206 dumbfounding
When we returned to the hotel, night had fallen again. This afternoon, Renly watched two more movies and stayed by the bonfire outside the town for more than an hour. He drank two bottles of beer and watched the movies. The enthusiasts were red-faced as they argued... If someone hadn't accidentally knocked the barbecue sauce over his clothes, he wouldn't have planned to come back..
Pushing open the door of the hotel room, he hadn't been back for two days, but he didn't feel unfamiliar at all. Compared with the neat and cold furnishings of the hotel, he still felt that the tents and lawns outside the town were more friendly. He went to the bathroom to put away the dirty clothes. After changing my clothes, taking a shower and changing my clothes, I felt refreshed and didn't seem to feel tired at all..
Opening the bathroom door, Renly saw Andy Rogers sitting on the sofa. "Hey." Renly raised his hand to say hello, threw the dirty clothes in his hand into the laundry basket, and then rummaged through the closet to find the right one. clothes and thinking about which movie to watch tonight.
Looking at the contented Renly, as if he didn't exist at all, Andy was helpless and could only take the initiative to raise the topic, "How does it feel? Telluride？”
“Wonderful! "Renly did not hesitate and gave a simple but affirmative evaluation. This is the film festival he dreamed of in his previous life. All movie lovers gather together, regardless of high or low, rich or poor, and regardless of knowledge. Just Just simply exchange my opinions and express my opinions. Everything is just about the movie.
Telluride is truly a Mecca for movie lovers.
Andy could taste a hint of excitement in Renly's words, which made him smile, "That would be great. I was a little worried before. You looked very tired after Toronto.".”
“Of course not." Renly picked out a dark blue sweatshirt and a pair of light blue jeans. "Do you have any special plans tonight? In the past two days, the reputation of 'Legal Copy' has been going up and down. I don't understand what's going on. I plan to go and take a look in person tonight..”
When he came to Telluride this time, he thought it would be similar to Toronto, so he brought five sets of suits and only two sets of casual clothes. many.
“I have no plans tonight." Andy still looked like a Maitreya Buddha, sitting on the sofa with a smile. His warm and bright temperament always made people feel very comfortable, "I originally wanted to invite you to dinner. ..." There is no need to finish the last half of the sentence, the meaning is already clear..
Renly couldn't help but chuckled, "You are welcome to join me at any time to watch the movie. I heard that there will be a barbecue party outside the town later, but I'm not sure whether it is dinner or supper. How about it? Are you interested?？”
Andy waved his hand with a smile, "I'd better not join in the fun, that's for young people." This self-deprecating joke made Renly laugh out loud, "Aren't you curious about why I suddenly appeared? In your room?" Seeing that Renli had no intention of speaking, Andy could only take the initiative to get to the point..
“If something happens, you will speak up sooner or later, right? "After Renly changed his clothes, he walked over barefoot on the dark carpet in the hotel room wearing white socks. He held the pair of ginger work boots at the door in his hand and sat down to start putting on shoes. That calm Andy was so frank that he couldn't refute, "By the way, I also have something to tell you. Before I forget, I have confirmed my next project and have already negotiated with the director. As for the contract... it should be in the evening or tomorrow. Send it over. You can take a look at it then..”
Andy felt a tightness in his chest, as if there was a ball of cotton stuffed in his throat. Even his smile couldn't help but stiffen slightly. "When did it happen?" This was the only question Andy could ask..
“In the morning." Renly put his boots on, then added, "Today.”
Andy felt his temples begin to twitch, and his forehead felt a dull pain. "Renly, do you know what the job of an agent is? Or, do you know how capable I am?" He thought it was necessary for him to talk to Lan Li. Let’s have a formal discussion.
As Renly's agent, he didn't play his role at all. He seemed to be just a decoration. The recent release promotion of "Buried Alive" was not his job at all. The Academy PR for the upcoming awards season could be considered, but It's not the time to show off yet. Forget it about being "buried alive" before, he missed Renly's process of selecting works, but it happened again this time, which made Andy feel very frustrated..
“My job is to select works for you, recommend works worth shooting, find people you want to work with, and pave the way for you to become a top star. My connections can be all over the six major film companies, and everything you can name. The famous independent film company." Andy summed it up as simply as possible. The strength and domineering in the understatement made Renly feel the confidence of a top agent..
“But now, you bypassed my work and went straight to the next project. What about me? Shouldn't you make the most of me? I am your agent and your spokesperson, and I should be responsible for selecting your works." The Andy in front of him was a little eager and a little aggrieved. Although there was still a smile on his lips, he was very different from his usual appearance. Far.
Renly put on his boots and stepped on the carpet, but he couldn't help but stop and looked at Andy seriously. "Your job is to find a suitable project for me, right?" Andy nodded. Expressing affirmation, "Your job is to find projects worth investing in for me, right? Your job is to get more benefits and more room for development for me, right?" Andy nodded again.
“So, now that I have found the perfect project in my mind, and then hand over the contract negotiation to you, isn’t this the most perfect result? "Renly's expression of matter-of-factness made Andy's head hurt even more..
Taking a deep breath, Andy calmed himself down, "Renly, I'm not saying that you get the right project, which is wrong in itself, but that you believe in my work and my ability. Otherwise, you Why sign an agent?？”
Renly's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he understood what Andy meant..
Since his rebirth, Renly has always walked alone on the road of his dreams. Even Matthew Dunlop, he didn't say much, not because he didn't believe in others, but because he didn't know how to explain the miracle of second life. , and didn’t know how to move forward. While groping along the way, he had already become accustomed to firmly holding the initiative in his own hands. Coupled with the strong opposition of George and Elizabeth, he unknowingly became accustomed to fighting alone..
“Phew." Renly exhaled softly and showed a warm smile, "I'm sorry, I was too confident..”
Without any detours or hesitation, Renly admitted his mistake frankly. Andy was stunned for a moment, the smile on his lips fell into his eyes, and the turbulent emotions returned to their usual level again, "So , what kind of work is it that you can’t wait to follow?？”
Judging from Andy's understanding, before Telluride, Renly had no movement at all, but today he suddenly confirmed the project. If he guessed correctly, it should be the opportunity he encountered at the film festival in the past two days..
“A work that combines 'Before Sunrise' and 'Blue Valentine'." Renly tried hard to find a suitable description, and then thought about it seriously. He couldn't think of a more accurate word for the time being, and nodded in affirmation. "You can think of it like this, the name is 'Love is Crazy'’.”
Andy's eyes lit up slightly. From "Pacific War" to "Buried Alive", it can be seen that Renly's vision in selecting works is quite trustworthy..
“"Before Sunrise" and "Blue Valentine" are both literary love movies. To sum up, this is the type of award season series; and unlike those drama movies, the promotion method of love movies is completely different, which can be regarded as somewhere between Genre movies between art and commerce can bring out actors’ physical advantages and test their commercial market value. In other words, they can become a bridge from artistic actors to commercial actors..
Even if Renly does not accept this work, Andy will be thinking about looking for a romantic comedy similar to "500 Days of Summer" next year to pave the way for Renly's career as an actor. Unexpectedly, Renly actually got it right in one step, which was a little surprise..
However, Andy was not too ecstatic. After all, Renly was still too young. The excellent selection of the two works was probably just luck and not enough to prove Renly's background. "Where is the script? Can I write it in advance?？”
“It hasn't been sent over yet." Renly's nonchalant expression made Andy's heart skip a beat - he just nodded in agreement without seeing the script? "I guess it will be sent over with the contract later..”
“Hmm." Andy groaned meaningfully, "Who wrote the script? Did you talk to the director directly or the producer? Has the production company been finalized?？”
A series of questions were asked in rapid succession, and Renly could also sense Andy's concern and urgency, and couldn't help but laugh, "I talked directly with the director, Derek Doremus, did you hear that Have you heard his name?？”
Renly knew that Andy was going to be disappointed. He was not a famous director, had not confirmed a production company, and had not even seen the script, so he just nodded and agreed. If it were from another angle, Renly would also feel that this decision was too much. It's too hasty and impulsive. After all, there's no way to realize the advantages of a reborn person, right?？
Now that he has said it, Renly decided to detonate the bomb in one breath, "In addition, the salary this time may not be too high, because the production cost is only 250,000. And I am not the only actor. The director said that the salary may only be at most Twenty thousand. However, the specific conditions are up to you to negotiate. He said that there is no problem with box office dividends..”
Andy looked stunned. He thought he was going to have a heart attack..
