because he knows that he is exploring in acting. He can be more calm on the road. This is a sign of confidence and calmness, which makes him look a little more aloof..
this should be a good thing.
But Andy is a little unsure.
Because there have been so many things happening during the filming of "Blast Drummer" recently, if you don't want to talk about anything else, just look at Renly's hands. Renly studied piano, and although he is not a professional pianist, he still has his hands. Looking at the integrity of the piano player, only some thin calluses can be seen; but now, those scars are like cracks on perfect porcelain, which is shocking..
“Renly, has something happened recently? " Andy hesitated again and again, but still raised his concerns. "If you are not in good condition now, we can take a break for a while. Don't worry at all. Even if you take a short break for half a year or a year, it doesn't matter; if you have any concerns about the work, If you have any special ideas or requirements, just tell me and I will find a way.”
Renly was slightly stunned, wondering where Andy's worries came from..
Andy's smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, but his words were more serious and thoughtful, "Renly, no matter what happened, as long as you tell us, we can discuss it carefully. Even if I can't solve it, I can at least help think about it." Solution. Even if it is a private matter in life, as long as you are willing, I will be here at any time, ready to listen..”
“Andy, I'm fine." Renly frowned in confusion, and the smile on his lips could not help but slightly rise, "I know what you mean, and I also know your worries, but... why? Just because I passed up the chance to star in 'Nightcrawler'? As I said just now, it's just because Jack is more suitable..”
“Andy is worried about your condition." Matthew, who walked to the kitchen to drink water, heard this conversation and watched the two people playing riddles with each other. He couldn't listen anymore, so he took the initiative to say, "For the latest movie, You invested too much in the movie, but you recovered too quickly, as if nothing happened. Now you suddenly rejected a project that you were satisfied with. Andy is worried about you..”
The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear.
Renly didn't feel anything unusual about himself at all, but he forgot that in the eyes of others, his changes were still different after all..
Then Matthew turned to look at Andy, "Don't worry about Renly, he is the strongest and most determined of all the friends I know, not because he is invulnerable; but because he always understands what he is doing. What. If one day, he really needs help, he will ask.”
After saying that, Matthew held the water glass and calmly walked back to his desk..
Andy was stunned for a moment, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked in a loud voice, "Has he ever asked you for help?"？”
“He is not Superman." Matthew paused slightly for a moment, and did not answer directly, but expressed his affirmation in another way..
Renly is not as invincible as people imagine. He will be injured, he will be in pain, and he will be confused. It was the same when he returned to London, and it was the same when Heather died. However, he carefully kept his vulnerability Hidden deep in my heart, and then put all the weight on my friends.
Friends. This is Renly’s bottom line, and it’s also Renly’s opposite. If anyone is curious about why Renly is willing to break up with Vin Diesel for Paul Walker, then Matthew will tell them to ask these questions. People don't understand Renly at all.
“Hey, the person involved is here, please don't discuss my mental condition at will, okay? This sounds weird, otherwise, I would like to avoid it for a while, and you guys can communicate properly? "Renly couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two people and issued his own protest..
Matthew didn't speak, returned to his desk, sat down, and continued working..
Andy withdrew his gaze and looked at Renly, with a hint of worry in his eyes..
Renly spread his hands and said, "Do you think it's still too late for us to go downstairs to talk about things?" He meant to avoid Matthew..
A single joke successfully made Andy laugh, and the atmosphere became relaxed again. Renly then continued, "Don't worry, I'm fine. 'Breaking Drummer'... I did understand a lot through the performance of this work. , and I have gained a lot. Recently, I am still slowly digesting it, but I am fine..”
“Rejecting 'Nightcrawler' is purely because of Jack. Maybe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but I always believe that if you miss this one, there will be a next time. Jack is more suitable for the role of 'Nightcrawler'. I believe he can Give the character more content. That's all." Renly explained the whole story seriously again, "You can always find a better script, right?？”
Andy looked at Renly quietly, and Renly also met Andy's gaze calmly..
Finally, Andy showed his familiar smile again and shook his head slightly, "When did you start learning to talk sweetly? It doesn't sound like you at all..”
“Are you sure you upgraded recently? Or is it just that you have never discovered it before? Does this mean that our cooperative relationship has taken another step forward? "Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and said jokingly.
Andy was stunned again. He was now sure that Renly was still the same Renly. He didn't need to worry too much, so he ignored Renly's teasing and returned to the focus of the topic, "You just said, Jack-Gee Lenhal? What are you going to do? Call Jack personally to recommend the script? Or call the screenwriter Dan to recommend Jack?？”
“Who is the producer of the movie? After serving as the producer of "Blast Drummer", Renly also had a better understanding of the process of making movies, and a framework naturally emerged in his mind..
Andy let out a breath, "No, in fact, this movie has not yet found a producer. Dan Gilroy submitted the script to the company. In a sense, he actually hopes that you can become a producer. , and then rely on your reputation to find investors. Of course, these are all my own conjectures, and Dan and I did not talk about these details; but, you know, with such a dark and realistic script, looking for investment in Hollywood , it is always difficult.”
“"Crackling Drummer" is true, and so is "Nightcrawler".
Renly slightly retracted his chin and expressed his understanding, "Let's do this, I will recommend this project to Andre Hamilton to see if he is interested in taking over; then I will make an appointment with Jake Gyllenhaal, Talk about the project face to face and see if he's interested in serving as producer himself.”
“You can also serve as a producer even if you don't star in it." Andy further suggested, "After all, you have already done all the work of a producer..”
“I don’t mind. But I’m just in name at most, and I don’t want to interfere in the creative work of actors and directors.” Renly said simply..
Even though they are both producers, their responsibilities and tasks are different. In "Breaking Drummer", Renly put forward his own ideas on the script, performance and core of the movie, because he is the creator of the movie. part.
But "Nightcrawler" is not the case. He does not want his creative ideas to become a stumbling block for Gilroy. Of course, he can exchange ideas with Gilroy and Jack before the official start-up, but he still has to try to avoid too much interference after the start-up..
Renly's initiative and change of thinking are also one of his changes.
In fact, this is also a common transformation choice among top actors in Hollywood：
From front to back, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Ray Witherspoon, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
If you are talented, then you can choose to act and if you are good at directing, you can become the person in charge of directing; if you are lacking talent, then you can rely on your many years of experience to become a producer. If you are interested in the role, you can also stand in the role again. in front of camera.
After all, an actor's career is still relatively limited, and there are very few actors who can live and act until old age like Meryl Streep and Katharine Hepburn; therefore, most actors must consider their future blueprints and have options. After retirement, and those who are willing to stay in Hollywood, behind-the-scenes work headed by producers is obviously the best choice..
Now, Renly is opening himself up to more possibilities - though he's still far, far away from retirement..
For Andy, this is naturally a good thing, and he feels more relaxed. "I thought that if you chose the script 'Nightcrawler', the work for the next period of time would be settled, which would make me feel at ease. Handle the two projects of Universal Pictures well, but I didn’t expect that you actually chose to be polite. This also forced me to use my trump card..”
“The trump card? "Renly showed great interest and was eager to try..
