The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1227: Pick 1 in a million
Know your own affairs.
Lan Li knew that he was a maverick freak, and he was very picky about his behavior and life. If he replaced any other agent, the two parties might have already quarreled; not to mention, he was very critical of art films and professional performances. He insisted on repeatedly giving up performance opportunities in commercial films, which is unacceptable for most agents.
It is precisely because of Andy Rogers that Renly is now Renly.
Therefore, after the expiration of the two-person brokerage contract, after experiencing so many disturbing accidents and noises, Lan Li reluctantly cut the mess quickly and completed the contract renewal work with Andy as soon as possible.
"It is my honor to have you as my agent." This sentence, Lan Li is sincere.
Andy's words stuck slightly.
To be honest, he is still a little uneasy and worried. After the "Edge of Tomorrow" North America swept a thousand troops by 500 million, the two works "Gravity" and "Drunk Country Folk Songs" were actually selected by Lan Li himself. The work of Andy is actually a negation of Andy's work. Although the two people completed the renewal of the contract, Andy's work was not in place.
After "Drunk Country Folk Songs" was filmed, Andy has been planning for the future of Lan Li, but after two months of planning and preparation, Andy finally decided to stay aground and deliberately consider and plan for Lan Li, hope Lan Li can devote to the rest of the long holiday. Andy is bound to have regrets, but for the sake of long-term development, he made the decision with an iron fist.
Now, the "Burst Drummer" project has suddenly emerged out of thin air...
Andy looked at Lan Li puzzledly, "You mean..."
Lan Li gently expressed his affirmation, "I will still take a good rest for a while as originally planned. The'Burst Drummer' project is only a recommendation. Damien Chazele is a very talented young man. To be honest, I really like the "Burst Drummer" project. If it is a few months in advance or a few months later, I am very happy to participate in it, but not now."
Andy was taken aback for a while, deep in his heart couldn't help taking a breath of light, but after reacting, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Are you sure? I thought that this project is absolutely none other than you, really. It's perfect for you. Why don't you play the role?"
"Ha." Lan Li laughed blankly, "Andy, so do you want me to play, or don't you want me to play?"
Andy's smile stayed on his mouth, he stiffened slightly for a moment, and then he reacted, shrugging helplessly, and looked at Lan Li depressedly, "Now you realize how difficult you are to deal with a customer. Isn’t it? If I’m not careful, I stunned myself, and even the established policy has gone off track.
"Yes, I know." Lan Li said calmly in agreement.
Andy nodded in agreement, "So, how do you want to recommend this project? Just as an introducer or as a producer?"
"The difference?" Lan Li asked puzzledly.
Although Lan Li has been in Hollywood for a long time and has enough knowledge about film production and personal connections, in the final analysis, he is an actor, a pure actor, and he has limited knowledge of production and publicity related matters. The interest is really not big, he is more keen to study performance than to master the power.
"The difference in literal meaning." Andy explained simply, "Introduction, that is to build a bridge, and the rest depends on their own good fortune; production, that is the guarantor, I just said,'Lan Li- Hall', for Hollywood, it is now not just an actor's name, but also a guarantee of the quality of the work and a guarantee of selection vision."
Lan Li understood it in an instant, and Steven Spielberg of last night's Oscar night could not help appearing in his mind.
"If you are willing to participate in the production process of this work as a producer, then it does not take a few days for the progress of the project to be visible." Andy continued, "but the quality of the work and the level of director , Has an impact on your reputation. After all, you are not Spielberg now. Once you participate in the field of producers, you need to be more cautious in selecting works."
Lan Li pursed the corner of his mouth slightly, "I believe Damien Chazele, and I believe this is a masterpiece."
Andy showed a look of surprise, "Really? The recommendation is so high?"
"Or, you think I am an enthusiastic fighter dedicated to promoting the independent film industry." Lan Li asked with a smile.
Andy nodded seriously, "I always think so. Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen, they have always hoped that you can return to Park City again to help the Sundance Film Festival to a higher level." "Zuixiang Folk Songs" is just a starting point. They need more young blood to participate in the production of independent films."
Lan Li chewed carefully.
"But if you think about it seriously, you are an actor, a pure actor, and you don't really have much energy for the industry exhibition. To show your support and affirmation for independent films with practical actions is the best example force." Andy Then he added, "Just like'Take off' and'Drunk Country Folk Songs', your actions themselves are the best support."
Since the Heather-Cross Foundation, Lanly has understood that the reason why public figures are rare is that their every move may have a strong social influence. Whether they are in the original intention or bathed in the spotlight, their There must be a corresponding burden on the shoulders.
The same is true for the independent film industry.
A smile appeared in Lan Li’s eyes, "Honestly, are you Oprah Winfrey? Such inspirational words really don’t seem like my agent would say it. I thought you would encourage me to take it. Make some commercial films and try to fill your pockets in the best years of your career as much as possible."
Andy again agreed with his jaws, "Yes, I do think so. But, as an actor's professional image, this is also one of your great advantages, just like Daniel Day Lewis, I don't want to To easily waste this advantage, I am a businessman and I always know how to maximize benefits."
The honesty of Chi Guoguo made Lan Li chuckle happily.
"So, if I'm willing to take over now, which one are you going to recommend?" Lan Li curiously explored.
"Are those projects just now?"
"Yes, those items just now."
"'Star Wars'." Almost without any hesitation, Andy just blurted out directly like this. The speed was so fast that Lan Li was even slightly frightened. Wei frowned and expressed doubts, "No need to think?"
Andy simply nodded his head to express affirmation. The hands placed on his belly patted briskly, as if he was playing a drum, "Lam Li, I am an American, and you are a British. You don't know about'Star Wars'. The powerful influence of American pop culture is a symbol of the era. After thirty years of precipitation, it has penetrated into every corner of society in all aspects, and every actor is eager to be a part of this work."
"Not as an actor, but as a movie fan. It is an honor to just participate in this work." Andy said frankly. The excitement between the eyebrows can hardly be concealed, just like Lan Li presents his beloved movie project. In general, "I know that if you participate in it, more often than not, it may just become a symbol in the work. No one can overcome the charm of'Star Wars' itself, but I still hope you can play it."
Just like Natalie Portman, although she appeared in the "Star Wars Prequel" series, she can only be regarded as a part of the project, and the actor's personal charm has completely fallen into the role and story.
There was a hint of interest in Lan Li’s eyes, "This is the first time you have gaffeed since we met." Andy expressed strong doubts. Lan Li could only change his words and said, "For the gaffe of the movie project, it is impossible to have no actors. Replaced, likewise, there is no movie project that is irreplaceable, but'Star Wars' is not the same."
Andy did not deny, spreading his hands, "'Star Wars' is the reason why I became an agent. I can't participate in it as an actor because I have no talent, but I always look forward to it, I can become this work. Part of it."
"Harrison's brokerage contract, you took the initiative to win it?" Lan Li's mind flashed, thinking of this matter.
Harrison Ford, also an actor under Andy.
It’s rare to see ~lightnovelpub.net~ Andy's face showed a shy embarrassment, his chubby cheeks flushed slightly, and he scratched the back of his head uncomfortably. "When I first saw Harrison, I was It's like a fanatical star chaser, and even made a joke. But I believe that Harrison has long been used to it."
From "Star Wars" to "Indiana Jones", Harrison is definitely a generation idol, and his powerful influence is unparalleled.
Recall that in 2o15 of the last life, the box office miracle created by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in North America was a full US$936 million, which was almost a single region of film history, and the cumulative box office exceeded one billion. His work, such a feat, is enough to make everyone amazed.
"But you won't play Star Wars, will you?" After the remembrance was over, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Andy's mouth.
Lan Li shrugged slightly, "For me, the most culturally shocking work is not'Star Wars', nor'Doctor Who' and'Holmes'." He would never tell Andy, it should be. "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", otherwise it will expose the inconsistency of age and age, "But I am an actor, I am willing to open up the possibilities, who knows? Maybe I will become an actor. Jedi, may the force be with you."
"Haha, even though I know you are showing politeness. But...May the Force be with you." Andy showed a very serious expression, and said seriously, just like performing to Lan Li, "Star Wars" For Andy, it is the source of enthusiasm.
Lan Li is not sure, when "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is released at the end of 2o17, whether Andy will be as angry and sad as countless loyal fans.
