1770 Binding cooperation
Andre Hamilton pushed open the door of the apartment, looked back with surprise, and said loudly, "Lanli, you didn't lock the door? Didn't you say that someone broke in last week? Although your nerves are thicker, you are not so stupid, right?"
When he walked into the room, Andre saw Andy and Matthew's expressions with dignity, which made Andre's expression pause slightly, slowly turn his head, and then saw Lan Li's face with a calm face. He couldn't help but blink, straighten his waist slightly, and still said, "Why, if you allow you to be stupid, I won't let me complain?"
Andre knew that Renly was a joke.
Despite this, Andre avoided his sight and went straight into the room, sat down on Matthew's right, and began to look for the cup and wine, "What are you discussing, go ahead, don't pay attention to me."
A smile appeared in Lanli's eyes, and she looked at Andy again, continuing the topic just now.
"What you mean is that there is actually a list within the company, but you are not sure about my idea. Worrying that my choice will be shot by me will easily create chaos. It is best to understand my idea in advance, and then all senior brokers within the company can get the benefits in advance. Is that true?"
The overall operating system of innovative artist brokerage companies is the only one in Hollywood: resource sharing and equal sharing of interests means that the company's resources are fully open to all artists, while the company's profits are shared by all brokers. Such a unique operating model allows them to firmly occupy the top spot in the industry.
However, such a model has historical causes and cannot be copied or imitated. Michael Orwitz, who once created such a model and led the company to the top, later left the innovative artist agency. After failing to succeed as the position of Disney president, he founded another small agency. He started again from scratch, but also failed to succeed.
Although it is a shared resource and equal interest, people's hearts are biased. Every agent hopes that actors who are closer to them can get more opportunities.
"Jurassic Park" is such an opportunity. Steven Spielberg serves as the producer and Renly Hall serves as the male lead. Before filming started, it is destined to be a major project. Although opportunities are shared within the innovative artist agency, each actor under its jurisdiction is qualified to be shortlisted for competition; but the agents still show their magical powers across the sea, hoping that their actors and even directors can be appreciated by Renly.
Even Andy became a sweet bun.
Lan Li directly exposed Andy's intentions, and Andy was not angry. He still held red wine in his right hand and his left hand was still on the beer belly. "Since you know my situation, then why not reveal a little bit of the news so that I can take the opportunity to show off. You know, even when the actors come to the company, they will come here to say hello to me and bring me coffee."
"Ha. Just a cup of coffee?" Andre said meaningfully while sitting next to him.
Andy pursed his lips, and a smile appeared in his eyes, without affirmation but no denial.
Lan Li chuckled, "You can tell them what actors they want to recommend, list them all, and my acceptance range is very wide."
These meaningful words made Andy roll his eyes directly, "Are you looking forward to them believing?"
"I'm answering the question seriously. They don't believe it, and I can't do anything." Lan Li shrugged and expressed her helplessness.
Lanli is serious.
Of course, he can recommend the cast and production cast based on the final version of the previous life, which is very easy. But in this way, it is recommended that there must be more complicated possibilities in the trend of things; rather than doing so, it is better to let it go. If a more suitable candidate appears, why not do it? After all, history has changed the trajectory now, just like the entire production lineup of "Edge of Tomorrow" has changed.
So, Renli is indeed open to all possibilities now.
Andre picked up his glass, "What are you trying to make them believe? You should tell them that if you don't want to believe Renli, then there should be no need to believe you. You are Renli's agent, and they need to look at your face, not the other way around."
The tone of course still has condescending strength and domineeringness, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Then Andre continued, "Since Lanli has no standards, then aren't the standards allowed to be formulated by you? You can choose the list of actors based on your closeness and distantness, or enjoy benefits; anyway, you will refuse at that time, and the final decision will be Lanli, and just throw the blame to him."
Andy and Matthew both cast their sights at Andre. Although there were no special expressions or special words, the meaning was obvious: Are you sure it doesn't matter if you were black liar in front of you?
Andre straightened his back and said generously, "Lanli is a demon, he never minds. Those kind people are deceived by his appearance. We do good deeds and let them see Lanli's true face. Then they know that this person must not be teased casually in the future, right?"
"So have you ever thought about why you can still be alive now?" Lan Li said calmly.
"..." Andrey faced Lanley's introverted gaze, blinked, then pretended not to hear it, lowered his head and took a sip of red wine, and then said to Andy, "I'm just a suggestion, a suggestion. The specific operation and execution need to be decided by yourself."
That pretended calm look really makes people laugh.
Slowly, Lanli turned her eyes to Andy again and said with a smile, "Tell them that I don't have time yet, and there are more important tasks that need to be completed first recently." Lanli signaled the script on the desktop with her eyes, "I believe it is not difficult to make a judgment whether it is a 'Jurassic Park' important or these important ones."
If Sisyphus Pictures officially starts mass production of films, then innovative artist agency will inevitably be the first beneficiary, and a large number of job opportunities are in front of you.
Andy knew it and agreed.
Andre also turned back his sight and joined the discussion topic freely, "Is there any progress in the project now? I drank with Eaton last night. He felt that we could go both ways, and some projects could be put into production first, and temporarily put the development plan of the streaming platform aside. Sony Classic's cooperation can still be carried out normally; in addition, Disney will also choose two of the projects we produce, right?"
Lan Li nodded in agreement.
Creating a streaming media platform is not something that can be completed in one or two days, but Sisyphus Films' film production department can start to work. After "Explosive Drummer" and "Night Walker", their cooperation with Sony Classics has gradually figured out the way, and now they can fully enter the next stage of original content production.
"There are too many projects and I'm still choosing; but I've already listed a list..."
Halfway through Lanli's speech, Andre interrupted, "There is a list here?"
Quiet.
Totally quiet.
But Andre seemed to have no idea that he had said a cold joke. He looked at Lanli calmly, and then saw Lanli lightly, "Yes, there is also a list here. There is also a supermarket shopping list written by Matthew on my refrigerator. Otherwise, after our meeting here, will you go to the supermarket?"
"I think I'd rather not." The young master Hamilton in front of me had never gone to the supermarket to shop in my life. "I think I don't fit the supermarket's personality."
"Then we will pay attention to the list in front of us. What do you think?" Lanli's calm words made people feel a creepy and horrified. Andre couldn't help but look at Matthew, "What's wrong with him today?"
"You can try reading for eight hours in a day, and continue for a month without interruption." Matthew said calmly.
Andre shuddered directly, "Then I would rather choose to die."
"So, can we discuss this list now?" Lan Li's voice prompted Andre to quickly withdraw his gaze and involuntarily sat upright, just like a well-behaved elementary school student, no longer had the expression of being careless just now, and sat upright to express his high concentration.
Lanli handed Andre the list on the desktop to Andre, "I didn't count carefully. Now I calculated how many works I have now, and I just added one after seeing one. However, I made some simple notes at the back. Do I still remember the poem notes from our previous high school? I recorded it in that way; you can make a simple judgment and then decide the order of the production."
Andy also sat upright and leaned over.
It was a white letter paper, completely handwritten, with the project name on the left, neatly arranged in a row; the right was a few vowels and numbers, which were clearly visible to those who understand it, and for those who are laymen, it was a wordless heavenly book. But what is certain is that the neat and beautiful fonts do have the texture of British poetry, and it seems to have nothing to do with movies and TV.
"The first and second pages are movies; the third page is TV series." Renli continued, "Also, have you considered making animated series, like the 'Simpsons', 'Spoof House', or Japanese anime..."
The production process of animated series is relatively less complicated, and the investment cost is relatively easy to save. Of course, the audience is narrower and it is more difficult to succeed.
Andre shook his head and expressed his denial, "Lanli, we are too busy now and have no time to acquire or adapt the comics. More importantly, our capital chain cannot keep up. Let's focus on this list first, which is more practical."
Faced with Andre's decisiveness, Lan Li didn't say much, pursed her lips, and then nodded to show her understanding: it seemed that the cake he had had seemed a bit too big.
Chapter completed!
