Facing Barry, Lan Li could feel the pressure on his face, and he fell down, especially the sharp and fierce eyes, which truly showed the aura of the overlord of one party.
The expression didn’t seem to change, but the slightly condensed eyes brought tremendous pressure. It seemed that because of Lan Li’s straightforwardness and candor, Barry’s sensitive nerves were angered, and even his voice was slightly tense, "You know, about There is far more than one way to deal with scripts."
"For example, after signing a contract, discuss with the screenwriter and director to complete the script creation; another example, join the crew as a producer to obtain the right to review and modify the script. This is all possible." Barry said in a deep voice. Said, staring at Lan Li intently, and finally let out a cold snort, "It's not sensible to pose like this before shooting starts."
The aura of a superior person is fully revealed, but for Lan Li, this sense of oppression and influence is minimal.
In the upper class, he has long been accustomed to such a posture, and almost everyone can feel this pressure in his posture. Others don't say, George Hall and Elf Hall are like this.
Facing Barry's pressing harder, Lan Li not only did not get nervous, but sketched a smile, "Mr. Meyer, I know why I didn't appear in the sequel of'Speed and Excitement/Emotion'?"
Barry didn't like such a name.
"Mr. Meyer" is a respectful name, but when used in a special context, it has an ironic effect, like a throat. On the surface, Lan Li's manner is gentle and gentle, it seems that he has not improved his aura, and he just responds calmly, but the look between the eyebrows and the tone of the conversation have subtly reversed the momentum of the two sides.
"There are a lot of rumors in the industry, it shouldn't be a secret. Indeed, I finally refused the invitation to perform for the sequel because I was not satisfied with the pay." Lan Li's frankness made Barry's eyes reveal a deep meaning, "In fact , I don’t have much opinion on whether to appear in the sequel, and I didn’t participate in it. Everything is left to my agent."
What does it mean?
"As far as I am concerned, I am an actor, and I am just an actor; I don’t have much interest in the work of a producer. I have tried the work of a screenwriter, but apart from a mouth, it’s really hard for me. Contribute. I can concentrate on my work as an actor. This is what suits me best. So, without a script, I can't start my work, and naturally I can't make judgments."
Unhurried, unhurried, unhurried, like a spring breeze, Lan Li's speaking rhythm and rhythm present a gentle posture, with a smile on the corner of his mouth; but the position in the words is extremely firm, with indisputable determination and perseverance.
Barry frowned slightly, staring at Lan Li with scorching eyes. He didn't say a word, as if he didn't want to respond to Lan Li's speech at all, so he let the atmosphere stiffen little by little; and Lan Li did not show any weakness. , Did not continue to speak, and calmly met Barry's gaze, gradually and gradually embarrassed and jerky, but Lan Li was still content.
For a while, the two people seemed to be in a stalemate and refused to give in.
"Flap, pop." Barry raised his hands, patted his hands lightly, and clapped to indicate, breaking the silence, his expression revealed a faint smile, as if the ice and snow melted, and the whole atmosphere warmed up.
Shaking his head lightly, Barry's face reappeared with a smile, and he relied on it in one sentence, "A well-deserved reputation."
Before coming to London, Barry had heard about it. Renly was a hard bone to chew. He had no desires and no desires. All his attention was focused on the performance. It seemed to be all about the pay, the co-actors, and the box office dividends. There are not too many requirements.
Such an actor can be said to be the simplest. The film company does not need to divide the dividends and can fully maximize the benefits; but it is also the most complicated. The characters and scripts must be picky and picky. There is too much certainty.
At that time, Barry didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was just a smoke bomb created by the agent, creating an image of a European actor with a bad temper and establishing a professional actor's posture. After all, Lan Li is still too young, and there are very few young people who have such a clear goal.
But now, Barry finally has a real and direct experience.
Despite this, Barry still said, "You know what? Your handling is still too jerky and too sharp, and you will offend people if you are not careful."
"So, Universal Pictures doesn't talk to me now." Lan Li's self-ridicule made Barry stunned, then he slapped his thigh and laughed happily.
In the face of a high-ranking person like Barry Meyer, Barry will not sympathize or pity at all if he wants to be complacent and cringe. Instead, he has to take advantage of an inch and even turn around and forget, and he cannot leave anything in his mind Impression, because there are too many ordinary people like this; therefore, Lan Li must clearly state his position and show a tough posture.
However, what Barry said is reasonable. With such a high profile and strong collision, the results are often unpredictable.
As a result, Renly, Harvey Weinstein, and Universal Pictures were almost separated; and Woody Allen, Tony Kaye, Steven Spielberg and others, Renly But became friends with them.
After a little trial, Barry didn't continue to talk nonsense, and went straight to the subject. "Regarding the sequel, we have contacted the author of the original novel, hoping that he can create a second novel, and then our team will adapt the script. "
"For such a story from the mysterious East, we need to deal with it carefully. I heard that the core of the story is related to the reincarnation of the East. I don't quite understand it, but it is probably the butterfly effect and the time and space shuttle. A story like this can lead to a fiasco of word of mouth if you are not careful, and we have to be more cautious."
This time, Barry's words were not concise, and he gushed about the preparations for the sequel of "Edge of Tomorrow".
"Indeed, we want to make a sequel, and if possible, the trilogy is the best; however, we want to make a sequel that can really make money." Barry did not conceal his true purpose, so frankly. The posture was more convincing, which made Lan Li chuckle.
"If possible, I hope to maintain the entire cast and crew. From the conception stage, you and Paul will join the planning of the sequel, start brainstorming, collide different ideas and ideas together, and truly combine The story of William Cage continues." The focus and devotion between the words outlines a magnificent blueprint that demonstrates Barry's ambition.
Lan Li was slightly surprised, marveling at Barry's long-term vision and at the size of Barry's handwriting. These short sentences just now are definitely not as simple as the literal meaning. Sure enough, Barry's next words confirmed Lan Li's conjecture.
"Maybe, we can create a brand new series like the'Indiana Jones'." Barry said lightly, not a casual hit series, but a series that laid the Harrison-Ford box office superstar, and at the same time created a new series. The sequel to the brilliant film series. "How about, are you interested in becoming a new generation of Indiana Jones?"
An accident, an absolute accident.
Lan Li did not expect that the butterfly effect of "Edge of Tomorrow" would be so magnificent; nor did he expect that the ambition of Warner Bros. would be so great.
In the last life, the box office performance of "Edge of Tomorrow" did not meet expectations, but the excellent reputation and Tom Cruise's appeal still pushed the sequel on the agenda. However, until the rebirth of Lan Li, the sequel did not come out. , Has always been in a state of dystocia, and the quality of the sequel is naturally unknown.
This time, the box office performance of "Edge of Tomorrow" far exceeded expectations. Coupled with the outstanding reputation and the situation of Warner Bros., the weight and status of the sequel's works suddenly became unique.
If Lan Li participates in the production of the sequel, all of this will be unknown. Moreover, Lan Li will truly act as an actor and stand at the height of the producer, integrating his own artistic ideas and actor perceptions. Into the movie work.
Lan Li is not interested in the work of the producer, but standing at the height of the whole work, condescendingly examine the characters, and then reflect on the performance, this is another way to polish his acting skills.
This time the promise is not just one or two sequels, it can even be said to be a different plan for the career of Renly's actors.
Things are obviously not that simple. Even with Lan Li, his heart could not help but tremble slightly; but soon ~www.novelhall.com~ Lan Li calmed down and tried to suppress the excitement and excitement in his chest, "I'm not sure I Are you interested in becoming the next Indiana Jones, but I’m pretty sure, I’m very happy to participate in the idea of a sequel to “Edge of Tomorrow,” even if I’m not the leading actor.”
At this moment, things have gone beyond the scope of the actors’ work. With only personal judgment, Lan Li can’t see the overall picture clearly. He needs the help of professionals, such as Andy Rogers, Roy Lockley, and even Lydia. -Brooks, this is their profession, but also their strengths.
Although Lan Li did not directly nod his head impassionedly and enthusiastically, he still gave a positive and affirmative response.
For Barry, this is enough.
As the helm, all Barry needs to do is to present the blueprint for the sequel and to inquire about Renly's attitude, that's all; for follow-up matters, whether Barry or Renly, they will all get out and discuss with their team. After making a decision, the two parties met again to discuss interests and specific project matters.
Barry has completed half of the mission to London this time, and there is the other half left. It is not the distant future, but the present, which is close at hand, which is equally important.
