Chapter 376

The elegant melody flows slowly like moonlight, passing through the quiet darkness, gurgling like smoke and fog. It is not abrupt and sharp at all. On the contrary, it has a soft texture of silk. It is dense in the dark night like ink, like the thin fog swirling in the green mountain forest. It is magnificent, which makes the mystery and tranquility of the night tinged with a trace of artistic beauty.

That's Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suite.

The cell phone on the bedside table reverberates tirelessly, and the cello suite rings again and again. Lan Li turned over and continued to fall asleep in a daze. The classical melody that reverberated in the space made him close his eyes and quietly immerse himself in the auditory enjoyment brought by the musical notation and score.

The melody finally stopped.

Lanli fell asleep again.

The winter in New York is very cold. The whole world is dyed white and piercing cold. Just standing on the street for two minutes, the whole person seems to fall into the Hudson River. The sharp wind stimulates the pores and blood everywhere, almost freezing into ice. Such weather is the best time to hibernate.

"Bang bang", there was a dull knock on the door, which woke up Lan Li again. He closed his eyes tightly and was lazy all over. He didn't mean to say goodbye to the warm quilt.

If the visitor is a stranger, knock on the door for a while and get no response, he will leave naturally; If the visitors are acquaintances, they know where the key is.

Sure enough, after a while, the knock on the door stopped, and then you could hear the sound of the key opening the door. The sound of the sliding door was even more noisy. A cold air swept in and swept away the warm and sticky air in the room. With a crisp sound of "pa", the Milky light slowly fell down, and the darkness disappeared like a rolling tide, The light spread its tentacles and slowly occupied the whole space within the line of sight.

Andy Rogers looked at the room at random, clean and tidy. All the things were put in the original position. Even the suitcase that lanli had just pulled back from Sundance had been packed up and there was no trace in his sight.

Just in this scene, he knew that the room had been tidied up. He didn't know whether it was Nathan or Matthew, but it was definitely not lanli.

Stepping to the front of the partition screen, he knocked on the wooden door. Andy raised his voice and said, "lanli, are you awake?"

The answer to Andy was a moment of silence. He didn't worry. He stood in the same place quietly. After a few seconds, lanli's lazy and hoarse voice came over, "what time is it now?"

"Two o'clock in the afternoon." Andy simply replied, "I know it's your vacation, but I only had three hours before I went to Philadelphia. There are some things I need to discuss with you face to face. "

"... give me ten minutes."

Andy nodded, did not continue to pester, directly turned to the hall. On the table in the living room are some yesterday's newspapers. After the end of Sundance, the Oscar nomination was announced immediately, and the major news media were fried.

On the one hand, everyone is condemning the college for being too conservative, and the performance of "generation Y" this year is far more worthy of affirmation; On the other hand, everyone is looking forward to the duel between Natalie and Annette, and many film critics are even more looking forward to Natalie's winning. The black spot of the double door is one thing, and the expectation of the new generation to take over the inheritance is another.

Of course, this is not the only thing on the list of Oscar nominees. Major media have started to make special topics to analyze the gains and losses in the first half of the award season.

For Andy, this year is perfect enough, he really can't ask for more.

Just five months ago, Langley just won the Emmy nomination by virtue of the "Pacific War", and he also successfully accepted Langley's brokerage contract; As time flies, Langley not only pocketed the Emmy, but also won a special award from the Sundance jury. He even won his first Oscar nomination for best actor and his first commercial film performance.

Even the most daring, arrogant, radical and confident top brokers, even the top brokers of innovative artists agency, dare not expect to achieve more wonderful results.

Andy once imagined that if "buried alive" could get the Oscar nomination, it would be good; Andy also imagined that if "crazy love" could achieve the breakthrough of independent film, it would be good. However, when these "imaginations" really come true, Andy is a little bit frightened, because everything is so beautiful that it has no sense of reality.

So, although it's time for the college's public relations to start in full swing, every nominees are launching their final sprint for the little golden man; However, we should not be too greedy.

At the age of 21 this year, Langley, who has only contributed two films - "buried alive" is still his big screen debut, and has entered the decisive stage of the Oscar. This is an incredible victory, especially after winning over "127 Hours" James Franco.

Now, almost all the media are hyping the confrontation between Langley and James. The confrontation between the two people since Toronto has reached its peak in the recent two days. The media is not afraid to continue to stir up the flames. If one of them can't help yelling, it's really wonderful.

It can be imagined that Lan Li, who became famous as a young man, has already stood on the crest of the wave.

At such a time, it's not so much chasing the illusory little golden man - Colin Firth is estimated to be the most popular person this year, which is hard for others to compete with; It's better to step back in a hurry and be down-to-earth in the shooting of the works to show more professional attitude.

So, after the end of the Sundance Film Festival, Andy generously gave lenley a week's holiday, away from Los Angeles, let lenley relax.

Now, for Andy, Oscar is no longer the first priority, and lanli's next choice is, which is really a headache.

The excellent performance of three consecutive works has raised people's expectations of lanli to a new height. The next commercial film like "speed and passion 5" is not only a buffer, but also a good touchstone. But after that?

Choose a moderate or even bad work at will, and then overthrow the reputation of the three works? Eager to make quick profits by choosing a commercial film, making a lot of money while the momentum is booming, and then squandering the reputation that the independent film industry has so hard to build up?

Andy knows that it is extremely difficult to surpass the peaks of "buried alive" and "crazy love", but at least it should be kept at the same level. Andy can't help remembering that lanli had decided "crazy love" on his own when he was in triliuride. It can be seen that lanli has his own understanding and attitude towards scripts and characters. Maybe he can collect some independent film projects for lanli to choose.

But that's the problem. Whether it's an independent work or a commercial film, there are too few roles suitable for Langley. Because lanli is too young!

Since Hollywood's main consumer group is the middle class, aged 30 to 49, regardless of gender, the main characters in mainstream movies will keep their age in such a range. There are only a few scripts belonging to young people, and they have to be of high quality, which makes it even more difficult.

Last time, Andy found "bad boss" and "speed and passion 5", which took a lot of effort. This is one of the reasons why Andy nodded and agreed to play "crazy love"; Now, Langley goes a step further, which brings a great challenge to Andy's selection of scripts.

Lanli's youth won him a lot of praise, but it also brought more obstacles to his career. If Langley wants to achieve more in the future, then Andy must be cautious and more cautious.

Sure enough, nothing in the world is perfect. Everything is a double-edged sword. The key lies in how to look at it and how to use it.

To tell you the truth, if you just choose some young campus comedies, or supporting roles in commercial blockbusters, or just a random role in the rotten boy Gang comedies, it's not a difficult task. Andy can easily find a lot of contacts with innovative artist agency companies. But Andy doesn't want to make do with it, let alone be casual.

In fact, the scope of lanli's performance has been very broad. In the two works "buried alive" and "speed and passion 5", lanli plays the role of about 30 years old, which not only has no problem, but also has been affirmed by the producers.

So, Andy knows that what he needs is to calm down, not to be impatient, to choose and search slowly. Truly excellent works need more patience.

In the thinking room, the sound of water in the bathroom has stopped. After a while, Andy saw that lanli wore a simple white T-shirt with black sweatpants and came barefoot. His wet hair was dripping with water. His lazy and elegant temperament had an indescribable flavor.

Lanli went to the window and opened the blinds. The thin sunlight fell on the white snow and refracted in. The whole room became bright in an instant. Then he came to the direction of the sofa group. "You've come to New York specially. Obviously there's something important."

Lan Li looked around. "However, I didn't see you bring the script to the door, which means it's not a new job; You didn't ask Nathan to come. It's not a PR event. So, what's the important thing about you interrupting my hibernation? "

Andy couldn't help smiling, nodding and affirming, "I've come here to talk about the manager with you."

"Manager?" Lanli sat down and wiped his hair for a moment. "And then?"
