"Jack Gyllenhaal. I'll recommend him for this work. "
Andy is quietly watching lanli. He can't say it, but the fact is that lanli seems to have changed a little.
If it is in the past, lanli's eyes will start to shine when he meets his favorite scripts and characters. He can even feel the warm light of his soul. The enthusiasm shown by his eagerness and concentration makes people happy. Even people who have no interest in performing can feel it.
But now, things are slightly different.
Lanli's eyes are still full of excitement and exultation, and the enthusiasm of eager to try is still releasing a steady stream of light and heat. Andy can really feel the regret and struggle in the depth of words when lanli chooses to refuse "Night Walker", Hands are still reluctant to read the script, the little action is to reveal the real mood.
However, Lan Li still chose to refuse.
Not because no longer love, but because more relaxed and more open-minded.
Although very like, very love, very urgent, but the whole person is more magnanimous and tolerant, because he knows that someone is more suitable than himself, because he knows that he still has a lot of space and room for choice, because he knows that he can be more relaxed on the road of acting exploration, which is a self-confidence, but also a calm, let him look more detached.
That should be a good thing.
But Andy's not sure.
Because there are so many things happened in the shooting of "pop drummer" recently, we just need to look at lanli's hands. Lanli came from the piano school. Although he is not a professional pianist, his hands still retain the integrity of the piano player, just can see some thin cocoons; But now, the scars are as shocking as the cracks on the perfect porcelain.
"Lan Li, what happened recently?" Andy hesitated and raised his concerns“ If you are not in good condition now, we can take a rest for a period of time. We don't have to worry at all. Even if you take a short rest for half a year, it doesn't matter; If you have any special ideas and requirements for the work, just tell me, and I will find a way. "
Lanli is a little surprised. He doesn't understand where Andy's worries come from.
Andy's smile is still hanging in the corner of his mouth, but more serious and heavy, "Lan Li, no matter what happens, as long as you say it, we can discuss it well. Even if I can't solve it, at least I can help to find a way. Even if it's a private matter in life, I'll be here at any time if you want to, ready to listen. "
"Andy, I'm fine." Lan Li frowned in bewilderment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose gently. "I know what you mean, and I know your worries, but... Why? Just because I gave up the chance to play night walker? I just said that, just because Jack is more suitable. "
"Andy is worried about your state." Matthew, who went to the kitchen to drink water, heard the conversation and watched the two people playing riddles with each other. He couldn't listen any more, so he took the initiative to say, "you've invested too much in the recent movie, but you've recovered too fast. It's like nothing's the same. Now he suddenly refuses a project he's satisfied with. Andy is worried about you."
The onlookers see clearly.
Lan Li didn't feel that he was abnormal, but he forgot that his change was in the eyes of others, and it was different after all.
Then Matthew looked at Andy again, "don't worry about Randy. He is the strongest and most determined of all my friends, not because he is invulnerable; It's because he always knows what he's doing. If one day he really needs help, he'll talk. "
With that, Matthew went back to his desk with a glass of water.
Andy Leng Leng, after all, still did not hold back, raised his voice to ask, "has he ever asked you for help?"
"He's not Superman." Matthew's steps stopped a little for a moment. He didn't give a positive answer. Instead, he said yes in another way.
Langley is not as invincible as people think. He will be injured, he will be painful, he will be confused. It is the same when he returns to London, and it is the same when Heather dies; However, he carefully hides his vulnerability in the heart, and then relies on his friends for all the weight.
friend. This is the bottom line of Lan Li, and it is also the inverse of Lan Li. If anyone is curious about why Langley is willing to tear up with van diesel for Paul Walker's sake, Matthew will tell them that the people who ask these questions don't understand Langley at all.
"Hey, the client is here. Please don't discuss my psychological condition at will, OK? This sounds strange. Otherwise, I'll avoid it for a while, and you'll have a good communication? " Lan Li couldn't help interrupting their conversation and protested.
Matthew didn't speak. He went back to his desk, sat down and went on with his work.
Andy takes his eyes back and looks at Lan Li with a little worry in his eyes.
Blue Li spread out his hands, "you say, we go downstairs to talk about things now, is there still time?" It means to avoid Matthew.
A word of ridicule succeeded in making andy dumbfounded and the atmosphere relaxed again. Lanli then said, "don't worry, I'm fine." Through the performance of this work, I really feel a lot, but also gain a lot. Recently, I'm still digesting slowly, but I'm fine. "
It's just Jack who refuses Nightwalker. Maybe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but I always believe that if I miss this time, there will be another time. Jack is more suitable for the role of 'Night Walker'. I believe he can give more content to the role. That's all "You can always find a better script, can't you?"
Andy quietly looks at lanli, and lanli calmly greets Andy's line of sight.
Finally, Andy showed his familiar smile again and shook his head gently. "When did you start to learn sweet words? It doesn't sound like you at all. "
"Are you sure it was recently upgraded? Or have you never found out before? Does this mean that our partnership has gone further? " Blue Li gently raised eyebrow tail, jokingly said.
Andy was stunned again. Now he can be sure that lanli is still lanli. He doesn't need to worry too much, so he ignored lanli's banter and went back to the main point of the topic? What are you going to do? Call Jack in person to recommend the play? Or call writer Dan to recommend Jack
"Who is the producer of the film?" After the experience of "pop drummer" as a producer, lanli has a better understanding of the process of making movies, and a frame naturally emerges in his mind.
Andy gently breathed out a breath, "no, in fact, the film has not yet found a producer. Dan Gilroy submitted the script to the company. In a sense, he actually wanted you to become a producer, and then depending on your reputation, he could find investors. Of course, these are my own guesses. Dan and I didn't talk about these details; But, you know, it's always difficult to find investment in Hollywood for such a dark and realistic script. "
This is true of the "cracker drummer," and so is the "Night Walker.".
"Well, I recommend this project to Andre Hamilton to see if he is interested in taking over; Then I'll make an appointment with Jack Gyllenhaal to talk about the project face to face and see if he's interested in working as a producer himself
"You can be a producer, even if you don't play." Andy further suggests, "after all, you've done the producer's job."
"I don't mind. But at most, I'm just nominal. I don't want to get involved in the creative work of actors and directors. " Blue Li dry crisp ground says.
Even as the same producer, his responsibilities and tasks are different. Among the "pop drummer", lenley puts forward his own ideas about the script, performance and core of the film, because he is a part of the film.
But "Night Walker" is not. He doesn't want his creative ideas to become a stumbling block for Gilroy. Of course, he can exchange ideas with Gilroy and Jack before he officially starts the machine, but he should try to avoid too much interference after the machine starts.
This is one of his changes.
In fact, it's also a common transformation choice for Hollywood's top actors:
From the front to the back, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon and so on are all like this.
Talented, then choose to play and excellent director, become the person in charge of the guide tube; Lack of talent, then rely on their years of experience to become a producer, if interested in the role, you can stand in front of the camera again.
After all, the career of an actor is still relatively limited, and few actors can act as old as Meryl Streep and Catherine Hepburn; Therefore, most actors have to consider the future blueprint, some choose to retire, and those who are willing to stay in Hollywood, the producer led behind the scenes work is obviously the best choice.
Now, too, Langley is opening up more possibilities - though far from his retirement age.
For Andy, this is naturally a good thing, and his mood is more relaxed. "I thought that you would choose the script of 'Night Walker', and the next period of work will be settled, which can make me feel at ease and deal with the two projects of Universal Pictures. But I didn't expect that you chose comity, which also forced me, I have to come up with a trump card. "
"Trump card?" Lan Li showed a look of interest, eager to try.
