The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 2116: Thanksgiving schedule

As Andy said, no one can refuse Lan Li.

Even if the director or producer is not interested in Lan Li, he will try his best to fight for the role as long as Lan Li takes a fancy to the role. If he still fails to reach a cooperation after doing his best, then Lan Li can let go without regret. At least he tried. But for now, there is no record of failure.

Oggs... did not immediately nod his agreement, but he was not able to refuse completely. He was a persistent director, and his stubbornness was not inferior to Lan Li; but even so, Ogus had to admit that Lan Li was very The thinking of the role really brought him a lot of inspiration and showed his unique texture as an actor.

During that meeting, from the beginning to the end, Lan Li did not mention "I am the most suitable actor for the role", "I sincerely hope to be able to play this work", nor refute Oggs's reasons for rejecting Andy. , But sincerely and intensively exchanged his views on the role of the script. The professional attitude of the whole process made Oggs admired.

After the meeting, Oggs found that it was not difficult to find that Lanly did not need to refute at all. The reasons he used to reject Andy were actually his presuppositions for the role of David, but if this presupposition is If it is incomplete, or even wrong, can he still reject Lan Li?

Oggs didn't know the answer for the time being.

He needs a little time, some time to revise the script and reimagine, some time to determine the main line to brighten the core, some time to rebuild and polish and repair, just like Lan Li’s words, "You have to figure it out, after the movie is over , What emotion do you want the audience to feel, hope or despair".

He needs time.

What's more, even if Oggs has now determined his ideas and sincerely hopes that Renly will join, they still have many problems to face:

Leaving aside the schedule, co-actors, producer powers, etc., pay is a very intuitive focus.

According to the original plan, hiring Jason Clarke to play the leading role would only cost US$300,000. Now Oggs is thinking about the replacement actors, all of whom are paid less than 200,000-Rachel Weisz Actors such as Ben-Wishshaw and Léa-Sedoo are all regulars of independent films. Although they are well-known, they are of high quality and low price. As for Lan Li, Oggs is not sure.

Of course, there are a lot of industry rumors about Lan Li, and Lan Li has indeed appeared in many independent art films, and the remuneration has never been a problem; but it must be noted that all these things happened before 2014!

At the beginning of this year, the two works of "Rogue One" and "Jurassic World" signed contracts with Lan Li successively, and set the industry's remuneration benchmark successively, which also made Lan Li truly the first person in the industry; now, if " "Lobster", as Lan Li's first literary and artistic work since then, how should the pay?

One million dollars?

This sounds really outrageous. But if it is higher, Oggs is reluctant, because the investment in the entire film is only 4 million euros, of which a quarter is used to pay for the actors' remuneration, the staff behind the scenes, and the fees of the cast members. Wait, he really doesn't have much balance left for Lan Li.

In a sense, Oggs really disliked Lan Li for being too big.

All in all, the cooperation between Lanly and "Lobster" has not yet been finalized. In the next period of time, further consideration is needed to find a suitable solution.

Whether it is the originally planned "Rogue One" or the newly planned "Lobster", they will not be able to start up in October. October was originally Lan Li's short holiday.

Lanly first returned to New York and appeared at the New York Film Festival; then went to Mount Sinai Hospital and saw Anne Silliman and other little guys again after a long absence; then followed the Heather-Cross Foundation to visit Several hospitals, visiting children who are seriously ill.

In addition, Lan Li also ran to Banff National Park in Canada, where he spent a week, camping, hiking, rock climbing, etc., truly far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, let the mood settle down, and temporarily leave everything behind. -Including "lobster", including performances, including London, everything is left in the busy traffic of the city, simply enjoying the good time between oneself and nature.

If it wasn't for the work coming again, Lan Li would be very happy to stay in the national park for a while, golden autumn in October, that is the most gorgeous and fascinating period of Canadian red maple, walking through it, it is like wandering in an oil painting. The beautiful land is unbelievable.

Red, yellow, and green are all mixed together, splendidly and publicly spread all over every corner of the line of sight, and then spread out mightily, as if the flames are in full bloom all over the mountains, and then those gray, black, cyan and blue In this way, it brightens little by little, and the whole world is reminiscent of an overturned paint tray, but an irreplaceable masterpiece has been smeared. Who can refuse?

If possible, Lan Li is happy to disappear here for a month, truly open his arms, embrace nature, and enjoy life; but unfortunately, Lan Li still has to return to the city, because Thanksgiving Day is approaching, and the "Super Heroes" The premiere is calling.

After the summer season ended, the North American market entered the most deserted autumn season of the year, but obviously, this year's schedule is slightly abnormal.

There have been many large-scale productions of Waterloo in the summer file, and the overall market performance is still slightly lower than expected; but in the autumn file, there have been many topical works unexpectedly, and the box office level and discussion enthusiasm throughout the period have created not much. The new high has made North America a sound of consternation.

The first is another work in the youth adaptation boom, "Moving Labyrinth". The male protagonist is led by Dylan O'Brein (-O'Brein), who has become famous with the TV series "Young Wolf", and accidentally detonated the big screen. Although the media reputation only lingers on the edge of passing, the box office data is very good:

The premiere weekend easily reached the top with 32 million U.S. dollars, and the current cumulative box office has reached 98 million, which is about to exceed 100 million. For teen films with an investment cost of only 34 million and without any big-name stars, the results are really good; at the same time, it has also triggered a lot of discussion on social networks, and many actors from child stars have once again become the hot spot— —Don’t forget, this is still a deserted autumn stall.

Then the middleweight action movie "The Eunuch" starring Denzel Washington made a big hit. The box office data is a small surprise compared to the fall season; but the real focus is still here. Halloween schedule.

The "Disappearing Lover" directed by David Fincher and starring Ben Affleck is both popular in word-of-mouth and box office. With the unparalleled discussion heat on social networks, the overall performance of the market at the box office easily surpassed that of "social networks", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" won the championship on the weekend of their premiere, and they raked in $137 million in just five weeks. This has become the highest grossing box office of David's career. s work.

More importantly, this work has already entered the awards season vision.

"Annabel", the rumor of the movie "The Soul" series, also performed well. The premiere weekend and "The Lost Lover" were inextricably killed. In the end, it was less than $400,000 behind and finished second, although the follow-up trend was still a horror movie. After all, he has not been able to keep up with the "disappearing lover", but the income of 8,000 US dollars so far has been profitable compared with the ultra-low production cost of 6.5 million US dollars.

What's more, the box office performance in overseas markets is also very gratifying.

Then, the small-cost action movie "Quick Chase" accidentally detonated media reputation. Last year, Keanu-ri, who was basically regarded as ruining the actor's career because of the loss of the two works of "Tai Chi Man" and "Forty-Seven Ronin" to vomit blood. Weiss, starred in this work with super low pay——

Because Chad-Stahelski, one of the two directors, had served as Keanu's stand-in as early as the "Life and Death" period, and he had a good relationship. As a result, he didn't expect it, but it became a turning point in Keanu's career. After the reappearance of the light, the box office also gave a small surprise after the big word of mouth.

The autumn stalls that were once deserted to no one's attention, although the ones that should be on the streets are still on the streets, Universal Pictures invested 70 million US dollars to create the "Dracula First Year" is still a mess, and Robert Downey Jr. leads The starring "Papa Judge" also made a splash; but this year, there have been many works that sparked discussion topics, making September and October present a completely different scene, which is indeed very rare.

Undoubtedly, last year’s “gravity” was the key to reversing the whole situation. Now Hollywood studios are beginning to develop more scheduling effects throughout the year~lightnovelpub.net~ However, the market was still relatively deserted in the last week of October. The "Death Divination" that was released the following week won the championship with a weekend box office of 10 million U.S. dollars. The cumulative box office of 34 million in the two weeks of the show was a small profit compared to the investment of 5 million. Universal Pictures reduced some losses.

In addition to "Death Divination", the newly released works "Before I Go To Sleep" and "The 10th Anniversary of Chainsaw Terror" all hit the street. The former is composed of Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth, and Marc S The three main protagonists of Trang (Mark-Strong) led the performance; the latter was a special screening held on the 10th anniversary of the release of "Chain Saw". All seven series of films were re-screened for a week, but unfortunately, the market was not able to give enough Reaction.

The entire market seems to have returned to the normal rhythm of the autumn stalls, extremely dull. This is all for a reason, because next week the North American market is about to usher in the first blockbuster work of the holiday schedule, "Big Marine Corps", which will not only announce the holiday program, but also a sign of the end of the autumn file——

The "Big Hero 6", with an investment cost of up to 165 million, is undoubtedly the seed player that Disney dominates the family box office market at the end of each year, and other movie works have retreated.
