Universal pictures could give up Lanley and restart the "Jurassic Park" project, but now the situation is getting more and more difficult. They have to take into account the attitude of Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, two super producers, and avoid doing it all.
What's more, today's lanli is not what it used to be, and its discourse power and control power are different from what they used to be. In the process of improving the film remuneration, the internal and external factors are both in place, and the advance and retreat are appropriate. Not only are the major brokerage companies fueling the fire, but even other film companies have not complained too much. It can be said that blue Lee has occupied the "moral commanding height", and Universal Pictures is the passive one.
If it's not a matter of necessity, Lang Meyer still doesn't want to tear his face.
Since cooperation can not be interrupted for the time being, it is the best choice to continue negotiations.
Now the relationship between Thomas Toure and Andy Rogers has reached an impasse. If we simply play games with numbers and conditions, universal pictures will only fall into a disadvantageous situation. I'm afraid the film payment will not be the current figure. In order to win more bargaining chips and ease the situation of both sides, it's the best choice to start with lenley.
What's more, lanli is the key to the whole thing. As long as lanli nods and agrees, Andy will not be a problem.
In short, Universal Pictures thinks that Lan Li is a person who attaches great importance to love and can be moved; But Andy and Roy are profit oriented people, and numbers are the only weapon.
But now lanli has disappeared, leaving everything to Andy and Roy, and Universal Pictures is in a dilemma. In a short time, things got into a deadlock.
However, Universal Pictures has been holding its ground for the time being, while other producers will not worry about the face of Lang Meyer and Thomas tour. The eight immortals cross the sea and show their magic power. Those producers who are good at drilling have targeted Andy and Roy, especially Warner Brothers. Even Kevin hayara has become proactive and willing to hit Thomas tour at the critical moment.
So Andy and Roy are hot. As the agent and manager of lanli, the so-called seven grade officials in front of the prime minister's door naturally have a rising voice and appeal in the industry. Especially Andy Rogers.
Last summer, the brokerage contract between lanli and Andy was about to expire, and there was a stir in the industry. Even inside the innovative artist brokerage company, there was internal strife.
At that time, Andy fell into the situation of being besieged on all sides. However, Lan Li, with a light touch, quickly cuts the mess and directly renews his contract with Andy, not only sorting out the complicated situation clearly; At the same time, he also stood up for Andy in the innovative artist agency and established the position of Andy's senior partner.
There is no doubt about the cooperative relationship and personal friendship between Andy and Langley.
Now lanli is becoming more and more popular. After the "gravity" box office data is released, looking back on last year's brokerage contract, Andy's weight will become more and more unusual; But lanli still chose to trust Andy and Roy, and left everything to them with 100% trust, which naturally made them the target of the public.
It is not appropriate to use this sentence here, because Roy and Andy are not "chickens and dogs"; But that's mostly the case.
Roy just sat down in front of Andy, and their cell phones rang at the same time. They both exchanged a line of sight, and the bottom of their eyes was clear. Then they confirmed their cell phone at the same time. Roy cut off the phone directly, and Andy picked it up. After a few words, they hung up the phone and explained to Roy, "Notice of the afternoon meeting of the company."
Roy showed his understanding with a soft chin, then motioned to his cell phone, frowning and complaining, "party invitation. God, don't they know I don't like parties the most? "
Roy didn't like parties since he used to be a public agent in the actors' Union. He was a pure otaku and liked to do carpentry at home. Langley's home in New York had a bedside table made by Roy himself. For him, work has been very tired, he needs a little quiet time of his own.
"It shows that their investigation work is still not in place." Andy is also in the mood to joke, but the social occasions in the industry are just like a duck to water for him.
Everyone is trying to please Roy and Andy, and then close the distance with Langley through them. In fact, not to mention them, even Roy's family and Andy's friends can feel the upsurge, and their relatives and friends can also find a natural common topic through Facebook.
Roy and Andy are now the most popular party invitees in Hollywood, only seven days a week, but Roy can receive more than 30 party invitations. Even if he practices the technique of separation, he can't do everything. Now he finally understands what is called "happiness trouble".
But for Roy, it's a bit of a jester.
He knew that at best he was just a stepping stone to lanli; He won't enjoy it, but he will check it seriously. In the final analysis, it's still up to Lan Li to make decisions. It's not him who controls the power of life and death.
As he spoke, Roy's cell phone rang again. This time it was a text message. He just glanced at it and ignored it. Then he sighed and shook his head helplessly. "Do you know? Now there are women who take the initiative to come back to the door. God, what are they thinking? I'm not Langley. Can't they see that? "
Andy is not surprised, said with a smile, "this is Hollywood." After a pause, Andy showed a clear expression and said, "in fact, I have always been curious about why Langley is willing to choose you as the manager. After all, this is a position that needs trust. Now I finally know."
Hollywood is a dazzling Vanity Fair. It's so flashy that people can't extricate themselves. Unconsciously, they gradually lose themselves. In fact, it's not a shame, because even saints can't escape the control of their own desires. It's true in any era and any region, and the colorful people are so irresistible.
Don't mention actors, directors or producers, who are at the top of the pyramid. Even small characters such as managers, assistants, photo assistants, field reporters, drama teams and so on, can always be sought after and flattered - not only because they are difficult to deal with, but also because they are like small screws, As long as we can find the right position, we can also play a huge role.
In the past, when Roy was a public agent, he occasionally met young actors to approach him, maybe just for the audition of a film; But Roy never liked it.
Roy knew that this was the industry rule, the social rule, or the natural rule. He had no intention of criticizing or changing, and could not do anything with his own strength; However, he also firmly believes that there are countless possibilities for life beyond success and brilliance——
When you choose to give up some persistence, even if you can get the ideal result, things will not be the same after all. Or choose to insist, and then enjoy life; Or choose to give up and go on without hesitation. In the end of his repeated struggle and hesitation, he chose to stick to it.
So he resigned, uncertain about his future.
It's an accident, but it's also luck.
Now, as Langley's agent, Roy once again stands in the whirlpool of Hollywood Vanity Fair, bathed in the focus of numerous pursuit and hot discussion, not only does he not leave, but also gets closer to the center. The only difference is that he can still be himself.
In the face of Andy's ridicule, Roy curled his lips, "if you are waiting for me to praise you now, then you are doomed to be disappointed."
Andy tapped his finger indifferently. "I'm just saying it, and you don't have to worry about it." In the best of spirits make complaints about it, and then said cheerfully, "have you heard? Now it's rumored in the industry that we are the most difficult targets. If we can have a direct dialogue with lanli, things will be much easier. "
"..." Roy showed a look of consternation, as if he had just seen an idiot.
This instant triggered Andy's sympathy, smiling and nodding, "right? These guys are really idiots. They don't even know what's going on, so they just talk about it. If they deal with blue Li face to face in person, they can't even cry. "
Roy turned a blind eye. "Because they are facing us now, there is room for maneuver, even make complaints about their private lives. If it's lanli, they don't need three rounds to lose one by one. They may not know what happened
"Three rounds? No, I think one round is enough Andy changed his voice.
Roy shrugged and further Tucao went to make complaints about the real battle. It's like now, aren't they pestering us? "
Make complaints about Roy can be heard without end. Tall trees catch much wind and thunder. Andy and Andy are the most popular and influential people in the industry recently. The two people's criticisms and troubles have attracted numerous criticisms. The so-called red is not much. What Andy just said is just the tip of the iceberg. The voice of those who are in the Tucao is holding the chicken feather to be an arrow.
But Roy and Andy also have a hard time: everyone thinks that Langley is an angel, but only those who really understand Langley know that things are far from that simple.
