From the "Pacific War" to "Love Is Crazy", Lan Li has been rolling in Hollywood for two and a half years in a blink of an eye. This year, he ushered in a rising momentum across the board, first with "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5". North America’s 300 million, followed by 100 million who are "crazy in love", the rise is really not щww{][lā}

Especially "Love is crazy". This is not the second time in a row that Lan Li has proven his box office appeal.

In "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5", Lanli is only the third protagonist. Even if the sensation becomes more sensational, even if the media is noisy, even if the audience is uproarious again, the major film companies and industry insiders will still count the credit for the fan- Diesel and Paul Walker. Look at the attitude of Universal Pictures at a glance.

Now, "Love Is Crazy" is not only Renly’s first North American work with a surpassing 100 million yuan, but also as the actor in a romantic movie-just like Richard Gere, George Clooney, Matthew -Like actors such as McConaughey, such films will always be an important magic weapon to harvest the female audience market.

First there was the tough guy-style "speed and excitement/emotion 5", and then there was the romanticized "love crazy". The market value of Lanli is no longer the same.

In fact, the 100 million "Crazy Love" North America is even more incredible than the "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" North America 300 million: this is an independent film with no stars, no gimmicks, and no box office potential. Now However, it broke the shackles of market laws and wrote a breakthrough that has not been achieved since 2001. As a well-deserved number one hero, Lanli's status and weight have naturally risen.

After "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" created a box office miracle, "Entertainment Weekly" once wrote an article. Whether Universal Pictures contributed to the situation is unknown, but it is certain that Cornell McGregor did There is no plan to fight with Lan Lihua as a jade silk.

In the article, Cornell emphasized that Lan Li still needs to prove himself. The success of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5" has made countless people start to get mad, and there are countless voices in pursuit of Lan Li, but the biggest contributor to the success of this film should be the director Justin Lin, followed by the support of the film series to the fifth one. Fan and Paul are once again the blue gift that brought the chemical reaction. The so-called "300 million in North America" ​​is a victory, but Lan Li needs to calm down, look for opportunities to prove his market value, and is not just a third protagonist.

After this article was first published, it was like a bucket of cold water, poured down on the raging fire of the summer file. It caused a lot of controversy, but there were more supporters.

But just a few months later, the "Love Crazy" turned out, but like a straight fist, it slammed Cornell's cheek forcefully and firmly, fast, cruel and powerful. Without any language, success is always the best counterattack to doubters.

No one would ignore the counterattack of "Crazy Love" breaking the laws of the market, even Universal Pictures would not. To be precise, Universal Pictures will not. For the six major Hollywood film companies, preparing to seize the opportunity, accurately measure the trend, and prepare to predict the future is an important magic weapon for them to stand firm.

There is no need to wait until the box office of "Crazy Love" broke 100 million in North America. It was only in the second week that Focus Films went crazy and expanded. However, "Crazy Love" easily defeated "Iron Armored Steel Fist" with a strong performance. , To win the North American weekend box office rankings, this is enough for Focus Films-Universal Pictures naturally knows how difficult it is to achieve this result.

This is a crucial turning point for the negotiation of the sequel of "speed and excitement/emotion".

As "Entertainment Weekly" said, Lan Li needs to prove himself more. Now Lan Li has proved it. This means that with one rumor plus two sequels, the market potential has soared, and it is not just Lan Li’s personal box office value. , But the value-added value of Lanli to the brand of "speed and excitement/emotion" has become the key to shaking Universal Pictures.

What's more, Andy Rogers is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

After the Toronto Film Festival, the latest news came from within Disney. "Love is crazy" has attracted much attention in Toronto. Lan Li defeated George Clooney and Brad Pitt and became the king of popularity. Star Battlefield’s leading actor took the lead in the audition. This Disney's annual drama has a budget of up to 250 million U.S. dollars. It is definitely a blockbuster work.

At the same time, there are internal rumors that Paul Walker’s negotiations with Universal Pictures have hit a rock. It is heard that Van Diesel, as a producer, has become more and more powerful in his creative concept of the sequel to "speed and excitement/emotion", and his personal roles have increased. At the same time, more personal show-offs are required. Relatively speaking, Paul's role has been severely cut.

Paul himself didn't care, but Jordana Brewster, Gal Gadot, Cheng Kang and others expressed their dissatisfaction and stood behind Paul. the reason? Very simple, because their roles also need to be adjusted.

This rumor was subsequently denied by Fan himself, and Tyrese Gibson also said that the rumor was false. But Paul, Jordana, Gale and others avoided talking. As the focal point, Lan Li has repeatedly refused to respond in Toronto, saying that he needs to focus all his attention on the propaganda of "Love Crazy".

On October 5th, Universal Pictures officially began casting roles for "Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 6". This time, the selection of important roles reached as many as double digits, demonstrating Universal Pictures’ determination to push the series of films to a new peak. It has attracted a lot of attention in the Hollywood industry, attracting Joel Kinnerman, Charlie-Hunnam, Bill Skarsgard (Bill-ard), Liam Hemsworth Attention to potential rising stars such as Sri Lanka.

Rumor has it that in the sequel, both Dominic and Hobbes will face more severe challenges. Therefore, the crew needs more potential and powerful actors to join. In the fifth part, they named Hobbes; then in the sequel, they can once again start the name of another newcomer.

what does that mean?

Later, during the promotion of "Love Is Crazy", for the first time in two months, Lan Li mentioned the sequel of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" directly.

"Yes, of course, we are actively discussing it. I am full of expectations for the role of Luke Hobbs, I mean, he is different from the other roles I perform. It may be thicker, it may be more direct and popular. , But he is undoubtedly an interesting character. I hope to dig out more things to give this work more meaning. But this is a difficult process and we still have a lot of work to do. So, let us Wait and see."

This good gesture is generally regarded as a sign that Renly and Universal Pictures have reached a consensus; moreover, this is not all.

Paul Walker attended the "Crazy Love" Los Angeles fan meeting. In an interview, he also said, "I am looking forward to working with Renly again. Last time, I had too few head-to-head duels with him. I am looking forward to a good fight. Enemies? Yes, of course, Brian and Hobbs are enemies. As for whether they can become friends in the future, haha, I am looking forward to Lan Li as Luke Hobbs. Develop more possibilities."

He didn't mention his contract renewal or the friendship between himself and Fan. He just focused on Lan Li. Of course, this can be explained as this is the home of "Crazy Love" and it is not suitable to talk about too many other works. However, the media has smelled an abnormal taste.

Despite this, Renly and Paul have made positive and positive remarks, which gives the media reason to believe that the rumor and sequel of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion" is really coming, at least Universal Pictures is on the right track. On the road.

But then, rumors broke out within Warner Bros. that Tim Burton's "Dark Shadow", the male protagonist prefers Lanly. Because Tim likes the retro and elegant temperament of Lan Li, which coincides with the new male protagonist. This news has aroused widespread discussion. If it comes true, then this will be the first time Tim has used an actor other than Johnny Depp as the leading actor since the 2003 "Big Fish".

Immediately afterwards, the latest news came from the "Alien Battlefield", and Renly was infinitely close to the actor's final contract. For a while, Lan Li’s limelight was unmatched. At least three major film actor candidates have been locked in Lan Li-even if they are not, they have entered the final stage, and these three works are super blockbusters. Such a hot situation ~www.novelhall.com~ is enviable and exciting.

In the midst of this uproar of news, people in the industry have always maintained a wait-and-see attitude, because they know that there are variables before the official decision is made, not to mention that these news are really flying all over the sky, and it is difficult to be true or false. It is not easy to identify Michael Fordrey and Andy Rogers who are hiding behind them, each showing their magical powers. It is not easy to find the truth in the chaos.

Even being in it is no exception. Jack Wallace and Dawn Johnson are like that.

Dawn knew that the development of things was not as smooth as the media said. Because the "speed and excitement/love" crew contacted his agent Jack as early as the beginning of September, but this time it was not Neil H-Moretz, but Michael Fordrey. They invited Dawn to play an important role in the sequel, and promised that the role will not be too light.

In this regard, Jack expressed his skepticism. He believes that in fact, Dawn and Lan Li have switched positions. The crew just wants to use Dawn as a grindstone. Now Lan Li has the advantage that Dawn did not have last year: "speed and excitement/love." 5" success. Therefore, Jack is not optimistic about this negotiation.

But even so, Jack is still ready to try it. Once this opportunity is seized, it will skyrocket, just like last year's blue gift; even if they missed it, they would have nothing to lose.

However, with the development of time, Jack’s conjecture is gradually becoming a reality: Universal Pictures has always been reluctant to give up the blue gift. Although Michael and him have always been in close contact, and the negotiation has gone very smoothly, he has once again fallen into the pay. Dead end, it seems that Michael still has no plans to let go. Such a situation, how familiar. )!!
