1460 aboveboard
After a brief self-introduction and greetings, everyone sat down again.
Jake Gyllenhaal's big clear eyes were vaguely confused and dazed. Although they had introduced each other, he still didn't understand what happened today..
A smile appeared on Andre's face, "Don't be nervous. Before I came here today, I didn't know what was going on, and Eton didn't know what was going on. You are not the only one. In fact, I have known Renly for more than fifteen years. , but I still don’t know what happened to him.”
Jack laughed happily, "Really? I thought I knew Renly very well. Isn't he an actor? His dedication and concentration are really admirable, you know? Not long ago, I I just watched his performance on the set. God, the strength and tenacity are so wonderful..”
Andre and Renly exchanged glances, and he now somewhat understood what Renly meant. Although Andre didn't know much about Jack's acting career, he could now see that Jack was another drama fanatic. Essentially, Jack and Renly are the same type of people, so the negotiation content shouldn't be too difficult..
“If you want to praise, it is best to wait until the person involved is no longer around, then you can praise him as much as you want. Otherwise, when the person involved is around, you need to be careful in your praise, how uncomfortable it is." Renly said seriously, An Both Andre and Eaton were used to it, but Jack was the only one who burst out laughing..
Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, cast a proud look at Andre and Eaton, and then got down to business, "Jack, I made a special trip to ask you out today, and there are two strangers here at the same time. I hope you won't mind……”
“No, of course not." Jack cut off Renly's words and waved his hands repeatedly..
Renly smiled and continued, "Actually, I have a job that I want to recommend to you..”
Jack was dazed for a moment, and then he suddenly realized something. He seemed to have remembered something, and then he couldn't help but waved his hands and laughed, "It's not necessary... you are so dedicated... Haha. Jessica and I were on the set last time When, I was just joking, you really don’t need to take it seriously.”
“What? "Now Renly was confused and didn't understand what Jack meant..
Jack's smile couldn't help but fade, "Isn't it? Not long ago, Jessica Chastain and I went to visit the set, because Ryan Gosling was also there. We joked that if we visit the set once in a while, we can still find The job opportunity is really a bargain..." But as he spoke, Jack noticed Renly's smile, and then suddenly realized it, and said awkwardly and awkwardly, "So, you really don't know?？”
Renly did not answer directly, but patted Jack's shoulder lightly, "No matter what the reason is, you should have confidence in yourself. You are an actor, and I am also an actor. I recommend works to you, or The only reason I recommend you to the project is because you are the most suitable one. That's all..”
Not because of friendship, not because of commitment, not because of pity, but because of suitability.
Facing Renly's aboveboard attitude, Jack said "Ah" in sudden realization, "So there is such an explanation." That simple and honest look really made people laugh..
Renly took the "Nightcrawler" script from Eaton and placed it in front of Jack.
“This is a script written by Dan Gilroy. I submitted the script through my agent. I personally like it very much. Although there are more and more scripts of this style, there are only a few that can really burst out such terrifying energy. .However, after thinking about it carefully, I think you are more suitable than me. Although I am not willing to give up, but you will get something if you give up. I still hope that this work will be handed over to the right actor to make it shine..”
Jack was not in a hurry, but listened carefully to the whole story. Instead, he looked at Renly seriously again. After confirming Renly's sincerity, he couldn't help but struggled deep in his heart. In the end, he was neither polite nor unfamiliar, so he simply He said neatly, "Can you give me a brief introduction? What story does this script tell?？”
“Of course." Renly agreed..
Then it’s time for Renly and Jack.
Renly briefly described the outline of the entire story and described the characteristics of the character Louis in detail; while Jack just listened attentively at first, and then gradually began to ask questions about the characters, the story, the structure, etc. He also Keen to express his own opinions and views, he has already sketched out an outline before reading the script.
In less than fifteen minutes, Renly and Jack completely entered the world of "Nightcrawler".
The two of them were like this when they first met in Berlin. When talking about movies and performances, they always had their own ideas and actively expressed them to communicate with other movie lovers. The same is true today..
Because Jack hasn't read the script yet, he discusses it more through the social reality and ideology reflected by the characters. This goes a step further and reveals Gilroy's original intention of creating the script - at least in the light of Jack. The way Renly understands.
“Wow." Jack couldn't help but started to sigh, "Are you sure you want to introduce this script to me?？”
“I think this project is perfect for you. Not long ago, those media reporters just crossed the line and did such outrageous things. Now starring in such a work is definitely the best way to fight back.！”
“What's more, I think it's really interesting for you to challenge a dark character. I've already started imagining the finished product in my mind. Your performance will definitely be very exciting.！”
Jack is a real personality, and the excitement and excitement in his expression can hardly be hidden, but he still suppressed his impatience for the time being, looked at Renly with concentration, and politely expressed advice; moreover, the words The sincerity in her voice and the sincerity in her eyes are not watery at all..
“Thank you for the compliment." Renly nodded his head gently to express his gratitude, and then met Jack's gaze, "Are you serious? Before Jack could answer, Renly added, "I mean, are you serious about casting me?" To put it another way, Jack, are you really not interested?？”
Jack's expression suddenly became jerky.
Andre narrowed his eyes slightly, casting his eyes meaningfully at Renly, and a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes.——
After more than ten years in the entertainment industry, he still maintains such a sincere and sincere character. How did Jack survive? However, Gyllenhaal comes from an acting family. His father is a director, his mother is a screenwriter, and his sister and brother-in-law are both actors. Perhaps it is because of this that Jack can focus on acting wholeheartedly..
So, how did such an honest Jack become friends with such a cunning Renly?？
Renly shrugged calmly, not worried about Andre's inquiry at all, and then took up the coffee again, slowly waiting for Jack's answer..
Jack seemed to have struggled a lot, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's... I mean, I'm interested. Just from the description of the conversation just now, you can feel that this is a very interesting script. "After saying that, Jack let out a breath, seemingly finally relieved, and then he saw the faint smile on Renly's face..
Think about it.
Jack understood. The conversation they just had was actually unnecessary. It was just going around in circles. Renly knew the excellence of the script, and Renly also knew the challenges of the role, but after careful consideration, Renly still chose to recommend the script to him. , this is the best conclusion.
There is no need for him to get entangled, just respond honestly..
Thinking of this, Jack smiled again, "Renly, I want to star in this project. Thank you." In the final analysis, Jack and Renly have too many similarities in how they approach acting. Such a straightforward and straightforward Jack , who happened to be the actor who had a lofty chat with Renly in Berlin..
“Even if you regret it now, it's too late." Jack added, but after saying it, he felt a little embarrassed. He laughed twice and scratched his head shyly..
Renly did not fight back, but turned to point at the two people opposite, "Reintroduce me again. This is Eaton. He is a stylist. In the future, he may be responsible for the costume selection of the characters in the crew, but he is a layman. , is still in the process of exploring, and can be considered a newcomer; this is Andre, the founder of Sisyphus Films, the project of 'Nightcrawler'. If nothing else, he will take over the investment, production and subsequent distribution work..”
Jack couldn't help but open his mouth..
Getting bigger and bigger. Then, Jack realized that the action of opening his mouth was really impolite, so he slowly covered his mouth with both hands, and at the same time, his body slowly began to lean back, until He leaned on the back of the chair and stopped. Although he didn't say anything, his vivid expression was enough to explain everything..
“Nice to meet you, Jack." Andre extended his right hand again and shook Jack's hand..
“Don't worry, Renly ambushed us all today. Eaton and I have a very limited understanding of this project, but I believe in Renly's vision, just like you believe in Renly. I am asking Renly to be the director of this work Producer, I hope he can participate in the production. At the same time, I am also looking forward to cooperating with you..”
Frankly and sincerely, Andre took the right approach. Faced with such a pure actor like Jack, Andre did not push too hard, but chose a relatively simple approach. After all, it was still in its infancy and it was making an independent film. You can focus more on quality instead of thinking about how to save costs now.
Jack slowly stretched out his right hand and took Andre's right hand, "Wow, of course, it's my honor..”
