Chapter 1295

The party was undoubtedly lively.

Langley successfully met Paul Sorrentino and James Gray, two low-yielding but unique directors. He also got to know the fledgling black director Ryan Coogler. In addition, it's interesting to discuss the significance of light and shadow for character building with Alan girodi.

But at the end of the day, Langley didn't really like parties.

Compared with the film practitioners themselves, he is more interested in the works created by these film practitioners, as well as the creative techniques and artistic ideas infused into the works. Although he has seen most of his works in the last life, the experience on the Cannes big screen is different after all.

In short, he prefers Berlin.

When we left the party, just after midnight, the atmosphere just reached its climax. A group of beautiful men and women in bikini stepped on the drums of traditional Brazilian percussion instruments and enthusiastically walked through the crowd. All of them took each other's shoulders, drove the train and danced around the rooftop.

In the atmosphere of the party, even the introverted and shy Jim jamush involuntarily joined in.

Lanli's departure did not attract any attention.

Back in the hotel room, lanli is ready to recuperate. For others, the possibility of attending Cannes Film Festival means opportunities everywhere; But for Langley, it means a lot of good movies. Just browsing through the list, he can't wait to sit in the cinema and watch them.

Before going to bed, lanli turns on his laptop and confirms the email from Andy.

The whole email is concise and orderly. It only lists the basic ideas and brief introduction of a series of projects, without in-depth detailed explanation and explanation, but more just a summary.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to make a judgment based on such a simple program.

In the conception stage of many projects, the director, actor, screenwriter, photography, creativity, framework, structure, story and so on have no problems, and even make people full of hope. From all aspects, this is a work that is bound to be successful. But in the actual operation process, it is full of numerous accidents, but the final product is not satisfactory, or it is beyond recognition and deviates from the track; Or it's made according to the idea, but the market doesn't like it at all.

It's like a starting list in competitive sports. From the paper strength point of view, a strong team is a strong team, which is full of expectations, but the game still needs to be contested in order to win. The most typical representative is Belgium's football team, which has become the most valuable national team in Europe many times, but the performance in the European Cup and the world cup is not satisfactory.

Movies are no exception.

Now from the paper analysis of the e-mail, there is not much information. We can only simply judge the theme and type, just like Andy's afternoon communication, chick movie? Animated movies? Action movies? And so on, but that's all. It's really hard to judge in depth.

Naturally, Andy didn't ask for it either. He just hoped that lanli would have a bottom line in his mind. He would list the bottom line to facilitate his further negotiation.

At this moment, it's a good thing for Lan Li. The advantage of rebirth is revealed unconsciously.

"Super Marines" animation, adapted from the original cartoon, is set as the future city of Tokyo and San Francisco. After "invincible Destruction King", it is a brand new work of the animation department of Disney's parent company. Actor dubbing.

Cinderella, a live action movie, is adapted from the original animation. Playing the prince. The all star lineup is under discussion.

"Tomorrow's world", a project inspired by science fiction and Disney theme park, is written by Damon Lindelof.

’Star Wars: Rogue one, science fiction. hero.

’Sin City 2 ', crime, adapted from the original comic book. Not sure. Robert Rodriguez is back as a director. "

The above is a complete mailing list. The five projects are clear at a glance. Without a detailed synopsis, the key information is enough to outline the whole project.

For example, there are two highlights of "tomorrow's world". One is Disney theme park. As we all know, the opportunity for the birth of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is Disney's promotion of the pirate project in the theme park.

At that time, the pirate project had gradually declined, with fewer and fewer tourists, falling into a state of loss. If the deficit could not be recovered, Disney would have to spend a lot of money to dismantle the whole project and rebuild a new one. But Michael Eisner, the former chief executive, decided to give it a last chance, so there was Pirates of the Caribbean.

Now "tomorrow's world" is facing the same situation and arises at the historic moment.

One is screenwriter Damon linderov. Just like JJ Abrams, he is a Hollywood Science Fiction star who started from the TV series "lost". After that, he wrote many science fiction works, such as "Prometheus", "Star Trek: darkness and boundlessness" and "watch the world".

It is rumored that Disney has offered a million dollars reward for inviting Damon to write the script of "tomorrow's world". It's the top screenwriter in Hollywood.

and so on.

The core of Cinderella is the All-Star team.

This is the first time that Disney has tried to change all animated films into live action films to solve the serious shortage of original scripts. Once it succeeds, Disney's huge film library will become an inexhaustible resource and easily open up the gap with the other five major film companies. Therefore, Disney is determined to drive the long-term development of the whole project with the All-Star lineup.

The core of "super marine" is the production of Disney's parent company.

In the past 10 to 15 years, Pixar has completely disrupted the market structure, replaced Disney and become the absolute king of the animation market. The rise of blue sky studio and DreamWorks Animation has made Disney fall into a passive position. Disney used to dominate the 2D animation market, but it gradually lagged behind in the 3D animation market.

The works that changed all these situations are "invincible Destruction King", which sounded the return of Disney's original animation, followed by "ice and snow" and "super Marines".

To sum up, this email is sincere, simple but crucial, and the important information is clear at a glance.

It can be seen that Disney has shown a positive willingness in cooperation. Rather than exchanging interests for a van diesel, lanli is the absolute focus from the beginning to the end. Disney still hopes to establish a cooperative relationship with lanli——

As for diesel?

It's just an addition. With the dismissal of a diesel, there are countless actors in Hollywood eager to play in the "Galaxy guard", so Disney doesn't have to worry about the choice of actors at all.

What surprised Langley most was "Star Wars: Rogue one.".

There is no modification or explanation. Of course, it doesn't need to, because the existence of the project itself is the biggest highlight. It just needs to show its name. More than one third of the actors in Hollywood can't wait to become one of them. This also means that Disney can sit in Diaoyutai and choose actors slowly.

So, why do we need lanli?

Just as Lan Li and Andy said in their communication, the essence of Marvel series and "Star Wars" is similar. They focus on character image and series word-of-mouth, and have no direct connection with actors and directors. After the formation of assembly line production, even if the actors and directors are changed, the impact on the box office is negligible, It's the most economical and effective way to use new players or the second and third line up of CASS.

But if you think about it, there is another explanation.

"Star Wars: Rogue one" is closer to an attempt, similar to the attempt of "Cinderella" or "Iron Man" in 2008. If it can be successful, Disney can build a derivative series around the "Star Wars" brand and maximize the benefits of the brand.

At the beginning, "Iron Man" made little Robert Downey, and he became the most important core of the whole Marvel series. He was also the only superhero in Marvel's superheroes who had a high pay.

Similarly, "Star Wars" made Harrison Ford, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" made Johnny Depp. Now, Disney also hopes that "Star Wars extras" can make an absolute core, and then build another extraterrestrial universe around this core.

Therefore, they took blue rite into consideration.

Of course, all this is just lanli's personal guess. After all, he is not Robert egger, and he is not good at business management and marketing. This inference is not accurate.

However, one thing is certain that "grand theft-a-1" is only a part of Disney's blueprint. As for the height of this part, it depends on Disney itself. In essence, this is similar to Marvel's series. Before, lanli gave up "Thor"; Now, after his mood changes, will he choose "Star Wars biography"?

Even without further communication and understanding, Langley can guess the excitement Andy can't suppress. Sure enough, lanli found a line at the bottom of the forwarded email:

Dear lanli, please feel free to contact me with any questions about "Star Wars" and I will do my best to investigate and promote cooperation; At the same time, I will not forget to protect your personal interests, the agent has always been my primary responsibility. But, but! I really welcome you to contact me at any time.

In his mind, Andy's expression of urgency came into being naturally. Blue Li couldn't help laughing.

Taking back his lax thoughts, Lan Li concentrated his mind and made a quick judgment. It was a very difficult choice for others, but it could not be simpler for Lan Li. What's more, it was only in the preliminary stage of exchanging opinions, and they were all weighing chips, which made things easier.

As a result, Langley quickly began to reply to the email.

If Matthew saw it, he would be very moved.
