The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2148

[Pick 1 from 21,120,000 miles]

Among the works of Ogus Lanthimos, whether it is “Dog Tooth” or “Alps”, including “The Lobster”, they are actually very suitable for stage plays, because Ogus is used to working within a frame. To shape a small world within, and to use this absurd world to reflect reality, this is undoubtedly very suitable for stage performances; but at the same time, this is also the reason why many audiences think that his directing ability is relatively limited – to break away from a weird and After the ridiculous script, his skill will be cut in half.

But Renly thought it was unfair.

Look at Billy Wilder, Woody Allen, Quentin Tarantino, the Coen Brothers, etc. Their video styles are all based on the script, and the script is also an integral part of the entire work part, it is not necessary to treat them separately.

The same goes for Ogus’s script.

In any case, Oggs does have a small reputation in London’s West End.

Knowing that Renly had heard Oggs’ name, Andy’s mood relaxed a little, and he patted his belly lightly, not worrying about gains and losses when discussing “Rogue One” just now, “That would be better. I don’t think you’ve worked with European directors before, and then you’re trying to build further partnerships with the three major European film festivals, so I thought, maybe this is an opportunity.”

Renly chuckled. “I’ll ignore your exclusion of the UK from the European plate for the time being. Christopher Nolan, an Englishman, is bound to be a little aggrieved, but have you forgotten Rodrigo Cortez? Me and the European director I’ve worked together, I’ve also shot a couple of productions in Europe, but…I understand what you mean, so let’s get back to the point, Ogus, do you think his scripted project is worth a look?”

Rodrigo- Cortes, the director of “Buried Alive,” Renly completed the entire filming of the film while still in Barcelona.

However, Andy’s point is that European directors are another system, and starring in the works of European directors can not only open up more possibilities in the three major European film festivals, especially Renly’s multilingual ability will undoubtedly become a good thing; And it can also open up the situation for the in-depth cooperation of Sisyphus Films——

It’s not that Don Quixote is now starting to expand into the international market, opening a French channel, Spanish channel, etc., etc. It’s too early to talk about these; it’s that the works of European independent film companies, the online broadcast rights of the US market It can be handed over to Sisyphus Films, which is also crucial for the Don Quixote channel in the early stage.

Of course, it can also lay the foundation for long-term development.

In response to Andy’s intentions, directors like Christopher Nolan, who have worked with American film companies for a long time, naturally cannot be counted; as for Rodrigo, his influence in Spanish-language films is still too small; Undoubtedly meets all Andy’s requirements.

Renly’s teasing made Andy chuckle.

“Someone’s in a good mood today.”

“I’m always in a good mood when I’m on vacation.” Renly didn’t deny it either.

“You deserve it.” Andy didn’t retort, ending the “Jurassic World” filming, and ending the “Crackling Drummer” promotion in Venice and Toronto, Renly should really take a break and then start again. Back to the topic, “But I’m not sure now if it’s time to interrupt your vacation.”

“You can talk about it first.” Renly was open to possibilities.

Andy nodded, “Actually, is it because of you that the work of Euglese can appear in sight? Do you still remember the list of works you picked at the beginning of the year? The work of Euglese is among them.”

“” Lobster’?” Renly answered immediately.

“Yes, it seems that you are also impressed by this work.” Andy couldn’t help sighing, “Do you remember there is another ‘The Dying Girl’?”

“Of course, if there is a chance, I think that The work is also very interesting.” Renly expressed his affirmation, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”, this fresh sketch is an independent work that Renly likes very much, with the typical style of Sundance, and ” There are still many differences between independent films that are more in line with mainstream aesthetics, such as Little Miss Sunshine and Juno, but the favorite audience can always find their own resonance in them.

“Actually, I seriously considered both works, but I chose ‘The Lobster’ in the end. The main reason is that Oggs is a European director. Oh, by the way, this work is in English, not Greek. Wait, or do you speak Greek too?” Andy suddenly panicked.

Renly laughed cheerfully, “I don’t know Greek, if you’re asking seriously.”

Andy let out a sigh of relief and laughed, “Who knows, you make some surprises from time to time, I also have to be prepared at all times, don’t I?” After a little joke, Andy returned to the business, “That list really helped a lot, and now it is rumored in the industry that our company has a copy own blacklist.”

“A brokerage company, or a film company?” The corners of Renly’s mouth also rose lightly.

“A brokerage company. Many brokers have sent spies to inquire about what’s going on; even many people in our company have asked about it, but this is Sisyphus’ list, and I can’t reveal it at will, it’s true. Embarrassing.” Having said that, Andy’s tone had a hint of flamboyant lightness, and Renly could imagine that within the Creative Artists Agency, Andy was flamboyant and aloof.

This is a good thing.

Andy continued, “Anyway, I’m also trying to find your next work. I was thinking about it after ‘Rogue One’ finished filming, so I missed the ‘Dying Girl’ work, summer. The filming has officially started. Originally, I was expecting you to play a high school student once. Since ‘The Anti-Cancer Me’, you have not appeared in any age-appropriate works. I am worried that fans will think that you are over thirty-five. .”

“Haha, I don’t mind.” Renly curled up on the sofa, relaxed and stretched out, picked up the coffee, and chatted in a very comfortable way, like talking with friends all night long,” said Maybe I play the role of a college student, but I will be considered to be robbing young people for job opportunities.”

“That is also a possibility.” Andy nodded earnestly in affirmation, “Actually, ‘lobster’ is also a mistake. , I personally think the script is very interesting. This is also the project you selected at the beginning, and this should be regarded as a black comedy. Although the performance does not need to give comedy elements, the performance status is indeed different. I think this should be a good attempt. But Oggs has already found an actor to play the male lead, and with your schedule, I will give up.”

“Who was the original male lead?” Renly was a little curious.

In the last life, Colin Farrell played “The Lobster”.

This is an actor who became famous at a young age. He was widely acclaimed when he first appeared on the big screen at the age of 20. The performance full of spirituality and delicateness is attached to the rough and tough appearance, and it can often burst out with strong hormones. At the age of four, he became famous in Hollywood with “Tiger Field” and “Lawless”. He was once thought to be able to accompany Brad Pitt, and the resources in the early stage of his acting career were enviable.

It is a pity that he personally ruined his bright future. He was addicted/drinking/drug-addicting/tempered. In addition to the many videos of himself applauding for love, the playboy nature is constantly challenging his girlfriend’s bottom line. The negative news overshadowed the influence of the actor’s career little by little, making people shift the focus, and the monstrousness of Hollywood Vanity Fair completely swallowed him.

So much so that people completely forget that when Colin was twenty-five years old, he appeared in two works, “Sniper Phone Booth” and “Hart’s War”, and his acting skills were highly recognized.

Even so, Colin’s career as an actor has not been completely ruined – otherwise, how can his resources be enviable enough?

In the more than ten years after that, he has always been ups and downs, ups and downs, but he can always find excellent works and excellent roles, but then he himself strangled the newly revived career, even It makes people wonder if he has a tendency to self-destruct.

Renly asked because he smelled a “but” in Andy’s words. If the original male lead had not changed, Andy would not have mentioned this work to Renly, because the film might The shooting started smoothly, then, the so-called original male lead should not be Colin Farrell.

“Jason-Clark (Jason-).” Andy gave a very unexpected answer.

For many people, Jason Clarke is a very unfamiliar name. It seems that there is no special representative work, and the name has no impression at all; but as long as you see that face, you can immediately think of it, “very familiar” , this is a typical drama celebrity is not popular.

Jason Clarke also entered Hollywood during the turn of the century. At that time, he was twenty-nine years old, and he was still young for Hollywood. He had starred in some works, and most of them were supporting roles. He has also starred in TV dramas, and his resume is very rich, but he has never been able to become popular.

He can be seen in works such as “Death Drive”, “Public Enemy”, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”, “The Great Gatsby”, “Lawless”, “Crisis” and other works, and can be regarded as Hollywood gold A part of the supporting role, but even as a supporting role has not reached the peak, more just familiar.

This year, the forty-five-year-old Jason Clarke starred in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Dawn”, a turning point in his career, earning him more starring opportunities.

In fact, this is very common in Hollywood, and the peak period of male actors often comes after the age of thirty-five and before the age of fifty.

What really surprises Renly is not the age of Jason Clarke and Colin Farrell, but the image and style of these two actors are more inclined to tough guys or middle-aged men of vicissitudes. Obviously, this is not Renly. image positioning.

So how did Andy choose this work out of thousands of invitations?
