The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 2154: Hurry up
Oggs always believes that Renly's joining may have a devastating change in the artistic creation of the entire film, which is also the root cause of his rejection.
In fact, not only Ougs, not only Europe, but the entire film industry is prone to misunderstandings——
Now in the entire industry, there are absolutely few actors who can have such a powerful Lan Li, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, etc., and these actors all control the producer power of the crew. Whether they interfere and how to interfere is a personal question, but they do have the ability to change the movement of the entire crew; then, after Lan Li reaches this level, the possibility of completely letting go of it is very low, even if Lan Li is unwilling. Taking power, the brokerage industry and the film industry will also force Lan Li to take power.
This is what it means to seek a job in its place. If Lanly refuses to be in power, what else can other actors who want to be in power do? There are many similarities between producer power and remuneration level. Lan Li can retain his own personality, but cannot resist the power of the entire industry.
What's more, Lanly also founded Sisyphus Pictures, and has participated in the production of "Nightcrawler", "Blasting Drummer", "Interstellar" and "Jurassic World", plus "speed and excitement" Love 7" and the behind-the-scenes intervention of the Gaiden series also demonstrate Lan Li’s ambition and ability for the position of the producer. He has undoubtedly become one of the most powerful top producers in Hollywood today, even without it. One:
After all, Lan Li's career is undefeated so far.
Therefore, Oggs cannot be blamed. The entire film industry around the world has produced an assumed posture: Lan Li is the biggest brand today, so he should enjoy the corresponding treatment; as to whether Lan Li is humble and whether he cooperates Smooth, for outsiders, they have no way of knowing, this is also the main source of prejudice and misunderstanding-from ignorance.
"...I thought you were trying to control the creative initiative."
Ougs was still an honest person after all, and he honestly stated his thoughts, which made Lan Li a little helpless, but also a little funny.
To be honest, it doesn't feel good to be misunderstood and wronged, but this is also one of the negative effects of "being overwhelmed by the cold". This is not the first and it won't be the last.
Lan Li chuckled lightly, "Trust me, if I try to snatch, you won't have a chance to resist." The strong dominance revealed in the understatement made Ogus choke directly.
If you have a strong personality, you might have turned the table towards Lan Li at this time; but Oggs is a gentle character. He was frustrated and depressed for a long time, and in the end he couldn't say a reason. He knew, Lan Li. Seriously, if Sisyphus Pictures bought out the production copyright, and then compulsorily modify the script, or arrange to participate in the cast, then Ogus would have almost no ability to resist.
Are similar situations rare in Hollywood?
Regardless of the countless ghosts in the hands of the early film and television managers of the six major film companies, there are countless art films that Weinstein Pictures have adopted such a method to kill, and there are more than a dozen or more appearing almost every year. For Harvey Weinstein, all works of art that cannot create value during the awards season are meaningless. Even if he destroys an independent filmmaker's life effort, he will not feel any guilt.
"...You won't, do you?" Ougs held back for a long time, finally said a word, then looked at Lan Li nervously, lest Lan Li could say the answer of denial.
Lan Li didn't have any special expressions, just staring at Ogus quietly. The calm expression made Ogus panic a little bit, and he lowered his gaze, avoiding Lan Li's gaze, but Then he raised his eyes again, hoping to find the answer in Lan Li's eyes.
Then, the smile on Lan Li’s mouth rose up, a little helpless—sometimes, he also felt anger, but after anger, he was helpless. He thought that he had shown enough sincerity. In the long discussion just now, He has already expressed his attitude and position.
But the reality is that misunderstandings still exist after all. In many cases, he can't even speak out the excuse; more often, the excuse is meaningless.
Facing the simplicity and honesty of Oggs, "No, I won't." Lan Li gave an affirmative answer, and then calmly explained, "What I am good at is still acting, not a screenwriter, not a director." Lan Li can clearly feel that Oggs relaxes, "Some of what I have explained may be applicable, but some are not. In the end, you still need to complete the integration, and finally tell me how to perform."
"Oggs, I'm an actor, and I'm just an actor." After speaking, Lan Li's mouth raised a small smile, but a solitude slipped across his eyes.
If even European art directors can't believe him, then Hollywood is even more impossible. This makes Renly think of the cautious attitude of the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival. They have always hesitated about Sisyphus Pictures and the Don Quixote Channel, and they are more or less related to Renly and Hollywood. The conflict between business and art is always a key issue that cannot be run-in.
Oggs is a delicate and emotional otaku. He is keenly aware of Lan Li's mood swings, but he can't analyze the specific content. He vaguely guessed:
Could it be that his own words hurt Lan Li?
But the mixed emotions were fleeting, and before Ogus had time to savor it, he disappeared in a blink of an eye, as if it had never happened.
"So, what do you think? Can my idea burst out some inspiration? Or, you have other suggestions for modification?" Lan Li brought the topic back again, his calm and calm posture made Oggs His thoughts are back on track.
"Uh...I need some time." Oggs hesitated for a while. The first reaction was like this, but he immediately realized that there was an ambiguity in this sentence, "I mean, I need to modify the script. I need a little time to modify the script. Your idea is very good, and it gave me a lot of inspiration in character setting."
"David can be divorced or single, but more importantly, the reason for the divorce, as well as his personality, will all have an impact on the development of subsequent stories and the characters' lines and reactions. This This means that the script may require substantial and extensive revisions."
Oggs grabbed his hair with some excitement and some annoyance, and scratched his head anxiously—the kind full of joy, "My original plan was to start shooting in December, and we would stay in England or Ireland. , Using the winter here to complete the shooting, we use natural light as much as possible to create that gloomy and cold atmosphere, pure and natural, but if you need to modify the script now, hoo, I don’t know. Is this too rush? It took me nearly a year before and after to complete this script, and it took me nearly three months to revise it."
Lan Li did not respond, because these were the director's own work, and he did not need to intervene-unless he became a producer and the director asked for help.
"Oh, sorry, I started talking to myself again." Ougs soon realized that he had committed the problem again, and then let out a long sigh, "I think that after the script has been revised, it will definitely be a surprise. New, but the problem now is how full of details of many characters should be. I don’t have a clear idea. It seems that the characters are full of vitality. It is not my setting, but the characters have their own development."
"Do you think we can modify the script while shooting? I mean, we can do it at the same time, sit down and discuss when necessary, discuss the development of the plot and the changes in the characters, or do you think we should finish the script after the script is completed? , What about shooting again?"
Oggs raised his gaze and asked Renly's opinion.
"I haven't tried it, but I think this is a very interesting challenge." Lan Li told the truth-in fact, not all directors have scripts, just like the famous Jia/wei-Wang.
When filming works such as "Spring/Light/Xiaoxie" and "2046", the actors didn’t have a script. They didn’t know what they were performing. Apart from the director, no one knew the plot and context of the story. But in fact, even the director himself does not have a complete script, basically just shoot wherever he thinks of; every day, the actors get a few lines and some emotions before they start filming, and then they start shooting directly. At that time, the actor didn't know what his role was doing.
Writing scripts while filming is indeed not very common in Hollywood's mature assembly lines, but it is not uncommon. It depends mainly on the director's style; there are countless cases where scripts are modified while filming.
But ~lightnovelpub.net~ Lan Li has never experienced such a situation before, even if it was "detached" at the beginning, Tony Kaye only constantly adjusted his emotions based on the script, and the actor had a clear understanding of the whole story and the characters. ; If you adjust the lines on the spot, or even create the plot direction on the spot, you will have higher requirements for the actors, which is another form of performance.
To be honest, Lan Li was a little eager to try.
After Chao/Wei-Liang Hezi/Yi-Zhang and other actors filmed Jia/Wei-Wang’s work, they all complained, and even publicly stated that they would never pick him up again, because it was indeed a terrible one. The torture; but the next time the director calls, they still show up honestly.
Now Lanli is a little yearning for this kind of "torture", which is different from all previous performance experiences. On-site performance may be able to trigger different creative inspirations, which is bound to be a very interesting thing.
But looking forward to it, Lan Li still needs to ask one thing, "Oggs, what do you mean now is, are you going to formally invite me to perform? You have given up Jason Clark’s idea and are willing to use me. ?"
