The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 389: Crazy for shadows
In order to pay dividends for "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5", Andy actually fought against each other, and finally succeeded in opening the situation.
If it is a commercial movie, the box office dividend system is unique, and Lan Li is not involved in it, and cannot deeply appreciate the difficulty of box office dividend; then Lan Li can feel the same for the "Crazy Love" distribution cooperation.
From Harvey Weinstein's attitude, it can be seen that, in many cases, the producers would rather pay more than pay dividends to the actors.
Firstly, it means that if the income is higher, the actor’s income will be higher. This is because of the producer’s benefit; secondly, because the box office dividend itself is also a representative of power, it means that the actor’s income will be higher. Can participate in more decision-making and share the power of the producer.
In any case, the box office dividend is difficult enough, but now, Tony not only gave the box office dividend, but also went further, letting out the DVD dividend-and it was still active, and Lan Li did not even fight for it. Even if it is unthinkable, it is not enough to describe Tony's boldness and directness.
Lan Li knows that the box office and DVDs of "extraordinary" are on the street. Even if the two parts can get a 5% dividend, his final salary will not be much higher, but this is not the point. The point is Tony. Sincerity and focus. Really let Lan Li see that Tony is 100% devoted to the movie.
Of course, you can also see from this small detail. "Transcendence" should have no plans to find other cooperative companies. It may be that Tony's own production company is responsible for the investment and production, so he has the right to share this part of the benefit-his own benefit.
Such idiots are almost extinct in the colorful and glamorous Hollywood.
Compared to Woody Allen, compared to Lan Li himself, Tony is truly "crazy for movies", which makes people admire.
"Do you have any other needs?" After throwing the bomb in a hurry, Tony still looked at Lan Li intently and asked, "Or, the remuneration needs to be discussed further. The remuneration may be more Difficult, but in terms of dividends..."
Looking at Tony's expression, Lan Li laughed blankly, and a low laugh echoed in his chest, "If you continue, you will be bankrupt." In a mocking way, he rejected Tony's kindness.
Tony shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "The opportunities for making money are everywhere, but the opportunities for art should not be missed."
Lan Li nodded, "No one wants to miss the creative inspiration."
This response made Tony laugh, "By the way, I forgot to ask about your schedule." Tony finally remembered this. "Our crew still needs some preparation time and we need to find other actors. However, We are a small independent crew, so we are more flexible."
After pondering for a moment, Tony said hesitantly, "Our expectation is to start up in April, but if we miss April, we will start up in June at the latest. Is your schedule okay? Or do you need us to further adjust?" The schedules of independent films are relatively flexible, and there are many influencing factors, which are two completely different models from commercial films.
Lan Li thought of what Andy called "the girl with the dragon tattoo".
"No problem." Lan Li gave his answer and nodded in affirmation, "I would like to appear in this work. But, I have a question."
Tony and Carl both showed happy expressions, but before they had time to celebrate, they were attracted by Lan Li’s question and stared at Lan Li, which made Lan Li smile and said, "When can I start? Read the script?"
Reading the "detachment" script is not to build the character, nor to bring it in, but to read the lines.
For performance-based acting, lines are not the most important. In many cases, in the absence of lines, the expression of emotions is still powerful, but it is undeniable that lines are a very important part of performance. A truly outstanding academic actor, the basic skills of his lines can definitely stand the test.
What's more, there are a lot of monologues and confessions in "Transcendence", and the meaning of the lines is even more important.
The cautiousness between Tony's eyebrows dissipated, and replaced by real joy. He liked the attitude of Lan Li, "Tomorrow, tomorrow will be fine. You give me the agent's business card, I will contact him, and get the contract as soon as possible. When things are done, you can start reading the script, and we can start preparing for the other parts."
Broker's business card.
Lan Li suddenly felt a burst of joy. First George Slander, then Tony Kaye, and Andy will be very confused when he receives these calls that are not planned. As a rookie actor, he really does not "keep his own peace".
Tony caught the playfulness in Lan Li's smile, his eyes widened, "What's the matter?"
Lan Li waved his hand, "It's okay." Rumbling through his wallet, he found that he didn't have the habit of carrying Andy's business card with him at all. As a result, he could only take out his mobile phone. Send the number to you?"
So casual, so direct, and even a little sloppy. Sure enough, there are more or less similarities among artists.
"No problem." Tony also took out his cell phone and exchanged each other's phone numbers.
Afterwards, Woody asked about the list of Lanly’s performances tonight very seriously-Lanly’s previous guess was correct, and Woody did bring Tony and Carl here today to enjoy the performance, and then wanted to ask Stanley. Inquire about Lan Li's contact information. In the eyes of an old scholar like Woody, this is much more convenient than the Screen Actors Guild.
Lan Li really didn't know anything. After asking Neal at the bar, he came back to explain.
Just as Lan Li was about to leave, Woody said in passing, "What about you? When are you going to perform on stage?"
"At least not tonight." Lan Li replied half-jokingly.
Tony chuckled and responded. But Woody didn't buy it, still with that cold expression, "You are a good performer, maybe you should be on stage more."
Such praise really surprised Lan Li.
The well-known Woody Allen can be said to be well-known. He has always been picky, acrimonious, laughed and cursed, and has never been soft-hearted, and has never seen anyone he wants to compromise. Except for New York, the love of his life, this city always has a special charm under his lens.
Don't talk about Lan Li, even Tony cast his eyes in surprise. Woody was unmoved, just shrugged, "I know you are an actor, but the stage itself is also part of the performance. Maybe you can find a time every week to perform performances here and experience life. Here In a small bar, the tolerant things may take your whole life and you may not be able to read them."
Lanly remembered one thing, Woody is a saxophone player, every Monday, he will always perform in a bar, thirty years, never stopped.
He is a director, but not just a director. Various art forms are essentially the same, reflecting the soul and thoughts of creators and artists.
In the eyes of others, playing the saxophone every Monday is not doing business properly, and it is a hobby that has nothing to do with the work of the director. But who knows? Perhaps the root of Woody's ability to maintain such a strong creative power at such an advanced age lies in the performances every Monday.
Lan Li felt that next time he had time, he should find a Monday to make a special trip to watch Woody's performance and the New York nightlife in Woody's eyes.
"I suddenly became a little curious." Tony looked at Lan Li with interest.
Woody’s words are full of disdain and picky towards Lan Li. He is only 21 years old. Even if he has outstanding acting talent, the accumulation and polishing of social experience is still not enough. Compared with the previous three works, the "detached" Henry is a truly experienced and well-founded character. His test of actors is all-round. No matter how difficult the imagination is, the actual situation will be ten times more difficult.
However, Tony heard the affirmation hidden in it. If it hadn't been for Woody's deep impression on Lanly's singing, Woody would not insist on it. This is really an interesting thing, and Tony couldn't help but look forward to it faintly.
The Blue Libao responded with a smile, "That can only wait for the next time."
It turned out to be closed doors. It's rare, it's really rare~lightnovelpub.net~ Tony glanced at Woody's expression secretly, adding a little stiffness to that look of disdain and contempt, which is truly wonderful.
However, Lan Li was very calm and did not feel uneasy or complacent because of rejecting Woody.
Every artist has his own way of creation, there is no so-called right way, and there is no so-called wrong path. Woody has his own way, while Lanly has his rhythm, different ways, open the same world, you will see different scenes. What is suitable for Woody may not be suitable for him; similarly, what is suitable for him may not be suitable for Woody. Lanly had no plans, because the opponent was Woody Allen, so he wavered his principles.
What's more, compared to the dedicated Tony, Lan Li is already considered to be a serious offense, and he is really embarrassed.
Of course, Lan Li also admits that the use of music to build a bridge of thought is to establish a smooth track between himself and his work, between himself and his characters, and between himself and the co-actors. This is worthy of recognition. At the beginning, the reason why he was able to get the role of Eugene Sledge was because the song "Cleopatra" played an important role.
However, although Lan Li admired Tony very much, he did not intend to give up his hobbies. Admire and admire, but Lan Li still intends to follow his own path, continue to explore, find his own way of creation, and look forward to reaching the same end in the end.
After speaking, Lan Li turned around and left.
Tony watched Lan Li's leaving back, hit Woody with his shoulder severely, with a gloating expression, made Woody roll his eyes and didn't intend to pay any attention; Carl, who was sitting opposite, looked at Tony who was pranking. , Shook his head helplessly and decided not to blend in.
