The Greatest Showman - Chapter 207

[206 Can’t laugh or cry]

When we got back to the hotel, night had fallen again. This afternoon, Renly watched two more movies, spent more than an hour by a campfire outside of town, drank two beers, and got red-faced arguing with those movie lovers…if someone wasn’t careful Knocked the barbecue sauce over his clothes, and he hasn’t planned to come back yet.

Pushing open the door of the hotel room, he hadn’t come back for two days, but he didn’t feel strange at all. Compared with the neat and cold furnishings of the hotel, he still felt that the tents and lawns outside the town were more friendly. I went to the bathroom to change my dirty clothes, took a shower and changed a set of clothes. I felt refreshed and didn’t seem to feel tired at all.

Opening the bathroom door, Renly saw Andy Rogers sitting on the sofa, “Hey.” Renly raised his hand in greeting, threw the dirty clothes in his hand into the laundry basket, and rummaged through the closet to find the right one. clothes, thinking about which movie to watch tonight.

Looking at Renly so contentedly, as if he didn’t exist at all, this made Andy feel a little helpless, so he could only take the initiative to raise the topic, “How do you feel? Telluride?”

“It’s wonderful!” He hesitated and gave a simple but affirmative evaluation. This is the film festival he dreamed of in his last life. All film lovers gather together, regardless of whether they are high or low, rich or poor, and equally knowledgeable. They just simply exchange their opinions and express their opinions. It’s all just about movies.

Telluride is a mecca for movie lovers.

Andy could taste a tinge of excitement in Renly’s words, which made him smile. “That would be great. I was a little worried, you look tired after Toronto.”

“Of course not . .” Renly picked out a dark blue sweater and a pair of light blue jeans. “Do you have any special arrangements tonight? In the past two days, the word-of-mouth of the ‘legal copy’ has fluctuated.

When he came to Telluride this time, he thought it was similar to Toronto, so he brought five suits, but only two sets of casual clothes, but the actual situation is somewhat revealed. On the streets of the town, people wearing formal clothes are really rare. many.

“I don’t have any plans tonight.” Andy still looked like a Maitreya Buddha, sitting on the sofa with a smile, his warm and bright temperament always made people feel very comfortable, “I originally wanted to invite you to dinner. The…” The next half of the sentence doesn’t need to be finished, the meaning can’t be understood any more.

Renly couldn’t help but chuckle. “You’re welcome to join me at any time to watch a movie. I heard there’s going to be a barbecue party outside town for a while, but I’m not sure if it’s dinner or supper, how? Are you interested? ?”

Andy waved his hand with a smile, “I’d better not join in the fun, it’s a young person’s occasion.” This self-deprecating joke made Renly laugh outright, “You’re not curious, why would I Suddenly appearing in your room?” Seeing that Renly had no intention of speaking, Andy could only cut into the subject himself.

“If something happens, you’ll speak up sooner or later, won’t you?” After Renly changed his clothes, he walked over barefoot on the dark carpet in the hotel room in white socks, holding the pair of gingers placed by the door in his hand. Yellow work boots, sitting down and getting ready to start putting on shoes. That frank appearance made Andy unable to refute, “By the way, I also have something to tell you, before I forget, I have decided on the next work and have already negotiated with the director. If the contract is… It will be delivered tomorrow, and you will have a look when the time comes.”

Andy only felt a tightness in his chest, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his throat, and even his smile couldn’t help but stiffen slightly, “When did it happen?” That was the only question Andy could ask.

“Morning.” Renly slipped his boots in, and then added, “Today.”

Andy only felt a cramp in his temple, and a dull pain in his forehead, “Renly, do you know what an agent’s job is? Or, do you know how capable I am?” He thought it was necessary for him to have a formal talk with Renly.

As Renly’s agent, he didn’t play his role at all. He seemed to be just a decoration. The recent release of “Buried Alive” wasn’t his job at all. The next award season could be regarded as academy PR, but It’s not time to play yet. Forget the previous “Buried Alive”, he missed the process of Renly’s selection of works, but this time it happened again, which made Andy feel very frustrated.

“My job is to select works for you, recommend works worth shooting, find people you want to collaborate with, and pave the way for you to become a top star. My connections can be spread across six major film companies, as well as all of your name. An independent film company with a name.” Andy summed it up as simply as possible, the understatement of strength and domineering makes Renly feel the confidence of a top agent.

“But now, you bypassed my job and went straight to the next project. What about me? Shouldn’t you give me full play? I’m your agent and your spokesperson, and it’s up to me Come and be responsible for the selection of your works.” Andy in front of him was a little anxious and a little aggrieved, although there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was far from his usual appearance.

Renly put on his boots and stepped on the carpet, but he stopped involuntarily and looked at Andy seriously, “Your job is to find the right project for me, right?” Andy nodded. Affirmatively, “Your job is to find projects worth investing in for me, right? Your job is to get more benefits and more room for me to develop, right?” Andy nodded again.

“So, I have now found the perfect project in my mind, and then hand over the contract negotiation to you. Isn’t this the most perfect result?” Renly’s natural expression made Andy feel that his head hurt even more.

Taking a deep breath, Andy calmed himself down, “Renly, I’m not saying that you got the right project, which itself is wrong, but that you believe in my work and my abilities. Otherwise, you Why do you want to sign an agent?”

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he understood what Andy meant.

Since the rebirth, Renly has always walked alone on the road of dreams, even Matthew Dunlop, he did not say much, not because he did not believe in others, but because of the miracle of the second life, he did not know how to explain , I don’t know how to move forward. During the groping, he has long been accustomed to holding the initiative firmly in his own hands. Coupled with the strong opposition of George and Elizabeth, before he knew it, he had become accustomed to fighting alone. .

“Phew.” Renly let out a light breath and showed a warm smile, “I’m sorry, I was too confident.”

Without any detours or hesitations, Renly admitted his own frankly like this. The mistake, Andy was stunned, the smile at the corner of his mouth fell into his eyes, and the turbulent emotions returned to the usual level again, “So, what kind of work is it? You can’t wait to follow it. ?”

From what Andy understands, before Telluride, Renly didn’t make any noise at all, but today he suddenly decided on a project. If he guessed correctly, it should be the one he met at the film festival in the past two days. Chance.

“A work that combines ‘Before Sunrise’ and ‘Blue Valentine’s Day’.” Renly tried hard to find a suitable description, and then thought about it seriously, but he couldn’t think of a more accurate word for the time being, so he nodded in affirmation , “It can be regarded as such, the name is ‘Love Crazy’.”

Andy’s eyes lit up slightly, from “Pacific War” to “Buried Alive”, it can be seen that Renly’s vision for selecting works is quite trustworthy.

“Before Sunrise” and “Blue Valentine’s Day” are both literary and artistic love movies. To sum up, this is the type of work of the awards season series; and unlike those drama movies, the promotion methods of love movies are completely different, which can be regarded as introductions. For genre films between art and commerce, the actor’s appearance advantages are brought into play, and the commercial market value of the actor is tested. In other words, it can become a bridge from artistic actor to commercial actor.

Even if Renly does not take over this work, Andy will be brewing, looking for a romantic light comedy similar to “500 Days with Summer” next year to pave the way for Renly’s actor career. Unexpectedly, Renly has already made it in one step, which is a small surprise.

However, Andy is not too ecstatic, after all, Renly is still too young, and the excellent selection of the two works is probably just luck, not enough to prove the heritage of Renly. “Where’s the script? Can I read the following ahead of time?”

“It hasn’t been delivered yet.” Renly’s indifferent expression made Andy sigh in his heart and nodded without seeing the script. “It is estimated that it will be sent with the contract later.”

“Well.” Andy pondered meaningfully, “Whose script is from? Did you talk to the director directly or the producer? Has the studio been confirmed?” A

series of questions came out like a barrage of questions, and Renly could sense Andy’s concern and urgency, and couldn’t help laughing, “I talked to the director directly, Drake- Doremus, have you heard his name?”

Renly knew that Andy was going to be disappointed. He wasn’t a famous director, he didn’t confirm the production company, and he didn’t even see the script, so he just nodded and agreed. From another angle, Renly would have found the decision too hasty and impulsive. After all, there is no way to appreciate the advantages of the reborn, right?

Now that he has said it, Renly decided to detonate the bomb in one go, “In addition, the salary this time may not be too high, because the production cost is only 250,000. And I am not the only actor. The director said that the salary may be at most only 250,000 yuan. Twenty thousand. However, the specific conditions are still up to you to discuss. He said that box office dividends are no problem.”

Andy was stunned, and he felt that he was about to have a heart attack.
