Looking back a few years ago, not long after the premiere of "Pacific War", Andy was optimistic about the prospect of lanli, so he paid a personal visit to lanli. Unexpectedly, lanli was extremely difficult, arrogant, self-conscious, smart and rational. Under the circuitous turning point, after Andy looked at the cottage, he successfully signed a contract with lanli.
At that time, Andy's only thought was: finally!
But now, as time goes by, Andy's renewal of his contract with Langley doesn't take much effort. Just a phone call, even less than 30 seconds, Langley put a contract worth tens of millions of dollars in front of Andy, and lightly extended the cooperative relationship between them.
Before, the brokerage industry once made an estimate. Now the value of lanli's brokerage contract is at least 10 million to 15 million per year. This is only a conservative estimate. If you are bold, 20 million will be stable.
It is worth noting that this refers specifically to the income of brokers, rather than the income of lanli - the top five brokerage companies headed by the innovative artists brokerage company, with a percentage of 10%.
This is now the industry for blue gift market value of a forecast.
Why is lanli so popular? Even inside the agency of innovative artists, they don't hesitate to stab in the back? That's why.
For Andy, this contract worth tens of millions is extremely important; But what is more precious is the trust from Lan Li, which is irreplaceable. Rao is experiencing numerous storms, Andy's nose is still slightly sour.
Then, Langley and Andy officially completed the renewal, cleanly ended all the confusion, however, before hanging up the phone, Langley said, "this time, remember not to tell Matthew."
After the contract renewal, "drunken folk" is Lan Li's first job.
Although Lan Li joked that the pay for the film was only 500000 yuan, the creative artists agency didn't look up to it at all, which was really unfavorable for Andy's internal situation in the company; But the reality is different.
When Andy and lenley complete the contract renewal, Andy's position and weight in the company have been completely different.
Everyone knows that this is not only a contract, but also the trust from Langley, just as Johnny Depp trusted Tracy Jacobs. Next, no matter what works Langley plays, as long as he can continue to succeed, Andy's position will not be shaken. Compared with short-term interests, long-term interests are the most important.
So, just now Andy said that he has a chance to become a partner of the company this year.
What's more, "drunken folk songs" are not casual works.
On the one hand, the cooperation between Langley and the Cohen brothers is highly anticipated. This is the second time that Langley has cooperated with top directors after Alfonso Caron. The road of actors is becoming more and more steady. Apart from the quality of the finished film, such a strong alliance is good for the future development of young actors.
On the other hand, after a big round, lanli joined the "drunken folk" group. At the beginning, Andy can see that Langley sincerely wants to play in this work, so in the past six months, Andy has been paying attention to the trend of the cast, and has been maintaining the communication with the Cohen brothers——
At the last moment, the Cohen brothers went to Surrey photography base, which was also facilitated by Andy.
This is called "cooperation", the cooperation between agents and actors. Andy makes full use of his own resources and ability to realize the wishes of actors, which is far from the value that "pay 500000" can represent. Now, the partnership between the two is still on the right path.
As a result, "gravity" has just finished, and "drunken ballad" has been ready to start up. Now we just wait for lanli to leave the UK and fly to New York. Then, we can start up at any time.
There are absolutely many works and production teams that will be launched in January. Many independent films are willing to choose this schedule to put into the production cycle; But in Hollywood, it's rare, because it's the busiest time of the awards season, because it's the time of the year's statistical harvest, because it's the busiest time of public relations.
Especially for those employees like Cohen brothers and Langley, who have been able to occupy an important position in the award season, we can't miss them.
But for the Cohen brothers, the long wait finally ushered in the most favorite actors, they can't wait to get into work. What's more, this year's award season has not much to do with them, nor with blue Lee.
At this moment, on the North American continent, the awarding season of 2012 is in full swing. All seed players are gradually coming to the fore, and with the Golden Globe Award Ceremony approaching, attention and attention continue to rise. There is no doubt that this is the busiest season in Hollywood.
In the past few years, Lan Li, who has always been dazzling and strong, has been silent for the first time this year.
"Detached" is still mentioned by people from time to time, but it is more of a strangler. He marvels at the absolute performance strength, but also regrets that such a performance can not enter the award season.
However, this is the award season. The weakness and slack of public relations are fatal to any award season work; What's more, the style and theme of "detached" do not conform to the orientation of Oscar. As a result, the focus of attention and topic quickly shifted to the seed players of this year's award season, leaving lanli behind in the twinkling of an eye.
In mid January, when all eyes were focused on the upcoming Golden Globe Awards, "Hollywood Reporter" updated a new industry news unrelated to the Golden Globe Awards:
"The first cooperation between Langley hall and the Cohen brothers has been officially confirmed."
In the detailed report, they said that Langley, who is now filming "gravity" in the UK, has not finished the production yet, and the next work has been decided. Langley will work with the Cohen brothers, the big brothers of the independent film industry, to make a work about folk songs.
After internal confirmation, Joel Cohen made it clear that one of the important sources of inspiration for the film is Langley and his album Don Quixote, which directly contributed to the birth of the hero Levine Davis.
There is no doubt that Lan Li is the leading actor worthy of the number one candidate. Because of the schedule before, the cooperation was not achieved, but after twists and turns, they finally won the joining of lanli.
On the one hand, they are the flag figures of American independent films, on the other hand, they are the acting representatives of the new generation of independent films. This time, the cooperation between the two sides has also attracted much expectation and attention.
"It is reported that after the shooting of gravity, lanli will immediately rush to New York to put into the preliminary preparation and rehearsal of the new work, and join in the new work seamlessly.
At present, in addition to the actor Langley, the actors who are determined include Kerry Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman and Garrett Hedlund. The casting has been basically completed and will be officially filmed next week. "
This piece of news from "Hollywood Reporter" is undoubtedly a blockbuster!
For a long time, the Cohen brothers always like to use big name actors, such as George Clooney, Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Baden, Catherine Zeta Jones, and so on. They are not popular stars like the Avengers League, but they are all top actors with high reputation in the industry and highly recognized by professionals, and finally form a strong cast, To create a work of the Cohen brothers' own style.
This time is no exception.
Kerry Mulligan, who has a firm place in Hollywood with "growth education", John Goodman, who is known as the most popular supporting actor in Hollywood, Garnett Hedland, the representative of the new generation of tough guys, and Justin Timberlake, who has become a symbol of American popular culture
Such a powerful Cass finally invited lanli to join us and completed all the puzzles!
It's absolutely starry and full of topics. Just staying in the project stage, it's enough to become one of the most anticipated works this year“ "Hollywood Reporter" gave relevant reports at the first time, and gave super high treatment.
Unfortunately, this time's heavy news in the upsurge of the award season, just like a drop of hot oil fell into a pool of cold water, instantly disappeared without a trace, and even no waves were caused, in a flash, it was submerged in the news frenzy.
For ordinary people, the cast of an independent film is definitely not too exciting; The best picture contest between "fleeing from Tehran" and "Lincoln" is definitely more attractive.
For the industry insiders, this news easily attracted their attention, just like the "Hollywood Reporter". Although this year's award season is not over, the combination of lenley and the Cohen brothers seems to have reserved a place in advance for next year's award season.
Unexpected, but also reasonable.
The reason why the awarding season can produce such a huge business effect is that the topic popularity is high, and the star shining focus of attention is overwhelming; Comparatively speaking, the blue ceremony, which has been disappearing in public for more than half a year continuously because of "tragic world" and "gravity", naturally can not shake the strong momentum of the whole award season.
For the first time in recent years, lanli's new work has not attracted any attention. There is no expectation, no criticism, no discussion and no opinion. It is like a breeze blowing past, but there are no ripples left. In an instant, it calms down.
It's a good thing for Langley.
First, "drunken folk songs" can be put into shooting; Secondly, lanli can have a good rest, which is exactly what he needs now.
When he arrived at London Heathrow International Airport, blue Li, with a wool hat in a low profile, did not cause any disturbance and attention. He quietly and smoothly got on the plane and embarked on the journey of returning to New York.
