The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2401

[Two thousand three hundred and sixty-four life and death power]

Seeing Andy’s helpless expression, Renly’s lazy brows gradually stretched out, “This should be the second time, right?”

Andy met Renly’s gaze in confusion.

“It’s the second time you’ve shown enthusiasm for a work other than an agent.” Renly’s voice was light and light. “The last time was ‘Star Wars’, so what’s the reason for this time?”

Andy tasted immediately. The ridicule in Renly’s words made him feel at ease – this is the familiar Renly, he put his hands on his chubby and soft beer belly and patted lightly, “If I say, then It’s because I’m dissatisfied with the current state of the film industry, and good directors like David deserve more opportunities, do you believe it?”

“Oh? What changed your mind?” Renly didn’t complain about Andy, but When asked about the situation, the subtext seemed to believe Andy’s words.

Once upon a time, Andy was also a big fan of commercial films. He loved “Star Wars” far more than George Lucas, and it was precisely because of this that when Disney acquired Lucasfilm, Andy Dee was more happy than worried, but now that has changed.

“Don Quixote Channel.” Andy rarely showed sincerity – as an agent, talking nonsense is a basic skill, and he is very good at it; but in front of Renly, Andy gradually got used to taking off his mask. His true appearance, he was able to breathe fresh air, and then reminded that his truest self had not disappeared.

“I can’t help but think, what if the ‘Star Wars’ franchise was taken over by Sisyphus Pictures? What if the Don Quixote Channel produced a set of ‘Star Wars’ episodes, like ‘ Rogue One’ story, so what will happen? Can we really peek into the space world created by George Lucas, just like interstellar exploration, wandering freely throughout the universe.”

From Andy His words can be felt that he and Renly are on the same side as what happened on the “Rogue One” crew; but before, he must be on Katherine Kennedy’s side, which is what he must be as an agent. Adhere to the rules, interests are the highest pursuit goal.

“I don’t like ‘The Social Network’ or ‘Fight Club’ and I don’t like David Fincher, but I know, David Fincher, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, George Lue Cass . . . including directors like James Cameron, they made the film possible with more dimensions.”

“Without their creativity and ideas, the fun of the big screen will gradually disappear. At the beginning, Without imagination and creativity, there would be no work like ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Jurassic Park’. I must admit that art creation requires creativity after all.”

Andy’s interpretation perspective is not new, but He has his own insights-from the standpoint of a commercial film, and even a series of film lovers, to see the overall situation of artistic creation.

It can be said that if creativity and new ideas are not respected, the Marvel series of movies will lose their souls, and in the end, only the popcorn carefully packaged by Disney will be left, and those superhero images will lose their original vitality.

This view is not necessarily completely correct, but it is indeed an interpretation.

Renly turned to look at Rooney, and said seriously, “Look, even Andy’s artistic understanding has reached such a high level, are you sure you don’t need to change?”

“Hey, I’m not interested in commercial movies. No opinion, I just have an opinion on the production model of commercial movies, they should not obliterate the personal characteristics of the actors,

otherwise, what is the difference between me and other actors? Otherwise, why did they choose me instead of other actors for the role? They need a Barbie doll, and I believe they can find more than one in Hollywood, and they don’t need me to join in the fun, do they?”

Rooney gave Renly a vicious look and fought back without showing weakness. The razor-sharp counterattack made its stand unwaveringly.

Andy was a little dumbfounded.

Renly still had a big smile on his face, “I agree with everything you said. The only opinion is that the expression and focus of commercial films and art films are inherently different, and the way of performance should also be changed. It’s like the way comedy and tragedy are performed should resonate differently with different scripts and characters. I think you should give commercial films another chance and see what happens.”

Yesterday evening, Renly and Rooney chatted about business The filming of the film, “Interstellar” and “Rogue One” all faced the interference of off-site factors, and Rooney also encountered similar problems in the process of filming “Peter Pan: Dreams Set Sail”, including Director Joe Wright was also restrained.

Rooney inevitably rejects commercial films, while Renly insists that commercial films still have more potential.

“Then we have to choose between Marvel and DC, right?” Rooney responded in a mocking way, with a playful look in her eyes, as if to say: So, what the hell are you? How will you choose?

Indeed, there are fewer and fewer options for big-screen commercial films, which is why David Fincher is in trouble, and it is also the basis of these discussions, which all become the strongest arguments in favor of Rooney.

Renly didn’t mind at all, but said seriously, “That’s why we started Sisyphus Pictures.”

“So, you mean, would you like to see David’s project?” Rooney Said smoothly.

“…” Renly laughed dumbly, “Are you sure David didn’t ask for your help?”

“Haha.” Rooney laughed happily.

Renly’s gaze turned to Andy again, and he could sense the anticipation in Andy’s eyes, “Do you think I should give David a chance?”

“You’ve given David a chance. Sisyphus Shadow Yeh and David are negotiating a collaboration on this work, but you guys have chosen the other two first, and the key now is whether you should make a plan ahead of time.” Andy slightly corrected Renly’s words, “If you nod your head, Then Andre will certainly not refuse.”

According to the plan, Sisyphus Pictures will take the lead in filming the two episodes of “Stranger Things” and “Sin Night Run”. After the filming is completed, they will collect some funds in their hands, and then invest in the shooting of the other two episodes. Look, there’s a good chance it’s Big Little Lies and Mind Hunter.

But the situation in Hollywood continues to change every day. David Fincher can’t just wait in place for a promise from Sisyphus Films. He must also need to find an exit, hoping to open up a situation for his career. .

Perhaps before Sisyphus Pictures is ready, Mind Hunter will find other partners.

According to the development context of the previous life, “Soul Hunter” should finally settle on Netflix.

In fact, the earliest project of the “Mind Hunter” project was established in 2010. David Fincher teamed up with Charlize Theron as a producer and cooperated with HBO TV to develop this series, in which Charlize will play the heroine. They even hired a screenwriter to write the pilot episode, but then the cooperation failed to move forward and was forced to shelve; a year later, HBO tried to restart and formed a creative team, but unfortunately, lacked confidence in the end, and disbanded the entire team, and the project is refrigerated.

Last year, David Fincher once again found Netflix and Sisyphus Films with the project. The former has just completed the “House of Cards” with David, which has achieved great success; Movies and art films have a unique appeal.

But the result is still not satisfactory.

Netflix is very hesitant to produce such a slow-paced series, which cannot attract more paying subscribers, which does not help their expansion plans much; Sisyphus Pictures is relatively active and actively expressed. The willingness to cooperate, but the priority level is slightly behind. The reason is also the issue of “return on profit” –

there is no way, Sisyphus Films has just been established, they need to see the benefits quickly before they can continue to operate in a virtuous circle. With no Wall Street capital as a backer, options are limited.

Business, after all, is business.

David also understands this, so he has no way to urge Netflix or Sisyphus, but to find Renly through Andy, hoping to make a breakthrough from Renly.

Even if Renly isn’t on the show as an actor, but is involved in the production as a producer, that’s enough.

Sisyphus Pictures would definitely be willing to give the green light for Renly.

If it had been before, Renly would have nodded and agreed without hesitation, and devoted himself to this work with excitement. This should be a brand new choice, even more worthy of expectation than “Booming Drummer”, UU Reading www. sonicmtl.com picks a character full of endless possibilities again after a long time.

But now, Renly seemed less interested.

Knowing that this is a work worthy of excitement, there is a calm calm inside.

He was not used to or liked himself like this.

Renly let out a soft sigh, “I don’t like the feeling of having the power to kill others.”

For many people, the goal of their lives is to stand at the top of the pyramid and become godlike. , turning your hands into clouds and covering your hands into rain, a word can decide the life and death of others, that kind of supreme power is enough to make countless people follow one after another.

But Renly didn’t like it.

Because deciding the life and death of others means taking too much responsibility.

As far as the “Mind Hunter” project is concerned, as long as Renly nods, it can solve the work needs of at least 300 people, and at the same time allow art creators like David Fincher to find hope and motivation.

But…that’s why Renly tried to create the Don Quixote Channel at the Sundance Film Festival last year: he wanted to use his influence to create more space and environment for the artistic creation of independent films, which was enough A step that affects the entire industry.

Leveraging history, then the weight is naturally no trivial matter.

“How far has David’s script writing reached? I remember that last year, it was just a project plan, and the specific script has not yet been created, right?”
