20 million? Plus dividends?
Even if Robert Downey Jr. plays "Iron Man 3", in fact, that's the treatment. You know, the production cost of Iron Man 3 is 200 million US dollars; The production cost of "gravity" is only 100 million, what's more, the technical support of the latter also costs more. Obviously, Alfonso has no idea how much balance there is in the crew's bank account.
However, there is no difference between Alfonso's budget figures and the book of heaven.
The point is that Alfonso is not joking. He has a sincere face. Even though he knew that he was sincere, he could not help laughing, "Alfonso, thank you for your kindness. But, I think, you should not have the right to decide. " There is no detailed explanation and negotiation, just a smirk.
Alfonso was a little stunned, and then he came back to himself, with a shy smile on his face. He mumbled and tried to explain, but he couldn't say it again. He was a little embarrassed.
It's interesting to do so. After wallowing in Hollywood for such a long time, Langley has never seen it before. "20 million yuan, wow, thank you. Now I feel like a king. Does that mean that I will work very hard in the next shooting stage? You know, I have to pay as much as I get?"
Alfonso smiles awkwardly, and his real intention is seen through.
However, lanli did not seem to mind, Alfonso immediately recovered, "yes, I'll tell David my thoughts and opinions later, and strive for your interests as much as possible." Lan Li is willing to nod to join, which is really too rare, he still does not feel very real.
David Hyman, the producer of the Harry Potter series, is also a ticket provider for the Almeida theater. He's the main producer of gravity, representing Warner Bros.
It is worth noting that he is British, and the right to adapt the series of "Harry Potter" is in his hands. At the beginning, he was wise enough to tap the market potential of the series. So, even Warner Bros. has always maintained a friendly attitude during their cooperation with David.
In addition, David has produced works such as "I am a legend", "good man", "Paddington Bear". His contacts in Britain and Europe are absolutely top notch; His style is more low-key than Harvey Weinstein, Jerry brookheimer and others. He can be regarded as one of the most representative gold medal producers in Britain.
"Do you want to read the play?" Alfonso once again returned to the topic he was good at. "Your opinion just now is very important. I think maybe you can generate more inspiration after reading the script. We can discuss it in depth. By the way, you just mentioned that movie, "tree of life"? Is the photographer Emmanuel lubezki? He mentioned working with Terence Marek on a project before. Is this one? "
Emmanuel lubezki, who worked with Alfonso on "the son of man" and "so does your mother.". He is also Mexican. Among the three great men in Mexico, Emmanuel has the best personal relationship with Alfonso.
"Yes." After Lan Li gave a positive reply, Alfonso suddenly realized and nodded in affirmation, "then I know which one it is. I've only watched the trailer before, and I haven't had time to watch the whole work yet. "
The conversation goes on.
After full devotion, Alfonso was a little carried away and talked about the whole plan of gravity, from the conception stage to script creation, to technical research, and finally back to the role itself.
After brunch, lanli and Alfonso enjoy a cup of coffee and continue to talk. Excited, Langley also found several books about philosophy, life and astronomy from the bookshelf, and took Matthew to discuss them together - so Paul, who was not interested in these contents at all, became a nanny.
If it wasn't for lunch time, meDo, Tom and bill would be hungry. I'm afraid the conversation between lanli and Alfonso would not be over for the time being.
"Lanli, if you have any ideas later, can I send you an email, and then we can communicate?" Before leaving, Alfonso took the initiative to say, "you know, because all the core of the film is in the protagonist, I need to..."
Aware of Alfonso's anxious explanation, Lan Li chuckled, which made Alfonso's words stop. Half of the words stopped there awkwardly. Lan Li took the lead and said, "no problem. But my reply may not be timely. If there is something urgent, you can contact Nathan. "
"Of course!" Alfonso nodded knowingly. In the next few months, "les miserables" is still lanli's top priority, and "gravity" must stand back; Moreover, the intensity and intensity of the Almeida theatre is by no means easy.
The problem is that Alfonso is an extremely sincere, serious and enthusiastic personality. After that, the average daily frequency of five e-mails, unremitting to send mail to blue.
On the peak day, I sent 18 e-mails from morning to night, telling me my ideas about the plot and the role, then overturning, rewriting, overturning and rewriting. At the end of the day, Jonas, Alfonso's son, sent an email saying, "after our discussion, the original version seems to be the best. What do you think?"
In this regard, lanli is a casual and lazy person. Even if he sees the reminders on the application software and the number of e-mails is climbing one by one, he is indifferent. He does not have the obsessive-compulsive disorder of having to clear all those numbers. As a result, he watched the number of unread e-mails on the mobile app rise all the way to "35" and still let it go.
However, it was a torture for Matthew.
Later, after a whole day's performance, Matthew simply sorted out all the emails, organized and thought clearly, and compiled all the contents of the emails into a list for the convenience of reading; After reading, lanli puts forward his own ideas and opinions, which are sorted out by Matthew, and then sent an email reply.
Communication is also very smooth.
What seems simple is the most difficult. Because simple content doesn't mean simple kernel.
After seeing off Alfonso, Lan Li greets a large group of guests at home, ready to leave home and go out for dinner.
Tom Holland was stunned. "Aren't we, at home, eating..." When speaking, word by word to cut off, stuttering full of expectations, but also had to hide.
"No, we don't eat at home." Lan Li said with a smile, "go, I'll take you to dinner."
For nobles, it's not easy to entertain guests at home. Even if it's a small private banquet, the ceremony is also very grand. Generally speaking, it's rare to entertain friends at home. Even friends are still estranged; Of course, for young people like them, this rule is not applicable for a long time, but eating at home is very troublesome——
Cooking is never easy.
Bill scarsgarde and Tom Holland dropped their shoulders like balloons; On the other hand, meDo Ryan said, "I thought you would cook yourself. I'm looking forward to having a taste of your craft. "
"Aha." Lan Li sighed a little, but didn't explain further. He raised his voice and said, "I'll go upstairs and get a coat, and we can start."
Looking at the confusion and bewilderment on the faces of the three little guys, Matthew explained, "believe me, you don't want to try."
Matthew has known Langley for such a long time. The only time he saw Langley cooking was when he was at Eton school.
At that time, lanli almost burned the whole kitchen, and all the pots and cooking utensils were destroyed, which was comparable to the end of the world - in fact, the neighbors called the police, they thought there was a fire, but the firemen arrived at the scene in a hurry, fortunately, no damage was caused.
Food? Yes, if a piece of black carbon that can't identify the ingredients can be counted. To be honest, Matthew is not sure if he will get food poisoning if he swallows it. Andre tried bravely, with a wonderful expression.
"I'm more curious when you say that." MeDo couldn't wait to ask. Tom and bill nodded, too. Then all three of them looked at Paul. Compared with the iceberg faced Matthew, Paul is much more amiable.
Paul raised his hands regretfully, smiling, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. So far, I haven't tasted it. But I believe in Matthew. Matthew is an honest man, isn't he
Matthew looked at Paul without expression. After a pause, he said, "this is the first time I've heard someone use 'honesty' to describe a lawyer."
shark. That's what Europeans and Americans describe lawyers. Sharks in suits, except for a small number of civil rights lawyers, most lawyers, for ordinary people, are villains who eat people without spitting.
Paul spread out his hands with an innocent smile. "What's the matter? I've met you several times. You've always been friendly."
Matthew's eyes flicked. "Why, do you want me to be a lawyer?" The calm tone revealed a trace of cold, chilling.
Paul showed his teeth, neat and white - like a shark. "I hope I don't have a day when I need a lawyer." His sincere and friendly reply made Matthew feel weak for a while, so he turned his head and walked towards the door. "Have you driven here? If not, we'd better call a taxi in advance now. "
"Matthew, lunch at the Riverside Restaurant." Lanli's voice came down from the building.
"Riverside? Are you sure? Don't you like their appetizers and desserts? " Ma Xiuyang responded.
"It's OK, just go there." "You can call Michael Roux in advance and ask for the lunch menu today," he said cheerfully. I think it should be good. "
"Are you sure you don't want to go to Gordon Ramsay?"
"By the river. It's quieter there, bray
Standing in the hall of Paul and others: a blank face.
