Andre Hamilton opened the door of the apartment, looked back in surprise and said, "Langley, you didn't lock the door? Didn't it say that someone broke in last week? Although your nerve line is thick, it's not so stupid, is it
Entering the room, Andre saw the expression of Andy and Matthew's face, which made Andre's expression pause a little, slowly turn his head, and then he saw the calm face of Langley. He could not help blinking, straightened his waist, and still said, "how can you be stupid, Do you not allow me to make complaints about it?
Andre knew that Langley was a man who could afford to joke.
Even so, Andre avoided sight and went straight into the room. He sat down on Matthew's right side and began to look for glasses and wine. "What are you talking about? Go on, don't worry about me."
Lan Li's eyes show a smile, looking at Andy again, and continuing the topic.
"What you mean is that there is already a list inside the company, but you are not sure about my idea. You are worried that my choice will be shot by me, which will easily create confusion. You'd better know my idea in advance, and then senior brokers inside the company will be able to advance to get benefits, right?"
The overall management system of innovative artists agency is the only one in Hollywood: resource sharing and interest sharing - that is, the company's resources are fully open to all artists, while the company's profits are shared by all agents. Such a unique operation mode makes them firmly occupy the top position in the industry.
However, the success of such a model has historical causes, which cannot be copied or imitated. Michael owitz, who had personally created such a model and led the company to the top, later left the creative artists agency and failed to succeed in the position of Disney president. After that, he created another small agency and started from scratch again, but he also failed to succeed.
Although sharing resources and sharing interests equally, people are biased. Every agent hopes that actors who are closer to him can get more opportunities.
"Jurassic Park" is such an opportunity. Steven Spielberg is the producer, and lenley hall is the leading actor. It is doomed to be a major project before shooting. Although within the innovative artists agency, the opportunity is shared, and each of its actors is qualified to enter the competition; But the agents are still eight immortals, each showing his magic power, looking forward to their own actors - even the director can get the appreciation of Lan Li.
Even Andy has become a fragrant bun.
In this way, lanli directly pierced Andy's intention, and Andy was not angry. He still carried red wine in his right hand and put his left hand on his beer belly. "Since you know my situation, it's better to reveal a little bit of information, so that I can take the opportunity to show off. You know, even when actors come to the company, they come to say hello to me and bring me coffee. "
"Ha. Just a cup of coffee? " Andre sat by and said meaningfully.
Andy pursed the corners of his mouth, and a smile came from his eyes. There was no affirmation but no negation.
"You can tell them what actors they want to recommend and list them all. My acceptance range is very wide."
This meaningful words let Andy directly rolled a white eye, "do you expect them to believe it?"
"I'm seriously answering questions, they don't believe me, and I can't help it." Lan Li shrugged and expressed his helplessness.
Lenley is serious.
Of course, he can recommend the cast and make Cass based on the final version of the previous life, which is very easy. However, in this way, it will be hand picked, and the trend of things will inevitably be more complicated; It's better to let it be. If there are more suitable candidates, why not? After all, history has changed the trajectory now, just as the entire production line-up of tomorrow's edge has changed.
So, lanli is really open to all possibilities now.
Andre picked up his glass. "What are you trying to make them believe? You should tell them that if you don't want to believe in lenley, then there should be no need to believe in you. You are lenley's agent, and they need to see your face, not the other way around. "
As a matter of course, the tone is still domineering and domineering, but when you think about it, it's reasonable.
Then Andre continued, "since there are no standards for Langley, aren't they up to you? You can choose an actor list based on your recent alienation, or enjoy benefits; Anyway, when the time comes, it's lanli who refuses and makes the final decision. Just give him the black pot. "
Andy and Matthew both cast their eyes at Andre. Although there is no special expression or words, the meaning is obvious: black and blue face to face, are you sure it doesn't matter?
Andre straightened up and said, "Langley is a devil. He never mind. Those kind-hearted people are cheated by his appearance. We do good deeds to show them the true face of Lan Li, and then they know that this person can never be teased casually in the future, right? "
"Have you ever thought about the reason why you are still alive?" Lan Li said calmly.
"..." Andre met lanli's restrained eyes, blinked, then pretended not to hear, bowed his head to drink a mouthful of red wine, and then said to Andy, "I'm just a suggestion, just a suggestion. It's up to you to decide how to operate and implement it. "
The appearance of pretending to be calm makes people laugh.
Slowly, Langley turned his eyes to Andy again and said with a smile, "just tell them that I don't have time for the moment, and there are more important work to be done first recently." With his eyes, Lan Li indicated the script on the table. "I believe it's not difficult to judge whether it's a Jurassic Park or these important movies."
If Sisyphus film officially starts mass production of films, the innovative artist agency will be the first beneficiary, and a large number of job opportunities will be in front of us.
Andy is clear and agrees.
Andre also returned to the line of sight at this time, freely joined the discussion topic, "is there any progress in the project now? Last night, when we had a drink with Eaton, he felt that we could go both ways. Some projects could be put into production first, and the development plan of streaming media platform could be put aside for the time being. Sony's classic cooperation could be carried out normally; In addition, Disney will choose two of our projects, won't it? "
Lan Li nodded in agreement.
Creating a streaming media platform is not a task that can be completed in one or two days. However, the film production department of Sisyphus pictures can start to work. After the "burst drummer" and "Night Walker", their cooperation with Sony classic has gradually found a way out, and now they can enter the next stage of original content production.
"There are too many projects, still in the process of selection; But I've made a list... "
In the middle of Langley's speech, Andre interjected, "here's a list, too?"
be quiet.
Completely quiet.
Andre didn't seem to know that he had told a cold joke. He looked at lanli calmly, and then he saw lanli's head gently. "Yes, there's a list here, too. There's a supermarket shopping list written by Matthew on my fridge. Otherwise, after our meeting, would you like to go to the supermarket?"
"I don't think so." This young master Hamilton has never been shopping in a supermarket in his life. "I don't think I fit in with the character of the supermarket very well."
"So let's focus on this list, don't you think?" Lanli's calm words made people feel a kind of creepy horror. Andre couldn't help throwing his eyes at Matthew. "What's the matter with him today?"
"You can try to read for eight hours a day and for a month without interruption." Matthew said calmly.
Andre gave a straight shiver, "then I'd rather die."
"So, can we talk about this list now?" Lanli's voice makes Andre quickly take back his sight, and he can't help sitting up straight. Just like a clever pupil, he no longer has the air of just hanging around, and shows his high concentration.
Lanli handed the list on the table to Andre, "I didn't count it carefully. Now I calculate how many works I have, just add one when I see one. However, I made some simple notes at the back. Do you remember the poem notes of our high school before? That's how I recorded it; You can make a simple judgment and then decide the order of production
Andy sat up straight, too, and leaned over.
It was a piece of white letterhead, completely handwritten, with the name of the project on the left, neatly arranged in a row; On the right side are some vowels and numbers. For those who understand them, they are clear at a glance, while for laymen, they are wordless. But to be sure, the neat and beautiful font really has the quality of English poetry, which seems to have nothing to do with film and television.
"The first and second pages are films; The third page is TV series. " Lanli then explained, "in addition, have you ever considered making animation series, such as Simpson family, spoof house, or Japanese animation..."
The production process of animation series is relatively less cumbersome, and the investment cost is relatively easy to save. Of course, the audience is narrower and the success is more difficult.
Andre shook his head to say no, "Langley, we are too busy now to buy the right to adapt novels or comics. More importantly, our capital chain can't keep up. Let's focus on this list first, which is more practical. "
In the face of Andre's determination, lanli didn't say much. He pursed the corners of his mouth, and then nodded his head to show that he understood: it seems that his pie is too big.
