Tony Scott loving calls RSA «herd old fart." Maybe it is, but the "old fart" (in the company of very gifted young people) make the advertising industry as it is, based on a combination of self-confidence, pride, diversity, business flair and family love.

"Oh my God, for 40 years, much has happened in that time," said a shocked Ridley Scott in a recent interview. That's really true: this time for RSA «wrong» 5000 movies, among them works that forever changed the advertising industry.

"Honestly, I do not really know what to do," admits Ridley Scott, recalls the days when the base of RSA. "I was working as a director in prodakshene Natural Breaks, but I wanted my own business. I have not always had the opportunity to discuss something with the management, and they are not always kept me up to date - if for some reason the director did not have to worry about the issue of the budget. Therefore, in the beginning, I was always aware of everything in the RSA. I liked the business, I realized that this too creative, just another ».

Even then, Scott was convinced that diversity plays an important role in the life of the company.

A rare combination: a successful advertising prodakshenom management, work in it and works fine in a big movie, famous throughout the world and, moreover, have left traces in the history of cinema.

By the way, how much do we know advertising directors - Knights of the British Empire? A Ridley Scott has added his name to "Sir" in 2003.

Ridley Scott: «Storytelling - is communication. I know that this sounds like a simplification. This speaker! I remember one of the best television shows I've ever seen. I watched a program on the BBC with Orson Welles and Peter O'Toole. They sat and talked half the night. The program lasted two hours instead of the hours. And I sat and stared at it as a clash between two creative forces on a conversation between two people who really know all about his art and profession. And then I realized that in fact you do not need to get in the frame certainly fled, jumping and exploding cars. This information is all around. In fact, you need to make it all developed, was in the dynamics, I think so.

And I knew in my life, you need to trust your instincts. In the creative process of the intuition becomes a general all - need to learn to listen to her and follow her. You get a lot more experience and feelings when you listen to yourself, your body, than those who do not. They often blame the external circumstances, and rarely in the interior. Listen, this is Buddhism, yes? »

All directors about my age - Ridley, Alan Parker, Hugh Hudson, Adrian Lyne and I - we came out of that era and experienced, and his films this effect. Alan, perhaps not, but we have always been criticized for this here this here's our "advertising". Yes, they went »
