082 Historical turn
“Sorry, Ryan.”
Renly Hall, after careful consideration and audition conversations, Rodrigo finally decided to give the role of Paul to Renly.
Rodrigo clearly knew that this was an adventure. He gave up his first choice and gave up the social advantages that Ryan had. All of this would undoubtedly put "Buried Alive" into an embarrassing situation; but again, Rodrigo He also made his goal clear. This is a work that can become a classic. He does not want to give up the quality of the work itself for the so-called commercial promotion prospects..
Renly's performance successfully moved him, convinced him, and even brought unexpected inspiration. He had no reason to refuse..
This is a dilemma, but Rodrigo has no regrets. For independent films, quality is always the first benchmark, not star power or commercial value..
The words finally came out without much hesitation. Rodrigo originally thought it would be very difficult, but after he said them, he felt relaxed. He could clearly hear the sound of a big stone falling to the ground, which made him more determined, " Thank you very much for coming to New York in person and giving so many valuable opinions. However, the film has decided to contract another actor..”
Ryan's expression was obviously stunned, and the smile that was frozen at the corner of his mouth could hardly be maintained. He laughed twice awkwardly, "Haha, what does this mean? What does it mean to decide to sign a contract with another actor?？”
Rodrigo thought about it seriously and decided to tell the truth, "After the conversation and understanding just now, I think there is a more suitable candidate for the role of Paul Conroy.".”
Ryan's smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, but he could hardly maintain it. His face turned darker little by little, and it was no better than the bottom of the pot. Rodrigo's words were like a slap in the face, hard The ground was thrown on his face, and it was so hot that it hurt..
Rodrigo couldn't help but paused slightly, but he still explained, "It is undoubtedly a great honor for me that you can come to New York in person. It still feels a little unreal to me. But work is work. , the filming of 'Buried Alive' will encounter many challenges. The complexity and depth of the role of Paul are far beyond imagination. You are an excellent actor, no, a great actor—— Otherwise, I would not have personally extended the invitation to you. However, you are not the most suitable actor for Paul..”
Ruian felt a severe pain in his cheek. Just now, he was giving advice and putting forward his own ideas for the script and structure of "Buried Alive". He was looking forward to making great achievements in this work. But now he has come to such a result. He can only I feel as if I have been stripped naked and exposed to the public. The shame starts from the soles of my feet and burns all the way to the top of my head..
“I'm sorry." Rodrigo expressed his apology again. His sincere attitude was not only professional, but also sincere. It could be seen that he was doing it entirely out of professional considerations without any personal factors involved..
It was precisely this profession that severely humiliated him and made him unable to get angry..
He, Ryan Reynolds, has been an actor for nearly ten years. Last year, he was successful with "The Wolverine" and "Fake Marriage", but he was rejected by an independent work with an investment of less than three million US dollars? He even rushed from Los Angeles to New York in person just to express his importance, but he was still rejected? What’s even worse is that this is a situation where the other party actively extended an invitation and was rejected after the audition? for professional reasons？
Ryan gritted his teeth and still couldn't resist the urge to clench his fists. The muscles wrapped in the suit were trembling slightly. He kept the smile that was almost distorted and squeezed the words out from between his teeth one by one. , "Like you said, work is work. I can understand that.”
“To be honest, I'm still looking forward to cooperating with you, and I hope I can have the opportunity in my next work." Rodrigo said with a sincere face..
“Of course. Of course." Ryan nodded repeatedly and paused, "Wait, you just said that I am not the most suitable actor for Paul? "Ryan is already a little angry now. All his thoughts are focused on the fact that he was rejected, and he even forgot to ask who is more suitable..
Rodrigo hesitated for a moment and seemed very careful with his words, "There is no doubt about your excellence. However, after discussion, we feel that Paul should be a more blue-collar, rougher, and more uninhibited character. Obviously, , you have a superhero temperament, which is slightly different from the setting..”
Ryan knew that these were all nonsense. Obviously Rodrigo didn't want to offend him, so he naturally didn't want to tell the truth. He took a deep breath, but the boiling in his chest still couldn't calm down. He had to take another deep breath, "Haha." He smiled dryly. To cover up his anxiety and anger, "So... um..." His brain couldn't even function normally, "So, who is the actor you finally picked? Is it someone I know?？”
Roderigo was hesitant. Now that Ryan was angry and had just been rejected, the timing was obviously not appropriate; what's more, if he told Ryan that Renly was finally chosen - Renly, who had just finished the audition, he couldn't predict Ryan's anger. Will it affect the subsequent filming of "Buried Alive"?.
“Haha." Rodrigo also laughed exaggeratedly to hide his emotions, "We are just an independent film, how can we attract so many famous actors? To be honest, I still have heartburn after missing you.”
Even the words of praise could not calm Ryan down. He lost. No matter how he tried to whitewash it, he just lost.，
“Scarlett." Rodrigo caught Scarlett's figure in the corner of his sight, as if he saw the savior, and he quickly called out, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long..”
Scarlett was surrounded by several young people, talking excitedly, holding the book they had just signed in their hands. Scarlett smiled at them, and then walked over, "You guys are over. Work?" Scarlett put her hands on Ryan's shoulders, but noticed that Ryan's shoulders were frighteningly tight, but she said nothing and said calmly, "Then can we go to the exhibition now? ?" Scarlett leaned into Ryan's ear and said in a more serious tone, "Remember? We have an exhibition to see today..”
This sentence finally made Ryan regain some sense, "Of course, of course I haven't forgotten it." Ryan also stood up and hugged Scarlett's waist, "Rodrige, we had a great conversation today. I hope we can You can continue to keep in touch.”
A simple sentence, but Scarlett heard the underlying meaning - could it be said that the "burial alive" agreement was not reached? Otherwise why not keep in touch but "can" keep in touch？
The three of them exchanged polite greetings again, and then Ryan and Scarlett left the lobby of the youth hostel together. Ryan resumed his usual demeanor and even said hello to other people in the lobby, even though it was like this Always remember the fan service.
Walking into the courtyard, Ruian saw the actor whose name he didn't know just now. He had a slight smile on his face, like a spring breeze, but he didn't like it and just wanted to give that face a hard blow. punch.
”Hey, are the auditions over? "The other party took the initiative to say hello, but Ruian didn't want to respond at all. He just nodded with a smile and said nothing. The other party didn't seem to mind too much. He tilted his head slightly to express his understanding..
Suddenly, an incredible thought flashed through Ryan's mind: Could it be that the actor Rodrigo finally chose was the one in front of him?？
As soon as the idea came up, Ruian immediately rejected it, "No, no, absolutely impossible." Then Ruian burst into laughter, feeling that he was a bit overwhelmed..
How could it be this annoying guy in front of me? He looks like a vase with a head full of straw. He has nothing but the skin. He is probably just one of the millions of ordinary people here in New York who want to be actors. The reason why he stays here is Because there is little hope, we are still stalking. This is the most reasonable explanation..
Ruian twitched the corner of his mouth in relief. It seemed that the impact on him today was too great, and he started to think wildly. He needed to be quiet..
Thinking of this, Ryan felt a little pity for the unknown person in front of him. This reminded him of when his career as an actor had just started, wandering around with nothing to do, just hoping to get a chance to perform, even if it was just an audition, but the reality is often hurtful.
So, Ryan nodded towards the guy, expressing his sympathy..
Scarlett's eyes fell on Renly, and her eyes gradually became deeper. Inexplicably, she felt that this guy must have got the role. There was no reason, just a sixth sense intuition..
Scarlett felt that things were starting to get interesting. Although Ryan did not have absolute strength, he had indeed made a name for himself. He also flew from Los Angeles to New York for an interview in person, showing enough sincerity that he could hardly find a reason for failure. But... , the result was unexpected. So, what did this guy in front of me do?？
Scarlett's eyes fell deeply on the guy, and she suddenly became curious about what the finished product of "Buried Alive" would look like..
Renly stood there, smiling politely at Ryan and Scarlett, and watched them leave the youth hostel..
When the two people walked to the door, they stopped without warning and started kissing passionately. For those who knew the whole story, they must be confused. Why did they suddenly start kissing? But for those who don’t understand the situation, Ryan and Scarlett, who had just come out of the youth hostel, couldn’t help but kiss each other. Do they still need to explain?？
Sure enough, two paparazzi appeared across the street and quickly pressed the shutter button to record the moment. Renly thought of Scarlett's teasing just now, "Don't you know how to stage a photo?"？”
Looking away, Renly saw Rodrigo standing at the door of the lobby. He raised his voice and said, "Renly, can we continue the conversation we just left unfinished?"？”
“certainly.”
