390 Plan changes
After turning to leave, Renly looked at the time and guessed that Andy had just landed in Boston, so he dialed the phone. After waiting for a while, Andy picked up the phone and Renly was not polite. After greetings, I directly explained the emergency situation just now..
After finishing speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone. Renly couldn't even hear Andy's breathing, as if the call was disconnected. After a while, Andy's sneering voice came over, as if he was holding his breath. After a long time, I finally found my breath again..
“Okay. I get it." Andy sorted out his thoughts, but just when he thought he had woken up, he couldn't help but laugh out loud again, which was ridiculous, funny, and a little helpless..
It can definitely be said that there is no way out, and there is always a bright future. Just when he was worried about Renly's next work, he had a pillow for his sleep. It couldn't be more perfect, but the problem was that he, as an agent, It has become a decoration again, which is really frustrating..
Finally, Andy regained his composure, began to organize his thoughts, and asked carefully about the details of "transcendence", and then he understood, "No problem, leave the rest to me, you can just concentrate on starting the script. Got it.”
Andy pondered for a moment. He had no objection to recording the album. He just regarded it as a hobby and it was harmless..
Even if Barbra-Streisand is not an all-rounder who has won all the Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards and Oscars, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Jamie- Actors such as Jamie-Foxx also played music, and Johnny even formed a band of his own.
What's more, even if he doesn't need to remind him, Renly's attention is always focused on the performance. It's like "detachment" this time.
Andy originally thought that Moriarty or "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" would be a severe test for Renly's acting skills. Unexpectedly, Renly was still challenging even more terrifying limits..
On the road of professional exploration, his speed is somewhat unable to keep up with Renly, which is also a headache. However, from another perspective, this is also a good thing..
For Renly, works like "Transcendence" are a stage for challenging one's own limits and constantly polishing acting skills; but for Andy, "Transcendence" does not lie in awards, box office, or even reputation, but in performance. Renly's professional attitude.
Especially with the continuous praise of "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love", it is easy to be "praising" the crisis. After all, Renly is only twenty-one years old, and has only released two works, so the praise is real. It's a bit too much; under such circumstances, Renly puts aside the concerns of commercial films and the utility of independent films, and devotes himself to the world of acting. It is a good thing to withdraw from the overheated spotlight for a while..
In a sense, it can be regarded as retreat in order to advance..
Andy chose a work like "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" for Renly because of this consideration. Although "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" has received too much attention and the media can easily blur the focus, at least, The cast and script of the movie itself all have artistic attributes, which makes sense from a publicity and planning perspective..
However, now there are new choices. In comparison, "detachment" will be more suitable..
What's more, the male protagonist of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is forty-three years old, while the male protagonist of "Transcendence" is around thirty years old. In terms of character compatibility, the latter obviously wins..
With Renly's age, it is really difficult to find suitable scripts and roles. A script like "Transcendence" is actually like looking for a needle in a haystack. With Andy's connections, he can naturally find scripts, but there are not a thousand similar scripts. There are also eight hundred. He needs to slowly sift through them one by one. Now, Renly has made a new discovery. Naturally, it couldn't be better..
Andy has enough trust in Renly's professionalism and trusts Renly's judgment and choices..
In addition, the work "Transcendence" has connected with two heavyweights, Tony Kaye and Woody Allen - both of them are well-known figures in the New York art world, laying a solid foundation for future connections. This is much more cost-effective than the two works "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love".
The observation perspectives of actors and agents are obviously completely different. In just a few words of conversation, Andy has entered a completely new field, a field that Renly would never think about..
“As for 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'..." Andy pondered for a moment, his brain started working quickly, and he reorganized his thoughts..
With "Detachment" as a reference, Andy's plan became clear. From this point of view, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" attracted too much attention, the role was not suitable, the competition was too fierce, and the role of the male protagonist was not important. Being inferior to the heroine is indeed a disadvantage.
However, the advantages of this movie are also very obvious. It can be compared with David Fincher, and it is a work that combines business and art. Renly's current acting reputation is enough, but the recognition is still not essential. Leap, after "Fast and Furious 5", no idea what will happen.
“I will try to see and inform you as soon as possible if there is any situation." Andy feels that from a strategic point of view, we still need to work harder, but now the focus has to be adjusted, "Specifically I will tell Nathan about your itinerary after communication. You can just concentrate on your performance research..”
“Okay." Renly agreed simply and neatly. He naturally welcomed such cooperation with both hands and feet, "By the way, I have also negotiated the salary for 'Transcendence'. Three hundred thousand, five percent of the box office. Dividend, 5% DVD dividend.”
Andy opened his mouth. He was too surprised and his attention was distracted. He almost hit the pillar. He braked at the last moment and his brain reacted..
“A work like "Transcendence" is destined to not require too much investment. Andy has been mentally prepared. The salary may be less than 100,000 US dollars, but now, not only has it far exceeded expectations, but there are actually dividends! Includes DVD dividends！
As an agent, Andy is very clear about the hidden meaning behind this set of data..
Andy was even a little curious about how Renly negotiated the deal. Just relying on this series of data, it can be seen that the crew attaches great importance to and affirms Renly; it may even be Woody Allen's appreciation of Renly. For sure! Andy knew that he could not continue to think about it, otherwise the pink dream bubbles would not stop..
Now, Andy is full of energy! Compared with those who strategize, real benefits are much more satisfying. Tony Kaye has also become cute in Andy's eyes; the strategic significance of "Transcendence" will also undergo subtle changes..
“Finally, I no longer have to lose money." Andy couldn't help but joked, showing his bright mood..
After hanging up the phone, Renly had no time to celebrate, because the pioneer village gradually became busy. He also rolled up his sleeves and once again played a guest role as a temporary waiter, dancing around the bar and getting busy..
Renly likes this kind of life. Because days like this always remind him that this is where his dreams start. He is still an actor, a down-to-earth actor, no matter what height he reaches, no matter what achievements he makes, no matter what difficulties he faces , never forget the original intention from the beginning.
In the evening, we met many old friends in the bar. At the busiest time, Renly bought a glass of tequila for all the guests to celebrate the good news that "Cleopatra" had entered the top 20 of the Billboard. , and also thank these old guys for their continued support..
When Renly woke up the next morning, the dull pain in his temple reminded him that he had drunk too much last night..
It was during his vacation, and he could have stretched himself out on his bed all day if he wanted to. What's more, it was still the worst weather in New York; but Renly planned to go to Mount Sinai Hospital today, and he didn't plan to go to Mount Sinai Hospital after the New Year. I don’t know what happened to those children in the past..
If possible, Renly would take some time off every day in the next few days, because he would have to go to Los Angeles again, and after the filming of "Transcendence" started, he didn't know how long he would be busy..
The volunteer work at Mount Sinai Hospital was something Renly wanted to continue with, and he had no intention of giving up..
So, Renly forced himself to leave the warm bed, first went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then made a glass of honey lemon water, and then he felt comfortable..
When you open the refrigerator, you can see several crisper boxes inside. One of the huge crisper boxes contains toast slices cut into triangles. The other boxes contain finished cucumber slices, tomato slices, and cheese. slices, ham slices, luncheon meat slices, and even two boxes containing fried eggs and bacon..
Neat, square, and tight, even the cucumber and tomato slices are stacked according to size and meticulously. It doesn't look like food at all, but more like a modern art creation..
Just from this orderly appearance, we can tell that this is Matthew's handiwork..
He was originally worried that without a roommate, he would probably starve to death at home. But now it seems that the gentleman living upstairs is his successor roommate, and it feels like he has returned to his old college days. Renly expressed that he was very satisfied with this roommate..
I opened the plastic box, quickly made two sandwiches, wrapped them in plastic wrap, and then left the apartment with my skateboard in hand..
New York was still the same hazy scene, and the hazy sky showed no sign of clearing up. Renly pulled up the hood of his windbreaker, threw his skateboard to the ground, and started speeding again. The ancient and vicissitudes of the streets, every day Once you walk through it, you will have the illusion of traveling through a time and space tunnel..
However, this situation did not last long. The silence was broken by the sound of the mobile phone in his pocket. Renly slowed down slightly and took out his mobile phone, "This is Renly.".”
“Hey, man. I'm standing in Times Square right now and I can't feel my toes. Can you come over and save me?？”
Renly burst out laughing. It was Paul Walker..
