Alfonso Caron touched his hair astringently, but his curly hair couldn't be smoothed at all; Then he put one hand into his hair and kneaded it. He messed up his hair. With an apologetic smile on his face, his words became stumbling again. It was not as fluent and smooth as before. "Sorry, I forgot. You... Er, I haven't agreed to join in yet. Sorry."
Lenley likes directors like this.
Drake doremus, Tony Kaye and Alfonso Caron are all directors like this. Maybe they have achieved great achievements, maybe not, but they always insist on their dream of film and create a world of fantastic ideas in their own way.
Actors try to present a life; And the director tries to sketch a corner of the world. In a sense, they all remind Langley of George strand.
"I think it's my pleasure." Lanli answered with a slight shrug and a smile.
Lanli has never been an indecisive personality. He likes it when he likes it and hates it when he hates it. Now it's the same. Since he has made a judgment in his heart and is eager to try, he nodded his head and agreed.
Things are so simple and pure, just like the original choice of "crazy love". Nothing seems to have changed, even after the Berlin Film king and Oscar winner.
Then, Lan Li seriously joined the discussion and expressed his views, "personally, the so-called survival of the fittest is an objective environment. In some circumstances, women are more likely to survive than men, while in others, the opposite is true
The knife and fork in his hands still did not stop, cutting the pancakes on the plate, but the brain gradually began to move, and Langley really began to build the role of Ryan stone in his mind.
Strictly speaking, the role of Ryan is relatively weak. The whole film reflects the birth of human beings through a role. Ryan's own experience and story are no longer important. In the vast universe, Ryan is so small. Does this mean that the film will be the stage of expressionism?
However, from another point of view, outer space is a very special closed environment, in which Ryan, from panic, fear to loneliness, vulnerability and even despair, finally regains his spirits, makes a strong breakthrough and seeks for life. The whole process is a vein, the vein of the birth of human beings, the vein of the origin of the earth, but rooted in Ryan's personal experience.
In short, Ryan is a unique individual. From a grain of dust to the whole universe, "Ryan stone" is also unique and cannot be copied. Then, the foundation of Methodist acting can not be ignored.
This reminds Lan Li of the transformation of "detached" film. The initial integration of Methodist acting and expressionist acting brings some inspiration, but it is not enough to go through the whole process. Perhaps, this time the "gravity" can become a breakthrough in progress.
"Now the point is, who is more likely to survive in outer space, in the environment built by the script? In my opinion, you should abandon the shackles brought about by gender and simply think about two characters. Who has a greater chance of survival, then leave the one
Lanli's idea gradually opened up and constructed a relatively complete "gravity" world system. Of course, it needs to be further improved, but the core idea is clear.
"It's like... Er, just like twins. Under extreme cruelty, doctors can only choose the one with a higher survival rate, not because of which one was born first, or because of which one reserved boys or girls. Therefore, the key point of the play is to create such a bad environment and put the mystery of the natural law first. "
In the last life, Alfonso and Jonas wrote the "gravity" script, which followed the minimalist style, weakened the influence of lines as much as possible, and was completely driven by the turning point of the plot. The original script was nominated by the British Academy of film and Television Arts Award, but it was wrongly nominated by the American writers' Union and the Oscar.
It's the same now. Under the premise of minimalism, the writer's writing style needs to reduce lines and inner monologue as much as possible, and enrich the story with more plots.
As Langley said, the two characters, regardless of gender, are exposed to what environment, what difficulties they face, and what pressure the natural law of survival of the fittest brings, which ultimately makes Ryan stone survive. This is the key point and the skill of the screenwriter.
After expressing his thoughts, lanli noticed Alfonso's silence, raised his eyes, showed a big smile and joked, "of course, this is just my personal idea. For the screenwriter, the idea is always wonderful, but the implementation is always extremely difficult. Don't look at my easy words, but if I am allowed to write, I think I will choose to give up. "
Alfonso finally responded at this time, "er..." protracted the ending, full of countless hesitation and confusion, "did I hear wrong? You just said, would you like to join gravity? Or is there something wrong with my understanding? " Alfonso began to doubt his hearing system.
"Ha." Lanli chuckled, put down his knife and fork, and said solemnly, "Mr. Alfonso Caron, you heard me right. I hope to be a member of this work, and I also hope to meet this extremely difficult challenge. The premise is, please allow me to successfully complete the west end and Broadway performances. But if... "
"No if, no if!" Alfonso flurried to interrupt Lan Li's words, quickly stretched out his hands, took the initiative to hold Lan Li's right hand, "it's settled. Langley hall, I'm officially confirming that you are the leading actor of gravity. There is no one else but you. As for the schedule, we can discuss it. We can discuss it slowly. "
Lan Li folded the fingertips of his right hand and shook it gently. "I'm glad to cooperate with you."
It is confirmed that the next work of lanli will be "gravity".
Since the end of "tomorrow's edge" at the beginning of the year, lanli has not contacted any film projects. After twists and turns, "gravity" has become lanli's choice. It is also a commercial film, an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, and the cooperation of special directors. However, what sparks will be produced this time?
After releasing his right hand, Alfonso was really too happy, but he didn't know how to express his emotion. He just laughed brightly and was very brilliant. That clean smile looks like a child“ Wait, what do you have... I mean, do you have any special requirements? For example, what's the pay? For example, what's the pay for the set? Or, for example, CO actors? And so on. "
Blue Li picked up the knife and fork again, continued his unfinished brunch, eyebrow tail gently raised, "I don't know, I have so many privileges now, this should be a good thing?"
Alfonso scratched his head shyly. "I'm not sure, but I'm one of the producers, and you have all the priorities within my purview." That generous gesture, can't wait to give all the rights to Lan Li, once again show their sincerity.
Such a producer, for the production company, is a disaster, all the benefits will be handed out; But for actors, it's very lucky.
The process of making "tomorrow's edge" is relaxed and pleasant, and many of lanli's suggestions and opinions have been adopted; Moreover, in the process of shooting, it was beyond the budget. Warner Bros. also waved his hand and approved it directly without any hesitation. The whole production process is enjoyable.
However, those requirements did not fall on the paper in black and white. In other words, the producers, Frank Marshall and Tim Lewis, can completely refuse all the requests of Langley and complete the whole film according to their own ideas.
Just like Paul Walker's previous position in the "speed and passion" series, the producers of Paul's opinions are bound to give reference and satisfy them to the greatest extent; But under van diesel's opposition, Paul's request may still be rejected, and diesel's opinion is the most important. As a result, in "speed and passion 5", those racing scenes and Shuai scenes were all handed over to diesel.
Now, Paul is one of the producers on speed and passion 6, so the situation is very different. So, when we come to the "gravity" drama group, has the position of lanli changed?
Producers like Alfonso, without any reservation, argument, or even discussion, readily and neatly deliver all their rights. They have a completely "I can give you the world as long as you like" attitude. For the production company, it is estimated that it will hurt to death.
In fact, Lan Li is a little curious. After Warner brothers know Alfonso's statement, how will they react. But
"Thank you." Lan Li politely expressed his thanks. "However, I don't think you and I have the right to make decisions on these contents. Why don't we leave it all to professionals, what do you think? "
For matters other than the performance, lanli has never been involved, leaving it to Andy. In fact, neither pay nor privilege is a problem. In the final analysis, lanli pays attention to the performance and the related parts of the performance, such as the script, the requirements of the director, and the co actors.
As for the film remuneration, the 10 million yuan of "tomorrow's edge" still has 5% of the box office bonus. The only idea in lanli's mind now is that he can buy some extreme sports equipment, and he has not considered how to spend the rest. When the accumulation of money exceeds a certain amount, it is just a series of figures.
Of course, Langley seriously thinks that he should ask Andre and Matthew how to manage his own assets, otherwise, it doesn't seem right to leave them in the bank and accumulate dust.
"Of course!" Alfonso nodded heavily, and his excitement still did not subside. "What do you think of the 20 million yuan pay? In addition, there is no problem with the box office bonus. The success or failure of the whole movie depends on you. I think the bonus is natural. "
20 million? Plus dividends?
