2443 solid bear hug
David Fincher undoubtedly showed the source of his passion, even more pure than the Coen brothers and Borgos Lanthimos..
“David, do you know Tony Kaye? "This was the first and only thought in Renly's mind - the David in front of him reminded him of the "detached" director Tony Kaye, who devoted himself wholeheartedly to his artistic career. The so-called success, It has never been something Tony cared about. He just hopes to use his own lens to record, present and display, and then continue to explore on an artistic level..
The same goes for David and Tony. This can be seen from the earliest debut film "Alien 3". David refused to sign the film to protest against the film company's later editing that completely destroyed his conception and creativity. This also proves that David has a stubborn persistence in his works, such as "Seven Deadly Sins", "Fight Club", "Zodiac", "The Social Network", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", etc., all David's works are no exception..
Both the Coen brothers and Ogles have made slight adjustments according to mainstream aesthetic tastes, and have always found their own position between personal style and mainstream aesthetics in their careers; while David and Tony are die-hards, stubborn to the point of extreme. stick to one's own path.
Even Renly admires artistic creators like David and Tony.
David, who was completely in a state of excitement at this time, was interrupted by Renly's thoughts, and there was an obvious pause in his words and expression..
“……？”No need to speak at all, David's expression said it all.
This made Renly smile, shook his head slightly, indicating that David didn't need to care, and returned to David's proposal just now, "Why?？”
Renly could deeply feel David's enthusiasm, but he was no longer the young actor who could dance for roles in the past. The tiredness and embarrassment from the inside out caused subtle changes in his perspective and opinions. Change, this is a change that you cannot control.
“Why did you suddenly think of inviting me to star? I mean, things have changed now and Sisyphus Films is willing to move forward with this project. You don't need to cast me to win sponsorship, you can just pick your own cast and I won't protest..”
Renly said with a smile, a little joking, but there was no emotion or excitement in his words, which was in contrast to David's enthusiasm..
However, David could understand Renly's state - all the previous conversations were from the bottom of his heart. He knew what the dilemma and tiredness meant, which made him even more excited, because this It perfectly fits the role of "Mind Hunter"; but in turn, David realizes that he must be more active and proactive in persuading Renly. This is a paradoxical dilemma..
David did not answer immediately, but pondered for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, "It was just curiosity at first. I must admit that I have no superstition about actors. I never think that one actor can change the entire work. Of course, actors are definitely The most important component of a film.”
Renly nodded with a smile - obviously, David is a pure director, and his works always have the director as the core, while actors are his tools to realize the vision of the picture. Therefore, in fact, David has never Rely on actors, but more on your own ability and scheduling.
So far, although David has worked with outstanding actors such as Morgan Freeman, Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, etc., he can really suppress it with his performance. There are no actors in David's directorial style, including Kate and Rooney.
However, David also has his own understanding of actors. He personally likes Rooney very much. She has a cold and distant temperament, but can show delicate emotions between the eyes. This is completely in line with David's director style. ——Rooney is the actor David has worked with the most.
“But later, I watched "Blast Drummer", and I did have some inspiration, and I really wanted to collaborate with you. This should be a wonderful experience. Although your image and temperament are closer to the academic, in fact, so far, You've never played a real academic before.”
“The closest screen image should be that of a college student who is 'crazy in love'.”
“Wow." Renly just sighed. He thought David didn't understand the work he was starring in, but now it seems that this idea is wrong..
David could also taste the deep meaning behind Renly's exclamation, but he didn't care, "Then it's because of Rooney. I'm looking forward to Rooney being able to star in this work, and she's obviously full of praise for you. I have to see it." What kind of actor are you, and what is the reason why Rooney praises you so much?.”
Renly smiled directly, but said nothing.
David could vaguely detect Renly's eyes, but Renly's expression and movements were impeccable, and he couldn't detect anything more just by relying on intuition, so he had to give up in the end - maybe he thought too much..
“And then today. I must admit that your thoughts, your state, and your feelings helped me find the perfect actor." David didn't say any lavish praise, but his simple and down-to-earth language made it even more tangible. To his sincerity, "I can now outline the picture, and you are the protagonist. Editing, soundtrack, composition, performance, all the details can be completely pieced together into a picture.".”
For directors, they measure their works by lenses. Those pictures are the source of inspiration. This is the basis for David to conceive the work and complete the creation. It is also the reason why David is so excited at this time.——
The burst of inspiration filled my mind with countless images, and I was eager to get into shooting immediately. That kind of desire and urgency was surging..
Even David himself did not expect that a meeting today would lead to a formal invitation. Although he had some intentions before, the decision was made so quickly, which was beyond expectations. However, David could no longer care about it. The whole person is exuding excitement.
Again, David paused briefly, then looked at Renly, "So, what do you think?？”
“Hey! Renly！”
David's voice had just fallen, and before Renly could reply, a surprise greeting came from beside him, interrupting their conversation..
Looking over, you can see a chubby, round figure, wearing a bright orange floral top and a ponytail, but the broken hair on his forehead and temples is still messy. Like willow catkins that have nowhere to be placed in early spring, they are filled with a strong flavor of life..
A big smile appeared on her disk-like face, and her uneven teeth could be clearly seen, but the happiness and joy between her eyebrows were not compromised at all, making it easy for people to ignore her facial features and appearance. Just feel a real and pure passion.
“Holy Mary, it's really you！”
The thick Italian accent hit their faces - before they knew it, Renly and David came to Little Italy in the lower city. What came into view was full of Italian style, and there were people wearing hats all over the street. Gentlemen, even old people in their twilight years, habitually wear a suit.
“My little sweetheart, you are so cute, do you understand? How can you be so cute? You look thinner! Definitely slimmer again! Just make sure you take care of yourself, okay? Eat more cheese, eat more pasta and pizza, and eat more of mom’s cooking.”
“Let me tell you, nothing makes people happier than mom's cooking. No matter how hard you work, as long as your mom cooks a dinner for you, all the fatigue will disappear. I know, I know, you must be very busy at work, if If you don’t have time, next time I will make a lasagna and red wine braised beef brisket for you! Trust me, you will be satisfied! Look, look, Little Pumpkin is really much thinner than before.”
“How about going out for a walk today? OK, very good! Very nice walk! Good health is the most important thing! I see you've been so busy with work lately, and you really need a good rest! Alas, what to do? I didn’t come out with cheese today, otherwise I would have given it to you directly so that you could make up for it.！”
“Holy Mary, you are such a cutie, aren't you?？”
From beginning to end, this middle-aged Italian woman was talking to herself passionately and eloquently. Her cheerful tongue-licking sound was like a ball rolling on the eardrums, and even the audience couldn't help but join in the joy. When he got up, the smile on his lips rose..
After she finished speaking, she gave Renly a super warm bear hug, her arms tightly confining Renly, and then harder.——
It was so hard that David began to worry that the lady might smash Renly into countless pieces..
Just when Renly was almost out of breath, the lady finally let go of her hands, patted Renly's cheek gently with her broad and warm palms, and said lovingly, "Sweetie Pie, take care of yourself!" Then, this Then he turned around and left with shaky and clumsy steps..
David, who stood nearby and witnessed the whole process, was completely stunned, with countless question marks written on his forehead.：
What the hell is going on? Why is the whole atmosphere not right? Why didn't Renly resist? Who is that lady’s true identity? What on earth just happened? What is the relationship between Renly and the Lady? What are those hugs, those pats, and those nicknames?？
It was so unexpected that David almost choked on his own saliva.
“Breathe, David, breathe! "Renly stood up straight again - the lady just hugged him. Due to the huge difference in height, he had to bend down, but even so, the lady still stood on her tiptoes, and then she could reach Renly's neck. , completed a solid bear hug.
Looking at David's frightened and violent appearance, Renly's smile couldn't help but bloom..
David finally found his breathing rhythm, but he still choked on his saliva and coughed violently..
