390 Plan Changes
After turning around and leaving, Lanli looked at the time and guessed that Andy should have just landed in Boston, so she called her cell phone. After waiting for a while, Andy really answered the phone. Lanli did not politely greet her and directly told the emergencies just now.
After saying that, there was silence on the other end of the phone. Lan Li couldn't even hear Andy's breathing, as if the call had been disconnected. After a while, Andy's sneering voice came over, as if he had held his breath for a long time and finally got his breath back.
"Okay. I understand." Andy sorted out his thoughts, but just when he thought he had woken up, he couldn't help but sneer again, both absurd and funny, and a little helpless.
This can definitely be said to be the end of the road, and there is no way out. When he was worried about Ren Li's next work, he had a pillow when he was sleepy, which was simply not more perfect. But the problem is that his agent once again became a decoration, which really felt frustrated.
Finally, Andy calmed down again and began to sort out his thoughts. He asked carefully about the details of "detachment", and then he realized, "No problem, leave the rest to me, and you should concentrate on starting to read the script."
Andy pondered for a moment. He had no objection to recording the album, so he just regarded it as a hobby and was harmless.
Even Barbra Streisand, who won all-around all-rounders in the Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Emmy Awards and Oscars, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Jamie-fo, etc., have played music, and Johnny even formed his own band.
What's more, even if he didn't need his reminder, Lan Li's attention was always focused on the performance, just like this time's "detachment".
Andy originally thought that Moriarty or the "girl with dragon tattoos" had a severe test for Lanli's acting skills. Unexpectedly, Lanli was still challenging the more terrifying limit.
On the road of professional exploration, his speed is a bit unsatisfactory, which is also a headache. But from another perspective, this is also a good thing.
For Lan Li, works like "detachment" are a stage to challenge their own limits and constantly polish their acting skills; but for Andy, "detachment" does not lie in awards, box office, or even word of mouth, but in showing Lan Li's professional attitude.
Especially under the successive praise of "burying alive" and "love crazy", it is easy to have a crisis of "praising and killing". After all, Lan Li is only twenty-one years old and has only released two works, so the praise is really too much; in this case, Lan Li put aside the attention of commercial movies and the utilitarianism of independent movies, devoted herself to the world of performance, and slightly withdrawing from the excessively hot spotlight is actually a good thing.
In a sense, it can be regarded as retreating to advance.
Andy chose a work like "The Girl with Dragon Tattoo" for Renley, which is not without such considerations. Although the attention of "The Girl with Dragon Tattoo" is too high, and the media can easily blur the focus, at least, the cast and script of the movie itself have artistic attributes, and from the perspective of publicity and planning, this makes sense.
However, now that there are new options, "detachment" will be more suitable in comparison.
What's more, the male protagonist of "The Girl with Dragon Tattoo" is forty-three years old, while the male protagonist of "detached" is around thirty years old. In terms of the fit of the characters, it is obviously the latter who wins.
With Renli's age, it is really difficult to find suitable scripts and characters. A script like "Deliverance" is actually just a needle in a haystack. With Andy's connections, you can naturally find the script, but there are no more than 1,000 scripts, and he needs to slowly screen them one by one. Now, Renli has made new discoveries, so it is naturally better.
Andy has enough trust in Lanli's professional qualities and believes in Lanli's judgment and choices.
In addition, the work "Deliverance" is linked to two heavyweights, Tony Kayer and Woody Allen. Both are famous figures in the New York art industry, laying a solid foundation for future connections. This is much more cost-effective than the two works "burying alive" and "love crazy".
The observation perspectives of actors and agents are obviously completely different. In just a few words of conversation, Andy has entered a brand new field, and Renli is a field that she will never think about.
"As for the 'girl with dragon tattoo'..." Andy pondered for a moment, his brain quickly started to work, and he reorganized his thoughts.
With "detachment" as a reference, Andy's plan became clear. In this way, the attention of "Girl with Dragon Tattoo" is too high, the role is not very consistent, the competition is too fierce, and the role of the male protagonist is still inferior to that of the female protagonist, which is indeed various disadvantages.
However, the advantages of this movie are also very obvious. It can be connected with David Finch, and it is a work that is highly integrated with business and art. Lanley's current acting reputation is enough, but his recognition has not achieved an essential leap. After "Fast and Furious 5", I don't know what the situation will be.
"I will try to see it. If there is any situation, I will notify you as soon as possible." Andy feels that from a strategic perspective, he still needs to work harder, but now the focus needs to be adjusted. "After communicating, I will tell Nathan. You should concentrate on the study of performance."
"Okay." Lan Li agreed and made a quick and neat move. For such cooperation, he naturally raised his hands and feet to welcome him. "By the way, I have already negotiated the 'deliver' pay. 300,000 yuan, 5% of the box office dividend, and 5% of the movie disc dividend."
Andy opened his mouth, and was distracted because he was too surprised and almost hit the pillar. He braked urgently at the last moment, and then his brain reacted.
Works like "detachment" are destined to be impossible to have too much investment. Andy is mentally prepared. The pay may be less than 100,000 US dollars, but now, not only is it far exceeding expectations, but it also has dividends! Including DVD dividends!
As a broker, Andy is really clear about the significance hidden behind this set of data.
Andy was even a little curious about how Renli talked about. Just by relying on this series of data, you can see the crew's attention and affirmation of Renli; it may even be Woody Allen's affirmation of Renli! Andy knew that he could no longer continue to think about it, otherwise the pink dream bubble would not be able to stop.
Now Andy is very motivated! Compared to those who are planning, the real benefits are much more joyful. Tony Kayer has also become cute in Andy's eyes; the strategic significance of "transcendence" will also undergo subtle changes.
"I finally didn't continue to lose money." Andy couldn't help but joke, showing his bright mood.
After hanging up the phone, Lan Li had no time to celebrate, because the pioneer village gradually became busy, and he rolled up his sleeves and played the temporary waiter again, flying all over the bar, becoming busy.
Lan Li likes such a life. Because such days always remind him that this is the place where he dreams of starting. He is still an actor, a down-to-earth actor. No matter what height he reaches, what achievements he achieves, and what difficulties he faces, he should never forget his original intention at the beginning.
In the evening, I met many old friends in the bar. At the most lively time, Lanli bought a glass of tequila for all the guests to celebrate the good news that "Cleopatra" was among the top 20 Billboards, and thanks to these old guys for their support.
When Lan Li woke up the next morning, her temples that were ached a little reminded him that she had drunk too much last night.
It's time for vacation, and if he wants, he can hold his body in the bed all day, not to mention that it's still the worst time in New York; but Renley plans to go to Mount Sinai Hospital today, and he hasn't been there after the New Year, and he doesn't know what the situation is like for the children.
If possible, Lan Li will take some time every day for the next few days because he will go to Los Angeles again next, and after the filming of "Speed" starts, he still doesn't know when he will be busy.
The volunteer work at Mount Sinai Hospital was something that Renley wanted to keep going, and he had no intention of giving up.
So, Lanli forced herself to leave the warm bed, first took a shower in the bathroom, and then soaked a glass of honey lemonade, and then she felt comfortable.
When you open the refrigerator, you can see several fresh-keeping boxes inside. One of the huge fresh-keeping boxes is filled with toast slices cut into triangles, while the other boxes are packed with cucumber slices, tomato slices, cheese slices, ham sausage slices, lunch meat slices, and even two boxes containing fried eggs and bacon.
Neatly, square, and tightly. Even the cucumber slices and tomato slices are stacked meticulously according to their size. They don’t look like food at all, but more like modern art creation.
It can be seen from this orderly appearance that this is Matthew's work.
He was originally worried that he would starve to death at home after he did not have a roommate who shared the rent. Now it seems that the gentleman who lives upstairs is his successor roommate, as if he has returned to his previous college time. Renli expressed his satisfaction with this roommate.
I opened the fresh-keeping box and quickly made two sandwiches, packed them in plastic wrap, and then left the apartment with a skateboard.
New York is still a misty scene, and the hazy sky looks like there is no sign of clearing. Lan Li pulled up the hat of the windbreaker, threw the skateboard to the ground, and started to speed again. The ancient and vicissitudes of the streets have the illusion of crossing the time tunnel every time they pass through.
However, this situation lasted not long, and the sound of the cell phone in his pocket broke the tranquility. Lanli slowed down slightly and took out her cell phone, "This is Lanli."
"Hey man. I'm standing in Times Square now and can't feel my toes anymore. Can you come and save me?"
Lanley burst into laughter. It was Paul Walker.
