“……You are really a lunatic. Promise me that next time you encounter such a character, please notify me as soon as possible, okay?？”
Jake Gyllenhaal gave Renly a hug and said with a smile on his face. The bright light in his eyes showed uncontrollable excitement and excitement. This reminded Renly of the choice of Jack's later works in the previous life - in order to seek a breakthrough. , he has indeed made many different attempts, including bold and even crazy comedy performances such as "Okja" and "Velvet Buzzsaw", but the results are hardly satisfactory..
“Please make sure your cell phone is open, I will definitely call you as soon as possible." Renly raised his right hand and made an oath gesture, and said with a serious face..
Jack patted Renly's chest with satisfaction, raised his eyebrows deliberately, as if he was teasing Renly, and then turned around and left with brisk steps..
Renly stood there and turned around to see the smile on Rachel Weisz's face. She raised her right hand to cover her eyes and hurried past Renly. Her husband Daniel Craig also followed suit. With a grimace, the two couples just walked away without giving Renly a chance to explain. They just launched a powerful "attack" with their movements, and then there was a burst of cheerful laughter around them. The atmosphere was so lively..
“He is indeed a superstar." Joel Coen's voice followed closely behind everyone, joking and joking..
Renly ignored Joel, but cast his gaze at Ethan Cohen next to him, "Is he still thinking about the girl rejecting him and choosing me?？”
This concise but subtle sentence made all kinds of people around him burst into laughter, and all kinds of strange eyes couldn't help but be cast towards Joel..
Joel was completely defeated, shook his head repeatedly, and said to Renly depressedly, "Why are you always such a bastard?"？”
“Is this why we are friends? "Renly brought back terrible memories of their first meeting in Berlin, and Joel couldn't argue with that..
Ethan ignored Joel, took the initiative to hold Renly's right hand, and gently bumped his shoulder to express greetings, "Your choices are always surprising. I didn't expect that your comedy skills are also so good. How about it?" , let’s see if we can collaborate on a movie next time？”
Black comedy, this is also the Coen brothers' specialty.
“why not? Renly said without hesitation.
But Joel had a different opinion, "Forget it, how can he manage his current schedule? We had to wait for so long for that work, and it's even more so now." Joel waved his hand, full of satisfaction. His face looked impatient, but the next second he looked at Renly again and asked curiously, "Do you have your opinion on today's script?"？”
“Ha." Renly laughed, but did not deny it..
Joel nodded repeatedly, "I knew it. The context of the character was very clear. On the contrary, Rachel's character was not full enough, and the ending was still a bit regretful. But it can be seen that you have given the character more possibilities. Just from the big picture From Wei's perspective, the script is particularly interesting..”
“Hey, gentleman, hush, don't let others see through our intentions in advance." Renly deliberately lowered his voice slightly and said meaningfully, and then the people around him who listened with their ears stretched out couldn't help but their cheeks grew hot, and they all quickened their pace. Nonetheless, they have obtained first-hand information：
The Coen brothers are positive about "The Lobster".
Does this mean that "The Lobster" may gain some success at Cannes this year?？
In fact, this is not news. Judging from the artistic style and taste of the Coen brothers, you don’t need any spoilers to know that they will like "The Lobster"; more importantly, the other members of the jury think about "The Lobster" How, and to what extent the Coen brothers love this work... Of course, there are also questions worth exploring whether other competitors can produce stronger works..
However, Renly's words are indeed an important hint: the Coen brothers, like Jack, are judges and should maintain a polite distance..
But Joel didn't buy it at all - if they stopped communicating on the surface, wouldn't they stop meeting in private? Even if we don't meet each other, doesn't the friendship still exist? Their relationship and friendship will not change because of a daily conversation in Cannes. Those attentions are meaningless..
“Tsk, we still need to carefully review whether the movie is good or not. It’s not that simple.” Joel rolled his eyes mercilessly..
Ethan stepped over Joel and said to Renly, "Excellent choice. I must admit, you have surprised me again. God knows, Hollywood is starting to get tired of you now..”
Renly laughed happily, "Is it too early? I'm still looking forward to being like Meryl. In this case, I also need to learn from Meryl and make different attempts as much as possible, all the time. Update your ideas; or, learn from Daniel to reduce the number of works..”
Ethan quickly raised his hands, "Please don't talk nonsense, otherwise the Quixotes will think we are advising you to retire, and that would be terrible.".”
“I think you can make different attempts." Joel interjected, "Your background and accumulation do not need to continue learning but need to communicate or share. Maybe you can collide with different sparks of inspiration and produce more. How possible. This should be a very interesting thing.”
oh？
Renly's eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes immediately caught the meaning in Joel's words, "For example,？”
Ethan looked at Renly's expression and knew that Renly had seen through their thoughts, "Thierry hopes we can talk to you..”
At this time, Joel also realized that he had leaked something. He scratched his head in annoyance, and his curly hair became fluffy and bouncing, looking more and more like a bird's nest. "Jesus Christ, which hell did you come out of? You can see it all." ? No wonder those reporters don’t dare to act rashly in front of you..”
Renly chuckled, but did not respond to Joel, but asked the question, "How do you feel?" As the chairman of the jury,.
Apparently, Thierry Frémaux hopes the Coen brothers can give Renly some motivation.
Ethan shrugged, "It's quite interesting..”
“At least it's more interesting than the academy." Joel added, "If you just express your preferences clearly, it may cause some disputes; but you are willing to go all out for the works you like in a roundabout way, just like the academy. It should be very fulfilling to condense it into ten people..”
Renly tilted his head, "Why is your story so unattractive? It sounds like it was a boring meeting..”
Joel didn't care and pursed his lips, "Awards are inherently boring. Discussing movies with a group of filmmakers is. From this perspective, there is indeed some gain..”
Renly nodded gently: the work of the jury was indeed not much different from what he imagined. It was more about the collision of the artistic aesthetics and creative ideas of a group of filmmakers. No wonder everyone said that in fact, the three major European film festivals are the same as the Oscars. They all shoulder the responsibility of exploring art and promoting art..
To put it simply, this year's Oscar was awarded to "Breaking Drummer" in an unusual way. Both large film companies and independent production companies are more willing to make bold attempts. In the same way, the trend of the top awards at the three major European film festivals often represents Europe's The aesthetics and preferences of the film industry.
In other words, this actually has many similarities with the situation that the Don Quixote Channel is trying to open up. But the difference is that if Renly is an ordinary actor, he only needs to concentrate on his acting work; With Renly's current status, he must get involved in those "boring meetings" because this is the key to changing the framework and process of the entire industry..
Just like Edith attending the Oscars at the beginning of the year.
“In fact, it's not all boring." Ethan ignored Joel's protest, "To be precise, if you can see your favorite works win praise, it is also very fulfilling..”
“Like a movie fan enthusiastically recommending 'Pulp Fiction' to every friend? "Renly's vivid explanation made both Coen brothers laugh..
After all, the Coen brothers didn't stay too long. They still need to avoid suspicion - otherwise other works in the exhibition will inevitably be criticized, even if there is nothing fishy in them..
Bustling, chattering, and lively discussions have never stopped, extending from the Lumiere Hall to every corner of the small town of Cannes. The impact of the work "The Lobster" has just begun. After a while, it is really difficult to Describe the reputation of this work.
Even among those who were queuing up to attend the premiere of another movie in the afternoon, the debate still could not stop. Everyone can feel that the reflection caused by the movie is spreading like a prairie fire..
“You have to admit, Ogles's idea is very interesting and has a bit of a George-Orwell feel to it..”
“Are you kidding me? Tell you, what you just said was a joke, George Orwell? you……”
“Why not? Use a dystopian story to reflect the pattern of the entire society……”
“The problem now is that he failed to reflect the social pattern, do you understand? Ideas only stop at ideas. We cannot praise his concept just because it is novel. This is incorrect..”
“No, no, no, I don’t think so. I don’t think he only has concepts. It can be seen from the role of David.……”
“Great, it's Renly-Hall again, when it can't be explained, just move out Renly-Hall, that's the panacea.”
“You are biased.”
“Yes, Renly did very well..”
“No, you're all missing the point. Renly aside, I'm talking about David. Do you understand? The character of David, his setting framework and story direction are very interesting, and can indeed reflect the social pattern..”
The argument between you and me couldn't stop at all, and the reporter who was listening secretly opened a topic of his own, "Could it be that Renly broke out again this time?"？”
“I heard it's a comedy, and Renly's performance is very special. It can't be said to be the best in his career, but it really opened up the situation beyond our expectations. After the premiere, he really received a lot of praise.”
