1754 The lion opens

"They don't know anything about Sundance. ”

Andy suddenly realized that he couldn't think, and the words that blurted out were, "That'...... So what should I do?" The stupid reaction made him hold his forehead a little.

Lan Li put down the coffee cup, "Andy, what was the first thought you had when you first heard about those plans?"

"You're crazy. Without any hesitation, Andy answered directly.

Lan Li didn't mind at all, nodded and gave affirmation, "Yes." Who would have imagined that a non-existent Sisyphus Film would suddenly burst out and be ready to upset the industry landscape? Even when DreamWorks was founded, they didn't get enough attention from the industry. ”

In fact, even now, Andrei is not very convinced that things can be achieved, because the difficulty is too great. But AndrΓ© is not a personality who gives up easily, whether things can be done or not, you always have to try before you know the answer, and giving up before you start is not his philosophy of life.

What Lan Li means is that even if Disney snooped on Sisyphus Pictures' ambitions, they wouldn't think it was a worthy rival to be taken seriously, and even Netflix has not been able to fully attract the attention of the six major studios now, otherwise Disney wouldn't have dragged its feet until 2017 to really face up to its streaming platform.

In other words, Lan Li's answer to Bob's "producer offer" through "schedule constraints" is actually a potential statement: Sisyphus Pictures needs to be paid more attention

Even if Lan Li becomes the producer of Disney works in the future, it is bound to be a cooperation between Sisyphus Pictures and Disney. However, Disney will not consider Sisypheus Pictures a threat in the short term, but will equate Lanli with Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg and others, replacing the partnership between individuals and companies, and instead of fighting for more rights and interests with the company-to-company partnership, naturally, Bob is bound to change the terms of cooperation.

If it is a cooperation between Sisyphus Pictures and Disney, Blue Gift is indeed willing to produce several film works for Disney as a producer, and then further open up the situation for Sisyphus Films. Disney is using Blue Gift at the same time, Blue Gift can also use Disney, and both sides have their own calculations.

As Andy said, Lan Li's way of thinking and architectural blueprint have gotten rid of the level of actors and agents, and Bob can expand the layout on an equal footing, which is the essential difference in position and vision.

"So, not only will Bob not be wary of us, but he will also adjust the partnership strategy according to our plans, and maybe it will be good for Sisyphus Pictures. Lan Li completed his words.

Andy was no longer shocked now, and paused slightly, "Didn't you say that you lack the big picture?" But why do things seem to be something else now?

"Yes, I do lack the big picture. I'm just able to talk on paper, but in practice, my ability is zero, and it's possible to toss a grand plan directly into garbage with a loss of 10 billion. Lan Li was not shy or embarrassed at all, and calmly admitted his shortcomings, "All the plans now look beautiful, but to what extent they can be implemented is not something I can decide." ”

"......" Andy opened his mouth slightly, "then who decides?"

"Andrey. With Dalmore whisky in his hands, the market share has steadily increased by 20 percent, and it has also successfully broken the elite platform and formed a brand effect. In fact, it was less than three years since he actually took over the management and operation work. "In addition, Arthur, Matthew, Eaton, and Alexander will also come over to help." Oh, by the way, Alexander is Andrei's older brother, he doesn't have much time, but he still has no problem as a consultant. He's a talent!"

Andy couldn't help but laugh, "I think you're also a talent." ”

So, when he personally rushed to the pioneer village in New York, what kind of monster did he excavate?

The amount of information is somewhat overwhelming.

Andy was quietly lost in thought, gently patting his beer belly with his hands, the steady rhythm of which made his thoughts gradually clearer.

In fact, there is basically no problem with the cooperation of "Rogue One".

Since Bob wants to take advantage of Lan Li's "undefeated aura", Andy can also use his strength to fight further to see if the salary can be raised a little more, and he can also start the game again about the negotiation of the producer and the follow-up cooperation. But these are small issues that will not affect the general direction of the partnership.

It is estimated that in the next period of time, Disney will release rumors one after another and begin to carry out advanced publicity activities for the "Rogue One" project.

Following Sony Classics and Warner Bros., Disney has also entered the game smoothly, and, in recent days, there have been rumors about the awards season in the industry, Harvey Weinstein and Thomas Toole seem to have gone all the way, and they have formed a kind of opposition with Warner Bros., for the sake of "gravity" award season prospects, Warner Bros. has begun to make moves.

This also means that the layout for Universal Pictures, Vin Diesel, and Thomas Turr has reached the closing stage.

It's amazing that it's been less than two months since the start of the Blue Ceremony layout and the initial results, and it's even entangled with the progress of the awards season, but that's not the end of it, and then, aside from Vin Diesel and Thomas Tour, there's clearly a bigger picture for the Blue Ceremony

Sisyphus Pictures.

If Sisyphus Pictures can develop smoothly, this will undoubtedly be another improvement for Lan Li's status in the industry, especially with the support of the independent film field, then Lan Li's voice will rise to a new level again, which will also put further pressure on Universal Pictures, and more importantly, Lan Li's career will also open up a new situation.

As for the actor's own job, Andy is not worried at all, no one can change Lan Li's original intention and heart.

"So, is there anything I can help with now?" Andy had completely calmed down at this time, and once again returned to his usual appearance of being in control of the overall situation, his thin eyes narrowed into a slit again, and he looked at Lan Li seriously, "Honestly, even if I don't come tonight, you're going to look for me, right?"

"You're my agent, isn't it natural to ask you about work?" Lan Li smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly.

Andy tilted his head and nodded lightly in affirmation, "Flattered." But there was no element of "surprise" in that calm tone, and then he said seriously, "I feel like I'm on a thief ship now, I always thought that I chose to be your agent, but now it doesn't seem right." ”

"You can regret it anytime now. Lan Li's indifferent response made Andy chuckle, "If you get off the boat now, it's safe, but the scenery of the subsequent voyage will be missed, what a pity." Even if it's a thief ship, I feel like I should keep going. ”

Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips, "Then welcome aboard." I have a copy of all the projects that the innovative artist agency has on now, including films and TV series, and there are no problems with short films and documentaries. ”

Even though Andy was mentally prepared, he was surprised again when he heard Lan Li's understated tone, "You know what a huge number this is. ”

Even now, more than 50 projects have been invited to Lanli, and the projects of the entire innovative artist agency have increased by at least ten times. Although the agency is not a film company, and there are not thousands of projects, in order to find suitable projects for their artists, they also collect all kinds of projects all year round to find investment opportunities.

The projects in question are not projects like "Jurassic Park" or "Rogue One", which are in the hands of big studios, but projects like "Detachment" and "Burst Drummer", which are always looking for investors, and through the hands of producers, all over Hollywood, waiting for their own Bole.

Of course, if a commercial work like "Rogue One" is willing to openly look for actors, then it will also be handed over to major agencies.

Lan Li shrugged slightly, "No, I don't know. But...... Surprise me. ”

Andy let out a long breath, "Okay, I got it. If you need to mobilize resources, you should know what's going to happen next, right?"

"Of course. Lan Li nodded in agreement, "If Sisyphus Pictures decides to invest in the project, it will definitely give priority to the actors under the innovative artist agency." However, I still have some hesitation about packaging cooperation, and you can discuss the specific details internally, and then we can sit down and discuss. ”

Using Andy to mobilize the energy of the entire innovative artist agency is also Lanli's plan. Since the plan is to be magnificent, the configuration must also keep up, otherwise it will just be your own wine, and it will be just child's play.

Andy didn't say anything more, "Okay, I got it." ”

"During this time, I will go through the script project carefully. By the way, if there is a project that is worth recommending to me, please bring it along with you. 'Rogue One' is estimated to start filming at the end of the year, and maybe even next year, I'm not in a hurry to take on a new project, but I don't mind if it is suitable. Lan Li added.

Sure enough, as Andy expected, Lan Li still maintains a passionate heart for his career as an actor.

After the dubbing of "Super Marines" ended, Lan Li had no work in hand for the time being, and "Rogue One" still needed to think about it in the long run, which also meant that he had at least half a year of free time, and he could choose to rest or challenge other roles. Lan Li maintained its openness.
