At the end of the interview, Roy didn't stay much longer, so he packed up and left immediately.
Looking at the "Thor" script in his hand, lanli can't help but smile. He can feel Roy's kindness. For a newcomer without the care of an agent, Roy has just given him a lot of guidance, which are very valuable information.
In fact, regardless of the shackles of marvel and the choice of commercial films, in fact, among Marvel's comic hero series, "Raytheon" is the one with the worst box office performance and word-of-mouth feedback, not to mention "Iron Man", "Captain America" and other signboards. Even the later "ant man" has achieved a comprehensive anti super in terms of word-of-mouth, box office and rate of return.
Raytheon, released in 2011, with an investment of 150 million yuan, gained only 449 million yuan at the box office worldwide. It not only failed to make money, but also made paramount lose nearly 20 million yuan; Later, "Raytheon 2" in 2013 benefited from the rise of marvel, and the box office improved. The cost of 170 million yuan earned a global box office of 640 million yuan, but because of the super high publicity expenses, paramount made only 30 million yuan.
It can be said that the return rate of "Thor" series has been unsatisfactory, and the global appeal is also very limited. If it is not for the whole Marvel Universe pattern of "Avengers alliance", paramount almost intends to give up.
From this point of view, "Thor" is not as attractive as Roy said.
However, as a newcomer, it's not a good thing to be so picky. They miss the opportunity of "Thor" and never know when the next opportunity will come. They should try their best to seize every opportunity. Hollywood is not a circle keen on charity.
So, lanli read the play of "Thor" seriously. A script and a movie are two different things. The director's task is to turn the script into a picture, while the actor's task is to derive the character's deep meaning from the script's words. In the last life, Langley saw enough movies, but his contact with the script was very limited.
In the next few hours, lanli hid backstage in the Pioneer Village and quietly read the script.
As in my memory, Thor's play is really poor, especially for Saul's role, it lacks the distinctive features of "Iron Man" and "Captain America". However, rocky is really an interesting character. The "Thor" series of the last life did not give him enough space to play, otherwise he has the potential to become the ultimate villain of Marvel series.
But that's not what Langley can decide, is it?
When he returned to his residence, he turned on the light in the hall and looked around. Chris Hemsworth still didn't come back. His eyes fell on the "Thor" script in his hand again. Lanli suddenly felt that his fate was really wonderful. In the last life, Chris became famous with the role of "Thor" in "Thor" and started the peak of his career as an actor, If there is no lanli disturbance, the development curve of this life should not have too much change.
So, has Chris been invited to audition for Raytheon? Or has Chris finished his audition and is waiting for the next call? If Langley decides to take part in Sol's competition, what will happen? He and Chris are competitors?
This is the first time that Langley stands at the present time node to examine the future direction of the last life so clearly and concretely. He is no longer a spectator, but a participant, a real participant. So how much will the development of history change? How many hurricanes can he set off with this little butterfly from ancient China in Asia? This is really something to look forward to.
Thinking of this, Lan Li went back to his room, put his backpack on the desk, put his script on the shelf beside him, and went into the bathroom to wash away the dust of the day. Although he had been used to working in the early morning, for Lan Li, sleeping is a very happy thing, It's good to be able to stay in bed a little longer - even if it's only ten minutes.
Chris Hemsworth opened the door. The light in the living room showed that there was someone in the house. He raised his voice and called, "lenley? Blue This is New York. Although it's Manhattan, the law and order in XC district is still not peaceful. Burglars who break into the house can meet some of them every so often.
"I'm in the bathroom." Lan Li shouts loudly, the voice answers, penetrate thin wall, passed out.
Chris just put down his heart, leaned against the door, and began to look through the letters in his hand. Lanli was a guy who didn't care much. Every time his mailbox was jammed, lanli still didn't remember to pick up the letters, so he had to wait for Chris to deal with them.
Select public letters such as water, electricity and coal, and put them next to the TV cabinet; Then they picked out their own letters and lanli's letters, and threw away all the remaining junk advertising letters.
"When did you come back? The bedrooms were empty last night Lanli came out of the bathroom, wiping her hair and leaning against the bedroom door, chatting and asking.
Chris glanced up, picking letters in his hand, but he didn't stop. "This afternoon, I just came back from Los Angeles." After the "cash" project with Sean bin was completed, he stayed in Los Angeles and ran around for his next work, but the harvest was very small. "How are you doing? Is everything going well with the work? "
Langley shrugged. "Nothing changed. I went to two auditions, and I didn't win There's nothing to hide, to be honest.
Chris chuckled. "That's why I refused to shoot TV series." He pointed to Lan Li with the letter in his hand and said confidently, "no matter how successful the TV series are, they still can't attract the attention of the film companies. Once you have become a TV series actor, it's difficult to turn over in the future."
"I remember you came out of a TV play, too." The smile on the corner of blue Li's mouth rose slightly instead.
"Facts." Chris nodded. "Facts!" After repeating it twice, "but those are all about Australia. After I came to the United States, I received many offers for TV dramas, but I refused them. Because I know that clearly. " In fact, these are all told by the agent, but for lanli, who has no agent, it's his turn to teach experience. "Listen to me, even if there is no audition invitation, don't compromise, unless you are going to stabilize in the TV industry. You are only 20 years old, and you have countless choices."
Chris is very serious, and his words are full of weight. "Take the Pacific War for example. I've been in Los Angeles recently, and I've heard a lot of news. It's really a focus work, but all eyes are focused on Hanks and Spielberg. No one will notice the actors. This is the dilemma of TV series. "
Lan Li smiles, does not refute, but does not respond. He is more curious about another detail, "did you hear the news of the 'Pacific War' in Los Angeles? How's it going? "
"It's mainly positive. I think Hanks and Spielberg have done a good job again." Chris is very willing to share the inside information, because it's all out of lanli's reach. His smile on the corner of his mouth rises. "Recently, I heard that HBO is carrying out propaganda, hoping that the 'Pacific War' can impact the Emmy Awards, but the voice is not high."
"Technology awards should still be OK." Lanli expressed his views. After all, the investment of 223 million yuan is there, and the hard power is worth affirming.
"Who knows." Chris mysteriously said half a word, pause for a moment, trying to see the Inquisition in lanli's eyes, but failed, which made Chris spread his hands speechless and shook his head depressed, "you don't cooperate at all, how can this magic continue?"
Then he put on a smile and asked, "what's the rumor in Hollywood?" It was like coaxing a child.
Chris raised his chin slightly and showed a satisfied smile. "It's said that HBO is not optimistic about the prospect of the 'Pacific War' this year. Although they have to launch publicity because of Spielberg's face, they probably won't concentrate too much on it. So the prospects for the Emmy Awards are bleak. "
Lanli gently closed his jaw to show that he understood, but his voice turned, "Chris, why do I think you are gloating?"
After hearing this, Chris almost choked on his saliva and coughed violently. Then lanli could not help laughing. Chris realized that lanli was joking. He could not help clenching his fist. "Lanli, this is not funny! I just care about you! " As soon as he was worried, his Australian accent was so vague that he could hardly hear clearly. "As I said just now, you should not choose TV series."
Lan Li just smile, no response, turned back to the room, "I'm going to wash clothes now, do you need to wash?" Then, with a pause, he turned back and said, "I mean coats and things like that. Don't throw me socks and underpants."
Chris raised his hand and smashed an envelope to express his response, which made Langley laugh again.
Here, there is no washing machine in their apartment, and each floor is equipped with a washing machine and dryer, but people who usually use them have to queue up, so it's more convenient to go to a special automatic laundry. Lanli just formed the habit of washing clothes in the early hours of the morning.
Blue Li picked up the dirty clothes of the past few days, picked up the laundry basket, went to the door, and kicked Chris in the calf, "let's, Hulk."
Chris can't help but roll a white eye, want to retort, but can't find the right words, can only be depressed to let open, waving his fist to see blue Li out of the door, and then shut the door, in order to vent his anger.
After going back to distinguish all the letters, Chris went all the way to lanli's room and put his personal letters on the table. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the script on the bookshelf.
The cover is navy blue, with only one word, "Thor", concise and steady.
