There was no exaggeration or emphasis. Even the standard handshake in cooperation occasions was directly skipped, not to mention the serious and profound topics such as the distribution of interests and the proportion of power. Langley and Bob were just discussing whether they should get together for brunch tomorrow. In a relaxed and simple conversation atmosphere, The cooperation relationship of "grand theft one" was finalized.
After the two sides made a friendly statement, they did not continue to discuss the work or even mention the film, but talked about the weather.
The weather in Park City, Los Angeles, New York, and January in the northern hemisphere always make people want to escape to the equator or the southern hemisphere to enjoy the sunshine.
An Englishman and an American talked seriously about the weather in the sunshine of Los Angeles.
Love months and years pass by. The fact that the British people like to talk about the weather, most of them are bad weather in the British island of Tucao, and it is rainy and cloudy. Sometimes they can experience four seasons in a day, and they can't see the sun for many years. This makes them make complaints about the weather and bad weather in thirty minutes. But now it's sunny outside, and lanli and Bob are still having a good discussion, which makes people laugh.
The atmosphere in the carriage was harmonious.
It's very convenient for Los Angeles International Airport to get to the downtown area. Without traffic jam, it only takes 20 minutes.
But instead of going back to his apartment, he went straight to Burbank to have a simple script meeting with the "super marine" team; Naturally, Bob couldn't be more welcoming. He escorted lanli all the way to Disney's headquarters building in Burbank, and then put lanli down and left.
Andy didn't get out of the car, but got into the back seat and left with Bob.
Just now, the conversation between Langley and Bob was just a verbal agreement. They never talked about the most important part of the cooperation: the film payment and the producer's power.
As everyone knows, this is the core driving force of Hollywood. Universal's "Jurassic Park" project has been dragging on for more than a year. Repeated negotiations really make people lose all patience. Even their eyes can't turn over, but it's normal in Hollywood. In the final analysis, it's because of interests, as Thomas tour and Lang Meyer do.
In fact, Andy has put the "Jurassic Park" project in the cold now. He doesn't expect lanli to join in at all. His negotiation work is in a state of slack. Even for other projects of Universal Pictures, Andy is in a lack of interest, because lanli doesn't need to look at the face of Universal Pictures at all, and now his work can't be finished. At present, Andy is still not completely torn face, on the one hand is for Paul Walker, on the other hand is for van diesel. That's it.
Compared with the procrastination and entanglement of Universal Pictures, Disney showed its determination and perseverance, even compared with Warner Brothers during Barry Meyer's navigation“ The "Jurassic Park" project has been discussed since last year's Oscar night, but there is still no breakthrough; However, "grand theft one" has only been mentioned two times and three times intermittently, but it has been officially decided in the twinkling of an eye. This is the gap.
Of course, so far, lanli and Bob have not discussed the most crucial part of benefit distribution, which also means that the two sides have never touched the most difficult and difficult part, and the cooperation has not encountered any difficulties for the time being. It can be imagined that even the "Jurassic Park" project has gone through such a process, so the next negotiation of "grand theft-a-1" can not be taken lightly.
Disney attaches great importance to the Star Wars series. They don't want to make any mistakes; And Andy is also looking forward to Lan Li creating a classic role through Star Wars series, for his career and Andy's selfishness. This also means that both sides must be more cautious in the process of interest negotiation.
This negotiation is not so easy and simple. Bob and lenley can talk and laugh, but they must show their strength when facing Andy.
With the car door closed and the engine started, Andy could even see in the rear-view mirror that lanli's figure had not completely disappeared, and the atmosphere in the car was completely different. Bob was still the same Bob, but the superior's strength quietly began to straighten up, and the whole look and smile became sharp.
Andy is not a rookie, and he is not in a hurry. Although he is in favor of "grand theft one", he still hopes that lanli can join in; But work is work. When it comes to film pay and benefits, he will never be soft handed. The more we attach importance to it, the more we need to take it seriously!
"Langley has left, so I guess we should take out the shield and sword next." Andy still looks like Maitreya. He leans lazily on the back of his chair, squints his eyes slightly and jokes with a smile. This makes the driver secretly glance in the rearview mirror. Is this the guy who just sat in the co driver's seat and worried about gain and loss?
Bobbie's one second face changing technique is really good; And Andy's ability to transform and connect is absolutely not bad.
In the face of Andy's joking posture, Bob's mouth rose slightly and seemed to make a smile, but there was no smile at the bottom of his eyes. The mask of the superior was ready and he was not moved at all. His words were also vaguely aggressive. "Are you preparing a shield or a sword?"
Andy is not flustered, that narrow into a slit of the eyes slightly opened, meaningfully joked, "I don't know, I still have room to attack." Isn't Disney the absolute winner?
Bob's face didn't change. He didn't even speak. Instead, he waited for Andy to offer.
The difference between the seller's market and the buyer's market is suddenly highlighted. Standing in front of Universal Pictures, it is more often the other side that puts forward conditions; But now Disney is blatantly asking Andy to show his cards first - there is still the kindness and friendliness in the car when he faces blue Li, but Bob's attitude has changed 180 degrees.
The pull and struggle for the initiative started from the first sentence. This war without gunpowder has just begun.
Andy was not surprised at all, but he didn't follow Bob's way, but according to his own way and rhythm, he mentioned another thing, "you say, the script is still in the writing stage? I don't know which part has been carried out? Now that we hope to build characters around blue Li, does that mean that there are only storylines and characters? No lines yet? Or, even the characters have not been determined yet? "
Bob's chip is the Star Wars series.
Andy's chip is Langley.
Both are negotiating from their own standpoint.
Andy didn't start with the pay directly, because this is the bottom card. He must start from the rights and interests of the producer, and separate the distribution of power and responsibility of "producer" of lanli bit by bit, so as to implement it exactly. When it comes to scripts and roles, this is the area where lanli has the upper hand, and Andy can win more initiative.
It's no longer important who is holding the shield or the sword. It's indistinct that we can see the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword flying in the carriage.
……
Lanli stood in the same place and watched the car go away. The cooperation negotiation on "grand theft one" has just started. But for lanli, more important than the performance and film remuneration of "grand theft one" is the attitude of Disney. After Warner Brothers and Sony classics, Disney has entered the game smoothly. In addition to the successful ending of Sundance, Everything went according to the plan step by step.
No matter whether he can play "grand theft one" or not, and under what conditions, Lan Li has achieved his goal!
After a short pause, Langley turned and strode forward without hesitation.
"Welcome to Disney. What can I do for you?" Disney office building front desk staff took the initiative to stand up, with a smile to welcome the arrival of blue.
The opening speech has formed a conditioned reflex, almost blurted out; After speaking out, the staff realized the identity of the visitor. They couldn't hide their surprise and amazement. They almost broke free from the shackles of their throat. Although they managed to control themselves at the last moment, they didn't have time to hide their open mouth and full eyes.
In the instant of chaos, the other party still forced himself to calm down, "... Excuse me... Cough... I mean, what's the matter with visiting Disney today? Do you need me to guide you? " Try your best to keep calm, but the words are still a little messy, "... Mr. hall."
"I thought you should get used to it. It's Burbank, and it's Disney."
The real big brands gather!
Because Burbank is a large-scale shooting base, the in and out of actors and directors can't be more normal. In addition to the daily work staff, many behind the scenes production links are completed here.
The other side slightly Leng Leng, and then a hearty smile, no longer hide their excitement and excitement, had tried to maintain a professional image, but now there is no need, "but not everyone is you."
"Oh." Blue Li raised eyebrow tail, smile bloomed to open, "thank you." Then he turned and looked around. "I'll make sure there's no other company around, otherwise it may cause strong jealousy." A little joke made the atmosphere more natural and made the other party laugh. "I came here today to visit the super marine crew. I didn't make an appointment, but I communicated with the crew in advance to understand the situation and said that they would be here all day."
"Oh, yes, yes, yes." It took the other person half a beat to react.
