Chapter 580

Tonight's lanli is slightly different, but I can't tell why. In front of the three people did not think much, just as Langley and Paul go out, enjoy the time between friends, relax, so the mood is particularly happy. Since lanli has already said "nothing", it should be nothing.

Roy sensed the inquiry from Langley and shook his head. "I don't know what's going on. Andy called and said, "I must be there. I'll talk about the details after we meet.". We've been waiting for you since we met. "

Andy took the conversation and nodded in affirmation, but before he could speak, the sound of shooting came out of the window again. There was a moment of silence in the room, but there was no panic. After waiting for a while, Andy continued, "yes, I called Roy here."

"Now that Roy is your manager, I'll only hear from Roy in the future, whether it's business or private. Of course, you must be the first to be informed of important things, but in order to avoid the situation that you are filming, or you are on a trip... "Andy said simply, and then he saw that Langley nodded with a smile to show that he understood, and he stopped in time.

As for the distribution of responsibilities between managers and brokers, there is no strict official distribution, but it needs to be run in slowly in the process of cooperation. In Hollywood, it's not uncommon for managers to sell artists for profit, or for managers and artists to split their faces for profit. Even the relationship between brothers and sisters, even the relationship between close friends, is not uncommon.

There is even such a situation. The agent submits a project to the manager and thinks that his artist is very suitable. However, the manager conceals it privately and then transfers it to another artist. After making a big profit, he breaks up with his artist and goes away.

In the final analysis, it is the artist's own measurement and control, how to make full use of managers and brokers, properly manage their own business, and then achieve higher success. This is a science. Andy didn't go on explaining, because he believed that Langley clearly understood this, so he didn't have to add to the story.

"In a word, we need to cooperate well in the future, so I think we need to meet formally and communicate formally. Today's thing was said on the phone, but I need to go to Warner Brothers tomorrow. I thought it was a good opportunity, so I came here In a few words, Andy explained the whole story of the incident clearly, "lanli, won't it affect your shooting work tomorrow?"

The situation in the period of "anti-cancer me" is still fresh in my mind, and Andy can't help but have some taboos.

But Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth, looked down at his watch and said, "you still have 28 minutes." This kind of ridicule calms Andy down, and the Maitreya like smile on his face becomes more and more brilliant.

"Then I'll make a long story short." Andy immediately cut into the theme, "now universal pictures is considering the issue of 'speed and passion' sequel, I think their sincerity is not enough, and they don't give lenley enough respect; And fan played an important role behind it. " Andy doesn't intend to say too much about the small moves behind Universal Pictures. This is something he needs to deal with. Lanli doesn't need to know.

Roy raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "are you afraid of van diesel?"

"Ha ha." Andy laughs. "He's the least important part. The reason why he is mentioned is just the attitude of Tyrone Meyer The tone of indifference revealed a strong disdain.

In the layman's view, the collision between agents and big name actors is bound to be that actors have the upper hand. In fact, it is not. Except for actors like Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, their influence on film companies is real. Even the six major film companies will consider their opinions, and other actors still can't get rid of the identity of "chess pieces".

To sum up, if the interests are in the first place, then everything will be easy; If interests are no longer available, there will be no use value.

Take Tom Cruise as an example, his importance is not only because of the box office appeal, otherwise after "mission impossible", cruise failed so many works in a row, and the film company would have abandoned him long ago; But because of his own brand benefits, as well as the huge network of interests maintained behind him.

The name "Tom Cruise" itself is a brand that has been in operation for nearly 30 years. He can get the first money for the projects for the directors whose native place is unknown, he can promote the unknown actors whose names have never been heard of, he can quickly form a whole production team through familiar producers, and he can also exert influence on the academy public relations of an award season work through his friends

Behind this name, there is a network, from a big name like producer to a small role like field chronicle, from a top film critic to an amateur paparazzi, presenting a pyramid structure, forming an important part of the whole Hollywood world. It's not that they can call the wind and the rain, otherwise "Tom" won't struggle for so many years and won't get an Oscar, but their extended interests can penetrate into all aspects of the film industry.

When an actor reaches the height of Tom Cruise, they get rid of the identity of "chess piece".

As for van diesel, although his fame as a producer of the "speed and passion" series is boundless, he has little influence outside the series. Once the box office of "speed and passion" collapses, he will be useless.

Therefore, if Andy wants to really suppress the role model, he doesn't need to face up at all. He just needs to put other actors on the waiting list of all action movies, such as dawn Johnson, Jason stanson, Paul Walker, Matt Damon, Hugh Jackman, Jeremy Reiner... Although action movies are no longer as glorious as they were, But there are still a large number of male actors who want to be in the top position, not to mention those new actors who have never had the chance to stand out.

Not only Andy, but also the agents of other actors will strive for it. Andy only needs to boost the flames behind his back, and fan will be in a mess.

In Hollywood, there are many ways to teach a person a lesson; Want to teach a person, and let the other party dumb eat Coptis, methods are also numerous. Andy is a capable agent, and standing behind him is a more capable innovative artist agency. A "Van Diesel" has never been the object he needs to worry about, and the impact of the threat is not even comparable to Chris Hemsworth.

Strategically, we despise our opponents, but tactically, we must attach importance to them. In fact, in this "speed and passion" sequel cooperation, fan is a stone that can't get around. This is also the reason why Andy visited in person today, and even the reason why Andy went to Warner Bros tomorrow.

What matters is not fan, but Lan Li's attitude.

If lanli is going to play in the sequel of "speed and passion", how to skillfully grasp the advance and retreat, frighten fan, at the same time, let Universal Film compromise, but also strive for more rights and interests for lanli, and remain invincible in the sequel shooting, which needs to be planned slowly.

Now it's different from the situation during the shooting of the fifth film. The shooting task is not imminent. The importance of lanli needs to constantly add chips, balance skills, and strategy. We can teach fan a lesson, but we must think about the means to teach him a lesson. After all, fan is still the real power producer of the series of films. Plot or plot, it depends on everyone's skill.

If Langley is not going to play the sequel of "speed and passion", then things will be quite different.

In order not to affect Langley's decision, Andy omits all these considerations and goes directly to the whole, "what do you think about the sequel? Universal's current plan is to shoot two sequels together, just like the second and third of Pirates of the Caribbean, and then set up another biography for Hobbes, with Hobbes as the absolute protagonist. "I'll shoot it first, then I'll shoot the sequel."

With such a large amount of money, Lan Li could not help picking his eyebrows. But if you think about it carefully, although the role of dawn Johnson in the last generation is very popular, there is no such thing as spreading it. So, is history changed because of his little butterfly, or is the story of the last world put on the table but failed?

In any case, the determination and determination of universal pictures are admired by lanli. At least, in the "speed and passion" series, Universal Pictures still shows the style of the six major film companies.

"And about the pay." Andy's words are still not finished, "I know you don't care about the pay, but I have to care. Universal Pictures offered a package agreement of 3.5 million units at the same price. My personal opinion, this is a figure that is very disrespectful, even an insult. "

Roy frowned and said in surprise, "what's the matter with universal pictures?"

Not to mention where the current film payment of lanli can be located, maybe after the seesaw war, it will finally settle at 3.5 million. But now Universal Pictures has shown such a superior and proud attitude, which is obviously disrespectful to lanli.

Andy didn't say a word with a smile. Roy reacted immediately, then looked at lanli and joked, "did you rob fan's girlfriend, or what's the matter? I think your aesthetic taste should be different from that of fan. "

Lan Li shrugged, "who knows it's not because of love?" So bold ridicule let everybody Leng Leng, immediately all stuffy ground laughed, "since you are so dissatisfied with words, that calculate."

It's so concise and crisp that Roy and Nathan don't react. Andy is familiar with the style of Langley and seems to have expected the result, but he still asks, "I thought you would want to continue to play. Apart from fan, don't you get along well with the rest of the crew? And then there's Paul
