Chapter 1449

"By the way, I talked to Edith that day. She said that she saw Henry in New York. Why did he come here suddenly?"

Lanli's question made Matthew pause a little, but then he went on. He put all the fruit and afternoon tea on the tea table and said quietly, "Henry is engaged. He's going to confirm the date of marriage. He's coming to let me know."

Henry Dunlop, Matthew's brother, Dunlop's eldest son.

"Come here for this?" Blue ceremony eyebrow tail lightly a Yang, "such matter, the sea special come over can."

Matthew looked at lanli quietly for one second, two seconds. Finally, he dropped his eyes and said helplessly, "he needs to find a private detective to investigate each other's family background and draw up a prenuptial agreement. You know, London is a big place. It's full of familiar faces. He wants me to find help here. "

"American?" Lan Li is not at all surprised, just gently picked pick eyebrow tail, surprised to ask.

"Canadians." Matthew said calmly, and then he saw blue Li's eyebrows rising slightly, and Matthew himself chuckled, "yes, I know. But... That's how it happened. However, she lives in Quebec and her parents are second-generation French immigrants. "

Langley shrugged.

In North America, when the American people talk about Canada, they always regard each other as a "country" with a strong smell of contempt, just like New York people talk about New Jersey; In Europe, the same is true, especially for the upper class in London, who always believe that the descendants of the nobility who go to the United States or Canada are all despondent nobles who can not support themselves, especially in Canada.

Now is the 21st century, but some conservative nobles still do not want to "reduce their style", and still have strict requirements for family background; However, the dunlops are relatively open-minded aristocrats, and all their ideas and habits have been seamlessly integrated with the contemporary society.

"But I don't think Viscount Dunlop would mind. Do you still remember? When we were on holiday in the lake area that year, your mother said that there is no need for young people to worry now. If they get married too early, they will not be happy; Getting married too late is not necessarily a bad thing. She now regrets that she married too early. At that time, your father was sitting beside him, his face was green. "

As Lan Li spoke, the laughter overflowed, which awakened the memory in Matthew's mind again. He shook his head helplessly, but after all, he could not help laughing

His parents are really different, and so are Andre's parents. Otherwise, such deviant and daring rule breakers as Langley, they would have forced to break the friendship for a long time.

"It wasn't my parents' request. They didn't have any opinions at all. After the third meeting, they readily agreed. It was a woman with a bright personality; This is Henry's own idea. You know him Matthew said meaningfully.

Langley understood immediately, nodded suddenly and said, "I always thought that Henry and alf might try to get along. That picture should be unbearable. "

"ALF is more exaggerated than Henry, OK?" Matthew rounded his eyes and subconsciously retorted.

"Are you defending Henry now?" Lan Li asked back quietly.

"..." Matthew blinked and lost.

Fortunately, there was a knock at the door to help Matthew out. He stood up and opened the door. When he saw the visitor, he was not happy, helpless and funny, but his expression didn't change much, just a little bit in his tone. "How do you know that doranley is here? You didn't even knock on the door of the apartment downstairs, you just came up, right? "

Andy Rogers was still smiling like Maitreya. "Is that important? The real point, shouldn't it be that Langley is here? "

Matthew, speechless, takes a step aside and gives way so Andy can come in.

After closing the door, Matthew didn't stop and went straight to his desk: Andy came to the door for work, so he reserved space for them to talk; It's just that he still has work to do.

Turning around and looking at Matthew's back, Andy is still uneasy. After all, he and Matthew are not so familiar, and Matthew's iceberg face doesn't seem to have changed much, so it's impossible to guess; More importantly, there is no interest involved or cooperative relationship between them. Andy has no way to start, and is always unpredictable.

"Are you sure?" Andy asked hesitantly.

But Lan Li waved his hand indifferently. He didn't care. He went straight to the theme. "Does the" speed and passion "series have an eye?"

Recently, Andy has been back and forth in New York and Los Angeles. In addition to the accident of lanli entering the hospital, his main job is to talk and negotiate with Universal Pictures.

The "Jurassic Park" restart project and the "speed and passion" series project are under intensive discussion.

As for the former, there have been two versions of the script, but Steven Spielberg is not very satisfied with the results of the two versions after reading them. Apart from the plot details and character setting, there are still many problems in the story framework and theme core. Now they are revising the third version. At present, Langley still does not see the script.

Meanwhile, Langley is getting closer and closer to the hero of the "Jurassic Park" restart project. So far, Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall have nodded their heads, and Thomas Tull, the third producer, has a positive attitude. The problem lies in Lang Meyer's ideas.

Steven Spielberg of course, needless to say, on the night of the Oscars, he took the initiative to send an invitation to blue; Frank Marshall had worked with Langley on the edge of tomorrow before. Although he never showed up, the happy experience of that cooperation still made Frank look at Langley with new eyes.

As for Thomas tour, he is the founder and producer of legendary pictures. Their long-term cooperation with Warner Brothers is the most well-known collaboration in the industry. "Batman: Dark Knight", "Inception", "hangover", "Pacific Rim", "Superman: steel and iron" and other works are all created by legendary pictures and Warner Brothers.

However, Thomas himself is a producer and is actively participating in the production of more projects. This time, his name can be seen in the "Jurassic Park" restart project.

The reason why Thomas is "holding a positive attitude" rather than nodding his head is that Thomas still has doubts about lanli's film payment. He refuses to use the box office bonus to pay for the film, but insists on using the way of pay at a buy it now. He thinks that $15 million is the best choice.

During the negotiation, Thomas gradually relented and said that he was willing to raise to $20 million, but still refused to share the box office bonus. Coupled with Lang Meyer's always ambiguous attitude, it still needs a period of continuous negotiation.

As for the latter, not long ago, lanli deliberately let out the wind through paparazzi, expressing his interest in the "speed and passion" project and further pressing van diesel.

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that universal pictures did show interest. All the fanwai projects that were shelved at the beginning and the subsequent series of projects were put on the table. Lang Meier actively explored the possibility of lanli's rejoining. He did not mention the conditions of lanli at all: dill quit, lanli nodded to join, but continued to mediate.

Now, the two projects are in the process of intensive negotiations. Andy suddenly appears. Lanli takes it for granted that the two projects should have made a breakthrough. That's the question.

"So to speak, there are more variables." Andy said simply, "at the moment, nothing is completely settled. This summer, there will be a storm in Hollywood."

Blue Li can't help but gently pick eyebrows, "storm? You mean dinosaurs and car racing alone are enough to leverage Hollywood? " In the tone, Lan Li expressed strong doubt and didn't believe it at all.

Andy nodded in affirmation with a smile. "Certainly not enough. The main thing is that the timing is too sensitive. After all things are mixed together, things are becoming more and more difficult now. Your influence is also expanding, which makes us have to consider more when dealing with things. "

"Let's start with the conclusion." Andy simply skips all the tedious information and goes straight to the theme. In terms of "speed and passion", Universal Pictures is ready to start shooting the seventh film first. Diesel compromises. He closes his mouth. International innovation management company lowers its posture and asks him to have a good relationship with Paul, dawn, Jason and others. If there is no accident, it will officially start shooting in August, Paul expects to be informed in the next two days

Paul is clearly the producer and star of "speed and passion", but Langley got the news earlier than him. From this small detail, we can see the composition of Hollywood power pyramid. Now lanli is in a higher position.

Lanli immediately understood the deep meaning of the words, which can be understood as that, when diesel compromised, the negotiation between the biography and sequel was put aside for the time being. Now universal pictures is still focusing on shooting the seventh film of the series.

"I understand." Lan Li gently closed jaw, but did not care, "this shows that my goal has been achieved."

At the beginning, the intention was not that lanli really wanted to join in, but to let diesel put his tail away and not be aggressive. Otherwise, if lanli really put his heart into the "speed and passion" series of projects, diesel would not have the strength to fight back, even if he changed the brokerage company.

"Well, it's estimated that the dinosaur project has not been pushed forward for the time being. Lang Meyer doesn't need to look at me, does he?" He continued.

"Yes, and No. Dinosaur project, there are other circumstances affecting
