Oscar, in the film field of contemporary society, this is the highest award for the combination of business and art. In North America, it ranks with the Emmys, Grammys, and Tony Awards as the four most authoritative awards in the entertainment industry; in the world, it ranks with the Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, and Cannes Film Festival as one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry. highest honor.

People can dislike it or even despise it. But there is no doubt that the influence and authority of the Oscars are the top of the top. For every film practitioner, this is the ultimate dream. Perhaps European art creators are an exception.

Topping the Oscars is the pinnacle of any filmmaker's career, especially actors, directors, and screenwriters; so what happens after the top? It's like after climbing Mount Everest, you can see all the mountains and small ones. What should you do next? How can we surpass the achievements of the Oscars? How can we stay on top of the peak?

Standing on the top, this also means that the space on the uphill road is very limited, and if you are not careful, it will be a downhill road. Being at the bottom of the valley and reaching the top are actually the same. The former is that there is no way to retreat, and the latter is to face barriers. They both need to break down and stand back, but the actual operation is by no means easy.

In real life, after the peak of the Oscars, actors tend to fall into a long-term slump, especially actresses, who are jokingly called "three years after winning the award", which is also known as the curse of the golden man.

1972, liza-minnelli in "Karaoke"; 1975, louise-flether in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"; 195, "Journey to Bountiful" geraldine-page, who almost disappeared after harvesting the golden statuettes.

As for the actors who fell into a career crisis after being captured, there are many actors, such as Cher (cher) of "Moonlight" and Jessia-lange (Jessia-lange) of "Indulgence of the Heart". , Susan-Saradon in "Death Walk", Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shakespeare in Love", Halle Berry in "Dancing on Death Row"...

Such a list can also be long and endlessly listed. Seriously discussing the reasons is actually not complicated. After the peak of the career brought by the Oscars, the actor's worth has risen, and the remuneration may triple or even more; Demonstrate strength or ability "matching the little golden man".

The problem is that the Oscars only recognize the performance of an actor in a particular movie, not the entire acting career, nor the actor personally. There are countless number of winners and actresses for one term; one nomination is even more numerous. For veteran actors like Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, and Daniel Day-Lewis, it takes time to accumulate .

Therefore, when a new movie is released, the distribution company and the publicity department can mark the title of "Xinke Actor / Actress" to attract attention, but this does not mean box office appeal.

For the new Oscar winners, they have increased the opportunities for works and challenges; but in essence, it is difficult for the strength to undergo earth-shaking changes, and the brilliance has not been truly improved.

Once the completion of the work fails to meet expectations, or the box office fails, it is easy to fall into the fault between the superficial scenery and the actual status, and then gradually disappear from the audience's sight.

Generally speaking, the years before winning the award are the golden period for actors, because the quality of the work is mainly pursued at that time, and the remuneration is reasonable, and there are more opportunities; after winning the award, either to make money, it began to appear frequently in popcorn. In the film, but the quality can not keep up, or stick to the field of art film, struggling to find a breakthrough, but it is getting more and more difficult.

In the final analysis, after the career reaches its peak, mental adjustment and self-positioning are crucial. If you are fascinated by the brilliance of the golden man and lose the accurate judgment of your own position, then, in the Hollywood where interests are the first, the additional effect of the golden man can easily get out of control, and eventually lead to a steady decline.

The so-called little golden man spell is not a kind of Vanity Fair spell.

For actors, after winning the Oscar, the choice of the next work must be cautious and cautious.

On the one hand, it needs to be different from the image of the winning works, and it is best to make a little challenge; on the other hand, the challenge should not be too outrageous, and subversive attempts often lead to an avalanche of failure.

On the one hand, you need to get out of your own safe and comfortable area, such as art film actors trying some commercial possibilities. If you have tried it before, you can go further now; on the other hand, it should not be too radical, Tom Cruise , Why Will Smith never get an Oscar is because their commercial attributes are too distinct.

In short: hard.

Everyone sees the beauty of winning an award, including actors and agents; but the planning and consideration after winning the award has become more difficult. After all, the career is not over yet.

At the beginning of the year, after becoming the youngest actor in film history with "Crazy Love", all eyes were on Renly: How will he choose the next work? Art film? Or a commercial movie? Or release a second solo album?

At only 22 years old, Renly's career as an actor has just begun, and there are infinite possibilities in the future. He has reached the top of the Oscar early, which can be the peak of Renly's career, but it may also be the beginning of a downhill road.

It is worth noting that, so far, all of Renly's works still maintain a record of victory, and even "Buried Alive", which has the lowest box office number, has made a huge profit. So, after the Golden Man, can Renly continue this momentum? With higher expectations and attention, can Renly continue to be recognized by the audience?

This is what Andy Rogers and the entire Creative Artists Agency have been thinking hard about.

From this point of view, in fact, Renly went to the West End of London to participate in the "Les Miserables" performance, which received the unanimous support of the creative artist agency, and they even shared a small part of their strength to help Andy. Promoted the publicity of "Les Miserables" on Broadway and North America.

the reason is simple. Concentrating on polishing his acting skills, devoting himself to professional research, and showing a humble and cautious attitude, even after winning the Oscar, he is still not arrogant or impetuous, but more down-to-earth, which can quickly cool down for the old academics of the academy, as well as ordinary audiences The envy and hatred brought about by the "22-year-old actor".

If at other times, young actors who are on the rise in their careers choose to return to the West End or Broadway, the agent will probably yell at them; but Renly is a special one, and the innovative artist agency has made every effort to facilitate relevant cooperation and follow-up arrangements. After rapid heating, rapid cooling.

But what about after "Les Miserables"?

For the past few months, Renly has been busy in London, and Andy has not been idle in Los Angeles. Even when Renly wasn't around, he was still the focus of Andy's work. He had been picking projects over and over, screening and screening, from pure art films to independent low-budget productions, from popcorn commercials to unique styles commercial works,

Now, what Andy pursues is not a simple salary or an award, but needs to be more meticulous and cautious.

Commercial popcorn blockbuster? No problem, but now that Renly's personal image is taking shape, that means the character needs to fit in with Renly; an independent art film? There is also no problem, but the characters or themes need to make breakthroughs and cannot repeat themselves.

Beyond that, they also had to take into account Renly's current position. The salary of "Edge of Tomorrow" has reached 10 million US dollars, and there is a 5% box office dividend, which means that the salary of commercial works must not be less than 12 million US dollars; and independent art works also need to start The director and script have been selected, and if it is an unknown work, then Renly needs to start the name producer.

Going against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. They must accept the effect of the Oscar statuette.

Most importantly, Renly needed to nod in agreement.

Andy clearly understands that many times, Renly is a very easy partner to communicate with. There are no pay requirements, no studio privileges, no weird problems, and even no fault with the cooperating crew; but sometimes, Renly is the same. A very troublesome partner, with strict to almost demanding requirements for the script, the role, the director, etc.

It's not an easy thing, it's a very difficult thing.

One of the most interesting proposals Andy has received in recent times has come from Warner Bros.: They asked Renly if he was interested in playing Batman.

Christopher Nolan's "Batman Prequel Trilogy", the last of which has been completed, will be released on July 20 this year. Batman, played by Christian Bale, is about to retire. After the film contract ends, there is no plan to renew it; but now Warner Bros. has begun planning, hoping to find a new actor to take over Batman.

Apparently, Renly was on their waiting list.

Andy refused without any hesitation, not because of the salary or anything, but because of Renly's temperament and style, which had nothing to do with Batman at all. It's like when Warner Bros. chose Nicolas Cage to play Superman and it didn't make it, and when Warner Bros. chose George Clooney to play Batman, it failed, and now it's not wise to choose Renly.

To be more precise, it makes people laugh and cry.

It is worth pondering that Universal Pictures sent a tentative inquiry, whether Luke Hobbs's rumor is still possible? Obviously, this is the opinion of Vin Diesel behind his back, not to mention whether Renly will return to the sequel series after "Fast and the Furious", but Universal Pictures is still optimistic about the role of Luke Hobbs 's Solo Biography.

Andy did not directly refuse, but put it on hold temporarily due to the issue of schedule, and then look at the game between the two sides.

In addition, Andy's audited projects are approaching triple digits, many of which are even just a framework concept, with no script and no crew. He still concentrates on the selection and auditing, and the only idea is to choose a project for Renly. A suitable work to break the golden man's curse.

But now what?
