1849 Backyard fire
Arthur didn't want to make a fuss, at least not in front of Renly. His usual teasing and complaining were one thing, but when he really encountered something, he restrained himself..
This was the first time Renly had formally asked for his help..
Although the affairs of Sisyphus Pictures have not happened in a day or two, Arthur still helped the company prepare the first start-up capital in Europe. From that time on, the boundary between him and Renly has been broken. ; But at that time, it was done through Andre, through Andy, and through Matthew, but today it was Renly who personally called and made the request..
Arthur's emotions are a little mixed.
Not moved, nor happy, but... sour, a certain heavy emotion slowly sinking in my stomach. It is difficult to accurately describe whether the positive emotions are dominant or the negative emotions are dominant. It is more like a combination. The disturbing thoughts in my mind just surged up..
“When does it begin? How long does it take to create movement? "Arthur hid his emotions well, and instead responded in a more serious manner, without the previous joking and mischief at all; but his slightly tight vocal cords still made him a little embarrassed - in Lan It is not easy to completely conceal your emotions in front of a gift.
“It's best if there is some movement within two weeks, no matter how big or small, as long as there is movement." Renly didn't seem to notice Arthur's abnormality at all, "After that, you and Andre will discuss it. You can slow down the pace appropriately, because we still don’t need direct injection of Wall Street funds for the time being. The pace is still controlled by you..”
Renly knew this was a very contradictory request.：
On the one hand, they need to arouse the interest of Wall Street, and on the other hand, they cannot arouse too much interest, and still need to keep a distance; on the one hand, they need to show sufficient strength to win development space, and on the other hand, they cannot let Wall Street capital Being too close also made them think that Sisyphus Pictures lacked sincerity, and then thought that they were being fooled..
This is a self-contradictory plan. If it weren't for Thomas taking the initiative to start the war, Sisyphus Pictures would have no need to take such risks. A little carelessness may disrupt the overall plan that was previously made, and even play with fire and burn oneself..
But the problem is that Renly doesn't think Thomas will give up - what's more, Sisyphus Films has gradually appeared in Hollywood's sight. Even if it is avoided this time, it cannot avoid the next time. Rather than wait until it is passive in the future. If you are forced to fight back, it is better to make arrangements in advance while you have the initiative now. On the contrary, you can gain more advantages for yourself..
The shopping mall is like a battlefield. Renly did not clearly understand this point; but Renly knew the game of Go very well. When launching an attack, he must make a comprehensive plan and just hope to kill the opponent's big dragon. It is an unrealistic idea to end the chess game. It affects the whole body. Only those seemingly unimportant moves can form a dragnet..
Now, Renly is about to light a torch in Thomas's back garden. Although their battlefield is still on the front line, as long as Thomas' backyard is on fire and he loses sight of one thing, he can reverse the current passive situation and regain the initiative. This game is At the beginning, he was not ready to give up or escape. Now that Thomas had decided to go to war, he would stay with him until the end.！
When it comes to shopping malls, Arthur knows better than Renly. He pondered for a moment, and the thoughts in his mind sorted out an outline. But he still needs to discuss it further with Andre, and the whole plan will gradually become clear, "I Got it. I'll make arrangements.”
After the main story was told, just when Renly was about to hang up the phone, Arthur hesitated and asked with concern, "Renly, I'm facing Thomas, are you okay?"？”
In fact, Arthur is worried about Renly's performance status, because he knows that all the off-site harassment is actually meaningless to Renly. What Renly really cares about is his acting work. Now Thomas is disrupting Renly's work balance. Even though he was not distracted from formulating a response plan, he was still a little worried..
But Arthur and Renly would never bring up such words. He really didn't feel comfortable with it. The words he said were so dry and tasteless, and the meaning was not quite right..
After the words were spoken, Arthur regretted it. He must have lost his mind. Can he take it back now?？
“Haha." Renly's low laughter came from the receiver, "I'm fine. If something happened to me, you wouldn't be the first person I ask for help..”
Arthur couldn't help but grind his teeth secretly: Damn Renly.
“But, still... thank you." Renly continued, "In addition, Arthur, you are not suitable for the image of gentle care." Then the call was hung up..
Arthur held the phone and froze for a while, wondering whether he should be moved or depressed. In the end, he decided to continue to "hate" Renly, "That damn guy, huh.”
Sitting there, Arthur's emotions gradually calmed down, and he suddenly understood what the unexplainable mixed emotions just now were.：
bond.
It is not simply family or friendship, nor simple trust or dependence, but fetters, which connect people together and tightly connect them..
Although Renly is a demon, the feeling of this bond seems... not bad. Before he realized it, his steps became brisk..
……
The undercurrent in Hollywood has begun to surge again - of course, in the circle of Vanity Fair, the undercurrent and the undercurrent have never disappeared. The only difference lies in the size..
Judging from the current news, it is not too big. At least it is much smaller in scale and involvement than the time when the four major film companies collaborated at the beginning of the year. People in the industry have also become a crowd, and occasionally chat about this time after dinner. Action, clearing away layers of fog, looking for the true face and purpose of both parties behind the game..
For the industry, if it is just a personal grudge and it has not yet risen to the corporate level, then no matter how big and top-notch the two parties are, this is not considered a big news, it can only be said to be a behind-the-scenes tidbit that is not worth mentioning. " Even Thomas Tull, who was involved in the matter, thought so, completely unaware that Renly's actions had quietly extended towards Wall Street..
In the final analysis, it is still about the overall situation and overall situation in the game of Go. Some people can only see the five steps in front of them, but some people have already calculated the fifteen steps in the future. Thomas's backyard has ignited a spark, but he has none. Sensing the approaching crisis, all attention still stayed on the level in front of them - it wasn't that Thomas was too careless or too stupid, but that Renly's layout and strategy were more bold and risky..
Although at the company management level, Renly's overall view is still lacking; but in the chess game of blueprint planning, he has an advantage that others do not have..
In this way, Los Angeles is quietly surging, and at the same time, no one is aware of the movements in New York; paparazzi are gathering towards Honolulu, and at the same time, changes within the crew are also happening bit by bit..
“The crew of "Jurassic World" officially started filming without any fuss, because Renly was low-key and restrained, and solved the problem with a light and simple method without causing much commotion. This also led to the confrontation between Renly and Thomas. It was controlled within the cognition of a small group and did not affect the daily work of the crew - this is also Renly's ultimate goal..
So, the crew started shooting; at the same time, the action behind the scenes did not stop, but the changes hidden in the daily bits and pieces were too trivial and too light. It’s impossible to capture the details in one meeting, it’s more of a subtle and subtle change..
Most people can only suddenly understand what happened to those strange details in the past when they wait for the real qualitative change; only a very, very small number of people can catch the development of things by chance, and then They glimpsed the nature of change in advance, and then suddenly realized it, but before that, they were also kept in the dark, passively pushed forward by the essential principles of things, and went with the flow..
For example, Nina Parker could detect some of the changes, but she still couldn't capture the real cause, and then she was trapped in her own emotions and couldn't extricate herself..
Nina walked quickly across the crew. Now the entire crew was enjoying lunch, but she had to make macro-control for the first scene in the afternoon to ensure that the connection and cooperation between the cast and other departments were in place, so she was on the crew I was walking back and forth between different departments. Because I hadn’t eaten, my blood sugar was still low. I felt faintly dizzy, and then my temper became more and more irritable..
From the corner of her sight, she could see the bustling crowd not far away, and the faint aroma of coffee floated in the air. She couldn't help but stop in her footsteps, staring blankly at the noisy and prosperous scene in front of her, her brain was blank because of too much Tired and unable to think, she just stood there in a daze, without sadness or joy. Why did she stop?？
Immediately afterwards, Nina reacted - the dining car.
Renly really fulfilled his promise and turned the luxury van into a common room. Together with the dining car that later joined him, it formed a mobile relaxation space for the crew; what's even more rare is that the dining car changes suppliers every day, Japanese food, Chinese cuisine, Mexican cuisine, Italian pizza or American fast food, etc. The lunch menu, which is constantly changing and updated every day, is really a treat and has become a major feature of the crew..
But Nina doesn't like it, it can even be said to be disgusting.
That's their hard work! After spending countless efforts and time, it has now become a public place? Renly "gave up" their efforts so cheaply, with no respect at all. This made Nina feel sick to her stomach..
