Renly pushed open the door and walked in. Andy and Rodrigo who were sitting in the hall came into view. He waved his hand and said hello, "Good evening." Then he didn't intend to stay, and pointed to the room in the room. Direction, "I'm a little tired, I'll take a bath first, and then I'll rest first."

Three black lines appeared on Andy's forehead, and he shouted, "Renly, wait, don't you wonder why Rodrigo is here? We're in your room, not mine."

"Oh." Renly only reacted at this time, and lowered his chin gently, "You guys are discussing work?" The end of the voice was raised, and then he continued, "Then you guys keep busy, after the negotiation comes out, just tell me. Okay."

Renly really didn't care about anything other than the performance, and Andy couldn't help crying and laughing because of his light-hearted appearance, "Renly, you can give us some advice. It's about you."

According to Andy's prediction, "Buried Alive" is indeed going to have many difficulties to make a breakthrough in the awards season. The main reason is that the layout is too small and the theme is too rigid. The biggest hope is Renly. This is definitely not because he is Renly's agent.

Renly stood there and hesitated for a moment, then came over, patted Rodrigo on the shoulder, and sat down beside Shan Shan.

The continuous news bombardment for the past three days is even more difficult than the shooting of "Buried Alive"; and now that he is going out, the audience of the film festival has begun to recognize him, which makes travel more troublesome. , Those avid movie fans are always screaming in shock, coming down from time to time, and the eardrums and nerves are severely tested, which is why he chooses to go out for a walk at night. In fact, now that Renly is very tired, the only thought is: when does the Toronto Film Festival end?

Sitting on the sand, Renly still sat upright and maintained his etiquette. The strict aristocratic education in this world was still deeply rooted in his bones. The etiquette of basic postures such as standing, sitting, walking, dining, greetings, etc. was deeply imprinted in every cell. . The only time he can relax is sleep, which is why he is so keen to sleep.

"Several companies have made offers to Rodrigo and are willing to be responsible for the North American tour of 'Buried Alive'." Andy completed the summary in the simplest sentence, Renly nodded in understanding, and then Andy continued, "I I personally think that Lionsgate is a good choice, so far I haven't heard that they have much action in this year's awards season. 'Three Days of Dangerous Love' is their self-produced and self-sold work, and it is also the only highlight at present."

These two are Oscar winners, so naturally they should not be underestimated.

"This work is scheduled for October, and the quality is unknown. If the harvest is positive, then Lionsgate's resources are tilted toward the 'Three Days of Dangerous Love', which is beyond doubt." Andy's brain was fast When it started running, Rodrigo told him the news, and the plan in his mind had already drawn up a framework in just a few minutes, "But objectively speaking, Lionsgate is a horror film company. Operating 'Buried Alive', they must have more skilled experience, at least in terms of box office, they can be trusted."

Having said that, Andy paused for a moment, looked at Rodrigo, who was in deep thought, and then looked at Ren Li, who was calm and calm, and after confirming that neither of them had any intention of speaking, he continued, "However, Their disadvantage is also obvious, they are still new players in Hollywood, and before that, only 'Precious' made it to the final stage of awards season."

"Cherish" was the winner of the People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival last year, and finally won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Rodrigo raised his head with a look of eagerness on his face. It could be seen that Lionsgate was very much in line with his psychological expectations. However, Andy raised his hand to stop Rodrigo's plan to speak, and then said, "On the other hand, in terms of Focus Pictures, there is no doubt about their academy's public relations strength. Every year, they screen a large wave of potential works. The Ministry abandoned them, and finally selected the seed players and concentrated their firepower on public relations operations.”

"So, their advantages and disadvantages are very clear, the resources are abundant enough, and the competition is fierce enough." Andy could see Rodrigue frowning in confusion, but he said without panic, "But with Fox Searchlight In comparison, Focus Pictures has encountered some problems this year. They had high hopes for 'American', and the word of mouth was a mess; after 'Somewhere' landed in Venice, the response was far lower than expected. Awards season has not yet come When the curtain started, two generals were already damaged. That's why they'll find you."

"The American" starring George Clooney has won two Oscar winners in the past three years, and the momentum is very rapid; "Somewhere" is Sofia-Coppola (sofia-coppo1a) since the "Cleopatra" fiasco, The work released again after a lapse of four years has attracted much attention.

Focus Pictures has huge confidence in both works, but the results are not satisfactory, which also disrupted their initial layout. As Andy said, otherwise "Buried Alive" would be hard to get into Focus Pictures' sight.

"Of course, Toronto is not over yet, and Focus Pictures still has time. However, as far as I know, they only have 'the kids are all good' on their hands." Andy said confidently, "Of course, the awards season is still here. If there is no start, there will be many changes in the next two or three months. Focus Pictures will definitely not be caught without it. In this regard, their possibility is much greater than that of Lionsgate Pictures.

But I think..."

Andy noticed Renly's inquiring gaze, and it had been a while, and his face was scorching hot, he couldn't help but stop, turned his head to look over, and asked with a smile, "What, is there something wrong? "

Renly pursed his lips and shook his head with a chuckle, "I thought you've been on vacation for the past two days. But obviously, I don't know."

Andy speaks eloquently, it seems to be just some meticulous things, but Renly can hear it. These information can only be obtained after a lot of investigation and inquiries, and it may even require mobilizing people to exchange information. The ever-changing urgency The situation was definitely not as understated as Andy said.

Renly also realized that his previous understanding of the agent was still a little off. Before the Emmys, he hadn't looked for an agent, and it seemed he was taking things too easy.

"I think that since Focus Pictures has noticed us, it means that we have been recognized." Andy concluded, "In this regard, Focus Pictures is more reliable and valuable than Lionsgate. "

For industry giants like Focus Pictures, they need to consider the overall situation in every decision they make. What works will hit the best film, what works will hit individual awards, what genres can be selected, and what genres should be avoided. These are all strategies. Instead of being like a small company, when you see that the work is not bad, you will attack it directly, and once it is won, it will start running smoothly.

"Renly, what do you think?" After expressing his opinion, Andy threw the question to Renly.

It's not that Renly can give any professional advice, it's because the crew of "Buried Alive" is too small, and there are only a few people in total, and Rodrigo is willing to listen to Renly's opinion; The quality of the finished product is still not high enough. If nothing else, hitting the Best Actor Award is their only hope. So Andy wanted Renly to join the discussion.

Renly shrugged, without deliberation or hesitation, he simply said, "I will choose Focus Pictures."

Andy looked at Renly's eyes, and the smile fell deep into his eyes, "You don't want to express your opinion, just pick one?"

Renly seemed to have been told what was on his mind, a smile rose on the corners of his mouth, and he spread his hands, "Then what answer do you expect from me? Senior professional advice? I thought, this is your job, or maybe Luo Drigg's."

Objectively speaking, Renly really doesn't know much about marketing, publicity, and public relations. Even if he has lived in two lifetimes, he doesn't have any understanding in the previous world. These are professional work contents. make trouble.

This is not uncommon in the film industry. The most famous is the operation of Warner Bros. for dc comics. This is the case with the two works of "Batman Vs." and "Suicide Squad". Professional, but the result is that the original intention of the creator is destroyed, and the quality of the finished product is greatly disappointing.

Nonetheless, Renly joined the discussion, "Personally, the internal competition of Focus Pictures is indeed fierce, but their publicity system and PR structure are also better. I think your focus is biased, Expectations were too high for 'Buried Alive'; I think it would be great if the movie could earn a place in awards season, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if it didn't. The accolades the movie is getting so far is A huge affirmation."

Renly kept his mind straight, because he was focused and pure enough that all his attention was on the performance, and everything else took a back seat.

"What's more, if Focus Pictures chooses to give up 'buried alive' in the competition, does that mean that in the competition of awards season, we may not be able to bite to the end? Even if it is replaced by Lionsgate The same is true for business?" Renly's two rhetorical questions made Andy and Rodrigo fall into their thoughts, but he stood up directly, "Okay, let's continue to discuss slowly, the rest of the professional part, I will There are really not many opinions that I can give, so I'm going to prepare to rest."

With that, Renly got up and left.

Andy and Rodrigo were still sitting, and the living room was quiet again. After a small meeting, Rodrigo asked tentatively, "How about I go and ask Focus Pictures for an offer?"

"Okay." Andy answered neatly.
