1754 The lion speaks
“They are not ignorant of all the troubles at Sundance..”
Andy suddenly realized that he couldn't think anymore, and the words he blurted out were, "Then... what should I do?" His silly reaction made him hold his forehead a little..
Renly put down the coffee cup, "Andy, when you just heard about the plans, what was your first thought?？”
“You're crazy." Andy answered directly without any hesitation..
Renly didn't mind at all and nodded in affirmation, "Yes. Who can imagine that Sisyphus Films, which has nothing, suddenly comes out and is ready to disrupt the industry structure? It sounds like this to anyone. Fantasy. Even when DreamWorks was established, they failed to attract enough attention from the industry..”
In fact, even now, Andre doesn't really believe that things can be achieved because it is too difficult and too difficult. But Andre is not a character who gives up easily. Whether things can be achieved can only be known after trying; Giving up before starting is not his philosophy of life.
What Renly means is that even if Disney has a glimpse of the ambitions of Sisyphus Pictures, they will not consider it a worthy opponent - even Netflix has not been able to fully attract the attention of the six major film companies. Otherwise, Disney wouldn’t have waited until 2017 to really start taking its streaming platform seriously..
In other words, Renly's answer to Bob's "producer invitation" through "schedule restrictions" is actually a potential statement: Sisyphus Films needs more attention.——
Even if Renly becomes a producer of Disney works in the future, it will inevitably be a collaboration between Sisyphus Films and Disney. However, Disney will not consider Sisyphus Films a threat in the short term, but will combine Renly and Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg and others are equated to replace the cooperative relationship between individuals and companies, but use the cooperative relationship between companies to fight for more rights and interests, naturally. , Bob is bound to change the conditions of cooperation.
If it is a cooperation between Sisyphus Pictures and Disney, Renly is indeed willing to serve as a producer for Disney and produce several movies, and then further open up the situation for Sisyphus Pictures. Why not do it? ? While Disney takes advantage of Renly, Renly can also take advantage of Disney. Both parties have their own plans..
As Andy said, Renly's way of thinking and architectural blueprint have gotten rid of the actor and agent levels, and he can start the layout on an equal footing with Bob. This is the essential difference in position and vision..
“Therefore, not only will Bob not be wary of us, but he will also adjust the cooperation strategy according to our plans, which may be beneficial to Sisyphus Films." Renly completed his words..
Andy was no longer shocked and paused slightly, "Didn't you say that you lack the overall perspective?" But why does things seem to be something else now?？
“Yes, I do lack a sense of the overall situation. I can only talk about it on paper. In practice, my ability is zero. It is possible to turn a grand plan into garbage with a loss of 10 billion." Renly didn't have it at all. Shy and embarrassed, he frankly admitted his shortcomings, "All the plans now look beautiful, but to what extent they can be implemented is not something I can decide..”
“……”Andy opened his mouth slightly, "Then who decides?？”
“In his hands, Andre Dalmore Whiskey's market share has steadily increased by 20 percentage points, and he has also successfully broken the elite platform and formed a brand effect. When he actually took over the management and operation work, he actually did not It will only take three years." Renly said lightly, "In addition, Arthur, Matthew, Eaton and Alexander will also come to help. Oh, by the way, Alexander is Andre's brother, he doesn't have much time, but There is no problem as a consultant. He is a talented person！”
Andy couldn't laugh or cry, "I think you are also a talent..”
So, when he personally rushed to the pioneer village in New York, what kind of monster did he unearth?？
The amount of information is a bit huge.
Andy fell into thinking quietly, patting his beer belly gently with both hands. The steady rhythm made his thoughts gradually become clearer..
In fact, there is basically no problem with the cooperation in "Rogue One".
Since Bob hopes to take advantage of Renly's "invincible halo", Andy can also use his strength to fight further to see if the salary can be increased again; in addition, regarding the negotiation of the producer and subsequent cooperation, he We can also start the game again. But these are minor issues that will not affect the overall cooperative relationship..
It is estimated that in the next period of time, Disney will gradually let out the news and begin to launch advanced publicity activities for the "Rogue One" project..
Following Sony Classics and Warner Bros., Disney has also successfully entered the game; moreover, in recent days, there have been constant rumors in the industry about the awards season. Harvey Weinstein and Thomas Tull seem to have come together, and they have also entered into the industry with Warner Bros. The brothers have formed a rivalry, and Warner Bros. has begun to take action for the awards season prospects of "Gravity".
This also means that the plans for Universal Pictures, Vin Diesel, and Thomas Tull have reached the closing stage..
From the beginning of Renly's layout to the initial results, it took less than two months. It even got entangled with the process of the awards season. It is indeed amazing to further promote the plan; but things are not yet here. It's over. Next, leaving aside Vin Diesel and Thomas Tull, Renly obviously has a more ambitious plan.——
Sisyphus Films.
If Sisyphus Films can develop smoothly, it will undoubtedly be another improvement for Renly's status in the industry, especially with the support of the independent film field, then Renly's voice will rise to a higher level again, which will also Puts further pressure on Universal and, more importantly, opens up a whole new dimension for Renly's career.
As for his job as an actor, Andy is not worried at all. No one can change Renly's original intention and intention..
“So, how can I help right now? " Andy had completely calmed down at this time, and returned to his usual appearance of controlling the overall situation. His thin eyes narrowed to a slit again, and he looked at Renly seriously, "Honestly, even if I can't do it tonight. Come on, you’re going to find me too, right?？”
“You are my agent. Isn't it natural that I ask you about work matters? "Renly smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly..
Andy tilted his head and nodded slightly in affirmation, "I'm flattered." But his calm tone did not contain any "surprise" at all, and then he said seriously, "I feel now, as if I was on the stage." I have always thought that I chose to be your agent, but now it seems something is not right..”
“You can regret it at any time now." Renly's indifferent response made Andy chuckle. "It's safe to get off the ship now, but the scenery on the subsequent voyage will be missed. What a pity. Even if it's a thief Boat, I also think we should continue.”
Renly pursed his lips and said, "Then welcome aboard. I will be given a copy of all the projects currently on hand at the Creative Artist Agency, including movies and TV series. In addition, there is no problem with short films and documentaries..”
Even though Andy was mentally prepared, he was still surprised again when he heard Renly's understatement, "You know what a huge number this is..”
Even now, the number of projects Renly is invited to has exceeded fifty, and the number of projects for the entire Creative Artists Agency has increased at least ten times. Although the agency is not a film company, the number of projects is not thousands; But in order to find suitable projects for their artists, they also collect various projects all year round and look for investment opportunities..
The projects mentioned here are not projects like "Jurassic Park" or "Rogue One", which are all in the hands of large movie companies; Looking for investors, through the hands of producers, traveling throughout Hollywood, waiting for his own talent.
Of course, if a commercial work like "Rogue One" is willing to openly search for actors and casts, it will also be submitted to major brokerage companies..
Renly shrugged lightly, "No, I don't know. But... give me a surprise.”
Andy let out a long breath, "Okay, I understand. If you need to mobilize resources, you should know what will happen next, right?？”
“Of course." Renly nodded in agreement, "If Sisyphus Films confirms an investment project, it will definitely give priority to actors from the Creative Artists Agency. However, I am still hesitant about packaging and cooperation. Specifics You can have an internal meeting to discuss the details, and then we can sit down and discuss them..”
It is also Renly's plan to use Andy to mobilize the energy of the entire innovative artist management company. Since the plan is to be grand, the configuration must also keep up, otherwise it will just be a family affair, which is nothing more than child's play..
Andy said nothing more, "Okay, I understand..”
“During this time, I will go through the script projects carefully. By the way, if there are any projects worth recommending to me, please bring them too. 'Rogue One' will not start filming until the end of the year, maybe not even until next year. Definitely, I'm not in a hurry to take on new projects, but if the right one comes along, I wouldn't mind either," Renly added..
Sure enough, just as Andy expected, Renly still maintains a passionate and innocent heart about his career as an actor..
“After the dubbing of "Super Marines" ended, Renly had no work for the time being. "Rogue One" still needs to be considered in the long term, which also means that he has at least half a year's time off. He can choose to rest or choose Challenge other characters. Renly keeps things open.
