The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 953: Technical otaku

He shook his head and nodded again. Alfonso Cuarón's restraint and embarrassment could not be concealed. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and explained in a panic, "I have a work and I want to invite you to play it."

This is an unexpected answer. Lan Li chuckled lightly, "Thank you. For any actor, the invitation from the favorite director is the best compliment; I can understand it as the performance tonight. , You really like it very much, don't you?"

"Of course, absolutely." Alfonso's hands made dazzling gestures, with a typical Spanish-or Italian style. However, Alfonso is Mexican. Is this the same system?

Alfonso continued, "Before, my friend—I’m not sure if you know him, Gilmour del Toro? He watched your performance and told me that he must come and watch it. I always hold the attitude of suspicion; but tonight, you really made me feel shocked. Wait, you just said that I am your favorite director?"

Alfonso’s English has a heavy accent, and the rhythm of speaking is a little stumbling, and occasionally grammatical errors can be found; but the speed of speaking continues the Spanish style, and it feels like a brain is about to pour all the words down, a bit of a machine gun It seems that even the brain's reaction speed can't keep up with the speed of speaking. Such a contrast makes people can't help but laugh.

"Yes. As far as I am concerned, I really like the two long lenses of the'Son of Humanity'. However, not only because of the visual effects brought by the long lens, but also the atmosphere, pervading the lens and perspective. The coldness and recklessness behind, you know, are the things outside the protagonist, which are very impressive. Besides, Prisoner of Azkaban, I admire your courage!" Lan Li said sincerely with a smile on his face.

Alfonso is a low-yield director. After entering the 21st century, he has only shot three works so far. After the "Son of Man" in 2006, he has not produced any new works until now.

Not because there is no work to take over, but because he is a complete technical control. Just like Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron, and George Lucas, they are obsessed with technology even more than the film itself, and they are often willing to spend a lot of time studying film technology, and then combine themselves. The movie, the dedication is wonderful.

Lan Li's praise made Alfonso smile embarrassedly, and his shy eyes dodge involuntarily. This year is more than fifty years old, but he still embraces a childish heart, and rushes to the movie wholeheartedly.

In 2004, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" won the love of film critics and was hailed as the best in the series, with a media rating of up to 82 points. However, it encountered bad reviews from fans and performed poorly at the box office. Both North America and the world have the lowest scores in the series. This is undoubtedly a serious blow to Alfonso. However, he was never discouraged, and devoted himself to the film, pure and simple.

In fact, among the top three in Mexico, only Alessandro knows more about socializing. Alfonso and Gilmour are both honest otakus, even a little shy and bad words. It's really not easy for such an honest person to break into a world in Hollywood.

"But." Lan Li's words did not end, and he continued, "I must decline your kindness."

Lan Li had to refuse the movie invitation.

Facing Alfonso, who was surprised and disappointed, Lan Li couldn't bear it. He always felt that he was bullying the honest man. "As you can see, I am performing in the West End of London. In the next two and a half months, I will There is no time at all." Seeing Alfonso opened his mouth to speak, Lan Li shook his head and stopped him, and continued, "In addition, our crew is considering going to Broadway for a tour. The itinerary has not yet been determined, but it is certain. The thing is, in the short term, I don’t have time to spare."

"Les Miserables" was staged in the West End of London for only two weeks. The venues were full and well received. It undoubtedly became the absolute focus of London in May; New York on the other side of the Atlantic also felt the craze, and Broadway has already started touring companies. Contacted John Cod to discuss their Broadway tour.

As Lan Li said, it is still in the negotiation stage, but it is certain that at least six theaters have expressed interest and are in intensive negotiation. If nothing else, the trip to Broadway is a certainty. The only question is: How long does the show last? Also, how many times does Lan Li have to play?

For Broadway, the appeal of "Renley Hall" even surpasses the show itself. They must ensure that Renly appears in enough times, which will change the value of the entire show's tour. It is no exaggeration to say that the worth of a blue gift exceeds the sum of all other actors in the crew, and it is still much more than that.

Therefore, not only John, but Andy Rogers is also in New York, and is in close contact with Broadway to discuss the next matter.

"Mr. Caron, please forgive my rudeness." Lan Li said sincerely, not politely, but sincerely, "Because of the schedule, I have to refuse your kindness."

"But..." Alfonso didn't seem to expect such an accident, and he was rejected before he even had time to get into the subject. This made Alfonso a little frustrated. He couldn't help but think of his friend's advice: This is the correct way and the formal way to inquire through an agent.

However, after watching the performance today, Alfonso was really too excited, and his excitement was beyond control. He came to the backstage without thinking, relying on the strategy of "brushing his face" and got the opportunity to enter the waiting room. I just wholeheartedly wanted to have a face-to-face meeting with Lan Li, but ignored an important fact:

For top actors like Lan Li, everyone is eager to work with him. Especially after the Oscars ended, the inquiries of the creative artist agency have been blown up, but Lan Li was indifferent, far away from Hollywood, far away from North America, and quietly put on performances in the West End of London. So, how can he be an exception?

"No, no need." Alfonso waved his hand happily, struggling hard, but still couldn't restrain his wilting expression, "I am too abrupt, you don't need to apologize, I... uh, consider Not detailed enough." Alfonso said repeatedly, "but, today's performance is indeed too wonderful. I originally planned to come back tomorrow, but it seems that there is no place."

Today Alfonso’s position is reserved for the Almeida Theater. Through the relationship with David-Heyman, the top producer of works such as "Harry Potter" and "I Am a Legend", many times After tossing around, finally got the qualification for entry.

"Really? If you don't mind, I can ask my friend and find two places for you in the box." Lan Li said readily. There should be room in Hall's box. He is very sure. Chad shouldn't mind; besides, Dunlop's box should still be empty, and Matthew can definitely think of a way.

Alfonso's eyes widened, "Really? God, do you know how much a ticket is out there for hype?" But after speaking, Alfonso immediately realized his rudeness: in front of the actors, discuss The scalper ticket on the black market does not seem appropriate. As a result, the words were cut off awkwardly.

Lan Li didn't care, he chuckled lightly, "I'll go back and check my bank account. If necessary, this can be my way of making money." Such a teasing made Alfonso follow him in an instant. Laughed.

"Are you sure you don't want to sit in the waiting room?" Lan Li sent out the invitation again, and Alfonso refused the kind offer because there were still companions waiting outside.

Lan Li spread his hands and said, "Then, please forgive my impoliteness. I must go back and have a good rest. I have a whole day of work tomorrow. Regarding the position of the box, I will explain Nathan-my assistant, and You communicated."

After a simple greeting, Lan Li left without stopping.

Entering the waiting room, most of the actors have already left. After the performance, everyone was exhausted physically and mentally. They needed to relax. There was no party or party. Everyone went home early to recharge for the next day's performance. Like Lan Li, there is always a lot of entertainment, and he is often the last to leave.

However, the waiting room is still full of laughter, especially Paul Walker's iconic sunny laughter, which is really familiar.

"Len Li!" Mei Duo-Ryan jumped up high, with a face full of excitement, rushed up all the way, and gave Lan Li a big hug, "God, you are really a genius! Genius! Acting too! It's wonderful! I was trembling all the way, goosebumps fell all over the floor, so wonderful that people just want to scream, but they can't scream! God, God! You really left too!"

Mei Duo jumped up and down, screaming constantly, every muscle in her body was expressing her excitement.

Involuntarily ~lightnovelpub.net~ Lan Li also chuckled, tired as if embracing the first ray of spring snow, melting bit by bit, "Girl, girl. Your father is watching," He is going to be jealous."

A joke made Paul laugh dumbly, walked up, gave Lanly a warm hug, and said cheerfully, "Jesus Christ, man, you are a pervert. Why did I never realize it before? You belong to this movie. On the stage, Heather was right."

"I'm proud enough. You don't need to continue feeding my arrogance." Lan Li said with a smile, "Well, six hours is not too long? I think you can't hold on, take the lead. left."

Paul and Maiduo arrived in London the day before yesterday. This time they came here specifically to support "Les Miserables", but Renly did not have time to entertain them. Matthew was with them all the way. Tonight, they watched the performance in the reserved seats on the second floor, not in the box, but the vision was equally excellent.

Originally, Paul was going to line up to buy tickets by himself-in addition to the pre-sale tickets, a small part of the tickets were released three days before the performance, but the audience who bought the tickets were really too enthusiastic and had no chance at all. Paul then gave up.
