Robert egger?
Damien chazare is full of question marks. After thinking about it carefully, he always thinks that the name is very familiar, but he can't remember it for a moment. Among his familiar friends, he can't find a corresponding person. His sight catches Justin hewitz's inquiry sight. He covers the receiver of his mobile phone with his left hand and says with his mouth, "Robert egger?"
Justin suddenly choked on his beer and coughed violently. He tried to explain, but he couldn't breathe. He could only give a hint: Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse.
Robert egger, the CEO of Disney, after taking over from Michael Eisner, has set off a wave of Disney frenzy in the North American film market. He is undoubtedly the top figure in Hollywood.
Damien blinked. "... cough." As he was about to speak, he was choked by his own saliva and nearly overturned the table in front of him. He couldn't help wiping the palm of his hand on the thigh of his trousers. "Good afternoon, Mr. egger. Yes, I mean, nice to meet you."
After that, Damien closed his eyes and clenched his teeth. He was so depressed that he couldn't believe his stupidity.
In just three weeks, Damien has met with many of the industry's top leaders for dinner, even talking and laughing. But the premise is that this was all done in the company of Andy Rogers and even the innovative artists agency. Strictly speaking, he is just a little shrimp on the side, not too impressive at all——
Most of the time, no one mentions the "pop drummer" project. Even if it is mentioned occasionally, Damien is not the main introducer, and Andy is more likely to complete the introduction.
Today, Robert called in person? This... This amount of information is too much. Damien needs a little time to breathe. But the problem is that the phone is still in progress, and there is no time or space. Damien feels that he is going to be out of breath and his cheeks are red.
Justin, sitting opposite, coughed so much that he couldn't stop coughing. In order to avoid disturbing his friends' calls, he simply turned around and left. However, because he was too flustered, his ankle bumped into the stool, fell down and instantly disappeared under the table. He staged a magic trick of "disappearing on the spot", which was too funny.
Damien forced himself to calm down. Robert's warm voice came from the receiver. The other party fully grasped the initiative. Damien could only nod his head and respond to the last sentence or two from time to time. The whole conversation lasted less than three minutes, and then ended the conversation.
Justin finally recovered, climbed back to the chair, did not care to sort out his confusion, eyes shining, can't wait to ask, "how? What did you say? "
Damien gradually regained his mind and shrugged, "nothing."
"What is" nothing " Justin is in a fog.
"Literally." Damien let out a long breath. "He just called to say hello. Because they were in a meeting, many other voices could be heard on the phone. They mentioned the work "pop drummer" in the hope of further understanding, so they called me
It's not Robert calling Damien personally, it's Disney's project production meeting.
"He would like to see the full version of the play, preferably with some sources of inspiration and a brief description of the core of the work." Damien then said, "in addition, he also asked about the idea of cast cast cast of CASS..." after a pause, Damien added, "he asked, if lenley plays, which role exactly."
Justin blinked. "How did you answer that?"
"I said that Langley has no intention to perform at the moment, because he needs to have a good rest and relax for a period of time." Damien told the truth and gave a full account of the specific situation.
"What?" Justin couldn't help exclaiming, and then patted heavily on the forehead, "God, how can they be willing to invest if you show all the cards so honestly? All of them are for blue Lilly! To be honest, now in Hollywood, who doesn't want to work with Langley? "
Justin became incoherent. "Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, paramount, Fox Searchlight, and Disney! Man, five! Five of the six major Hollywood film companies have contacted you! You, they... You... God
Damien also scratched his head in chagrin, but he didn't make such a fuss. "Even if they lie now, they will find out later."
Damien also realized that the major Hollywood film companies seem to have a misunderstanding: the relationship between Langley and "pop drummer" is not only a producer, but also an actor.
The difference is that in the past two years, Steven Spielberg's projects as a nominal producer have been at least double-digit, but only two of them actually hold the guiding tube. As a producer, he may only participate in one of the links; But as a director or actor, it's very different to be involved in it personally.
Even Damien himself is no exception, from no thought to imagination. Now he can't help thinking about how to structure the picture and lens, and how to capture the performance and rhythm when lenley plays Andrew. The more he thinks about it, the more excited he will be. The idea is like weeds, growing wantonly and crazily.
Looking at Damien with an honest face, Justin could only defeat. He patted his forehead heavily and looked up to the sky and sighed, "well, I can't blame them. Even myself, I can't help thinking that it should be very interesting to cooperate with Langley."
Justin, who graduated from Harvard University, made friends with Damien when he was in college. After graduation, they went to Los Angeles together to seek future development in the film industry. Damien focuses on screenwriting and directing, while Justin focuses on soundtrack and original repertoire.
In order to work and survive, they kept going back and forth between Los Angeles and New York. Finally, Justin found a long-term job writing score for the cable TV series "the league", and also wrote score for an episode "The Simpsons".
Justin and Damien's down-to-earth and diligent accumulation soon won each other the chance to shoot their own work "guy and Madeleine on the park bench". Unfortunately, the work failed.
Now, the project of "burst drummer" is also the goal of two people working together.
Justin said excitedly, "you know what? When he was in New York, I heard that lanli had participated in the composition and creation of all the songs, and had finished the shooting of all the live performances. He was not only good at guitar, but also excellent at piano. "
With that, Justin began to dance with his hands and eyebrows, "imagine him playing Andrew. His understanding and attainments in music are bound to have unique insights, which must be very interesting." Suddenly, the excited expression became lonely, "but I don't know if he is interested. After all, he has just finished shooting a musical work. Besides, who doesn't want to work with Langley? "
Justin and Damien both fell into silence. Inexplicably, they seemed to be deeply immersed in their own thoughts. Finally, Justin straightened up and perked up, "do you have an idea now? Which company did you decide to cooperate with? In the past, there was no choice, but now there are too many choices. They are all worried. "
From zero to complex, now they have too many choices. Not to mention those independent film companies, just say that the six major Hollywood film companies, except Universal Pictures, have all taken action one after another, including independent brands such as Fox Searchlight. For small shrimps like them, dyschooia has entered the end.
Damien leaned back in his chair and gave a big stretch. "I don't know. Every company sounds very sincere, but I know that they are not for me, and they are not for the 'pop drummer'... "Otherwise, no one would have been interested in them all the time," they are all for the sake of lanli, so I think I should give the decision to lanli. "
"Are you sure?" Justin and lenley haven't met each other. All the words come from hearsay and hearing. It's hard to avoid hesitation. "What if lenley chooses a company with stronger business interests? Or is Langley beginning to interfere in your creation? Industry rumors do not always say that Langley is an angular actor. Even in the face of Tony Kaye's hot temper, he dares to directly refute the director's decision. "
"I don't think that's what Langley would do." Damien said simply but firmly, "... I can't describe. Although I only met him one night, he was different from other actors."
It was a special temperament that could not be expressed in words, some alienated and some familiar. Most importantly, Damien felt very comfortable and willing to deliver his trust.
"Even if I really face such a situation, I have nothing to say." Damien opened his hands. "We knew when we chose to take a chance on Oscar night, didn't we? No matter who we meet, we have to try. This is our last chance. It's not lanli. It's other people. It's also risky. "
Justin slightly Leng Leng, and finally can only take a long breath, nodded his head to express approval, "indeed, meet blue Li, this is our best choice." As soon as the words changed, "I feel that the bad luck and downturn of the past two years have finally come to the moment of transformation. After accumulating such a long period of darkness, all the luck broke out that night."
Otherwise, how could Damien meet Langley?
Damien nodded seriously. "I think so, too. That should have been my best luck in the last few years. "
Damien's luck is far from over.
