1459 Officially set sail
“What? "Renly raised his eyebrows in surprise, and showed a rare expression of surprise. He was slightly embarrassed, but then he laughed happily, "Andre, Sisyphus is a tragic figure, you Why do you suddenly want to use this name? Even using Icarus seems a bit more fun.”
“I know." How could Andre not know this? He shrugged indifferently, and then said meaningfully, "But so does Don Quixote..”
Renly's smile paused at the corner of his mouth. Quietly, Renly and Andre exchanged glances..
For most people, Sisyphus is a tragedy. He is trapped in the same reincarnation forever, carrying that huge stone on his back, constantly pushing it up, but never reaching the top of the mountain. This is a punishment .But, why is it not the case for Don Quixote?？
Only those who truly know how to persevere can understand that sometimes, persevering on a dream that is destined to never come true is not to realize it, but for that obsession. Maybe this obsession is a punishment from fate; but maybe, this Belief also comes from the energy of life, a little stupid, but pure enough.
Andre once again recalled the private party held by the Earl of Oxford not long ago, and the song "This is Me". After that, many things have changed, he has changed, they have all changed, but from the beginning to the end , but Renly has never changed. Even in the vicissitudes of life, that figure still persists tirelessly, just like Sisyphus..
Sometimes, the weight of the soul that tragedy can carry far exceeds imagination.
During the silent exchange of glances, in the end, Renly nodded slightly in agreement, raised the coffee cup in his hand, and gestured to Andre, "Salute to Sisyphus.".”
Andre also showed a smile, also raised the coffee cup, and after taking a sip, he continued, "I have solved the relevant copyright issues and officially completed the registration. Now Sisyphus Films has been officially established. . Also, our company’s official social network account has been registered and is directly linked to your account..”
Renly frowned slightly and looked over in confusion..
Andre then added, "You won't forget, your social network account is called Sisyphus？”
Renly stayed where he was, thinking seriously, and said nothing..
Sure enough, I forgot.
Andre shook his head helplessly, "Can you please update the content on social networks? You know, many, many people are paying attention to your every move..”
Renly shrugged, noncommittal..
Andre was at a loss as to what to do, so he simply let it go, and then asked additional questions, "By the way, do you think it would be more appropriate for me to stay in New York and open up the situation? Or should I fly to Los Angeles? Although they are both places. Production base, but the main workers in the film industry are still in Los Angeles.？”
Renly did not speak in a hurry, but thought about it seriously, "It is true that the talent pool in Los Angeles is relatively concentrated, far more than that in New York. In fact, most of the talents in New York are high-end talents, and there is no way to compare with Los Angeles in terms of quantity..”
“But personally, if you want to move closer to independent art films, you can find more opportunities here in New York. Through them, you can find professional talents in Los Angeles. This is always more convenient than finding a needle in a haystack; and you tend to produce As for commercial films, the professionals in the assembly line production are all in Los Angeles. You only need to go to the union or find top producers, and things will start to work out quickly..”
“Therefore, you need a clearer idea, at least a development plan for the next three years. However, if you choose independent art films, the academy’s public relations must start building connections now. Although I personally have a hesitant attitude towards academy public relations, the Oscar That's how awards season works, just like London.”
In the final analysis, Renly is still an actor. His understanding of production, publicity, distribution, etc. is only superficial, and the professional advice he can give is really limited. It is more based on his own understanding. But Renly still told Andrei his thoughts as much as possible..
Andre nodded slightly, but his eyes calmed down again, and he had obviously entered deep thinking mode..
The air became quiet like this, but there was no embarrassment. Everyone was trapped in their own world of thinking, and the three closest friends did not feel uncomfortable..
After a while, Eaton finally reacted, as if he had made some important decision, his expression became firm, and he clenched his fist fiercely, "Renly, I am willing to try it. I'm not sure about this." How much impact can it have, but you still need to try it, right?？”
This step is already very rare for Eaton, and he cannot be asked to do it in one step..
Eaton turned to look at Andre, "Are you working on any project with Renly now? If possible, I hope to enter the crew, observe the work of the costume stylist, understand the whole process and principles, and then make further decision.”
Andre was stunned for a moment before he realized, "The specific project is in Renly's hands. We just talked about it today. I don't know much about the details. You can ask him.".”
Turning his head, Eaton saw Renly motioning to the script on the coffee table, "This is it.？”
Eaton curiously picked up the script and flipped through it, "Which parts should I read? And what should I pay attention to?"？”
“Eaton, this is actually the same as a drama script. Everyone gets different information. The difference between movies and dramas is very obvious, but they are not completely separated from the same artistic creation mode." Renly could sense Eaton's caution. Cautious, even a little nervous, I couldn't help but laugh..
Immediately afterwards, Renly added, "By the way, the male protagonist of the script, an actor I highly recommend, should arrive here soon. You can talk to each other face to face..”
“What? "Both Andre and Eaton were a little surprised, and looked at Renly with confusion..
“Hey, didn't I say that? "Renly had a relaxed look on his face. After catching Andre's complaining eyes, he explained, "Actually, Andy took on this project for me at the beginning, but after I read the script carefully, I came up with it in my mind. But another actor appeared in it. I think he is the most suitable actor..”
“Therefore, I took the initiative to contact him, hoping that he could come and have a face-to-face conversation. If you are satisfied, you can directly discuss cooperation; you can observe his image and temperament from the side, and then think about the so-called styling design based on the role. How should it be?" The first half of the sentence is directed at Andre, and the second half is directed at Eton. Obviously, Renly has understood everything..
Today is an occasion to thread the needle.
Eaton muttered depressedly, "I thought I was just having afternoon tea today..”
Andre frowned, "But shouldn't talking about projects with actors be left to the producers and agents? My understanding of film projects is really limited, how can I talk to actors?？”
“Don't worry, this is a very professional and dedicated actor. He has no requirements for salary. If you talk to him directly face-to-face, you can basically understand his thoughts and needs, and then tell your thoughts. It’s also a way for you to participate in the production of the project. Even if you don’t know much about the situation, it doesn’t matter..”
Renly looked like he was throwing away the shopkeeper, and Andre was also dumbfounded..
“Andre, believe me, you can do a good job." Renly chuckled, "If it doesn't work, just treat it as a polite meeting in a social setting today, let him read the script, and you can test his personality and style. , and then announced it was over, leaving the follow-up matters to the agent and producer.”
Andre knew the truth, but he was caught off guard when he was suddenly killed by Renly. He still had no choice but to say, "Renly, please don't do it again. This is really not good.".”
Renly nodded seriously in agreement..
But Andre looked at Renly's face with a slight smile and suddenly understood, "You will do this again next time, right? God, please tell me, why are we friends? I remember that I had already left you and was enjoying my life alone. How did we meet again?？”
“Destiny." Renly said seriously..
Then, Eaton, who was sitting next to him, laughed heartlessly. Looking at Andre's face like the bottom of a pot, he simply couldn't stop laughing..
From the corner of his vision, he could see someone walking over. He originally thought it was a waiter or a passing customer, but the other person stopped next to the coffee table and stood there, neither approaching nor leaving, not far away. keep a distance.
Renly thought he was a movie fan, but when he looked up, he saw a familiar handsome face, "Hey, Jack. You're here..”
Jake Gyllenhaal took the initiative to step forward, held Renly's right hand, and bumped each other's shoulders, "Sorry, I'm late. Please don't interrupt your conversation because of my appearance, otherwise I will I must be more sorry." In fact, Renly deliberately staggered the appointment time today, and Jack obviously understood this, but he still took the initiative to express his apology, especially for his rash behavior of interrupting the conversation..
“If this is the case, does that mean that no matter what request I make today, you must agree? "Renly joked mischievously..
Jack was an honest man and nodded in agreement, "Of course, of course..”
Renly showed a big smile, "Jack, you should be more vigilant and don't trust others casually, otherwise, you will be fooled.".”
“But you're not just anyone, are you? "Jack's retort made Renly freeze in place, unable to refute..
A smile flashed across the eyes of Andre and Eaton. As soon as they met, they could feel Jack's character and character..
Renly spread his hands, "I can't argue with that..”
