2113 black comedy
There is no doubt that with Renly's current reputation and status, he will never lack invitations to appear in works. Even if his schedule is full, the invitations are still coming continuously. There is no 2015, and there is still 2016. , 2017, and 2018, the projects that we are looking forward to Renly joining are truly "endless" and "countless". Andy Rogers' working hours are always full..
From "Jurassic World" to "Rogue One", after Renly opened up his intention to perform in commercial films and expressed his willingness to appear in comedy works in many public occasions, he is now being invited to more and more types of works. It’s getting wider and wider, and Andy’s mailbox is filled with all kinds of movie invitations..
To be honest, among countless works, Andy chose "The Lobster", which is undoubtedly very interesting. Especially when the original actor was Jason Clark..
Andy had no way of knowing that in the previous life, "The Lobster" finally chose Colin Farrell, who is the same type of actor as Jason Clark and comes from the same origin. This also means that Ogus tends to use tough guys to play roles. The considerations are unknown, but in the context of the "Lobster" story, it is indeed very interesting; now, Andy has taken the initiative to fight for Renly's acting opportunities, so why is this?？
“Jason Clark? "Renly raised his voice slightly, showing confusion..
Andy misunderstood what Renly meant and nodded in affirmation, "Yes, I actually don't understand the reason why Ogus chose Jason Clark, but I don't even understand the reason why Jason Clark refused. I heard The news is that Jason had already agreed to star in the project, but later received an invitation to star in the 'Terminator' reboot project. So, he rejected Ogus and chose 'Terminator'. It's that simple..”
“"Terminator" reboot project? Is it "Terminator: Genisys"”？
“A regrettable choice." Renly expressed regret, from here we can see the effect of the interaction between the agent and the actor：
One is "The Lobster" and the other is "Terminator: Genisys". The former is a new attempt by a European art director, and the latter is a reboot of a traditional action series. These are two completely different projects, although the final decision is inevitable. It is the actor's own decision, but the project recommendation is done by the agent. Naturally, we can also see the agent's tendency - he has ideas for art films, but ultimately chooses commercial films. The agent's persuasion and guidance are, for actors, It is an important reference point. There are only a few actors like Renly who take the absolute initiative..
Andy explained the reason for Jason's withdrawal, but still did not answer Renly's curiosity, "I mean, Jason and I are completely different types of actors. Why did you choose this work? I don't think I fit the mold. Ogles' vision for the characters and actors.”
“Haha." Andy laughed directly, "First of all, Renly, when did you become so humble? If you are interested in this work, no matter whether the director likes it or not, you will actively fight for it. Only after the fight can you accept or reject the final result. Secondly, I think you are also a tough guy actor, even better than Jason. Be more suitable, because you are not bound by a frame and can show countless possibilities. Don't forget, 'Fast and Furious 5' and 'Edge of Tomorrow' are the best proof that you can also become an excellent action actor.”
Renly also laughed along with Andy, "I can't refute, but my problem now is that your choice is not mine..”
It would not be surprising if Renly chose "Lobster", because Renly is always eager to challenge some novel roles and break his own performance boundaries. The eccentric "Lobster" is a style that Renly has never tried before. type, that must be a very interesting thing.
The premise is that Renly is an actor.
But if it is Andy who is an agent, this is worth discussing: does this mean that Andy's thinking mode is also being assimilated by Renly?？
Andy immediately understood the meaning of Renly's words, but instead of answering honestly, he asked, "You don't like it? My job is to select a work that you like to meet your needs..”
“No, your job is to choose a suitable work, or in other words, a work that we are both satisfied with, so that my career as an actor can shine more brightly. There is a difference." Renly retorted seriously..
“So, you mean, you don't like it? "Andy still didn't answer Renly's question..
Renly chuckled, "The problem now is, I like.”
Those simple words seemed profound, and Andy was defeated after all, "Because this is a black comedy, I think you can make some challenges again.".”
“that's all? "It's simpler than imagined. Renly thought there was some complicated story behind it.".
“Yes, that's it." Andy said simply, "You've always wanted to star in a comedy. Although there are quite a few comedies every year, there's no way I can make you take the self-destructive route, right? Even if you don't mind, the audience won't buy it.”
Even actors with a thousand faces have limitations and constraints. If Daniel Day-Lewis is glib and garrulous, or if Meryl Streep becomes a glamorous idol star, the audience may not buy it; Similarly, if Renly is allowed to show off his vulgarity regardless of his image, no matter how realistic the performance is, it is impossible to bring out Renly's true charm, then it is a failed casting..
“‘"The Lobster" has not been able to start filming due to a series of problems. I accidentally learned the news and thought that you should like this work very much. It is a comedy, but it has black humor. The whole performance style is also more restrained, presenting a unique This subtle performance state is very suitable for you. I think you should be able to perform it, so I took the initiative to contact Ogus and started a simple discussion. I think this should be an interesting project." Andy Said in summary.
After a slight pause, Andy didn't hear a response from the voice on the other end of the phone. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Renly?" Because Renly was not such an impolite person, he couldn't interrupt the conversation without any reason. There must be a reason: for example, falling into a state of thinking？
“Oh, I'm sorry, I was just recalling the script and characters, but my memory is a little blurry." The smile on Renly's lips slightly rose..
Andy has never forgotten his persistence, which is a good thing. Their cooperation is indeed becoming more and more harmonious..
“I read so many scripts at that time that I couldn’t even remember them in the end." Renly told the truth, "But I am indeed interested, I just thought that Ogos might not agree." Because Renly knew that Ogos would not agree. Gus later chose Colin Farrell.
“We haven't discussed it yet." Andy explained, "Remember the question I asked at the beginning? If you want to take a good rest, then we will refuse, there is always an opportunity; if you are willing to invest in the filming of a film in November or December, then I will discuss it further with Ogus. This is just a preliminary exchange of views..“
Andy's thoughtfulness made Renly laugh happily, but instead of giving a positive answer, he looked to the left and said, "Do you know what I did in London recently?？”
“Let me guess, West End? "Andy gave the answer. This is not an eternal problem..
Renly became even happier, "I recently watched some plays, and then met several directors and producers. You know, the atmosphere in the West End is really an actor's paradise. There are plays every day, and there are creative collisions every day. We are constantly improving, and performing here is such a wonderful thing. Whether as an audience or as a creator, this is an intoxicating place..”
As he spoke, Renly couldn't help but sit up slightly, "I thought, maybe I should take some time out again to really complete a year's performance on the theater stage, not for a breakthrough or challenge, but simply for How wonderful it would be to enjoy the performance. Now I finally understand the thoughts of the senior actors. Standing on the stage itself is happiness..”
It is customary for British actors to return to London's West End every now and then. Renly never questioned it before, but could not really understand the reason, but now he understands: acting is not only a challenge, but also an enjoyment..
Andy could feel Renly's joy and couldn't help but chuckle..
“"And more," Renly said eagerly, "Last night, Rooney and I discussed starring in the TV series. Although everyone said that TV series still rely more on screenwriters, and actors have less room to play, but I still remember ? I selected those scripts at the beginning of the year, and now there are more and more wonderful dramas. The creative content allowed in TV dramas is gradually exceeding that in movies, and the boundaries that actors can explore are becoming wider and wider. This is a very interesting thing..”
“Compared with movies, TV series have longer context and larger capacity, allowing actors to complete performances and shape characters in a chain-like area, just like the original "Pacific War", which proposed the integration of actors and scripts. In order to meet higher requirements, I think this is worthy of careful study. Of course, what I am talking about is short series or limited series, and those long-form series are another story." Renly himself couldn't help laughing, and the words Revealing lightness.
Andy can also feel the happiness from the inside out.
“So, I mean, if I have the chance, I would still like to star in a drama or TV series, and the same goes for movies. So far this year, I have been taking a break for most of the time, and I just filmed one movie, "Jurassic World." If there are other opportunities to star, feel free to come forward, I would be more than happy." Renly finally gave the answer..
Andy pursed his lips and chuckled contentedly: Such an answer was completely unsurprising. Renly is still the same Renly and has not changed. "Okay, I understand. I will contact Ogus." , leave the follow-up matters to me, and let me know if anything happens. Before the news comes out, just enjoy this short vacation..”
