861 self-defeating
Roy Lockley sat on the sofa, trying to keep his breathing steady, trying to suppress the chaos of his thoughts, but his subconscious shaking of his legs still revealed his inner panic and anxiety..
Years of experience in the industry told him that the more unexpected it is, the more chaotic it is, and the more urgent it is, the more important it is to stay calm. Only by calming down can things be solved. However, everyone knows the truth. When things come to an end, But Roy couldn't help but feel flustered, as if he was hanging in mid-air, neither up nor down, swaying violently..
The peripheral vision flickered, and Nathan Price was like an ant on a hot pot. He kept going back and forth, going around and around, crossing the lamp on the low table on his right, so the light flickered for a while. After a while, it became more and more upsetting. Roy couldn't help but closed his eyes and said in a dull voice, "Nathan, sit down. You're not helping at all by walking around like this.".”
Nathan paused and sat down on the sofa next to him, but his butt had just touched the chair cushion, and then he jumped up. After all, he couldn't stay indoors any longer, so he turned around and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window and walked over. Outside the balcony, I took out the chocolate in my pocket and tried to take in some sugar to calm myself down..
However, his hands kept shaking, and he couldn't even open the packaging of the chocolate. This made Nathan feel a deep sense of frustration. There was no way to vent his anger and frustration, and in the end he could only forcefully, severely He crushed the whole chocolate into a ball. He was angry with himself..
Turning his head, Roy looked at Andy Rogers.
Andy was leaning on the back of the sofa calmly and quietly. His slightly closed eyes seemed to have fallen into a light sleep. His relaxed mouth and stretched eyebrows looked calm and calm. However, the cross on his belly But his hands were beating the beat one after another, and the small movements also showed clues of the turbulent undercurrent..
“Andy, didn't Renly say when he would be back? "Roy finally couldn't hold it back and asked. They were sitting here, anxious and irritable, almost burning with anger, but the person involved was still nowhere to be seen, which really made it difficult to stay calm..
“No." Andy simply replied. After a moment's pause, he seemed to be aware of the anxiety caused by such calmness, so he added, "He just said that he would be back after dinner. Today is in Los Angeles. On the last day, he arranged a big meal that the two little guys would definitely like..”
Just when the whole of North America is in a frenzy, just when all the media is abuzz, just when the negative news is getting out of control, the protagonist of the incident is leisurely traveling around the mountains and rivers, unhurried, unhurried, and calm. Feng Qing’s posture really makes people dumbfounded.
Andy and Roy exchanged glances, and a hint of helplessness slipped through their eyes..
Then, Andy slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "You should listen to that phone call at noon. I didn't even have time to finish explaining the seriousness of the matter. I just mentioned the negative report from 'Entertainment Weekly', and then... Harvey Weinstein’s actions behind his back. He interrupted me. Do you know what he said?？”
Roy's eyes showed a hint of curiosity and he looked at Andy.
“He said that they were about to ride the carousel, and Annie had been waiting for twenty-five minutes for this carousel. So, he had to hang up." Andy said with a smile..
Roy was stunned for a moment and looked away in disbelief, but then Andy nodded to confirm. Roy couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing, angry and funny, and patted the sofa. Armrest, thinking about it again, laughed again. "Sure enough, it was Renly.".”
A smile appeared in Andy's eyes, "Maybe, this is a good thing.”
Throughout the awards season, the bomb that Harvey Weinstein was brewing finally detonated in the right way at the right time. At best, Renly lost all hope in this year's Oscar competition; at worst, Renly's next... His acting career will all be affected. By then, Harvey, who can only dominate Hollywood with one hand, will only need to push further, and Renly's future will be difficult..
This is what Andy has been worried about.
However, after the problem really exploded, Andy discovered that things were not as bad as he thought, at least it was not the end of the world. What Andy was really worried about was Renly's condition..
From the brilliance and excitement of the concert to the suddenness and heaviness of Heather's death, everything happened too fiercely and too quickly, leaving no time for reaction. The world has already changed..
Heather was buried on Monday. The Crosses did not inform Renly. Of course, their behavior was blameless. They did not need to inform Renly. However, they did not even send an email, showing a refusal. Thousands of miles away, he silently arranged all the funeral arrangements, completely excluding Renly..
Even Andy, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't describe the feeling in his heart..
If Anita-Tunisa hadn't secretly called Renly, "I thought you could at least say goodbye once." Renly didn't even know that the funeral would be held so soon..
In the past few days, everything has gone according to plan. Renly did not miss any of the schedule, nor did he suffer any emotional breakdown. He even completed all the tasks assigned by Andy perfectly..
However, it was precisely this kind of calmness that made Andy flustered and couldn't get rid of it..
Now, negative news about the concert and Heather has broken out again. Andy is worried about Renly's reaction..
Today, Renly took the two little ones to Disneyland as planned, from morning to night, and planned to come back after watching the fireworks, because the holiday will end tomorrow, and they will fly back to New York. Maybe, Annie and Ai Leakes company is a good thing.
Andy's words made Roy quiet down. There was a dull pain in his temples. At least at this moment, he and Andy were worried and thinking about the same thing. This is really rare for an agent. .Because when most agents face such a public relations crisis, their first thought is to stop losses, not the artists..
“You know, sometimes, you don't act like an asshole." Roy started to say.
Andy pursed his lips and responded with a smile, "Don't curse..”
While he was talking, the sound of tires screeching and the garage opening came from outside the window. Roy stood up in a flash, and then saw Nathan rushing over. The two of them walked quickly towards the door..
Andy hesitated for a moment, just stood up, but did not follow; he just looked at the other end of the hall, towards the study room and saw, "Lydia, the protagonist is back..”
After about a few seconds, a figure came out.
This is a petite woman. Even if she is wearing a pair of bright red stilettos, she still has to look up to Andy, let alone face a man of Renly's height. However, she is wearing a black suit. Professional attire, holding a "killer" bag of the same color in his hand, and his bold and powerful black afro outlines the outline of his character, which should not be underestimated.
At this time, she was still busy making phone calls, but she still walked towards the sofa in the hall neatly and quickly, "Well, I will call you immediately after the meeting... Yes, the first fifteen people on the list must be Get in touch, even if it's not in person, through agents. Believe me, as long as you mention Renly's name, they will be willing to answer the phone... Yes, I confirmed it, yes... Okay, then that's all.”
After hanging up the phone, she raised her head and looked around, "Where is the protagonist?" Although she asked the question, she did not wait for the answer. She turned to look at Andy, "Don't worry, I will make sure before midnight tonight, Renly's friends will be notified, and a statement will be issued tomorrow..”
Lydia-Brooks, professional public relations person, senior member of Slate Public Relations, the top public relations company in the industry.
She once took over the public relations work after Michael Jackson's unexpected death in 2009, which really made her name; but in fact, she has been working hard in the industry for nearly ten years and enjoys a good reputation among independent filmmakers. No., it is a pity that there has been a lack of cooperation from a top big name, otherwise he would have been able to join the ranks of the company's partners..
Renly has always needed a publicist. Professionals are professionals. After all, Andy and Roy can't overstep their authority. After this incident, Andy contacted Lydia immediately and worked hard to help Liddy. Ya can be Renly's publicist. However, as for whether to nod or not, it is still Renly's decision..
“In addition, I just contacted several inside sources. Cornell and Harvey have no direct contact. However, Harvey has said that this matter is not over yet." Lydia's footsteps stopped next to the sofa, but He didn't take the initiative to sit down. "The news I heard is that Harvey didn't suffer from Renly at Sundance last year?" Why, Renly ruined the woman Harvey liked?？”
“Renly tricked Harvey, and the distribution rights of 'Crazy Love' fell into the hands of Focus Features." Andy explained simply, and Lydia nodded in realization..
During this award season, it is even more difficult for "Crazy Love" to get ahead; what's more, he just happened to meet an "artist with the right momentum"”.
You come and go, resolutely, the communication between Lydia and Andy is extremely simple, yet extremely relaxed.
While he was talking, the door opened, and Renly's figure appeared in sight. With a relaxed smile on his face, he noticed Andy and Lydia immediately..
Lydia took the initiative to step forward and showed her professional attitude, "Lydia Brooks, public relations person.”
“Renly Hall, actor." Renly also introduced himself, shook the other person's right hand, then looked at Andy and said with a chuckle, "Has things become so lively already? Actually hired a professional public relations person？”
With relaxed words and a natural expression, Renly led Lydia into the hall in a gentlemanly manner, and then elegantly sat down on the sofa. "Does this mean that I can start writing my autobiography and then release perfume?" Renly His eyes fell on the faces of Andy, Roy and Lidya, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "I still say that I am still too anxious now.？”
