At the beginning, Andy in order to "speed and passion 5" dividend, really a game confrontation, and finally successfully opened the situation.
If it is a commercial film, the box office bonus system is different, and lanli did not participate in it, unable to deeply understand the difficulties of box office bonus; Then lanli felt the same about the cooperation of "crazy love".
From Harvey Weinstein's attitude, it can be seen that many times, producers prefer to pay more money rather than pay dividends to actors.
First, the dividend means that if the income is higher, the actor's income will also be higher, which takes away the interests of the producer; Second, the box office bonus itself is the representative of power, which means that actors can participate in more decision-making and take away the power of producers.
No matter what, the box office bonus is hard enough, but now, Tony not only gives the box office bonus, but also goes a step further, letting out the video bonus - and still taking the initiative, and lenley doesn't even fight for it. Even if it is incredible, it is not enough to describe Tony's forthright and direct.
Lanli knows that both the box office and the video of "chaotuo" have hit the streets. Even if these two parts can get 5% of the dividend, his final film pay is not much higher. But this is not the point. The point is Tony's sincerity and concentration. It really showed lenley Tony's 100% devotion to the film.
Of course, it can be seen from this small detail“ "Chaotuo" should have no intention of looking for other cooperative companies. Maybe Tony's own production company is responsible for the investment and production, so he has the right to share this part of the interests - his own interests.
Such a fool is almost extinct in the colorful and bright Hollywood.
Compared with Woody Allen, compared with Langley himself, Tony is really "crazy about movies", which makes people admire him.
"Do you have any other needs?" After throwing out the bomb in a hurry, Tony still looked at Lan Li attentively and asked, "or do you need to talk more about the pay? The pay may be more difficult, but the dividend..."
Looking at Tony's expression, Langley was dumbfounded, low laughter echoed in his chest, "if you continue, you will be bankrupt." In a way of ridicule, he refused Tony's kindness.
Tony shrugged indifferently. "Opportunities to make money are everywhere, but opportunities for art can't be missed."
Lan Li nodded, "no one wants to miss the inspiration."
This response made Tony laugh. "By the way, I forgot to ask about your schedule." Tony finally thought of it, "we still need a period of preparation time, and we need to find other actors. However, we are independent, so we are more flexible."
After pondering for a moment, Tony said hesitantly, "we expect to start up in April, but if we miss April, we will start up in June at the latest. Is your schedule OK? Or do we need further cooperation and adjustment? " The schedules of independent films are relatively flexible, and there are many factors that affect them, which are quite different from commercial films.
Langley thought of what Andy called "the girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
"No problem." Lenley gave his answer and nodded in the affirmative. "I'd like to play in this work. But I have a problem
Tony and Carl both showed happy expressions, but before they had time to celebrate, they were attracted by lanli's question and stared at lanli. Lanli couldn't help but smile and said, "when can I start reading the script?"
Reading "detached" plays is not to build characters, nor to bring in characters, but to read lines.
For Expressionists, the lines are not the most important. Many times, without the lines, the expression of emotion is still powerful. But it is undeniable that the lines are a very important part of the performance. A truly outstanding academic actor can stand the test of his basic skills of lines.
What's more, "detached" has a lot of monologues and confessions, so the meaning of the lines is even more important.
The caution between Tony's eyebrows dissipated and replaced by real joy. He liked the attitude of Langley, "tomorrow, tomorrow will be fine. You give me your agent's business card and I'll contact him to finish the contract as soon as possible. You can start to read the script, and we can start to prepare for other parts. "
Agent's card.
Lan Li suddenly felt a sense of joy. First George strand, then Tony Kaye. Andy will be very confused when he receives these unplanned calls. As a new actor, he is not very "self-contained".
Tony catches the fun in blue Li's smile and widens his eyes. "What's the matter?"
Lan Li waved his hand. "It's OK." Looking through his wallet, he found that he didn't have the habit of carrying Andy's business card with him. As a result, he took out his mobile phone and said, "otherwise, I will send his phone number to you directly?"
So casual, so direct, and even a little loose. Sure enough, there are more or less similarities between artists.
"No problem." Tony also took out his cell phone and exchanged their phone numbers.
Then, woody inquired about the list of Lanley's performances tonight very seriously. Lanley's previous guess was correct. Woody did bring Tony and Carl here today to enjoy the performance, and then wanted to ask Stanley about Lanley's contact information. In the eyes of an old academic like woody, it's much more convenient than the cast Union.
Lanli really knew nothing about it. After asking Neil at the bar, he came back to explain it.
Just as Langley was about to leave, woody said, "what about you? When are you going to perform on stage? "
"Not tonight, at least." Lanli replied half jokingly.
Tony responded with a chuckle. But woody didn't buy it. It was still a cold expression. "You're a good performer. Maybe you should go on stage more."
This kind of praise really surprised Lan Li.
It can be said that Woody Allen, with a great reputation, has always been picky, mean, funny and abusive. He has never been soft hearted, and never seen who he thought would compromise. Apart from New York, the love of his life, this city always has a special charm under his lens.
Not to mention Langley, even Tony was surprised. Woody shrugged. "I know you're an actor, but the stage itself is part of the show. Maybe, you can perform here and experience life at a time every week. In this small bar, the inclusive things may take your whole life, and you may not be able to understand them. "
Randy remembered one thing. Woody was a saxophone player. Every Monday, he would perform in a bar for 30 years without interruption.
He is a director, but not just a director. All kinds of art forms are essentially the same, reflecting the soul of creators and artists.
In other people's eyes, performing Saxophone every Monday is not a normal job, but also a hobby that has nothing to do with directing work. But who knows? Maybe the reason why woody is able to maintain such a strong creativity at such an old age lies in his performance every Monday.
Lanli thinks that next time he has time, he should make a special trip to watch Woody's performance and New York nightlife in Woody's eyes on a Monday.
"I suddenly became a little curious." Tony looks at lenley with interest.
Woody's words are full of disdain and nitpicking for lanli. He is only 21 years old. No matter how talented he is, the accumulation and polishing of social experience is still not enough. Compared with the previous three works, "detached" Henry is a real experienced and knowledgeable character. His test of actors is omni-directional. No matter how difficult it is to imagine, the actual situation will be ten times more difficult.
But Tony recognized the hidden affirmation. Woody wouldn't have insisted so much if he hadn't been so impressed by Langley's singing. It's really interesting, and Tony can't help looking forward to it.
Lan Li responded with a smile, "that's just waiting for the next time."
It turned out to be closed. It's rare. It's really rare. Tony secretly looked at Woody's face, which added a little stiffness to his disdain and disdain. It was wonderful.
However, Langley was very calm, not nervous or complacent because he refused woody.
Every artist has his own way of creation. There is no right way or wrong way. Woody has his own way, and Langley has his own rhythm, different ways, open the same world, will see different scenes. What suits woody doesn't necessarily suit him; Similarly, what suits him is not necessarily suitable for woody. Langley didn't plan to shake his principles because he was Woody Allen.
What's more, compared with the dedicated Tony, Langley is not doing his job. It's a shame.
Of course, lanli also admits that it is worth affirming that music is used to build a bridge of ideas, and a smooth track is established between himself and his works, between himself and his characters, and between himself and his co actors. At the beginning, the reason why he was able to get the role of Eugene sleigh was that the song "Cleopatra" played an important role.
However, although Langley admired Tony very much, he did not intend to give up his hobbies. Admiration is admiration, but lanli still plans to continue to explore along his own road, to find his own way of creation, looking forward to finally reaching the same end.
After that, Lan Li turned to leave.
Tony watched the figure of lanli leaving and hit woody with his shoulder. His face was full of schadenfreude. Woody rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to it; Sitting opposite Carl, watching the prank Tony, helplessly shook his head and decided not to get involved.
