Chapter 1471

"Langley, would you like to play Cooper?"

All of a sudden, Christopher sent out an invitation. In the negotiation between you and me, lanli was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "I thought you still need to think seriously."

Christopher didn't mind Langley's wonderful attitude - he didn't nod his head gratefully, he didn't thank him in a flattering way, and he laughed himself. "I'm surprised, too. But... Since I like it, why hesitate? "

"When it comes to selecting actors, I always believe in my intuition, because there is a subtle connection between actors and characters, which is crucial for my shooting work." Christopher then said frankly, "in fact, I have doubts about your age. Even now, I am still worried that if you are chosen to play Cooper, the age of all other actors must be adjusted accordingly, but..."

The words so stopped, blue Li gently jaw head, took the initiative to take over the topic, "but you are willing to gamble."

"Yes, I'm willing to gamble." "But the most risky part of every one of my works is not the actors, and my price is limited," he said

The real challenge of Christopher's works is always based on the story and script; Of course, there are also wild visual effects, but they must be presented in the most realistic way as possible, which also means that the crew must bear more risks and accidents.

Such words are between arrogance and self-confidence, but they become more and more blurred because of Christopher's seriousness and seriousness. Let blue Li gently raise his eyebrow and say meaningfully, "but this time, if you choose to cooperate with me, I think you should take some risks."

Christopher didn't understand the meaning. He just took it for granted that it was still a matter of age. "It's true that age is a problem to be considered, but we can always find a solution. An excellent actor can perform from his youth to his old age. Now the film industry is mature enough. "

Lan Li's eyes showed a light smile, gently shook his head, "no, I'm talking about pay."

Without any cover up, Lan Li put forward the key question in this way. Although lanli doesn't care, he has promised Andy before that he can't give in to the issue of film payment this time. So lanli is frank and honest.

Christopher was stunned - literally.

Christopher keeps a surprised expression, slightly stares at lanli, and looks at him seriously. Unexpected problems come to his face. His first reaction is that lanli is joking, but lanli's smile can't find any flaws. Then Christopher realizes that this is the right thing.

Still, Christopher was unable to answer.

"Well, of course. Sure. " Christopher said a few words politely. At this moment, his panic and consternation revealed his amateurish green feeling. He thought about it seriously, and then said, "indeed, it must be a problem that can't be ignored. Commercial films must discuss this part, and both directors and actors can't get around this part. No problem, of course not. It needs to be discussed slowly. "

Despite a series of nagging, there is no substance at all.

Lanli heard Andy mention that Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are rare couples in the industry. They are still close after ten years of cooperation. The reason is very simple. It's not the so-called distinction between work and private affairs, but the clear division of labor and cooperation between them——

Emma is in charge of the negotiation of film payment and budget. Social occasions are her strong points; Christopher is responsible for all the filming related work in the studio and the film casting and other pre work; If there is a communication problem between the director and the producer, Emma will act as a bridge to negotiate with the outside and dredge the inside.

Over the years, such a way of cooperation has opened up a unique world, which also enables Christopher Nolan's directing work to be carried out in an all-round way without worries.

It's the same today.

"You wait here for a moment." After leaving behind a lot of polite words, Christopher didn't say anything more. Even the acting topic he was discussing was interrupted. He didn't realize it at all, so he got up and left in a hurry and went into the room.

In terms of negotiations, this is definitely not Christopher Nolan's strong point.

Lanli was not worried or dissatisfied. He sat quietly and tasted his coffee slowly. After he left the movie world, the sound of rain around him became bright again. It was like falling on the eardrum, playing the violin Nocturne lightly and flexibly.

Vaguely, Lan Li could see a line of sight coming from behind him, turned his head, and then saw flora hiding behind the screen window door, exaggerating to put his cheek on the screen window, and deliberately round his eyes, peeping at Lan Li's every move.

At this time, seeing that Lan Li turned around, flora quietly raised her nose, slowly opened her mouth and made an exaggerated grimace, which became twisted under the cutting of the screen lattice. It reminds people of Jack Nicholson who used an axe to split the door of the room in "flash".

All of a sudden, Lan Li also made a big face to express his response.

Flooradun began to laugh and seemed very satisfied with lanli's grimace. Then he began to make other grimaces seriously. In a second, he entered the "battle of grimaces".

"Flora!" Just then, Emma Thomas appeared and patted her on the back. "Mom needs to talk to this gentleman about something. Can you wait a moment? What do you think of playing LEGO with your brothers first? " There was no direct command, but a little gentle persuasion.

Flora bit her lower lip. Although she was reluctant to part with her, she finally nodded her head cleverly and got out of the way. She was still reluctant to part with her steps. She stood by and watched Lan Li quietly.

Roy didn't know where he came from. He held his sister's right hand, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he looked out curiously. Looking at Lan Li, who had cleared up his face and regained his peace, he was shaking hands with his mother. He was a little curious, but he was still a big child after all. He turned around and left with his sister, "Oliver and manus are building Westminster Abbey. Are you ready to join us?"

……

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's a mess at home. I hope I didn't disturb you. Summer vacation is always like this. Now parents are always looking forward to the start of school in September, and our work will be cut in half. " Emma laughs, shakes hands with lenley, and then sits down in Christopher's place.

At this time, Emma has replaced a black-and-white casual dress, not too formal, but also not too sloppy; A short and medium hair just reaching the shoulder has also been treated with hair wax or hair gel, with a little light make-up, the whole hostess's posture will show.

Lenley shook his head and said with a smile, "please don't say that. It's my honor to be invited to Chris's house. I hope you don't disturb the rhythm of the holiday because of my arrival, otherwise, it will be my faux pas. "

"No, no, No." Emma laughed happily. "To be honest, I always think it's Chris' faux pas. We should formally invite you to dinner and choose to come home in the morning. That's not the right way to treat guests."

There is a difference between treating business partners and further friends. Dinner is a very important link in the social system of western culture. Those who can have dinner together are either formal enough or familiar enough.

Christopher has an appointment in the morning, which means that he is a pure working partner and an equal partner. Even Chris has the upper hand. In fact, this is an important signal.

Now Emma has brought up dinner on her own initiative, which means that in the process of brief conversation and task handover between Christopher and Emma, Christopher has released a positive and optimistic signal, maybe even a 100% positive signal.

"If it's a dinner party, it's too formal. Maybe we can't see the lively and living side of the children." Lan Li said with a smile, "children's world is always simple. Such carefree days are missed. Summer, summer vacation, is always full of countless memories

"Ha, I don't know. You are also a child lover." Emma sighed a little, but did not further study, "it seems that, in addition to the camera lens, you still have many small secrets of your own."

"Just like Chris." Lanli's reply successfully made Emma smile. They held up their coffee and motioned to each other.

Emma is sorting out her thoughts quickly.

Just in a short period of time, Christopher left Langley in the back porch, but he didn't grasp the details of social occasions well enough; But Emma can't, she must return to the position as soon as possible, otherwise the host is too impolite to the guests, not to mention, the other party is still hereditary aristocracy.

Therefore, Christopher and Emma don't have much time to communicate. They can only explain the situation in a few words. First, Christopher thinks that Langley is the right person for the role; Second, Lan Li put forward the demand for film remuneration.

In a hurry, Emma was slightly stunned and did not expect such a turn.

Lenley? What's the pay?
