Chapter 2111

As Arthur thought, Langley didn't just return to London for George and Elizabeth——

In other words, it was true at first, but with the advance of time, Langley's idea is changing. It's not worth changing his life path for George and Elizabeth. Even hatred and anger are not worth it. He deserves a better life.

He hopes to rebuild his home in London, have his own pure land, and then open up his own world.

London. New York. Los Angeles. Even in Mordor. Or other cities. In the future, as long as he is willing, he can go to any corner of the world to pursue his dream and enjoy life. He does not need to escape because of hatred, close because of indifference, and forget because of pain. This is his life. He can do anything he wants. Even in London.

In contrast, the affairs of George and Elizabeth are the least important part, because Langley's life has a more important goal and significance.

After the auction, Langley put these trivia behind him and began to live in London again

He still kept a low profile, rarely attended the party, and did not organize his own party, but he still appeared at a private party of the Beckhams and stayed for about 30 minutes; He went to the west end of London to watch many plays, and returned to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London to attend several classes. During the period, he met with some directors and producers to discuss the project of getting on the west end stage again.

He spent a lot of time in Tate, far away from the crowd and enjoying the art carefully; In his spare time, he went to the flea market with Matthew to select some furnishings, lamps, accessories or furniture for the house. He accidentally found a retro gramophone, which made him happy for three days. Later, he wandered to the old record market, looking for vinyl records from the 1950s and 1960s.

It seems very long to describe, but it's only a week before and after. During the small holiday, lanli still crams his time and itinerary.

"Yes... Rooney has set out. Take her to the car this morning." Lan Li is curled up in the sofa of his study, with a cup of fragrant coffee on hand, reading the original novel of "game of power".

After staying in London for two days and one night, Rooney went to the "little flying" crew to start filming her second film in the second half of the year; Similarly, Matthew, Arthur, Andre and Eaton are all busy with their work, while Edith flies to Los Angeles alone, ready to go to Malibu to enjoy a quiet time. In an instant, Langley is free again, but even if he is alone, he can enjoy himself.

"Do you want to have another holiday, or are you ready to shoot again?" On the other end of the line is Andy, a long-distance call across the ocean.

Lan Li put down the thick books in his hand. "I thought that the next step was the shooting of" grand theft one ". Did the script creation progress still not meet the expectation?"

At the end of the shooting of "Jurassic world", lanli has a one to two month break to adjust the time. According to the original plan, he will go into the shooting of "Star Wars: Grand Theft one". He will start reading the script at the end of October and the beginning of November, and is scheduled to officially launch shooting in December.

But now, Andy's words reveal the uncertainty, which makes lanli aware of the abnormality.

"... yes, but there were some twists and turns in the negotiation process." Andy is also scratching his head, which is one of the disadvantages of big production: there are too many links that need to be coordinated and cooperated. If he doesn't pay attention, there may be deviation, and simple things will be complicated.

Take "grand theft one" as an example. They now have six screenwriters, two of whom are responsible for writing roles and two for writing stories. These four screenwriters work together; The other two are specially responsible for writing lines. These six people and three groups need to cooperate and coordinate with each other to trigger inspiration, but they are often prone to many differences.

What's more, the script also needs to fit in with the original story of "Star Wars", how to attract fans of the original series, how to create new fans, how to keep the charm of the characters, and how to continue the possibility of expanding the universe in the future without losing the independence of the work. These are all technical activities, absolutely not so simple.

"Do you remember that in July, because of your joining, they originally set the protagonist as a man, but later, considering the market and the future, they wanted to set the protagonist as a woman?" Andy points out that it's not for Langley to play a supporting role, but for the proportion of the male and female protagonists, with a little emphasis on the female protagonist.

"Yes, I agree." Blue Li naturally nodded, "I don't mind cutting the show, it's not a problem."

"I know." Andy recalls the original response of Langley:

Since "tomorrow's edge", lanli has always been the absolute leading actor, and all parts of "gravity" and "detachment" have been put on lanli. This is a challenge, but also a burden. The shooting work of "Jurassic world" is much simpler, and he is very willing to shift the focus to other actors, Let oneself can win more "think about the role, explore the performance space", this last sentence is the original words of lanli.

Andy can't laugh or cry about this, but he also understands what Langley means - whether as an absolute hero, or slightly weakening the part of the play, or as a part of all actors like "Pacific War" and "speed and passion 5", Langley is very happy to finish his work.

"The problem is, you do, Catherine Kennedy does not." Andy showed a wry smile, "your film payment should account for 50% of all the actors' expenses of the whole cast, or even more, but you can't make the best use of it? She doesn't think so

This made Lan Li laugh. "That's not my problem. They hope to create a diversified work, and even try to use women as the core protagonists to see if they have the position of female audience or heroine in the Star Wars market, so as to pave the way for the future. This is their blueprint, and I support it very much; But they invited me to play and complete all the contracts, which is their own idea. I have no opinion. As for how to coordinate the two, it's not my problem

Langley doesn't understand, and Andy doesn't understand either, because it involves the cooperation between Disney and Lucas pictures, as well as the power distribution between Bob Agger and Catherine Kennedy. It's a secret from the inside, and outsiders have no way to know.

"Grand theft one" is an attempt of Disney and Lucas pictures, completely independent of the original "Star Wars" series. All the characters are original, which will not affect the fate of the characters in the series or change the main line of the series. Instead, it is an attempt to further expand the blueprint of the series.

That's why Disney and Lucas want to try more.

Bob Eger hopes to create a grand blueprint for the "waizhuan series", and then build up a "Han Solo" type core hero again, just like Marvel Universe, relying on the same cosmic timeline, but telling two different stories, rather than on the same timeline as the original "Star Wars" series, Keep moving forward.

It's Bob egger's idea to invite Langley, but it's not Katherine Kennedy's.

Katherine Kennedy hopes to expand the audience base of the "Star Wars" series, just as the black widow is to the "Avengers". She hopes to establish another heroine image of women in this classic series, instead of being satisfied with the "love role" of Princess Leia or Queen Amidala, so as to open up the female market, Explore more potential for the Star Wars series.

It's Katherine Kennedy's idea to focus on female characters, and Bob doesn't care at all.

And then things got to where they are.

As a matter of fact, Disney is the most traditional and conservative company in Hollywood. The classic family values they uphold are important representatives of conservatism. Even in the distant future, they will still be so. The most typical example is: the six major film companies in Hollywood use female directors, Asian directors, American film directors, American film directors and American film directors In the case of minority groups such as black directors or gay directors leading big projects, the least company is Disney - before 2017, the number was zero.

Bob doesn't have any interest in creating a super heroine, but Catherine has her own consideration - can't insist, because she supports Bob's family concept to some extent, and later becomes Bob's best partner, but she still hopes to make some attempts.

"For your part, this is part of the reason, and part of the reason is that they want to add a variety of elements to the script, including black or Asian actors, more female roles, and so on, so as to make full use of the original background of star wars and keep up with the development of the times. It also means that they need to make adjustments to the characters, the direction of the story, the proportion of the characters and so on. "

Andy explained the second part of the reason, which let lanli suddenly realized, "big company, big crew."

"It's... A big company, a big crew." Andy also sighed, not to mention that it may take two to three months to revise the script. The time is not sure at all. Even after the revision is completed, it still needs to be reviewed by the senior management. If he is not satisfied, he has to revise the second draft and the third draft, which is even more troublesome.

"The latest news now is that the shooting time may be postponed to March or April next year. It is not certain for the time being. It must be decided according to the progress of the script." Andy gives the final conclusion.

Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth. "Not surprisingly, the script has been tossed around... Er, six months? Now I finally know how much trouble big production is. So, you called me today and asked me about my intention, which means that now I have other job offers? "
