The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1214: Interest game
"On Universal Pictures and Renly-Hall's two or three things."
This may be written as a small essay, to carefully explore the history of the evolution of the relationship between the two, and to satisfy the curiosity of everyone. Why does Lang always refuse to communicate with Lan Li? Taking it a step further, why did Lang keep Lan Li out of the door, and the bad relationship has not improved?
As everyone knows, Hollywood is an interest-oriented circle. As long as there are enough interests, no conflicts can not be resolved, unless it is the incompatible personal grievances of Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg. Otherwise, everything can be negotiated, even if it is not a smile, but at least the differences can be temporarily put aside and fight for the same interests.
Now, Lan Li has become one of the top players in the entire Hollywood industry. Whether it’s the box office explosion of "Edge of Tomorrow" or the pinnacle of awards for the youngest Oscar actor in film history, this means that Lan Li is unique and unique in the world. The attitude of Warner Bros. is clear at a glance. Every film company hopes to cooperate with Renly on every film project.
What's more, Lan Li's "Degree and Excitement/Emotion 5" has created a new high in the series and won a huge explosion of word of mouth. In anyone's opinion, this is a pleasant cooperation. Then, why Lang still refuses What about reconciliation with Lan Li?
The reason is simple but also very complicated.
First, when Lan Li left the "Degree and Excitement/Love 6" crew, it caused a chain effect. Universal Pictures invited Dawn Johnson and Jason Statham to appear in the sixth episode of the series at a higher price; At the same time, other actors with Paul Walker have collectively increased their salaries. For Universal Pictures, it can be said that they have picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.
Furthermore, after the shooting of the sixth episode, Van Diesel also asked for a salary increase. Facing the improvement in the treatment of other people, and Paul's partition of the producer's privileges, Diesel's weight in the crew has been sharply weakened, and he is also striving for his rights and status. This tear/force war has just begun.
Secondly, Lan Li’s departure caused a series of negative consequences. Not only did the shooting of "Degree and Excitement/Emotion 6" get into trouble, there were serious internal disputes and disputes, procrastinated and unable to start up, "the edge of tomorrow." The film has just started after the "Take off" was completed, and the loss for most of the year is hard to estimate.
Moreover, the death of the Luke Hobbes biography film cut off Universal Pictures' desire to further expand the universe of the series and disrupted Universal Pictures' overall plan. If it is another series of movies, it is enough to find the actors again, but the actors in the core roles of the rumor have resigned, and the plan will naturally not be implemented.
Again, the attitude of Renly and Diesel is also a serious problem.
On the one hand, Diesel is extremely tough and insists on, Lan Li must not return to the "Degree and Excitement/Emotion" series, otherwise he will resign; on the other hand, Lan Li is extremely cold, and refuses everything while understatement. The compromise came out categorically, even showing a gesture of disdain.
What's more, because of the existence of Lanly, actors such as Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez began to become tough, taking the initiative to stand out and actively fighting for more rights; and the stubborn Van Die Searle also refused to compromise. There were many disputes and conflicts between the two sides, and the shooting of "Degree and Excitement/Emotion 6" became extremely difficult.
The reason why it is complicated is that it is difficult to sort out the entanglement of personal connections and interests. It can be said that it affects the whole body. The reason why it is simple is that, in the final analysis, it is the choice of interests, "degree and excitement". /Love" series is the most profitable project of Universal Pictures at the moment. In order to maintain the stability of the project, Lang must make a trade-off.
He chose Diesel.
In the final analysis, this is still a decision between the balance of interests.
In addition, Lanli is not a difficult object that is easy to get along with and negotiate. The industry has long been known for being picky about scripts, polishing roles, and tricky projects. As one of the helms of the six major film companies, Lang did not intend to use his hot face to post Lan Li's cold / fart / stock.
Or, in other words, the title of this paper can be changed to "On how to cause a chain reaction tsunami because of the failure of the cooperation of a work." The matter has reached the present stage, even Lan Li and Lang themselves did not expect .
For the layman, this seems incomprehensible; but for the insider, this is really simple—
In this world, without anyone, the earth still revolves. The same is true in Hollywood.
Therefore, when Universal Pictures began to prepare to restart the "Jurassic Park" project, there was no Renly's name on the actor's candidate list. To be precise, Lang eliminated Lan Li's name.
It’s just that Ron Meyer missed a bit: Steven Spielberg was very fond of Renly and invited him in person; while Renly showed enough interest in restarting the project, even if it was not a hit, it was Also not far away. A new round of interest game was officially launched.
As a top producer in Hollywood for more than 30 years, Steven can't understand the careful thinking of his old friends. But in his opinion, Lang's vision and vision are too limited. It is impossible to see a larger blueprint, focusing on the small Hui Xiaoli in front of him, lacking the courage of Robert Iger and Barry Meyer.
What is the most important thing for the male protagonist of a commercial film?
It's not acting, not age, rank, or even gender, but personality charm.
Sigourney Weaver from the "Alien" series, Harrison Ford from the "Indiana Jones" series, Tom Cruise from the "Mission Impossible" series, Will Smith from the "Men in Black" series, Jennifer Lawrence of the "Hunger Games" series, these characters-or actors, what they have in common lies in their personal charm and successfully shines on the big screen.
Now restart the "Jurassic Park" series, they need a charming actor to lead!
In Steven's view, among the young actors, Lanly's style is unique, and no one can match or compare.
The current social trend has gradually evolved into "the brain is sex/sense", and wise and mature charm is becoming an essential element of actors, and in the two works of "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Degree and Excitement/Love 5" , Lan Li not only shows the charm of the brain, but also goes a step further, without losing the tough and iron-blooded style in the elegance, completely hormonal, and deduces the unique temperament belonging to Lan Li.
On the big screen, this has proven to be successful, and it has become a new definition of sex/sense that leads the market trend.
Choosing Renly as the actor temporarily named "Jurassic Park: Extinction" project, in Steven's view, this is undoubtedly the perfect choice, the real key should be Renly's wishes.
This young actor has a unique vision for the selection of works, and all the works he has starred in so far have never failed. Even if it is "off", it has also won the support and pursuit of a large number of audiences. This is the best proof; and for commercial films Being picky is even more famous, even Steven has heard of it many times.
If Lan Li expresses interest in restarting the project, this is undoubtedly a good start. At least it can ensure that young people of generation x and y are willing to enter the cinema and watch this work. The card of childhood feelings is correct. Even Steven, as the director, recognized Lan Li’s vision of film selection, let alone an ordinary audience?
But now, his old friend is still looking forward and backward, hesitant, it is almost powerless to complain.
So today Steven went out in person and asked about Lan Li's performance intentions first.
Now, after receiving a positive and affirmative response, Steven's mood has also become brighter, and it is rare to take the initiative to start a conversation, revealing more information.
"In fact, we thought about letting Harrison play. But he didn't have much interest. The box office loss of'Indiana Jones 4'made him more cautious." Steven shrugged slightly. "But, I have no way to blame him. After all, he is now at the age of retirement. Acting in movies is more of a hobby than an adventure."
"After discussion, we still tend to have young actors as the protagonists of this restart work." Steven's words paused slightly and fell on Lan Li.
Lan Li chuckled slightly, "I'm afraid, am I too young?"
A self-deprecating joke ~lightnovelpub.net~ immediately made Steven laugh happily, "'The Edge of Tomorrow' succeeded, didn't it?"
"But "Jurassic Park" is not a "game of the brave"." Lan Li's ridicule really made Steven clapped his hands and laughed, and the hearty laughter did not conceal his excitement and excitement in the slightest.
"Game of the Brave" is a classic work released in 995. Robin Williams led the star. The role he played was trapped in a game as a child for twenty-six years; he waited until Chris The fourteen-year-old girl played by Teng Dunst and her brother opened the game again, which released the role played by Robin, and then they had to complete the game to get rid of the curse.
Although the protagonist of "Game of the Brave" is Robin, the whole core is relatively childhood and young, which satisfies every child’s childhood fantasy. If you are trapped in a game, it will What will be born?
At this time, using the "Game of the Brave" to compare "Jurassic Park", in fact, Lan Li is mocking himself as "too young", so that every movie starring in it is regarded as a teenager's work. Last summer, "Edge of Tomorrow" was dubbed another "Hunger Games" by the media, even if there is no connection between the two.
Steven caught Lan Li’s burden in an instant, and liked it very much, and nodded again and again, "Boy, are you sure you are only twenty this year? Not forty?"
Either "Game of the Brave" or "Jurassic Park", these are all classics of the 90s, and for Lan Li, who was born in 1999, this is too long.
Lan Li spread his hands, "I am an old movie fanatic, I admit."
