Chapter 118

"Buried alive"?

Randy is a bit surprised. Andy is looking around today. It's obvious that the real driving force is the Emmy Awards, just like Fisher. However, Andy didn't take the lead in mentioning the Emmy Awards, but focused on "burying" alive. This is really unusual. However, this is one of the reasons why Langley chose Andy.

Lanli began to mention the work of "burying alive". Andy listened to it very carefully, and even asked about the script and some details of the shooting. Then he put his hands on his stomach, like Maitreya Buddha, and fell into deep thinking. Even when he was thinking, the smile was still on his lips, as if it had become a habit.

"To put it in order, it's an independent work. Your absolute one-man play accounts for 99% of the play; Then you constantly challenged yourself in the process of shooting, and the performance difficulty even exceeded that of the Pacific War. Is that right? " Andy made a conclusion, and Langley nodded in affirmation. "I don't have anything to add."

"By the way, how long is the shooting period?"

"Eight days."

Andy ponders it carefully again. In fact, lanli is not very curious about these things, because they are all professional agents. Now that he has hired an agent, let's leave these professional and tedious things to professionals. However, this is the initial stage of their cooperation. They need to run in, understand and cultivate trust. Otherwise, how can he be sure that Andy will go all out to fight for his role the next time Langley wants to play in an independent film like "buried alive"?

"What's your opinion about this work?" Lanli didn't beat around the Bush and went straight to the theme.

Andy raised his head, did not immediately answer, but gently nodded, "a good thing, to be exact, is a happy event, the situation is far better than I expected."

Now, Andy is a little lucky that Langley has signed with him instead of Fisher. In terms of film selection and career planning, lanli is firm enough and wise enough. Maybe it's troublesome for such people to cooperate, and there's no way to simply operate with the "vase" route. But once the cooperation is successful, the ultimate limit is worth looking forward to.

"Remember what we talked about the last time we met? I think you'd better start with an independent work to establish a public impression of outstanding acting skills, and then try to win a nomination at the award ceremony. Next, we can try some distinctive business scripts and explore different possibilities. " Andy's words are flowing and complete at one go. It is obvious that his career planning for lanli has been stored in his head for a long time, although lanli only nods and agrees today.

The confidence revealed behind this, quietly revealed the edge - he is so determined, lanli will sign with him.

Andy gave a big smile. "So here we are. You first won an Emmy nomination, and then you went on to play in an independent film that was extremely good at acting. God, we can't pray for a better situation. " Before that, Andy's cognition of lanli was always just a kind of speculation and speculation, but after hearing the details of "buried alive", he finally confirmed his idea and his plan.

"Next, if there's no accident, 'buried alive' should land in Toronto - at least let's pray that the quality of the finished product can reach this level. Then we'll go to trilliuride and see the little film festivals in New York, Rome and Europe. By the way, are you English? Maybe we can go to London... "

Andy's simple words reveal too much information. The place names he said all have their own film festivals. Every film festival is a carnival for fans. Among them, the trilliureid Film Festival is the one that Langley has always wanted to visit, surpassing the Sundance Film Festival and Venice Film Festival - the former is the highest stage of independent films, while the latter is the oldest film festival. It can be seen that Langley is eager for the trilliureid Film Festival, just imagining that he can participate in it, He can't help but start his blood boiling.

Different from the ordinary film festival, the triliureid Film Festival is a real carnival for the fans, because the main committee does not set any awards or red carpet. It completely opens the film festival to all the fans, so that the film lovers can enjoy the beauty of the film in this small town.

For lanli, it's a place of worship. In his last life, he saw thousands of films, but never found a faithful and experienced film lover to communicate with. The way that he abandoned commercial propaganda, professional authority and the threshold of watching movies, and really gave the right of choice to the general public, is the ultimate image of his dream.

"If we have a good momentum after December, maybe we can look forward to your first Golden Globe nomination. Then your choice will be very different. " The ambition leaked out between the words is impressive, especially when such a strong word comes out from the smiling face. It's really a sense of disobedience.

Andy takes the initiative to cut off the back of the words, until the end. Because he knows it's too early to be happy. The annual award season can be said to be a chaotic battlefield with thousands of troops swarming in. No one knows how the result will develop until the last moment. What's more, the quality of "buried alive" and the level of lanli's performance are still unknown.

After that, Andy changed the topic, "let's leave the future to time. First of all, we need to start from Toronto." If "buried alive" even Toronto's competition list can not be shortlisted, then all the ideas just now are Utopian, "no, we should start with the director first. You give me the contact information of the director, who is also a producer, right? We need to communicate and plan

At this time, lanli has come back to his senses. In the last life, the awarding season of "buried alive" did not get any affirmation, even the nomination. Almost disappeared, so how this life will develop is also a huge unknown.

"I didn't know that the agent of the actor even interfered in the distribution of the film." Lanli calmed down and joked with a smile.

Andy's face is calm, "if it's an independent film, and it's a film in which my actors are the only ones, then, yes, I will interfere in the distribution and promotion of the film. Maybe not directly involved in those jobs, but at least I can get them to find more reliable distribution companies. "

It's hard to imagine the wide network of brokers; The energy of a top agent is also unthinkable.

"Before Toronto, we have a big task to deal with." Andy sorts out his ideas. He just took over the brokerage contract of Langley. Everything has to start from scratch. The "Pacific War" and the potential "buried alive" have the value of further planning. Andy knows that the rest of this year will be very busy, which is a good omen.

"Emmy."

Lenley nodded with a smile and learned that he had won the Emmy nomination only a few hours ago. He didn't have much sense of reality. "I just heard the news this afternoon."

"The Pacific War is definitely a big hit." Andy made a conclusion in a word. With his introduction, lanli finally understood the Emmy nominations this year.

In the miniseries and TV and film departments of the "Pacific War", the competition this year is somewhat unbalanced. The competition for miniseries is not fierce at all. In the end, only the "Pacific War" and "crandford Chronicle" were shortlisted for nomination; However, the competition for TV and film is particularly fierce. Six works have won the nomination, including "autistic journey", "doctor of death", "special relationship", "lunar probe", "end of the game" and "Georgia o'keefer".

Therefore, in the overall project and technical projects, the "Pacific War" has an absolute advantage, but it will face a severe test in the merger and competition projects of director, screenwriter, actor and TV movie.

However, relying on the huge advantages of the technology department, the "Pacific War" won 24 nominations. Among them, the best director, best screenwriter, best photography and best visual effects departments were all double nominees, and the best mixing department occupied four of the five nominations. In terms of the number of nominations, the "Pacific War" surpassed the "brothers company", Another record high.

However, the biggest breakthrough of the "Pacific War" undoubtedly came from the nomination of best actor, which complemented Judi Dench of the "cradford Chronicle" and became the mainstay of this year's miniseries. There were 20 nominations in the Acting Department, with only two in the miniseries and 18 in the TV and film departments.

Even among the 20 nominees, Langley is the most remarkable one. He is only 20 years old. His first work is a mini drama focusing on war scenes and a drama series dominated by group plays. However, relying on delicate and solid, profound and remote performance, lanli has successfully won the favor of the judges and won the first nomination in his career. It is a blockbuster!

The real blockbuster.

"When you attend the award ceremony, you will be the focus of everyone's attention. Before that, you were a nobody, a nobody, and no one knew your name; But now, you have the qualification to compete with Al Pacino and Jeff Bridges. No matter what the result is, you've made it

Andy didn't mean his exclamation. Looking at Lan Li in front of him, he suddenly had an idea, so he asked, "do you want to win the prize?"

"Yes." Lan Li's answer is crisp, concise and clear, without any circuitous and euphemistic, which directly indicates the state of mind. Even in the face of four senior actors, even in the face of four Oscar level actors, even in the face of long-standing and flourishing actors, even in the face of her debut nomination, lenley still did not flinch or hesitate.

Andy's smile fell to the bottom of his eyes and nodded involuntarily. "Then we'd better start with suits. The red carpet is where everything starts."
