The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 375: Age disadvantage
The elegant melody flows slowly like moonlight, walking through the quiet darkness, the gurgling sound is like smoke like mist, not abrupt and sharp, but there is a silky texture, lingering in the ink-like black night, It is as if the mist entwined in the emerald green mountains and forests, beautiful and magnificent, so that the mystery and tranquility of the night are stained with a touch of artistic beauty.
That is Bach's unaccompanied cello suite.
The cellphone on the bedside table rang tirelessly, and the cello suite rang again and again. Lan Li turned over and continued to fall asleep in a daze, but the classical melody echoing in the space made him close his eyes and quietly immerse himself in the aural enjoyment brought by the musical notes and scores.
The melody finally stopped.
Lan Li fell asleep again groggy.
The winter in New York is very cold, the whole world is dyed white, revealing the biting cold, just standing on the street for two minutes, the whole person is like falling into the Hudson River, the sharp wind irritates everywhere. With pores and blood, it almost freezes into ice. Such weather is the best time for hibernation.
"Bang bang", there was a dull knock on the door, waking Lan Li again, he closed his eyes tightly, he was lazy, and he didn't mean to say goodbye to the warm bed.
If the visitor is a stranger, knock on the door for a while, and will leave without a response; if the visitor is an acquaintance, they know where the key is.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the knock on the door stopped, and then you could hear the sound of the key opening the door, and the sound of the sliding door was even more noisy. There was a clattering sound, and a cold air swept in and rushed in. The warm and viscous air in the room rushed out, with a crisp sound, and the creamy yellow light slowly fell down, the darkness dissipated like a rolling tide, and the light spread out its tentacles, slowly occupying the entire space within the line of sight .
Andy Rogers took a random look at the house, it was neat and clean. Unexpectedly, there was a mess and abandonment, everything was placed in the original place honestly, even the suitcase that Lan Li had just dragged back from Sundance had been packed, and there was no trace in sight.
With just this scene, he knew that the room had been cleaned up, and he didn't know whether it was Nathan or Matthew, but it was certain that Lan Li was definitely not cleaning it up.
Stepping to the front of the partition screen, and knocking on the wooden door, Andy said loudly, "Lan Li, are you awake?"
The answer to Andy was a moment of silence. He was not in a hurry, and stood quietly. After a few seconds, Lan Li's lazy and hoarse voice came over, "What time is it?"
"Two o'clock in the afternoon." Andy replied simply, "I know today is your vacation time, but before I go to Philadelphia, there are only three hours. There are some things that need to be discussed with you face to face."
"... Give me ten minutes."
Andy nodded, stopped entanglement, turned around and walked towards the hall. Several newspapers from yesterday were placed on the table in the living room. After Sundance ended, the Oscar nomination was announced immediately, and the major news media were all fried.
On the one hand, everyone is condemning the academy for being too conservative. This year’s "Gen Y" performance deserves more recognition; on the other hand, everyone is looking forward to the duel between Natalie and Annette. Many film critics I even look forward to Natalie's victory. The black spots of the double door are one thing, and the expectation of the new generation of forces to take over the inheritance is another.
Of course, the highlights on the Oscar nomination list are far more than that. Major media have begun to produce special topics, analyzing the gains and losses of the first half of the awards season.
For Andy, this year is perfect enough, he really can't ask for more.
Just five months ago, Lan Li just received an Emmy nomination for the "Pacific War", and he also successfully accepted Lan Li’s brokerage contract; now that time flies, Lan Li has not only received the Emmy as Emperor, but also And also won the Sundance Jury Special Award, and even successfully won the first Oscar nomination for best actor, as well as the first commercial film performance that cannot be forgotten.
Even the most daring, arrogant, radical, and most confident top agent, even the top agent of an innovative artist agency, dare not expect to achieve even more exciting results.
Andy once imagined that it would be great if "Buried Alive" could be nominated for an Oscar; Andy had also imagined that it would be great if "Crazy Love" could achieve a breakthrough in independent films. However, when these "imaginations" really came true, Andy was a little frightened, because everything is so beautiful, so beautiful that there is no sense of reality at all.
Therefore, although it is the time when the college public relations is in full swing, every nominee is launching the final sprint for the little golden man; but you can't be too greedy.
Lan Li, who is only 21 years old this year, has only dedicated two film works at present-"Buried Alive" is still his big-screen debut and entered the stage of the Oscar decisive battle. This is an incredible victory. Especially after defeating the "127 hours" James Franco achieved such a result.
Now, almost all the media are hyping the confrontation between Renly and James, and the confrontation between the two since Toronto has reached its peak in the last two days. The media are not afraid of things and continue to fan the flames. If Renly and James can't help but yell at them, it will be truly exciting.
It is conceivable that Lan Li, who became famous in his youth, is already on the cusp of the storm.
At such a moment, it is not so much chasing the ethereal figurine-this year's biggest hot figure is probably Colin Firth, others can hardly contend; it is better to retreat from the rapids and re-invest in the shooting of the work down-to-earth to show more Professional attitude.
So, after the Sundance Film Festival ended, Andy generously gave Lan Li a one-week holiday, away from the shadows of Los Angeles, and let Lan Li relax.
Now, for Andy, Oscar is no longer the first priority, and Renly's next choice of works is, this is really a very headache.
The outstanding performance of three consecutive works has made people's expectations for Renly have risen to a whole new level. The following commercial films such as "Fast and Furious 5" are not only a buffer zone, but also a good touchstone. , But what about after that?
Randomly pick a moderate or even terrible work, and then overthrow all the hard-earned reputations of the three works? Are you eager to choose a commercial film and make a fortune when the momentum is booming, and then waste the reputation that the independent film industry has finally established?
Andy knows that it is extremely difficult to surpass the peaks of "buried alive" and "crazy love", but at least it should be kept on the same level. Andy couldn’t help but remember that Renly was in Telluride before, and he had finalized the "Crazy Love" alone. It can be seen that Renly has his own understanding and attitude towards the script and the characters. Maybe, he can collect some Let Lan Li choose the projects of independent films.
But here is the problem. Whether it is an independent work or a commercial film, there are too few suitable roles for Renly. Because Lan Li is really too young!
Since the main consumer group in Hollywood is the middle class from 30 to 49 years old-regardless of gender, the protagonists of mainstream film works will control their age within this range. There are only a few scripts that belong to young people, and they have to be of outstanding quality, which makes it even more difficult.
Last time, Andy found the two scripts of "Evil Boss" and "Fast and Furious 5", and it took a lot of effort. This is one of the reasons why Andy nodded and agreed with Lan Li to play "Crazy Love"; Now, Lan Li has gone a step further, which has brought great challenges to Andy's selection of scripts.
Lanly's youth has won him rave reviews, but it has also brought more obstacles to his career. If Renly wants to reap higher achievements in the future, Andy must be cautious, and then cautious.
Sure enough, nothing in the world is perfect. Everything is a double-edged sword. The key point is how to look at it and how to use it.
To be honest, if you just choose some youth campus comedy ~lightnovelpub.net~ or a supporting role in a commercial blockbuster, or else a random role in a comedy, this is not a difficult task. Innovative artist agency Andy can find a lot of contacts at his fingertips. But Andy doesn't want to be just, let alone random.
In fact, Lan Li’s performance range is already very broad. In the two works "Buried Alive" and "Fast and Passion 5", Lan Li plays roles in his thirties. Not only is there no problem at all, but he has also been controlled. The film's affirmation.
Therefore, Andy understands that what he needs is to calm down, don't be impatient, choose slowly, and look for it slowly. The truly outstanding works require more patience.
While thinking, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. After a short while, Andy saw Lan Li wearing a simple white T-shirt with black sweatpants, walking over barefoot, her wet hair still dripping with water, that lazy and elegant temperament There is an indescribable taste.
Lan Li walked to the window and opened the blinds. The thin sunlight fell on the white snow and refracted in. The whole room instantly became translucent. Then he walked towards the sofa group, "You came to New York on a special trip," Obviously something important."
Lan Li looked around, "However, I didn't see you bring the script to the door, indicating that it was not a new job; you also didn't let Nathan come over. It shouldn't be a public relations occasion. So, what is the important situation? , You interrupted my hibernation?"
The faintly ridiculous words made Andy couldn't help but smile, nodded gently, expressing affirmation, "I made a special trip here, just want to talk to you about the manager."
"Manager?" Lan Li sat down, and the motion of wiping her hair paused slightly, "What then?" ()
