Chapter 379

Andy originally just wanted to play a prank. Even as the agent of lanli, he repeatedly marveled that the teenager always showed maturity and steadiness beyond his age, so he was also curious whether lanli would lose his manners when lanli's professionalism encountered a prank.

Now Andy knows a little bit, in the professional aspect, never easily challenge the authority of Langley.

"Actually, I think there is a role that suits you very well." Andy ignores Langley's teasing eyes, skips the proposal of "Twilight" and gets to the point of "Sherlock Holmes 2.". The film is now casting

"Sherlock Holmes", without too much introduction, is one of the three greatest fictional characters in British history, along with doctor mystery and James Bond. There are countless adaptations.

Andy's version, released in 2009, directed by Guy Ritchie and starred by Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law Jr., has achieved remarkable box office results, with an investment of 90 million yuan. It has successfully achieved 200 million box office results in North America and 520 million box office results in the world, which is very gratifying. Therefore, the sequel is undoubtedly included in the plan.

Andy's words did not stop, and he continued to introduce, "in this story, they will introduce the role of Professor Moriarty, Holmes' biggest enemy. I think it's a good choice and a good challenge. "

"But?" Lanli didn't ignore the details in Andy's words. He could smell that there was a "but" behind it. However, Andy didn't say it immediately, so lanli took the initiative to step out.

Andy smiles and nods. "But..." he pauses for half a second, not hiding his regret. "But Warner Brothers thinks you're too young."

In the original novel, Professor Moriarty is undoubtedly Holmes' biggest rival, but also the most charming villain. He has created countless troubles for Holmes, and even forced Holmes to forge his own death. Therefore, whether it's TV adaptation, film adaptation, or stage adaptation, Professor Moriarty is absolutely the most important role.

People's expectation of Professor Moriarty is not only that he can compete with Sherlock Holmes and have a confrontation; But also hope that he can show a strong personality charm, this is a gnashing teeth but let people love the villain role.

With the development and improvement of commercial films, the weight of villain role is also increasing day by day. Only a strong opponent can set off a strong protagonist“ The reason why Batman: Dark Knight goes down in history is that it has dedicated the most wonderful clown in film history“ The reason why Star Trek: the underworld has been scolded by die hard fans is that the creation of Khan, the most wonderful villain in the history of the series of novels, failed completely.

Professor Moriarty, too.

In Andy's view, Langley can definitely give Moriarty a different charm, even magic. At the beginning, when facing the invitation of Thor, Langley showed more interest in rocky than sol himself, which also showed that Langley didn't mind playing a supporting role. What he really saw was always the role itself.

"What do you think? If you're interested, I can talk to Warner Brothers again. " Andy asked carefully, "this villain can not reach the height of a clown, but it can give you a lot of performance space and try different styles. What's more, Guy Ritchie's directing style is more humorous, which can be regarded as a kind of comedy performance. "

Andy didn't forget Langley's interest in comedy.

"No, No." Lan Li showed a shallow smile and shook his head to say no.

Professor Moriarty is really a very interesting character, but it is only limited to the original novel. How he performs in the film depends on the script and the director.

Thanks to the success of the first film and the uproar from many fans, the focus of "Sherlock Holmes 2" is "selling corruption". The love between Sherlock Holmes and Watson has been openly put on the table, even without any cover up. Other roles are just a foil. Moriarty? Not to mention the performance space, even the play is very limited. It's just a gimmick.

Andy didn't read the script, so naturally he didn't know. He thought that lanli was being polite, so he added, "I don't think age is a problem at all. I have some friendship with their producers. I can communicate with them again. At least, I can arrange for you to meet and talk. They will know that age is never the standard to decide whether an actor is excellent or not."

He can feel Andy's confidence and sincerity. "I know age is not a problem. But, in addition, there are many problems, especially such a large group. Is that right? "

Although Andy didn't say much, Langley still smelled a trace.

Smile in the corner of Andy's mouth a little meal, and then outline up, down the line of sight, even without too much explanation, this is the default.

In fact, Guy Ritchie likes the performance of Langley in "buried alive". He is willing to give Langley an audition. After all, Moriarty is originally a fictional character, and the setting of "that woman" has also been changed in this version of his film. Now in the script, it's possible to adjust the professor's age to early 30s.

However, Robert Downey, Jr., after learning the news, he flatly rejected the proposal. On the face of it, the reason he gave was "too young to play". It makes sense.

As Holmes' biggest competitor, Professor Moriarty's age is similar to that of Holmes, or even slightly older, which is a more suitable setting. Langley is only twenty-one years old. As Holmes' biggest opponent in his life, he is too young indeed.

But in fact, Robert's real worry has another reason.

Robert is worried about lanli's rush to play. As a hot and dazzling figure in recent years, people's discussion has always focused on lanli's acting skills. Robert not only needs to worry about the embarrassment and embarrassment of taking away the rhythm of his opponent's performance, but also needs to worry about the effect of the film. Lanli will take away more light, Instead, he became a supporting actor.

It's not just Langley, but also Javier Baden, Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman.

It's humiliating enough to lose in the showdown. If you lose to a 21-year-old kid, it's even more humiliating to lose to grandma's house.

Robert's refusal, firm, there is no room for maneuver.

For such a situation, Andy is helpless, but also helpless. With the iron man's comeback, Robert is really in the ascendant now, and his temper is getting bigger and bigger. He even forbids the media to turn over his past accounts in any form of interview. However, the media can only sneer at him and have nothing to do with him.

Andy originally thought that if Langley was really interested, he would communicate with Gai again and lobby two producers. There is still room for maneuver. However, now that Langley vetoed it, that's all.

Andy's main purpose today is not to finalize the script, otherwise he would not come here empty handed, without any script.

Recently, Andy has been making use of the strong network of innovative artists agency to explore more development opportunities. Thanks to the success of three consecutive works, the number of troupes showing interest in lanli has increased significantly, but now everyone is in the state of exploring and waiting.

Those commercial films are waiting for the feedback of "speed and passion 5"; And those art films are trying to find out the present pay of lanli. As a newcomer, lanli's rising speed is really too fast. We can't accurately grasp the situation and need more time for communication.

In this way, there are many opportunities to come to the door, but everyone is trying. So, Andy needs a clearer idea and then takes the initiative“ Big detective Sherlock Holmes 2 "was rejected by Langley, Andy thought it was normal, which was a reference for his next screenplay screening.

As a good agent, Andy is always ready to deal with all kinds of situations. Langley's career has a fantastic start, and he hopes to continue this one.

Andy did not rashly continue to speak, but calm down and seriously think about it. He searched the reserve items in his mind to find a more suitable object.

Lan Li, however, was not in a hurry. He sat quietly on the opposite side and waited.

After a while, Andy finally looked up. "There's another project. It's special and tricky. " Andy pause for a moment, organization language, "the role is a very interesting character, regarded as the hero, but the focus of this work will be slightly tilted towards the heroine, the weight of the hero is not so heavy."

"However, I think the character itself is worth exploring. His character attributes are not so simple, and the test of the actor is not easy. Of course, this is just my judgment as a layman. It's up to you to judge the specific situation. " Andy's eyes fell on lanli. He found that lanli was still listening attentively and didn't interrupt him. Then he continued, "but there's a thorny problem, just like Sherlock Holmes 2."

Lan Li was dumbfounded.

"The hero's age is set at 43, if I remember correctly." After Andy finished, he couldn't help laughing. It's not easy to find the right role for the 20-year-old - or the right script. "The problem now is that I've just heard about this project for a while and have some simple understanding. If you're interested, I'll contact the crew."

As a leading actor, but the glory was robbed by the heroine, and the age is too old, this is not the best choice.

Lan Li nodded slightly, not anxious to judge, "what's the name of the project?"

"The girl with the dragon tattoo." Andy said so.
