Andy untied his tie and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt, but he couldn't help stiffening. He raised his head and looked at Lan Li in front of him, "Why do I feel weird?"

At this time Rooney just walked into the restaurant, put two cups of coffee in front of Lanly and Andy, and said jokingly, "If you say that, does it mean that I should avoid avoiding it? Keep it for the two of you. Next...'private' spaces."

Andy looked at Rooney, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm a little bit-still too tired, the tight nerves finally let go, now the reaction is a bit slow, and then looked at Lan Li, only to find the corner of Lan Li's mouth It rose up, and it didn't seem to mean to relieve him, which made Andy shook his head helplessly, "I'm a guest, okay?"

Rooney said with a smile, "Then I will leave some room for the guests." Then, Rooney cast a look at Lan Li, turned and left the dining room, returned to the living room sofa and sat down.

Andy stared at Lan Li, "What I am most curious about right now is, is it because you two are too similar to come together, or because they gradually become more and more similar after coming together?"

A smile came out of Lan Li's eyes, but he didn't answer. Instead, he returned to the topic, "From your reaction, the conversation this afternoon was not so smooth."

"No, in fact, the conversation process was smoother than expected." Andy's answer surprised Lan Li. "Bob Iger is a decisive figure. As long as he decides, to a certain extent, he is willing to give up some of his interests. To promote the entire project, his courage and courage are above me."

Andy admitted frankly that he was inferior to Bob, which was an accident.

Perceiving Lan Li's surprised gaze, Andy tapped his fingers on the table lightly, "This is not a shame. He is obviously not a fool to be in charge of Disney's handsome seal; on the contrary, this has proven his ability. This is not the first time I have dealt with him, but it is the first time that a real interest game has been launched. His decisiveness and control have really left a deep impression on people, and it can even be said to be oppressive. I can feel it. To the gap."

Lan Li pursed the corner of his mouth, and gently chin to express his approval.

Andy couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then asked in amazement, "Aren't you going to comfort me? Praise and praise me, tell me that I am not that bad, comfort my wounded heart, and so on."

"Do you need it?" Lan Li asked rhetorically.

Andy opened his mouth, trying to explain a few words, but in the end he was defeated. It was not the first day he knew Lanly, so he returned to the topic, "This time the cooperation plan, in fact, we are Passive."

In order to counterbalance Universal Pictures, Lan Li took the initiative to bring Warner Bros., Sony Classic and Disney into the occupation. This also means that Disney has more initiative and they can decide whether to enter the game.

"Although this passivity is not obvious, we are not indispensable to Disney. Even if there is no real project cooperation, only a positive attitude between us and Disney is enough. These rumors are enough to create the situation we expect. But... …Disney does have a certain advantage. But in today’s conversation, Bob almost gave up this advantage."

Andy's words made Lan Li raise his eyebrows lightly, revealing an interested look.

"Many details and links can be seen. He has already presupposed and considered all the potential possibilities in advance. In his eyes, my game is completely an expected means. The frustration is really indescribable." As he spoke, there was a slight contemplative expression between Andy's eyebrows, and his speech speed was obviously slowed down.

Such Andy is a bit strange, it can be seen that the confrontation with Bob made him feel a higher level of conspiracy-some conspiracies have no effect in the face of absolute strength, just like the same force. Generally, that kind of unreasonable absolute strength is an insurmountable barrier.

This is how Disney is now.

From a certain point of view, the same is true of Lan Li.

After Andy shook his mind for a while, the focus of his eyes gathered again, and he continued, "He gave up some of his benefits, and the entire negotiation process far exceeded my expectations. If nothing else, we can get the contract tomorrow. , And then the review and signing process."

"Oh." Lan Li also made an unexpected call, and the progress was so fast... it was amazingly fast, especially when compared with Universal Pictures, it was even more incredible.

Andy nodded and expressed affirmation, making sure that he did not say it wrong, and Renly did not hear it wrong, and then added, "But I tried it out in detail, and there is really no script now. The original characters and story frame have been overturned. Now it needs to be re-created. I suspect that the progress of the script creation is slower than Bob said. I don’t know what happened in the process and need further investigation. So, if you want to sign the contract after reading the script, then we will pay Need to wait."

Lan Li's expression still didn't change much, but he gave his own opinions objectively, "You can ask whether my producer power includes the right to modify the script and the right to make a decision."

Although it is only a script, it is actually a very powerful power. Just like Tom Cruise's control of the "Mission Impossible" series, he can set the script according to his own ideas, not only the proportion of the protagonist and the supporting role, but also the related plot of the protagonist and so on.

To give a simple example, there is often a moral dilemma in art films, such as whether innocent children should be killed, or whether the interests of a small number of people should be sacrificed to perfect the majority of people. In "Batman: The Dark Knight", The Joker created such a moral dilemma for Batman to make a choice.

However, this kind of moral dilemma, not every screenwriter can control it well, and not every actor can interpret it well. If you are not careful, you may get burnt, but it will trigger the audience's backlash. If Tom Cruise is not satisfied, he can change the plot to show the heroic spirit and righteousness of the hero.

The power of the producer is above the screenwriter and the director, just like the nickname of Harvey Weinstein's "Scissorhands", the director cannot break Harvey's thigh; if the crew gave Lan Li such power , That also means that Lan Li is almost on par with Catherine Kennedy.

Lan Li put forward such an opinion, not only a trial, but also a game. Andy's expression was a little weird, "In fact, I did make such a request. Bob did not directly reject it, but bypassed the topic. Later, he said that the script will definitely get your affirmation before it is officially implemented."

This time, Lan Li's expression became a little weird:

There is no direct veto, which means that there is still room for maneuver; and it is implicitly stated that the script is bound to make Lan Li look at it. Even if it is not the right to modify and make a decision, at least he already has the right to make suggestions, which means that Lan Li’s producer The title, even if it is not comparable to Catherine Kennedy, is definitely not a false name.

Disney's concession is definitely not a little bit.

Now Lanly can understand Andy's meaning.

Disney has the upper hand, "Rogue One" also benefited from the aura of the Star Wars series, there is no shortage of actors willing to join; in the face of actors of this level, they need to show respect, but they don't need to bow down, film production The company's innate toughness is still unquestionable; what's more, this is the first time Renly has appeared in the Star Wars series, and naturally there is no privilege when Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp negotiate a sequel.

In other words, take advantage but still maintain courtesy, or even give in. This is really abnormal!

Lan Li raised his eyebrows lightly, without concealing his surprise, "Obviously, they are seeking greater benefits." This is the only reason that can be explained.

Andy nodded in agreement, "I know. But it is precisely because of this that I have exhausted all my mind, I just feel exhausted. Because I can't see Bob's blueprint, nor can I see it. Disney's ambitions. I can't find the familiar sense of security."

The difference in position and position also determines the difference between perspective and field of vision.

The Blue Li Design Bureau encircles Diesel ~lightnovelpub.net~ Diesel can't detect it at all; similarly, Disney’s design bureau uses Blue Li, and Andy can't see the whole situation now.

Furthermore, Renly and Andre built the lofty blueprint for Sisyphus Pictures, and many people in the industry may not be able to see through their intentions.

Lan Li pondered for a moment, and could vaguely perceive Disney's thoughts:

The commercial benefits and market value of the Star Wars series are not inferior to Marvel movies; the characters of Marvel comics are inexhaustible, and Disney can open up industries such as movies, television, and parks, and build a huge Kingdom, presumably they also hope to replicate such a feat in the Star Wars series.

But unfortunately, there are too few "expanding roles" in the Star Wars series. Disney must create more original characters and at the same time be able to firmly capture loyal fans. This is not an easy task. "Rogue One" is the first pathfinder in the Star Wars series of Gaiden. Disney hopes to use Renly to build the Gaiden universe, and then lay the foundation for a kingdom. This also means...they must be more attentive to the characters because of these characters. In the future, it may become a new foothold for attracting money.

Thinking about it this way, things make sense.

There is no need for Bob to be entangled in the partial benefits of Rogue One. All the benefits he “sacrificed” can be recovered through Lan Li. What’s more important is that Bob did not use Lan Li to complete the script. The meaning of completing the role is actually to use Lan Li’s reputation to promote in advance:

Lan Li is the producer, and Lan Li appreciates the script. If the work is successful, then the box office will be a big hit; if the work fails, then Lan Li will back the pot and reduce the loss. Taking Lan Li's undefeated aura of victory in all battles now, the unseen potential benefits are far more than the numbers on paper.

This is the real scheming!
