Chapter 83

Win it!

The joy of the mood in the chest gently hit, the corner of the mouth radian can not help but rise up, eventually did not hold back, clenched his fist, hard wave two times, this is ultimately the exhilaration out.

It wasn't until he left the confines of Amsterdam Avenue that the sense of reality came in - he really got the role of Paul Conroy.

When Ryan appeared, Langley knew that he was in a disadvantageous situation. From any angle, Rodriguez had no reason to refuse Ryan. Then, Langley must do his best to make a reason for Rodriguez.

Lanli realized that his only advantage was performance and his understanding of the role, which was his only bargaining chip. Standing at the door, he was thinking, on the one hand, how to win the second show before Ryan's decision; On the one hand, he is thinking about the role of Paul, how to interpret it and how to perform it.

When Scarlett appeared, Langley sensitively caught the opportunity.

So, he simply pushed the boat along the river, and then interacted with Scarlett to find out the complete character image of Paul and show this performance. Langley wasn't sure Paul could see it, but it was his only chance. Unfortunately, Scarlett was so clever that she soon saw through his intention, and all her attempts came to an abrupt end.

The window left to lanli was too small. Lanli almost thought he was going to miss the "live burial", but he didn't have time to take out all his energy.

But he took it! His first work landing on the big screen has finally been determined, "buried alive"!

After nearly seven months of shooting after the "Pacific War", he finally got the chance to challenge his acting skills again. This time, he will be on the big screen. He has taken a solid step on the challenge road of actors.

It's worth mentioning that this time, he won the role in the face-to-face competition with the original player of the last generation, which is even more valuable! Not only proved his strength, but also proved that history can be changed - although he did it once in the "Pacific War", this time it was more direct and obvious.

The track of history is turning little by little. He is changing the future of the film industry as "Langley hall". Perhaps, in the near future, even Langley himself can't predict what will happen. The stimulation between known and unknown makes adrenaline release slowly.

Of course, more importantly than the work itself, this is an opportunity to challenge yourself and acting skills, which is likely to be a turning point on the road of dream.

He once imagined what role he would play and what difficulties he would encounter, but he didn't expect that his first film would get such a rare opportunity to "bury alive". Not only was the role extremely difficult, but it was also an independent work, and it was actually a one-man show! It also means that he can devote himself to the exploration of the performance, and use all his skills to see what height he can reach.

Perhaps, as his parents said, he does not have any talent. The most indispensable thing in the world is genius. However, not all geniuses can reach the peak, and he is not even a genius; Perhaps, he really has the spirit of acting, just as David Nutter said, he can break out of his own world on the stage of actors.

But no matter what the outcome, he will not regret, he does not want to regret.

At this moment, Langley is holding the "buried alive" performance contract, but the thin document is extremely heavy, which means that the heavyweight role of Paul Conroy is on Langley's shoulder, and the success or failure of the whole film depends on Langley's performance. It's heavy, but it's exciting.

"Buried alive" is a completely independent film. After inquiry, I found out that the investor is an independent company in Spain. Before that, they only invested in a film with a cost of less than 500000 yuan. This time, their oral budget for "buried alive" is 3 million yuan, but this includes the subsequent publicity expenses. The publicity of independent films is nothing more than a film festival route, But whether it's the Sundance Film Festival or the Toronto Film Festival, if you want to participate in the festival, you have to pay a fee, not to mention the publicity cost of collective participation in the festival.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the shooting cost of "buried alive" is estimated to be less than 2 million.

For independent films like this, there is naturally no official process like HBO. As you can see from today's audition, the cast didn't even send a public agent to supervise it, so the signing part didn't go the usual way. Rodriguez directly gave the contract to blue, blue can give the contract to a lawyer or broker for review, confirmed before signing.

After the implementation in black and white, Lan Li can officially join the "live burial" crew.

Looking at the contract in hand, Langley thought about it seriously and dialed Roy rockery's phone number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. It can be imagined that Roy should still be very busy. Just when Langley was about to give up, the phone finally answered, "this is Roy rockery." The vigorous way to answer is the same as before.

"Langley hall."

"Lan Li?" Roy was a little surprised and said to the side, "yes, that's all the documents. Send them by fax." Then he said to the microphone again, "what's the matter?"

"Yes, I've got a new work. The actor contract is in hand. I need the union to check it for me." Lanli also didn't drag the mud and water, simply summed up.

Roy put the phone on his shoulder and wrote it down on his desk calendar. "No problem. Just fax it. What works? "

"Independent works, an independent film invested by a Spanish company." Lanli's answer is still concise, without too many explanations, but the self-confidence in the words is dignified. There is no unnecessary emotion, no strangling, no pride, no regret, no excitement because it is an independent film.

Roy couldn't help pausing and laughing. If other people hear it, they may not have any special feelings, but Roy is different. He knows that Langley has rejected the audition invitation of Raytheon and now chooses an unknown independent film. It's really interesting.

"How about the pay? Do you want me to negotiate for you? " Generally speaking, actors don't talk about "money" themselves. It's not only bad for their image, but also bad for their friendliness. It's up to their agents to talk about it. Since Langley has no agent, Roy is willing to help.

Lan Li chuckled, "no, I've already talked about it. 100000. "

"Buried alive" is not a rich crew, which is certain. However, as a leading actor, the film's pay is still a little low. After all, the only actor on the whole cast is lanli. In addition, there are several actors who have their voices on the screen. In other words, the budget for the whole film is almost all on lanli. Even if it's not 300000, at least 200000.

However, after Rodriguez talked with lenley, lenley agreed to a contract for 100000 pieces. The surplus funds can be invested in the works, in the limited budget space, to really create a wonderful work.

Lanli understands that if he wants to make money, he should not take over independent films like "buried alive" and choose commercial films like "Raytheon". No matter how low the pay is, he will have a higher income.

Roy chuckled softly. Langley's income this time was even lower than that during the "Pacific War". It didn't seem like he had received a film project at all. However, Roy did not say anything more, just joked, "it seems that this must be a very excellent work."

"Of course." Langley's answer did not waver in the slightest. Roy can feel that kind of unswerving and indomitable concentration. Obviously, choosing this work is what Langley yearns for in his heart, rather than the decision to retreat when he is desperate“ So, is that why you introduced Raytheon to Chris Hemsworth? "

Lan Li was stunned, did not understand the meaning of Roy's words, blurted out, "what?" He knew that according to the trajectory of the previous life, "Thor" would eventually fall into Chris's hands; But why does Roy say he introduced Chris?

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

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

Roy also recognized the doubts in Langley's words, thought about it and explained in detail, "before that, Charlie Hannam has basically stood out. Kenneth Brana hesitated between him and Channing Tatum. All of a sudden, Chris was born. His understanding and reading of Saul moved Kenneth and finally won the role

So far, strange as it was, lanli couldn't hear anything to do with himself. Chris has a strong agent, which is no secret.

"But a few days ago, I got a call from a member of paramount's internal staff, who had a side effect. Although he didn't make it clear, he meant that Chris had read the script in advance, so he was well prepared. " There is no confidentiality agreement for Raytheon's scripts, but they all send out several scripts, and each script has its own label. Not everyone can get the script. I listen to him. It seems that Chris read your script? So, I guess... "

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

Lan Li's eyebrows slightly frowned, and all kinds of details of that night poured up. The last piece of the puzzle was complete, and the strange feeling reverberated in his mind, and finally turned into a touch of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "no, I put the script on the shelf at that time, and didn't recommend it to anyone."

Roy was stunned for a moment, then said meaningfully, "Oh."
