Before officially returning to the studio, Lanly called Andy, and only then did he learn that Rooney had become the best actress in Cannes.

"Obviously I am out of society." Lan Li's smile was somewhat helpless and bitter.

Later, Lan Li informed Andy of his decision that he was not going to take over acting work-including David Fincher's "Mind Hunter" for a while, but was going to return to the studio, record the next album, and take over. Next, we will further prepare for the folk music festival and focus on music work in a short time.

Andy did not worry or object, instead he let out a long breath and agreed. At least, this is much better than being despondent at home without knowing the years; moreover, it is great news that Lanly can find enthusiasm in music, and everything else can be discussed slowly.

However, Lanly also understands David Fincher’s dilemma. In an interview in Cannes not long ago-one of his favorite directors is David Fincher. This is the truth; he sincerely hopes that this director will be able to To maintain his strong creative power, Lan Li nodded his head and agreed to the film producer, and Sisyphus Pictures officially began the production of this work.

For Sisyphus Films in the initial stage of development, both "Stranger Things" and "Running of the Night" are currently being produced, and the production of the third series has been started. It is actually very risky-no one knows about these two series. Whether the episode will succeed, no one is sure whether the "Mind Hunter" will succeed.

Lan Li "does not know" how to run the company, but only knows about artistic creation. A decision similar to a layman is likely to destroy Sisyphus Pictures.

But in fact, Andy nodded, and Andre and Arthur also nodded. The preparatory work of "Mind Hunter" finally started again after two years.

Part of the reason is Andre’s unconditional trust in Renly. He believes in Renly’s vision and judgment, and also believes in Renly’s rationality. Otherwise, with so many projects in Hollywood, it would be impossible for Renly to agree to every friend’s project. David Fincher, there must be a reason for Lan Li.

Another part of the reason is that the "female spies" made money.

Maybe it’s too early to say "make money" now. After all, the movie has just been released, and the premiere weekend did not show a "dark horse" style explosion, but the overall situation is very positive and optimistic——

The media review scores 75%, Rotten Tomatoes Freshness Index 95%, Popcorn Index 81%, and the theater score is as high as "A". All the data is very popular. For comedy movies, it can be described as It is a rare occasion. Although the popcorn index is slightly detrimental to the box office prospects, the overall word-of-mouth feedback is still very gratifying. In the absence of heavyweight movies before and after the summer, the prospects are generally optimistic. .

The box office of the premiere weekend was 29 million US dollars. There was no big explosion, but the performance was still good, basically the same as the performance of "Dragon and Tiger Boys", "Bad Belly", "Evil Boss", "Bridesmaids" and other recent years The performance of the good comedy works on the premiere weekend, coupled with the excellent word-of-mouth performance, the follow-up performance is indeed bright.

Of course, there are still uncertainties.

Compared with comedy movies, the production cost of 65 million US dollars is indeed slightly higher, which means that it is difficult to achieve profit through box office alone-the global box office needs at least 200 million or more, even if it is to achieve such a goal, The profit margin is relatively narrow, but this is acceptable.

As the first commercial film of Sisyphus Pictures, the loopholes in cost control are very obvious. As everyone said, Andre is a "rich young master" and a layman, without any understanding of the film production industry. With a stroke of the pen, he passed such a heavyweight project without considering the profit ratio at all. On the road of future development, Andre still has a lot to learn.

However, "female spies" still have the possibility of gains-the possibility is very high, coupled with the excellent reputation of the media, and even rave reviews, this also proves one thing again: Sisyphus Films is in the quality of finished products. The level has withstood the first test and continues the usual level.

For investors, this can undoubtedly increase their confidence, further expand investment, and add more bargaining chips to Sisyphus Pictures; for audiences, it can also increase their interest, even if there is no blue gift, Sisyphus The work of the film industry is also worth entering the cinema.

From this perspective, the "female spy" undoubtedly made a good start.

It is precisely because of this that Andre nodded very readily and agreed. The pre-operational procedures of "Mind Hunter" were officially launched, and Sisyphus Pictures' third TV series was officially put on the agenda.

When David Fincher learned about it, his first reaction was astonishment.

Although he used Andy to find Lan Li, his essence is to hope that Lan Li can promote the progress of the project; but he never thought that it was so simple, and the speed of the whole thing was hard to imagine——

He has long been accustomed to the long waiting time ranging from a month to half a year, and the end of the waiting may be a perfunctory answer. After all, the Hollywood production system is still profit-oriented, and it has already formed a set of its own systems, even if it is an assembly line operation, it is not that easy.

Now that Sisyphus Pictures has been promoted so easily and so simply, no matter what the reason, David must accept this love.

From "Blasting Drummer" and "Nightcrawler" to "Sin Night Run" to "Mind Hunter", Sisyphus Pictures is indeed following its own principles:

Really pay attention to those projects with ideas and creativity, get rid of the influence of Hollywood industry, and contribute a meager force to the independent art field. Although there are projects that conform to the mainstream such as "Female Spy" and "Stranger Things", they still can't change Sisyphus's persistence.

The Sundance veterans such as Robert Redford and the Cohen brothers have always emphasized that Renly is not Steven Spielberg — there is no commendatory or derogatory meaning. It just means that when DreamWorks was established, it was mixed. Too many interfering factors have caused the idea of ​​the three big brothers to fail in the end; and now Lanli is more pure and more focused, and Sisyphus Pictures may really be able to create miracles.

Now, David finally understands the meaning of this sentence-he can finally understand why even Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are willing to stand for Renley.

Maybe, he should tell David Lynch, let him try his luck with Lan Li?

David Lynch is almost in a state of leisure now. He has been trying to start the "Double Peaks" TV drama project, slowing down and slowing down the story that was not told in the past, but his thoughts It is incompatible with ideas and social networks that are increasingly fast-paced. How can a company be willing to invest?

Even cable TV stations like HBO seem to be at a loss.

Does this mean... there is still a glimmer of hope for the Hollywood film industry?

David Fincher didn't want to simply jump to the conclusion, otherwise the disappointment would only come faster and more fierce in the end, but...Len Li? Maybe it's worth watching.

Naturally, Lanly had no way of knowing David Fincher’s complex ideas, nor could he know that the "Mind Hunter" project had quietly moved a corner of Hollywood. Some changes happened quietly, and then, the wheel of history. Just move forward. After hanging up Andy's phone, Lan Li dialed Rooney's cell phone.

Rooney is also on vacation.

After leaving Cannes, Rooney took a train or bus all the way, slowly heading northward, and finally stopped in Copenhagen. Stay away from the hustle and bustle of the spotlight and the entanglement of work, so that you can relax and enjoy a rare moment of leisure.

Lan Li’s belated "blessing for the award" made Rooney laugh happily, "Dear Lan Li-Mr. Hall, I thought we didn’t care about it at all." When Lan Li won the Oscar at the beginning of the year. , Rooney didn't have any special blessings to express that everything couldn't be more normal.

Obviously, Rooney didn’t care. She was even more worried about Renly’s recent state. “Perhaps, you should divert your attention.” She thinks that Renly, Paul and Ryan will go to Tahiti for a surfing holiday together. Make the right choice and relax the whole person. Movies are not all of life.

Rooney is more in favor of Lan Li’s previous lifestyle. Between each work and each work~www.novelhall.com~ Lan Li often gives herself a long relaxing vacation, rock climbing, surfing, parachuting, hiking, etc.; but in recent years Since then, Lan Li’s work has become more and more busy, especially the founding of Sisyphus Pictures, which has taken up Lan Li’s leisure time. This has also made Lan Li more and more tight. Rooney still hopes that Lan Li will be able to do it again. Slow down.

For example, this time there is no need to rush back to New York.

When he learned that Lan Li was about to return to the studio, Rooney's tense nerves completely relaxed, "I will look forward to it."

Although this is also work, Lan Li's attention has been temporarily shifted. In a short period of time, he can leave the film environment, which helps to relax and also helps to think.

"You will record well in New York, and I will spend a good vacation in Northern Europe. After I go back, I will help you prepare for the folk music festival. I think this is a good plan." Rooney's voice revealed a little joy.

In this way, the studio life began.

At this time, four full years have passed since the release of "Don Quixote". It seemed that it was a matter of the previous life, and it was too far away.

Although I decided to invest in the recording of the second album immediately, I didn’t just roll up my sleeves and go straight to the battle. Before entering the studio, there are still very, very important tasks to be done:

Determine the keynote of the album and determine the concept of the album.

In fact, it is the creative concept. Only after integrating an artistic concept can we begin to organize the tracks. This is equivalent to the soul of the entire album, similar to the concept of "Don Quixote"; lack of soul, even if the entire album is recorded , That is just an ordinary saliva song, this is definitely not an album that Lan Li hopes to create.

There is a lot of preparatory work.
