"I'd like to come and discuss with you the next selection plan."
Andy didn't beat around the Bush and pick out the theme, which is the top priority of today's interview.
As an agent, Andy has many different arrangements and combinations in his mind. He plans Lanley's next work. He clearly knows that whether it is a commercial film or an art film, there is no right choice or wrong choice. The focus is on the script and CASS. To ensure the quality of the work is the core.
Then wait for the release of "speed and passion 5" and see the market reaction before making further decisions.
However, lanli has a clear understanding of his acting career. When he signed the contract, Andy realized this. Therefore, before making the next plan, Andy needs to have a simple communication with Langley and exchange their opinions. This is the basis of long-term cooperation.
Andy's expectation of lanli is more than just a star.
"Recently, there have been quite a few phone calls asking about your projects." Andy's smiling eyes with a trace of banter, and even can capture a trace of schadenfreude.
This sentence itself is nothing strange. With the award-winning of Sundance and the nomination of Oscar, the name of "Langley hall" began to spread gradually. With the help of innovative artists agency, the number of projects interested in Langley increased steadily, which is a matter of course.
But Andy's tone is really worth pondering. Lanli's water drinking action stops for a moment, which can make the steady Andy show such a look. He can't help but be curious. He raises his head and casts a suspicious sight.
Andy rarely sold a pass, did not immediately say the answer, which is really rare.
Lan Li became more and more curious, but he was calm and didn't break the silence. He asked and drank slowly. He was sleepy. Now his throat is very dry. He needs water.
Looking at Lan Li in front of him, Andy doesn't continue to mystify and reveal the answer, "break dawn."
Lanli's head turned around, but he didn't remember which movie was called "dawn". The point is that it can make Andy show the look of mischief. It should be a mischievous work, or a work with deviated style. Lanli tries to think in a corner, but he can't find any object in his mind.
Andy added, "vampire."
Lanli stopped for half a second, then choked, but the water in his throat was choked before he could put it into his stomach. He almost spurted all the water out of his mouth.
The aristocratic etiquette education of this life launched the conditioned reflex, controlled the muscles forcefully, swallowed the water directly, and gave a dull cough, "cough", but the breath in the chest was still a little disordered, and the taste was really ecstatic.
Andy laughs contentedly. It's rare to see that Lan Li is so embarrassed. The release of this bomb is really worth the ticket price. So, Andy slowly leaned back to the chair, a stable Diaoyutai look, hands on the belly, squinting to show a shallow smile.
Blue Li finally recovered, surprised to look at Andy, "my guess is correct?"
Andy just nodded and affirmed. Then he saw a strange expression on lanli's face. It was funny that he looked funny and ridiculous.
"Twilight 4: Dawn" is what Andy calls the project.
The film, adapted from the best-selling novel, has now made its fourth, the grand finale. This series of films has created a lot of history. For example, the harder the critics scold, the better the box office performance will be. With the bloody situation of being scolded, the global box office of the series of films has reached new highs.
For example, it created a frenzy of young people's adaptation of novels, and then "hunger game", "dissidents", "mobile maze" and so on all derived from it.
Robert Pattinson, for example, became a phenomenal idol actor, triggering a tsunami of fans. Even Justin Bieber is dwarfed.
This is really an interesting phenomenon. For the major film companies, on the one hand, they dislike the low age, fans and vulgarization of this series of films; on the other hand, driven by the supremacy of interests, they hope to copy the box office miracle of the series of films, and simply and rudely create a few youth vase idols to make a lot of money.
But to be sure, the phenomenal performance of "Twilight city" has also aroused the phenomenal disgust of film critics and academics. Some even assert that in the next ten years, none of the film's three leading actors will be able to enter the attention of the award season - even the Golden Globe Award, which is entertainment oriented.
Facts have proved that.
Before starring in "Twilight city", Kristen Stewart was actually a new star of the independent film that attracted much attention. His works such as "living in the wilderness", "trembling space" and "no longer silence" all showed great performance potential and were favored by many independent filmmakers; But after she appeared in this series of films, she became popular all over the world. At the same time, she lost her performance spirit and became "facial paralysis".
Later, with a strong public relations team, Dongshan began to roll in the field of independent film again. The rich resources and excellent performance were amazing. But the awards season still shut it out.
As for Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, they have fallen all the way and are unsustainable.
It is no exaggeration to say that even a number of supporting actors who have played in the series of films have been labeled as vases and idols, and they are more or less constrained in the selection of their later works.
In fact, this is Hollywood's law of inertia, or social law. After Leonardo DiCaprio performed "Titanic" that year, he was faced with the same dilemma. After five years of profligacy, he got back on track.
Although the industry scoffs at the "Twilight city" series, for actors, performance opportunities and film rewards are real rewards, which can also improve their visibility and open the deadlock of their acting career. Why not? Your honey, my arsenic, and vice versa. Therefore, there are countless actors eager to play in the series.
But why did Twilight fall in love with lenley?
The expression of Lan Li is a little strange, "did I do something wrong?"
"Poof Pooh." Andy didn't hold back at last. He laughed directly. He nodded and shook his head, which made lanli smile helplessly. The more he thought about it, the more funny it was. The smile was completely blooming.
"They're just asking about your intentions." Andy explains, "your age is in line with the movie's setting, your appearance is in line with their idea of vampires, and it's important that you have enough popularity now, but it's not too expensive. Lion Gate has a limited budget. "
Speaking of this, Andy himself was a little soft lipped and couldn't help laughing again. "You should know that this movie will be split into two parts in the grand finale, and then there will be a lot of vampires, as if there is a final showdown."
"No, I don't know." Randy's Frank response made Andy laugh more brightly.
Andy didn't continue to joke, not to mention Langley. Even when he received the e-mail, he was stunned and couldn't understand the idea of Lion Gate. Because it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Twilight series.
The only reliable explanation is that in order to inject water into the finale, they hope to absorb some remarkable fresh blood. They are influential but not too famous. They have recognition but not too expensive. The most important thing is that their temperament can meet their set of vampires. In this way, Langley's entry into their waiting list is not so shocking.
Apart from the work itself, this is actually a kind of affirmation for lanli. The rise in popularity, popularity and attention is too rare for lanli, whose two films are independent at present.
"Don't worry, I've turned them down." Andy's mood calms down and he's back to business.
Unexpectedly, Lan Li shrugged, "who knows? Maybe I'll agree. It's a good experience to play vampire. "
Andy's expression is stiff, because lanli's expression is too serious and serious. His eyes also show the light of thinking, which makes people can't tell whether he is joking or not.
"Just like high school students, they perform on the stage, immerse themselves in their own world, pretend to be handsome, and all of them look up to themselves in amazement. It doesn't need skills, it doesn't need methods, it doesn't even need thinking, it's enough to be completely immersed in your own world. "
With that, Langley pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly, as if to agree with his idea. "You know, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have also played vampires. It should be a good experience. "
When he heard "Brad Pitt", Andy finally understood that Langley was joking.
Andy can't help but secretly breathe out a breath, he will never admit that he was almost cheated by lanli just now. Still smiling, he said with approval, "are you sure? If I need to, I can still call them now. I don't think it's a problem. "
"Yes, you should try, and then offer a good price to make a good profit." Lan Li didn't panic and continued to look serious.
In the end, Andy was defeated. The corner of his mouth gently raised, "next is serious..."
Lan Li didn't speak, but spread his hands innocently. His sincere expression seemed to say, "I'm serious. I've always been serious."
Andy choked with an expression, which reminds him of the time when he used to deal with reporters, but now he has a good experience of the feelings of those reporters - this taste is not very good.
"Cough." Andy picked up his glass and took a sip of coke. "Let's get down to business." Andy pretends he doesn't see Langley's teasing eyes. "You know the conversation wasn't serious?" And then he went on, "I think there's a role that's perfect for you."
