The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 1760: Long overdue

Although the work exchanges at the Berlin Film Festival failed to make any progress, Renly stayed in Berlin and settled down and devoted himself to the festival.

This time, he did not have any works shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, nor did he become an invited guest. He just participated in the film festival's craze as an audience. Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Lanly has devoted himself to the atmosphere of a film festival without work tasks—at least there is no work on the bright side; this is also a unique experience.

For the Berlin Film Festival, Renly again missed this year's Grammy Awards.

The original soundtrack of "Drunk Country Folk Song" was nominated for the best adapted film and television music album. Before the awards ceremony, this is also an important point to watch: whether Lan Li can continue his strength at the major awards ceremonies and win the Grameen again. Where's the American gramophone trophy?

Now that Lan Li is absent from the awards ceremony, the focus of the topic is a little bleak; however, Justin Timberlake still represented all the crew at the awards ceremony.

In the competition for the best adapted film and television music album, "Drunk Country Folk Songs" competed with "The Freed Jiang Ge", "The Great Gatsby", "Les Miserables", and "Sound City: From Reality to Reel".

In the end, "Drunk Country Folk Song" defeated the most high-profile documentary "Sound City" before the ceremony and successfully won. After the original "Three Kings of Prison Escape", it once again won the first place for the Coen Brothers and T-Ben Bennett. Two Grammy trophies are also Renly's fourth Grammy trophy.

This time, Lanly won the Grammy Trophy as a music producer, which once again proved that the talent of "Don Quixote" is definitely not a passing star. At the concert of "Dream Back to Gaslight Bar" at the end of last year, Lan Li personally confirmed that there is a second album plan, and now a Grammy trophy, once again let loyal Don Quixotes start to look forward to it.

However, the Grammy trophy of the original soundtrack has limited influence. It has not been able to cause too many waves in the turbulent wave of the awards season. After all, compared with EGOT, a phonograph trophy that is not a professional or professional is really not enough to stimulate the majority. The gossip enthusiasm of the people who eat melons.

By the time Renly returned to Los Angeles, February was already halfway through, and the Oscars' craze had spread in the streets and alleys. Even the airport could see Oscars advertising billboards, all signs indicated that this Shi has really entered the final stage of the college public relations.

Leaving the pick-up hall, Lan Li and Matthew saw Nathan who was coming to pick him up.

After ending Sundance’s temporary guest job, Nathan returned to Los Angeles. However, because Renly departed for Berlin, he ushered in a short vacation. Now that the vacation is over, he is back to work again. on.

After getting in the car, Nathan glanced in the rearview mirror and cleared his throat somewhat exaggeratedly, "Lenly, is everything going well in Berlin? I mean, work conditions and cooperation negotiations are going well? I'm on Twitter. I saw on the previous page that you also watched some of the main competition works and had a good chat with the fans. This is a good thing, right? Does this mean that everything is going well?"

Nathan was a little stiff and jerky, but the long list of nagging words seemed extremely dry, more like talking to himself and answering questions.

Matthew cast a grumpy look at Lan Li—not to mention Lan Li, even Matthew could feel the embarrassing air that was almost freezing, watching Lan Li, who was still not fully awake after a long flight. Matthew shook his head lightly, and then met Nathan's gaze, "Speak to the point."

Nathan didn't mind the bluntness of Matthew's words, and nodded honestly, "Oh, oh oh. Andy said, if you are not very tired now, give him a call."

Lan Li gestured to Matthew, "Just ask, what the **** is going on."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Lanly now. The long-distance flight is like a drowsy night asleep, and Lanly’s breathing is always very serious. Every time he wakes up, he needs some time to buffer it. As for the last time I went from Parker Fortunately, it was a short flight from the city back to Los Angeles, otherwise Renly would not be able to cheer up and face Bob Iger immediately.

Matthew didn't say much, took out his cell phone and dialed Andy's phone.

"Hey, Matthew. Is Lanly taking a break?" Andy immediately understood when he saw the caller ID.

"He's right by." Matthew said concisely.

Andy didn’t ask too much. He really couldn’t understand the state of Lanly after the long-distance flight, and immediately got to the point, “It’s not in a hurry, it’s just news from Universal Pictures. You tell Lanly, See what the decision is, and I will start operations later."

Universal Pictures not only maintains the two projects of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Affection" and "Jurassic Park", but also focuses on the overall layout of Thomas Tour and Van Diesel. After strategizing, Ron Meyer has finally made a practical move, which also means that the time to witness the results has arrived, and Andy must also make corresponding follow-up arrangements. Obviously, the matter will not end there.

Through the call, Andy conveyed the ins and outs of the matter to Matthew in a relatively concise manner.

Then Andy was about to hang up, but he didn't want Matthew to say, "Wait a minute." Then he turned his head to face Lanly, "Universal Pictures has made an official offer."

"'Jurassic Park', 20 million U.S. dollars, if the North American box office exceeds 300 million U.S. dollars, then a 10% box office dividend will be added;'Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 8', 10 million U.S. dollars, plus There is a 10% box office dividend. If the North American box office exceeds 300 million U.S. dollars, the dividend ratio will rise to 12%, but only if you need to sign at least one rumored movie, the pay can be slightly increased."

Going around for a long time, pulling back and forth for nearly a year-and the pulling of the "speed and excitement/emotion" series is more than two years, but those entanglements, those pushes, those arguments, all in the end. All went to nothing, reduced to useless work, after all, Universal Pictures chose to bow its head.

Six months in advance, Universal Pictures would be able to complete the cooperation with Renly easily without having to pay such a price at all, and the relationship would not be so embarrassing and rigid; but the most difficult thing in the world is to "foresee the future." ". So, by mistake, the two sides finally came to the current situation.

The amount of information is a bit large, but the simple summary is: In October last year, Andy Rogers gave the quotation, and Universal Pictures all nodded and agreed-20 million US dollars plus 10% box office dividends, officially It surpassed the remuneration offer for the collaboration between Disney and Lanly, "Rogue One", and once again broke the Hollywood remuneration record.

However, the two works of "Jurassic Park" and "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" are still different, because the former is the absolute protagonist, and the latter is a member of the group drama. Naturally, the pay can not be the same.

However, from the point of view of the film remuneration figures alone, among the "speed and excitement/emotion", the proportion of Lan Li's drama is bound to rise sharply, otherwise it will be a loss-making business. Furthermore, this also proved Ron Meyer's choice-Van Diesel's position as the number one producer has finally been dismissed. For others, it may be a natural choice, but for Lang Meyer, it has gone through a lot of hard consideration and entanglement. It is not so much Lang Meyer’s decision, it is better to say that Lanly helped Lang- Meyer made a decision.

Lan Li straightened his waist and leaned on the back of the chair, eyes half-closed, and still maintained a tall and straight posture even in a resting state, but there was a touch of laziness between his eyebrows, and the sun was shining from outside the car window. It's like a sleepy cat, enjoying the leisure time in the afternoon.

Just when Nathan thought Lanly would not speak, he said, "Oh, why?"

"Disney has officially released the industry news, TMZ has reported it, but the official has not officially confirmed it." Matthew briefly summarized what he had just learned from Andy.

If TMZ has already sensed the changes, it means that the industry's top producers have begun to pay attention to the trend. Because this is an initiative released by Disney, the related film remuneration ratio is bound to reveal the news, and gradually began to warm up for the official announcement of the news.

Then things will become clear.

The cooperation between Sisyphus Pictures and Sony Classics is imperative~lightnovelpub.net~ Now only the negotiation of the contract details is left. Andre is still working further with Sony Columbia Pictures and even the Sony General Manager. The company started contact negotiations and looked forward to further cooperation between the two parties.

Warner Bros.'s plans for DC comics also have the name of Lan Li, but these are just catching the wind; the really important focus is still on "gravity", Warner Bros., Weinstein Pictures, Thomas-Picture The confrontation between Seoul in the awards season has begun.

Now it's Disney's turn.

In other words, the situation that Lanly was looking forward to has been accomplished. Now that Thomas Tour and Van Diesel have been roasted on the fire, Ron Meyer can no longer remain silent. As a result, Universal Pictures took action.

All the above situations were actually expected by Lanli. Although there was a slight deviation in the implementation process, the overall direction remained unchanged. With Ren Li’s current reputation and popularity in the industry, it does not take much effort to crush an actor like Van Diesel; even in the face of Thomas Tour, Ren Li can have the upper hand.

The only difference between before and now is: Does Lan Li take this matter seriously?

Lan Li still half-closed his eyes, did not speak, as if he was thinking, and he seemed to have fallen into a sleep state. Only a quiet engine sound was left in the carriage slowly surging.

Matthew was not in a hurry, but waited patiently.

"'Jurassic Park' takes it,' speed and excitement/emotion," said Lan Li.

Universal Pictures spent nearly a year thinking and deliberating over and over again, and the final decision was long overdue; but when the decision came to Lanli, it only took less than thirty seconds to complete the decision.

If Ron Meyer knew, what would his expression look like?
