Lan Li pushed the door and walked in. Andy and Rodriguez sitting in the hall came into view. He waved his hand and said hello, "Good evening." Then he didn't intend to stay, and pointed to the person in the room. Direction, "I'm a little tired, go take a shower first, and then rest first."

Three black lines appeared on Andy's forehead and he shouted, "Lenly, wait, don't you wonder why Rodriguez appeared here? We are in your room, not mine."

"Oh." Lan Li reacted at this time, and gently closed his jaw, "Are you discussing work?" The ending sounded up, and then continued, "Then you guys keep busy. After discussing the results, tell me. It's okay."

In matters other than performance, Lan Li really doesn't care at all. The lightness of his body really makes Andy laugh and cry, "Lan Li, you can give us some advice. The matter is about you."

According to Andy's prediction, "Buried alive" wants to make a **** road during the awards season. It is indeed difficult. The main reason is that the layout is too small and the theme is too blunt. The biggest hope is Lan Li. Such thinking is definitely not because he is Renly's agent.

Lan Li stood there and hesitated for a moment, then walked over, patted Rodriguez on the shoulder, and then sat down in the solo sand next to him.

These three days of continuous news bombardment were even harder than the shooting of "buried alive"; and he is now out, and the audience of the film festival 66 continue to recognize him, which makes travel troublesome. , Those fanatical fans always screamed in surprise, coming from time to time, the eardrums and nerves have undergone severe tests, which is why he chose to go for a walk at night. In fact, Lanly is very tired now, and the only thought is: When will the Toronto Film Festival end?

Sitting on the sand, Lan Li still maintained his etiquette. The strict aristocratic education in this life is still deep in his bones. The etiquette of basic postures such as standing, sitting, walking, dining and greeting is deeply imprinted in every cell. . The only time he can relax is to sleep, which is why he is so keen on sleeping.

"Several companies have put forward offers to Rodriguez and are willing to be responsible for the'buried alive' North America trip." Andy completed the summary in the simplest sentence, Lan Li nodded to express his understanding, and Andy continued, "I I personally think that Lionsgate is a good choice. So far, I haven’t heard that they have made too many moves during this year’s awards season. Paul Haggis (pau1-haggis) and Russell-Crow (Russe11-croe) are cooperating. The "Three Days in Crisis" is their self-produced and self-sold work, and it is currently the only highlight."

Both of these are Oscar winners, so they should not be underestimated.

"This work is scheduled for November, and the quality is unknown. If the harvest is positive, then Lionsgate's resources are tilted towards the'Three Days of Crisis', which is beyond doubt." Andy's brain Getting up and running, in just a few minutes after Rodrigue told him the news, the plan in his mind has been drawn up. "But objectively speaking, Lionsgate is a horror movie producer. How to operate'buried alive' must have more skilled experience, at least in terms of box office, they are trustworthy."

Having said that, Andy paused for a moment, looked at Rodriguez, who was in deep thought, and then at the calm and breezy Lan Li. After confirming that neither of them had any intention to speak, he continued, "However, Their disadvantages are also obvious. They are still new players in Hollywood. Before that, only one "True" reached the final stage of the awards season."

"Treasure" was the winner of the People's Choice Award at last year's Toronto Film Festival. In the end, he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Rodriguez raised his head with an eager expression on his face. It can be seen that Lionsgate is very much in line with his psychological expectations. However, Andy raised his hand to stop Rodriguez’s intention to speak, and then said, “On the other hand, with Focus Pictures, their academy public relations strength is beyond doubt. Every year they will screen a large wave of potential works, accompanied by awards. The season advances, one by one is discarded, and finally the seeded players are selected to concentrate their firepower on public relations operations."

"So, their advantages and disadvantages are very clear, the resources are abundant, and the competition is fierce enough." Andy could see Rodrigue frowning suspiciously, but he said dissatisfiedly, "but with Fox Searchlight In comparison, Focus Films encountered a little problem this year. The "Americans" they had high hopes for, the word-of-mouth smashed; after "somewhere" boarded 6 Venice, the response was far lower than expected. The awards season has not yet come. When the curtain opens, two generals have already been lost. That's why they will find you."

"The American" is starred by George Clooney. In the past three years, two Oscar winners have been mentioned, and the momentum is very fast; "Somewhere" is Sofia Coppola (sofia-coppo1a) after the fiasco of Cleopatra. The works released again after four years have attracted much attention.

Focus Pictures has great confidence in these two works, but the results are not satisfactory, which also disrupted their initial layout. As Andy said, otherwise "buried alive" would be difficult to enter the focus of the attention of the film industry.

"Of course, Toronto is not over yet, and there is still time for Focus Films. However, as far as I know, they only have one "The kids are very good"." Andy said confidently, "Of course, now the awards season It hasn’t started yet, and there will be many changes in the next two months and three months. Focus Pictures will definitely not stop at it. In this regard, they are much more likely than Lionsgate, but I think ..."

Andy noticed Lan Li's probing gaze, and it had been a while, and stayed on his face scorchingly. He couldn't help but stop, turned his head and looked over, and asked with a smile, "Why, what's wrong? "

Lan Li pursed his mouth and shook his head with a chuckle, "I thought you had been on vacation for the past two days. But obviously, I don't know anything."

When Andy spoke, it seemed that it was just some delicate and subtle things, but Lanly could hear that these news were only obtained after a lot of investigation and inquiries, and they may even need to mobilize contacts for information exchange. The urgency is changing rapidly. The situation is definitely not as understatement as Andy said.

Lan Li also realized that his previous understanding of the agent was still somewhat biased. Before the Emmy Awards, he had not looked for an agent, it seems that he thought things too simple.

"I think that since Focus Pictures has noticed us, it shows that we have been recognized." Andy concluded, "At this point, Focus Pictures is more reliable and more valuable than Lionsgate. "

The big players in the industry like Focus Pictures need to consider the overall situation in every decision. What works impact the best film, what works impact the individual awards, what types can be selected, and what types should be avoided. These are all strategies. Rather than being like a small company, seeing a work that is not bad, attack directly, and once it is taken, it will start running smoothly.

"Len Li, what do you think?" After expressing his views, Andy threw the question to Lan Li.

It's not that Lan Li can give any professional advice. First, because the crew of "Buried Alive" is too small, there are only a few people in total. Rodriguez is also willing to listen to Lan Li's opinions; second, because "Buried Alive" The quality of the finished product is still not enough. If nothing else, the best actor award is their only hope. Therefore, Andy hopes that Lan Li can join the discussion.

Lan Li shrugged, didn't think deeply, didn't hesitate, and said simply, "I will choose Focus Films."

Andy glanced at Lan Li, his smile fell deep in his eyes, "You don't want to express your opinion, just pick one?"

Lan Li seemed to have been said to have been on his mind, and his smile rose from the corner of his mouth, spreading his hands, "Then what answer do you expect me to give? Senior professional advice? I thought it was your job, or Luo Drigg’s."

Objectively speaking, Lan Li does not know much about business, propaganda, and public relations. Even if he is a human being in two lives, he has no understanding in the previous life. These are the contents of professional work. The outsiders give opinions indiscriminately. make trouble.

This situation is not uncommon in the film industry. The most famous is Warner Bros’s operation of dc comics, both "Batman vs. Man" and "Suicide Squad". The leaders are arguing about the post-production of the film and think it is enough. Professional, but undermined the original intention of the creator, the quality of the finished product plummeted, which made people disappointed.

Despite this, Lanly joined the discussion, “As far as I am concerned, the internal competition of Focus Films is indeed fierce, but their publicity system and public relations structure are also more complete~www.novelhall.com~ I think yours The focus is deviated, and there are too high expectations for'buried alive'; I think that the film can win a place in the awards season, that would be great, but without it, it would not be the end of the world. What the film has gained so far The praise is already a huge affirmation."

Lan Li's mentality has been maintained very well, because he is focused enough and pure enough, all his attention is on performance, and other matters are second to none.

"What's more, if Focus Films chooses to abandon'buried alive' during the competition, does that mean that in the awards season competition, we may not be able to bite to the end? Even if it is replaced by Lionsgate The same is true for the industry?" Lan Li’s two rhetorical questions made Andy and Rodrigue fall into thinking, but he stood up directly, "Okay, you can continue to discuss slowly, the rest of the professional part, I There are not many opinions that can be given, so I am going to rest."

After finishing speaking, Lan Li stood up and left unrestrainedly.

Andy and Rodriguez were still sitting together, and the living room was quiet again. After a short while, Rodriguez asked tentatively, "Or, I'll ask Focus Pictures for the offer?"

"Good." Andy replied cleanly.
