2154 Rush on time
Ogos always believed that Renly's joining could have a devastating change on the artistic creation of the entire film, which was also the fundamental reason for his rejection..
In fact, it is not only Ogus, not only Europe, but the entire film industry that is prone to misunderstandings.——
There are absolutely very few actors in the entire industry who can have Renly's power. Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, etc. are just a few, and these actors all hold the power of producers of the crew. Whether and how they interfere is a personal matter, but they do have the ability to change the dynamics of the entire crew; then, after Renly reaches such a level, the possibility of completely letting go is very low, even if Renly doesn't want to In power, Renly will be forced to take power within the agency industry and within the film industry..
That's what it means to be in your position. If Renly refuses to take power, what can the other actors who want to take power do? There are many similarities between producer power and pay scale. Renly can retain his own personality, but cannot resist the power of the entire industry..
What's more, Renly also founded Sisyphus Pictures, and has participated in the production of "Nightcrawler", "Cruel Drummer", "Interstellar" and "Jurassic World", plus "Fast and Furious/ 7" and the behind-the-scenes involvement in the Gaiden series, this also demonstrates Renly's ambition and ability for the producer position. He has undoubtedly become one of the most powerful top producers in Hollywood today, and there is no one else. one：
After all, Renly is undefeated in his career so far.
Therefore, we cannot blame Ogos. The entire film industry around the world has taken it for granted: Renly is the biggest star today, so he should enjoy corresponding treatment; as for whether Renly is humble and cooperative? For outsiders, they have no way of knowing. This is also the main source of prejudice and misunderstanding - stemming from ignorance..
“……I thought you were trying to take creative control.”
After all, Ogos is still an honest man, and he honestly expressed his thoughts, which made Renly a little helpless, but also a little funny..
To be honest, it doesn't feel good to be misunderstood or wronged, but this is also one of the negative effects of "being in a cold place". This is not the first time and it will not be the last time..
Renly chuckled lightly, "Believe me, if I try to snatch it away, you won't have a chance to resist." The strong and domineering nature revealed in the understatement made Ogus choke directly..
If he had a strong personality, he might have turned the table on Renly at this time; but Ogos had a meek personality. He felt aggrieved and depressed for a long time, and in the end he couldn't tell the reason - he knew that Renly Seriously, if Sisyphus Films buys out the production rights and then forcibly changes the script, or arranges to participate in the cast, then Ogus will have almost no ability to resist.
Are there many similar situations in Hollywood?？
Leaving aside the countless dead souls in the hands of the early film and television managers of the six major film companies, the number of art films killed by Weinstein Films in this way is countless, with a dozen or more appearing almost every year. For Harvey Weinstein For Einstein, all artistic works that cannot create value during the awards season are meaningless. Even if he destroys an independent filmmaker's life-long efforts, he will not feel any guilt..
“……You can't, right? "Ogus held it in for a long time and finally said something. Then he looked at Renly uneasily, fearing that Renly would give a negative answer..
Renly didn't have any special expression. He just stared at Ogoth quietly. His calm expression made Ogoth panic little by little. He lowered his gaze and avoided Renly's gaze, but Then he raised his eyes again, hoping to find the answer in Renly's eyes..
Then, the smile on Renly's lips rose, feeling a little helpless - sometimes, he would also feel angry, but after the anger, he felt helpless. He thought he had shown enough sincerity, and the long discussion just now, has made his attitude and position clear.
But the reality is that misunderstandings still exist after all. Many times, he can't even give an explanation; more often than not, the explanation is meaningless..
Faced with Ogoth's simplicity and honesty, "No, I won't." Renly replied in the affirmative, and then calmly explained, "What I am good at is still acting, not screenwriting, and not directing." Renly could clearly feel that Ogus's whole body relaxed, "Some of what I explained may be applicable, but some are not. In the end, you still need to complete the integration, and finally tell me how to perform..”
“Oggs, I am an actor, and I am just an actor." After saying that, Renly had a slight smile on his lips, but there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes..
If even European art directors can't believe him, then Hollywood is even less likely. This reminds Renly of the cautious attitude of the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival, who have treated Sisyphus Films and Don Quixote Channel There is always hesitation, which is more or less related to Renly and Hollywood. The conflict between business and art will always be a key issue that cannot be reconciled..
Ogos is an otaku with a delicate mind and keen emotions. He was keenly aware of Renly's mood swings, but he was unable to analyze the specific content. He vaguely guessed：
Could it be that his words hurt Renly?？
But that kind of mixed emotions was fleeting. Before Ogus had time to savor it, it had disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never happened..
“So, what do you think? Can my idea spark some inspiration? Or maybe you have other suggestions for modification? "Renly brought the topic back again, and his calm and calm attitude brought Ogus's thoughts back on track..
“Uh... I need a little time." Ogus hesitated, and this was his first reaction, but he immediately realized that there was an ambiguity in this sentence, "I mean, modify the script, I need a little time to modify the script. You The idea is very good and gave me a lot of inspiration in character design..”
“David can be divorced or single, but more importantly, the reason for the divorce and his personality will all have an impact on the development of the subsequent story and the character's lines and reactions. This means However, the script may need extensive revisions.”
Ogus grabbed his hair with excitement and annoyance, and scratched his head anxiously - full of joy, "My original plan was to start filming in December, and we would stay in England or Ireland. , we took advantage of the winter here to complete the shooting. We used natural light as much as possible to create that gloomy and cold atmosphere, which is purely natural. But if we need to modify the script now, phew, I don’t know. Is this too hasty? It took me nearly a year to complete this script and nearly three months to revise it..”
Renly didn't respond, because these were the director's own work, and there was no need for him to intervene - unless he became a producer and the director asked for help..
“Oh, I'm sorry, I started talking to myself again." Ogus soon realized that he had made the mistake again, and then he let out a long breath, "I think that after the script is revised, it will be completely new. , but the problem now is that I don’t have a clear idea of how to flesh out the details of many characters. It’s like the characters are full of vitality. It’s not me who sets them, but the characters should have their own development..”
“Do you think we can revise the script while filming? I mean, can we do it at the same time, sit down and discuss when necessary, and discuss the development of the plot and the changes in the characters, or do you think we should complete the script before going into filming?？”
Ogoth raised his gaze and asked Renly for his opinion..
“I haven't tried it, but I think it's a very interesting challenge." Renly told the truth - in fact, not all directors have scripts, just like the famous Jia/Wei-Wang.
When filming "Spring/Light/Uncle", "2046" and other works, the actors did not have scripts. They had no idea what they were performing. Except for the director, no one knew the plot and context of the story. But in fact, even the director himself does not have a complete script, and basically shoots wherever he thinks; every day, before the actors officially start shooting, they get a few lines and some emotions, and then start shooting directly. Many Sometimes actors don’t know what their characters are doing.
Writing scripts while filming is indeed uncommon in Hollywood's mature assembly line, but it is not unheard of. It mainly depends on the director's style; there are countless situations where scripts are modified while filming..
However, Renly has never experienced such a situation. Even when he was "detached", Tony Kaye only continued to adjust his emotions based on the script. The actor had a clear understanding of the entire story and character; if he adjusted his lines on the spot, Even creating plot trends on the spot will place higher demands on actors, which is also another form of performance..
To be honest, Renly was a little eager to give it a try.
After Chao/Wei-Liang Hezi/Yi-Zhang and other actors filmed Jia/Wei-Wang's work, they all complained bitterly, and even publicly stated that they would never take his role again in the future, because it was really terrible. torture; but the next time the director calls, they will show up honestly.
Now Renly is yearning for this kind of "torture", a torture that is different from all his previous performance experiences. Live performances may trigger different creative inspirations. This is bound to be a very interesting thing..
But expectations are expectations, and Renly still needs to ask one thing, "Ogus, what you are saying now is that you are ready to formally send me a performance invitation? You have given up on the idea of Jason Clark and are willing to use me. ?？”
