1664 overall chess game
Andy couldn't help but think of Melissa. From Diesel to Melissa, and then think carefully about Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lawrence and Natalie Portman, smart people have cut their losses in time ; Suddenly, an inspiration seemed to come through Andy's mind: Is this the difference between them and Diesel? Is this why Renly never took the initiative?？
In this case... in this case……
His thoughts stopped here. Even as experienced as Andy, he felt a huge mental shock, as if he had carefully opened Pandora's box and then quickly closed it again, lest he released the devil and was The fingers of his left hand that were tapping his belly stopped like this, and Andy straightened his waist slightly without even realizing it..
“Renly, why now? "The conflict between Diesel and Renly is not a matter of a day or two, but Renly has never really taken action. At best, he is noble and proud, and at worst, he is disdainful. This also makes Diesel feel angry every time. He refuses to change after repeated admonitions, because he has never really felt "pain". Andy also thinks that Renly should teach Diesel a lesson, but... why now?？
“He shouldn't take advantage of Paul." With a simple sentence, Renly's voice suddenly became colder. The coldness behind the stiffness instantly revealed a murderous aura. Even through the phone, Andy couldn't help but cry. I shuddered, and the trace of sympathy and pity in my heart for Diesel was cut off..
The fierceness disappeared in a flash, and Renly returned to business again, "You can contact us to see 'Rogue One'. I am willing to star, but I need the power of the producer." It's not just a title or a false reputation, " In addition, I plan to discuss the project with a group of friends. It may be our own creation, it may be to find a suitable script, or it may be a remake. Andre and I will discuss the specific situation, and you can spread the word..”
This isn't about Diesel, it's about Thomas Toole.
Thomas has repeatedly gained the upper hand in the two projects of "Interstellar" and "Jurassic Park". Lang Meyer has never been able to make an easy choice. In addition to the Wall Street capital represented by Thomas, it is simply because Renly is just a He is just a simple actor. The contrast between power and interests cannot be calculated in detail..
No matter how powerful and outstanding an actor is, his power and ability are ultimately limited. The most straightforward cases are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Carrey..
They were the first members of the "Twenty Million Club" in Hollywood. They were unparalleled throughout the 1990s. Their strong momentum directly broke the industry's shackles on salary caps - the 20 million at that time was definitely a sensation all over the world. Breakthrough, even Renly's salary breakthrough is standing on the shoulders of giants.
But the cruel reality is that after entering the new century, their careers have hit dead ends one after another..
Part of the reason is due to the limitations of their acting career; but the more reason is that they did not further strive for themselves at the level of producer power. When the actors' careers reached a deadlock, they were quickly abandoned by major film companies..
Why Diesel clings to power and refuses to let it go, why Tom Cruise would rather be criticized by industry insiders for being "always the leading man" than to join a star-studded movie to weaken his production rights, why Will Smith, Brad Pitt -Pitt and George Clooney have gradually reduced their acting works and exposure but are still able to stand at the top of the pyramid in Hollywood？
All the reasons are the same, they are producers, not producers in name only, but producers with real power, producers who sit at the same conference table with film companies to engage in games and negotiations, although In the confrontation between individuals and capital, individuals are still the weaker party, but at least they have made a breakthrough compared to actors..
Now, Renly has begun to take action of his own.
The amount of information was really too huge. Andy felt that he needed to take a breath and clear his thoughts. This chess game was beyond his ability, but fortunately, he was a member of the Innovative Artist Agency, and behind him With the support team of the entire huge company standing, it is obvious that this is a change that the company is happy to see..
“You know, Renly, that means you might have to attend the Golden Globes and Sundance, and maybe even get more involved in Academy PR during awards season, you realize that, right? "The first thought in Andy's mind was this. Using chicken feathers as arrows will not work. They need Renly to show up in person and negotiate in person..
“Yes, I know." Renly nodded gently, "If you want something in return, you must give. This is the law of nature." He knew how powerful and sensational his words just were, and he also knew the difficulties and difficulties in achieving such a goal. It was difficult, but he still had no hesitation. Everyone has their own bottom line, and so does he..
“I will weigh it myself. In the final analysis, I still hope to concentrate on my work, and I will leave these matters to you. If necessary, you can contact Andre and Matthew at any time." Renly paused for a moment. "And Arthur. Yes, Arthur can help too..”
Arthur Hall. Since the Venice Film Festival, Arthur has quietly opened up a new situation. Now his influence in Europe is gradually spreading. He has the strength and ability, and the aura of a hereditary noble is even more It allows him to easily enter the upper class, and it is only a matter of time before he shines..
George and Elizabeth have been working hard for many years, hoping to open up a situation in the aristocratic class, but they have never been able to find a breakthrough; unexpectedly, Arthur has now easily achieved it - with the help of Renly's influence , following Renly and Edith, Arthur finally bloomed with his own light..
George and Elizabeth remained silent, just like Renly back then, pretending that nothing happened at all; but different from Renly back then, because Arthur's work and career were exactly the resources they desperately needed. They and Arthur The relationship between them has been maintained at a delicate balance point. The two sides are not in conflict with each other but are inextricably involved..
In Edith's words, "God, I'd rather jump into the Thames than face this.".”
This is the first time Renly has taken the initiative to open Arthur's door. This is not an easy thing, because it means that not only Renly is involved in Arthur's affairs, but Arthur will also be involved in Renly's affairs in the future. In this matter, they are no longer just two independent individuals sharing the surname "Hall", but... family members, or brothers.
Just like Renly and Edith.
For ordinary people, this seems to be a simple and common choice; but for hereditary nobles, this is an extremely rare choice, and it can even be said to be a difficult choice..
Thinking of this, the smile on Renly's lips rose, and he continued, "For now, let's focus on the filming of 'Interstellar'. We all know that these things cannot be completed overnight. According to the filming progress of the movie, Let’s see if we can attend the Golden Globes and Sundance..”
Andy could feel the faint tiredness in Renly's words. Although this was the situation he eagerly expected, but thinking of Renly's personality and persistence, "Renly, you...should not give up." Persistence to the actor.
If an actor is destroyed because of the struggle for power, even Andy himself will feel extremely guilty and even extremely sad. Before things start to work, Andy has some regrets. If possible, he also hopes that these things have never happened, but … This is Hollywood’s Vanity Fair. It has the power to destroy the world and can corrupt and destroy a person silently. Here, geniuses and stars are always the least valuable existences..
Andy has witnessed the fall of too many geniuses, and he doesn't want Renly to die in his own hands..
Renly chuckled lightly, and immediately understood what Andy meant, "Do you think I will give up?" After a rhetorical question, Renly continued, "Goodbye, Andy, I'm about to arrive for the photo shoot. The shed is ready and the work is going well..”
A busy signal came from the phone. Andy put the phone in his palm and whispered softly. The slightly hot battery was still not as hot as the palm of his hand. He didn't even realize that his hands were so sweaty. Like a rookie who has never seen the world, he is shocked by every "little" thing..
The reason why Renly left everything to him, as well as to Andre, Matthew and Arthur, was because Renly still had not changed his original intention..
After realizing this, Andy chuckled with relief, took out two tissues and wiped the sweat from his palms, and then connected the internal line, "Nancy, look at when the company has arranged a group meeting recently. I chose three times, as soon as possible, and then called my partners to tell them that I needed thirty minutes of them... Well, about Renly..”
After the explanation, Andy was still lying lazily on the boss's chair. He turned the chair and faced the floor-to-ceiling window behind him. His mood became bright and relaxed. He felt that the sunshine in Los Angeles today was so good..
……
Arriving at Studio No. 18, Renly's footsteps remained relaxed. Although he had just made a major decision, the biggest change after his reincarnation was that once he had made a decision, he would carry it out bravely. He would not stand still and be afraid. I am afraid of my hands and feet. The same thing happened this time..
Renly nodded to the staff with a smile on his face. Nathan stood next to the driver's door, watching Renly's relaxed and comfortable back..
He thought he would feel scared, because of Renly's decisiveness in killing, and because of Renly's ruthlessness. Just imagining it in his mind made him tremble; but at this moment, he just felt a sense of loneliness, bathing. Under the sun, quietly hidden under the tall and straight spine.
Suddenly, Nathan understood Renly's choice.
