The importance of casting is self-evident, even Meryl Streep, some roles are not necessarily suitable, Matthew McConaughey is an excellent actor, especially between 2012 and 2014, but he is not the most suitable actor for "Interstellar", from the way of acting to the temperament of the actor, he can not meet the needs of Cooper's role.

In a sense, Lan Li believes that the integrity of the final work of "Interstellar" was destroyed by Matthew's performance. It's not Matthew's fault, it's Christopher's fault because finalizing Matthew is Christopher's choice.

As mentioned before, Christopher is not a director who is good at training actors, and he has his own unique vision for selecting actors, but he is not always successful. On a rare occasion, Christopher wanted to put more weight on the actors, but because of his own judgment error, he led to a certain degree of loss.

Of course, this is just Lan Li's personal opinion. In addition to Lan Li, after the release of "Interstellar", there are still many people who like Matthew's performance very much, thinking that his performance has become the finishing touch of the movie, which is a matter of opinion, everyone's aesthetics and judgments are different.

If it is up to Lan Lili to choose the actors, Cassie Affleck or Christian Bale is a more suitable choice, in addition, Michael Fassbender or Russell Crowe is also a choice worth considering, provided that Russell Crowe is willing to lose weight, and after entering middle age, the fat is too obvious, and the quality of the performance begins to ...... Greasy.

However, having said that, Lan Li himself is not a casting director, nor is he a director, his opinions and opinions may be too taken for granted, but they are not necessarily relevant to the actual situation, just a reference.

Now, Andy mentioned Lan Li in front of Christopher, making Lan Li one of the alternate actors in "Interstellar", which also made Lan Li can't help but think:

Is he suitable?

This was an interesting question, and the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Andy, who was sitting directly opposite, naturally couldn't find out, in a short period of time, Lan Li had already experienced the vicissitudes of life in his mind, he just saw the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth slightly raised, "So, what does this mean? Just because of Christopher Nolan's name, and you didn't even see the script, you have already decided to choose this work?"

"Even if I wanted to join, I think there should be many, many options for Christopher. Lan Li said briskly, although his words were modest, but the calmness hidden in it still revealed a sense of confidence, confidence in his own strength, "However, I don't think it's the best choice." ”

"Why?" Andy felt more and more strange, if it weren't for the fact that Lan Li's tone was not anything unusual, he would almost have thought that Lan Li lacked confidence now, which was really abnormal, "If you say Nightcrawler, you think Jack is more suitable, at least you read the script, but Christopher's project, why? I don't think he can find a better fit than you." ”

"I think so, and we're looking forward to it now, and Christopher thinks the same way. Lan Li also realized that he had read the script "in advance", obviously Andy didn't know much about the characters and the script now, so he was naturally confused, so he took the topic just now in a vague tone.

Aside from the performance style and character image, Lan Li's biggest disadvantage is age:

In November of this year, he had just turned 24 years old, and even if he counted his imaginary age, he was only 25 years old.

The core theme of "Interstellar" is time, and the power contrast between age and years is a crucial part.

Before Cooper left home, the son and daughter were teenagers, Timothy Charamet who played his son Tom was eighteen years old, his daughter Murphy Mackenziefoy was thirteen years old, and Matthew McConaughey, who played Cooper, was forty-two years old.

During Cooper's space expedition, his son and daughter became adults, Cassie Affleck, who played adult Tom, was thirty-eight, and Jessica Chastain, who played adult Murphy, was thirty-six.

Cooper returns to the base of human existence, and the son and daughter are old, William Devane Devane, who plays the elderly Tom, is seventy-four, and Alan Posdean, who plays the elderly Murphy, is eighty-one.

It can be easily seen that the age of the actor is not completely fixed, but it still intercepts an age zone, when he first appears, Cooper should be about forty years old, and the minimum age should be thirty-five, and then Cooper has always maintained the same state, but his son and daughter have been growing, first in the middle of their thirties, and then in their old age, and then in their old age.

Of course, all of this data can be modified.

But in Lan Li's opinion, the minimum age to play Cooper should be maintained around thirty to thirty years old.

Childhood sons and daughters can be reduced a little older, for example, sons are fourteen and fifteen years old, and daughters are ten years old, so it makes sense for teenagers who get married and have children after graduating from high school.

Compared with the middle-aged Tom and Murphy, Cooper is close to their age, which can create the sense of chaos caused by time travel, Cooper who was supposed to be a father is now facing the same midlife crisis as Tom and Murphy, so the actor should be similar to Cassie and Jessica.

As for the elderly Tom and Murphy, the impact is not too great, and in the final analysis, Cooper, as a father, has become a junior. This creates the greatest emotional impact.

"Interstellar" is different from other movies, the power of time represented by age is the core theme, if you don't want to completely change the actors, then it is most appropriate to choose actors between the ages of thirty and forty-five, which also makes Lan Li's youth a fatal shortcoming, if the entire crew is required to re-select the cast according to Lan Li's age, it is also unrealistic

As I said before, Hollywood's main actors are concentrated between the ages of 30 and 45, and there are really many actors in their early twenties like Lan Li, but their strength, ability, and opportunities, etc., are all marginalized people, and it is extremely difficult to select a group of outstanding third-tier and fourth-tier actors;

Even if Christopher were willing, neither the production company nor the investment company would be willing.

In other words, Lan Li's participation in the performance is definitely difficult, as he said: he is not the best choice.

The choice of Matthew was a casting mistake, so is the choice of Lanli another casting mistake?

Lan Li couldn't answer it herself.

Andy looked at Lan Li carefully, and then he had a flash of inspiration, thinking that he understood Lan Li's concern, and gently bowed his head in agreement and expressed his opinion.

"Now Warner Bros. is really a problem. Christopher has not yet decided whether this work is invested by Warner Bros. or Legendary Pictures, I don't know the content and terms of his contract, presumably, Kevin Tsujihara and Thomas Turre will definitely not give up easily, and the next exchange of interests is also a headache. ”

Obviously, Andy's understanding went in the wrong direction, but Lan Li didn't correct him either, and it's good that such a beautiful mistake was made.

"To be honest, I don't know if I should want Warner Bros. to win the rights or Legendary Pictures. Andy sighed softly, in the face of such a giant-level confrontation, Andy's power as an agent is really limited, "Kevin Tsujihara and Thomas Toul, neither of them are easy to get along with. ”

"They're producers, I'm actors, and at the end of the day, actors are still working with directors, and as for producers, they can't just want to squeeze the cost of their salary. I don't think there should be any contradiction between us. Lan Li is a broad-hearted person, obviously the "Jurassic Park" restart project is being pressed by Thomas, and now "Interstellar" may face Thomas's suppression, but he still has no burden.

Andy shook his head helplessly, "If you have the opportunity to talk about this, I mean, in the face of Steven Spielberg or Christopher Nolan, please be sure to insist on 20 million salaries and box office dividends, okay? I need your cooperation, I need you to declare your position to those authoritative directors, and I need those directors to put pressure on Thomas Tur and Kevin Tsujihara." ”

Lan Li raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, not speaking, but a smile on his face was the best answer.

If it was something else, Andy would have taken it directly, but the issue of salary is really crucial, and Andy also understands Lan Li's personality, and he doesn't have any idea about salary at all, so he has to mention it again and again now.

"Lan Li, I'm serious. If you choose Nightcrawler, that's fine, even if you cut your pay to star, I won't say anything at all, but if you choose Christopher Nolan or Jurassic Park, then I need you to be on my side. ”

After EGOT, Lan Li chose the "Burst Drummer", because he is also a producer, so the salary is not the focus of attention at all, and there is nothing worth discussing, but now that he has the opportunity to choose a commercial film, Andy will definitely not let go easily.

Even if "Gravity" has not been released for the time being, the box office performance is unknown, but, in Andy's view, the 20 million club plus box office dividends is what Lan Li deserves.

Reject the 20 million club? This is also no problem, just increase the proportion of box office dividends. It's not because Andy is confident in Lanli's market appeal, but because it's an important reflection of Lanli's status in the industry: he doesn't care about the potential risks that need to be taken at the box office, and he doesn't care about the number of final dividend profits, the important thing is that Hollywood must recognize Lanli's first-line status.

This is what Andy is fighting for Lan Li, even in the face of Warner Bros., even in the face of Thomas Toul, he will definitely not back down easily.

Lan Li could feel Andy's solemnity, and he didn't continue to joke, and simply replied in the affirmative, "Okay." ”
