In the face of Barry, lanli can feel the pressure coming from his face, especially the sharp and fierce eyes, which really shows the momentum of the overlord.
It seems that there is no change in the expression, but the slightly coagulated eyes bring great pressure. It seems that because of lanli's frankness and frankness, Barry's sensitive nerves are angered, and his voice is slightly tense. "You know, there is more than one way to deal with the script."
"For example, after signing the contract, we will discuss with the screenwriter and director to complete the script creation; Another example is to join the production team as a producer and get the right to review and modify the script. It's all OK. " Barry said in a deep voice, staring at Lan Li, and finally hummed, "it's not reasonable to put on such a posture before shooting."
The momentum of the superior was fully displayed, but for Lan Li, the sense of oppression and influence was very little.
In the upper class, he has long been used to such a posture, and almost everyone can feel the pressure. Other people don't say that, just like George hall and alf hall.
In the face of Barry's pressing step by step, instead of nervous, Langley outlined a smile, "Mr. Meyer, I know, why didn't I play the sequel of 'speed and passion'
Barry didn't like it.
"Mr. Mayer" is a honorary name, but it has an ironic effect when used in a special context. On the surface, Lan Li's manner was gentle and elegant. It seemed that he didn't enhance his momentum and launched a tit for tat confrontation. He just responded calmly. However, the look between the eyebrows and the tone in the conversation subtly reversed the momentum of both sides.
"There are a lot of rumors in the industry. It should not be a secret. It's true that because I'm not satisfied with the pay, I finally turned down the invitation for the sequel. " Lanli's frank, let Barry's eyes show a touch of deep meaning, "in fact, for whether to play in the sequel, I don't have too many opinions, also didn't participate in it, all the things to my agent to deal with."
What does this sentence mean?
"As far as I am concerned, I am an actor and just an actor; I don't have much interest in the work of a producer. I've tried the work of a screenwriter, but it's hard for me to contribute except for my mouth. It's best for me to devote myself to the work of an actor. So, without the script, I would not be able to work, and naturally I would not be able to make judgments. "
The rhythm and rhythm of Lan Li's speech present a kind of gentle posture, and the corners of his mouth are always smiling; But the position in the discourse is extremely firm, with irrefutable determination and perseverance.
Barry frowned slightly, looked at Lan Li with burning eyes, and said nothing. He didn't seem to want to respond to Lan Li's speech at all, so he let the atmosphere harden little by little; And Lan Li did not show weakness, did not continue to speak, calmly met Barry's eyes, gradually, gradually embarrassed, but Lan Li is still happy.
For a moment, it seems that there is a deadlock between the two people.
"Pop, pop." Barry raised his hands, patted them gently, clapped, and broke the silence. There was a faint smile on his face, just like ice and snow melting, and the whole atmosphere warmed up.
Gently shaking his head, Barry's face re hung a smile, with a word to make a decision, "worthy of the name."
Before he came to London, Barry had heard that Langley was a hard nut to crack. He had no desire and no desire. All his attention was focused on the performance. He didn't seem to have too many demands on the film remuneration, CO actors and box office bonus.
This kind of actor, can be said to be the simplest, the film company does not need to divide the dividend, can fully maximize the benefits; But it's also the most complicated one. Characters and scripts have to be picky and picky again. There are too many artistic uncertainties.
At that time, Barry didn't pay attention to it. He thought it was just a smoke bomb made by his agent. He created a bad tempered image of European actors and established the attitude of a professional actor. After all, lanli is too young. Few young people have such a clear goal.
But now, Barry finally has a real and direct experience.
Still, Barry said, "you know what? Your way of dealing with it is still too astringent and sharp. If you are not careful, you will offend people. "
"So universal pictures doesn't talk to me anymore." Barry was stunned by lanli's self teasing, then slapped his thigh and laughed happily.
In the face of such a superior as Barry Meyer, if he complains and shrinks, Barry will not sympathize or pity at all. Instead, he will take advantage of it and even forget it. He can't leave any impression in Barry's mind because there are so many ordinary people; Therefore, lanli must clearly state his position and show a tough stance.
However, what Barry said is reasonable. With such a high attitude and strong collision, the result is often difficult to predict.
As a result, lenley and Harvey Weinstein, Universal Pictures, almost can be said to be a shot two scattered; While Woody Allen, Tony kayer, Steven Spielberg and others, Langley became friends with them.
After a little trial, Barry did not continue to talk nonsense, but went straight to the theme, "about the sequel, we have contacted the author of the original novel, hoping that he can create a second novel, and then our team will adapt the script."
"For such a story from the mysterious East, we need to handle it carefully. I've heard before that the core of the story is related to the Oriental samsara. I don't quite understand it, but it's estimated that it's the butterfly effect and the time-space shuttle. Such a story may lead to a disastrous loss of public praise if we are not careful. We have to be careful. "
This time, Barry's words were not concise, and he talked about the preparations for the sequel of "tomorrow's edge".
"Indeed, we want to make a sequel. If we can, trilogy is the best; But we want to make a sequel that really makes money. " Barry did not exaggerate to cover up his real purpose, such a frank attitude, but more convincing, which makes blue Li laugh.
"If I can, I hope to keep the whole cast and crew of CASS. From the conception stage, you and Paul will join in the planning of the sequel, launch brainstorming, collide different ideas, and really continue the story of William cage." The concentration and devotion between the words outline a grand blueprint and highlight Barry's ambition.
Lan Li was a little surprised. He was amazed at Barry's long-term vision and the size of Barry's handwriting. Just now, these short sentences are definitely not as simple as the literal meaning. Sure enough, Barry's next words confirmed Langley's conjecture.
"Maybe we can create a new series just like the Raider." Barry said lightly that it was not a casual hit series, but a series that established Harrison Ford's box office superstar, and at the same time created a series of brilliant sequels“ So, are you interested in becoming the new Indiana Jones? "
Accident, absolutely accident.
Lanli did not expect that the butterfly effect of "tomorrow's edge" was so magnificent; I didn't expect Warner Bros. to be so ambitious.
In the last world, the box office performance of "tomorrow's edge" did not meet expectations, but the excellent reputation and Tom Cruise's appeal still prompted the sequel to be put on the agenda. However, until the rebirth of Langley, the sequel works did not come out, and they were always in a difficult state, so the quality of the sequel was not known.
This time, the box office performance of "tomorrow's edge" far exceeded expectations. Coupled with the outstanding reputation and Warner Brothers' own situation, the weight and status of the sequel suddenly became different.
If lanli participates in the production of the sequel, it will be unknown. Moreover, lanli will really integrate his artistic conception and actor's perception into the film works as an actor and from the height of producer.
Lanli is not interested in the work of a producer, but standing at the height of the whole work, looking down on the role and reflecting on the performance is another way to polish his acting skills.
This commitment is not just a sequel or two, it can even be said that it is a different plan for the career of lanli actors.
It's obviously not that simple. Even Lan Li's heart was trembling slightly; But soon, Langley calmed down and tried to suppress the excitement and excitement in his chest. "I'm not sure if I'm interested in becoming the next Indiana Jones, but I'm sure I'm willing to participate in the sequel of tomorrow's edge, even if I'm not the hero."
At this moment, things have been out of the scope of the actor's work. Just relying on personal judgment, Langley can't see the overall picture clearly. He needs the help of professionals, Andy Rogers, Roy rockery, and even Lydia Brooks. This is their major and their strong point.
Although Lan Li didn't nod his head directly, he gave a positive response.
For Barry, that's enough.
As the helmsman, what Barry needs to do is to present the blueprint of the sequel and explore the attitude of Langley, which is all; For follow-up matters, Barry and lanli will all step out and discuss with their own team. After making a decision, the two sides will meet again to discuss the interests and specific project matters.
Barry has completed half of his mission to London this time, and the other half is not the distant future, but the immediate moment, which is equally important.
