064 Wonderful trajectory
The interview was over. Roy didn't stay any longer. He packed up his things and left immediately..
Looking at the "Thor" script in his hand, Renly couldn't help but smile. He could feel Roy's kindness. For a newcomer without an agent to take care of him, Roy had just given him a lot of guidance, which was very important. valuable information.
In fact, regardless of Marvel's shackles and commercial film choices, among Marvel's many comic hero series, "Thor" is the one with the worst box office performance and word-of-mouth feedback, not to mention "Iron Man", "Captain America" and other famous brands, even the later "Ant-Man" also achieved a comprehensive lead in terms of word-of-mouth, box office, return rate, etc..
2011"Thor", which was released in 2016, invested 150 million, but only received 449 million at the global box office. Not only did it not make any money, it even caused Paramount to lose nearly 20 million. ; Later in 2013, "Thor 2" benefited from the rise of Marvel, and the box office improved. The cost of 170 million was exchanged for a global box office of 640 million. However, due to the extremely high publicity expenses, Paramount only made a small profit of 30 million.
It can be said that the return rate of the "Thor" series has been unsatisfactory, and its global appeal is also very limited. If it were not for the entire Marvel universe of "The Avengers", Paramount would almost give up..
From this perspective, the appeal of "Thor" is not as great as Roy said..
However, as a newcomer, it is not a good thing to be so picky. If you miss the opportunity of "Thor", you never know when the next opportunity will come. They should try their best to seize every opportunity they get. Hollywood is not a A circle keen on doing charity.
Therefore, Renly still started working on the "Thor" script seriously. The script and the finished movie are two completely different things. The director's task is to evolve the script into pictures, while the actor's task is to derive from the text of the script. The depth of the character. In his last life, Renly had watched enough movies, but his exposure to the scripts was very limited..
For the next few hours, Renly hid backstage in the Pioneer Village, silently flipping through the script..
As in memory, the script of "Thor" is indeed lackluster, especially the characterization of Thor, which lacks the distinctive features of "Iron Man" and "Captain America". However, Loki is indeed an interesting character, as shown above The "Thor" series of the first generation still did not give Loki enough room to develop, otherwise he would have the potential to become the ultimate villain of the Marvel series..
But, this is not something Renly can decide, is it?？
Returning to his residence, he turned on the light in the hall and looked around. Chris Hemsworth still hadn't come back. His eyes fell on the "Thor" script in his hand again. Renly suddenly felt that his fate was indeed very strange - Part 1 In his first life, Chris became an instant hit with the role of Thor, the God of Thunder, and started the peak period of his career as an actor. If Renly hadn't disrupted the situation, the development curve in this life would not have changed much..
So, now Chris has also received an invitation to audition for "Thor"? Or is it that Chris has completed his audition and is waiting for the next round of notifications? If Renly decides to join Thor's competition, how will things change? He and Chris became competitors？
This is the first time that Renly stands at the current point in time and examines the future direction of his previous life so clearly and concretely. He is no longer a bystander, but a participant, a real participant. So, history How much will the development trajectory change? How many hurricanes can this little butterfly from the ancient Asian country of China create? This is really something to look forward to.
Thinking of this, Renly burst into laughter and returned to his room. He put his backpack on the desk and stuffed the script in his hand on the bookshelf next to him. He walked into the bathroom to wash away the dust of the day, even though he was already used to the early morning. It's time to get off work, but for Renly, sleeping is a very happy thing. It's good to be able to stay in bed for a longer time - even if it's just ten minutes..
Chris Hemsworth opened the door to his home. The lights in the living room showed that there was someone at home. He raised his voice and called out, "Renly? Renly?" This is New York. Although it is Manhattan, the security in the lower city is still the same. It can't be said to be peaceful. You can encounter thieves who break in every now and then..
“I'm in the bathroom." Renly shouted in reply, passing through the thin wall..
Chris felt relieved, leaned against the door, and began to read the letters in his hand - Renly was a careless guy, and the mailbox at home was full every time, but Renly still didn't remember to get the letters, so he just Can we wait for Chris to handle it?.
Pick out public letters such as water, electricity, coal, etc., and put them next to the TV cabinet; then pick out your own letters and Renly's letters, and throw away all the remaining junk advertising letters..
“When did you come back? The bedroom was still empty last night." Renly walked out of the bathroom, wiping his hair and leaning against the bedroom door, chatting and asking..
Chris raised his head and glanced, but did not stop picking the letters in his hand, "I just came back from Los Angeles this afternoon." After the "Cash" with Sean Bean was completed, he stayed in Los Angeles to work on I have been running around for my next work, but unfortunately I have gained little. "How are you doing lately? Is everything going well at work?？”
Renly shrugged, "Nothing has changed. I auditioned twice and failed both times." There is nothing to hide, tell the truth..
Chris chuckled, "This is why I refused to film a TV series." He pointed at Renly with the letter in his hand, and said confidently, "Even if the TV series is successful, it still cannot attract the attention of the film company. Note that once you are determined to become a TV drama actor, it will be difficult to turn around in the future..”
“I remember you were also from a TV series." The smile on Renly's lips slightly rose..
“Fact." Chris nodded, "Fact! "After repeating it twice, "But those are all matters in Australia. After coming to the United States, I received many invitations to TV series, but I rejected them all because I knew this clearly." In fact, these are all agents. People told him, but for Renly, who had no agent, it was his turn to impart his experience, "Listen to me, even if there is no audition invitation, never compromise, unless you are already planning to have a stable career in the TV drama industry. Come down, you are only twenty years old, you have countless choices.”
Chris showed a rare seriousness in his matter, and his sincere words seemed full of weight, "Take 'War in the Pacific' as an example. I was in Los Angeles recently and heard a lot of news. This is indeed a focus work, but all All eyes are on Hanks and Spielberg, no one will notice the actors. This is the dilemma of TV series.”
Renly smiled and did not refute, but also did not respond. He was even more curious about another detail, "You also heard the news about the 'Pacific War' in Los Angeles? How about it?"？”
“It's mainly positive, I think Hanks and Spielberg have once again done a great job." Chris is very willing to share those inside information, because this is something Renly has no way of accessing, and the words from the corner of his mouth The smile couldn't help but rise, "I recently heard that HBO is launching a promotion, hoping that 'The Pacific War' can compete for the Emmy Awards, but the demand is not high..”
“There should be no problem with technology awards." Renly expressed his opinion. After all, the investment of 223 million is there, and the hard power is worthy of recognition..
“Who knows." Chris half-said mysteriously, paused for a moment, trying to see the curiosity in Renly's eyes, but failed, which made Chris spread his hands speechlessly and shook his head dejectedly. , "You are not cooperating at all, how can this magic continue?".”
Renly laughed dumbly, then put away his smile and asked seriously, "So what rumors are there in Hollywood?" He looked like he was coaxing a child..
Chris raised his chin slightly and showed a satisfied smile, "It is rumored that HBO is not optimistic about the prospects of 'War in the Pacific' this year. Although they have to promote it because of Spielberg's face, it is estimated that it will not It would be too concentrated. Therefore, the prospects for the Emmy Awards are bleak..”
Renly slightly lowered his chin to express his understanding, but his words changed, "Chris, why do I think you are gloating?"？”
Hearing this, Chris almost choked on his saliva and coughed violently. Only then did Renly burst into laughter. Only then did Chris realize that Renly was joking, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists. , "Renly, this is not funny! I'm just caring about you!" When he was anxious, his Australian accent became slurred, and he could hardly hear it clearly. "As I said just now, you shouldn't choose TV series..”
Renly just smiled and didn't respond. He turned around and returned to the room, "I'm going to wash the clothes now. Do you have anything to wash?" Then Renly paused and turned around and said, "I mean coats and the like. , don’t throw your socks and underwear to me.”
Chris raised his hand and smashed an envelope over in response, causing Renly to laugh again..
Here, there is no washing machine in their apartment. Each floor is equipped with a washing machine and dryer. However, people who usually use it have to queue up, so it is more convenient to go to a special automatic laundromat. Renly This is how I got into the habit of doing laundry in the early hours of the morning..
Renly packed up the dirty clothes from the past few days, picked up the laundry basket, walked to the door, kicked Chris's calf, "Let, Hulk.”
Chris couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words, so he could only step aside depressedly. He waved his fists and watched Renly go out, then closed the door hard to vent his anger..
After going back and sorting all the letters, Chris walked all the way to Renly's room and put the personal letters belonging to Renly on the table. When he was about to leave, his eyes saw the script on the bookshelf..
The cover is navy blue and has only one word, "Thor", which is concise, clear and solemn..
