389 crazy about movies
At first, Andy had a real battle over the dividends of "Fast and Furious 5", and finally succeeded in opening up the situation..
If it is a commercial movie, the box office dividend distribution system is different, and Renly was not involved in it, so he cannot deeply understand the difficulty of box office dividend distribution; then Renly felt the same way about the distribution cooperation of "Crazy Love".
It can be seen from Harvey Weinstein’s attitude that many times, producers would rather pay more money than pay dividends to actors.
Firstly, it is because dividends mean that if the income is higher, actors' incomes will also be higher, which is in the interests of the producers; secondly, because box office dividends themselves are also a representative of power, which means that actors Can participate in more decisions and take away the power of the producer.
No matter what, box office dividends are hard enough, but now, Tony not only gave box office dividends, but also went a step further and gave up DVD dividends - and he did so proactively, Renly didn't even fight for it. Even though it was incredible, There are no words to describe Tony's forthrightness and directness..
Renly knew that "Transcendence" was a hit at the box office and on the DVD. Even if both parts could get a 5% dividend, his final salary wouldn't be much higher. But that wasn't the point. The point was still about Tony. Renly's sincerity and focus really showed that Tony was 100% committed to the movie..
Of course, it can be seen from this small detail. "Detachment" probably has no plans to find other cooperative companies. It may be that Tony's own production company is responsible for investment and production, so he has the right to divide this part of the benefits - belongs to his own interests.
Such idiots are almost extinct in the colorful and glamorous Hollywood..
Compared to Woody Allen, and compared to Renly himself, Tony is truly "crazy for movies", which makes people admire him..
“Do you have any other needs? "After throwing the bomb in one go, Tony actually looked at Renly intently and asked, "Still, we need to further discuss the remuneration. The remuneration may be more difficult, but the dividends……”
Seeing Tony's expression, Renly laughed dumbly, his low laughter echoing in his chest, "If you continue, you will go bankrupt." He rejected Tony's kindness in a teasing way..
Tony shrugged indifferently, "Opportunities to make money are everywhere, but opportunities for art cannot be missed..”
Renly nodded, "No one wants to miss out on creative inspiration..”
This response made Tony laugh, "By the way, I forgot to ask about your schedule." Tony finally remembered this matter, "Our crew still needs some preparation time and needs to find other actors, but... We are a small independent crew, so we are more flexible..”
After pondering for a moment, Tony said hesitantly, "Our expectation is to start filming in April, but if we miss April, we will start filming in June at the latest. Is your schedule okay? Or does it require further cooperation and adjustment from us?" The schedules of independent films are relatively flexible and are influenced by many factors. These are two completely different models from commercial films..
Renly thought about what Andy said about "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."“.
“No problem." Renly gave his answer and nodded in affirmation, "I am willing to star in this work. But, I have a question..”
Both Tony and Karl showed happy expressions, but before they had time to celebrate, they were attracted by Renly's question and stared at Renly. This made Renly smile and said, "When can I start?" script？”
“"Detached" script is not for building characters or bringing in characters, but for lines.
For expressionistic acting, lines are not the most important. Many times, without lines, the expression of emotions is still powerful, but it is undeniable that lines are a very important part of the performance. Truly outstanding For academic actors, their basic line skills can definitely stand the test..
What's more, "Transcendence" has a lot of monologues and confessions, so the meaning of the lines is even more important..
The caution between Tony's eyebrows disappeared and was replaced by real joy. He liked Renly's attitude, "Tomorrow, tomorrow will be fine. Give me your agent's business card and I will contact him to get the contract as soon as possible." Once that's done, you can start working on the script and we can start working on the other parts..”
Agent's business card.
Renly suddenly felt a sense of joy. First it was George Slender, and then Tony Kaye. Andy would probably be very confused when he received these unplanned calls. As a new actor, he really didn't Too "secure and self-reliant"”.
Tony caught the playfulness in Renly's smile and his eyes widened, "What's wrong?？”
Renly waved his hand, "It's okay." He rummaged through his wallet, but found that he didn't have the habit of carrying Andy's business card with him at all. In the end, he could only take out his mobile phone, "Otherwise, I'll just give him his phone number." Number sent to you？”
So casual, so direct, and even a little loose. Sure enough, there are more or less similarities between artists..
“No problem." Tony also took out his mobile phone and exchanged each other's phone numbers..
Later, Woody asked Renly very seriously about tonight's performance list - Renly's previous guess was correct, Woody did bring Tony and Carl here to enjoy the performance today, and then wanted to ask Stanley Ask for Renly's contact information. From the perspective of an old scholar like Woody, this is much more convenient than the Screen Actors Guild..
Renly really knew nothing. After asking Neal at the bar, he came back to explain..
Just as Renly was about to say goodbye and leave, Woody said casually, "What about you? When are you going to perform on stage?"？”
“At least not tonight." Renly replied half-jokingly..
Tony laughed and responded. But Woody didn't buy it, and still had the same cold expression, "You are a good performer, maybe you should go on stage more.”
Such praise really surprised Renly..
The famous Woody Allen can be said to have an outstanding reputation. He has always been picky, sarcastic, laughing and scolding, and never showed mercy. He has never compromised with anyone. Except for New York, the love of his life, this city There is always a special charm under his lens.
Not to mention Renly, even Tony cast his gaze in surprise. Woody was unmoved and just shrugged, "I know you are an actor, but the stage itself is also part of the performance. Maybe, You can find a time every week to perform here and experience life. In this small bar, tolerance may take you a lifetime to understand..”
Renly remembered something. Woody was a saxophone player. He would perform in a bar every Monday for thirty years without interruption..
He is a director, but not just a director. All art forms are essentially the same and reflect the souls and thoughts of creators and artists..
In the eyes of others, performing saxophone every Monday is not part of your real job, and it is a hobby that has nothing to do with directing work. But who knows? Perhaps the root cause of Woody's ability to maintain such strong creative power at such an advanced age lies in his performances every Monday..
Renly felt that the next time he had time, he should find a Monday and make a special trip to watch Woody's performance and see New York nightlife through Woody's eyes..
“I suddenly became a little curious." Tony looked at Renly with interest..
Woody's words are full of disdain and criticism of Renly. He is only twenty-one years old. Even though his acting talent is outstanding, the accumulation and polish of social experience is still not enough. Compared with the previous three works , the "detached" Henry is a character with real experience and background. He tests actors in all aspects. No matter how difficult it is to imagine, the actual situation is ten times more difficult..
However, Tony heard the affirmation hidden in it. If Woody hadn't been deeply impressed by Renly's singing, Woody wouldn't have been so insistent. This was really an interesting thing, and Tony couldn't help but feel vaguely Somewhat looking forward to it.
Renly smiled in response, "That'll have to wait until next time..”
It turned out to be a closed door. It's rare, it's really too rare. Tony secretly looked at Woody's expression, and there was a little stiffness added to the look of disdain and contempt. It was really wonderful..
Renly was very calm, not at all worried or complacent about rejecting Woody..
Every artist has his own way of creation. There is no so-called right way and no so-called wrong path. Woody has his own way, while Renly has his own rhythm. Different ways open up the same world. You will see different scenes. What suits Woody may not be suitable for him; similarly, what suits him may not be suitable for Woody. Renly has no intention of wavering because the other party is Woody Allen. principles.
What's more, compared to Tony, who is attentive to his work, Renly is already considered neglecting his job, which is really a bit embarrassing..
Of course, Renly also admitted that using music to build a bridge of ideas and establish a smooth track between himself and the work, between himself and the characters, and between himself and his co-actors is worthy of recognition. At the beginning, The song "Cleopatra" played an important role in why he was able to get the role of Eugene Sledge..
However, although Renly admired Tony very much, he had no intention of giving up his hobbies. He admired and admired him, but Renly still planned to continue exploring along his own path and find his own way of creation. He looked forward to finally be able to reach the same end point.
After saying this, Renly turned around and left..
Tony watched Renly's departure and bumped Woody hard with his shoulder. With a gloating expression on his face, Woody rolled his eyes and ignored him. Carl, who was sitting opposite, looked at the mischievous Tony. , shook his head helplessly and decided not to get involved..
