"...I'm trying to show the kind of self-absorption of the critical point of artistic perfection. For outsiders, it's madness; but for the client, it's perfect." Damien finally calmed down, or rather, finally After regaining his reason, he began to talk about his creative intentions, "At certain moments, we can be integrated with art, regardless of each other, as if the whole soul lives in the melody of music and the film of film. ."

As he talked, Damien's eyes went crazy, and the image of the honest otaku just now disappeared completely. This reminds Renly of Alfonso Cuaron. Although the two have different styles, one is a music fanatic and the other is a tech addict, the madness and enthusiasm in their bones are exactly the same.

Renly suddenly realized that it was because of his constitution? The industry partners he attracts are all similar in style, Damien Chazelle, Alfonso Cuaron, Tony Kaye, the Coen brothers, all of them, all of them look like crazy, for the sake of Desperate for everything, his works burst out with a unique passion and madness.

But after thinking about it carefully, Renly found that it was more often because he acted in such a way that he attracted similar friends. He met Alfonso at the Almeida Theater and the Grammy Award. The video of the testimonials moved the Coen brothers, Pioneer Village and Woody Allen to become Tony's introductions, and now Damien, a coincidence that sneaked out halfway through Oscar night.

So, which came first, the chicken or the egg?

"Renly, what do you think?" Damien was a little apprehensive.

After all, it is Renly who is sitting in front of him. Now the hottest top actor in Hollywood, for Damien, he is completely out of reach. All the knowledge about Renly comes from rumors. Among the rumors, Lanly Li is a moody, arrogant and critical personality who is not easy to get along with.

The thoughts in Ren Li's mind slowly settled down, and a smile rolled from his eyes, "Yes, I agree." His attention never left, and he nodded in agreement, "In some moments of performance, I will also forget my own existence, but really integrate into the character, enter a wonderful state, and the performance quality presented is completely different."

This is true of "Buried Alive", "Crazy in Love", "Anti-Cancer Me", and even the "Gravity" and "Drunken Folk Ballads" that have just been completed. The feeling of confusing the boundaries between reality and fantasy is incomparable. Pain, but also very beautiful, words are really indescribable, but people are immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Renly nodded lightly, seemingly in agreement again, "To be honest, I really miss the days before my first film. You know, I need to play a character trapped in a coffin. , so I spent eight hours in the coffin and really felt it."

Slowly, Renly's mind sank into memories, and then chuckled, "It's a stupid way, but it works, it really breaks the shackles of acting skills and blends in. If you do it again, I should do it again." Then, Renly shrugged and joked to himself, "After all, what other chance is there to experience what it's like to be buried alive?"

Damien tugged at his bow tie uncomfortably and cleared his throat.

Many times, he thought he was a lunatic, but now standing in front of Renly, he could only resign himself to the downfall, just to make up the picture of lying in the coffin, he shuddered, and shuddered twice. Sure enough, the rumors that Renly is a vampire is definitely not groundless.

Damien's liver trembled a little, he was thinking, is he running away now? Or run away?

But on second thought, thinking of his own work, Damien still bites the bullet and stays where he is, there is no way, who made him also a lunatic, a lunatic who is desperate for his own work, "Renly, then What do you think? What do you think of this work? Is anyone willing to invest?"

Damien adjusted his sitting position unconsciously, and his whole body tensed up.

"No problem." Renly answered in the affirmative.

Before he could finish the next words, Damien jumped up excitedly, grabbing his hair in disbelief, "Really? Wait, really? Ah! Ahhhh! I I mean, thank you! Really? Are you serious?" After receiving confirmation from Renly's nod again, Damien couldn't hold it any longer, jumping and screaming, expressing his joy all over his body. Finally, he clenched his fists tightly and roared wildly, "Ah!"

After more than two years of waiting and torment, now the "Boom Drummer" project has finally found a breakthrough. Ecstatic, and after all the joy spurted out in an instant, he fell into an ecstatic gaffe.

After the ecstasy, he finally calmed down gradually. After the real feeling hit, he stood there and was at a loss. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes with his right hand, covering up his embarrassment and embarrassment. For a while, the mixed flavors were really indescribable. After calming down, he gave Renly a jerky smile, "I'm sorry, I mean, thank you."

The voice was slightly choked up.

Renly showed a smile and nodded lightly, "I know what that feels like." To truly empathize with Damien, not only is there no need to blame Damien, on the contrary, Renly prefers Damien like this," I haven't spoken what I just said, and now we can have a good conversation about your needs."

Damien sat down quickly, put his knees together nervously, straightened his waist, and put his hands on his knees, like a well-behaved elementary school student.

"I mean, what do you want. What production company or producer do you want me to pass the script to?" Renly expressed his thoughts seriously, which was also unprecedented for him. Once, he also crossed the river by feeling the stones, "If I'm not familiar with it, maybe I can ask for some help through Joel and Ethan."

"Cohen?" Damien asked cautiously. After seeing Renly's affirmative answer, Damien blinked and thought about it carefully. After it seemed that he had suffered too many shocks, he nodded reassuringly. clear.

Renly pursed his lips and smiled, and then said, "For the production cost, for the cast, etc., if you have any requirements, please tell me, don't ask for anything. We have to make a request first, if the other party disagrees, It's not a wise move to negotiate slowly and show the bottom line from the beginning."

Although Renly is not a professional producer, his knowledge of filmmaking is really limited; but he has enough wisdom when it comes to negotiating.

After being stunned for a while, Damien couldn't help but start rubbing his thighs quietly, the small movements revealed his nervousness at the moment, he coughed twice and cleared his throat, "Well... Didn't make an exact budget, but...I think, to make sure the shooting goes smoothly, three...three million?"

Damien gave Renly a surreptitious glance, but he was destined to be disappointed. Renly didn't change his expression, no affirmation, no objection, just stared at him quietly. However, looking at it another way, at least Renly didn't get angry or objected, which is a positive sign.

"I hope that I can participate in the post-production, and the first editing rights must be mine; and the final changes and finalization, I must participate in the discussion." Damien's thinking gradually became clear, and his words became firm. stand up.

After the filming of a movie is finished, in the post-production process, the editing right is very important. It is not the direct work of the editor, but participation in the editing ideas and concepts, which can fully reflect the director's creation. intention.

Generally speaking, the film has the rights to the first cut and the final decision. The so-called first editing right is the editing right of the first edition. The director can present his idea to the film company and convince them that this is the best appearance; and the final decision right is the literal meaning, the decision of the final version. right.

This is the case with the American version of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​that has been criticized by countless people. The original editing rights belong to Sergio, but the final version was edited beyond recognition.

For many new directors, they may not even have the first cut. In Marvel movies, the first editing rights owned by directors are incomplete. The first version must be completed according to the producer's idea, and even the creative conception stage has suffered many constraints. This is why Marvel movies can There's no harm in having an assembly line job and changing directors frequently.

Damien has repeatedly emphasized his rights of first trimming and creation, which is for the protection of his works and the maintenance of artistic creation rights.

He secretly looked at Renly once again, but there was still not much change in his expression, but Damien was encouraged, his confidence rose little by little, and the conversation became really smooth, "As for the actors, to be honest, I don't have many ideas. , after all, the funds for the work have not been found, and I have no way to start looking for actors. But..."

When his eyes fell on Renly, Damien's eyes lit up slightly, "But I think if you're willing to star in this work, it would be great. First of all, your age and image are the best. In line with the concept, you are now completely the appearance of a college student; secondly, you can also feel the madness and persistence of the character."

"More importantly, you are an excellent actor, there is no doubt about it, I don't think there is anyone who is better and more suitable than you, but I don't know if you can play drums, if you can play drums , it's perfect. You can really interpret that feeling of going insane, blending beautifully with the art."

As he spoke, Damien thought more and more rightly, and began to describe the blueprint with great excitement, but gradually, he realized that he was talking to himself completely for granted. With Renly's current status and ability, There's no need for an independent little work by an unknown director, how could he possibly afford Renly?

Damien had the urge to bite off his tongue.
