There is no doubt that with his current reputation and status, lanli will never lack the invitation to play in his works. Even if his schedule is full, the invitation is still coming to the door. There is no 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. Now, we are looking forward to the works projects that lanli will join in, which have truly reached the "endless stream" and "countless", Andy Rogers' working hours are always full.
From "Jurassic world" to "grand theft one", after lenley opened the commercial movie performance intention, and expressed his comedy performance intention in many public occasions, the types of works invited by the door are more and more wide, and all kinds of movie invitation are crowded with Andy's mailbox.
To be honest, among the numerous works, Andy chose "lobster", which is undoubtedly very interesting. Especially if the original actor was Jason Clark.
Andy has no way to know that Colin Farrell was finally chosen by the lobster in the last life. He is the same type of actor as Jason Clark, which means that Argus tends to use tough guys to play the role. The consideration is unknown, but it's really interesting to put it in the background of the lobster story; Now, Andy takes the initiative to fight for the chance to perform for Langley. So, why is that?
"Jason Clark?" Lan Li slightly raised the ending, showing the confusion.
Andy misunderstood Langley's meaning and nodded in affirmation. "Yes, I didn't understand the reason why Argus chose Jason Clark, but I didn't understand the reason why Jason Clark refused. The news I heard was that Jason had already nodded his head and agreed to play. Later, he received an invitation from the terminator to restart the project. So, he refused Augus and chose the terminator. It was so simple. "
Terminator restart project? Is it Terminator: genesis?
"Sorry choice." Lan Li said that he was holding hands. From here we can see the interaction effect between agents and actors
One is "lobster" and the other is "Terminator: Genesis". The former is a brand-new attempt of European art directors, while the latter is the restart of traditional action series films. These are two completely different projects. Although the final decision must be made by the actors themselves, the project recommendation is completed by the agents, naturally, It can also be seen that the tendency of agents is that they have ideas for art films and ultimately choose commercial films. The persuading and persuasion of agents is an important reference for actors. There are few actors who have absolute initiative, such as lanli.
Andy explained why Jason quit, but still didn't answer Langley's curiosity. "I mean, Jason and I are different types of actors. Why did you choose this work? I don't think I fit in with the idea of the role and the actor
"Ha ha." Andy laughed directly. "First of all, Langley, when did you become so modest? If you are interested in this work, whether the director likes it or not, you will take the initiative to fight for it. After fighting for it, whether you accept or reject it, you can accept the final result; Secondly, I think that you are also a tough actor, even more suitable than Jason, because you have no framework constraints and can show countless possibilities. Don't forget, "speed and passion 5" and "tomorrow's edge" are the best proof that you can also become an excellent action actor. "
Lanli also laughed with Andy, "I can't refute, but now my problem is, your choice is not mine."
It's no surprise that lanli chooses "lobster", because lanli is always eager to challenge some novel characters and break his own performance boundaries. The "lobster" with the sword and the edge is a style that lanli has never tried so far, which is bound to be a very interesting thing.
The premise is that Langley is an actor.
But if Andy is an agent, it's worth exploring: does it mean that Andy's thinking mode is being assimilated by Langley?
Andy immediately understood the meaning of Langley's words, but instead of answering honestly, he asked, "don't you like it? My job is to pick out a work you like and meet your needs. "
"No, your job is to choose a suitable work, or a work that we are all satisfied with, to make my acting career shine more brilliantly. There is a difference. " Langley gave a serious rebuttal.
"So, you mean, you don't like it?" Andy still didn't answer Langley's question.
Lan Li chuckled. "Now the problem is, I like it."
The simple words seemed meaningful. Andy was defeated after all. "Because it's a black comedy, I think you can make some challenges again."
"That's it?" It's simpler than I thought. Lanli thought there was a complicated story behind it.
"Yes, that's it." Andy said dryly, "you've always wanted to play a comedy. Although there are a lot of comedies every year, I can't make you self destruct, can I? Even if you don't mind, the audience won't buy it. "
With a glib tongue, make complaints about Daniel and Lewis, or even let Meryl Streep become a shining idol star. Similarly, let lanli regardless of the image to show off the vulgar, even if the performance is lifelike, also can not play the real charm of lanli, then it is the failure of the casting.
"Lobster has not been able to start shooting because of a series of problems. When I got the news, I thought that you should like this work very much. It's comedy, but it has black humor. The whole performance style is more introverted, showing a delicate performance state. It's very suitable for you. I think you should be able to play it, So I took the initiative to contact Argus and started a simple discussion. I think this should be an interesting project. " Andy concludes.
After a short pause, Andy didn't hear the voice from the other end of the phone. He raised his eyebrows and said, "blue Li?" Because Lan Li is not so impolite, he can't interrupt the conversation without any reason. There must be some reasons: for example, falling into a state of thinking?
"Oh, sorry, I'm just recalling the script and the characters, but the memory is a little fuzzy." Lan Li's smile rose gently from the corner of his mouth.
Andy has never forgotten his insistence, which is a good thing. Their cooperation has become more and more harmonious.
"I read so many scripts at that time that I couldn't remember them in the end." "But I'm really interested. I just thought that maybe he wouldn't agree with me." Because Langley knew that Eugene later chose Colin Farrell.
"We haven't talked about that yet." Andy explains, "remember my first question? If you want to have a good rest, we will refuse. There are always opportunities; If you're willing to put in another production in November or December, I'll discuss it with Eugene. This is only the stage of preliminary exchange of views“
Andy's intimacy made Langley laugh happily, but he gave a positive answer like that. Instead, he looked left and said, "do you know what I've been doing in London recently?"
"Let me guess, west side?" Andy gives the answer. It's not an eternal problem.
Lanli was more and more happy. "I recently watched some plays, and then met several directors and producers. You know, the atmosphere in the west side is really a paradise for actors. There are plays on every day, creative collisions every day, and constant progress every day. Performance here is a wonderful thing, whether as an audience or as a creator, It's an intoxicating place. "
With that, Lan Li could not help sitting up a little. "I thought, maybe I should take some time again to finish a year's performance on the theater stage, not for breakthrough or challenge, but simply to enjoy the performance. How wonderful it would be. Now I finally understand what the actors think. Standing on the stage, that's happiness. "
It's customary for British actors to return to the west end every so often. Lanli had never questioned it before, but he couldn't really understand the reason, but now he understands that performance is not only a challenge, but also a pleasure.
Andy can feel the cheerfulness of Langley and can't help laughing.
"And then," Langley said eagerly, "last night, I had a discussion with Rooney about acting in the show. Although we all say that TV series rely more on the screenwriter, and the space for actors to play is relatively small, do you still remember? I picked out those scripts at the beginning of the year. Now there are more and more wonderful plays. The creative content allowed by TV series is gradually surpassing that of movies, and the boundary that actors can explore is becoming wider and wider. This is a very interesting thing. "
"Compared with movies, TV plays have a longer context and larger capacity. They allow actors to perform in a chain like area and shape their characters. Just like the original" Pacific War ", they put forward higher requirements for the integration of actors and scripts. I think this is worth studying in detail. Of course, I'm talking about short plays or limited plays, and those long plays are another story. " Lan Li couldn't help laughing, and his words revealed lightness.
Andy can also feel the happiness from the inside out.
"So, I mean, if I have a chance, I'd like to play in a drama or TV series, and so do movies. So far this year, I've been resting most of the time, just shooting a "Jurassic world". If there are other acting opportunities, I'd be happy to let it go. " Lenley finally gave the answer.
Andy pursed the corners of his mouth and chuckled happily: such an answer is not unexpected. Lanli is still the lanli and has never changed. "OK, I know. I'll get in touch with Eugene. Let me know the follow-up. Let's talk about what happens. Before the news comes out, enjoy the short holiday
