375 age disadvantage
The elegant melody flows slowly like moonlight, passing through the quiet darkness. The gurgling sound is like smoke and mist. It is not abrupt and sharp at all. Instead, it has a soft and silky texture, lingering in the ink-like night. It's like the mist entwining and rolling in the green mountain forest, which is so beautiful that the mystery and tranquility of the night are tainted with a touch of artistic beauty..
That's Bach's unaccompanied cello suite.
The cell phone placed on the bedside table was echoing tirelessly, and the cello suite was playing over and over again. Renly turned over and continued to fall asleep in a daze. The classical melody that echoed in the space made him close his eyes and calm down. Quietly immerse yourself in the auditory enjoyment brought by musical notes and scores.
The melody finally stopped.
Renly drifted off to sleep again.
The winter in New York is extremely cold, and the whole world is dyed white, with a biting coldness. Just standing on the street for two minutes feels like I have fallen into the Hudson River, and the sharp wind is irritating everywhere. The pores and blood are covered with water, and it is almost frozen into ice. This kind of weather is the best time to hibernate..
“"Bang bang", there was a dull knock on the door, waking up Renly again. He closed his eyes tightly, feeling lazy all over, with no intention of saying goodbye to the warm bed..
If the visitor is a stranger, if they knock on the door for a while and get no response, they will naturally leave; if the visitor is an acquaintance, they know where the key is..
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the knocking on the door stopped, and then you could hear the sound of the key opening the door. The sound of the sliding door was even more noisy. There was a crashing sound, and a rush of cold air rushed in, sweeping the door away. The warm and viscous air in the room rushed out, and there was a crisp "pop" sound. The milky-yellow light slowly fell down. The darkness dissipated like a rolling tide. The light stretched out its tentacles and slowly occupied the entire space within sight..
Andy Rogers casually looked around the house. It was neat and clean. There was no mess or loss as expected. Everything was neatly placed in its original place, even the suitcase Renly had just dragged back from Sundance. It has been packed away, and there is no trace in sight..
Just from this scene, he knew that the room had been tidied up. He didn't know whether it was Nathan or Matthew, but what was certain was that it was definitely not done by Renly..
Stepping to the front of the partition screen, knocking on the wooden door, Andy raised his voice and said, "Renly, are you awake?"？”
Andy was answered with a period of silence. He was not in a hurry and stood quietly. After a few seconds, Renly's lazy and hoarse voice came over, "What time is it now?"？”
“Two o'clock in the afternoon." Andy replied simply, "I know today is your day off, but I only have three hours before I go to Philadelphia. There are some things that I need to discuss with you face to face..”
“……give me ten minutes.”
Andy nodded, and without further entanglement, turned and walked directly to the hall. On the table in the living room were several copies of yesterday's newspapers. After Sundance ended, the Oscar nominations were announced immediately, and all major news media were bombarded..
On the one hand, everyone is condemning the academy for being too conservative, and the performance of this year's "Generation Y" far deserves more recognition; on the other hand, everyone is looking forward to the showdown between Natalie and Annette, and many film critics are I am even more looking forward to Natalie's victory. The black spots of the double gate are one thing, but the expectations for the new generation of forces to take over the inheritance are another thing..
Of course, there is more to the Oscar nomination list than just that. All major media have begun to produce special features to analyze the gains and losses in the first half of the awards season..
For Andy, this year has been perfect enough, he really can't ask for more..
Only five months ago, Renly had just received an Emmy Award nomination for "The Pacific", and he also successfully accepted Renly's management contract; now time flies, Renly not only won the Emmy Award for Best Actor, He also won the Sundance Special Jury Award, and even successfully won his first Oscar nomination for Best Actor, as well as his unforgettable first commercial film performance..
Even the most daring, arrogant, radical and confident top managers, even the top managers of innovative artist management companies, would not dare to expect to achieve more exciting results than this..
Andy once imagined that it would be great if "Buried Alive" could receive an Oscar nomination; Andy also imagined that it would be great if "Crazy Love" could achieve a breakthrough in independent films. However, when these " After "imagination" really came true, Andy was a little frightened, because everything was so beautiful, so beautiful that there was no sense of reality at all..
Therefore, although now is the time when the college's public relations is in full swing, and every nominee is launching a final sprint for the statuette; however, you can't be too greedy..
Renly, who is only 21 years old this year, has only contributed two film works - "Buried Alive" is his big-screen debut. To enter the final stage of the Oscar, this is already an incredible victory. Especially after defeating "127 Hours" James Franco..
Now, almost all the media are hyping up the confrontation between Renly and James. The confrontation between the two people since Toronto has reached its peak in the past two days. The media is completely unafraid to continue fanning the flames. If either Renly or James endures Keep yelling, that's what's really exciting.
It is conceivable that Renly, who became famous at a young age, is already at the forefront of the limelight..
At such a moment, instead of chasing the illusory statuette - this year's most popular figure is probably Colin Firth, and it will be difficult for others to compete; it is better to retreat from the rapids, down-to-earth and re-invest in the filming of the work, and show more professional attitude.
So, after the Sundance Film Festival ended, Andy generously gave Renly a week's vacation, away from the swords and swords of Los Angeles, so that Renly could relax and unwind..
Now, for Andy, Oscar is no longer the top priority, but Renly's choice of next works is. This is really a headache..
The outstanding performance of three consecutive works has raised people's expectations for Renly to a whole new level. Next, commercial movies such as "Fast and Furious 5" will not only be a buffer zone, but also a good touchstone, but what about after that?？
Randomly pick a mediocre or even terrible work, and then overturn all the hard-earned reputations of the three works? Choosing a commercial film in a hurry to make a fortune while the momentum is booming, and then squandering the hard-earned reputation in the independent film field？
Andy knew that it would be extremely difficult to surpass the peaks of "Buried Alive" and "Crazy in Love", but at least it should remain on the same level. Andy couldn't help but think of Renly in Telluride, alone. After finalizing the "Love Crazy" thing, it can be seen that Renly has his own understanding and attitude towards the script and the characters. Perhaps, he can collect some independent film projects and let Renly choose carefully..
But here’s the problem. Whether it’s an independent work or a commercial movie, there are too few roles suitable for Renly. Because Renly is really too young.！
Since the main consumer group of Hollywood is the middle class between thirty and forty-nine years old, regardless of gender, the protagonists of mainstream film works will control their ages within this range. There are only a small number of scripts for young people, and they are also It is even more difficult to achieve outstanding quality.
Last time, Andy found the two scripts of "Bad Boss" and "Fast and Furious 5" and spent a lot of effort. This is one of the reasons why Andy nodded and agreed to Renly's starring role in "Crazy Love" 1; Now, Renly has gone a step further, which has brought great challenges to Andy's job of selecting scripts..
Renly's youth has won him rave reviews, but it has also brought more obstacles to his career. If Renly wants to gain higher achievements in the future, then Andy must be cautious and cautious..
Sure enough, nothing in the world is perfect. Everything is a double-edged sword. The key lies in how to look at it and how to use it..
To be honest, if you just choose some youth campus comedies, or a supporting role in a commercial blockbuster, or a random role in a gang comedy, this is not a difficult task. With the connections of the Creative Artists Agency, Andy can easily You can find a lot of them. But Andy doesn't want to settle, let alone be casual..
In fact, Renly's performance range is already very broad. In the two works "Buried Alive" and "Fast and Furious 5", Renly played characters around thirty years old. Not only did he have no problems at all, but he also got affirmed by the producer.
Therefore, Andy understands that what he needs is to calm down, don't be impatient, select slowly, and search slowly. Truly excellent works require more patience..
While thinking, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. After a while, Andy saw Renly wearing a simple white T-shirt and black sweatpants, walking over barefoot, with wet hair. There are drops of water dripping, and that lazy and elegant temperament has an indescribable flavor..
Renly walked to the window and opened the blinds. The thin sunlight fell on the white snow and refracted in, making the whole room instantly bright and translucent. Then he walked towards the sofa set, "You came all the way to New York. There's obviously something important.”
Renly looked around and said, "However, I didn't see you bring a script to your door, which means it's not about a new job; you didn't ask Nathan to come over, so it probably wasn't some public relations event. So, what is the important situation? , you disturbed my hibernation？”
Those words with a hint of ridicule made Andy smile. He nodded slightly and expressed his affirmation, "I came here specially to talk to you about the manager..”
“Manager? "Renly sat down and paused slightly while wiping his hair, "Then what?？”
