1058 must not be low-key
After the Toronto Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival have come to an end, this also means that this year's awards season has quietly begun, with the acclaimed "masters" in Venice and the "Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" that won countless applause in Toronto.
I don't know what this year's awards season will look like compared to last year's chaos.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the official Twitter of "Vanity Fair" pushed a message, "The latest news in the industry: Lan Li Hall's latest work is officially finalized, following 'Edge of Tomorrow', Warner Bros. has once again partnered with Lan Li to participate in the new work of Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón whose name has not yet been confirmed." It is rumored that Lan Li will join the new work in the way of the highest salary in the industry. ”
The whole Twitter content is clean and crisp, without any prefix decorations, no inventory of Lan Li's previous works, no titles such as Oscar or Berlin Best Actor, and no mention of the events of this summer, just "Lan Li-Hall", but that's enough.
The official Twitter of "Vanity Fair" did not even have a personal account of Aite Lanli, but just released a message, which instantly ignited the gossip enthusiasm of all netizens on the Internet. Not only because of the "highest salary" mentioned in the tweet, but also because Lan Li will finally return to the crew and shoot a new work.
"Thank goodness. I've been quietly waiting, waiting for the day when the young master will return to the set again, so long, so hard, finally! Now it's finally here! God! Now, the days of waiting are finally no longer so terrible, I can count the time with my fingers, while waiting for the screening of 'Detachment' in North America, while waiting for the young master's new work. The little days suddenly became better. ”
This is an ordinary tweet, from an unknown ordinary netizen, but it was unexpectedly liked by countless netizens, and quickly forwarded and spread, this side can also feel people's expectations for Lan Li.
Less than fifteen minutes after the official tweet of "Vanity Fair" was released, further confirmations from major media outlets have arrived one after another.
Among them, the tweet of "Variety" magazine is undoubtedly the most authoritative, and it is recognized by all industry insiders, which should be the official confirmation.
"New work news: Lanley Hall has officially signed with Warner Bros. and is about to star in a film directed by Alfonso Cuarón, and there is no news update on the other cast cast for the time being. Warner Bros. said it would give Lanli the highest treatment in the industry. Internal staff said that it should be higher than the treatment of the 20 million club, and now the reporter is still waiting for further official confirmation. ”
As a result, the Hollywood industry began to talk about it in a boiling vehe.
After experiencing the North American box office of 550 million on the "Edge of Tomorrow", everyone is curious about Lan Li's next work, and they are also curious about Lan Li's remuneration, which has sparked countless discussions.
It is rumored that the six major Hollywood studios have all taken action, even surpassing Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr., not only because Lan Li is younger and has more outstanding acting skills, but also because of the ice bucket challenge and the huge success of "Les Miserables", which reveals the deep foundation of market appeal in all aspects. This has led to a rise in confidence in the industry to unprecedented heights.
In a trance, the spell of the little golden man has actually been broken.
Under the higher expectations, Lanli's status in the industry has tripled, tripled, or even more, not only in terms of salary, but also in terms of reputation and prestige, all of which have actually broken free from the curse of the little golden man and become the step of Lanli to become a top superstar.
Despite this, people are still curious about what kind of treatment Lan Li can get, and whether Lan Li's new works can continue to work miracles under higher expectations.
Now, Warner Bros. has once again been offered a contract for a new work by Blue Lane. With the blessing of "Edge of Tomorrow", it also means that Barry Meyer may really take the blue gift to the extreme with a stroke of the pen.
From studios to big-name producers, to journalists and behind-the-scenes staff, everyone is talking about the latest news.
At the same time, Universal Pictures also lay down again, because not long ago, "Fast and Thrill/Love 6" was officially announced, which once again awakened people's nostalgia for Lan Li, and they couldn't help but imagine that if Lan Li signed a sequel...... The innocent crew of "Fast and Furious/Emotional 6" really lay down a gun in this incident.
Originally, Warner Bros. wanted to keep a low profile, so that the crew could eliminate all external influences and concentrate on filming, but now it seems that the low-key strategy is no longer working, and Warner Bros. is not continuing to hide and cover, and generously announced the news through the official Twitter.
"Yes, Ranley-Hall signed. ”
A simple and domineering official announcement detonated the enthusiastic reaction of netizens on Twitter, even though there was no further news in this tweet, but it was officially confirmed with an official position, and all the "rumors" were truly implemented.
Immediately afterwards, "Variety" magazine reported in more detail.
"In this work tentatively named 'Gravity', Lan Li will once again challenge the one-man show after 'Buried Alive', and Warner Bros. officially confirmed that the actor was personally selected, personally invited and personally persuaded by director Alfonso Cuarón, who moved Lan Li with sincerity and persuaded the young actor to join the crew. ”
At the moment, Warner Bros. officials have not officially responded to the salary figures. But according to insiders, Warner Bros. was willing to invite Lan Li to star in the work for $20 million, and the final signing figure was only high. ”
In addition, Blue Lane will also appear in the cast as a co-producer, as Blue Lane played an important role in the creation of Edge of Tomorrow, and Warner Bros. affirmed Blue Lane's ability. ”
Three tweets in a row really presented the face of this work, but unfortunately, the salary issue that people are most concerned about, Warner Bros. and Andy Rogers did not respond, and obviously there are no plans to announce it positively. But this is Hollywood, the Hollywood where gossip never stops, and the Hollywood where the flow of news is unbeatable.
Just 24 hours later, the "Hollywood Reporter" released the latest news, answering countless people's curiosity and doubts.
"Lan Li Hall will join the 'Gravity' crew with no base salary, and will receive 12 percent of the box office dividends as an actor and producer, and after the film's peripheral income exceeds 100 million US dollars, Lan Li will also receive a bonus of 3 million.
Once confirmed, it also means that Lan Li officially joins the ranks of Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr., becoming one of the most expensive actors in the industry. ”
In an instant, all eyes gathered. The 12% box office dividend is the top of the top for any actor.
In addition, the peripheral income has always been the film company's own land, and this part of the profit is also the key to the film company's recovery of costs and profitability. Now, Lan Li is able to get a piece of the surrounding income, even if it is not much, this is Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg level treatment.
This is also a treatment that Johnny Depp does not have, and Robert Downey Jr. does not have for the time being - after the "Avengers", innovative artist agencies are bound to start fighting for such treatment for Robert.
It is precisely because of this that although Lanli's remuneration is not a 20 million club in one go, it still caused an uproar in the industry. The conclusion of the "Hollywood Reporter" is the best summary, "one of the most valuable actors in the industry".
After the news was announced, the chatter was endless, and even unbelievable, Lan Li can definitely be said to be a step to the sky, people will not forget, last year, they were still made a fuss because of the "edge of tomorrow" 10 million salary, but surprisingly, surprise is surprise, the general opinion is taken for granted, logical.
After this summer's madness, no one will argue against it, everything falls into place.
As a result, the "Gravity" crew has not even officially started filming, and it has become one of the biggest discussion topics this fall, even faintly surpassing the just-unveiled awards season, which has aroused countless expectations.
Originally, Warner Bros. finally wanted to keep a low profile, but it turned out to be a vigorous and high-profile one. Such a situation is really embarrassing.
Immediately afterwards, the official Twitter of "America Weekly" once again ignited people's curiosity and excitement, "The upcoming filming of 'Gravity' has officially confirmed the heroine, and Rooney Mara is about to partner with Lan Li Hall in this production, which is the first collaboration between the two new generation actors." This week, the crew is heading to the UK to begin filming at a studio in Surrey. ”
The choice of the heroine has been decided!
Rooney Mara, it's Rooney Mara!
Rooney, who shined throughout the awards season last year with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", rose very quickly, and her spiritual performance really made people see her talent, joining the ranks of Gen Y's eye-catching new stars, and began to appear in the ranks of many independent film works one after another.
Strictly speaking, "The Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" are actually works of art of a commercial nature, and the same is true of "Gravity" now, and Rooney's unique temperament is undoubtedly an important addition to the work.
According to reports, Lan Li was once infinitely close to the position of the male protagonist of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", but unfortunately it was not able to make the trip in the end, and the two new-generation actors missed the opportunity to cooperate;
Following Felicity Jones and Jennifer Lawrence, Lan Li is once again working with a new generation of actresses, which is really exciting.
