Chapter 971

"So, what's going on? I thought you were not going to take over the project for the time being; Moreover, after the Oscar, we have to conduct more reviews and discussions. Are you sure there is no problem? Choose such a commercial film? " Andy takes back his thoughts and goes back to business.

For more than three months, Andy tirelessly selected the right project to plan for the next step of lanli; But now, when a work is published, it completely disrupts his plan. This kind of feeling is a little bit oppressive. However, Andy did not forget to complain, the topic eventually started around the blue.

"Yes, I'm not going to take the project for the time being." "Before the west end and Broadway show, I won't play in this work. This is my first request for cooperation. So Broadway is still not going to disrupt the plan. We're going to tour New York. "

Andy opens his mouth slightly, and David doesn't mention it on the phone. "I thought you liked the script very much, eh, 'gravity'

"Yes, I like it very much. To be honest, I can't wait now. " But it still can't shake my persistence. The west end and Broadway performances will be completed smoothly. Besides, I have no problem with the performances we talked about before. I won't shorten the performance schedule. "

Later, Langley added, "the only pity is that I promised Emma that if the tour can continue and I have time, I would like to go back to the stage again. But if I take 'gravity', I'm afraid that promise can't be realized."

When Broadway is over, it will be October at the earliest.

Andy was a little relieved when he realized that. This means that there is no problem with his work rhythm. Alfonso Caron is an accident, and this accident is actually positive - as an actor, Langley's strength and ability have been recognized, and he is also a front-line director in the industry.

However, Andy sincerely expressed his concern, "can you tell me something about this movie? What moved you? "

Andy knows that lanli, the so-called little golden man curse, has no influence on lanli at all; Even if he knew it, Lan Li must have laughed it off. He would not care about it at all. It's Andy's job and Andy's duty to plan the development path after Oscar. Therefore, he doesn't intend to have an in-depth conversation with Langley about the seriousness of the matter. It's enough for him to consider, draw a conclusion and tell Langley.

At the same time, Andy also knows Langley, he is a very pure actor. For him and the creative artists agency, for the media reporters and the general audience, choosing the west end is a retreat and a gesture; But for lanli, from the beginning to the end, it's all about performance, performance, performance. Everything is only about performance.

"Gravity" can move Lan Li, certainly not because Alfonso's personal visit, there must be other reasons.

The first is "crazy love" and the second is "detached". The directors of these two works took the initiative to find lanli, and finally reached a cooperation. The former brought lanli an Oscar, and the latter brought lanli a Berlin Film king. Now, it's gravity.

So, Andy's job now is to have an in-depth understanding of "gravity", comprehensively consider it, and then discuss with his colleagues to give a reasonable suggestion, and even the future planning, so as to pave the way for lanli's work.

"Well, you mean beyond the challenge of acting, right?" Lanli and Andy are old friends. They can understand the meaning of Andy's words. Just for the sake of performance, this is enough to be the reason why Lan Li nodded and agreed; But obviously Andy needs more reasons.

Andy's hearty laughter came from his cell phone, indicating his affirmation.

Lan Li can't help smiling, "the breakthrough of visual effect.". This is a performance environment totally different from that of the stage, which brings the art of making dreams into full play. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements, even unimaginable requirements, for the performance of the actors. " Lan Li sorted out his words and said very seriously, "I'm not talking about the green screen technology performance like Avatar. It's more difficult and novel. I think..."

Lan Li pondered for a moment, searching for the concept of comparison. "It's a bit like inception." Christopher Nolan insists on shooting movies in the way of real scene and film. Although Alfonso Caron uses a lot of computer special effects, in a way, the creation of weightless environment is a kind of real scene.

"Yes, I would say it's a combination of inception and avatar. Its breakthrough in visual effects is unimaginable, and it also brings incomparable challenges to the actors. " Lan Li concluded that although the metaphor is not appropriate, it still conveys the effect on the spiritual level.

Andy looks surprised.

Alfonso's two previous works, "the son of man" and "Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban", have distinctive styles and distinctive features, which indeed bring imagination in terms of visual effects; But at the same time, Alfonso's excavation of the ideological core is too deep and too dark, which affects the effect of commercial films, and then affects the box office.

But now, he compares gravity with two top commercial films, which is really novel.

"You mean that gravity's technological innovation in visual effects is even more than that of avatar and inception." Andy transforms Langley's words into his own understanding.

Lan Li simply nodded and affirmed, "yes. I think the most interesting part is that Alfonso tries to make a commercial film, because he has learned from the previous two works, and he needs to focus more on rhythm control and climax preparation; Then put all the weight of the core on the actors. Do you see what I mean? "

Ordinary audience, enjoy visual effects, taste popcorn; Senior audience, appreciate the spiritual core, accept the shock.

That's what Langley means. Andy instantly understood, but he frowned slightly and asked curiously, "do you believe Alfonso can do it?" This is not an easy thing, even James Cameron and Christopher Nolan have not been able to achieve the perfect balance.

"Ha ha. Why not try it? " Lan Li replied with a rhetorical question, but his relaxed tone revealed his affirmation.

Andy patted his belly with a meaningful look.

If lanli's description can be realized, there is no doubt that "gravity" is the best choice to break the little golden man's curse.

In terms of art, lanli can prove his value as an actor once again, and explore deeper performance difficulties at the same time; On the commercial side, the film can further test the market temperature. So far, lanli has no commercial blockbuster which is the only choice - "tomorrow's edge" will be released next month.

Even if the commercial box office fails, people can still see Langley's profound acting skills in commercial films, which is even further than "speed and passion 5"; At the same time, breakthroughs can also be made in performance. As Lan Li said, challenging a new way of performance can also be recognized by film critics and college judges at the artistic level.

Perfect. This is the perfect choice. Langley can be invincible and break the shackles after the Oscar.

Of course, the premise is that everything can be completed as planned and as expected.

Still, Andy wants to applaud for lenley. Now, there's one question left, and it's Andy's job, "what about the pay? What about the treatment? Do you have any dealings with Alfonso? David, there's no leak here. I haven't inquired yet. "

"Ha." Lanli directly chuckled, Andy at the other end of the phone confused, and then lanli explained, "Alfonso is an honest director, honest man, please don't bully him." With this sentence, Andy can't help laughing. "He promised me 20 million dollars, and then there's a box office bonus."

"..." Rao, who is used to seeing countless people in the world, opens his mouth wide and looks stunned.

"I know." "First of all, the technical part of the film costs a lot of money. I don't know how much Warner Brothers is willing to invest, but what I can be sure is that in order to ensure the quality, maybe I should be a little more astringent and don't rush for 20 million yuan."

"Secondly, Alfonso promised all the rights as much as possible, but I don't think the producers and Warner Brothers will be happy with his choice, so let's not intensify the conflict. I'm looking forward to him directing the film." Langley continued, "I can't think of any director other than him who can take over the project, so my request is that I want to cooperate with Alfonso. Without Alfonso, there would be no follow-up. "

Lanli and Andy have been working together for such a long time. They both have a tacit understanding. In a few words, they have exchanged their ideas, and they are very smooth.

Andy nodded. "I understand." He needs to do more research and then review the whole project; However, if there is no accident, maybe this is the perfect choice to break the curse of little golden man.

Realizing this, Andy relaxed a little. For the whole Hollywood, the curse of the little golden man is unpredictable and unpredictable. Even the top actors and agents may fall here. Even Andy is afraid.

If it can be broken smoothly, it can't be better.

"The negotiation of Broadway's performance schedule is coming to an end. They still hope you can perform more, but we will discuss the specific issues." Andy simply explained, "by the way, I've been so busy recently that I have a bad memory. Before gravity, I've actually screened out several projects. I'll fax them to Nathan later. Let's see if you're willing to read them. "

After pondering for a moment, Andy rearranged his mind again. "And, brother Cohen, do you know them? They called me twice to ask for your contact information. "
