Chapter 2117

As Andy said, no one can refuse lenley.

Even if the director or producer was not interested in him, as long as he saw the role, he would fight for it with all his strength. If he still failed to reach cooperation after all his strength, then he could let go without regret. At least he tried. But for now, there is no record of failure.

Augus... Didn't immediately nod his head, but he didn't completely refuse. He is a persistent director, and his obstinacy is no less than that of Langley; But even so, he has to admit that Langley's thinking about the role has indeed brought him a lot of inspiration, and shows his unique quality as an actor.

In that meeting, from the beginning to the end, Langley did not mention "I am the most suitable actor for the role", "I sincerely hope to be able to play in this work", nor did he refute the reasons why oggs refused Andy. Instead, he sincerely and attentively exchanged his views on the script and the role, and the whole professional attitude impressed him.

After the meeting, it's not hard to find out that Langley doesn't need to refute at all. The reasons he used to refuse Andy are actually his presupposition of David's role. But if this presupposition is incomplete or even wrong, can he still refuse Langley?

For the time being, Argus doesn't know the answer.

He needs a little time, some time to revise the script, some time to re conceive, some time to confirm the main line and highlight the core, some time to rebuild, polish and repair, just like Langley's saying, "you have to find out what emotion you want the audience to feel, hope or despair, after the movie is over.".

He needs time.

What's more, even though Augus has now determined his idea and sincerely hopes to join lenley, they still have many problems to face

Apart from schedule, CO actors, producer power and so on, pay is a very intuitive focus.

According to the original plan, Jason Clark will be paid only $300000 to play the leading actor. Now, all the substitutes that oggs is thinking about are paid less than $200000 - Rachel Weitz, Ben westshaw, Leia Saidu and other actors are regular independent movie goers. Although they are famous, they are of good quality and low price; As for Langley, he is not sure.

Of course, there are a lot of rumors about lanli in the industry, and lanli has indeed acted in many independent art films, and the film payment is never a problem; But it must be noted that all these things happened before 2014!

At the beginning of this year, "grand theft one" and "Jurassic world" signed contracts with lanli successively, and successively set a new film payment benchmark in the industry, which also made lanli really become the first person in the industry; Now, if "lobster" is Lan Li's first literary work after that, how should the film pay start?

A million dollars?

That sounds a bit off the mark. But if it is higher, oggs is not willing to, because the investment of the whole film is only 4 million euros, of which a quarter is used to pay for the actors, the staff behind the scenes of the cast, the costs of the Dragon performers, and so on. He really does not have much left for Langley.

In a sense, Argus really dislikes Langley.

All in all, the cooperation between lanli and "lobster" has not been decided yet. In the next period of time, we still need to further consider and find a suitable solution.

Whether it's the original plan of "grand theft one" or the new plan of "lobster", they can't start in October. October is originally lanli's short holiday.

Lenley first returned to New York and appeared at the New York Film Festival; Then I went to mount Sinai Hospital and saw Anne silyman and other little guys again; He then followed the heather cross foundation to several hospitals to visit children who were seriously ill.

In addition, Langley went to Banff National Park in Canada, where he spent a week camping, hiking, rock climbing and so on. He really stayed away from the noise of the city, let his mood settle down, and put everything behind him for the time being, including "lobster", performances and London. All of them were left behind in the traffic of the city, Simply enjoy the good time between yourself and nature.

If it wasn't for the coming of work, lanli would be very happy to stay in the National Park for a while. In the golden autumn and October, it was the most gorgeous and charming time for the red maple in Canada. Walking through it, it was like wandering in an oil painting. It was so beautiful that people couldn't miss Shu.

Red, yellow and green are all mixed together. They are gorgeous and widely spread in every corner of the line of sight. Then they are spread out in a magnificent way, just like the flames are blooming all over the mountains. Then the gray, black, cyan and blue are bright little by little. The whole world is reminiscent of the overturned pigment plate, But he painted out a masterpiece which can not be replaced. Who can refuse it?

If you can, lanli is willing to disappear here for a month, really open his arms, embrace nature and enjoy life; But unfortunately, Langley still has to go back to the city, because Thanksgiving is coming, and the premiere of "super Marines" is calling.

After the end of the summer season, the North American market has entered the coldest autumn season of the year, but obviously, this year's season is slightly abnormal.

There are a number of large-scale productions in Waterloo in summer, and the overall performance of the market is still slightly lower than expected; However, in autumn, there were many works on topics, and the box office level and discussion heat of the whole period all reached a new high, which shocked North America.

First of all, another work in the upsurge of teen-agers' adaptation of novels, "mobile labyrinth", with dylan-o'briin as the leading actor, who became famous by virtue of the TV series "little wolf", accidentally detonated the big screen. Although the media reputation is only hovering on the edge of passing, the box office data is very good

Premiere weekend with 32 million U.S. dollars easily topped the cumulative box office has reached 98 million, about to break billion. For the youth films with investment cost of only 34 million yuan and without any famous stars, the results are really good; At the same time, there has been a lot of discussion on social networks, and many actors with child star background have become the hot focus again - don't forget, it's still a cold autumn show.

Then Denzel - Washington starred in the middleweight action movie "Avenger" not a small explosion, the box office data compared to the autumn file is also a small surprise; But the real focus is on Halloween.

"The lost lover", directed by David Finch and starring Ben Affleck, is both popular at word-of-mouth and box office. With the unparalleled heat of discussion on the social network, the overall box office performance easily exceeds that of "social network", "Benjamin Button" and "the girl with the Dragon Tattoo". It won the championship at the premiere weekend, In just five weeks, David's hit $137 million, making it the highest box office hit of his career.

More importantly, this work has already entered the field of vision of the award season.

"Annabel", the film's "evocation" series, also performed well. The premiere weekend was inextricably linked with "the lost lover". In the end, it fell behind by less than US $400000 and ranked second. Although the follow-up trend was still the same as that of horror films, it failed to keep up with the pace of "the lost lover", but up to now, it has a revenue of US $8000, Compared with the ultra-low production cost of 6.5 million US dollars, it has realized profit.

What's more, the box office performance of overseas markets is also very gratifying.

Then, the low-cost action movie "fast chase" accidentally set off a public praise in the media. Last year, Keanu Reeves, who lost money to vomit blood in two works of "Taiji man" and "47 ronin", was basically considered to have ruined his career as an actor, and played in the work at a very low salary——

Because one of the two directors, Chad stahelski, was a stand in actor for Keanu as early as the "speed of life and death" period, and he had a good relationship; Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a turning point in Keanu's career. After the word-of-mouth boom, the box office also gave a little surprise.

In autumn, which was once deserted to no one's attention, although it is still time to fight the streets, the "first year of Dracula" invested by universal pictures with 70 million US dollars is still in a mess, and the "judge father" starring Robert Downey Jr. is also in a mess; This year, however, there have been a number of works that have aroused discussion. It's really rare that September and October present a completely different picture.

Undoubtedly, last year's "gravity" was the key to turning the whole situation around, and now Hollywood studios are starting to develop more schedule effects throughout the year.

However, in the last week of October, the market is still relatively cold. The "death divination" of the next week's release has won the championship at the weekend box office with $10 million. The cumulative box office in the two weeks of release is 34 million. Compared with the investment of $5 million, it can also be regarded as a small profit - making Universal Pictures reduce some losses.

In addition to "death divination", the newly released works "before I go to sleep" and "the 10th anniversary of the electric saw" are all on the streets. The former is led by Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and mark strong; The latter is a special screening held on the 10th anniversary of the release of "electric saw" and all seven series of films are shown again for one week. Unfortunately, the market has not been able to give enough response.

The whole market seems to have returned to the normal rhythm of the autumn stalls. This is all for a reason. Next week, the North American market will usher in the first blockbuster work of the holiday season, "super marine", which will not only announce the holiday program, but also mark the end of the autumn program——

The "super Marines", whose investment cost is as high as 165 million yuan, is undoubtedly the seed player for Disney to dominate the family box office market at the end of each year, and other films are retreating.
