Chapter 617

Tom Cruise is a model of how influential Hollywood's top stars are. He not only had his own royal team, after taking over a script, he took over the production of the whole work, focusing on him from the beginning to the end, tailor-made; In addition, the selection of other actors by the crew must be decided by his nod, and even the selection of the heroine should be done by him.

This is true of "chivalrous Detective Jack", of "lost battlefield", and of "tomorrow's edge". This is the real top producer; In contrast, van diesel is only a junior producer in the "speed and passion" group.

In other words, without Tom, there would be no "tomorrow's edge" of the previous life, let alone the success or failure of the box office. Success is due to Tom; It's Tom who failed. This is a paradox, but it's normal in Hollywood. "Shadow" is another case.

What about this time?

Can tomorrow's edge be shot without Tom? Without Tom, screenwriting, production, lighting, photography, art and other links will all be reshuffled. Can "tomorrow's edge" guarantee the quality of the last life? In the absence of a major brand, is the director willing to take over, or is the director willing to accept it?

In the absence of Tom, the cast's co actors are bound to have earth shaking changes with the last life. Can we guarantee that "tomorrow's edge" will win the hearts of film critics? Without Tom, the investment cost and publicity budget of Warner Bros. are bound to change dramatically. Can "tomorrow's edge" break the previous situation and achieve a box office success?

……

"Lan Li?" Andy and Roy exchange a sight. Lanli takes the script and is stunned for a long time. It's like he's lost in thought. It reminds people of his usual state of reading the script in the crew. But for ten minutes, lanli doesn't say a word and doesn't move. They are worried. Finally, Andy calls out.

Langley jumps out of his mind, raises his head, and then sees Andy and Roy's inquiring eyes. His mind begins to come back.

"It's late today. You've just come back from your holiday. Have a good rest." Andy then said, "these two plays are here first. You read them first, and then we'll discuss them." With that, Andy is ready to get up and leave.

"Aren't we fighting for time now?" Lanli's voice stopped Andy's action, and then he saw the confident and calm smile on lanli's face, "otherwise, you won't be able to wait all night, and you will come directly tonight."

Andy's eyes flashed a smile, "even if you are anxious, you won't be anxious in these days. This is not a fast changing stock market. " Along with that, Andy's words relaxed.

Time must be urgent. The more time he has left for him, the more space he will have. Recently, Universal Pictures has been acting frequently. Andy's idea is to take advantage of the recent Toronto Film Festival and the release of "crazy love". However, it takes time for Langley to read the script, and he must be busy in the next period of time, so Andy gives Langley the script as soon as possible to give him enough time to read the script in depth.

"But if the decision can be made as soon as possible, I can get into work as soon as possible, which is certainly a good thing." Andy went on to say that his eyes were always on lanli. He couldn't figure out lanli's idea at the moment.

"Then you can get in touch with tomorrow's edge. As for Tim Lewis or anyone else, that's your job Blue Li dry crisp ground says.

Andy habitually smiles to hide his surprise, but then realizes that it's not his opponent but his partner in front of him. His surprised look gradually reveals itself. His eyebrows can't help frowning. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Without any hesitation, and without any hesitation, lanli calmly and firmly accepted, "I will read both scripts further, even if it is not for the audition, I will finish reading them. In this way, even if I choose the wrong one, I can express my regret by messing up the audition

Looking at lanli's joking mind, Andy's surprise gradually turned into a real smile, "I mean, are you sure? Is there no other choice? "

"You mean the other scripts of the last time?" Lenley opened the window and said, "I've read all the scripts. I'm not interested in Quentin." Lanli solemnly declares his position to Roy and Andy. Their humorous tone makes them exchange their eyes and see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"In other words, I agree with Roy's conclusion." "Dragon Tiger youth team" and "ring messenger" are worthy of consideration. " Lanli gave Roy a formal affirmation. Although the three didn't show it on the surface, this sentence has a different weight in everyone's heart. At least, the cooperation has a good start. "But the 'Dragon Tiger junior team' is no longer in the game. As for the 'ring messenger'..."

After a pause at the end of the speech, he said, "I haven't read the script of tomorrow's edge yet, so I can't make a judgment. However, the themes and types of the two works are similar, and the characters may have something in common. So no matter which one you choose, it doesn't seem to make much difference. However, I declare in advance that if the script of "tomorrow's edge" is too bad, then I still insist on "ring messenger". In other words, "the shadow" also retains opportunities. "

Finally, Andy chuckled. Lan Li's tone can be heard, he is not really interested in "shadow", theme, style, type, role, it seems that can not stimulate Lan Li's interest. But lanli hasn't completely refused yet. It's just for Andy's face.

However, Andy has no way to give up "shadow" directly. To be honest, among all the projects at present, "shadow" has the biggest chance of success and is the most suitable one. But Andy also needs to rethink, can Langley really adapt to Johnny's style?

"OK, I see." Andy still has some hesitation in his heart, but he knows that lanli is not an impulsive and willful person. Since he has made a decision, it must be after careful consideration. Moreover, first "ring messenger", then "tomorrow's edge", which also shows that Langley is interested in science fiction movies, which is a good thing.

Even if the final cooperation project is not "shadow", but "tomorrow's edge", or even "ring messenger", this is an acceptable result. If he couldn't accept it, Andy wouldn't have submitted the scripts in the first place. Even if Lan Li plans to play "perfect tone", he can only agree with tears.

"Read the script first, and I'll take care of the rest." Before leaving, Andy said so. Then, he and Roy said goodbye. The informal meeting tonight came to an end.

However, Lan Li did not rush to sleep, but really began to read the script of "tomorrow's edge". It's a tough choice for Andy, but it's not hard for lenley.

Science fiction movies, which are really challenging types of movies. Now there are a wide range of types of science fiction movies, "alien" is science fiction, "Mars rescue" is science fiction, "Moon" is science fiction, "gravity" is science fiction. There must be a reason why this type of film can last for a long time and continue to produce excellent works.

Personally, lenley likes a lot of science fiction movies. The greatest sense of achievement in playing science fiction movies is not in the performance itself, but in living in the space of human exploration of fantasy, the unknown, the known and the mystery, whether it's space, the space shuttle of different dimensions, or the black hole theory, whether it's a high-cost business masterpiece or a small cost independent work, in a world full of dimensions and longitude, This in itself is a great pleasure for actors.

What's more, "tomorrow's edge" is a commercial film that lanli likes very much.

As works with similar themes, "source code", "circular emissary" and "tomorrow's edge" have more or less similarities. Everyone has their own favorite types. In fact, in terms of media comprehensive evaluation, "circular emissary" has the highest score of 84, while "source code" has the same score as "tomorrow's edge" in 74, However, in terms of box office, none of the three works is amazing. The global 370 million of "tomorrow's edge" easily smashes two competitors. Of course, Tom Cruise's factor must be taken into consideration.

As far as lanli is concerned, his favorite is "tomorrow's edge".

As a popcorn commercial film, the plot of "tomorrow's edge" is simple, but the role building, main line promotion and branch line assistance complement each other. The story's promotion is flowing, the narrative rhythm is smooth and bright, and the reflection and core of dragonfly water are enough to support the whole film. Not only the process of watching the film is full of enjoyment, but also the effect of watching the film is enjoyable.

What's more, Tom's role as William cage in the last life was too stereotyped, almost following Tom's usual routine and setting. There was nothing new in the role. During the performance, Tom was even a little stiff, and some scenes made people feel embarrassed and strangled.

But what if it's Langley? If the play doesn't need to be completely centered on Tom, then can we reduce some Shuai plots and add some plots related to the main line and the role; Is it possible to reduce the stereotyped love story of some leading men and women, and increase some full character plots such as comrades in arms?

Compared with the two works of "tomorrow's edge" and "ring messenger", lanli himself prefers the former“ Compared with "tomorrow's edge" and "speed and passion 6", lanli would choose the former. Now, the opportunity is in front of him, and he will not miss it.

Although, without Tom, "tomorrow's edge" may no longer be the "tomorrow's edge" that Langley saw in his last life; Although, without Tom, "tomorrow's edge" is like a time bomb, there are too many uncertain factors. But no matter what the result is, we always know after trying. Fear before fighting is never the style of Lan Li.

The first step is to read the script. To be exact, read the original script without Tom Cruise.
