1847 one step ahead
Renly calls Steven Spielberg and informs Thomas Tull of his plan to try to promote the scandal..
But it's just a scandal plan, and the matter of the van is ignored. This is called prescribing the right medicine - the same thing has different importance to different people. Regarding the van, the time has come when you should know it, Steve Wen will know.
What's more, for a top producer like Steven, he knows the impact of things but cannot truly empathize with them like an actor. After all, Steven has been too far away from the position of "new director", and the behind-the-scenes work The staff did not dare to stumbling him easily, just like Patrick's attitude. This was the same - for them, the "van" topic was far less important than the principled publicity plan..
“Steven, I just want to film this work well." These are Renly's sincere words, but at this time, he may not mean to show weakness..
Steven immediately tasted it, and he couldn't help laughing, "Little guy, there is no need to keep emphasizing this in front of me..”
For Renly, Steven can be regarded as watching him grow up all the way, and Renly's purity and concentration also reminded Steven of DreamWorks again. To be honest, he sincerely hopes that Hollywood can cherish Renly's existence. "Don't worry, leave the publicity plan to me, and you can just act well.”
Steven's generous offer made Renly smile sincerely, "Thank you..”
But Steven immediately saw through Renly's "trick", "Ha, you called me specifically, didn't you just hope that I can help you solve your problem? No need to pretend, I know you are a smart guy.”
“The ploy worked, didn't it? "Renly did not deny it and admitted the truth frankly, which caused a burst of muddy laughter on the other end of the phone, and the atmosphere was particularly friendly..
Steven shook his head repeatedly, with some helplessness in his voice, and some elders' tolerance for the younger ones, "You don't have to worry about Thomas. Just focus on the movie. I believe that the performance of this work will be good for you." It shouldn’t be difficult. You can talk to Colin more about your views on the character and the script, and then see how Colin understands and digests it. Maybe you can create sparks, which will be a good thing for the movie..”
Steven insisted on choosing Renly to star in "Jurassic World", not only because of Renly's acting skills and market appeal, but also because of the characteristics and temperament that Renly brings to the movie, which often has his own characteristics. The ability to understand the character and the script is very rare for an actor..
Don't underestimate the work of actors in commercial films. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and Harrison Ford are examples of each other's achievements..
Renly could feel Steven's sincerity. He also talked openly about some of his views on the script and characters, and communicated with Steven. In this way, the conversation deviated from the original track. The two people were sincere and sincere. We talked about work immersed in it, and the call lasted much longer than expected..
When he hung up the phone, the phone was already slightly hot. Only then did Renly realize that they had been chatting for a long time without making any adjustments. Renly then dialed Ron Meyer's number. Now that the battle had begun, Renly Li also decided to completely spread the pattern of this war. Just like a game of Go, the early layout began to unfold in an orderly manner. Then we will see who can have the last laugh..
During the phone call with Lang Meyer, Renly acted very tough, strongly questioning the rationality and authenticity of the "Scandal Plan" and emphasizing his professional stance. He did not reject the publicity plan, but he was not interested in creating a "scandal". None. The duration of this phone call was relatively normal. Lang Meyer confirmed Renly's position, then exchanged polite greetings for a while and ended the call..
Renly then called Andy Rogers and told Andy about the scandal and the van. He also told Andy about his handling methods and follow-up plans. Then Andy proposed a Very interesting proposal：
“I mean, we should tell Ron Howard." Faced with Renly's surprise, Andy repeated his words.
Renly laughed dumbly, "You mean, complain?" Unlike Steven and Long Meyer, he actually complained to the "parents".
Andy nodded and admitted without any psychological burden, "Of course. We must file a complaint for such a thing..”
“Bryce wouldn't want her father to know." Renly is still more cautious about how to deal with her family - since Bryce has concealed her last name, it means that she doesn't want Ron Howard to interfere too much with her. career, naturally she doesn’t want Ron Howard to help deal with these annoying shady matters. Bryce is still willing to handle it herself..
Andy didn't have Renly's worries, "I know. Even if we don't tell Lang, he can always know; now, we pass the news to Lang, on the one hand, to clarify your position, and on the other hand, Friendly notice, as for whether Lang decides to intervene, and how Bryce handles it, this is a matter between their father and daughter. Do you think Lang will thank us if we shut up?？”
If the crew really decides to create a scandal, will Bryce and Seth's marriage face challenges? Secondly, the real core issue is that Bryce's private life will be completely exposed to the media, and in a low-level consumer way. , which is completely inconsistent with Bryce's always low-key style, and is also a serious harm to her life - far more serious than Renly.
“I understand. But my suggestion is that even if the news is to be revealed, we should tell Bryce instead of telling Ron." Renly understood Andy's plan, but in the end he still couldn't agree with it - because of the complexity of the Hall family Renly is a little cautious in how he handles family matters, but Renly is not a kind angel. Now that he has informed Steven and Ron Meyer, he has no intention of settling the matter, "But, this is just mine. I suggest you and Lidya discuss it and decide how to deal with it..”
After all, Andy couldn't fully understand Renly's thoughts. He pondered for a moment, "I will seriously consider your opinion." This was all he could do; then, Andy continued, "As for Thomas' words, you Is this what they plan to do? It’s difficult for them to completely control Thomas just by relying on Spielberg or Meyer’s pressure. This matter probably won’t end so soon..”
Only a thousand days to be a thief, not a thousand days to guard against thieves.
But Andy actually also knows that when a producer reaches the level of Thomas Tull, it is actually like an actor reaching the level of Renly. It can be said that it is extremely difficult to completely defeat the opponent. thing. Unless Legendary Pictures’ investment in multiple consecutive works all fails miserably, and Thomas’s residual value is completely drained; otherwise, he will not be completely out of the game. Andy still can’t help but want to know Renly’s plan, especially It was after what happened with Vin Diesel.
“Thomas is not Fan, and there is definitely no easy way to solve the matter, but that doesn't mean I will just surrender." Renly still looked calm, and the slightest chill in his words made Andy shudder..
Andy hesitated for a moment, then said in a joking tone, "Renly, since you filmed 'The Boomstick', I wonder if you have become darker and darker.？”
To be precise, it was because of Renly's handling of Diesel and Thomas, as well as Melissa before him. This made Andy have such an idea..
“Ha." Renly laughed directly, "No, Andy, in fact, after finishing the filming of 'Exploding Drummer', I became more relaxed and sunny, and all those negative emotions were left behind. In that movie." This is true, "The reason why you feel this way is just because you saw a side of me outside of acting..”
As he spoke, Renly couldn't help but feel happy and light, because he couldn't help thinking that if Edith and Arthur heard Andy's words, they would protest and object violently; even Andy would Andre probably couldn't agree with that. That scene would be very interesting..
“Andy, please rest assured, I know what I am doing and I am not lost." Renly stopped his smile and said sincerely..
Maybe others might get lost in the glitz and darkness of Vanity Fair, but not Renly.
Because of the accumulation and precipitation of his hereditary aristocratic background, and because his confusion and loss had all disappeared at the party on the night when he won the Tony Award and achieved EGOT. That was the only time he was confused and lost; now he is , firm enough and wise enough, he can stick to his heart and not lose his way..
Andy let out a long breath, and then heard Renly's teasing voice, "Andy, you are my agent, but now you are like my psychiatrist, or are you planning to change your career?" Babysitter？”
“Get out of here! " Andy retaliated with foul language without mercy, but the smile in his eyes couldn't help but overflow, "I'm just worried that you will become a madman one day, and then reporters will come over and ask me, when did it happen? At first, I couldn’t answer it, so that would be unprofessional..”
“When this day comes, I will notify you in advance." Renly also said seriously, "Well, let us get back to business now, how about？”
Next, Renly told Andy all about his plan..
Andy also calmed down, because Renly's plan still requires his cooperation. Unlike Diesel, in the contest between Renly and Thomas, the outcome cannot be determined by relying solely on absolute strength or strategizing. Both sides must use all their eighteen martial arts skills to compete in calculations and counter-calculations..
After ending the call, Andy did not make the next move immediately, but thought carefully. He had to admit that Renly's wisdom and calmness were indeed impressive, and he was definitely one step ahead; but Renly His overall view is still a little weak, and he needs to complete some details..
