Lan Li was not surprised to see Paul Walker. What was surprised was how the two actors who were supposed to be working on the set would appear in Telluride.

"Good evening." Lanly held Paul's right hand, tilted his head, with an expression of exploration between his brows, "So, since then, have you been preparing for the filming of the movie?" Lanly was talking about the last encounter in the Verdon Gorge.

Paul’s smile bloomed brightly, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, “No, that’s just a hobby of my own. But if it can be helpful when shooting a movie, that’s naturally great.”

"Paul, do you know?" Fan was originally standing in front, but now he moved away. He patted Paul on the shoulder, looked back and forth between Lan Li and Andy, and finally fell on Lan Lan. Li's body is direct and frank, with a hint of condescending look and scrutiny between them. That kind of big star's posture was revealed inadvertently.

In contrast, Paul looks more like a surfer going in the wrong place.

"I met unexpectedly while climbing by hand in Europe before. He is a very good climber. I watched him climb to a height of fifty meters above the ground without the help of any equipment. God, that's just fascinating. Marvel." Paul introduced Fan with a smile full of smiles between his eyebrows. Then he turned his head again to look at Lan Li, "It's just that I didn't expect that the meeting again would be such an occasion, so you are the actor that everyone said?"

Lan Li showed a faint smile and chuckled, "Although I don't know whether the rumors are good or bad, I think, yes, I am the actor."

This ridiculous answer made everyone chuckle, "I can't tell, you are still a good rock climber, you don't look like a good sportsman at all." Fan spoke actively again, with a bright face on his face. A smile, white teeth with a conspicuous bald head, strong muscles that can’t be ignored from the outside of the line of sight, and a silly and honesty besides being full of scumbags. This is what distinguishes Fan from other action actors, which really wins him. A lot of audience favors.

But, there is always a lingering look in his eyes. The superiority deep in my heart was revealed inadvertently.

Lan Li's eyes flickered slightly, and a touch of play glided across. In this Vanity Fair in Hollywood, it’s the norm to step on the lows and feel good about yourself. Intrigue is everyday, not aimed at anyone, but just a habit in the bones; however, compared with the British aristocracy, this is like a child Our play house games are average.

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders lightly, and said lightly, "You don't look like an actor." A sentence instantly condensed the atmosphere. Lan Li could even clearly see the rigid and solid smile on Fan's face. , Rupture, as if the mask hidden on the cheek emerged. Such a scene, how interesting.

deliberately paused for half a second to let the embarrassment and tension spread, and then Lan Li went on to say, "You look more like a wrestler or a boxer. You know, Muhammad Ali."

The atmosphere immediately melted like ice and snow, and Fan's eyebrows could feel his joy and happiness-known as the greatest boxing champion in history, this praise naturally made him very happy, with a smile on his face. Got some shyness, "This is not the first time I have heard it."

"Are we going to continue to stand here, or is this place reserved for us?" Neil H-Moritz, who has been standing next to him without a word, and another big bald head, caught the time. , Like a hot table knife cut into the butter, and let everyone sit down.

Neil’s gaze paused meaningfully on Lanly. He originally thought it was just the usual one among the many auditions, but he did not expect to bring unexpected surprises.

In the short confrontation just now, Lan Li’s words have always maintained a gentle and humble tone, while also carrying a little relaxed humor. The calm tone cannot detect the slightest strangeness, let alone irony, even There is no sense of ridicule. Even so, the old fox, Neil, is not that easy to fool. He can smell the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, and in the blink of an eye, Fan has fallen out of favor.

This calmness, this tolerance, and this tenacity are enough to make Neil's eyes brighter. There are quite a few people who can suppress Fan in face-to-face contests of momentum, but the opponent is only a twenty-year-old. This is too rare for the new and tender newcomer actor; the wisdom revealed between gestures is also worth looking forward to.

What’s more surprising is that from the brief conversation between Lan Li and Paul just now, Lan Li is still a good rock climber. This also means that his motor nerves are good, and there shouldn’t be much problem even when shooting and playing. , Anyway, the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" series is not a fight-based work like "The Bourne Shadows", it's drag racing and explosions.

From this point of view, Lan Li possesses the courageous and strategic qualities, and can completely become the last link of the iron triangle as they expected, creating a wonderful "villain" role, even more than Dawn Johnson. Suitable.

If it hadn't been for Neil to know, the temporary change of angles was a last resort, and it was definitely an emergency. He would almost think that all of this was arranged in advance by Lan Li.

The crew of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" actually doesn't want to replace Dawn Johnson, but just wants to give Dawn a warning.

During the negotiation phase, Dawn opened his mouth to ask for a salary of 3.5 million US dollars, which is unacceptable. For the crew, they have a budget of 125 million U.S. dollars. Neal hopes to keep the actor’s budget below 30 million. Of course, the real budget can be raised to 40 million. In other words, It's not that they can't afford the 3.5 million, but the question is, is it worth it?

Fan is both an actor and a producer, divided into 15 million; Paul’s pay is 8 million, and neither of them participates in the box office dividends. The result is that the two people are fighting hard from the beginning of the series. The protagonist, after the third major exchange of blood, caused a fiasco at the box office. Universal Pictures paid a large price to bring the two people back. This was the success of the fourth part. Now this film remuneration figure is completely without any The problem can even be said to be of high quality and low price.

But what about Dawn? He only appeared in the series for the first time, and as the third protagonist, he was not as heavy as Fan and Paul. More importantly, the asking price for Dawn to star in a movie now fluctuates around four hundred. Now it costs 3.5 million to play the third protagonist, which is simply a lion's mouth.

Dawn clarified the weakness of the crew of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5"-although the action actors are not worth money, Hollywood has a fault of young action actors, and there is almost no choice to contend with Fan. Dawn is not the only choice, but the best choice. This is also the reason why Dawn is confident.

After several negotiations, Dawn had no intention to compromise at all. Even though the crew had already started filming, Dawn still refused to enter the crew. The subtext is: I can afford it, you can’t afford it. Dawn is now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, waiting for the crew to be uncomfortable, and then bowing his head to compromise.

The so-called pre-shooting is actually because "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" intends to complete the drag scene as much as possible with real shots. They need to investigate the situation at the scene, and professional doubles will test it first to find the most suitable shooting plan. , But for the smoothness of the formal shooting, the actors will also join the crew to ensure the smooth progress of all links.

With a size and weight like Dawn, it is difficult to find exactly the same even with a substitute. Dawn was absent from the early filming, which really laid a lot of mines for the crew.

More importantly, after the start of the pre-shooting, the cost of the crew began to be spent like flowing water. The renting of the venue requires money, the rental of equipment requires money, the crew requires money, and they burn money almost every day. Dawn drags on for a day, and the crew loses a day. The crew really can't afford to wait.

Every Hollywood project is a game, a game of competing for benefits, and there will always be someone who has to give in, otherwise it will fall apart. In a rage, Neil suspended the early filming of the crew and brought the two leading actors to Telluride. On the surface, he was looking for suitable actors to participate in the film festival.

This is an open and equal stage~www.novelhall.com~Any newcomer actor can talk directly with big-name directors and big-name producers. All performance opportunities are fully open, plus it’s not far from Los Angeles. , So countless actors have gathered in Telluride, not to mention those big-name agents. At this point in time, Telluride is better looking for actors than Los Angeles.

However, Neal also understands deep down that it is almost impossible to find a replacement actor for Dawn. Unless the role setting is changed, it also means that the script needs to be revised. The scriptwriter rewrites the script and adjusts the script as well. There is a charge, and the setting data of the previous shooting also needs to be adjusted. Not to mention the workload, the cost is overwhelming.

So, in this trip, Neal is showing Dawn their tough stance: no one is irreplaceable, even Dawn. But after meeting Lan Li today, Neil couldn't help but think: How much work does it take to completely replace the role of Hobbes from style to setting to actor?

However, this is just an interview. Today's audition has just begun.

Neil immediately suppressed this idea, signaled everyone to take a seat, and looked at Lan Li in a concealed way, and paused for a moment, but in this short moment, Lan Li raised his sight and confronted him calmly. Instead, Neil was taken aback.

immediately saw Lan Li smile indifferently, as if he hadn't noticed his gaze, just inadvertently crossing his eyes, and politely nodded at Neal.

Neil's smile also rose, and he nodded in response. Today’s audition is getting more and more interesting.
