676 Internal scandals
At the premiere of this year's "Fast & Furious/Emotional 5", Lan Li half-jokingly referred to Gale as his gossip object, but by mistake, it was Ryan Gosling who appeared in sight, and the humorous effect created was even more hilarious. From this side, it can be seen that Lan Li and Gail have a good relationship, and even such a joke is harmless.
In the movie, Giselle played by Gail and Han played by Cheng Kang came together, although this couple did not have many scenes, but they really attracted many fans. Gail and Lan Li don't have a direct rivalry, but as Lucinda said, one is a heroic "villain" and the other is a hard-nosed "detective", and just making up the rivalry between the two is enough to make people curious.
Lan Li was absent from the production of the sequel to "Fast and Furious/Emotional", but if Lan Li and Gail can re-team up in "Edge of Tomorrow", it will be enough to be an important publicity point.
As for Jennifer, there is no need to go into details, the still popular "Love is Crazy", people witness the heartbreaking love between Jacob and Anna, and at the same time deeply feel the powerless fate between Jacob and Sam. The reason why this movie was able to create such a good result, the delicate and real performances of several actors are undoubtedly the biggest contributors, and almost every audience has their own point of view -
Some people are lamenting Jacob and Anna's sadness, and naturally some people are lamenting Jacob and Sam's miss. If Jacob chooses to be with Sam and Anna chooses to be with Simon, whether the ending of the story will be different is undoubtedly the most discussed topic on the Internet, and even a small debate was launched on the "Ellen Show" show.
In addition to Lan Li and Felicity, Lan Li and Jennifer's first big screen collision has also received countless praises, the delicate and real performance is sad, and the chemistry between the two actors has also sparked a lot of discussions.
Now, among the new works, Lan Li and Jennifer hope to work together for the second time, and this time, it will burst out to make up for the regret left by "love is crazy". Needless to say, from a propaganda point of view, Edge of Tomorrow has already gained an advantage at the starting line.
After the project was confirmed, the "Edge of Tomorrow" was never optimistic, and the mainstream media's verbal criticism was simply unpopular. From the perspective of production, the lack of enough big names to join, the topic is bound to fall into a greater dilemma; from the perspective of investment, there is a lack of enough convincing, in addition to the investment of 100 million US dollars, not to mention continue to increase investment, it may also reduce investment; from the perspective of publicity, in this turbulent sea, the crew really lacks more powerful topics.
"Edge of Tomorrow" is a commercial film, and the process of preparing for production is very different. In the past, when filming "Anti-Cancer Me" and "Detachment", the crew was trying to avoid media disturbance and interference as much as possible, and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the production work, but this is an art film; for commercial films, daily publicity and daily exposure are all necessary links in the early stage of publicity.
So, while the work was still in the conceptual stage, Lucinda had already begun to consider it in a market-oriented way: Gail and Jennifer, both of whom had more commercial potential than Telisa.
Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth, with an innocent expression on his face, and then said seriously, "I thought that the selection of actors was judged by strength. That's why they participated in two rounds of auditions. ”
"No, it's not. Lucinda shook her head categorically, "Beauty, that's one thing, there's the propaganda explosion, and the chemistry, that's it." This is a commercial film, acting prowess? What is it, can it be eaten?"
Lan Li was dumbfounded, his eyes full of confusion, "Then what is going on with the seven rounds of auditions I received before? I am beginning to doubt life now, am I not attractive enough?" The serious, focused and deep tone made Paul and Tim next to him stunned, and even Derek and Billy, who were discussing in a low voice, were also frightened, and raised their heads with blank faces, looking left and right.
Lucinda was also taken aback at first, because Lan Li's expression was too sincere to be joking at all, and she thought that she had hurt Lan Li. But immediately, she saw Lan Li's expression calm. Yes, it's calm, no anger, no sadness, no depression, it's calm. Calm, placed in the here and now, also means...... Joke.
"Lanli-Hall!" Lucinda grinded her teeth and shook her fist, "I'm going to have a heart attack! Jesus Christ!"
The others didn't know why, but Paul reacted, patting his thigh and laughing sullenly, and after a while, Billy understood the ins and outs, shook his head slightly, patted Derek on the shoulder, and motioned for him to retract his attention and get back to work.
Tim was alone, confused.
After laughing, Lucinda still stared at Lan Li, it seemed that she would never give up without getting an answer.
"Jennifer Lawrence. Lan Li didn't beat around the bush and just said what she thought, "Jennifer is a very talented actor, and during the performance, we can communicate with each other and learn from each other, which is really amazing. At the beginning, I didn't have much competition with her in 'Love is Crazy', but I was always looking forward to a second chance to work together. ”
Among the many candidates, the first one that comes to mind is indeed Jennifer. However, it is not for business reasons. Until now, Lan Li can recall the clips when he was filming "Love is Crazy", the feeling of learning from each other, confronting each other, and exploring each other. Of course, this time it is no longer an art film, but a commercial film, and the performance methods are naturally different, and it is impossible to carve too carefully, but Lan Li is still looking forward to the arrival of cooperation again.
"My problem is ......" Lan Li shook his head helplessly as he looked at Lucinda's meaningful smile, he knew what Lucinda's smile meant - scandal.
In fact, the general public has such an illusion, the scandals are fabricated and coaxed by the paparazzi, and the paparazzi are the root of all evil, but in fact, more than 90% of the scandals are spread by insiders first, and then enter the ears of the paparazzi. Not to mention Lucinda, even Paul and Tim looked at Lan Li with that meaningful look.
This is very good, the heroine has not yet been determined, and the scandal is already on the road of concoction.
Lan Li didn't defend himself, but continued, "My question is, if it's Jennifer, will the audience think it's another 'Hunger Games'?"
Lucinda was stunned, Paul was stunned, and Tim was stunned. In the end, Tim was the first to resist and asked, "What do you mean?"
"You know, the young male protagonist, the young female protagonist, and then the adaptation, the science fiction story, the post-apocalyptic story, for the audience, it's actually the same set. Lan Li shrugged his shoulders after speaking, "So, is there any difference between our market positioning and 'The Hunger Games'? However, I don't know much about marketing and marketing, it's just a theory. ”
Lucinda exchanged glances with Paul and Tim, and they all fell silent. I have to admit that Lan Li's concern is correct: the market positioning of "Edge of Tomorrow" and "The Hunger Games" is different, but the choice of actors is obviously juvenile, will this affect the audience's judgment?
This is a bigger game of chess, and they need to think about it in the long run, Lucinda thought for a moment, looked at Lan Li, and said seriously, "But, if it's Jennifer, you don't have a problem, right? I mean, the actor's position, and the executive producer's position." ”
"Yes, of course, I'm looking forward to working with Jennifer again. Lan Li knew what kind of bomb he had dropped, but he still gave his opinion, "This is true as an actor, and it is the same as an executive producer." ”
In 2012, "The Hunger Games" was undoubtedly a phenomenal work, with a box office of 400 million in North America, and also won the positive affirmation of film critics, changing the dilemma that the better the "Twilight Zone" sold and the more fierce the scolding, and together with "The Avengers" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", it became a phenomenal work of the year.
Now, the Edge of Tomorrow is likely to be on the verge of joining the fray, advancing from 2014 to 2012, and no one can be sure what will happen next.
"But ......," Lan Li said, and Lucinda shook exaggeratedly, with a hellish expression on her face, which made Lan Li laugh a little, "Don't worry, it's not another bomb." I just wanted to ask, is Jennifer okay with her schedule? The last time I spoke to her on the phone, she was filming a new David-O-Russell play. ”
Because of the matter at Mount Sinai Hospital, Lan Li would occasionally text Jennifer to exchange information about the current situation and ordinary friends.
Not long ago, Jennifer joined the crew of "The Line of Happiness Behind the Dark Clouds". This film directed by David was originally scheduled to star Anne Hathaway, but it clashed with the schedule of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight Rises", which had to give up, and then went through Rooney Mara, Elizabeth-Banks (Elizabeth-Banks), Olivia Wilde (Olivia-ilde), and the role finally fell into the hands of Jennifer.
Like Lan Li, Jennifer is also the hottest actor in the industry now, and her itinerary is full. Just look at Lan Li, "Detachment" has only been completed for less than two months, and "Edge of Tomorrow" is on the agenda again, and so is Jennifer.
Lucinda rolled her eyes and complained, "I thought you were going to say that you and Jennifer are already dating, so it's forbidden to hype up the scandal." The appearance of full fire made Lan Li chuckle again, "Regarding the issue of schedule, this is indeed something that needs to be considered. Anyway, leave the matter to us. I'll keep you updated anytime you have any situation. ”
