wait.

For Hollywood, this is a compulsory course, everyone is waiting, quietly waiting for a positive or negative result, quietly waiting for their own shining moment, quietly waiting for the so-called successful moment Come, some people have waited, but more people can never wait.

It's like waiting for Godot.

Renly withdrew his gaze, passed through the window of the train carriage, and looked at the scene of the Que across the street, with people coming and going, light and shadow flowing, and his smile couldn't help but rise slightly, "You know what? Sergio Lay Sergio-leone waited eleven years for 'Once Upon a Time in America'."

In 1971, Paramount invited Italian director Sergio to direct a gangster movie.

At that time, Sergio, who had occupied a place in the United States because of his directing classic works such as "Red Dead Redemption", "Red Dead Redemption", "Golden Dead Redemption" and "Once Upon a Time in the West", was well-known, and invited the film to invite Yuanyuan. Continuously, but when Paramount issued the invitation, Sergio was preparing a gangster movie of his own, and in desperation, he could only choose to refuse.

Later, Paramount found Francis Ford Coppola to take over the guide barrel; and later, the famous "Godfather" was born.

At the same time, Sergio has been polishing the script carefully. When everything is ready, the "Godfather" has become very popular, and the producer has lost confidence in similar works and refused to invest. By accident, Seljo missed the best opportunity. In desperate circumstances, Seljo came to Cannes, dressed neatly, holding a stack of 400-page scripts and waiting for investors.

This wait is eleven years; this work is "Once Upon a Time in America".

"Yes, I know. It took thirteen years to complete the film, but when it was released in the United States, Warner Bros. cut it on its own initiative, and cut the two hundred and forty-nine minutes. version, castration has become one hundred and thirty-nine minutes, and this is the infamous 'American version'. How ironic." The young man shrugged slightly, full of sighs.

After being stunned for a while, the young man reacted and laughed dumbly, "You mean, do I need to wait eleven years? It's only two years now, the time is too short, should I be more patient? Dude, It's not cool, not cool at all."

During the conversation, the young man turned his head and looked at the stranger beside him. The little humor was hidden in the conversation, which really made people's eyes shine.

But the next moment, when that familiar face came into view, the young man was so stunned, even the smile was stiff on his lips, his eyes were completely sluggish, no sound came out, no surprise, no shock, It just stagnates, and there is no expression or emotion to be found.

"Hey man, maybe you can stuff him with your work. That's an option too, isn't it?" The waiter gave his opinion with a big smile, but then nodded to Renly, "Hopefully You won't mind."

Renly nodded again and again with a smile, and shrugged lightly, "Of course, this is my honor. Although I'm not sure, which producers I know..." Renly thought about it seriously, in his mind The producer names that can be remembered are indeed limited, "but I will be more than happy to pass it on for you. If you don't mind."

As an actor, Renly's negotiation with the producer is really limited, and more often it's just a nodding acquaintance. Renly doesn't think that those familiar producers will buy it because of themselves and are willing to invest in an art film - at least for now, it should be an art film, after all, the ultimate task of the producer is to make a profit.

But at least Renly could try it out. The premise is that Renly scans each other's short clips to see if there is a possibility of recommendation. Although Renly thinks that this is not necessary, because he has recognized the person in front of him, there is also a vague guess in his mind about the project.

"..." The young man didn't speak, just nodded, nodded vigorously, kept nodding, opened his mouth wide, but didn't know what to say, that excited and excited appearance overflowed from his eyebrows, from his eyes, and from the corners of his mouth. come out.

Renly laughed dumbly and asked, "What about the short film?"

"Oh, oh oh oh." The young man nodded again and again, and continued to nod, making people strongly suspect that there was something wrong with his neck, like a bobblehead with a loose spring, he began to constantly fumble in his pockets, He rummaged through his pockets one by one, but couldn't find his work.

Renly remained patient and did not speak.

The waiter standing next to him finally couldn't bear it any longer, and asked tentatively, "Is that the USB flash drive on the bar?"

"Yes! Yes!" The young man raised his head abruptly, and then noticed the small silver USB flash drive on the table, glistening under the light, he quickly grabbed it and handed it to Renly, " This...this is my work, which won the short film award at the Sundance Film Festival in January."

"Not a grand prize, just a jury award, but..."

"'Breaking Drummer', by the way, the name of this work is 'Breaking Drummer', which means whiplash. On the one hand, it refers to the teacher's strict discipline on students, and on the other hand, it refers to the action of the drummer hitting the drum. .It doesn't mean anything /porn/erotic/. I adapted it from my high school experience, but...but that's not important information, the work is more important, the work."

"Oh yes, it's a story about a drum kit. Or

A story about music. "

"I hope it can be made into a 100-minute feature film, this is an 18-minute short film."

"If you have a budget, one million, no, 500,000 is fine, 300,000. If you are just looking for new actors, 300,000 will not be a problem."

"My only request is to create this work on my own terms. I know it's too much to ask for, but...I really think that all the images and ideas for this work are in my head and I can Done, I'm serious. Some of the composition and lighting in this short video shows what I'm thinking."

"Do you need the script? I also have the full script, the electronic version on the USB stick, and then, then I also have the print version, my briefcase, I have the briefcase with me today, hold on, give me a moment. I I'm sure I'll be able to find it soon."

"Sorry, my words were confusing. But, I mean, thank you, thank you, yes, that's what I meant to say."

Incoherent, really incoherent, the young man has been extremely nervous, constantly rubbing his eyebrows, his chin, his fingertips, his hair, it seems that every part of his body is restless, and there is no sentence in the words. Ground, completely unable to organize into a complete chapter, talking and talking, even he himself has forgotten what he is talking about.

In the end, the young man himself fell into a rut, scratching his head irritably, frowning tightly, very dissatisfied with his performance, but it was no help, he could only stare at Ren Li, at a loss, The whole person was so discouraged, his shoulders slumped, and he sat on the spot in an extremely annoyed and anguish, as if he had lost the whole world——

For this moment, for this day, he has typed countless drafts over and over again, thinking about the ins and outs in his mind over and over again, and even figured out how he should convince the other party so that the other party has no chance of rejection, and he is full of confidence Complete the whole process of self-recommendation; and consider all possibilities. But in practice it was a complete disaster.

Accident, all this is really too unexpected! Renly appeared in front of him like this, and the two were chatting like friends, as if they were just strangers who met by chance. He didn't expect it at all, and then, without warning, his opportunity appeared like this.

However, he couldn't put all the blame on the "accident", because he had already expected such a situation.

No matter who you meet tonight, it may be an accident, for everyone on Oscar night, he is a nobody, there are thousands of nobody in Los Angeles. If he wasn't desperate, he wouldn't be willing to choose such a stupid and stupid method, waiting hard at the door of Oscar night. If he changed his position, he wouldn't be willing to pay attention to such an unknown person who would only daydream, but this was his only 's choice.

Therefore, when he decided to do so, he was already mentally prepared. Prepare for the unexpected, prepare for ignoring, and even prepare for making things difficult.

Sadly, he didn't. Not at all!

"Sorry, I didn't go out with my computer today." Ren Li's voice came over, still gentle, still elegant, still calm, and even faintly heard the faint smile in the words, not sarcasm, but relaxed, everything It's not much different from the small talk just now, "I'll watch it carefully when I go back, but it's not as good as this, you can tell me this story now."

The young man raised his head abruptly and looked at Ren Li in disbelief, the shock and astonishment in his eyes flowed like this, "Really...really?"

Renly shrugged slightly, "If you're not busy tonight."

"No no, of course not!" The young man said impatiently, because he was so anxious that he almost choked on his own saliva, but he didn't have time to take care of himself, he just waved his hands again and again, trying to continue speaking again, I am afraid that I will be neglected a little bit, and I will miss the absolute opportunity like this.

Renly picked up his coffee, gestured, and let the other party calm down a little, "Take your time, after my last confirmation, tonight is still a long time, suitable for sitting down and chatting slowly. By the way,... gentlemen?"

The young man took a big sip of coffee. Although he was scalded and grinned, the light in his eyes bloomed proudly, and it seemed that the whole world began to brighten, "Damien. My name is Damien-Chazelle ( damien-chazelle).” At this time, I realized my rudeness, which was really outrageous, “Sorry, I have been forgetting to introduce myself, you can just call me Damien.”

"Renly-Hall." Renly also introduced himself with a smile, which was a start.
