"On the two or three events between universal pictures and Langley hall."
This may be a small paper to seriously discuss the evolution of the relationship between the two and satisfy people's curiosity. Why does Lang always refuse to communicate with Lan Li? What's more, why did Lang always turn Lan Li away and the bad relationship never improved?
As we all know, Hollywood is a circle where interests are supreme. As long as there are enough interests, there are no conflicts that can not be solved. Except for the personal enmity like Michael Eisner and Jeffrey carsenberg, everything can be negotiated. Even if it is not a smile, it can at least put aside differences for the time being and fight for the same interests.
Now, lanli has become one of the top performers in the whole Hollywood industry. Whether it's the box office boom of "tomorrow's edge" or the award peak of the youngest Oscar winner in film history, it means that lanli is unique and unique. Just look at Warner Brothers' attitude, Every film company and every film project hopes to cooperate with lenley.
What's more, lanli's "speed and passion 5" has created a series of new highs and won great popularity. In anyone's opinion, it's a happy cooperation. So why does Lang still refuse to reconcile with lanli?
The reason is simple but complex.
First of all, when Langley left "speed and passion 6", it triggered a chain effect. Universal Pictures invited Donne Johnson and Jason stanson to play the sixth episode of the series at a higher price; At the same time, other actors headed by Paul Walker have also seen a rise in their pay. For Universal Pictures, it can be said that they have picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.
Furthermore, after the sixth episode was finished, van diesel also asked for a raise. In the face of the improvement of other people's treatment, and Paul's division of producer privileges, the weight of diesel in the crew has been sharply weakened, and he is also striving for his rights and status. It's just the beginning of the war.
Secondly, lanli's departure caused a series of negative consequences. Not only did the shooting of "speed and passion 6" get into trouble, but there were serious disagreements and disputes within the film, which made it unable to start the film. After the "tomorrow's edge" and "detachment" were finished, the film just started, and the loss for more than half a year was incalculable.
What's more, the premature death of Luke Hobbes's films cut off Universal's desire to further expand its series of universe and disrupted its overall plan. If it's another series of films, it's OK to look for actors again, but the actors in the core role of the story have all resigned, so the plan can't be carried out.
Thirdly, the attitude of Langley and diesel is also a serious problem.
On the one hand, diesel is extremely tough and still insists that Langley must not return to the "speed and passion" series, otherwise he will resign; On the other hand, Lan Li was extremely indifferent, and refused all the compromises between understatement. He resolutely got away, and even showed disdain.
What's more, because of the existence of Langley, the actors led by Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez began to get tough, and they took the initiative to fight for more rights; And the opinionated van diesel also refused to compromise. There were many disputes and conflicts between the two sides. The shooting of "speed and passion 6" became extremely difficult.
The reason why it's complicated is that it's difficult to sort out the relationship and interest entanglement for a while and a half. It can be said that the whole body is affected by one thing; The reason why it is simple is that in the final analysis, it is the choice of interests. "Speed and passion" series is the most profitable project of Universal Pictures. In order to maintain the stability of the project, Lang must make a choice.
He chose diesel.
In the final analysis, it is still a decision between the interests.
In addition, lanli is not an easy to get along with and easy to negotiate. He has long been known in the industry for his pickiness of scripts, polishing of roles and trickiness of projects. As one of the six film companies at the helm, Lang did not intend to use his hot face to stick blue Li's cold butt.
In other words, the title of this paper can be changed to "on how to trigger a chain reaction tsunami due to the failure of cooperation in a work". Even Langley and Lang did not expect it when it came to the present situation.
For the layman, it seems hard to understand; But for professionals, this is really simple——
In this world, without anyone, the earth still revolves. So is Hollywood.
As a result, when Universal Pictures began to prepare to restart the "Jurassic Park" project, there was no lanli's name on the actor's candidate list. To be exact, langti didn't get the name of lanli.
However, Lang Meyer missed a point: Steven Spielberg was very fond of lenley and sent out an invitation in person; However, lanli has shown enough interest in restarting the project. Even if it is not a hit and go, it is not far away. A new round of interest game was officially launched.
As a top producer in Hollywood for more than 30 years, Steven can't understand his old friends' careful thinking; However, in his view, Lang's vision and vision are too limited to see a bigger blueprint, focusing on Xiaohui and Xiaoli, lacking the courage of Robert egger and Barry Meyer.
What's the most important thing for a leading actor in a commercial movie?
It's not acting, it's not age, it's not rank, it's not gender, it's personality.
Signey weaver of "alien" series, Harrison Ford of "Raider" series, Tom Cruise of "mission impossible" series, Will Smith of "man in black" series, and Jennifer Lawrence of "hunger game" series, all of these characters - or actors, what they have in common is their personal charm, successfully shining on the big screen.
Now restart "Jurassic Park" series, they need a charming actor to lead!
In Steven's opinion, among the young actors, lanli's style charm is unique, which is unmatched and unmatched.
Today's social trend has gradually evolved into "the brain is sexy", and wisdom and mature charm are becoming the essential elements of actors. In the two works of "tomorrow's edge" and "speed and passion 5", lanli not only shows the charm of the brain, but also goes a step further. He has a tough and hard-blooded style in his refined style, which is completely hormonal, The unique temperament of lanli is deduced.
On the big screen, this has proved to be successful, and it has become a new definition of sexy leading the market trend.
In Steven's opinion, this is undoubtedly the perfect choice for lanli to be the hero of the project temporarily named "Jurassic Park: extinction". The real key lies in lanli's will.
The young actor has a unique vision for the selection of works, and all his works have never failed so far. Even if he is "detached", he has won the support and pursuit of a large number of audiences, which is the best proof; As for the commercial film, it's even more famous. Even Steven has heard about it many times.
If lenley expresses his interest in restarting the project, it is undoubtedly a good start. At least it can ensure that the young people of Generation X and y are willing to go into the cinema and watch the work, and the card of childhood feelings is right. Even Steven, as a director, has recognized Langley's vision of film selection, let alone the ordinary audience?
But now shilly Shally make complaints about his old friends.
So today, Steven came out in person and asked for lenley's performance intention.
Now, after getting a positive response, Steven is in a bright mood. He takes the initiative to talk and reveals more information.
"In fact, we thought about having Harrison. But he didn't have much interest. The box office failure of "Raider 4" made him cautious Steven shrugged. "But I can't blame him. After all, he's retired now. He's more interested in movies than taking risks."
"After discussion, we still prefer young actors to play the leading role in this work." Steven's words pause slightly and fall on Lan Li.
But Lan Li chuckled, "I'm afraid, am I too young?"
A self mocking joke immediately made Steven laugh happily, "tomorrow's edge is a success, isn't it?"
"But Jurassic Park is not a game of the brave." Lanli's teasing really made Steven clap his hands and laugh, and the hearty laughter did not hide his cheerfulness.
"Game of the brave" is a classic work released in 1995, starring Robin Williams. His character was trapped in a game as a child for 26 years; Until Kirsten Dunst's 14-year-old girl and her brother open the game again, Robin's character is released, and then they have to finish the game to get rid of the curse.
Although the hero of "game of the brave" is Robin, the whole core is relatively childish and younger, which satisfies every child's childhood fantasy. If he is trapped in a game, what will happen?
At this time, with the analogy of "game of the brave" to "Jurassic Park", in fact, Langley is mocking himself as "too young", so that every film starring is regarded as a youth work. Last summer, "tomorrow's edge" was jokingly called another "hunger game" by the media, even though there was no connection between the two.
Steven immediately caught the burden of Langley, and liked it very much. He nodded, "young man, are you sure you are only twenty years old this year? Not forty? "
"Game of the brave" and "Jurassic Park" are all classic works of the 1990s. For lanli, who was born in 1989, this is too long.
"I'm a big fan of old movies, I admit," he said
