"Among the two scripts, I recommend 'Ring Messenger' more." Roy did not hesitate, but made a bold recommendation, which made Renly raise his eyebrows slightly and cast a questioning gaze. , Roy then explained.

"Actually, I think 'Dragon Tiger Boys' is very good, it is a comedy, the script itself is relatively simple, but the screenwriter Michael Bacall (call) is quite talented, he wrote 'Crooked Boy Scott' before ' and 'Project x', the laughter settings are very interesting. I think you can have chemistry with the characters and challenge a comedy style similar to 'Saturday Night Live' and you should enjoy it."

"Dragon Tiger Boys" is adapted from the 1980s TV series of the same name, the famous work of Johnny Depp. After the adaptation of the film, a group of actors from the Bad Boys Gang gathered, and their American-style cold humor was enthusiastically sought after, and won the hearts of film critics and audiences.

The reason why Andy chose this script is very simple, let Renly challenge the breakthrough of the image again. This is not a comedy like "I am fighting cancer". It is somewhat similar to the "Evil Boss" that I missed at the beginning, and compared with the latter, "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" is a work with two protagonists, and the scenes are more concentrated and more challenging. It is indeed worth considering.

Roy didn't know that he had the experience of "evil boss", and he added, "However, this work challenges the image a lot, and it may break the audience's impression of you. I know you don't care about the image. The problem, but this kind of comedy is not about letting go of your body and doing spoofs, it still needs sparks. I think if you really take this work, then the partner will be very important. "

Comedy is always like this, and the chemistry between joking and joking is crucial, and the "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" is no exception.

In the last life, the partner of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, a match made in heaven, won a lot of applause, and finally 42 million US dollars The investment in the company has fully exchanged for 138 million North American box office, and the global box office has also exceeded 200 million, which can be said to be applauded and popular.

Facing Roy's opinion, Renly didn't show much expression or express his opinion, and changed the subject, "What about the 'Ring Messenger'?" To be precise, he was more curious about Roy's opinion on this work. view.

"This is a sci-fi movie, a bit like 'Source Code' which was released in April this year." Roy said with ready preparations, "After 'Groundhog Day' and 'Butterfly Effect', this type of movie It’s hard to come up with new ideas. The important thing is not the logic of science fiction, but the story. The core of 'Ring Messenger' is still the causal cycle, which has a bit of an oriental Zen flavor. If it can be executed smoothly, it has the ability to become a classic. possible."

"The screenwriter is rian-johnson, who wrote and directed 'The Pursuit', starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and later made a few episodes of 'Breaking Bad'. It is estimated that the director will also It's him, but I'm still a little hesitant about his ability. If it's Duncan-Jones, it's perfect." Roy's judgment is still calm and objective, and he has different requirements for works of different themes. It can be seen that his professional level is really good.

"The reason why I think this work is more worthy of recommendation than 'Dragon Tiger Youth Team' is because it is more suitable." Roy did not forget the focus of today's conversation, and the topic returned to Renly, "'The Ring Messenger' because The relationship between the theme proposition is a test for the actor's acting skills, which is different from 'source code'. It also has more philosophical reflection and soul struggle, which has higher requirements for actors. First of all, it It's a commercial sci-fi film; secondly, it's a serious script with rich content; thirdly, it's a character full of countless possible characters."

Speaking of which, Roy shrugged lightly, without explaining too much, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious, "But it also has a fatal flaw. The opposite actors. I don't know what the producer's positioning is for the movie, If it's just a pure sci-fi movie, and then fights and confronts, they will definitely pick some action actors, then this may be a disaster, completely weakening the thematic core of the movie itself, and the actors have little room to play. So..." Roy "tsk", "We can only pray."

According to the trajectory of the previous life, "Ring Messenger" was highly sought after in North America, and was highly praised by film critics, but it was disliked in China, and netizens complained one after another; the treatment of "source code" was reversed. The audience loves it, but it has a general reputation among North American film critics.

As for the box office, both works have suffered a cold reception in North America and achieved good results overseas. The North American box office data of "Ring Messenger" is slightly higher, while the overseas box office of "Source Code" is higher. Both works rely on Successfully achieved profitability in overseas markets.

"Ring Messenger" stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, with Hsu/Qing and Emily-blunt in major roles. As Roy expected, the crew chose action actors like Bruce, and their positioning is still a sci-fi action movie after all.

For Renly, "Dragon Tiger Junior Team" and "Ring Messenger" are quite interesting choices.

The former is a comedy. After "The Cancer-fighting Me", Renly once again challenged the comedy show. No matter who it is with, it is bound to be a joyful and relaxing filming.

Brigade, you can also try to see the unusual performance that the "evil boss" missed.

The latter is sci-fi, and in a sense it can be regarded as a continuation of the same type of "speed and passion". It is mainly based on action fighting, but it will add some philosophical thinking, which has some requirements for performance, but it is not too difficult. , can be said to be another attempt at commercial film performance.

The reason why Roy recommended "Ring Messenger" is that in addition to the above reasons, the main reason is to consider the North American market. Science fiction movies have always been an important mainstream. Maybe their market explosiveness is not as good as pure action movies, but they are quite popular among a minority of diehard movie fans and a majority of popcorn audiences. Once successful, they will definitely benefit a lot.

This is the most suitable choice for Renly's current situation: a commercial film, but a sci-fi commercial film with personal labels, not brainless popcorn, nor a profound literary fan, and will not completely break away from the category of professional fans. And be able to reach a wider audience of fans.

Just like sci-fi action movies such as the "Alien" series, "Blade Runner", and "Terminator" series, although they are commercial movies, the script needs to be carefully polished. It is not easy to achieve the goal of win-win at the box office and word of mouth. For actors , but it is a challenging project.

Renly guessed that if Andy recommended, "Ring Messenger" would also be at the top of the list. From this perspective, does Roy pass the inspection?

Roy looked at Renly's expression seriously, trying to find some clues and judge Renly's preferences and tendencies, but he was disappointed. On Renly's face, there was neither approval nor disapproval. He was always reading the script carefully, listening to his explanation carefully, but not expressing any opinion.

Of course, it can be said that Renly has not finished reading the script for the time being, and he is not in a hurry to make a decision; but it can also be said that his commentary is still not in place enough to impress Renly.

But this is not surprising. From previous contacts, it can be seen that Renly has shown an opinion and wisdom different from his age, which has allowed him to successfully establish a firm foothold in Hollywood. Today's conversation further demonstrates this. Roy knows that recommending works and shooting works are only the first level of the test. The real focus is on the script of the third part: uncertain.

Sure enough, Renly flipped through the script of "Ring Messenger" earnestly, then put it down without any extra comments, and then opened the first of the last pile of scripts: "Django Unchained ".

Roy adjusted his breath and calmed down again. "These three scripts have one thing in common: both advantages and disadvantages. You can say that they are perfect, or you can say that they are worthless. For example, in this script, Kun Ting Tarantino's name is still loud enough, his script has always been stylized and has high requirements for the actor's black humor style, and he can always interpret his own style in a slanted way."

Renly didn't look up, but thought, "Django Unchained"? Why can't he think of a role for himself? Could it be Leonardo DiCaprio's vicious rancher?

"However, his films are obviously based on directors and screenwriters, and it's not easy for actors to stand out." Roy changed his words, "Also, this is a movie about black slaves in the west, and your place in it is really good. Limited. I looked at several potential roles, and the age is not suitable, at least thirty-five years old or more. "

The corners of Renly's mouth rose slightly, Roy's words just hit his mind, is this a common way of thinking?

"If you want to be able to work with Quentin, I think he's going to put a character in. You know, Quentin is always going to write a script and he's making cameos from time to time, so it shouldn't be a problem. But if not, the play value of this script is not even as good as 'Jack Reacher'."

Roy still maintains his usual style, which is concise, sharp and direct. Renly likes this style, and cooperation is often more effective with less effort.

Renly thought "Django Unchained" was an interesting work, but not as good as "Inglourious Basterds." As for Quentin, his personal favorites are always "Reservoir Dogs" and "Kill Bill", followed by "Pulp Fiction". Since "Inglourious Basterds", Quentin has gone too far, and gradually began to approach Oscar, but lost his personal style.

For Roy's judgment, Renly expressed his affirmation in his heart, but he still did not express his opinion. Because nominally, he has not read these scripts, just listened to Roy's explanation, he needs more time to read the scripts, doesn't he?

It's just that this made Roy feel uneasy, looking at the expressionless Renly.
