Chapter 1761

Although no progress has been made in the work exchange of the Berlin Film Festival, Langley still stayed in Berlin, calmed down and devoted himself to the film festival.

This time, he did not have any works shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, nor did he become an invited guest. He just participated in the film viewing boom of the festival as an audience. Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Langley has devoted himself to the atmosphere of a film festival without a job - at least in the face of it; It's also a unique experience.

For the Berlin Film Festival, Langley once again missed this year's Grammy Awards.

"Drunken folk" movie soundtrack has been shortlisted for the best adapted film and television music album nomination. Before the award ceremony, this is also an important point: can Lan Li continue his strong position in the major award ceremonies and win the Grammy gramophone trophy again?

Now that lanli is absent from the award ceremony, the focus of the topic seems a little dim; However, Justin Timberlake appeared on behalf of the crew at the ceremony.

In the competition for the best adapted film and television music album, "drunken folk" competes with "rescued Jango", "the Great Gatsby", "les miserables" and "sound City: from reality to scroll".

In the end, "drunken ballad" defeated the most popular documentary "sound city" before the ceremony, and won the second Grammy trophy for the Cohen brothers and t-ben-bennett after the original "three kings of prison escape". It was also the fourth Grammy trophy for Lanley.

This time, Langley won the Grammy trophy as a music producer, which proves once again that Don Quixote's brilliance is not a meteor in a flash. At the end of last year's "dream back to the gas bar" concert, Langley personally confirmed that there was a plan for a second album, and now a Grammy trophy has once again made the loyal don Quixotes look forward to it.

However, the influence of the Grammy trophy on the original soundtrack of the film is still limited, and there are not many waves in the surging wave of the award season. After all, compared with egot, a gramophone trophy that is neither a professional nor a professional is not enough to stimulate the gossip enthusiasm of the masses.

When lanli returned to Los Angeles, February was half over, and the upsurge of the Academy Awards ceremony had spread in the streets. Even the airport could see the Oscar billboard. All kinds of signs showed that the Academy had really entered the final stage of public relations.

Leaving the reception hall, lanli and Matthew see Nathan coming to pick up the plane.

After finishing his temporary guest role in Sundance, Nathan returned to Los Angeles. However, because Langley left for Berlin, he had a short holiday. Now that the holiday is over, he is back at work again.

After getting on the bus, Nathan glanced in the rear-view mirror and cleared his throat with exaggeration. "How's everything going in Berlin, Langley? I mean, are the work and cooperation negotiations going well? I've seen on twitter that you've watched some of the main competition units and talked with fans. That's a good thing, right? Does that mean things are going well? "

Nathan was a little stiff, but he kept on talking. The long and nagging words seemed very dry, more like talking to himself, asking and answering questions.

Matthew threw a Tucao look at blue rite - not to make complaints about the blue ceremony, even Matthew could feel the almost embarrassing air. After watching the long flight, she didn't wake up completely. Matthew shook her head gently and then met Nathan's line of vision.

Nathan didn't mind Matthew's blunt words, nodded honestly, "Oh, oh. Andy said, "if you're not very tired now, give him a call."

Lanli motioned to Matthew, "ask me what's the matter."

In fact, there's nothing wrong with lanli now. Long distance flight is like a sleepy night. Lanli's rising gas is always very serious, and it takes some time to recover after waking up. As for the last time he came back from Park City in Los Angeles, it was a short flight, otherwise lanli might not be able to face Bob egger immediately.

Matthew didn't say much. He took out his cell phone and dialed Andy.

"Hey, Matthew. Is Langley resting Andy saw the caller ID and understood it immediately.

"He's right there." Matthew said simply.

Andy didn't ask much. He really couldn't understand the state of Langley after his long-distance flight. He immediately got to the point, "it's not urgent. It's just the news from Universal Pictures. Please let Langley know what the decision is. I'll start the operation later."

Universal Pictures, which not only maintains the two projects of "speed and passion" and "Jurassic Park", but also aims at the overall layout of Thomas tour and van diesel. With the strategizing in the past month, Lang Mayer has finally made a practical move, which also means that the time has come to witness the results, and Andy must make corresponding follow-up arrangements, It's obviously not going to end there.

Through the call, Andy tells Matthew the whole story in a relatively simple way.

Then Andy is ready to hang up, but Matthew says, "wait a minute." Then he turned to lanli and said, "Universal Pictures has made an official offer."

"Jurassic Park, 20 million US dollars. If the North American box office exceeds 300 million US dollars, then 10% of the box office bonus will be added." Speed and passion: 8 '$10 million, plus 10% of the box office bonus. If the box office in North America exceeds $300 million, the percentage of bonus will rise to 12%, but the premise is that you need to sign at least one foreign film, and the pay can be slightly increased. "

It's been a long time, and it's been nearly a year's tug - and the tug of "speed and passion" series has lasted more than two years. However, all the tangles, obstacles and arguments have finally come to nothing and become useless. Universal Pictures has finally chosen to bow down.

Six months in advance, Universal Pictures doesn't need to pay such a price to complete the cooperation with lanli easily, and the relationship won't be so awkward and stiff; But the most difficult thing in the world is to "predict the future.". Thus, the two sides finally came to the present situation.

There's a lot of information, but to sum up, in October last year, universal pictures all agreed to Andy Rogers's offer - 20 million US dollars plus 10% of the box office bonus, which officially exceeded Disney's offer for "grand theft one" in cooperation with lenley, setting a new Hollywood film payment record.

But "Jurassic Park" and "speed and passion" are still different, because the former is the absolute protagonist, while the latter is a member of the group. Naturally, the pay can not be the same.

However, simply from the perspective of pay figures, the proportion of Lan Li's plays in "speed and passion" is bound to rise in a straight line, otherwise it will be a loss business. Furthermore, it also proves Lang Meyer's Choice -- van diesel's No. 1 producer position has been finally pulled down. For others, it may be a natural choice, but for Yu Lang Meyer, it has experienced a lot of hard deliberation. It is not so much Lang Meyer's decision as Langley's help to Lang Meyer's decision.

Lan Li straightened his waist and leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes half closed. Even when he was at rest, he still kept upright. But between his eyebrows, there was a touch of laziness. The sun was pouring down from the window, just like a sleeping cat, enjoying the afternoon leisurely time.

Just as Nathan thought Langley would not speak, he said, "Oh, why?"

"Disney officially released the industry news, TMZ has reported, but the official has not officially confirmed." Matthew summed up what he had just learned from Andy.

If TMZ has sensed the change, it means that the industry's top producers have begun to pay attention to the trend. Because this is from Disney's initiative to release the news, then the proportion of relevant film pay is bound to reveal the news, and gradually begin to warm up for the official announcement of the news.

Then it becomes clear.

The cooperation between Sisyphus pictures and Sony classic is imperative, and now only the details of the contract are discussed. Andre is going further to negotiate with Sony Columbia Pictures and even Sony head office, looking forward to further cooperation between the two sides.

Warner Brothers' plan for DC Comics also has the name of lanli, but these are just shadowy; The really important focus is still on "gravity". Warner Bros., Weinstein pictures and Thomas Toure have begun to fight in the award season.

Now it's Disney's turn.

In other words, the situation expected by Langley has been completed. Now Thomas tour and van diesel have been grilled on the fire, and Lang Meyer can no longer keep silent. As a result, universal pictures made a move.

In fact, all of the above situations were expected by lanli. Although there was a slight deviation in the implementation process, the overall direction remained unchanged. With lanli's reputation and popularity in the industry, it doesn't take much effort to crush an actor like Van diesel; Even in the face of Thomas tour, Langley was able to get the upper hand.

The only difference between January and now is: does Langley take it seriously?

Lan Li still half closed his eyes, did not speak, seems to be thinking, and seems to have fallen into a sleep state, only a quiet engine sound in the car slowly surging.

Matthew was not worried at all, but waited patiently.

"After Jurassic Park, speed and passion are gone." Lan Li said so.

Universal Pictures spent nearly a year thinking over and over again, and finally decided to come late; But when the decision came to Langley, it only took less than 30 seconds to complete the shooting.

If Ron Meyer knew, what would his face look like?
