1556 The chicken dog ascends to heaven

Universal Pictures could have given up on Blue Rite and restarted the "Jurassic Park" project instead, but now the situation is getting trickier and trickier, and they have to take into account the attitude of two super-big producers, Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, to avoid making things desperate.

What's more, today's Lanli is not what it used to be, and its voice and control are different from the past. In the process of increasing the salary this time, both inside and outside, advancing and retreating appropriately, not only the major brokerage companies have contributed to the trouble, but even other film companies have not complained too much, it can be said that Lan Li occupies the "moral high ground", and Universal Pictures is the passive party.

It wasn't a last resort, but Ron Meyer still didn't want to tear his face.

Since cooperation cannot be interrupted for the time being, it is best to continue negotiations.

Now that the relationship between Thomas Toole and Andy Rogers has reached an impasse, simply playing games with numbers and conditions, Universal Pictures can only fall into an unfavorable situation, I am afraid that the salary is not the current number, in order to win more bargaining chips, and in order to ease the state of both sides, it is best to start with Blue Gift.

What's more, Lan Li is the key to the whole thing, as long as Lan Li nods and agrees, Andy will not be a problem.

To put it simply, Universal Pictures believes that Lan Li is a person who values love and he can be impressed, but Andy and Roy are people who value profit, and numbers are the only weapons.

However, now that Lan Li has disappeared, everything is left to Andy and Roy to take care of, and Universal Pictures is suddenly in a predicament. Within a short time, things were at an impasse.

However, Universal Pictures has not moved for the time being, and other producers will not care about the face of Ron Mayer and Thomas Tole, and the eight immortals have shown their own talents, and those producers who are good at drilling camps have targeted Andy and Roy, especially Warner Bros., and even Kevin Hara has become proactive and willing to fall on Thomas Tool at critical moments.

As a result, Andy and Roy became hot. As the so-called seven officials in front of the prime minister, as Lanli's agent and manager, their voice and appeal in the industry are naturally rising. Especially Andy Rogers.

Last summer, Lan Li and Andy's brokerage contracts were about to expire, and there was a wave in the industry, even within the innovative artist agency, and there was infighting.

At that time, Andy was in a situation of being attacked on his back and was embattled. However, Lan Li quickly cut through the mess and directly renewed Andy's contract, not only sorting out all the complicated situations, but also standing up for Andy within the innovative artist agency and establishing Andy's position as a senior partner.

Andy's partnership and personal relationship with Lan Li are absolutely unquestionable.

Now that Lan Li is getting hotter and hotter, after the "Gravity" box office data is released, and looking back at last year's brokerage contract matters, Andy's weight is becoming more and more unusual, and Lan Li still chooses to trust Andy and Roy, and gives them 100% trust to handle everything, which naturally makes them the target of everyone's pursuit.

The phrase "one person who has attained the Chicken and Dog to ascend to heaven" is a bit inappropriate here, because Roy and Andy are not "Chicken and Dog", but the reality is probably so.

Roy had just sat down in front of Andy, and the mobile phones of the two people rang at the same time, and they exchanged a glance, revealing a touch of clarity in their eyes, and then confirmed their mobile phones at the same time, Roy directly cut off the phone, and Andy picked it up, and after a few words, he hung up the phone and explained to Roy, "The notice of the company's afternoon meeting." ”

Roy nodded his head in understanding, then gestured to his phone, frowning slightly and complaining, "Party invitation." God, don't they know that I'm the least party alike?"

Since his time as a public agent in the Screen Actors Guild, Roy has not liked parties, he is a pure otaku who likes to tinker with carpentry and other things at home, and Lan Li has a bedside table made by Roy himself at his home in New York. For him, the work was already very tiring, and he needed a little quiet time for himself.

"This shows that their investigation is still not in place. Andy still has the heart to joke, but the social occasions in the industry are like a fish in water for him.

Everyone is trying to curry favor with Roy and Andy, and then through them to get closer to Lan Li, in fact, not to mention them, even Roy's family and Andy's friends can feel the craze, and relatives and friends have also come around through Facebook, hoping to find a natural common topic.

Roy and Andy are now the hottest party invitees in Hollywood, only seven days a week, but Roy has been able to receive more than thirty party invitations, even if he practices the doppelganger technique, he can't do it all, and now he finally understands what "happy troubles" are.

But for Roy, it's a bit of a courtier.

He knew that he was just a pedal at best, a stepping stone to Lan Li, he would not enjoy it, but seriously check it, in the final analysis, things still need to be decided by Lan Li in the end, and the person who holds the power of life and death is not him.

As he spoke, Roy's phone rang again, this time it was a text message, he just glanced at it, ignored it, and then sighed again, shaking his head helplessly, "Do you know? Now there are women who take the initiative to stick to the door, God, what are they thinking? I'm not Lan Li, can't they see it?"

Andy was not surprised, and said with a smile, "This is Hollywood." After a pause, Andy showed a clear expression and said meaningfully, "Actually, I've always been curious why Lan Li is willing to choose you as a manager, after all, this is a position that needs to be trusted, and now I finally know." ”

Hollywood is a dazzling vanity fair, and the glitz and glamour of the world is really overwhelming, and before you know it, you gradually lose yourself. Actually, this is not a shameful thing, because even saints can hardly escape the grip of their own desires/desires, and this is true of any age and any region, and those colors are so irresistible.

Not to mention actors or directors or producers who stand at the top of the pyramid, even small roles such as managers, assistants, camera assistants, scene reporters, drama teams, etc., they can always become the object of pursuit and flattery, not only because the little ghosts are difficult, but also because they are like small screws, as long as they can find the right position, they can also play a huge role.

In the past, when Roy was a public agent, he would occasionally encounter young actors approaching him on and off, perhaps just for an audition for a movie, but Roy never liked it.

Roy knew that this was the rule of the industry, the rule of society, or the rule of nature, and he had no intention of criticizing or changing it, and he could not do anything on his own, but he also firmly believed that there were countless possibilities for life beyond fame and glamor

When you choose to give up some insistence, even if you can get the desired result, things will never be the same after all. Either choose to persevere and enjoy life, or choose to give up and go on without hesitation. In the end, he struggled and hesitated repeatedly, but he still chose to persevere.

So he resigned, unsure of his future.

It was an accident, but it was also lucky.

Now, Roy, as Lan Li's agent, is once again standing in the whirlpool of Hollywood Vanity Fair, bathed in the focus of countless pursuits and heated discussions, going around in circles, not only did not leave, but also got closer and closer to the center. The only difference is that he can still stick to himself.

In the face of Andy's teasing, Roy pursed his lips, "If you are waiting for me to praise you now, then you are doomed to disappointment." ”

Andy tapped his finger nonchalantly, "I'm just talking about it, you don't have to take it personally." He complained back mercilessly, and then said with great interest, "Have you heard? Now it is rumored in the industry that the two of us are the most difficult targets, and if we can talk to Lan Li directly, then things will be much easier." ”

"......" Roy gave a stunned expression, as if he had just seen an idiot.

This instantly aroused Andy's sympathy, and he nodded again and again with a smile, "Right? These guys are really stupid, they didn't even inquire about things clearly, and they just made a lot of nonsense there." If they dealt with Lan Li face-to-face in person, they really couldn't cry if they wanted to. ”

Roy rolled his eyes, "It's because they're facing us now, so there's still room for maneuver in things, even if they complain, they just complain in private, if it's Lan Li, it doesn't take three rounds, they all lose one by one, they may not even know what happened." ”

"Three rounds? No, I think one round is enough. Andy said.

Roy shrugged his shoulders and complained further, "If you really care, before the duel starts, they have already retreated. It's like right now, aren't they pestering us?"

Recently, Roy and Andy seem to be the hottest existences in the industry, powerful upstarts, and the pickiness and trouble of the two people have also attracted countless criticisms.

But Roy and Andy also have a hard time: everyone thinks that Lan Li is an angel, but only those who really know Lan Li know that things are far from that simple.
