The Greatest Showman

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

While talking, the subway arrived at the station.

Renly and Andy walked out of the subway station together. This time, Andy did not continue to follow Renly, but stopped beside the road.

Renly took another two steps forward before realizing that Andy was left behind, turned around, and Andy's kind smile came into view, "So, what do you think, let me take care of your future. The movie journey is planned." After the long talk just now, after two meetings, Andy expressed his intentions clearly and accurately for the first time, "I am a top agent, and I have things that ordinary people can't touch. The resources, I have the expertise and the blueprint, give me three years and I guarantee you can be a real top star. You know what I mean by 'star'."

Confident, unhurried, and even with some humour, Andy has all the charm of an agent.

At this time, a few black people passed by. They should be on their way to work. They looked at Renly and Andy standing face to face at the exit of the subway station. A hip-hop person who seems to be keen on graffiti art looks like a lawyer and a bad boy who frequently goes in and out of juvenile detention centers. With such a normal and abnormal match, almost everyone cast their gazes involuntarily.

In particular, Andy's gesture of scolding Fang Qiu attracted a lot of attention - as if he was seeing a neuropathy.

Renly couldn't help chuckling. "Do you believe it? They must be looking for cameras around right now." In New York, there are so many situations in which movies are filmed on the streets.

Andy spread his hands and looked calm, not distracted by Renly's jokes, and waited wholeheartedly for Renly's answer.

Renly knew that Andy's words were very convincing, which not only showed Andy's business ability, negotiation ability and language organization ability, but also showed Andy's sincerity, obviously he had done his homework in advance. , which specifically researched Renly's recent movements and preferences.

From these two points alone, Andy has stood out from all the agents who have contacted him so far. Coupled with the background of the creative artist agency, Renly has no reason to reject Andy.

If it was someone else, he would probably just nod his head, but Renly wasn't someone else.

Renly knows that as people of two lives, they talk about hype in negotiation, but the actual actions are very different. Hollywood is an extremely realistic circle. If you make a profit, you will have the right to speak, and you can throw it away after you use it. The Hollywood reality reflected in movies such as "Sunset Boulevard" and "Comet Beauty" is just the tip of the iceberg.

For most people, the agent can be changed at any time. They can sign an agent first, and then get rid of the agent after one step, there is no problem at all; but Renly does not want this, because he clearly He also has a clear concept of his own goals and the selection of works, so he hopes to find a suitable partner, and then go all the way.

It can be said that he is idealistic, it can be said that he is cautious, or that he is not self-sufficient. However, Renly wanted to test it again.

"I'm a very picky person," Renly said, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose a little. "Or to be more precise, I'm a very troublesome person."

"Oh? How to say?" Andy's interest came up, and he asked with great interest.

Renly shrugged, "For example, I don't like signing packaging agreements and selling myself to Marvel in one go;" This made Andy laughed outright, "For example, I would like to challenge some outrageous people. The role is likely to break the image baggage." This is also the biggest difference between Renly and Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and others.

In Hollywood, if you want to reach the top, you must become a beautifully packaged "commodity", what can be done and what can't be done, what independent films can accept and what commercial films can't accept, this is all carefully planned.

"For example, occasionally I want to enjoy my free time." Renly held up the skateboard in his hand, and said nothing.

Things were starting to get more interesting, Andy thought.

A newcomer like Renly who has not proven himself, Hollywood throws a brick and there are countless, just a "Pacific War" can explain the problem is too limited, even if it is proved like David Hummer in "Friends" It is not easy to prove yourself and develop a career after being an actor who has experienced himself.

In other words, Renly didn't have a lot of chips, but he was still so picky. Andy came to the door twice before and after, which has shown enough sincerity. As a result, Renly was still picky. The agent has already overturned the table and left.

So, is Renly narcissistic stupid, or confident? Is it pretentious, or is it because of strength? Is it to make a name for yourself, or to be determined?

From a positive point of view, such people often know what they want, have clear goals, and are fully focused. They can go further on the road of exploration. As long as they are given the opportunity to shine, they can reach higher Limits; from the point of view of negative news, such people are either too stupid to be swallowed by the Hollywood wave in an instant, or too stubborn and rigid, too easy to break.

Which one is Renly in front of him?

Andy is also making judgments, but his expression does not show his mood at all, he just said with a smile,

"Sometimes, self-confidence is a good thing. But too much self-confidence becomes arrogance. The boundary between the two is thinner than ordinary people think."

A joke did not irritate Renly, but made him laugh too, the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed playfulness, "I thought every actor required narcissism, and even had to be a little arrogant, otherwise they would live under the spotlight every day. , accepting praise, accepting criticism, accepting cheers, accepting curses, and even seeing their own faces everywhere in life, they have already gone crazy."

Instead of refuting, he admitted it, and Andy nodded in affirmation, "So most actors are always defiant, especially those from British academies." This innuendo irony really couldn't be more sharp.

Renly bowed his chin politely, accepted the comment calmly, then raised the skateboard in his hand and pointed in the direction behind, "I'm going to be late for this morning's game. Then, see you next time, After speaking, Renly threw the skateboard on the ground, stepped on it lightly, and flew away to face the sun, the slender back was swallowed by the eyes in a blink of an eye.

Andy stayed where he was, carefully watching Renly leave.

Although he was not able to achieve his goal directly today, Andy has gained a lot, and his understanding of Renly has been further improved. To be honest, among contemporary actors, he can't find any suitable reference object. Although Edward Norton is somewhat similar, Edward's personality lacks some high-spirited uninhibited and arrogant.

This kind of Renly is more like... Marlon Brando, the arrogant, defiant, wild and wanton, and the genius of the Marlon Brando. It's just that Ma Long's publicity is extroverted and radiant, making people unable to look directly; but Renly is introverted, and only by approaching slowly can he be slowly excavated. In it, an indescribable special charm has been nurtured.

Not only was Andy not disappointed, but he became more and more curious. Is Renly a genius or a mediocre?

Many times, geniuses are always defiant, even arrogant, because they can see things that ordinary people can't see, they stand at a height that ordinary people can't reach, and they insist on the truth that will be discovered in the next few decades. , so it is doomed that they are out of tune with the surrounding society.

But there is only a thin line between genius and mediocrity. For mediocrity, the illusion of arrogance and arrogance has become the beginning of destruction. The incompatibility of strength and confidence, the inability to match vision and background, the ending is doomed from the beginning.

If they are geniuses, their strength will always be able to crush their opponents with superior skills in the end, and even rejection, jealousy, hatred, and suppression cannot annihilate their light; Under the hood, they will die faster than the average person, especially in a star-studded circle like Hollywood—

As Renly said, every Hollywood practitioner is more or less narcissistic or even arrogant, and the mutual exclusion and competition also makes this Vanity Fair more acute and bloody.

So what about Renly? Is it the condescension brought about by strength or the extreme stupidity brought about by arrogance and shortness of breath.

Originally, Andy was about to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he followed, stopping outside the skateboard, watching Renly's every move.

At this time, Renly was warming up next to him, focused, as if all the noise around him had disappeared, and the world was only left with skateboarding, and that focused expression gave people the illusion that this was the World Series - but It's just a block of skateboarding competitions.

For many people, they might sneer, "It's just a small game on the block, so what's the point of doing it?" They would find Renly's behavior ridiculous, even laughable; It's the key to success -- something that most people don't have, so it's always only a small number of people who stand on the top.

When Renly was ready to play, Andy turned and left, knowing that Renly needed some time to think, and he needed some time to figure it out. Aside from his own position, Andy is really looking forward to it, looking forward to Renly's foray in Hollywood, and looking forward to the height of Renly's ultimate challenge, whether it will be wiped out by the crowd or shine on the top of the world.

Genius or lunatic.
