In Ouges-Lancemos' works, whether it is "dog teeth" or "alps", including "lobsters", they are actually scripts that are very suitable for stage plays, because Ouges is accustomed to shaping a small world within a framework and reflecting reality with this absurd world. This is undoubtedly very suitable for stage play performances; but at the same time, this is also the reason why many viewers think that his directorial ability is relatively limited - after leaving a strange and absurd script, his skills will be reduced by half.
But Renli thinks this is unfair.
Look at Billy Wilder, Woody Allen, Quentin Tarantino, Coen brothers, etc. Their image styles are all based on scripts, and the script is also an indispensable part of the entire work, and there is no need to treat them separately. The same is true for Ouges' script.
Regardless, Ouges is indeed a little famous in the West End of London.
When I learned that Lanley had heard Ouges' name, Andy relaxed a little, patting her belly gently, completely losing the anxiety of the discussion of "Rogue One". "That would be better. I think you and the European director have never worked together, and then you are trying to establish a further cooperative relationship with the three major European film festivals, so I think maybe this is an opportunity."
Lan Li chuckled, "I will ignore the fact that you exclude the United Kingdom from the European sector for the time being. Christopher Nolan, the British man, must be a little wronged, but have you forgotten Rodriguez Cotez? I have worked with a European director, and I have also filmed several works in Europe, but... I understand what you mean, so, let's go back to the topic, Ouges, do you think his script project is worth watching?"
Rodrigue Cotez, the director who "buried alive", also completed the filming of the movie in Barcelona.
However, Andy's focus is that European directors are another system. Staring in works by European directors can not only open up more possibilities in the three major European film festivals, but especially Renly's multilingual ability will undoubtedly become a favorable situation; it can also open up the situation for Sisyphus Films in depth cooperation-
It’s not that Don Quixote Channel is now starting to expand its international market, open French channels, Spanish channels, etc., it’s too early to talk about these things now; it’s not that for the works of European independent film companies, the online broadcast rights of the American market can be given to Sisyphus Pictures, which is also crucial for Don Quixote Channel in the early stages. Of course, it can also lay the foundation for long-term development.
In response to Andy's intentions, directors like Christopher Nolan who have worked with American film companies for a long time naturally cannot count; as for Rodriguez, his influence in Spanish films is still too small; and Ouges undoubtedly meets all Andy's requirements.
Lanley's teasing made Andy chuckle, "Someone is in a good mood today."
"I'm always in a happy mood during holidays." Renli did not deny it.
"This is what you deserve." Andy did not refute, ending the shooting of "Jurassic World" and ending the promotion of "Explosive Drummer" in Venice and Toronto. Lanley should have had a break for a while and then returned to the main topic. "But I'm not sure now, should you interrupt your vacation."
"You can talk about it first." Lanli is willing to open up the possibility.
Andy nodded, "Actually, is it because of you that this work of Ouges can appear in sight? Do you still remember the list of works you selected at the beginning of the year? Ouges' works are among them."
"'Lobster'?" Lanli immediately gave the answer.
"Yes, it seems that you are impressed by this work." Andy couldn't help but sigh, "Do you remember there is another 'dead girl'?"
"Of course, if you have the chance, I think that work is also very interesting." Lanli expressed her affirmation, "Earl and I and the Dead Girl". This fresh sketch is an independent work that Lanli likes very much. It has the typical style of Sundance. It has many differences with independent films such as "Sunny Little Beauty" and "Juno" that are more in line with mainstream aesthetics, but the audience who likes it can always find their own resonance.
"In fact, I have considered both works seriously, but in the end I chose 'lobster'. The main reason is that Ouges is a European director. Oh, by the way, this work is in English, not Greek. Wait, or do you also speak Greek?" Andy suddenly panicked.
Lanley laughed happily, "I don't know how to speak Greek, if you are asking seriously."
Andy let out a sigh of relief and laughed, "Who knows, you make some surprises from time to time, and I must be prepared at all times, right?" After a small joke, Andy returned to the main business. "That list has really helped a lot. Now there is rumors in the industry that our company has its own blacklist."
"Agent, or a film company?" Lan Li's mouth also raised lightly.
"Agent company. Many agents have sent spies to inquire and see what's going on. Even there are many people in our company asking about it, but this is Sisyphus' list, and I can't reveal it casually, it's really embarrassing." Having said that, Andy's tone was a hint of flaunting lightness. Lanli could imagine that in the innovative artist agency, Andy showed off his power and was arrogant.
This is a good thing.
Andy continued, "Anyway, I'm trying to find your next work. I was going to consider it after the filming of "Rogue One", so I missed the "Dead Girl". Summer has officially started filming. I was looking forward to you being a high school student. Since "I'm Anti-Cancer", you haven't appeared in a work that matches age. I'm worried that the movie fans think you're over 35 years old."
"Haha, I don't mind." Lan Li curled up on the sofa, relaxed and stretched her body, picked up her coffee, and chatted in an extremely comfortable way, as if she had a long chat with her friends all night. "Maybe I'd play the role of a college student, but I'd be considered to be robbing young people of job opportunities."
"That's also a possibility." Andy nodded seriously and expressed his affirmation. "Actually, 'Lobster' was a coincidence. I personally think the script is very interesting. This is also the project you selected at the beginning. And this should be considered a black comedy. Although there is no need to give comedy elements to the performance, the performance status is indeed different. I think this should be a good attempt, but Ouges has found the actor who plays the leading role, and with your schedule, I gave up."
"Who was the original male lead?" Lan Li was a little curious.
In the last life, Colin Farrell played the role of "Lobster".
This is an actor who became famous young and famous. He was widely praised when he first appeared on the big screen at the age of 20. His spiritual and delicate performances are attached to his rough and tough appearance, and often burst out with a strong hormonal atmosphere. At the age of 24, he became famous in Hollywood with "Tiger Formation Battlefield" and "Lawlessness". He was once considered able to be able to work with Brad Pitt. The resources in the early stages of his acting career were so good that it was jealous.
Unfortunately, he personally ruined his bright prospects. He was irritated by alcohol/drink/drug/irritation. He leaked his videotapes of applauding love many times. The nature of the playboy was constantly challenging his girlfriend's bottom line. The sensational negative news overshadowed the influence of the actor's career bit by bit, causing people to divert the focus. The bizarreness of Hollywood's Vanity Fair completely swallowed him up.
So much so that people completely forgot that when Colin was twenty-five, he starred in two works: "Sniper Telephone Booth" and "Hart's War", and his acting skills were highly recognized.
Even so, Colin's career in acting was not completely ruined - otherwise, his resources were so outstanding that it was jealous? For more than ten years after that, he had been floating and ups and downs, but he was always able to find excellent works and excellent roles. But then, he himself strangled the career he had just recovered, and even made people wonder if he had a tendency to self-destruct.
The reason why Lanli asked was because he smelled a "but" from Andy's words. If the original male lead had not changed, Andy would not have mentioned this work to Lanli, because the film might have started filming smoothly. Then, the so-called original male lead should not be Collin Farrell.
"Jason-clark." Andy gave a very unexpected answer.
For many people, Jason Clark is a very unfamiliar name. It seems that there is no special masterpiece, and there is no impression of the name at all. But as long as you see that face, you can immediately recall it, "very familiar", this is a typical drama that is popular but not popular.
Jason Clark also entered Hollywood during the turn of the century. He was twenty-nine years old at that time and was still quite young for Hollywood. He has starred in some works, more of them are supporting roles, and has also starred in TV series. He has a rich resume, but he has never been able to make a big hit.
He can be seen in works such as "Death Speed", "Public Enemy", "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps", "Great Gatsby", "Lawlessness", and "Shocking Crisis". He can be regarded as a part of Hollywood's golden supporting role, but even as a supporting role, it has not reached its peak, and it is more familiar.
This year, forty-five-year-old Jason Clark starred in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Battle of Dawn", which became a turning point in his career and allowed him to win more opportunities to star. In fact, this is very common in Hollywood. The peak period of male actors often comes after the age of 35 and before the age of fifty.
What really surprised Lanli was not the age of Jason Clark and Colin Farrell, but the images and styles of these two actors are more inclined to tough guys or middle-aged men. Obviously, this is not Lanli's image positioning.
So, how did Andy choose this work among thousands of invitations?
