The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 750: Across the ocean
The filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" came to an end in a blink of an eye. Although it is said that the main shots have been taken, there are only some trivial shots that need to be re-shot; but this can not be completed within a day or two. Simple estimates, it will take at least two weeks. Because of part of it, they needed to go back to the streets of London to shoot.
The filming of Heathrow Airport was completed in mid-December, but the filming of Trafalgar Square in downtown London has not yet started. Compared with studio shooting, shooting in urban areas is always more troublesome. It not only needs to block traffic, and time counts against each other, but also needs to face the harassment of tourists and pedestrians, which often adds more uncertainties to the shooting. .
Fortunately, the difficult scenes have been filmed, and the rest are relatively simple literary scenes.
When Andy Rogers arrived in London, the crew was still filming methodically at the Leavesden Photography Base. Andy did not rush to Leavesden overnight, but settled in a hotel in London, and then began to run around busy.
Generally speaking, the award season can be roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is until Christmas. Any work wants to compete for the award season of the year. Christmas is the deadline for screening and public screening. At this stage, It is mainly nominated by major film critics associations, and the seeded contestants of the award season gradually surfaced.
The second stage is based on the Golden Globe Awards ceremony as a watershed. Because after the Golden Globes, Oscars will announce the nomination list; all candidates who are eager to sprint for the Oscars will appear above the Golden Globes to start the early college public relations sprint. At this stage, a small number of film critics will announce the list of winners, and it is also a period of college public relations.
The third stage is after the Golden Globes and continues to the Oscars. Since the list of Oscar nominations has been announced, the works that have not received nominations gradually fade away, and the remaining seed players will concentrate on the duel. The thinking and routines of the college's public relations gradually became clear, and it was also the most important and difficult stage.
On the whole, nomination depends on strength, and winning depends on luck. In the first and second stages, strength is king, and high-quality works can stand out as long as they formulate the correct public relations strategy; in the third stage, this is the real "academic public relations" stage, where the wrist is king, the Weinstein brothers It is the best of them all.
At this time, half of January 2012 has passed. This weekend is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which is the most important period of the nomination stage. Andy did not stay in Los Angeles, but traveled across the ocean and came to London. This is really abnormal, but in Andy's view, it is an appropriate choice.
The artists of the innovative artist management company are shared, but every artist will have a master agent. Andy is Renly’s main agent. They usually contact them directly in their daily work. After the resources are collected, they will come to Andy. In addition to Renly, Andy’s artists include Harrison Ford and Rose. -Byrne, Christine Weg, Jamie Fox and Dane De Haan.
Not too much, but not too little.
This year, Andy's award season work is undoubtedly busy. Both Christine and Renly were nominated for the Golden Globe Awards and received a lot of attention during the awards season.
Kristen relies on the dark horse work of "bridesmaids", and some people even think that she can hit the Oscar nomination; but all this is just a lively illusion. Among the contemporary Oscars, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain an Oscar nomination by virtue of pure comedy performance. Even Kim Carey can't do it, and it's even more difficult for others.
What's more, the competition in the four major departments of acting this year is really fierce. So far, there is still no absolute leader or absolute strength. It seems that everyone has a chance and a melee. It is precisely this kind of melee that the academy is already at a disadvantage before seeing the innate attributes of comedy.
This is true of "bridesmaids", and so is the "anti-cancer me". In Andy’s view, let alone an Oscar nomination, even the Golden Globe winners are boring, both Christine and Renly are like this-the chance of "crazy love" is greater than that of "anti-cancer me" of.
After staying in Los Angeles and operating for most of the awards season, Andy decided to transfer the work of the college public relations to his colleagues in the creative artist agency, and he personally came to London to take over the work here.
After arriving in London, Andy started his work non-stop. After three days of busy work, he went to Leavesden and waited patiently for two hours. The crew ended a whole day of work. He saw it after a long absence. Blue gift. Seeing a large group of young people laughing and talking, heartless, youthful and invincible, Andy couldn't help but laugh. From Los Angeles to London, from the awards season to the filming crew, the stark gap is really interesting.
"Are they always like this?" With the smiling face of Lan Li in front of him, Andy was a little strange, almost unable to recognize it.
He couldn't help but remembered the second meeting with Lan Li. Wearing simple sportswear, holding a skateboard, he went to participate in an amateur skateboarding competition. Lan Li’s skills were average, but his smile bloomed freely on the field. There is no gentleman's coat, no elegant calmness, just simply enjoying the pleasure of freedom.
Perhaps, such a blue gift is not so unfamiliar.
Nathan and Roy sitting next to them have become accustomed to it, but they can understand Andy's surprise. Nathan couldn't help but laughed, "We are all used to it."
During the conversation, Lan Li came over with Paul Walker and Rami Marek, "Hey, Andy." Lan Li smiled and nodded, greeted him, then turned his head and looked at Zheng Zheng. Lamy continued to engage in their conversation.
That relaxed and contented posture didn't seem to be surprised at Andy's appearance, and didn't intend to ask why Andy appeared. On the contrary, it made Andy somehow unable to react. However, the Maitreya Buddha-like expression still did not panic, but smiled more brilliantly, "Lan Li." There was a little helplessness in his tone, "I didn't come to visit the class."
The subtext is that he came here for business.
Paul and Lamy exchanged a glance, Lamy paused, "See you for dinner later?" After receiving a positive answer from Lan Li, the two walked in the other direction, talking and laughing. Turning his head to look at Andy, "It seems that this is an urgent matter, and I can't even wait for dinner time."
Seeing Andy on the set, Lanly certainly knew that there must be a business, otherwise a phone call would be fine. But obviously, it is not only a business matter, but also an urgent matter.
Andy was not surprised by Lan Li's keenness, nodded in affirmation, "Before dinner, I need to go back to London immediately. There is a drama in the West End of London tonight. I have already bought tickets for the show at 9:30."
"Oh? New drama?" Lan Li was not surprised at all, but became interested in drama.
This time even Nathan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help it. "Andy's point is that time is too late, not drama."
However, Lan Li shrugged and asked with a smile, "Who knows that the drama is not the point?" Nathan choked, blinked, and then turned to look at Andy.
"Then do you want to guess again, what kind of drama is it? What does the important thing I say next?" Andy's words are equivalent to indirectly affirming that the business is related to the drama. He is not a theater lover. If it were not for work, he would not sit in the theater for two or three hours.
Lan Li did not answer, and went straight into the room, "You are the agent, not me. Or, Roy, do you want to give me a hint?"
Roy and Andy exchanged glances, both laughed dumbly, and entered the room one after another.
Andy simply took a look at the house. The decoration style is not a luxurious type, but a simple and generous IKEA style. The furniture is based on light gray, off-white and dark blue. The visual effect is very comfortable and relaxing. You can also put it on the coffee table. Reading a few novels and glanced at it, it was not some esoteric novels, but popular literature such as detective novels. It can be seen that during the filming here, Lan Li's life is really comfortable.
"If the Hollywood Foreign Press Association knows that you have given up attending the Golden Globes in order to vacation here, it is estimated that their mood will not get better." Andy sat down, the linen-style sofa, softer than expected, said Also followed up joking.
Lan Li didn't take a seat immediately, but walked to the bedroom on the right, covered the door lightly, changed the costume, and changed into a clean and simple sportswear. Then the whole person really relaxed." I believe that the night of the awards ceremony was star-studded, and they would not care if they were missing me."
After the announcement of the nomination list for the 69th Golden Globe Awards ~lightnovelpub.net~ Lan Li, along with George and Ryan, became the focus of the most attention. The invitation letter for the award ceremony was also sent to Lan Li in New York as soon as possible. Apartment, and informed Andy. However, Andy also communicated with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the first time, saying that Blue Li will be absent from the awards ceremony this year.
The reason is not complicated. On the one hand, Renly is shooting "Edge of Tomorrow" in the UK. London to Los Angeles is a full eleven and a half hours of long-distance flight; on the other hand, after the Golden Globe awards ceremony, it was Berlin first. The film festival, then the Grammys, then the Oscars, and countless college public relations in between. If Lanly does not want to be absent from these activities, the shooting of "Edge of Tomorrow" must be completed as soon as possible. It is really not a delay.
Not to mention the Golden Globes, even the "anti-cancer me" promotion period has been compressed to a mere three days; and before that, the first and second phases of the college public relations, Lan Li all absent, at least did it. Treat equally. This also means that if the shooting of "Edge of Tomorrow" cannot be ended, the follow-up Blue Li will also miss a series of events-after all, attending one event but refusing to attend another will offend people if you are not careful.
Regarding this situation, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association expressed its understanding. As Lan Li said, the most indispensable thing about their awards ceremony is the top big names.
