Chapter 1752

Andy unties his tie and the first button of his shirt, but his movements are stiff. He looks up at blue Li in front of him and says, "why do I feel strange?"

At this time, Rooney just walked into the restaurant, put two cups of coffee in front of lanli and Andy respectively, and jokingly said, "if you say that, does it mean that I should avoid it? Leave some... Private space for both of you. "

Andy looked at Rooney, a little bit can't keep up with the rhythm - still too tired, nervous tension is not easy to relax down, now the reaction is a little slow, and then looked at blue Li, but found blue Li mouth up, it seems that there is no meaning for him to extricate himself, which makes Andy helplessly shake his head, "I'm a guest, OK?"

Rooney said with a smile, "then I'll leave some room for the guests." Then, Lu Ni threw a look at Lan Li, turned around and left the dining room. She went back to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Andy looked at lanli in front of him. "What I'm most curious about now is, is it because you two are so similar that they get together, or is it because they become more and more similar after they get together?"

A smile flowed from the bottom of blue Li's eyes, but he didn't answer. Instead, he went back to the topic. "From your reaction, the conversation this afternoon was not so smooth."

"No, in fact, the conversation went more smoothly than expected." Andy's answer surprised Lansley. "Bob egger is a decisive figure. As long as he has made a decision, to a certain extent, he is willing to give up part of his interests to promote the whole project. His courage and courage are above me."

It's an accident that Andy admits he's not as good as Bob.

Aware of the surprise of lanli's eyes, Andy's fingers tap on the table. "It's not a shame. He can be in charge of Disney, obviously not a fool; On the contrary, it has proved his ability. This is not the first time that I have dealt with him, but it is the first time that I have launched a real game of interests. His determination and control have really left a deep impression on people, even a sense of oppression. I can feel the gap. "

Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth and gently agreed.

Andy was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "aren't you going to comfort me? Praise me, tell me I'm not that bad, comfort my hurt heart, and so on. "

"Do you need it?" Lan Li asked.

Andy opens his mouth and tries to explain, but he is defeated in the end. It's not the first day that he got to know lanli, so he comes back to the topic, "this time, we are in a passive position."

In order to check and balance Universal Pictures, lanli took the initiative to take Warner Bros., Sony classics and Disney. This also means that Disney has more initiative, and they can decide whether to enter or not.

"Although this passivity is not obvious, we are not necessarily Disney. Even if there is no real project cooperation, just a positive attitude between us and Disney is enough. These rumors are enough to create the situation we expect. But... Disney does have some advantages. But in today's conversation, Bob almost gave up that advantage. "

Andy's words let blue Li gently pick eyebrows, showing interest in the eyes.

"Many details and links can be seen. He has preset and considered all the potential possibilities in advance. In his eyes, my game is completely the expected means. It's hard to describe the frustration. " With that, Andy's eyebrows showed a little contemplative look, and his speaking speed slowed down obviously.

This kind of Andy is a little strange. It can be seen that the confrontation with Bob makes him feel a higher level of scheming - some scheming has no effect in the face of absolute strength, just like the ten meeting of one force reduction. That kind of unreasonable absolute strength is an insurmountable barrier.

That's what Disney is now.

In a way, it's the same with Langley.

After Andy shakes his mind a little bit, the focus of his eyes condenses again and goes on, "he has given up part of his interests, and the whole negotiation process is far beyond my expectation. If there is no accident, we can get the contract tomorrow, and then the review and signing process."

"Oh." Lanli also made an unexpected call. The progress is so fast... It's just amazing, especially compared with Universal Pictures.

Andy nodded in affirmation, making sure he wasn't wrong and that lenley wasn't wrong, and then added, "but I've tried it out in detail, and there's no script. The original characters and story frame have been overturned, and now they need to be re created. I suspect that the script is slower than Bob said. I don't know what happened in the process. I need to find out more. So if you want to read the script before signing, then we need to wait. "

Lanli's expression didn't change much, but he gave his own opinion objectively. "You can ask if my producer's power includes the right to modify the script and the right to make decisions."

Although it's just a script, it's actually a very big power. Just like Tom Cruise's control over the "mission impossible" series, he can set the script according to his own ideas, not only the proportion of the leading role and supporting role, but also the relevant plot of the leading role.

For example, in art movies, there is often a moral dilemma, such as whether we should kill innocent children, and whether we should sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to benefit the majority of people. In "Batman: Dark Knight", the clown creates such a moral dilemma for Batman to make a choice.

But such a moral dilemma, not every screenwriter can control it well, not every actor can interpret it well. If you are not careful, you may catch fire, but it will cause the audience to rebound. If Tom Cruise is not satisfied, he can completely change the plot to show the hero's heroic spirit.

The producer's power is superior to the writer and director, just like Harvey Weinstein's nickname "scissors hand", the director can't break Harvey's thigh; If the crew gives lenley such power, it means that lenley is almost equal to Catherine Kennedy.

Lan Li's opinion is not only a trial, but also a game. Andy's face was a little queer. "In fact, I did ask for it. Bob didn't directly veto it, but bypassed the topic. Later, he said that before the script is officially implemented, it will definitely get your approval. "

This time, lanli's expression was a little strange

There is no direct veto, which means there is still room for maneuver; And implicitly said that the script is bound to let Langley see, even if it is not the right to modify and make decisions, but at least it has the right to suggest, which means that Langley's title of producer, even if it is not comparable to Catherine Kennedy, will never be a false name.

Disney's concession is definitely not a little bit.

Now Langley can understand Andy.

Disney has always had the upper hand, "grand theft one" also benefited from the Star Wars series aura, there is no lack of actors willing to join; In the face of such a level of actors as lanli, they need to show respect, but they don't need to be servile. The innate toughness of film production companies is still beyond doubt; What's more, this is Langley's first Star Wars series, so naturally there is no privilege when Robert Downey Jr. and Johnny Depp Jr. negotiate a sequel.

In other words, they still keep courteous treatment, even give in. This is really abnormal!

Blue ceremony eyebrow tail lightly a Yang, didn't conceal his surprise, "obviously, they are seeking bigger benefit." This is the only reason that can be explained.

Andy nodded in agreement. "I know. But it is precisely because of this that I have exhausted all my mind, only to feel exhausted. Because I can't see Bob's blueprint, and I can't see Disney's ambition. I can't find the familiar sense of security. "

The difference of standpoint and position also determines the difference of perspective and field of vision.

Lanli set up a bureau to encircle and suppress diesel, but diesel could not detect it at all; Similarly, Disney set up a bureau to use Langley, and Andy can't spy on the whole situation now.

What's more, many people in the industry can't see through their intentions.

Langley pondered for a moment, vaguely aware of Disney's idea:

The commercial benefits and market value of Star Wars series are no less than those of Marvel films; The role of Marvel comics is inexhaustible. Disney can get through the movie, TV, paradise and other industries, and build a huge kingdom. Presumably, they also hope to be able to copy such a feat in the Star Wars series.

Unfortunately, there are too few "extended characters" in the Star Wars series. Disney has to create more original characters and at the same time firmly grasp the loyal fans. This is not an easy thing“ "Grand theft one" is the first exploration of the Star Wars series. Disney hopes to establish the outer universe and lay the foundation of a kingdom through lanli, which also means that... They must pay more attention to the characters, because these characters may become new gold absorbing footholds in the future.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense.

There is no need for Bob to be entangled in the local interests of "grand theft one". Now all the "sacrificed" interests can be recovered through lanli. More importantly, Bob did not mean to use lanli to complete the script and complete the role. In fact, he used lanli's reputation to publicize in advance

Lanli was the producer and enjoyed the script. If the work is successful, the box office will explode; If the work fails, then blue back pot, reduce the loss. In terms of the invincible aura of lanli, the invisible potential benefits are far more than the numbers on the paper.

This is the real sophistication!
