750 Across the ocean
“The filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" is coming to an end in the blink of an eye. Although the main shots have been shot, there are only some trivial shots that need to be reshot; but this cannot be completed in a day or two. Simply pre-shoot It is estimated that it will take at least two weeks. Because for part of it, they need to return to the streets of London to shoot.
The actual shooting of the scenes at Heathrow Airport was completed in mid-December, but the scenes in Trafalgar Square in downtown London have not yet begun. Compared with studio shooting, urban shooting is always more convenient. What a hassle. Not only do you need to block traffic and race against time, but you also need to face the harassment of tourists and pedestrians watching, which often adds more uncertainties to the shooting..
Fortunately, all the difficult scenes have been filmed, and the rest are relatively simple dramas.
When Andy Rogers arrived in London, the crew was still filming in an orderly manner at the Leavesden Photography Base. Andy did not rush to Leavesden overnight, but settled in a hotel in London, and then began to rush around busily..
Generally speaking, the awards season can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage ends at Christmas. If any work wants to compete for the awards season that year, Christmas is the deadline for screenings and public screenings. In this stage, Mainly based on nominations from major film critics associations, the seed contestants during the awards season gradually emerge..
The second stage is to use the Golden Globe Awards ceremony as a watershed. Because after the Golden Globe Awards, the Oscars will announce the nomination list; all candidates who are eager to sprint for the Oscars will appear at the Golden Globe Awards to start the early stage of the Academy’s public relations sprint. .At this stage, a few film critics associations will announce the list of winners, and it is also a period of public relations melee for the Academy..
The third stage is after the Golden Globe Awards and continues until the Oscars. Since the Oscar nomination list has been announced, those works that have not received nominations have gradually faded away, and the remaining seed contestants will focus on the showdown. The ideas and routines of the Academy's public relations have gradually become Clarity is also the most important and difficult stage.
Overall, nominations depend on strength, and winning awards depends on luck. In the first and second stages, strength is king, and works with excellent quality can stand out as long as they formulate correct public relations strategies; in the third stage, this is the real " In the "college public relations" stage, finesse is king, and the Weinstein brothers are among the best..
At this time, half of January 2012 has passed. This weekend is the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, which is the most important period of the nomination stage. Andy did not stay in Los Angeles, but traveled across the ocean to come. London. This is really abnormal, but in Andy's opinion, it is an appropriate choice..
The artists of the Creative Artist Agency are shared, but each artist will have a master manager. Andy is Renly's main manager. He is directly contacted by them for daily work. After the resources are compiled, they will come to Andy On hand; in addition to Renly, Andy oversees artists including Harrison Ford, Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Jamie Foxx and Dane DeHaan.
Not too much, but not too little either.
This year, Andy's work during the awards season is undoubtedly busy. Christine and Renly were both nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and received a lot of attention during the awards season..
With Kristen's dark horse work "Bridesmaids", some people even think that she can be nominated for an Oscar; but this is all just a lively illusion. In the contemporary Oscars, Oscar nominations based on pure comedy performances have become more and more popular. It’s getting harder and harder. Even Jim Carrey can’t do it. It’s even harder for others..
What's more, the competition in the four major departments of acting this year is really fierce - so far, there is still no absolute leader, and there is no absolute strength. It seems that everyone has a chance, and it is a melee. It is precisely this kind of melee that the academy Unexpectedly, the innate attributes of comedy are already at a disadvantage..
“This is true for "Bridesmaids", and so is "Me Fighting Cancer". In Andy's opinion, let alone an Oscar nomination, even a Golden Globe award is enough. Christine and Renly are both like this - "Crazy in love" The chance of "I'm fighting cancer" is also greater than that of "I'm fighting cancer".
After being stationed in Los Angeles and operating for most of the awards season, Andy decided to hand over the public relations work of the Academy to his colleagues at Innovative Artist Agency, and he personally came to London to take over the work here..
After arriving in London, Andy started working non-stop. After three days of busy work, he went to Leavesden and waited patiently for two hours. The crew finished the whole day's work, and then he saw the long-lost Renly. Looking at the large group of young people laughing and chatting happily, looking heartless and invincible, Andy couldn't help but burst out laughing. From Los Angeles to London, from the awards season to the filming crew, the stark gap is really interesting..
“Are they always like this? "The smiling Renly in front of him seemed strange to Andy, and he was almost unrecognizable..
He couldn't help but think of the second meeting with Renly. He wore simple sportswear and held a skateboard, specially going to participate in an amateur skateboarding competition. Renly's skills were average, but on the field, his smile bloomed wantonly. There is no gentleman's coat, no elegance and calmness, just simply enjoying the pleasure of freedom.
Maybe, this kind of Renly is not so strange after all..
Nathan and Roy sitting next to him were used to it, but they could understand Andy's surprise. Nathan couldn't help but laugh naively, "We are all used to it.".”
While talking, Renly walked over with Paul Walker and Rami Malek, "Hey, Andy." Renly nodded with a smile and said hello, then turned his head and looked at the people gesticulating. Rami, continued to get involved in their conversation.
The complacent posture did not seem to be surprised at all by Andy's appearance, nor did he intend to ask the reason for Andy's appearance. This made Andy somewhat unable to react. However, the Maitreya-like expression was still not panicked, but instead The smile became even brighter, "Renly." There was a little helplessness in his tone, "I'm not here to visit the class..”
The subtext is that he came here for business..
Paul and Lamy exchanged glances, and Lamy stopped talking, "See you at dinner later?" After receiving Renly's affirmative reply, the two walked towards the other direction while talking and laughing. Renly Turning to look at Andy, "It seems that this is an urgent matter, and we can't even wait until dinner time.".”
Seeing Andy on the set, Renly certainly knew that there must be something serious, otherwise a phone call would be enough. But obviously, it is not only business, but also urgent..
Andy was not surprised by Renly's keenness, and nodded in affirmation, "Before dinner starts, I need to rush back to London immediately. There is a play in the West End tonight, the show is at 9:30, and I have already bought the tickets..”
“oh? New drama? "Renly was not surprised at all. Instead, he became interested in drama..
This time even Nathan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help it. "Andy's point is that it's too late, not the drama.".”
Renly shrugged and asked with a smile, "Who knew that drama wasn't the point?" Nathan couldn't help but choked, blinked, and then turned to look at Andy.
“Then do you want to guess again, what kind of drama is it? What does it matter about what I'm about to say next? "Andy's words are an indirect affirmation. The business is related to drama. He is not a drama lover. If it were not for work, he would not sit in the theater for two or three hours..
Renly didn't answer and walked straight into the room, "You are the agent, not me. Or, Roy, you need to give me a hint.？”
Roy and Andy exchanged glances, both laughed dumbly, and entered the room one after another..
Andy took a brief look at the house. The decoration style was not a luxurious type, but a simple and elegant IKEA style. The furniture was based on light gray, off-white and dark blue. The visual effect was very comfortable and relaxing. There were also casually placed items on the coffee table. I picked up a few books and took a glance at them. They were not esoteric literature, but popular literature such as detectives. It can be seen that during the filming here, Renly's life was indeed comfortable..
“If the Hollywood Foreign Press Association knew that you gave up attending the Golden Globe Awards in order to vacation here, they probably wouldn't be in a good mood." Andy sat down. The linen-style sofa was softer than expected, and his words Keep joking.
Renly did not sit down immediately, but walked to the bedroom on the right, closed the door slightly, changed out of his costume, and put on a set of clean and simple sportswear. Only then did he truly relax, " I'm sure the awards night is so star-studded that they won't care if I'm missing.”
After the nominations for the 69th Golden Globe Awards were announced, Renly, George and Ryan became the center of attention. The invitation to the award ceremony was immediately sent to Renly's apartment in New York, and Ann was notified. Di. However, Andy also communicated with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association immediately and stated that Renly would miss the awards ceremony this year..
The reason is not complicated. On the one hand, Renly is filming "Edge of Tomorrow" in the UK, and it is a long-distance flight of eleven and a half hours from London to Los Angeles; on the other hand, after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, first to Berlin The film festival, then the Grammys, then the Oscars, and countless academy public relations in between. If Renly didn't want to miss these events, the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" would have to be completed as soon as possible. He really couldn't afford to delay it..
Not to mention the Golden Globe Awards, even the promotion period of "Fighting Cancer" was compressed to just three days; and before that, Renly was absent from all the first and second stages of the academy's public relations, at least he did it Treat everyone equally. This also means that if the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" cannot be ended, Renly will be absent from a series of subsequent events - after all, attending one event but refusing to attend another can accidentally offend people. Got it.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association expressed its understanding of this situation. As Renly said, the most important thing for their awards ceremony is top big names..
