1294 Candidate Chips
The party is undoubtedly lively.
Lanley successfully met two low-yield but unique directors, Paul Sorrentino and James Grey, and unexpectedly met the fledgling black director Ryan Coogler. In addition, it is also interesting to discuss the significance of light and shadow in character creation with Alan Gilloddy.
But in the final analysis, Renley still doesn't like parties very much.
Compared to the film practitioners themselves, what he is more interested in is the works created by these film practitioners, as well as the creative techniques and artistic ideas that are infused into the works. Although he has seen most of the works in his previous life, it is still different to experience them on the Cannes big screen.
In short, he still likes Berlin more.
When we left the party, we had just stepped a little over midnight and the atmosphere had just reached its climax. A group of handsome men and beautiful women in bikini stepped on the drums of traditional Brazilian striking instruments and enthusiastically passed through the crowd. Everyone took each other's shoulders and drove the train, dancing around the rooftop in a mighty manner.
In the party atmosphere, even a shy person like Jim Jamsh couldn't help but join in.
Lan Li's departure attracted no attention.
Back in his hotel room, Renli was ready to take good care of his energy. For others, attending the Cannes Film Festival might mean opportunities everywhere; but for Renli, it means countless good movies. Just browsing the list, he couldn't wait to sit in the cinema and watch the movies well.
Before taking a shower and going to bed, Lanli turned on her laptop and confirmed the email from Andy.
The whole email is concise and clear, orderly, and it only lists the basic concepts and introductions of a series of projects. There is no in-depth detailed explanation and explanation, but more just a summary.
It is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to make a judgment based on such a simple program.
Many projects have no problems in the conception stage, such as directors, actors, screenwriters, photography, creativity, frameworks, structures, stories, etc., and even make people full of hope. In all aspects, this will be a work that will inevitably succeed. However, in the actual operation, it is full of countless surprises, and the final product is not satisfactory, either unrecognizable and off-track; or it is created according to the idea, but the market does not like it at all.
This is like a list of competitive sports. Judging from paper strength, a strong team is a strong team, which is full of expectations, but the game still needs to be contested to determine the outcome. The most typical representative is the Belgian football team. They have become the highest-value national team in Europe many times, but the performance in the European Cup and World Cup is difficult to satisfy.
Movies are no exception.
Now from the paper analysis of the email, there is really not much information, so I can only simply judge the subject matter and type, just like Andy's afternoon communication, a girl movie, animated movie, action movie, and so on, but that's all, and it's really hard to make a deep judgment.
Naturally, Andy did not force it, just hoped that Lan Li would have a clear idea and list the bottom line so that he could further negotiate and negotiate.
At this moment, it was a good thing for Lan Li. The advantages of rebirth were revealed unknowingly.
"'Super Marines', an animation, an adaptation of the original comic book, is set as a future city where Tokyo and San Francisco combine, after the 'Invincible Destruction King', Disney's parent company's animation department, dubbing the male lead.
‘Cinderella’, a live-action movie, an adaptation of the original animation. Playing as Prince. The All-Star lineup is under discussion.
Damon Lindelof is responsible for writing scripts for the inspirational project of "Tomorrow World", science fiction, Disney theme park.
’Star Wars legend: Rogue One’, science fiction. The male lead.
'City of Sin 2', Crime, original comic adaptation. Not determined. Robert Rodriguez returns to the director position."
The above is the complete email list. The five projects are clear at a glance. Without a detailed plot summary, the key information that can be clicked is enough to outline the outline of the entire project.
For example, there are two biggest highlights of "Tomorrow World", one is Disney theme park. As we all know, the opportunity for the birth of "Pirates of the Caribbean" was Disney's pirate project in the theme park.
At that time, the Pirates project had gradually declined, with fewer and fewer tourists, and they were in a state of loss. If the deficit was not restored, Disney would have to spend huge sums of money to tear down the entire project and then rebuild a brand new project. However, former CEO Michael Eisner made the decision and gave it one last chance, so there was the "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Now the "world of tomorrow" is facing the same situation and has emerged.
One is screenwriter Damon Lindelof. Just like JJ Abrams, this is another Hollywood science fiction celebrity who started out as a TV series "Lost". After that, he also wrote many science fiction works such as "Prometheus", "Star Trek: Darkness", and "Watching the World".
Rumor has it that in order to invite Damon to write the script for "Tomorrow's World", Disney offered a million dollars. This is the top screenwriter's reward in Hollywood.
And so on.
The core of "Cinderella" is the All-Star lineup.
This is the first time Disney has tried to change the cartoons into live-action movies to solve the dilemma of serious lack of original scripts. Once successful, Disney's huge film library will become an inexhaustible resource, and it can easily widen the gap with the other five major film companies. Therefore, Disney is determined to use an all-star lineup to drive the long-term development of the entire project.
The core of the "Super Marines" is the production of Disney's parent company.
In the past ten to fifteen years, Pixar's emergence has completely disrupted the market structure, replaced Disney, and became the absolute king of the animation market. The rise of Blue Sky Studio and DreamWorks animation has made Disney passive. Disney was once the only one in the 2D animation market, but gradually lagging behind in the 3D animation market.
The work that changed all this is "Invincible Destruction King", which sounded the return of Disney's original animation, followed by "Frozen" and then "Super Marines".
In summary, this email is very sincere, simple but critical, and the important information is clear at a glance.
It can be seen that Disney has shown an active and proactive intention in cooperation. Rather than exchanging interests for Vin Diesel, it is better to say that Renli is the absolute focus from beginning to end. Disney still hopes to establish a cooperative relationship with Renli.
As for Diesel?
It's just a big deal. Aside from a Diesel, there are countless actors in Hollywood who are eager to play "Guardians of the Galaxy". Disney doesn't have to worry about the choice of actors at all.
What surprised Lanley the most was "Star Wars Legend: Rogue One".
There is no modification or explanation, of course, it does not need to be, because the existence of the project itself is the biggest highlight. Just show your reputation. More than one-third of the actors in Hollywood should be eager to become one of them. This also means that Disney can sit firmly on Diaoyutai and slowly select actors.
So, why do you have to be a Renley?
As Lanley and Andy said in communication, the Marvel series and "Star Wars" are essentially the same. They focus on character image and reputation, and have no direct connection with actors and directors. After forming assembly line production, even if the actors and directors are replaced, the impact on the box office of the work is minimal. Using a newcomer or a second-tier and third-tier cast lineup is the most economical and effective method.
But if you think about it carefully and deeply, you can also have another explanation.
"Star Wars Legend: Rogue One" is closer to an attempt, similar to the current "Cinderella" or the "Iron Man" attempt in 2008. If it can be successful, then Disney can completely build a derivative series around the "Star Wars" brand to maximize the brand's interests.
At the beginning, "Iron Man" made Robert Downey Jr., and he also became the most important core bone in the entire Marvel series. He is also the only one among all Marvel superheroes with a super pay.
Similarly, "Star Wars" made Harrison Ford, and "Pirates of the Caribbean" made Johnny Depp. Now, Disney also hopes that "Star Wars Legend" can become an absolute core, and then build another legendary universe around this core.
So, they took Renley into consideration.
Of course, all this is just Lanley's personal guess. After all, he is not Robert Eiger, and he is not good at business management and marketing, so this inference may not be accurate.
However, one thing is certain that "Rogue One" is only part of Disney's blueprint. As for what level this part will develop, it depends on Disney itself. In essence, this is still similar to the series of works by Marvel Studios. Before, Lanley gave up "Thor"; now, after his mood changes, will he choose "Star Wars Legend"?
Without further communication and understanding, Lanli could guess Andy could not suppress his excitement. Sure enough, Lanli found a line of notes at the bottom of the forwarding email:
Dear Lanley, please be sure to contact me any questions about "Star Wars Story". I will do my best to conduct investigations and promote cooperation. At the same time, I will not forget to protect your personal interests. A broker is always my primary responsibility. But, but! I really welcome you to contact me at any time.
Andy's urgent expression naturally appeared in his mind, and Renli couldn't help but chuckled.
Retracting his distracted thoughts, Lan Li concentrated on his mind and made a quick judgment. It was extremely difficult for others to make a decision, but it was simpler for Lan Li. What's more, now it's just in the stage of initial exchange of opinions, and when they are measuring chips, things are even simpler.
So Renli quickly began to reply to the email.
If Matthew saw it, he would be very moved.
