successfully won!

The joyful emotions hit in the chest lightly, the curvature of the corners of the mouth could not be restrained, and the ground rose up. In the end, he did not hold it back. He clenched his fists hard and waved twice, which finally vented the excitement. .

　　 It wasn't until he left the area of ​​Amsterdam Avenue that the sense of reality invaded—he really got the role of Paul Conroy.

　　 After Ryan appeared, Lan Li knew that he had fallen into an unfavorable situation. From any angle, Rodriguez had no reason to reject Ryan. Then, Renly must do his best to create a reason for Rodriguez.

　　 Lan Li realizes that his only advantage lies in performance, but also in his understanding of the role, which is his only bargaining chip. When he stood at the door, he was thinking, on the one hand, thinking about how to win the second show before Ryan's decision; on the other hand, thinking about the role of Paul, thinking about how he should interpret, thinking about how he should perform.

　　 When Scarlett appeared, Lan Li sensitively caught it, and the opportunity came.

　　 So, he simply pushed the boat along the river, and then interacted with Scarlett to find out the complete character image of Paul's role and show this kind of performance. Renly is not sure whether Paul can see it, but this is his only chance. It is a pity that Scarlett was too smart, and soon saw through his intentions, all attempts came to an abrupt end.

　　 The window left for Lan Li is too small. Lan Li almost thought he was about to miss "Buried alive", and he had not had time to use all his energy.

　　 But, he won! His first work on the big screen was finally confirmed, "Buried alive"!

After nearly seven months of shooting after the end of the "Pacific War", he finally got the opportunity to challenge his acting skills again, and this time he will be on the big screen. The actor's challenge path has once again taken a solid step. step.

　　 It is worth mentioning that this time, he was in a head-to-head competition with the original actor of the previous life, and he won the role by pulling his teeth out of his mouth, which is even more commendable! It not only proved his strength, but also proved that history can be changed-although he did it once during the "Pacific War", this time it was more direct and obvious.

　　 The trajectory of history is turning little by little. He is changing the future of the film industry as a "Ren Li-Hall". Perhaps, in the near future, even Lan Li himself cannot predict what will happen. The stimulus between the known and the unknown allows the slow release of adrenaline.

　　 Of course, more important than the work itself is that this is an opportunity to challenge oneself and challenge acting skills. This is likely to be a turning point on the path of dreams.

He once imagined what role he would play and what difficulties he would encounter, but he did not expect that the first film work would be able to get such a rare opportunity to be "buried alive". Not only was the role extremely difficult, it was an independent work, and it was actually a one-man show. ! This also means that he can devote himself to the exploration of the performance, heartily use his best to see what height he can reach.

Perhaps, as his parents said, he has no talent. The most indispensable thing in this world is genius, but not all geniuses can reach the top, and he is not even a genius; perhaps, he does perform. Spirituality, as David Nutt said, he can break out of his own world on the actor's stage.

　　 But no matter what the result is, he won't regret it, and he doesn't want to regret it himself.

At this moment, Lan Li is holding the "buried alive" performance contract, but that thin document is extremely important, which means that the heavyweight role of Paul Conroy is under the control of Lan Li. On the shoulders, the success or failure of the entire movie is tied to Lan Li's performance. Although heavy, it makes people excited.

"Buried alive" is a completely independent film. After inquiring, I found out that the investor was an independent company in Spain. Before that, he had only invested in a film that cost less than 500,000 yuan. This time they gave the word "Buried alive". The budget is 3 million, but this includes the subsequent promotional costs-the promotion of independent films is nothing more than taking the film festival route, but whether it is the Sundance Film Festival or the Toronto Film Festival, you must pay for participation, let alone After that, the publicity cost of attending the film festival collectively.

　　 Therefore, strictly speaking, the shooting cost of "buried alive" is estimated to be less than two million.

　　Independent movies like this naturally don’t have an official process like HBO. Just look at today’s audition. The Screen Actors Guild of America did not even send a public agent to supervise it, so the signing part did not take the usual path. Rodriguez directly handed over the contract to Renly, and Renly could hand the contract to a lawyer or broker for review, and then sign the contract after confirming that it was correct.

After 　　 is implemented in black and white, Lan Li can formally join the "Buried Alive" crew.

　　 Looking at the contract in his hand, Lan Li thought about it carefully, and dialed Roy Lockley's phone number. The phone rang for a while and no one answered it. As you can imagine, Roy should still be too busy. Just when Lan Li was about to give up, the phone finally picked up, "This is Roy Lockley. "The answer is the same as always.

　　 "Lan Li-Hall."

　　 "Lan Li?" Roy was a little surprised, and said to the side, "Yes, that's all for the documents, fax it over." Then he said to the microphone again, "What, something?"

　　 "Yes, I took a new work, and the actor contract is already in hand. I need the union to review it for me." Lan Li didn't get muddled and concluded simply.

　　 Roy put the phone on his shoulder and recorded it on the calendar on the desk, "No problem, you can fax it. What works?"

"Independent work, an independent film invested by a Spanish company." Lan Li's answer is still concise, without much explanation, but the self-confidence in the words is upright. There is no extra emotion because this is an independent film, and there is no sorrow. No pride, no regrets, no excitement.

　　 Roy couldn't help but pause and laughed. If someone else heard it, there might not be any special thoughts, but Roy was different. He knew that Lanly had refused the audition invitation of "Thor", and now he has chosen an independent film that is not well known. This is really interesting.

　　 "How about the pay? Do you need me to help you negotiate?" Generally speaking, actors themselves don't talk about "money". This is not only harmful to the image, but also hurtful, and it should be discussed by the agent. Since Lan Li does not have an agent, Roy is willing to lend a helping hand.

　　 Lan Li chuckled lightly, "No, it's already done. One hundred thousand."

　　 "Buried Alive" is not a rich crew, that's for sure. However, as the leading male protagonist, the pay is still a bit low. After all, there is only one actor in the entire crew, and there are also several actors who have appeared on the scene. In other words, the whole movie The salary budget is almost all on Lan Li alone. Even if there is no three hundred thousand, there must be at least two hundred thousand.

　　 However, after Rodriguez talked with Lan Li, Lan Li agreed to a contract of 100,000 pieces. Excess funds can be invested in the work, and in the limited budget space, a truly wonderful work can be created.

　　 Lan Li understands that if he wants to make money, he should not take independent films like "Buried alive" and choose commercial films like "Thor". Even if the pay is low, he will have higher income.

　　 Roy laughed softly. Renly's income this time was even lower than during the "Pacific War", and it didn't seem like he had received a movie project. However, Roy didn't say much, just teased, "It seems that this must be a very good work."

"Of course." Lan Li's answer did not waver at all. Roy could feel the kind of unwavering and unrelenting focus. Obviously, choosing this work was what Lan Li wanted in his heart, not when he was desperate. The second decision. "So, is this why you introduced the Thor project to Chris Hemsworth?"

Lan Li couldn't help but was stunned, did not understand the meaning of Roy's words, blurted out, "What?" He knew that if according to the trajectory of the previous life, "Thor" would eventually fall into the hands of Chris; but why did Roy Would you say it was introduced to Chris by him?

Originally it was just a joke. Roy had to explain again, "Yesterday there was news from the inside. Chris will play the role of Sol. It is estimated that official news will be announced the day after tomorrow at the latest. . Didn’t you introduce Thor to Chris?"

　　 "Why do you say that?" Lan Li always felt a little strange, but he couldn't explain why.

Roy also heard the doubts in Lanly’s words, thought about it, and explained it in detail, “Before this, Charlie Hannum had basically come to the fore. Kenneth Branagh was between him and Cha There was some hesitation between Ning Tatum. Suddenly, Chris was born. His understanding of Saul and his successful reading touched Kenneth, and he finally took the role in one go."

　　 So far, although it is a bit strange, Lan Li can't tell what it has to do with him. It's no secret that Chris has a powerful agent.

"But a few days ago, a member of Paramount's internal staff called me and knocked on the side. Although he didn't say it clearly, he meant that Chris had already read the script in advance, so he was fully prepared." Thor There is no confidentiality agreement for the script of', but the scripts they sent out are counted, and each script is also marked. Not everyone can get the script. I listen to him. It seems that what Chris reads is yours. A script? So, I guessed..."

　　 Roy's words are cut off here, and the rest of the content is self-evident.

Lan Li's eyebrows frowned, and the details of that night came up, the last piece of the puzzle was put together, the strange feeling echoed in his mind, and finally turned into a touch of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "No, I wrote the script at the time. Put it on the bookshelf and did not recommend it to anyone."

　　 Roy was taken aback, and then said meaningfully, "Oh."
