Chapter 1229

"By the way, Universal Pictures is preparing to restart the Jurassic Park project. Yesterday, Steven and I had a simple exchange and formally sent out an invitation. I think this is an interesting proposal. However, Lang's attitude remains against it. I think Steven and Lang will continue to communicate in the next period of time. "

"In addition, Barry invited me to play Batman, and I refused; Obviously, he and I agreed that I was not the right actor for Batman. However, the project of DC Comics is in the process of restarting. Barry asked me what I think. I can imagine the ups and downs of Hollywood. "

After the conversation about the "pop drummer" has reached a certain stage for a while, lanli takes the initiative to mention the other two projects. The amount of information about what happened on Oscar night is too large. Lanli can't mention it one by one. He can only select a few important key points and tell Andy to make preparations for the subsequent work arrangement.

That understatement, but in Andy's mind set off a storm.

It's not an accident. To be honest, he's not at all surprised. It's a normal thing with lanli's current position and call; It's complicated. He has to calm down and sort out the information hidden behind the two projects.

For the first time, lanli's every move has the ability to influence the decision-making direction of the six major Hollywood film companies.

"The restart project of Jurassic Park is only in the initial planning stage, right?" After Andy has sorted out his ideas, he confirms them at the first time. After he gets a positive reply, he inquires about the conversation between lanli and Steven in detail, especially about Lang's attitude. After accurately grasping the situation, Andy shows his understanding slightly.

Obviously, the restart project of "Jurassic Park" is a long and difficult preparatory process. In a short period of time, it is difficult to make significant progress by leaps and bounds. It will not affect lanli's rest plan for the time being. He can promote it step by step. The relationship between lanli and universal pictures will also be the focus of attention.

"Randy, did Paul express any special ideas about the speed and passion project?" Andy inquires tentatively, using very careful words.

But Lan Li instantly understood the deep meaning, and asked bluntly, "do you mean to be independent? Or kick fan out of the project? " Andy nodded his head with a smile and said, "no, Paul's personality... He won't stab in the back. He's too aboveboard. What's the matter? What's happened recently? "

"Not recently." Andy shakes his head. "During the shooting of the sixth film in the previous series, the contradictions of the crew have been a little overwhelming. Fan, Jushi and Jason, who are new members of the group, are not happy with each other, and conflicts have broken out many times; In addition, Michelle and other actresses also have some complaints about fan's overbearing and selfishness. "

These are not "new" news. There have been rumors in the industry before.

"When the sixth film was finished, Universal Pictures was going to shoot the seventh film in one go. But now that the conflict has broken out, they have to pause and solve the problem. Now the latest news is that the contradiction between Justin and fan is irreconcilable. Fan forced Justin away, so that the seventh film was forced to stop

Andy's words let blue Li eyebrow tail gently, Justin, refers to Justin Lin, the director Lin Yibin.

In the previous shooting scene of the fifth film, lanli can clearly feel that Justin is a mild and introverted director, always smiling. In many conflicts of the crew, he always plays the role of peacemaker. It is because of his reconciliation and lubrication that the shooting work of the crew can be carried out smoothly.

Now, even Justin has been forced to leave. Is it because after the success of the fifth movie, Justin began to play big cards, or is it because

"You mean that all these contradictions are caused by fan?" Langley thinks it's impossible. Although he and fan had personal grudges, they didn't like each other; But he knew that fan was not a fool. On the contrary, he was a smart man who made full use of his advantages and rationally maximized his own interests.

"It's hard to say." Andy smiles and glances at Lan Li. These things have direct or indirect relations with Lan Li.

It can be summarized as follows: lanli ignited the fuse and then detonated the powder keg.

During the shooting of the fifth film, Langley challenges the authority of diesel and retreats completely. Although Langley left the shooting of the sequel, he planted a seed. Not only Paul became a producer, but also other actors began to assign teams. The battle for interests began to be fierce, which forced diesel to become fierce.

Furthermore, Don Johnson and Jason stanson, both of them are not soft persimmons. If diesel is aggressive, they will not be soft in fighting back; Naturally, the contradiction between dessel and Justin began to intensify, and the work of the director became more difficult.

Of course, from an objective point of view, this is just forcing diesel to show his true face, which has nothing to do with Langley. However, in the interest disputes, it is really difficult to thoroughly sort out all the situations.

Andy's meaningful eyes fell on Langley, and then he said, "but you can say that. In the process of shooting, fan has been trying to take the initiative, hoping to be more firm in his leading role; It is inevitable that there will be frictions and conflicts between going back and forth. Now there are differences within Universal Pictures, and they have different ideas about the future of the follow-up works. "

Lan Li didn't speak immediately. He rubbed his thumb back and forth between his index finger and middle finger.

The deep meaning of Andy's words is not difficult to understand. From the "Jurassic Park" project to the "speed and passion" project, there are unlimited possibilities for the cooperation between lanli and Universal Pictures. If lanli intends to, they can push behind, further intensify the contradiction, and then occupy a place in universal pictures, or even isolate diesel and kick him out.

For example, Langley says that as long as diesel is willing to leave the "speed and passion" project or weaken his leading role, Langley is willing to return to the series and work with Paul, dawn, Jason and Michelle to create an enhanced sequel; At the same time, invite Justin back to the stable structure of the cast.

After that, it's possible for Langley to take control, give it to Paul, or give it to the director.

At the same time, with the support and help of Steven, and the reputation and reputation of lanli in the industry, his weight will be heavier and heavier, and the potential interests will continue to rise.

Well, it's hard for Lang Meyer not to be moved.

With Langley's current position and Andy's ability, they can have more space at the top of the pyramid.

But... Lan Li shook his head and said, "No. Let's not get involved

First of all, there is no grudge between Langley and diesel, there is no need to cut off his way to make a living, and he is not interested in these trivial things; Secondly, Langley knows Paul. He really loves the "speed and passion" series. He enjoys the shooting process and the atmosphere of the film. If the film becomes a game of interests, he will be very sad.

As a friend, Langley is willing to respect Paul's choice rather than make a decision on his behalf.

Andy shrugs, not surprisingly. All along, Langley is not an ambitious actor. It used to be like this, and it's the same now.

On the topic of Universal Pictures, Andy came to a paragraph for the time being, and then asked, "Warner Bros. has several other projects in my hands. Are you going to read them?"

"Don't worry." Without any hesitation, lanli gently shook his head in denial. "I told Steven last night that I would have a good rest in the next few months. I don't want to talk about any work for the time being." It means that although Langley has shown interest in the Jurassic Park: extinction project, he will not change his daily schedule for the work in the near future.

Andy nodded to understand, "so, you and Barry's conversation, everything is happy?"

"Yes, he is a character." Lanli's words are meaningful.

To be honest, the rise of Disney is not surprising. Robert egger's wisdom and clarity in decision-making have become a beacon for their comprehensive recovery; However, Warner Brothers' failure in the DC project is surprising. Since at least the past two battles, Barry still has not shown the malpractice of Michael Eisner's headstrong, which can not explain their major mistakes in decision-making.

But the management level of the interests of the game has never been the strength of Lan Li, can not say why it is normal.

Andy grins his head to show understanding.

From universal pictures to Warner Brothers, this is just the beginning. Now Andy can foresee that there will be more and more negotiations and cooperation between lanli and the six major film companies; If "gravity" and "drunken folk" can continue to succeed, then this situation will be unstoppable.

So the things Andy needs to think about now are more complex, more comprehensive and more important.

"Holiday, have you decided on your destination?" For the time being, the business of work was put aside, and Andy began to chat.

"Alaska, that should be the first stop. Now I'm thinking about whether to go north or south along the coastline. This time, I want to try to learn parachute jumping. I mean, get a professional license... "

With that, Lan Li's whole expression became vivid. His bright eyes could clearly feel his joy and excitement, which was the joy from the bottom of his heart. In addition to the performance, lanli is exploring more possibilities of life, and life is bursting out with colorful colors.
