Looking at Andy's helpless expression, Ren Li's lazy brows gradually stretched out, "This should be the second time, right?"

Andy met Renly's gaze in confusion.

"It's the second time you've shown enthusiasm for a work other than a manager." Renly's voice was light and light. "The last time was 'Star Wars,' so what's the reason for this time?"

Andy immediately tasted the ridicule in Renly's words, but it reassured him - this is the familiar Renly, he put his hands on his chubby, soft beer belly and patted gently, " If I say it's because I'm unhappy with the state of the film industry, good directors like David deserve more opportunities, do you believe it?"

"Oh? What changed your mind?" Renly didn't complain about Andy, but asked. The subtext seemed to believe Andy's words.

Once upon a time, Andy was also a big fan of commercial films. He loved "Star Wars" far more than George Lucas, and it was precisely because of this that when Disney acquired Lucasfilm, Andy Dee was more happy than worried, but now that has changed.

"Don Quixote Channel." Andy rarely showed sincerity - as an agent, talking nonsense is a basic skill, and he is very good at it; but in front of Renly, Andy gradually got used to taking off his mask. His true appearance, he was able to breathe fresh air, and then reminded that his truest self had not disappeared.

"I can't help but think, what if the 'Star Wars' franchise was taken over by Sisyphus Pictures? What if the Don Quixote Channel produced a set of 'Star Wars' episodes, like ' The story of Rogue One', so what will happen? Can we really spy into the space world created by George Lucas, just like interstellar exploration, soaring freely throughout the universe?"

It can be felt from Andy's words that he and Renly stood on the same side as Renly for what happened on the "Rogue One" crew; but before, he must have stood on Katherine Kennedy's side, and that was his role as The rules that brokers must adhere to, and interests are the highest pursuit goals.

"I don't like 'The Social Network' or 'Fight Club' and I don't like David Fincher, but I know, David Fincher, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, George Lue Cass ... including directors like James Cameron, they made the film have more dimensions possible."

"Without their creativity and ideas, the fun of the big screen will fade away. In the beginning, there would be no 'Star Wars' or 'Jurassic Park' without imagination and creativity. I have to admit, art still needs creativity after all.”

Andy's perspective of interpretation is not new, but he has his own insights-from the standpoint of a commercial film, or even a series of film lovers, to see the overall situation of artistic creation. It can be said that if creativity and new ideas are not respected, then the Marvel series of movies will lose their souls, and in the end, only the popcorn carefully packaged by Disney will be left, and those superhero images will lose their original vitality.

This view is not necessarily completely correct, but it is indeed an interpretation.

Renly turned to look at Rooney, and said seriously, "Look, even Andy's artistic understanding has reached such a high level, are you sure you don't need to change?"

"Hey, I have no opinion on commercial films, I just have opinions on the production model of commercial films, they should not obliterate the personal characteristics of the actors, otherwise, what is the difference between me and other actors? Otherwise, why did they choose me instead of What about other actors for the role? They need a Barbie doll, and I'm sure they can find more than one in Hollywood, and they don't need me to join in the fun, do they?"

Rooney glared at Renly fiercely, and fought back without showing weakness. The sharp-worded counterattack firmly expressed her position.

Andy was a little dumbfounded.

Renly still had a big smile on his face, "I agree with everything you said. The only opinion is that the expression and focus of commercial films and art films are inherently different, and the way of performance should also be changed. It's like the way comedy and tragedy are performed should resonate differently with different scripts and characters. I think you should give commercial films another chance and see what happens."

Yesterday evening, Renly and Rooney chatted about the filming of commercial films. Both "Interstellar" and "Rogue One" faced the interference of off-site factors, while Rooney was filming "Peter Pan: Dreams Sail". In the process, he also encountered similar problems, including director Joe Wright being tied up.

Rooney is inevitably repelled by commercial films, while Renly insists that commercial films still have more potential.

"Then, we have to choose between Marvel and DC, right?" Rooney responded in a mocking way, with a playful look in her eyes, as if she was saying: So, what the hell are you doing? How will you choose?

Indeed, there are fewer and fewer options for big-screen commercial films, which is why David Fincher is in trouble, and it is also the basis of these discussions, which all become the strongest arguments in favor of Rooney.

Renly didn't mind at all, but said earnestly, "That's why we started Sisyphus Pictures."

"So, you mean, you'd like to see David's

Eyes? "Rooney said smoothly.

"..." Renly laughed dumbly. "Are you sure David didn't ask for your help?"

"Haha." Rooney laughed happily.

Renly's gaze turned to Andy again, he could sense the anticipation in Andy's eyes, "Do you think I should give David a chance?"

"You've given David a chance. Sisyphus Pictures is in talks with David about this work, but you've chosen the other two first, and now the key is whether you should plan ahead." Andy Correcting Renly's words slightly, "If you nod your head, Andre will definitely not refuse."

According to the plan, Sisyphus Pictures will take the lead in filming the two episodes of "Stranger Things" and "Sin Night Run". After the filming is completed, they will collect some funds in their hands, and then invest in the shooting of the other two episodes. Look, there's a good chance it's Big Little Lies and Mind Hunter.

But the situation in Hollywood continues to change every day. David Fincher can't just wait in place for a promise from Sisyphus Films. He must also need to find an exit, hoping to open up a situation for his career. . Maybe "Mind Hunter" will find other partners before Sisyphus Pictures is ready.

According to the development context of the previous life, "Soul Hunter" should finally settle on Netflix.

In fact, the earliest project of the "Mind Hunter" project was established in 2010. David Fincher teamed up with Charlize Theron as a producer and cooperated with hbo TV to develop this series, in which Charlize will play the heroine, They even hired a screenwriter to write the pilot episode, but then the cooperation failed to move forward and was forced to shelve; a year later, hbo tried to restart and formed a creative team, but unfortunately, they lacked confidence in the end and disbanded the entire team, and the project is refrigerated.

Last year, David Fincher once again found Netflix and Sisyphus Pictures with the project. The former has just completed the "House of Cards" with David, which has achieved great success; the latter is led by Renly. Movies and art films have a unique appeal. But the result is still not satisfactory.

Netflix was very hesitant to produce such a slow-paced series, which could not attract more paying subscribers, which did not help their expansion plans much; Sisyphus Pictures was relatively active and took the initiative to express The willingness to cooperate, but the priority level is slightly behind, and the reason is still the issue of "return on benefits"——

There is no way. Sisyphus Films has just been established. They need to see the benefits quickly before they can continue to operate in a virtuous circle. Without Wall Street capital as a backer, their choices are limited.

Business, after all, is business.

David also understands this, so he has no way to urge Netflix or Sisyphus, but to find Renly through Andy, hoping to make a breakthrough from Renly.

Even if Renly isn't on the show as an actor, but is involved in the production as a producer, that's enough. Sisyphus Pictures would definitely be willing to give the green light for Renly.

If it was before, Renly would have nodded and agreed without hesitation, and was excited to devote himself to this work. This should be a brand new selection, even more worth looking forward to than "Boom Drummer". A character full of endless possibilities.

But now, Renly seemed less interested. Knowing that this is a work worthy of excitement, there is a calm calm inside.

He was not used to or liked himself like this.

Renly exhaled softly, "I don't like the feeling of having the power to kill others."

For many people, what they pursue in their entire lives is to stand at the top of the pyramid, and then, like a god, turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain, and a single word can decide the life and death of others. One after another.

But Renly didn't like it. Because deciding the life and death of others means taking too much responsibility.

As far as the "Mind Hunter" project is concerned, as long as Renly nods, it can solve the work needs of at least 300 people, and at the same time allow art creators like David Fincher to find hope and motivation.

But...that's why Renly tried to create the Don Quixote Channel at the Sundance Film Festival last year: he wanted to use his influence to create more space and environment for the artistic creation of independent films, which was enough A step that affects the entire industry.

Leveraging history, then the weight is naturally no trivial matter.

"How far has David's script writing reached? I remember that last year, it was just a project plan, and the specific script has not yet been written, right?"
