Chapter 2365

Looking at Andy's helpless look, lanli's lazy eyebrows gradually spread out, "this should be the second time?"

Andy is puzzled to meet the blue Li's line of sight.

"The second time you've shown enthusiasm for a work other than that of an agent." Lanli's voice was light. "The last time was star wars, so what's the reason for this one?"

Andy immediately tasted the banter in lanli's words, which made him feel at ease. This is the familiar lanli. He put his hands on his chubby beer belly and patted gently, "if I say, it's because I'm not satisfied with the current situation of the film industry. A good director like David should get more opportunities, do you believe it?"

"Oh? What changed your mind? " Andy did not ask for the words, but instead asked him to make complaints about the words of Andy.

Once upon a time, Andy was also a loyal supporter of commercial films. His love of "Star Wars" far exceeded his appreciation of George Lucas. That's why when Disney acquired Lucas pictures, Andy was more happy than worried, but now it has changed.

"Don Quixote channel." Andy rarely shows sincerity - as an agent, telling lies is a basic skill, and he is also very good at it; But in front of lanli, Andy is getting used to the real appearance after taking off the mask. He can breathe the fresh air, and then remind that the most real self is still not disappeared.

"I can't help thinking, what would happen if the Star Wars series were taken over by Sisyphus pictures? What if Don Quixote made a series of star wars, such as the story of grand theft one? Can we really see the space world created by George Lucas, just like interstellar exploration, wandering freely in the whole universe

From Andy's words, we can feel that for what happened to the "grand theft one" crew, he stood in the same line with Langley; In the past, he must be on Catherine Kennedy's side, which is the rule he must adhere to as a broker, and interest is the highest goal.

"I don't like 'social network' or 'fight club', and I don't like David Finch, but I know that David Finch, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas... Including directors like James Cameron, they make movies have more multi-dimensional possibilities."

"Without their creativity and ideas, the fun of the big screen will gradually disappear. In the beginning, without imagination and creativity, there would be no such works as star wars or Jurassic Park. I have to admit that artistic creation needs creativity after all. "

Andy's perspective of interpretation is not new, but he has his own perception -- from the standpoint of a commercial film, or even a series of film lovers, to pry into the overall situation of artistic creation. It can be said that if we do not respect creativity and novelty, then the marvel series will lose their soul, and ultimately only the popcorn carefully packaged by Disney will be left, and those superheroes will lose their original vitality.

This view is not entirely correct, but it is indeed an interpretation.

Lanli turned to look at Rooney and said seriously, "you see, even Andy's artistic understanding has reached such a high level. Are you sure you don't need to change it?"

"Hey, I don't have a problem with commercial films. I just have a problem with the production mode of commercial films. They shouldn't erase the personal characteristics of actors. Otherwise, what's the difference between me and other actors? Otherwise, why did they choose me over other actors? They need a Barbie doll. I believe they can find more than one in Hollywood. They don't need me to join in, do they? "

Lu Ni glared at Lan Li fiercely, and hit back without showing weakness. The sharp counterattack firmly expressed her position.

Andy has some silly eyes.

Blue Li is still smiling, "you said, I agree with all. The only opinion is that the forms of expression and focus of commercial films and art films are different, and the way of performance should also be changed, just as the way of performance of comedy and tragedy should produce different resonance according to different scripts and roles. I think you should give commercial films another chance to see what happens. "

Last evening, lanli and Rooney talked about the shooting of commercial films. Both "Star Trek" and "grand theft one" were faced with the interference of off-site factors. While Rooney also encountered similar problems in the process of shooting "little flying man: dreamset sail", including that the director Joe Wright was also bound.

Rooney's rejection of commercial films is inevitable, while Langley insists that commercial films still have more potential.

"Then we have to choose between marvel and DC, right?" Rooney responded in a sarcastic way, with a funny look in her eyes. She seemed to be saying: Well, how would you choose?

Indeed, there are fewer and fewer options for large screen commercial films, which is also the reason why David finch is in trouble. It is also the foundation of these discussions. All these have become the most powerful arguments in support of Rooney's point of view.

Lenley didn't mind at all, but said seriously, "that's why we started Sisyphus pictures."

"So, you mean, would you like to see David's project?" Said Rooney, pushing the boat along.

"Are you sure David didn't ask for your help

"Ha ha." Rooney burst into laughter.

Lanli's eyes turned to Andy again. He could detect the expectation in Andy's eyes. "Do you think I should give David a chance?"

"You've given David a chance. Sisyphus pictures is talking with David about the cooperation of this work, but you took the lead in choosing the other two works. Now the key is whether you should make the plan ahead of time. " Andy slightly corrected Langley's words, "if you nod, then Andre will certainly not refuse."

According to the plan, Sisyphus pictures will take the lead in shooting "Strange Tales" and "running in the night of sin". After shooting, they will collect some money and then invest in shooting the other two series. At present, it is likely to be "big and small lies" and "soul Hunter".

But the situation in Hollywood continues to change every day. David finch can't wait for Sisyphus film to make a promise. He must also look for an outlet, hoping to open up a situation for his career. Maybe before Sisyphus film is ready, "mind Hunter" will find other partners.

According to the development of the last life, the "mind Hunter" should finally stay in Nafei.

As a matter of fact, the earliest project of "soul Hunter" was set up in 2010. David Finch, together with Charlize Theron, acted as the producer and cooperated with HBO TV station to develop this series. Charlize will play the leading role in the series. They even hired a screenwriter to write a pilot series, but the cooperation failed to go on and was forced to shelve; A year later, HBO tried to restart and set up a creative team. Unfortunately, in the end, HBO lacked confidence and dissolved the whole team again. Then the project was frozen.

Last year, David finch once again took the project to Netflix and Sisyphus respectively. The former has just completed the "house of cards" with David and achieved great success; The latter is led by Langley, which has a unique attraction to independent films and art films. But the results are still unsatisfactory.

Netflix is very hesitant to produce such a slow-paced and cold drama, which can't attract more paid subscribers, which doesn't help their expansion plan much; On the other hand, Sisyphus film is relatively positive and actively expresses its willingness to cooperate, but the priority level is slightly behind, and the reason is still the "rate of return"——

There's no way. Sisyphus pictures has just been established. They need to see the profits quickly so that they can continue to operate in a virtuous circle. Without the backing of Wall Street capital, they have limited choices.

Business, business after all.

David also understands this, so he has no way to urge Naifei or Sisyphus, but through Andy to find Langley, hoping to make a breakthrough from Langley.

Even if Langley does not act as an actor in the series, but as a producer, it is enough. Sisyphus pictures would like to give the green light for blue.

If it was in the past, lanli would not hesitate to nod and agree, and excitedly put himself into this work. This should be a new choice, even more worthy of expectation than "pop drummer". He would choose a role full of infinite possibilities again after a long time's absence.

But now, Lan Li seems to be in a slump. Knowing that this is a work worthy of excitement, my heart is calm.

He is not used to and does not like himself like this.

"I don't like the feeling that he has the power to kill people in his life," he said

For many people, what he pursues in his whole life is to stand at the top of the pyramid, and then, like God, turn his hands over to cloud and rain. One word can decide the life and death of others. That kind of supreme power is enough to make countless people follow.

But Langley didn't like it. Because deciding the life and death of others means taking too much responsibility.

As far as the "soul Hunter" project is concerned, as long as Langley nods, it can solve the work needs of at least 300 people, and at the same time, it can also help artists like David finch find hope and motivation.

But... This is the original intention of Langley's attempt to create Don Quixote channel at the Sundance Film Festival last year: he hopes to make full use of his influence to create more space and environment for the artistic creation of independent films, which is a step enough to affect the whole industry.

Leverage history, then the weight of nature is not small.

"To what extent has David written his plays? I remember last year, it was just a project plan, and the specific script had not been created, right? "
