.mianhuatang. In the scorching summer afternoon, the long streets and short alleys of Manhattan are filled with a faint smell of water, the hunting wind is passing through the steel forest constructed by high-rise buildings, and the water vapor on the Hudson River follows the strong wind in the streets and alleys. While chasing and playing, the thin and lazy sunlight fell down, and I vaguely felt the hot summer heat restlessly on the surface of my skin, but walking under the shade of a tree, I could feel a little coolness.

It's hard to describe exactly what it feels like, but it is certain that the sweltering heat in the middle/city and upper/city has not been able to cover the lower/city.

Walking between the chaotic streets, away from the tourist-intensive areas of Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty, and then you can find a moment of comfort among those red bricks and green tiles, the busyness and anxiety of the whole city seem to slow down , In a trance, I came to a small town in Europe from New York.

Leaving the closed space created by the air conditioner in the recording studio, instead, there is a sense of relief, and the turbid air accumulated in the chest is exhaled for a long time.

New Yorkers who focus on their own world, don't look sideways, few people curiously look at the pedestrians next to them, and walk on the road gracefully, just like all living beings in this city, they will not attract special attention, no It was noted that the two gentlemen walking on the road deserved special attention.

That's one of the reasons Renly likes New York. Except for the paparazzi, no one cares about the lives of others, and even Renly can live in the crowd without anyone else.

"Don't you think you're too greedy?" David inquired curiously, but that calm tone was inevitably a little bit critical.

Renly chuckled. "I didn't know that Mr. David Finch was a judging defender."

In the face of Renly's mocking attack, David did not panic at all, "I don't judge others, but public figures themselves must be judged all the time, right?"

"Accurately speaking, everyone and everything in life is faced with judgment, but how to judge and what point of view should be judged, this is the key point to witness the concept and value of the client." Renly is still unhurried Instead, David's composure became embarrassed.

But Renly didn't attack either, instead replying, "You can interpret it as greed, I can interpret it as diversity. I don't think we can convince each other."

David shook his head, "I can't understand or accept, you are an excellent actor, maybe even the best actor of all time, but you spend time on music, it's not diversity, it's Distraction." After that, he added, "I'm not judging, just expressing an opinion."

Renly laughed cheerfully, "Best actor of all time, this title is too big, I don't want to have such a mission. I'm just an ordinary person who loves acting, and music is my way of communicating emotions and reading life. Some people can't understand it, but it doesn't mean it's meaningless. Even so, I still need to thank Mr. Finch for his concern; however, I don't think Mr. Finch came here specifically to give me career advice, right?"

Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, don't be humble or arrogant, don't be arrogant or impatient.

Renly's response really couldn't be more perfect, and David had to be convinced by his unhurried appearance - if he continued, he would be nitpicking.

However, David noticed another detail, "After the recording, you looked a lot more relaxed, so, is music really your way of expressing your emotions?"

Renly wasn't ready to answer, "I can feel your concern deeply, Mr. Finch. So, do you care about me? It was very difficult and then was in a state of confusion all the time."

David put his hands behind his back and shook his head gently, "You are avoiding problems. Does this mean that you have indeed encountered some bottlenecks."

"Ha, I thought you would say the golden man curse." Renly chuckled cheerfully.

David didn't speak, just looked at Renly carefully.

Both of them are avoiding topics, practicing Tai Chi, and still attacking each other, going around in circles to see who is the first to expose the flaw and who is the first to catch the flaw.

Obviously, Renly, who has been in poor form recently, lacks enough patience, and his uncontrollable impetuousness does make him passive.

Of course, Renly could choose to get angry, shake David's face, and cut off this meaningless confrontation in a tough way, but Renly knew David, just like himself, they all had their own persistence and their own The faults of the people may be annoying in many cases, but there is always their own persistence behind the scenes.

Renly also looked at David, hesitated for a moment, he chose the truth - this was the first in-depth conversation between Renly and David, and Renly was definitely not the type to open up casually; in retrospect, Renly couldn't help it. Guessing, maybe when he nodded and agreed to give the "mind hunter" the green light, he had already made a psychological suggestion.

"I'm tired," Renly said calmly, not complaining or anger, not even ups and downs, just quietly stating a fact.

David was a little surprised, unable to hide it.

"In the past, when I got a script and saw a character, I always had countless ideas colliding in my mind, and then I started to conceive his story. Even if I didn't like the character or had no interest, I always had a curiosity. As if... butterflies gather in

Normal belly. "

Renly smiled at David, "But now the butterfly is gone." There was some helplessness and bitterness in the smile, but more... tired.

So, Renly chose to record an album, allowing himself to briefly leave the performance environment to create a breathing space and readjust his breathing.

David pursed the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't detect much emotion in his eyes, but he withdrew his gaze, focused on his footsteps, and then a muffled voice came over, "I understand, I understand. After shooting 'Thriller Space' After that, I also went through a period where I was not interested in anything, it was like a summer afternoon, I just wanted to stay in the swimming pool in a daze, and even alcohol could not arouse my interest and attention.”

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "And then?"

"Then I went to San Francisco, stayed there for a long time, and accidentally became interested in paying attention to the Zodiac killer, and then began to collect information on him, and then, the 'Zodiac' was born. But, this process continued Five years." David described those pasts lightly.

Then the smile on the corner of his mouth rose again, "After filming 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' in 2011, I encountered the same predicament again." David's voice was a little self-deprecating, "I thought it was because the inspiration was exhausted and Or the talent has reached the ceiling, and that's how it has been all my life. Of course, this is the greatest possibility, after all, countless geniuses in history have been like this."

"You mean you think you're a genius." Renly jokingly picked out the language.

David didn't mind, "I guess I am. At least, that's what I always believed, otherwise it would be too difficult to survive in Hollywood."

Renly laughed cheerfully.

The hearty laughter echoed in the empty streets, and occasionally passers-by cast their gazes, but did not think much, just glanced at it and continued to walk.

"But then I found that I just became picky, just like a person who likes food, just started tasting food, and wants to try everything, but over time, simple food or ordinary delicious food can't satisfy the taste buds. He has to find real haute cuisine, or something back to basics, to get interested, and we all need to find that original innocence and enthusiasm."

David turned to look at Renly.

Renly continued, "It just got harder."

"It just got harder." David repeated the answer, expressing his affirmation.

Renly continued, "So you found the 'missing love.'"

"No, I found the 'Mind Hunter', just like the 'Zodiac'." David's words made Renly stunned, not because David mentioned "Mind Hunter", but because he I also think that there are many similarities between "Mind Hunter" and "Zodiac", but I didn't expect it to be true!

David didn't notice the strangeness of Renly, and was still immersed in his own world, "Can you believe it? About 'Mind Hunter' and other inspirations, even before 'House of Cards'. Over the years, I have dealt with many The project has both success and failure, but I have never been too persistent, the only exception is 'Soul Hunter', I really, really hope to promote this project, this is the key to reawakening curiosity and enthusiasm."

Without much explanation, Renly was able to find excitement and excitement in David's eyes, that pureness that was a truth that words could not describe.

Immediately, that excitement turned into anger, with bitter anger, "But Hollywood is like this, they can't see the profit of 'Zodiac', so they refuse to accept 'Mind Hunter' because this series The content and idea of ​​'too metaphysical', but also because the characters are 'without aura'. God, if they want to use the superhero set to measure all creativity, then they should join the lineup of Marvel or DC."

In the speech, David kept making quotation marks with both hands, indicating that he quoted the original words, guessing that it should be the opinion of hbo or Netflix executives.

Even David Fincher encountered such a cold reception when facing hbo and Netflix - this is already the most adventurous and risk-taking company in the industry, so it is not difficult to imagine David going to other production companies Who would dare to take such a risk?

Perhaps, only Sisyphus Films, and even a work like "The Bursting Drummer," dares to gamble, so what else is there that this new independent film company has not dared to try? More importantly, Sisyphus Pictures not only dared to try, but always succeeded.

That's why David found Sisyphus Pictures.
