The joyful emotion lightly hit his chest, and the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from rising. In the end, he couldn't hold it back. He clenched his fist hard and waved it twice, finally venting his excitement..
It wasn't until he left the confines of Amsterdam Street that the sense of reality set in - he had actually landed the role of Paul Conroy..
When Ryan appeared, Renly knew that he was in an unfavorable situation. From any point of view, Rodrigo had no reason to reject Ryan. Then, Renly must do his best to create a reason for Rodrigo..
Renly realized that his only advantage lay in his performance and his understanding of the role. This was his only bargaining chip. As he stood at the door, he was thinking. On the one hand, he was thinking about how to win the first prize before Ryan made the decision. An opportunity for a second presentation; on the one hand, I am thinking about the role of Paul, how I should interpret it, and how I should perform it..
When Scarlett appeared, Renly was sensitive to the opportunity..
So, he simply followed the trend, and then interacted with Scarlett to find out the complete image of Paul's character and show this kind of performance. Renly was not sure whether Paul could see it, but this was his only chance. .Unfortunately, Scarlett was too smart and quickly saw through his intentions, and all attempts came to an abrupt end..
The window left for Renly was so small that Renly almost thought he was going to miss being "buried alive" before he could use all his energy..
But, he won! His first work on the big screen has finally been confirmed, "Buried Alive"”！
It took nearly seven months after the filming of "War in the Pacific" ended, and he finally got the opportunity to challenge his acting skills again, and this time he will be on the big screen. The actor has once again taken a solid step on the road to challenge. step.
It is worth mentioning that this time, he won this role in a head-to-head competition with the original actor in the previous life, which is even more commendable! Not only proved his strength, but also proved that history can be changed - although he did it once during the "Pacific War", this time it was more direct and obvious.
The trajectory of history is turning around little by little, and he is changing the future of the film industry as "Renly Hall". Perhaps, even Renly himself cannot predict what will happen in the near future. .The stimulation between the known and the unknown slowly releases adrenaline.
Of course, more importantly than the work itself, this is an opportunity to challenge yourself and your acting skills. This is likely to be a turning point on the road to your dream..
He once imagined what roles he would play and what difficulties he would encounter, but he never imagined that he would be given such a rare opportunity as "Buried Alive" in his first film. Not only was the role extremely difficult, but it was also an independent work, and it was actually a one-man show. ! This also means that he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the exploration of performance, and use his best to see what height he can reach..
Maybe, as his parents said, he really doesn't have any talent. The most indispensable thing in this world is genius, but not all geniuses can reach the top, and he is not even a genius; maybe, he does have the ability to perform. Spirituality, as David Nutt said, he can carve out his own world on the actor's stage.
But no matter what the result is, he will not regret it, and he does not want to regret it himself.
At this moment, Renly was holding the performance contract for "Buried Alive", but that thin document was as heavy as a stone, which meant that the heavyweight role of Paul Conroy was weighing on Renly. On the shoulders, the success or failure of the entire movie depends on Renly's performance. Although it is heavy, it makes people excited..
“"Buried Alive" is a completely independent film. After asking, I found out that the investor is an independent company in Spain. Before this, they had only invested in one film with a cost of less than 500,000 yuan. This time they gave "Buried Alive" a verbal budget. It’s three million, but this includes the subsequent publicity expenses – the publicity of independent films is nothing more than taking the film festival route, but whether it is the Sundance Film Festival or the Toronto Film Festival, you must pay a fee if you want to participate in the exhibition, let alone After that, the publicity cost of attending the film festival collectively.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the cost of filming "Buried Alive" is estimated to be less than 2 million..
An independent film like this naturally does not have an official process like HBO. Just look at today's audition and you will know that the Screen Actors Guild did not even send a public agent to supervise, so the signing part was not unusual. Rodrigo directly The contract is handed over to Renly, and Renly can hand it over to a lawyer or agent for review, and then sign the contract after confirming it is correct..
Now that everything is in black and white, Renly can officially join the cast of "Buried Alive".
Looking at the contract in his hand, Renly thought about it seriously and dialed Roy Lockley's phone number. The phone rang for a while but no one answered. As you can imagine, Roy was still too busy. Land, just when Renly was about to give up, the phone finally picked up, "This is Roy Lockley." He answered in the same vigorous and resolute way as before..
“Renly-Hall.”
“Renly? " Roy was a little surprised and said to the side, "Yes, that's all the documents, send the fax." Then he said into the phone again, "What, something happened.？”
“Yes, I have accepted a new work, and I already have the actor contract in hand. I need the union to help me review it." Renly did not delay, simply summing up..
Roy clamped the phone on his shoulder and wrote it down on the calendar on his desk, "No problem, you can just fax it over. What works?"？”
“An independent work, an independent film invested by a Spanish company." Renly's answer was still concise, without much explanation, but the confidence in his words was upright, without any unnecessary emotions because it was an independent film, no sarcasm, no Proud, no regrets, no excitement.
Roy couldn't help but paused and laughed. If other people heard it, they might not have any special feelings, but Roy was different. He knew that Renly rejected the audition invitation for "Thor", but now he chose a movie A little-known independent film. This is really interesting.
“How's the pay? Do you need me to help you negotiate? "Generally speaking, actors themselves will not talk about "money". This not only hurts the image, but also hurts harmony. It is still up to the agent to negotiate. Since Renly does not have an agent, Roy is willing to lend a helping hand..
Renly chuckled lightly, "No need, we have already negotiated. One hundred thousand.”
“"Buried Alive" is not a rich crew, that's for sure. However, as the male protagonist who plays the leading role, the salary is still a bit low. After all, Renly is the only actor in the entire crew. In addition, there are The voices of several actors appear on screen. In other words, the entire movie's salary budget is almost entirely on Renly. If not three hundred thousand, at least two hundred thousand..
However, after Rodrigo talked with Renly, Renly agreed to a contract with a salary of 100,000 yuan. The extra funds can be invested in the work, and within the limited budget space, he can truly create a wonderful work..
Renly understands that if he wants to make money, he should not take on an independent film like "Buried Alive" but choose a commercial film like "Thor". Even if the salary is low, he will have higher income..
Roy laughed softly. Renly's income this time was even lower than during the "Pacific War". It didn't look like he had received a movie project at all. However, Roy didn't say much, just made a joke. , "It seems that this must be a very outstanding work.”
“Of course." Renly's answer did not waver in the slightest. Roy could feel the unswerving and unwavering focus. Obviously, choosing this work was what Renly longed for in his heart, rather than settling for the next best thing when he was desperate. decision. "So, is that why you pitched the 'Thor' project to Chris Hemsworth?"？”
Renly couldn't help but froze, not understanding the meaning of Roy's words, and blurted out, "What?" He knew that if he followed the trajectory of his previous life, "Thor" would eventually fall into the hands of Chris; but why did Roy I would say he introduced him to Chris.？
It was originally just a joke, but Roy had to explain again, "There was news internally yesterday that Chris will play the role of Thor. It is estimated that the official news will be announced the day after tomorrow at the latest. Didn't you put 'Thor' 'Introduced to Chris?？”
“Why do you say this? "Renly always felt a little strange, but couldn't explain why..
Roy also heard the doubts in Renly's words, thought about it, and explained in detail, "Before this, Charlie Hunnam had basically stood out, and Kenneth Branagh was between him and Charlie. There was some hesitation between Ning and Tatum. Suddenly, Chris emerged. His understanding and success of Thor impressed Kenneth, and he finally won the role in one go..”
So far, although it was a bit strange, Renly couldn't hear anything related to him. It was no secret that Chris had a powerful agent..
“But a few days ago, a staff member from Paramount called me and gave me some insinuations. Although he didn't say it clearly, he meant that Chris had already read the script in advance, so he was very well prepared. There is no confidentiality agreement for the scripts, but the scripts they sent out are all numbered, and each script is marked. Not everyone can get the script. I heard what he meant, Chris's seems to be your script? So, I guess……”
Roy's words were cut off here, and the rest of the content is self-evident..
Renly's eyebrows frowned slightly, and all the details of that night came to mind. The last piece of the puzzle was put together completely. The strange feeling echoed in his mind, and finally turned into a sarcastic expression at the corner of his mouth, "No, I wrote the script at that time." It's on the bookshelf and I don't recommend it to anyone..”
Roy was stunned for a moment, and then said meaningfully, "Oh.”
