The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1232: Dazzled
Robert Iger?
Damien Chazelei was full of question marks. After thinking about it, he always felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Among his familiar friends, he could not find a corresponding character. Out of sight, he caught Justin Heviz’s questioning sight. He covered the handset of the phone with his left hand and said with his mouth, "Robert Iger?"
Justin was choked by his beer suddenly, coughing violently, trying to explain, but was out of breath, and could only give hints more bluntly: Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse.
Robert Iger, Disney’s executive officer, took over as Michael Eisner, and was the driving force behind a Disney frenzy in the North American film market. He is undoubtedly the top figure in Hollywood at the moment.
Damien blinked, "...cough." As he was about to speak, he was choked by his saliva. He almost overturned the table in front of him and could not help wiping his palms on his trousers thighs. "Mr. Iger, next... good afternoon, yeah, yes, I mean, nice to meet you."
After speaking, Damien closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, his face was depressed, and he couldn't believe his stupidity.
In just three weeks, Damien has met with many top leaders in the industry for dinner, even talking and laughing, but the premise is that this is done under the company of Andy Rogers and even the creative artist agency. Strictly In terms of it, he is just a little shrimp on the side, not too eye-catching at all.
Most of the time, no one specifically mentions the "Burst Drummer" project at all. Even if it is mentioned occasionally, Damien is not the main introducer, and Andy is more responsible for the introduction.
Today, Robert called in person? This...the amount of information is a bit too much. Damien needs a little time to breathe, but the problem is that now the call is still in progress, there is no time or space, Damien feels that he is about to breathe. , Cheeks are swollen and flushed.
Sitting on the opposite side, Justin couldn’t stop coughing. In order to avoid disturbing his friend’s call, he simply turned and left. However, because he was too flustered, his ankle hit the stool, fell off the table with a grunt, and disappeared on the table in an instant. Underneath, a magic trick of "disappearing on the spot" was staged, which was really too funny.
Damien forced himself to calm down, and Robert Ru Muchun/feng’s gentle voice came from the receiver of the phone. The other party fully grasped the initiative. Damien could only nod in a daze, responding to the last sentence from time to time. The call lasted less than three minutes, and then ended the conversation.
Justin finally recovered and climbed back into the chair, unable to manage his embarrassment, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask, "How is it? What did you say?"
Damien also gradually recovered and shrugged, "Nothing."
"What is "Nothing"?" Justin was confused.
"It's literal." Damien let out a long breath. "He just called to greet and greet. Because they were in a meeting, many other people's voices could be heard on the phone, and they mentioned'Burst Drummer' 'I hope to learn more about this work, so I called me."
It's not Robert's private call to Damien, but Disney's project production meeting.
"He hopes to be able to see the full version of the script, and it is best to have some creative inspiration sources and simple explanations of the core of the work." Damien continued, "In addition, he also asked about the cast of cast ideas..." After a short pause, Damien added, "He asked, if Lanly played, which role would it be?"
Justin blinked, "Then how did you answer?"
"I said, Lan Li has no intention to perform for the time being, because he needs a good rest and relaxation for a while." Damien told the truth and explained the specific situation.
"What?" Justin couldn't help but exclaimed, and then patted his forehead heavily, "God, how can they still be willing to invest if you show all the cards so honestly? All of them are aimed at Lan Lilai! Honestly speaking, in Hollywood now, who doesn’t want to cooperate with Lan Lilai?"
The more you talk, the more depressed, the more you talk, the more excited Justin becomes incoherent, "Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, Paramount, Fox Searchlight, and Disney! Man, five! The six major Hollywood studios are enough. Five companies have contacted you! You, you, they...you are like this... God!"
Damien also scratched his head in annoyance, but didn't make such a fuss. "Even if you lie now, they will definitely show it later."
Damien also realized that the major Hollywood studios seemed to have a misunderstanding: The relationship between Renly and "Burst Drummer" is not only a producer, but also an actor.
The difference is that in the past two years, Steven Spielberg's famous producer projects have at least double digits or more, but only two of them have actually directed the tube. As a producer, you may only participate in one of the links; but as a director or an actor, it is completely different to participate in it personally.
Even Damien himself is no exception, from no thoughts to dreams. Now he can't help but conceive. If Lanly starred as Andrew, how the picture and lens should be structured, and how the performance and rhythm should be captured. The more he thinks about it, the more excited he becomes. The thoughts are like weeds, growing wantonly and crazily. .
Looking at Damien with an honest face, Justin could only be defeated, patted his forehead heavily, and sighed up to the sky, "Ah, I can't blame them. Even if it is myself, I can't help thinking. , It should be a very interesting thing to cooperate with Lan Li."
Justin, who graduated from Harvard University, met and became friends with Damien during college. After graduation, the two came to Los Angeles together to seek future exhibitions in the film industry. Damien focuses on screenwriters and directors, while Justin focuses on soundtracks and original tracks.
In order to survive by work, the two kept running back and forth between Los Angeles and New York. In the end, Justin got a job to write the soundtrack for the cable TV series "The-1eague" for a long time, and also once wrote an episode. "The Simpsons" composed the soundtrack.
Justin and Damien's down-to-earth and hard work accumulated, and soon won the opportunity for each other to independently shoot the work "Guy and Madeleine on the Park Bench", but unfortunately, the work did not succeed.
Now, the project of "Burst Drummer" is also the goal of two people working together.
Justin said enthusiastically, "Did you know? Lanly and the Coen brothers collaborated on a work on folk songs. When I was in New York before, I heard that Lanly was involved in the arrangement and creation of all the songs. The live performance was completed and the filming was completed. Not only is he good at guitar, but also his piano skills are outstanding."
As he talked, Justin began to dance and dance with joy, "Imagine that he will play Andrew, and his musical understanding and attainments must have unique insights. This must be very interesting." Suddenly, the excited expression became lonely. "But I don’t know if he is interested. After all, I just finished filming a musical work. Besides, who doesn’t want to collaborate with Lan Li?"
Both Justin and Damien fell into silence. Inexplicably, both seemed to sink deeply into their own thoughts. In the end, Justin straightened up and cheered up again, "Do you have any ideas now?" Which company did you decide to cooperate with? There was no choice in the past, but now there are too many choices, which makes me bothersome.
From zero to complex, now they have too many choices, dazzling. Not to mention those independent film companies, just say that the six major Hollywood film companies, except for Universal Pictures, have all shots, including independent labels such as Fox Searchlight. For Xiaoxi Mi like them In other words, the difficulty of choice has entered the final stage.
Damien leaned back in his chair and stretched out a big lazy waist, "I don't know. Every company sounds very sincere, but I know that they are not for me, nor for the'burst drummer'... …" Otherwise, no one will always care about it before, "They are all here for Lanli, so I think I should leave the decision to Lanli."
"Are you sure?" Justin and Lan Li have never met ~ lightnovelpub.net~ All the words and phrases are from rumors and hearings, it is inevitable that there is still some hesitation, "If Lan Li chooses a company with stronger business interests What about the company? Or is it that Renly started to interfere with your creation? Industry rumors have not always said that Renly is an angular actor, even facing the hot temper of Tony Kaye, he dared to directly refute the director. decision."
"I don't think Lanly would be like this." Damien said simply but firmly, "...I can't describe it. Although I only met him for one night, his body is different from other actors."
It was a special temperament that couldn't be expressed in words, some alienation and some familiarity, and most importantly, Damien felt very comfortable and willing to give up his trust.
"Even if I really face such a situation, I have nothing to say." Damien spread his hands out, "I chose to try my luck on Oscar night, we already know it, don't we? No matter who we meet , We must all try and see, this is our last chance. It’s not Lanly, it’s also someone else, and it’s the same risk."
Justin was slightly stunned, and in the end he could only breathe out a long sigh, nodded in agreement, "Indeed, this is the best choice for us when we meet Lanli." The conversation turned, "I think, in the past. After two years of bad luck and downturn, it's finally time to change. After so long of darkness, all the luck exploded that night."
Otherwise, how could Damien meet Renli?
Damien nodded seriously, "I think so too. That should be my best luck in the past few years."
The good luck belonging to Damien is far from over.
