The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2503
[Two thousand four hundred and sixty-five irreplaceable]
“…I think you can record the soundtrack the whole way, absolutely no problem! I’m currently considering whether to invite a singer to guest perform, do you have a special recommendation? Jazz, I hope it’s a jazz-style singer, maybe in Working in a jazz bar, that’s fine.”
“I even had your outfits in mind, haha, I was walking down the Upper East Side with Justin the other day and we saw a tailor shop with handmade tailoring, and we were talking, you’re very Suitable for suits, in this movie, you can perfectly show your charm, the feeling of a retro gentleman.”
“As for the character, I made it for you. After the shooting of the last work, I watched it again and again. I still can’t forget the look in your eyes in the performance of several of the scenes, I think maybe this time our shooting can be a little more restrained, but it will create a better effect.”
Damien Chazelle continued to talk and dance. Talking about his ideas and thoughts about “La La Land”, he can feel his excitement and excitement from every corner with his ecstatic expression. He is gearing up to start a new job, and his enthusiasm and excitement are overflowing like this.
Renly was slightly envious, and he missed himself like this—and, watching Damien like this, even Renly jumped up with joy.
“What’s wrong?” Damien could sense the warmth in Renly’s eyes, paused, and asked curiously.
Renly chuckled, “I just remembered the meeting across the street from the Sunset Tower Hotel. No matter it was then or now, you still maintain this enthusiasm. I believe that as long as you speak up, you are willing to take over this project now. There should be a lot of companies in the company; don’t you think about other things?”
“Why should I consider other things?” Damien asked back with question marks, “In Sisyphus, are you willing to provide funds, and also Willing to listen to my ideas, willing to actively participate in the creation of works, not to mention, and you, why should I make other choices?”
Indeed, Damien was unquestionably Hollywood’s upstart after “The Popping Drummer” became famous.
As Renly said, as long as Damien opens his mouth, there are not a few film companies willing to take over Damien’s new works. Damien can completely “get the highest price” and win a splendid future for himself.
But Damien didn’t.
Damien not only did not look for other film companies, but kept waiting patiently. Even though Renly had a busy schedule and never asked about the preparation progress of “La La Land”, he still waited silently, ignoring those film companies. Invitation, wholeheartedly threw himself on the movie.
This focus is extremely rare.
Perhaps, it has something to do with Damien’s experience of going around like a headless fly looking for “Boom Drummer” investors.
Damien’s rhetorical question made Renly chuckle,
nodded in agreement, and then took the initiative to talk, “Sisyphus is willing to make this work, have you discussed it with the company? The production cost is approximately How much?”
“I can’t be sure at the moment, but my estimate is 30 million.” Damien was a little shy, because the production cost was ten times higher than that of “Boom Drummer”, his eyes dodged a little, ” It’s mainly the special effects, I want to be able to show the Los Angeles of the golden age like ‘Midnight Paris’, but it happened in the current Los Angeles, so the cost may be…”
“Huh. No problem.” Renly’s eyes were full of smiles , stopping Damien’s explanation, “I’ll tell them, the budget is still fine, after all, I’ll get a big check before long.”
This is saying “Jurassic World” remuneration.
Because the movie is still being released, and the large film companies need to go through the process of paying their remuneration, Renly’s remuneration has not yet been received.
But as Renly said, judging by the current box-office trend, it’s safe to say it’s a big check now.
Damien, too, was amused by Renly’s easy-to-follow jokes.
“Damien, you should know how much I look forward to this work. When the filming of ‘Blacking Drummer’ was completed, you mentioned the outline of this project to me, and I expressed a positive attitude; but unfortunately, there is no way I can do it. Participate in this project.”
Renly’s words were only halfway through, Damien was in a hurry, and he couldn’t hide his anxiety, “But… haven’t we already agreed?”
“Damien.” Renly tried to explain.
But Damien was really freaked out and had nowhere to put his hands and didn’t even know what to do with himself, “Renly, I’m serious, this is a character that’s totally made for you. You know what? Sebas. Tien, the name comes from your middle name, and piano and jazz, it’s all done with your settings, even the final ‘Casablanca’ ending, I’m simulating you in my head It
was written in the image of…”
“Damien, I believe, I believe everything you say is not your problem, but mine.” Renly’s tone remained gentle, with a shallow corner of his mouth. But obviously, Damien didn’t believe it. His eyes were full of despair and heartbreak, like a poodle abandoned by Renly. His wet eyes were clearly full of sadness, which made Renly a little dumbfounded. , helplessly raised a smile.
Originally, Renly did not intend to explain to Damien, because this is not his style of acting, and he would share his private affairs with others, but now, Renly calmed down, “Damien, in fact, After filming ‘Rogue One’, I fell into a low period.”
Damien was slightly stunned.
“I don’t like acting, and I’m not used to acting. Acting used to be very pure, just me and my character, but now my life is…complicated.” Renly didn’t explain further, but the word “complex”, but Including too much, which makes Damien gradually quiet.
Although Damien didn’t reach Renly’s level, he could also feel the “noisy” — after the Oscars ended, his life with Justin Hurwitz became noisy, and the monsters and monsters began to approach him actively, He didn’t like the chaotic and messy feeling.
“I originally hoped to take a break for half a year to a year, to really keep myself away from all those distractions, to sort out my thoughts, and then rethink my future.” Having said that, Renly cast a glance at Damien, ” So, I felt a little envious of your enthusiasm just now.” The
word “envy” hides a little loneliness and loss, even if there is no too much explanation, it makes Damien feel the same.
“I’m not sure what state I’m in right now, this TV series is an accident, Andy…” Renly fell silent and thought for a moment, “Andy hopes I can cheer up and find the passion I once had, even if There’s no way to go back in time, at least to be able to enjoy the show again. Andy and David convinced me that I’m trying, through a long run-in process, to try and rejuvenate the source of passion.”
“I…I’m back now. A little bit, but I’m not sure how much time it will take, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, I don’t know.” Renly said sincerely, “But I don’t want you to delay for me…”
“I don’t mind. Damien said bluntly. “Renly, I’m serious. I don’t mind. If we need to wait a year, we’ll wait a year.”
“But Sisyphus Pictures can’t wait a year.” Renly Another joke, Damien didn’t laugh, which made Renly chuckle softly, “Damien, I believe you’re serious, and I believe Sebastian was indeed made for me. , but I sincerely hope to see this work as soon as possible, you should continue at the original pace, and if you miss me, Hollywood still has countless excellent actors.”
Damien’s eyes showed despair, although he could Understanding Renly, but the disappointment was still hard to hide, and he hugged his head in annoyance.
“Ha, Damien, your reaction makes me feel honored to know that you are an irreplaceable actor, not…not one of the countless actors in Hollywood, which is the best affirmation for an actor.” Ren Lizhan gave a big smile.
Damien looked up immediately, “Of course, you are the best, and you are irreplaceable. Renly, trust me, no actor can take your place.”
“Indeed, that’s the truth.” Lan It was rare for Li to show off arrogantly, but Damien was still full of seriousness, Renly could only reluctantly continue, “Choose other actors, not to replace my position, but to seek a different position, let Sebas The role of Tian became a whole new image.”
Renly didn’t want Ryan to see himself as a replacement, and he didn’t see Ryan as his replacement.
“Damien, listen carefully to me, I think Ryan Gosling is a very suitable choice, his gloom and dashing can give Sebastian a different quality; and, believe me, in the actor dream On the road to my death, Ryan is more bumpy and arduous than me, and I can be considered a lucky one.” As he spoke, Renly laughed himself – the advantage of two generations, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com This is Ryan can’t match the focus.
“Did you know? Ryan was interrupted by a sandwich delivery when he was auditioning, and his performance couldn’t go on at all. He was like a fool.” Renly recounted an interesting anecdote about Ryan’s gossip, “Ryan’s greatest ever. The dream is to successfully complete an audition without interruption.” It’s
not even a successful audition, but a successful audition.
Damien’s attention was attracted, and he was a little lost.
“Ryan and I…well, we are both dreamers, I am more persistent, Ryan is more rough, I think Ryan can interpret Sebastian differently, from a certain point of view, Ryan Probably more suitable than me.” Renly’s words opened the door to another world for Damien.
Sebastian chose to compromise in the face of reality, and was even forced to give up his dream at one point.
It was the pain Ryan was going through, not Renly’s.
As Renly said, he and Ryan are two different actors, and their interpretation of Sebastian will be two different characters.
Perhaps, Ryan is more in line with Damien’s perception and understanding of Sebastian.
