Looking at Lan Li in front of him quietly, Andre was a little distracted.
After leaving the shackles of high altitude hypoxia and free fall, the heart and blood gradually returned to normal, Andre also returned to the usual state of idleness and bohemianism, and his sight became more and more interesting.
If it's someone else, it's bound to be unbearable for such a long time; But Andre knew that Langley was the exception, so he chose to take the initiative to attack, "you are a freak."
"Yes, I know." Lan Li was not surprised at all. He nodded his head frankly and said yes. The smooth answer showed his indifference vividly.
Andre showed a handsome smile, which is one of the reasons why he has always admired lanli.
Because of rock climbing and skydiving, because of career and dream, but also because of personality and style, all aspects of lanli show their own unique, "but why? The hall family looks so... Normal, but you're the first cancer to ferment? It's not normal to break the balance and destroy the ecology. "
In the past six months, the storm caused by Langley in the upper class of London has not stopped, but also intensified. Even if Andre doesn't care, he will inevitably get involved in it. We can feel the trace and concept of "rules broken" in all aspects.
Standing in the middle of it and watching from the outside, Andre can feel vaguely that something is broken and can never be repaired. In Queenstown, when he meets blue Li unexpectedly, it is reasonable, which makes Andre curious.
"Because I am reborn."
This is the only answer of lanli, but it's also the one that can't be said.
Think about it carefully, but Lan Li gave his own opinion, "maybe because change has always existed, but unfortunately, the timing and environment are always wrong, so it didn't break out. But now, the times have changed, and change is bound to come, so a seed takes root and grows into a leafy forest. "
Why he was reborn as lanli is an unsolvable question; However, it is an obvious question why his little seed can make waves.
The same situation happened five years ago or ten years ago, maybe just like Princess Grace Kelly, she will eventually cut off her wings and return to aristocratic life; Perhaps, just like Princess Diana, she will end up in bondage, and die unhappily.
"But the question is, if you change an era, will you stick to yourself?" That's the part of Andre's real curiosity.
Lanli shrugged and didn't answer.
But his relaxed expression and shining eyes gave Andre the answer he wanted most. He nodded and came to his conclusion, "you are a madman." But he likes it.
Instead of continuing to explore such a profound topic, Andre withdrew his thoughts and attention, and asked excitedly, "recently Hollywood has been rumored that you are now preparing a production work. It's better to be false news. Otherwise, why didn't you call me the first time? Don't you know that I have been preparing to enter Hollywood?"
Lan Li thought about it.
Andre rolled his eyes silently. "I've mentioned it to you twice. Don't you remember? God, I should have told Matthew
For things outside of performance, especially business transactions and interest exchange, lanli has never had a clear concept and forgets it.
Andre dares to bet. When he asks about the number of his bank account, he must be at a loss. He may not remember the specific number; I think we should ask Matthew for such a question. How could he forget that? What a blunder!
Looking at lanli's bewildered look, Andre only felt that his temple was aching. He let out a breath and emphasized again, "I've been trying to invest in film projects. If you have a suitable project, you can come to me directly. I'm responsible for the money, you're responsible for the works, and when you need to use the interpersonal relationship, I'll come out."
Vaguely, Langley remembered that Andre had mentioned it to himself once before.
However, lanli didn't care too much. First, his own interest in production is limited; Secondly, he knew little about the relevant aspects of commercial operation, so when he was looking for a production company for "pop drummer", he naturally didn't think of this.
"You should know that I don't talk about work during holidays." Lan Li was dumbfounded and didn't deny it. Instead, he met Andre's eyes with a calm face. His eyes dropped slightly and showed a look of ridicule.
Andre didn't say a word, so he took the brandy in his hand and looked at lanli quietly.
After the weight of gravity involved his legs, Andre also gradually returned to the original normal, even in the face of the joke of Langley, he did not mess.
As for investment and production, it's really a job, but Andre and Langley are different. They are friends who are not in frequent contact but are always willing to lend a helping hand at critical moments, just like the last "one person concert". This is their tacit understanding. The reverse is true.
Sure enough, after the quiet atmosphere flowed slowly, Lan Li was defeated this time.
He can be honest with Hollywood bigwigs, but he can't refuse his friends. This is his weakness, he knows, but he doesn't mind.
"How much is the limit?" Blue Li slightly picked the eyebrow tail, cut into the formal topic, it seems that it is just an ordinary opening question, but there is a shimmer under the eyes.
Andre knows that Langley is joking about himself - questioning his sincerity and concentration to really enter Hollywood. It's too familiar between the two people, one look and one expression, Andre can clearly understand the deep meaning.
"I'm serious." Andre had to emphasize again, "I know that the top production companies in Hollywood are trying to compete for this project, so I can't compete with them. But for you? I have no problem with a budget of less than $100 million. I can speak directly; If it's more than $100 million, then we need to hold a board meeting to discuss it. "
Lan Li frowned slightly and did not hide his surprise. "God, do you know that your father squanders his property like this?" But when the words were finished, he waved his hand and denied his idea.
Andre is the youngest son of the Hamilton family. Not only his father and mother, but also his two brothers are very fond of him. It can be said that they are just a little extravagant. They don't care at all. They even help Andre clean up the mess. "Forget it, when I don't ask."
Andre was chuckling, "please, 100 million for you, also does not mean anything."
Although the starting point is different, for Langley, he does not need so much wealth, and for Andre, his wealth is far more than that; But this sentence is correct. For them, 100 million is just a number.
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders, noncommittal, back to the main topic, "this project is not a commercial work, but a work of art, more or lock award season.". Not surprisingly, next year, we should start with the Sundance Film Festival and carry out the follow-up development. Are you sure you are willing to invest in such a work? "
Andre launched an in-depth investigation of Hollywood and naturally understood the meaning of Langley's words.
Awards season works, not only means that the profit may not be much, or even a loss; And a space for one person to be able to take a place in Oscar's awesome business. This is a bad situation for Andre, he must have a deeper consideration.
But Andre is not an expert.
"What's your opinion?" Andre throws the question straight.
There is no foreword and postscript, but the meaning is very clear - if Andre is still willing to invest in the "pop drummer", then what would Langley suggest.
Blue Li eyebrow tail lightly a Yang, dumbfounded smile, "are you sure to ask my opinion?"
For the understanding of business, lanli is not only not an expert, but also an expert.
Andre pursed the corners of his mouth and jokingly replied, "there's no way. I have no other choice. Now I can only ask you." The tone of Tucao made blue Li make complaints about it.
After pondering for a moment, lanli simply said his idea, "in terms of investment, it may not need too much. Three million to five million, which is the basic cap." So, it's never a problem who the partners are. Let alone the six major Hollywood film companies, even those independent film companies, it's not an expensive expense. For Andre, it's the same.
Then, the key lies in sincerity and friendship.
"It's a project that favors a small number of art theaters. If you are interested, you can look at the box office of 'Black Swan'. It's estimated that the trend of 'pop drummer' is just like this. Let's make a smaller version." Lan Li's words are still objective, and he still doesn't want to play. Instead, he talks with the version of the previous life.
"So, after the measurement, you can seek the cooperation of a film company. You are responsible for funding, they are responsible for contributing, and the final distribution is also given to them, which will impact the major film festivals and award seasons. As for the specific distribution of costs and benefits, it's up to you to negotiate. " He continued.
For art creators, works are the most important; But for businessmen, the rate of return on profits is. This is also doomed to the different thinking angles of Langley and Andre.
Then, the eyes fell on Andre, and Langley showed a shallow smile, "the only requirement is that the final decision right of the work must be controlled by Damien chazere."
It's not the first cut, but the final decision.
Andre's eyes flashed slightly, and he naturally understood the difference. He joked half jokingly, "are you sure it's not the lion opening his mouth?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Lanli's mouth rose slightly.
