Andy's gaffes are indeed not very common, but anyone with a discerning eye can find that this is not the first time in the past six months.

The smile of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, "Didn't you expect that I can break the shackles of the image, get rid of the fixed routine, and show more plasticity? This is also one of the original intentions of choosing comedy."

"...Yes!" Andy felt that the breath held in his chest was a bit depressed, "but then there is no need to shave his head, this is really too much sacrifice; moreover, it's really not a good time now."

Actors such as Van Diesel and Dawn Johnson shaved their heads, it was a last resort, mainly for the image of a tough guy; besides, Hollywood actors who are willing to shave their heads are really rare, because this is absolutely fatal to the actor's modeling. Sexual destruction. Not to mention bald heads, countless actors, even with Mediterranean hairstyles, do their best to preserve the remaining roots.

This image breakthrough, the visual impact is really too fierce, even Andy, it is a bit overwhelming.

It is hard to imagine that Lan Li, who was only 21 years old, suddenly became a bald head. Andy suddenly felt like crying without tears, why did he feel like he had dug a big hole and then buried himself.

"I have shaved my head before, but now I just go a step further, there is no need to worry." Lan Li was calm. He was talking about the issue of hairstyle during the "Pacific War". It’s not that important, "I didn’t rely on appearance to get these roles, and I hope I won’t develop such a tradition in the future."

For actors, modeling is originally part of the role, just like in the "Pacific War", the actors cannot be clean and refreshing every day. This is ridiculous. For the sake of the role, they just lie down in the mud. After a few days, my body stinks, but I must persist.

The same is true for hairstyles.

Lan Li doesn't think there is anything special about the hairstyle, it is also part of the role, as long as it meets the setting, then it must serve the role. Therefore, Lan Li never thinks that shaved head is a problem.

But Andy’s perspective is different. He is worried about "speed and excitement/emotion 5", or to be more precise, the commercial value of Lanly.

The release of this work is the first time that Lan Li has tried a commercial film. It can test Lan Li’s commercial value and market appeal. However, at this juncture, Lan Li suddenly shaved his head. For female audiences, It was too unfriendly, and it was tantamount to disrupting Andy's plan.

Why can't Tom Cruise shave his head? Some experts have predicted that if Tom shaves his head, his market value may fall by half or even more, because his audience will lose more than half, and even the role he can play will be reduced a lot. Just look at Tom Hanks. The hairstyle has been like a day for twenty years, and there has been little change.

Now, if Lanli shaves his head, although the commercial value will not fall by half-whether Lanli has commercial value now, this is still a big question mark; but it is certain that it will inevitably affect the future development plan of Lanli. For example, in superhero movies, he won't be considered anymore. He can't play a superhero with a wig and headgear, right?

Wait, is Thor's long hair in a hood?

Andy's thoughts were a little distracted, but he quickly recovered. He knew that Lan Li's words also made sense.

Originally restricted by age, Lan Li can choose from very limited scripts. If he is restricted to a handsome appearance, the play will only get narrower and narrower. After the filming of "Anti-Cancer Me", if nothing else, Lan Li will star in "Delicate"——

The latter doesn't mind Lan Li's hairstyle too much. After all, the role of Teacher Luo Po does not have any rigid requirements for the hairstyle. Even if there is, it is not afraid. The hair will grow back in at least two months before the "detachment" filming begins.

Yes, the hair does not disappear forever, or it will grow back. Having said that, Andy still felt a little dumbfounded.

Shaking his head gently, Andy said earnestly, "Lan Li, you are a handsome, funny, and charming man, please don't care so much about your appearance, okay?"

"Then you shouldn't be worried." Lan Li responded with a smile.

The self-confidence revealed in the understatement made Andy stunned. He didn't know how to refute, so he laughed blankly and nodded, "My fault."

Lan Li is destined to be a special actor, so he shouldn't use common sense to plan. It's him.

What's more, the reason why he recommends the script of "Anti-Cancer Me" to Lan Li is not only because of Seth, nor is it just because of the network of Lianzibang that Seth maintains-the greatness of Lanzigang. Some members are guests of innovative artist management companies, and Andy does not need to worry.

Part of the reason is that he simply flipped through the first five pages of the script and talked to the screenwriter Will for nearly twenty minutes to understand the role in all aspects. Andy believes that Lan Li is indeed suitable, and it also provides a platform for playing his acting skills-it's just that the acting skills he thinks are different from the ideas in Lan Li's mind.

Thinking of this, Andy can only sigh lightly, "No matter what I say, you have made up your mind, right?" Andy rubbed his aching temples, "anti-cancer me" is his initiative to match up. Yes, and Lan Li nodded and agreed, so he could only recognize it.

Lan Li didn't laugh, but Andy's helpless voice was really happy.

"I've talked about the pay." Andy quickly regained his composure and returned to business again. "800,000 U.S. dollars, plus a 5% box office dividend."

Andy throws a blockbuster lightly.

The crew of "Anti-Cancer Me" is very sincere. The budget of the crew is about 8 million, mainly because of Seth’s strong connections, which easily attracted the support of two independent production companies, and there are also three distribution companies. Interested, so the budget is very sufficient.

This is a work that does not require computer special effects, and all funds can be invested in the filming of the film. Therefore, the film is equipped with a very good cast lineup, Anna-Kendrick (Anna-Kendrick) who has flourished in the past two years, Anjelica-Huston (Anjelica-Huston) who is famous in the independent film industry, and There is Bryce Dallas who concealed his father Ron Howard’s background and went to Hollywood alone...

Add Seth Logan and Renly Hall. For an independent film, there are so many things to watch.

As a producer, Seth chose not to pay for the film, but to participate in the film production with a box office dividend, which gave the actors more room for film pay.

The "anti-cancer me" found Lan Li at the last moment and was ordered to be in danger. In addition, Andy hinted that Lan Li's schedule needs to be adjusted. Seth did not hesitate about the 800,000 salary, and took the initiative to pay. With a 5% box office dividend, I look forward to Andy's signing of the contract as soon as possible, and then Lan Li will appear on the Seattle studio.

Objectively speaking, with Lan Li's current value, it fluctuates between 80 and 1.5 million, which is a reasonable range. The salary of 800,000 is considered to be a normal level, not high or low, but considering that the "anti-cancer me" is an independent small crew, one-tenth of the salary is given to the lead actor, and it is still paid for other acting actors. If it's not low, this can be considered a big deal.

This is the highest salary so far in Renly's actor career.

As for box office dividends, that is an additional bonus.

To be honest, Andy himself felt a bit surprised-Lan Li's entry into the box office dividends is too smooth, and four consecutive works have obtained box office dividends qualifications.

In fact, this is just a superficial phenomenon. Each of the four works has a special reason.

"Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5", that was at the expense of the salary, in the power game, abruptly found a good opportunity, tore a crack; "Love is crazy" thanks to Drake Doremu Si’s sacrifice assigned his own interests to Lan Li; the “detachment” was due to Tony Kaye’s informality. Lan Li was actually half a producer in the crew, and the dividend was an encouragement to him. It is also an inspiration to him.

As for the "anti-cancer me", the last critical moment was replaced, and the other party still ordered a blue gift, and the box office dividend was more like compensation and reward.

What's more, the dividend ratios of the four works are not high. Three of them are independent works, and the final dividend profit is estimated to be unavailable. In summary, it may be lower than the average pay of actors of the same level in Lanli. Now that Lan Li takes over the production of commercial films, it is estimated that the box office dividends will still be ridiculous.

Even so, Andy still finds it incredible that four consecutive works have been eligible for box office dividends. And Lanli appeared on the big screen ~www.novelhall.com~ It's been less than a year.

"This is a good thing, at least, I don't need to worry about not being able to pay Nathan's salary." Lan Li's jokes revealed his ease.

Andy can hear that, in fact, Lan Li still doesn't care too much about the pay, and maintains a consistent style.

This made him shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly, "I will hand over the contract to a lawyer for review today. After confirming that there are no problems, I will send it to Nathan; then I will call Tony and set the schedule. It’s arranged, so you can prepare for the shooting of this work first."

First it was the "girl with dragon tattoo", then it was "detached", and now it was the "anti-cancer me". Within a few days, Lanly's work has undergone a sea-shaking change. What Andy didn't say is that he originally planned to fight for the work of the "Hunger Games" actor. But now it seems that the schedule is not up to date, and it has been missed before it starts operation.

"jobs?"

After hanging up the phone, Lan Li saw Paul walking out. He had replaced the T-shirt and sweatpants Lan Li had just given him, and he looked much more refreshed.

Lan Li stretched his waist and nodded in affirmation, "I'm going to start working again." The relaxed smile on his face showed his mood, "You weren't hiding in the bedroom just now, right?" After a few phone calls, Lanly made at least half an hour, and Paul didn't look like the personality of taking a shower for half an hour.

Paul chuckled twice, scratched his head, and said nothing.

Lan Li couldn't help but laughed, "Just treat this as my own home, there is no need to be cautious." Then he stood up and said teasingly, "But not including the next period of time, because I'm going to take a bath. You'd better Don't walk around casually."
