The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Andy squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Ren Li's expression carefully, trying to guess the true thoughts of Ren Li, but obviously, this is not an easy task, those eyes hidden under the shadow of long eyelashes , which makes it impossible to spy further, which is far from Eugene Sledge's clear and translucent eyes in "The Pacific War". Andy can't help but sigh: just this detail, you can feel Renly's acting skills .

"So, haven't you heard of it?" Andy was still smiling, slightly surprised, and said proactively.

"No, I got the script yesterday." Renly chuckled twice and entered the subway entrance skillfully, but Andy was trapped outside. Obviously he hadn't taken the subway for many years, but Andy But he didn't care, and immediately went to the side to buy a subway ticket, and then came in smoothly, without showing the slightest impatience.

After entering the subway station, Andy continued the topic just now, "Since you have got the script, you should know that your name is causing a lot of waves in Hollywood now."

The endorsement of Tom Hanks, this is not a treatment that any rookie actor can get, not to mention, the frenzy caused by "Pacific War" on the Internet is also obvious to all. Paramount Pictures wants Renly to audition, This is indeed a bold and risky move, but after all, it is just an audition, and it has not actually acted. Instead, it can be seen that Paramount is smart.

"So, it's a good thing." Renly's words were bland, but the slightly upward ending revealed a series of questions, as if the curious baby was asking "100,000 whys".

Andy was taken aback.

Today, he is willing to visit Renly for the second time because he is optimistic about Renly's potential and thinks that this signing is cost-effective, and it is very likely to cultivate the next superstar - of course, it is extremely difficult, otherwise the industry Actors who can be called superstars will not be so rare.

But for Renly, he is also up for sale now, and there must be more than one agent willing to sign him. This also means that now it's Andy's turn to show his abilities. After the last time, Andy once again felt the wisdom and calmness of Renly that was different from his age. He was a little fortunate that he came to visit in person today instead of a phone call.

At this time, it was still less than half an hour before the rush hour, but there were already many people in the subway. The rumbling sound was constantly echoing in my ears, and the chaotic scene presented a completely different look from Hollywood Vanity Fair. Talking about the future plans of the two sides on such an occasion is estimated to be the first time in the whole of Hollywood.

However, Andy was not affected and considered his statement, "This is indeed a good thing. But I don't think you should take over the 'Thor' project." Andy took the lead in making his own judgment.

Renly's eyebrows rose slightly, and a playful look appeared at the corners of his mouth, "Oh?" This is really unusual. "I thought that anyone would be ecstatic when they received such an invitation to audition, even Brad Pitt?" Robert Downey Jr. successfully turned around with "Iron Man". The whole of Hollywood is there for all to see.

"But you're not Brad Pitt." Andy's succinct answer made Renly smile, "It was just a joke, and there are two real reasons for that, first, you're not a superhero type of actor. , starring in 'Thor' will affect your future development; second, you have no roots now, once you take over this role, it is very likely that you will be tied to the Marvel chariot, Paramount You don't want to be a second daniel-radcliffe or emma-watson at a top company like this."

Renly felt that things were starting to get interesting, not only because of Andy's precise positioning, but also because of the big picture that Andy's simple words showed were truly different.

"In the eyes of the agent, actors are generally divided into two types. The development path is relatively simple, or there are many possibilities." Andy's words made Renly show a big smile and responded loudly, " I thought it was making money and not making money." Andy couldn't help but smile at this response, but he always had a smile on his face, and the reaction made it hard to tell the difference.

"Choose a superhero, which can be successful quickly, and it is very likely to become popular overnight, and immediately become a first-line actor, but this road is getting narrower and narrower, and there will be fewer and fewer choices in the future, and the possibility is also Less and less." Andy continued, his sincere smile seemed to be exchanging industry secrets with Renly, even in the noisy environment of the subway, there was still a kind of convincing convincing power, "Many newcomers Actors, in order to quickly ascend, choosing superhero movies is the fastest shortcut, it is a fact. But when they make this decision, their height limit has also been determined.”

Andy's sincerity really caught Renly's eyes.

Of course, Renly knows it, and the top brokers in the industry know it, and there are countless cases like tom-cruise, johnny-depp, and now Robert Downey Jr., all of them; but why don't agents stop rookies from making such a choice? Because it is not necessary.

This is a circle of newcomers. Every day, countless newcomers are emerging, missing this tomorrow's superstar, and the next potential legend. Agents only need to focus on their short-term interests.

Suffice it to say - they're not running a long-planned charity, actors are just a means to their advantage.

Look at the speed at which Johnny Depp's salary has skyrocketed since he took the lead in "Pirates of the Caribbean". This is the iron truth, this is the undoubted success, and no one will care how bad his career development curve is after that.

The most classic case is Hayden-Christensen, who started with the "Star Wars Prequel" series and became an instant hit, but then went downhill all the way. In recent years, it has gradually become popular among people. forgotten. The same goes for the "Harry Potter" little actors Andy just exemplified.

All agents understood this, and Andy was no exception, but he took the initiative to give up this short-term plan in front of Renly. Whatever the reason, he showed his sincerity.

"So, what do you think I should do?" Renly still didn't show a clear inclination, but raised the question with a hint of inquiry.

Andy knew that this couldn't be treated casually, and said attentively, "I think you should exercise in two independent films first, preferably to win a Golden Globe nomination, and then come to seek commercial film performance opportunities. All of this can’t be rushed, two years if it’s fast, four years if it’s slow, we will select works in a planned way, give full play to your advantages, and then explore different possibilities after accumulating enough word of mouth.”

The difference between commercial actors and artistic actors, any agent knows that it is definitely not an easy task to achieve cross-border success. There is only one Tom Hanks. But all agents will try to explore different possibilities. Commercial films earn profits, thereby increasing exposure for actors and winning more performance opportunities; art films earn fame, pursue honors, and expand future development possibilities.

Unless it's actors like sean-penn and catherine-keener who are dedicated to carving out a niche in independent art films. Otherwise, most actors will find a balance between business and art, but the reality is that how to master this balance is the ultimate mystery that every actor and every agent is tirelessly searching for.

From Andy's definition of Renly, it can be seen that he believes that Renly is still an artistic actor, with solid and delicate acting skills and a spiritual sense of the camera, which are enough to make Renly show off in independent films; , The outstanding appearance and elegant bearing give Renly a certain commercial value. Maybe it can be successful, maybe not, but you can try it in the future.

"So, Brad Pitt?" Renly suddenly thought of Roy's previous joke. Hollywood now defines him as "Brad Pitt", which is really interesting, isn't it?

Andy didn't answer immediately, but thought about it seriously and gave a different answer, "Edward Norton."

This made Renly's eyes lit up, and it's an incredibly intriguing analogy, far removed from Hollywood's current view, "If I miss Thor, I won't have that many options in the future."

"But you don't care, do you?" In the face of Renly's temptation, Andy's counterattack succeeded in making both of them smile, tacitly knowing.

Renly asked again, "I never knew that commercial movies are different." In fact, in the eyes of most agents, commercial movies are the same, popcorn works, sacrifice word of mouth, and attract box office. But as an actor, Renly knew that even the same vase was different in different commercial films.

"Of course there is." Andy didn't seem flustered at all, and said in a deep voice, "'The Dark Knight' is different from 'Iron Man 2'; 'Inception' and 'Twilight' are also different."

Taking this as an example, Renly couldn't hold back and laughed outright, "I hope that our conversation just now wasn't overheard by others, otherwise this will cause chaos in the world."

The madness of "Twilight" fans is absolutely unparalleled by others. Even if the film critics ranted about the series, the fanaticism of fans still pushed the box office to new highs one after another; in addition, dc comics and Fans of Marvel Comics are also inviolable for their support for their own movies.

"So, you're a DC fan?" Renly said jokingly.

Andy raised his stubby index finger, put it on his lips, made a "shush" gesture, and then said with a forceful look, "I'm a fan of the movie."
