2112 One in a million
Among Yorgos Lanthimos's works, whether it is "Dog Tooth" or "Alps", including "The Lobster", they are actually scripts that are very suitable for stage plays, because Yorgos is used to working within a framework. To create a small world within and use this absurd world to reflect reality, this is undoubtedly very suitable for stage performances; but at the same time, this is also the reason why many viewers think that his directorial ability is relatively limited - out of a weird and bizarre world After the ridiculous script, most of his skills will be reduced.
But Renly thinks this is unfair.
Look at Billy Wilder, Woody Allen, Quentin Tarantino, the Coen brothers, etc. Their image styles are all based on scripts, which are also an integral part of the entire work. There is no need to treat them separately. The same is true for Ogles' script..
In any case, Ogles is indeed well-known in London's West End.
Knowing that Renly had heard the name of Oggs, Andy relaxed a little and patted his belly gently. He completely lost the worry about gain and loss when discussing "Rogue One", "That would be great. It seems to me that you have never cooperated with European directors, and then you are trying to establish further cooperation with the three major European film festivals, so I think maybe this is an opportunity..”
Renly chuckled softly, "I will temporarily ignore the fact that you excluded Britain from the European plate. Christopher Nolan, the British man, must be a little aggrieved, but you have forgotten Rodrigo Cortez. I've worked with European directors, I've done several projects in Europe, but... I understand what you mean, so let's get back to it, do you think his scripted projects are worth watching?？”
Rodrigo Cortez, the director of "Buried Alive", Renly shot the entire movie in Barcelona.
However, Andy's point is that European directors are in another system. Starring in the works of European directors will not only open up more possibilities in the three major European film festivals, but Renly's multi-lingual skills will undoubtedly be a benefit; And it can also open up opportunities for in-depth cooperation with Sisyphus Films——
This is not to say that the Don Quixote Channel will start to expand into the international market now, opening French channels, Spanish channels, etc., it is too early to talk about these; but it is about the online broadcast rights of the works of European independent film companies in the US market. It can be left to Sisyphus Pictures, which is also crucial for the Don Quixote Channel in its early stages. Of course, it can also lay the foundation for long-term development..
Regarding Andy's intentions, directors like Christopher Nolan who have cooperated with American film companies for a long time naturally cannot be counted; as for Rodrigo, his influence in Spanish-language films is still too small; and Yorgos Definitely meets all Andy's requirements.
Renly's teasing made Andy chuckle, "Someone is in a good mood today..“
“During the holidays, I am always in a good mood." Renly did not deny it..
“You deserve it." Andy didn't refute. After finishing the filming of "Jurassic World" and the promotion of "Cruel Drummer" in Venice and Toronto, Renly should indeed take a break before returning to work. Let’s get to the point, “But I’m not sure now whether I should interrupt your vacation..”
“You can talk about it first." Renly was willing to open up the possibility..
Andy nodded, "Actually, it's because of you that Ogus's work is in sight. Do you still remember the list of works you selected at the beginning of the year? Ogus's work is among them..”
“‘lobster'? "Renly immediately gave the answer..
“Yes, it seems that you are also deeply impressed by this work." Andy couldn't help but sigh, "Do you remember that there is another movie called 'The Dying Girl'?？”
“Of course, if there is a chance, I think that work is also very interesting." Renly expressed his affirmation, "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl", this fresh sketch is an independent work that Renly likes very much, and it has The typical style of Sundance is still very different from independent films that are more in line with the mainstream aesthetic such as "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Juno", but the audience who likes it can always find their own resonance in it..
“In fact, I seriously considered both of these works, but in the end I chose 'The Lobster'. The main reason is that Ouges is a European director. Oh, by the way, this work is in English, not Greek. Wait, do you also know Greek? "Andy suddenly panicked..
Renly laughed cheerfully, "I don't know Greek, if you're serious about asking..”
Andy let out a breath and laughed himself, "Who knows, you will create some surprises from time to time, and I must always be prepared, right?" After a little joke, Andy started again Back to business, "That list really helped a lot. Now there are rumors in the industry that our company has its own blacklist.".”
“Agency, or film company? "The corners of Renly's mouth also raised lightly..
“Brokerage company. Many brokers have sent spies to inquire and find out what is going on. Even many people within our company have asked, but this is Sisyphean's list and I cannot disclose it at will. It is really embarrassing. ." Even so, Andy's tone had a hint of ostentation. Renly could imagine Andy's arrogant and arrogant attitude within the Creative Artists Agency..
this is a good thing.
Andy continued, "Anyway, I'm also trying to find the next work for you. Originally, I was planning to consider it after the filming of 'Rogue One' was over, so I missed the work of 'The Dying Girl'. Summer Filming has officially started. I was originally expecting you to play a high school student. Since "Fighting Cancer", you haven't appeared in an age-appropriate film. I'm worried that fans will think you are over thirty-five..”
“Haha, I don't mind." Renly curled up on the sofa, relaxed his body, picked up coffee, and chatted in an extremely comfortable way, as if he was chatting with friends all night long, "Maybe I will star in the show. Instead of playing the role of college students, they are considered to be stealing job opportunities from young people..”
“That is also a possibility." Andy nodded seriously and expressed his affirmation, "Actually, 'Lobster' is also a combination of circumstances. I personally think the script is very interesting. This is also the project you originally selected, and it should be considered a black film. Comedy, although it does not require a performance to give comedy elements, the performance status is indeed different. I think this should be a good attempt, but Ogus has already found an actor to play the leading role. Coupled with your schedule, I also Just gave up.”
“Who was the original male lead? "Renly was a little curious..
In the previous life, Colin Farrell starred in "The Lobster".
This is an actor who became famous at a young age. He was widely praised when he first appeared on the big screen at the age of 20. His spiritual and delicate performance is attached to his rough and tough appearance, which can often burst out a strong hormonal atmosphere. At the age of four, he became famous in Hollywood with "Battlefield" and "Lawless". He was once considered to be able to partner with Brad Pitt. The resources in the early stage of his acting career were so good that it made people jealous..
Regrettably, he ruined his bright future with his own hands. He drank alcohol, took drugs, and had a bad temper. Apart from leaking video tapes of himself applauding for love many times, his playboy nature also constantly challenged his girlfriend's bottom line, causing a lot of controversy. The negative news overshadowed the influence of the actor's career bit by bit, causing people to shift their focus. The weirdness of Hollywood Vanity Fair completely swallowed him up..
So much so that people have completely forgotten that when Colin was 25 years old, he starred in two works, "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Hart's War", and his acting skills were both highly recognized..
Even so, Colin's career as an actor has not been completely ruined - otherwise, how can we say that his resources are so outstanding that they are enviable? In the more than ten years since then, he has been ups and downs, ups and downs, but he has always been able to find outstanding works and excellent roles. But then, he himself strangled the newly revived career to death, and even Makes people wonder if he has self-destructive tendencies.
The reason why Renly asked was because he smelled a "but" in Andy's words. If the original male lead had not changed, Andy would not have mentioned this work to Renly, because the movie might The filming started smoothly, so now the so-called original male lead should not be Colin Farrell.
“Jason Clark." Andy gave a very unexpected answer.
For many people, Jason Clark is a very unfamiliar name. It seems that he has no special masterpiece and the name has no impression at all; but as long as he sees that face, he can immediately think of it, "very familiar" , this is a typical drama where a celebrity is not popular..
Jason Clark also entered Hollywood during the turn of the century. He was already twenty-nine years old at the time, which was still relatively young for Hollywood. He had starred in some works, mostly supporting roles, and also appeared in TV series. Resume Very rich, but it has never become popular..
“He can be seen in works such as "Death Race", "Public Enemies", "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps", "The Great Gatsby", "Lawless", "Danger", etc. He can be regarded as a golden supporting actor in Hollywood. , but even as a supporting role, he did not reach his peak, and was more just familiar..
This year, the 45-year-old Jason Clark starred in "Dawn for the Planet of the Apes", which became a turning point in his career, allowing him to win more starring opportunities. In fact, this is very common in Hollywood. Male actors The peak period usually comes after the age of thirty-five and before the age of fifty..
What really surprises Renly is not the age of Jason Clark and Colin Farrell, but the image and style of these two actors are more inclined to tough guys or vicissitudes of middle-aged men. Obviously, this is not Renly. image positioning.
So, how did Andy choose this work among thousands of invitations?？
