Chapter 611

In the past few weeks, there have been ups and downs. Andy Rogers and Michael forthrie have launched a battle of wits and bravery, and, of course, the innovative artists agency and universal pictures behind them.

On this side, van diesel, in an interview with the media, constantly released his goodwill and said that he was looking forward to the shooting and cooperation of the sequel. The good chemical reaction of the fifth film made him full of expectations for the future. Although there is no explicit, but the inside and outside of the words are implied: Langley and Paul, please renew the contract as soon as possible.

At the same time, Universal Pictures has been publicizing their sincerity, saying that the negotiation is going on actively. They are very eager for the return of Langley and Paul, and the topic of Luke Hobbes spread widely. But industry news has been rumored, "negotiations have always been deadlocked.".

Public opinion naturally creates a false impression that Langley and Paul are insatiable and do nothing for higher film pay. Needless to say, people are quietly standing on the opposite side of the two.

On the other side, Langley hall disappeared. First, he devoted himself to the "detached" shooting, and then went to the Caribbean for a holiday. He seemed not to care about the negative news at all. He didn't seem to pay much attention to the cooperation between the serials and the outside world. What's more, Paul Walker's colleagues, in sharp contrast to ignoring van diesel's voice across the air, began to question the "harmony" within the cast.

In addition, the inside story of the "speed and passion 5" crew came out. During the shooting period, fan had been aiming at Lan Li. First he was defeated, and then he was secretly framed, which led to the reshuffle of the members of the props team and even the injury of Lan Li. The sources are the actors and anonymous members of the props group. A stone stirs a thousand waves.

On this side, Andy began to run around. Warner Bros., Disney, paramount and Sony made a high-profile attack and blossomed in an all-round way. Besides "speed and passion", they began to select other commercial works for lanli. Thanks to his solid acting skills, excellent appearance and huge commercial potential, Andy's work is very smooth, and many works have expressed his interest.

But interestingly, the current interested projects are still in the exploratory stage, and there is no further information. It can be said that both sides are not in a hurry, or it can be said that it is a smoke bomb. This is Andy's means to exert pressure on Universal Pictures and make them realize that lenley has not only one choice.

On that side, Universal Pictures began to put pressure on the industry through its contacts, and constantly released news in the industry. Now, three sequels of "speed and passion" have been put into planning, of which lanli is the most important part. I hope other troupes can make the schedule convenient. In short, it's actually soft pressure, forcing other groups to think twice before making a decision.

At the same time, universal pictures also claims that it has paid 4 million yuan for lenley's films, and 5 million yuan for Luke Hobbes's films - not mentioned at all in the dividend part, which is the best payment for second tier actors before they enter the first tier. But lanli is still ambitious and demanding more.

This step is undoubtedly looking for an alliance - when the six major film companies increase their film pay, they are an alliance to jointly suppress the actors' film pay, reduce the cost as much as possible, and win more benefits for themselves. Not to mention the accuracy of Universal Pictures' pay figures, their self disclosure gives other companies a measure, which makes Andy's negotiation difficult.

From van diesel to Michael forthrie, and even Lang Meyer, Universal Pictures is working together from top to bottom. Obviously, they don't leave much room for lenley in the cooperation of "speed and passion" sequel.

"At present, there is no follow-up news for the four production groups of 'super warship', 'alien star battlefield', 'Snow White and the hunter', 'dragon and tiger youth team'," he said Andy didn't talk about the details of the process. Langley didn't need to know, but he still said the result. Now the situation they are facing is not easy.

Blue Li slightly picked eyebrows, the other three works even, the "dragon and tiger youth team" actually also played the retreat drum, and even had no face-to-face contact with him. It's really gripping. Personally, he still likes this comedy, and challenge comedy is always full of fun.

But when you think about it, it's no surprise.

"Dragon Tiger youth team" is a work produced by Sony Columbia Pictures, one of the top six; Moreover, the investment cost is only 42 million yuan, and the film payment certainly can't compare with those works whose cost exceeds 100 million yuan; Moreover, lanli has not yet delivered the box office results of comedy works, and "anti cancer me" has not been shown yet.

After comprehensive consideration, they gave up lanli first, which is justifiable.

First it's the "bad boss", then it's the "Dragon Tiger youth team". Lan Li can't help but think seriously. When will his wish to play in a shit comedy come true? It used to be just an idea, but now it's taking root and growing up. The more missed, the more eager.

For the time being, "Dragon Tiger youth team" aside, Andy's meaning is to understand.

Hard and soft, three hand preparation, external and internal forces to compress living space, while continuing to pressure Andy, but at the same time refused to compromise in terms of pay and treatment. Universal Pictures has exhausted its means for the "speed and passion" series, which reminds lanli of the original state of dawn Johnson.

"Isn't there any other rumor in the industry that Universal Pictures has contacted dawn Johnson or something?" Lanli not only did not have the slightest nervousness, but also half jokingly gave advice to Universal Pictures.

Andy closed his jaw with satisfaction. Lanli's reaction was expected, unexpected and even relaxed. "Yes, the news coming out now is that dawn Johnson, Jason stanson, Scott Eastwood and Chris Hemsworth. These are the candidates for the time being. "

The original dawn Johnson is now Langley hall.

The meaning of universal pictures can't be understood any more: no one in Hollywood is irreplaceable. We have shown enough sincerity. Please don't push any further.

Objectively speaking, compared with Dao en last year, the treatment given by universal pictures to Lan Li has been greatly improved. They really show their sincerity. But the problem is that Langley is not dawn.

"Hoo, cause and effect cycle, around a circle, back to the origin." Lan Li was still in the mood to joke. He took a sip of beer and said happily.

A year ago, "speed and passion 5" crew and Donne Johnson's pay negotiations reached an impasse, Donne did not give up, so Andy took advantage of the situation, carefully designed, schemed and then moved, with the intention to defeat the unintentional, not only successfully won the work for blue Lee, but also won the right to box office dividends. And dawn eventually joined the "death squads" crew.

A year later, the negotiations between the "speed and passion" sequel team and lenley hall were deadlocked. Is it the actor's fault, or the crew's fault and the film company's fault that such a familiar situation should be staged again?

"So what about the follow-up news?" Lanli knows that they have discussed before, and Andy's arrangement for this period of time is also in accordance with the plan. He must have made a breakthrough now, and the time is pressing, so he chose to follow so anxiously tonight.

Looking at lanli's complacent appearance, Andy knows that this is his trust. However, he joked, "can't you cooperate with the performance? Let me feel some sense of accomplishment? "

Recently, Andy has been hanging on Universal Pictures. He didn't refuse them, but he didn't push forward the negotiation. There's a reason for everything.

On the one hand, Andy is really working on the "speed and passion" sequel. Langley can play in it, but the film pay must not be too low to let Universal Pictures, the grandstand, succeed easily; On the other hand, Andy has always been dragging Universal Pictures. He knows that this year's situation is different from that of last year. The lenley version of Hobbes has won the audience's recognition, so it is impossible for the crew to change actors as easily as last year. Therefore, the longer he delays, the more unfavorable the situation of universal pictures will be. In other words, the more room Paul Walker will have to improve his pay, The more actors who take over from Langley, the more they can talk.

It's like Andy took the box office bonus last year.

In a nutshell, even if Langley doesn't play in the sequel, Andy wants universal to lose a piece of meat. Michael's teasing and ridicule is part of the reason, and universal pictures does not pay attention to the meritorious blue Li is another part of the reason. In order to achieve this goal, Andy has been very busy recently. He thinks he is going to lose weight.

But in the face of Andy's ridicule, Langley just shrugged his shoulders, and seemed to feel that this sentence had no value in response. Then Andy heard Roy's low laughter, and even he couldn't help smiling. Then he didn't continue to sell the key points and directly cut into the theme, "I just finished the meeting and got two projects from Warner Brothers. Each of the two projects has its own advantages and disadvantages. In addition to the projects screened by Roy, we need to make a decision as soon as possible to make use of the recent momentum to strive for higher film remuneration and release news before Universal Pictures comes back to its senses. "

Before that, Andy's contact with major film companies has never made substantial progress, which makes universal pictures have the illusion that all this is just Andy's smoke bomb; However, if Andy's plan to hide behind the scenes is seen through, universal pictures will be the first to take the lead. Whether it's rejecting lanli, interrupting the negotiation, or putting further pressure on the moral high ground through the media, lanli will fall into a disadvantageous situation.

So they not only need to keep a low profile, they also need to race against Michael. In Andy's view, "Pioneer Village night" and the Toronto Film Festival are just the right time to win them some time.

"No problem." Lan Li didn't procrastinate. He nodded to show that he was ready.

Andy shows a satisfied smile, and then takes out two plays from his briefcase.
