You know your own business.

Lan Li knew that he was a maverick freak, extremely picky in his style and way of behaving, and if he had changed to any other agent, the two sides might have already quarreled, not to mention, his insistence on art films and professional performances, and many times gave up the opportunity to perform in commercial films, which was unacceptable to most agents.

It is because of Andy Rogers that the Blue Rite is the Blue Rite now.

Therefore, after the expiration of the brokerage contract between the two people, after experiencing so many disturbing accidents and noises, Lan Li still cut through the chaos without hesitation and completed the contract renewal with Andy as soon as possible.

"It's been an honor to have you as my agent. In this sentence, Lan Li is sincere.

Andy's words were slightly stuck.

To be honest, he is still a little uneasy and apprehensive, after experiencing the "Edge of Tomorrow" North America 500 million swept thousands of troops, "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Folk" two works, in fact, are all works selected by Lan Li himself, for Andy's work is actually a denial, although the two completed the contract renewal, but Andy's work was not in place.

After the filming of "Drunken Country Folk", Andy has been planning for the future of Lan Li, but after two months of planning and preparation, Andy finally decided to run aground, and wholeheartedly considered and planned for Lan Li, hoping that Lan Li could be put into the rest of the long vacation. Andy is bound to have regrets, but for the sake of long-term development, he still made a decision with an iron fist.

And now the project of the "Burst Drummer" has suddenly appeared out of thin air......

Andy looked at Lan Li in confusion, "What do you mean......"

Lan Li nodded his head lightly in affirmation, "I will still rest for a while as originally planned, the project of 'Burst Drummer' is just a recommendation." Damien Chazelle is a very talented young man and to be honest, I love the 'Burst Drummer' project a lot, and I would love to be a part of it a few months earlier or a few months later, but not now. ”

Andy was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but after reacting, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "Are you sure? I thought that this project was definitely yours, and it was really suitable for you." Why don't you star?"

"Huh. Lan Li smiled dumbly, "Andy, so do you want me to play or don't want me to play?"

Andy's smile stayed on his lips, stiffened slightly for a moment, and then reacted, shrugged helplessly, and looked at Lan Li depressedly, "Do you realize now what a difficult customer you are? ”

"Yes, I know. Lan Li calmly agreed.

Andy nodded in agreement, "So, how would you like to recommend this project, just as an introducer, or as a producer?"

"The difference?" Lan Li asked, puzzled.

Although Lan Li has been in Hollywood for a short time, and he has enough understanding of filmmaking and connections, in the final analysis, he is an actor, a pure actor, and he has limited knowledge and little interest in matters related to production and promotion, and he is still more enthusiastic about the study of acting than holding power.

"The literal difference. Andy explained simply, "Introduction, that is, to build a bridge, the rest of the matter depends on the creation of each other, production, that is, the guarantor, as I just said, 'Lan Li-Hall', for Hollywood, is now not only an actor's name, but also a guarantee of the quality of the work and the guarantee of selection vision." ”

Lan Li instantly understood, and couldn't help but think of Steven Spielberg from last night's Oscar night.

"If you're willing to be involved in the production process as a producer, it won't take you a few days to see how the project is progressing. Andy continued, "But the quality of the work and the quality of the director have an impact on your reputation, after all, you are not Spielberg yet, and once you are involved in the field of producers, you need to be more careful in selecting your works." ”

Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips slightly, "I believe in Damien Chazelle, and also, I believe this is a masterpiece." ”

Andy looked surprised, "Really?

"Or do you think I'm an ardent fighter for the independent film industry? Lan Li asked with a smile.

Andy actually nodded seriously, "I've always thought so. Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen, they always hope that you can get back to Park City again and help take the Sundance Film Festival to the next level. 'Drunken Country Ballad' is just a starting point, and they need more young blood to participate in the production of independent films. ”

Lan Li chewed carefully.

"But if you think about it seriously, you are an actor, a pure actor, and you really don't have much energy for the development of the industry. Showing one's support and affirmation for independent films with practical actions is the best role model power. Andy went on to add, "Just like 'detachment' and 'drunken folk ballads,' your actions themselves are the best support." ”

Since the Heather Cross Foundation, Lanli has understood that the significance of public figures is that their every move can have a strong social impact, whether they are intended or not, bathed in the spotlight, they must have a corresponding burden on their shoulders.

The same is true for the independent film industry.

A smile appeared in Lan Li's eyes, "To be honest, are you Oprah Winfrey, such inspirational words really don't look like my agent would say them." I thought you'd encourage me to take on some commercial films and try to fill my wallet in the best years of my career. ”

Andy again snapped his head in agreement, "Yes, I do. But, as a professional image as an actor, this is also one of your great advantages, like Daniel Day Lewis, I don't want to waste that advantage easily, I am a businessman, I always know how to maximize the benefits. ”

Chi Guoguo's sense of honesty made Lan Li chuckle happily.

"So, if I'm willing to take over now, which one are you going to recommend?" Lan Li inquired curiously.

"Those projects just now?"

"Yes, those projects just now. ”

"'Star Wars'. Almost without any hesitation, Andy blurted out directly, so fast that Lan Li was even slightly frightened, frowning slightly and questioning, "Don't think?"

Andy simply nodded in affirmation, and the hands on his belly were still clapping briskly, as if he was playing drums, "Lan Li, I'm an American, you're British, you don't know the strong influence of 'Star Wars' on American pop culture, this is a symbol of the times, after thirty years of precipitation, all aspects have penetrated into every corner of society, and every actor is eager to be a part of this work." ”

"Not as an actor, but as a fan, it's an honor to just be a part of this work. Andy said frankly, the excitement between his eyebrows could barely be concealed, as if Lan Li had discovered his beloved film project, "I know that if you are involved, more often than not, you may just be reduced to a symbol in the work, and no one can surpass the charm of 'Star Wars' itself, but I still hope you can play it." ”

Just like Natalie Portman, despite starring in the "Star Wars Prequel" series, she can only be regarded as part of the project, and the actor's personal charm is completely lost in the characters and stories.

Lan Li's eyes showed a hint of interest, "This is the first time you have lost your temper since we met. Andy expressed strong doubts, and Lan Li could only change his words and say, "For the gaffe of the film project, because no actor is irreplaceable, and similarly, no film project is irreplaceable, but 'Star Wars' is different." ”

Andy didn't deny it, spreading his hands, "'Star Wars' is the reason I became an agent. I couldn't get involved as an actor because I didn't have the talent, but I always looked forward to being able to be a part of the production. ”

"Harrison's brokerage contract, you took the initiative to get it, right?" Lan Li remembered this incident with a flash of inspiration in his mind.

Harrison Ford, also an actor under Andy.

Rarely, Andy's face showed shy embarrassment, his chubby cheeks flushed slightly, and he scratched the back of his head uncomfortably, "When I first met Harrison, I was like a fanatical star chaser, and I even made a joke. But I'm sure Harrison has long been used to it. ”

From "Star Wars" to "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Harrison is definitely an icon of a generation, and his powerful influence is unparalleled.

Recall that in the previous life, in 2015, the box office miracle created by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" in North America was 936 million US dollars, and it was almost about to become a work in film history with a cumulative box office of more than one billion in a single region.

"But you're not going to star in 'Star Wars,' are you?" said Andy, with a wry smile on his lips after the reminiscences ended.

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders slightly, "For me, the most culturally impactful work is not 'Star Wars,' nor 'Doctor Who' and 'Sherlock Holmes.' He would never tell Andy that it should actually be "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", otherwise it would be revealing the age and age of the match, "But I'm an actor, I'm willing to open up the possibilities, who knows? Maybe I'll be a Jedi, may the Force be with you." ”

"Haha, even though I know you're being polite. But...... May the Force be with you. Andy showed an extremely serious expression, and said seriously, just as performance is to Lan Li, "Star Wars" is the source of enthusiasm for Andy.

Lan Li wasn't sure if Andy would be as angry and saddened as countless loyal fans when Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released in late 2017.
