After the "Explosion Drummer" was completed, the Coen brothers sent an invitation to Renli very formally, hoping that the independent film could go to Sundance; at the same time, they also hope that Renli could go to Sundance to cheer for the independent film and expand its momentum.

Of course, like the three major European film festivals, Sundance must screen the quality of the participating films. Only works with excellent quality can be shortlisted for the main competition unit. In addition, there are other units, providing a platform for more independent filmmakers to show themselves.

The Coen brothers invited the "Explosive Drummer" early, while Damien Chazerre's post-production has not been completed yet. It is obviously because of Lanley's influence. No matter the quality of the "Explosive Drummer", they all hope to invite Lanley to Park City to build momentum for Sundance publicity.

As Marvel movies become more and more popular, the entire film market environment is becoming less and less friendly to independent films and art films. It has been mentioned before, "Summer Hero Tights in Summer and Little Golden Man Tights in Winter". These two sets of tights firmly wrap the entire market, and it is really difficult for other movies outside this to find more living space.

Even top directors like the Coen Brothers and David Finch are no exception, let alone those new generations or unknown young directors?

This year, the Coen brothers discussed with Robert Redford. They decided to hold a special screening unit for their director's works in Sundance to watch all the works of the Coen brothers in a row. They will also appear at the viewing scene and have face-to-face conversations with movie fans, directors, screenwriters, etc., hoping to attract more viewers to Park City.

Among them, the "Drunk Country Folk Song" that created a box office miracle is naturally the top priority. They also hope that Renli can appear in person at the exhibition site in Park City to stand for the film and Sundance. This is a very, very important opportunity for independent films.

Before working on "Drunk Village Folk Song", the Coen brothers had already begun to think about this possibility. Now that the first cooperation between the two sides was pleasant and successful, they naturally hope to go further and make Lanley an important member of the independent film field. They can even bring Sisyphus Pictures into their camp, looking forward to the creation of film art to get more support.

In fact, it's not just Renly.

The Coen brothers also hope to invite Ryan Gosling, Jack Gyllenhaal, Jessica Chastain, Rooney Mara and others through Renley, hoping that they can take their new works to Sundance. Even if they don't participate in the main competition unit, it doesn't matter. They just need to be screened in Park City, which is enough.

This is a huge plan!

For Damien, on the one hand, it was great news. When he first wanted to make a "burst drummer", he hoped to appear on the Sundance stage, but now it has been realized so simply; on the other hand, it was huge pressure. He did not want his work to be messed up, that was the real disaster.

Apparently, Damien began looking forward to the Sundance trip early.

On one hand, he is a favor, and on the other hand, he is a friend, and on the other hand, he is a career. Faced with such a situation, Renli really finds it difficult to refuse.

But the situation has been so special recently. Paul has just recovered and the filming of "Interstellar" has not been completed. Lanley still has no way to assert in advance whether he can appear in Park City on time.

Everything is up to date. This is not a perfunctory statement.

Now facing Andy's rhetoric, Renly could only remain silent.

Andy didn't hear the answer from the other end of the phone, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, but he didn't ask further, but returned to the main business, "Shouldn't you go to the crew now? Why call me? Is there anything specifically?"

Obviously, Renli is not a person who often calls or communicates.

If it was just a common problem, if Nathan took the initiative to raise it, Renly wouldn't even care; and once he took the initiative to call Andy, it would mean that there must be a serious matter, and it is very likely that it is an important matter.

"I need to make Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham the producers of the 'Fast and Furious' series." Lanley didn't drag on it and said the thoughts he had conceived in his mind for a long time.

"Ahem." Nathan was driving and almost choked by his saliva. As expected, Lanli made a splash when she didn't make a sound, and she said such shocking content in an understatement. Although Nathan had worked for Lanli for so many years, he still couldn't keep up with Lanli's thinking rhythm.

Lan Li raised her eyes, looked at the rearview mirror, and asked calmly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" It seemed that she didn't know what bombshell she had just dropped.

Nathan shook his head repeatedly, "It's okay, it's okay!"

Andy on the other end of the phone was not as ruthless as Nathan, but he also opened his mouth slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Do you know what this means?

Do you know how this actually needs to work?

Do you know what impact this power struggle will have?

Do you know how Universal Pictures might react?

Do you know that this means going to war on Diesel?

You know...

Countless question marks suddenly surged in his mind, but in the end Andy suppressed them all because he knew that the answers to all these questions were yes. Lan Li knew clearly what his words meant, what turmoil would create, and what consequences would be brought.

Even more clearer than Andy.

After all, Lan Li's family background is there, and she is really familiar with these intrigues and conspiracies, right?

Those questions just made me stupider, but... Andy couldn't help but ask, "Lanly, are you really sure?"

"Yes." Lan Li's answer was still simple and clear, and it was straightforward, without any hesitation or hesitation, and without even any provocation to emphasize his position.

Andy shook his head gently, helpless and funny, and then let out a long sigh, "Very good, tell me all your thoughts."

To some extent, Andy had already prepared for the arrival of this day, and he was even looking forward to the arrival of this day.

Since entering the actor industry, Lan Li has never taken the initiative. He is just devoted to the performance world. Everything is just about acting skills. Facing Diesel's attack, he is just passively defending; facing the challenge of pay, he is just sticking to the bottom line; facing the squeeze of large film companies, he is just sticking to himself...

He is a pure actor.

But for the agent, this is really a pity. Because Lanli has more energy and more influence, he can stand at the top of the pyramid to create more waves.

It must be clarified that this does not necessarily mean using one's own abilities to seek personal gain, but rather taking more initiative in the filmmaking industry: for example, go to Sundance to create more opportunities for independent films; for example, expanding the influence of the Heather Cross Foundation to help more people; for example, joining Paul, Ryan and other friends to shoot script projects that they are interested in... and so on.

These are all additional influences that are separated from the performance level: simply put, they are "opinion leaders".

Now, Lan Li, who has always been passively defending, finally took the initiative to take the initiative to leave the actor's comfort field, which is a great news for Andy.

"Simply put, it is literally meaning. Dawn Johnson and Jason Statham became the producers of the series, and I need them to have more power." Lanley repeated his words again, without much change.

Andy savored it carefully, "or rather, share Van Diesel's influence in the crew."

"Yes, in addition to the series of movies, you can suggest that Dawn and others start a play for their roles. If necessary, I don't mind being a guest role or even becoming a nominal producer." Lan Li's words were still reserved, indicating his position: he will still not affect his performance work for those trivial matters, and the so-called "active attack" is still limited.

"Extradition?" Andy thought this was a very interesting proposal.

Lan Li nodded, "I mean, what is Fan's most afraid of? His power is weakened, his role in the series will be weakened, and his machismo can no longer remain strong... Then, we are responsible for making his nightmare come true."

The understatement revealed a sharp and cold feeling.

Nathan raised his gaze, looked at Lan Li through the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but shivered. He deeply believed that Diesel never seemed to understand what object he had provoked. Even though he had experienced so many things in the past, Diesel still couldn't really understand.

Lanley noticed Nathan's gaze, raised her eyes, showed a smile on her lips, then withdrew her gaze and continued, "It's not just Dawn and Jason, but Michelle." Lanley's words paused here for a moment, "Andy, you can ask, if I'm not wrong, Michelle has always hoped to be able to produce and play a more important role in the script story, then, why don't we help her?"

"I have no way of knowing whether Michelle wants to be a producer. I don't have much contact with her agent; but I can be sure that Michelle is not satisfied with the current situation of the crew." Andy put his left hand on his beer belly again, and suddenly became excited. "How did you know?"

"Are she and Fan friends?" Lan Li raised the ending sound.

Birds of a feather flock together, no matter what region or field it is. Michelle and Diesel are able to become friends not because Michelle is attached to Diesel, but because Michelle and Diesel are essentially the same type of people, but because the different treatment caused by gender makes their career path in Hollywood appear differently.
