1557 Cat and Mouse

Everyone thinks that Lan Li is an angel, but in fact......

It's not that Lan Li is a demon, it's just that Lan Li is indeed not an innocent and kind angel.

Now the whole of Hollywood is gradually beginning to understand Lan Li - here talking about industry insiders, not lay audiences, in the general impression of professionals, Lan Li is an amiable, approachable gentleman, whether it is to promote the little-known Damien Chazelle, or ignore the influence of the salary and subject matter to play "detachment", all aspects can be felt, this is a work and role-oriented actor.

As for the wisdom and cunning in the face of media reporters, this is completely a display of personality charm, not only does not affect the impression, but makes people appreciate it more and more.

Admittedly, this is true.

But only those who really understand Lan Li understand that this is only one side, they don't see the cramped feeling brought about by Lan Li's pickiness and strictness, they don't feel the oppression brought about by Lan Li's sophistication and wisdom, and they don't understand the fear brought about by Lan Li's decisiveness.

All the works and characters seem to have nothing to hide in front of Lan Li, any project is placed in front of Lan Li, whether it is good or bad, Lan Li's judgment benchmark will never change, even if the producer and director say that it is useless. For performances and roles, Lan Li has no room for manoeuvre.

Unlike Andy and Roy, they judge the quality of a work, and they need to consider it again and again, thinking from many aspects such as the subject matter, the character, the cast, the director, etc., and every judgment must be cautious and cautious, which also leaves room for the producers to negotiate - at least the two sides still have a chance to make a move.

To put it simply, in the face of Andy and Roy, they still have a chance to make a move, but in the face of Lan Li, they don't even have a chance.

It's like Universal Pictures.

If Andy negotiated, Thomas Toole's calculations, and Ron Meyer's avoidance, Andy could still mediate, and the matter could still be discussed, but if Lan Li had come forward, it was likely that the matter would have ended a few months ago, and now the relationship between Universal Pictures and Lan Li will also be deadlocked.

Lose both?

From the outside world's point of view, this is correct, Lan Li and Universal Pictures have offended each other and cut off future cooperation opportunities, and in the long run, Lan Li as an actor suffers even more.

But Andy and Roy know that the so-called "injury" must have a premise, that is, they care about the benefits brought by this relationship, and Lan Li will never care, that is, Universal Pictures is hurt, but Lan Li doesn't care. As for the long-term aspect. Looking at the current "gravity", it is not yet known who will lose more.

Therefore, Universal Pictures should be glad that Andy still has not completely torn his face, but just stayed in a stalemate, not Lan Li completely cut off all possibilities.

But...... No one can see through Lan Li's "true face", even Andy and Roy have to sigh that Lan Li's disguise is really too perfect! From this point of view, in fact, Lan Li is a demon.

Now those rumors in the outside world, Andy and Roy can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, they can't take the initiative to discredit their actors, just to bleach agents and managers, not to mention, they must be careful to check all projects and works, otherwise when they stand in front of Lan Li to discuss the project in the future, they will not be able to convince Lan Li, they will only put themselves in a bad situation, and they will be the most humiliating at that time.

They knew better than anyone how difficult Lan Li was to be a person.

Roy and Andy had just said a few words, and they had already found resonance with each other, which made Andy chuckle and said happily, "However, it is the job of agents and managers to carry the black pot for actors, and we really have no right to complain." "Although the pot is really big now.

Roy thought about it seriously, "That's the same, if it's Lan Li, it is estimated that half of Hollywood will be offended by him now." The expression of the serious complaining was extraordinarily focused.

Andy suddenly raised his head and looked behind Roy with a stunned expression, his eyes showing a panicked expression, but Roy didn't buy it at all, and Shi Shiran picked up the coffee cup in front of him, "It's better to forget such a clumsy prank, that is, it's okay to deceive Nathan." ”

Apparently, Andy was playing tricks on Roy, trying to create the illusion that Lan Li was standing behind Roy, as if they had been caught speaking ill of Lan Li on the spot.

Roy won't be fooled easily, though. First, Lan Li is now in Canada, and he has just joined the "Interstellar" crew, how can he appear in Los Angeles? Second, even if Lan Li really suddenly appears, he will not mind, for these innocuous "bad words", Lan Li just laughed away.

Andy didn't panic, he was still unmoved, quietly closed his open mouth, and tried to make a look of "I'm pretending to be calm", and then secretly looked behind Roy with his eyes, as if Lan Li was really standing behind, just calming him down with his eyes.

For a moment, Roy was almost fooled.

But then Roy caught the stiffness and deliberateness in Andy's expression, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and complained directly without mercy, "You should be glad that you are an agent and not an actor, your acting skills are really terrible, please don't try to imitate Lan Li's performance, God, the quality of your performance is really too bad." ”

Roy's full-fledged spit made Andy laugh dumbly.

Roy's words were not over yet, "I still have no way to understand the reason why Lan Li chose you as his agent. Didn't Lan Li never say that you are like a child?"

Roy says Andy is like a child, but why shouldn't he be - this sentence is obviously revenge for Andy's same complaint just now. Not to be outdone, they are still fighting back.

After all, his prank was discovered, and there was still a gap between Andy's Taoism and Lan Li's, but Andy was not annoyed, his hands were on his chubby beer belly, and his back was comfortably leaning on the back of the chair, "Didn't Lan Li never say that you don't have any sense of humor?" ”

"Huh. Ha. It's as if Lan Li needs more humor. Roy laughed dryly, and retorted with a non-smirk.

Andy also squeezed out a hypocritical smile, "But I'm sure that Lan Li can really use some childishness." ”

Two middle-aged people over forty years old, but like kindergarten children, quarreling over a "lollipop", it is really a stumbling glass, not to mention that the two of them are now the absolute center of the whole Hollywood, I don't know what those producers can feel, but if Lan Li really appears, he will not feel unusual, because this is the daily level.

Sometimes, Lan Li can't help but have an illusion, the two people look like high school students who haven't grown up, God knows why they are always-for-tat, not the kind of friendship and laughter and scolding, but really don't show signs of each other, just like "cat and mouse", but he can't tell who is Tom and who is Jerry.

Accustomed to the two of them bickering next to him, Lan Li was able to relax, but unfortunately, he was indeed not in Los Angeles now, and there was no way to watch this good show on the spot.

After finishing the "Gravity" promotional trip, Lanli arrived in Alberta, Canada, non-stop, and joined the "Interstellar" crew who arrived at the filming base ahead of schedule, ready to start a new job.

As we all know, Christopher Nolan hates green screens so much that he won't use them as long as he can shoot them, and if he can't shoot them, he will build a model or a studio, and use half real shots and half computer special effects, and if he can't even build a model, he will probably think of other ways.

In Christopher's view, green screen shooting can indeed bring imagination to the extreme, except for the actors, all scenes are imaginary, and computer special effects can be completed, just like in Marvel movies such as "The Avengers", not to mention super scenes such as the Battle of New York, even the battles between characters and characters may be filmed separately, and the actors do not know who the opponent actor is in the process of acting.

But at the same time, it also lacks realism. No matter how realistic the computer special effects are, they are ultimately computer-made pictures, and the distortion of details is a fatal loss for the viewing effect. What's more, the actors' performances are also not realistic, and there may even be low-level mistakes that are rigid and out of focus.

Christopher thinks green screen shooting is ruining the film industry — but his ideas are conservative, and the huge commercial success of Marvel movies is a testament to the huge potential of special effects films, but Christopher remains unfazed and insists on doing it his own way.

It is because of Christopher's insistence that his work also presents countless whimsical ideas, such as the folding of Paris in "Inception", which is shot with a miniature model, then simulated in the studio, and then performed by the actors, and finally the two are combined to create the effect seen on the big screen.

Shooting methods such as these, retro and solid, novel and subtle, really present the uniqueness of film art.

This time, the shooting of "Interstellar", because many of the shots involved space and other planetary images, but Christopher still did not compromise, and selected different shooting locations around the world to meet different shooting needs, even the plot details such as wormholes and universes were also taken into account, and the shooting was completed in a combination of real scenes and special effects as much as possible.

The "Interstellar" crew has traveled all over the world, and Alberta is the first stop after the start of filming.
