Renly didn't like such occasions.

If he is keen on this kind of socialization, he can stay in London, there will be different kinds of parties and meet-ups waiting for him every week, Arthur can even take him to different clubs every night to participate in different themes The dance party is not the same for a month.

Compared with such occasions, he is more willing to go to the cinema to watch a movie, even if it is a terrible work; or stand by the street, chatting with other audience members, and sharing his own knowledge of the movie, whether profound or simple. the opinion of.

However, Andy is now lacking skills, staying busy in Los Angeles, and Nathan's level and ability are not up to the requirements, Renly can only show up in person.

Now, Renly finally knew why top actors had an agent, a publicist, an assistant, and a manager. Because each position has its own corresponding work.

The so-called manager, he is completely different from the agent, almost every artist will have an agent, the difference is only in the level of the level. Managers may manage the work of multiple artists at the same time, and are responsible for making career plans for the artists, arranging jobs, etc., but only top artists have managers.

The manager is exclusive to the artist and is responsible for handling everything around the artist. For example, he needs to be responsible for communicating with the agent. The script submitted by the agent will first pass through the hands of the manager, and then he will tell the artist the outline and details of the script. Outline, the artist then decides whether to detail the script. Sometimes, if the artist is too lazy, or even without the script, he will follow the manager's advice and decide whether to take over the project.

For another example, he needs to be responsible for allocating the work around the artist, explaining the working rules of the assistant, communicating with sponsors, stylists, bodyguards, public relations, etc., and arranging the artist's vacation and working time. It's like a personal butler.

According to industry regulations, brokers can only draw commissions, and 10% is capped; however, managers can not only collect commissions, but also take project commissions.

To give an example, Harvey Weinstein now wants to win the North American distribution rights of "Crazy Love", and Renly handed over the job to the manager. In the case of the artist's own interests, the manager nodded and agreed, and the matter was settled.

Therefore, in general, the manager is the person closest to and trusted by the artist. Tom Cruise's manager is his sister.

If Renly had a manager now, such negotiations would simply be left to the manager. To be precise, managers are more suitable for this kind of work than brokers. But the problem is, he didn't.

However, just because you don't like it doesn't mean you're not good at it.

Facing Harvey's flattery, Renly showed a modest smile, "Thank you. I always thought that young was a derogatory term in Hollywood, but today I'm a little relieved."

Harvey's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the spikes between the calmness were somewhat unexpected. However, Harvey has seen countless winds and waves, so naturally he will not be shocked by this young and arrogant provocation. Instead, he sits down with the situation, his legs are raised, and his hands are relaxed on both sides of the back of the chair. , is completely a godfather posture.

"Indeed, sometimes young is a derogatory term." Harvey didn't play his cards according to common sense, but continued to follow Renly's words, "but if you change the occasion, it may become a noun that makes history. For example Said, the youngest Oscar winner in film history."

Drake's eyes suddenly lit up, and his round eyes were stretched to the extreme, as if they would burst open at any time.

Twenty-one-year-old Renly? Oscar winner? Is this...isn't that crazy? Even the youngest Oscar winner in film history was already twenty-one years and two hundred and eighteen days old when he won the award. In other words, he was even older than Renly's current age.

Drake's expression was a bit funny. He looked at Harvey and Renly in disbelief. He couldn't believe his ears, and strongly suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Renly looked at Drake's blunt expression without concealment, and laughed directly, his eyes filled with youthful cheer and wanton, "I guess everyone wants to be Einstein, but Einstein There's only one, and there's a reason."

Harvey's pupils squinted slightly, he was a little uncertain, whether Renly in front of him really didn't understand, or did he pretend not to understand; was the sentence just now a real sigh, or a real irony?

He always felt that there was something in Renly's words. Twice in a row, his intentions were avoided by Renly either softly or hard. Was this a coincidence, or was it his own delusion? After all, Renly was only twenty-one years old.

Twenty-one-year-olds are all ecstatic because they can finally drink. They spend all day in bars, they are just a group of children who are not grown up. How could it be so calm? So, is he too sensitive?

"Haha, the idea of ​​an actor is really unique. I think that's why I'll never be an actor." Harvey quietly dismissed the topic, then looked at Drake, and said with a smile, "However, in the process of this cooperation, you already know enough about Renly's ideas. After all, you have contributed a wonderful work."

"Thank you." Drake laughed and scratched his head, a little shy, a little humble, but a little happy at the same time, "However, in the process of cooperation, many times we communicated with each other. Renly The understanding of the script and the characters is really surprising, the finished product of the film, and my most

The original idea is far from the same. "

Harvey's eyes fell on Renly again. The director is full of praise for the actor, which is quite normal, but Drake's tone, inside and outside of his words, praises Renly, which makes Harvey think of the professional attitude towards Renly in the past few months. Praise, could it be that Renly is really an acting genius?

However, such thoughts only paused in Harvey's head for a moment. Genius, so what? In real life, we never speak with strength, otherwise there would not be so many people complaining about "unfairness" in society. The last thing Hollywood lacks is talent.

"I don't know what the original version was, but I like the version I'm seeing now." The thoughts in Harvey's mind were turning, but the rhythm of the words did not stop at all, "Accurately, I was crazy about it. ."

The words of praise are endless, and there is no money to lose meat anyway. "Bob also likes it very much. After he came out of the cinema, he kept telling me that this is a good work, this is a good work." Harvey can Seeing the jerky expression on Drake's face, he knew that this was a rookie, and he was in a good mood. "Weinstein Pictures is very willing to be responsible for the North American distribution of 'Crazy Love'."

After speaking, Wei Wei paused for half a second before Harvey added, "If I have the honor."

Looking at the excitement and excitement in Drake's eyes, Harvey knew that it had happened.

The name "Weinstein" is unquestionable for the appeal of independent films. Only Focus Films and Fox Searchlight can be compared in the industry; but the difference from those big film companies is that the two brothers are more Bold and more wanton, it tends to make more unexpected choices, and it is also easier to impress those obscure independent filmmakers.

"Love Crazy", in Harvey's opinion, could not have caused such a sensation if it hadn't been for the effect of Renly at work. Neither Focus Pictures nor Fox Searchlight will be interested except for their two brothers, maybe Sony Classics will, but not very competitive.

Just like last year's "Blue Valentine", Weinstein Pictures had few competitors and easily won the North American distribution rights. And "Blue Valentine" still has Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams in charge. In comparison, "Crazy Love" is one size smaller.

Harvey, the victory is in your hands.

"Of course there is no problem!" Drake's answer made Harvey show a big smile. The negotiation did not take too much effort, and the negotiation was reached directly. This kind of business is really cost-effective, and then there are some details.

"Do you have all the distribution rights, TV broadcasting rights, and DVD publishing rights now?" Harvey glanced at Renly out of the corner of his eye, and found that he had no intention of opening his mouth. He thought too much, and the short tit-for-tat just now was just a momentary impulse of the young man.

"Uh..." Derek hesitated for a moment, then looked at Renly subconsciously, his eyes were full of confusion, and after receiving a positive gesture from Renly, he nodded, "Yes."

Although he has shot two works before, the first work was not released at all and entered the videotape market directly; last year's "Fool" sold the distribution rights, but it was only broadcast in less than 50 art theaters . Therefore, he really has limited understanding of all aspects and details of the distribution.

That was one of the reasons why he insisted on being with Renly.

Harvey noticed the details of the exchange of eyes, but he didn't think much about it, and said straightly, "Then, 1.5 million, we will complete the delivery of all copyrights in one go, we can exchange the agreement today, and after the lawyer's review, Sign the deal tomorrow, and then I'll start working on preparing the film for North American release."

One and a half million, Drake was a little flustered. Not because the price is too low, but because the price is too high, far beyond imagination.

The film only cost $250,000; and, here at Sundance, independent works generally sell for less than $3 million. Now, Harvey offered a price of 1.5 million in one breath, the impact was undoubtedly huge, and Drake felt that his brain was a little short of time.

Harvey noticed Drake's expression, and became more and more calm, "My current thinking is that the movie is scheduled to be released in October, of course, before that, we will participate in some film festivals, and then see the feedback of the film critics. If all goes well, we can be seen during the awards season."

us. Harvey said "we," not "you," or "crazy in love," but "us." Quietly, he has declared his ownership of the film. , a better experience.
