Lan Li was a little surprised, not by the work of Roy, but by the work of Andy.

This is the first time Lan Li has seen so many scripts, and all of them are scripts for commercial blockbusters, many of which are familiar works, not to mention the quality, nor whether they can be starred, Lan Li also clearly knows that this is just a temptation of intention, not to mention starring, there is still a distance from the audition;

This was the first time Lan Li really felt Andy's ability, and the ability of Andy's innovative artist agency behind him.

As the largest agency in Hollywood today, their connections and resources are undoubted, and thanks to the company's internal resource sharing model, simply put, Harrison Ford can get the resources, Lan Li can also get it, and the new actors can also get the treatment of top actors, the difference is only whether the agent is willing to fight for the actor, of course, the more important thing is whether the producer is willing to give the opportunity.

However, before that, Lan Li's works were still mainly works of art, and the only one "Fast and Thrill/Love 5" was met by chance. The commercial works that really took the initiative to find Lanli were actually only "Thor".

It can be seen that there are brokers and no brokers, top brokers and general brokers, the gap is still very obvious, and those top resources are always concentrated in the hands of these minority elite brokers.

There are a total of nine scripts before and after. Coincidentally, Lan Li has seen all of these nine works in his previous life, and all of them are mainstream works. It is precisely because of this that Lan Li is more and more amazed by Andy's work, and he should reward Andy with a chicken leg another day.

"Andy gave me a total of six scripts before, and the other three were given to me later. However, the Warner Bros. project never appeared, and Andy should continue to talk to them. Roy briefly explained the ins and outs, "Of these scripts, there are two independent film companies, 'Ring Messenger' and 'Oath', and the others are all big six. ”

For actors, who the company they work with is not the most important, in the final analysis, the script, director, and crew members are more important. After all, they basically don't deal with the staff of the film company, and the two sides have no intersection. At least, until you reach the level of Johnny Depp and Tom Hanks.

Lan Li nodded and flipped through the script, "You introduce the introduction." In front of others, Lan Li naturally couldn't show the posture of "I've already seen this movie, I already know this script", while flipping through the script casually, he showed the posture of listening attentively. In fact, he was more curious about Roy's thoughts on the scripts than about the scripts themselves.

Roy sat casually on the sofa, but his back was straight, and the details could be noticed, his concentration and dedication at this time, saw Lan Li first opened the stack of scripts that he shot and killed, the first one was "Snow White and the Hunter".

After sorting out his thoughts, Roy said directly, obviously with a furrow in his chest, "This script is adapted from the original fairy tale, but there is no part worth looking forward to, the so-called adaptation is not painful, and the darkness is not obvious." On top of that, the character itself was so bad that I didn't see any potential for development. I'm not quite sure how they'll cast, but obviously, the hunter isn't the first protagonist. To play a male vase in an idol script? I don't think that's for you. ”

Comments are easy to come by, art is inherently a private matter, some people like it, some people hate it, this is inevitable. The same is true for both the script and the film. Roy's statement so directly is actually a sign of self-confidence.

"I don't know why Andy was taken by this script. I don't know if he got Chris Hemsworth's script wrong. Roy was quick to talk, and he had already finished commenting in a few words, and finally complained about Andy and mocked Chris by the way.

But Lan Li raised his head and glanced at Roy: because in the previous life, it was Chris Hemsworth who finally took over the role.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Roy didn't know why, and met Lan Li's puzzled gaze, "What's the matter?

Lan Li put the script aside, and had no interest in "Snow White and the Hunter" at all, not to mention, this work was full of scandals in the previous life, first it was revealed that the engaged Kristen Stewart and the married director Rupert-Sanders (Rupert-Sanders) stole / fishy, and then the $170 million investment only earned less than 400 million at the global box office, a small loss.

As for quality, Lan Li was impressed with Roy's opinion.

Later, when Universal Pictures decided to make a sequel, everyone fell through their glasses. Sure enough, the sequel suffered even more verbal criticism, and the loss was to the point of internal injury.

Thoughts are thoughts, but Lan Li did not show any traces on his mouth, and said half-jokingly, "It's like every girl has Cinderella's dream in her heart, how can a man reject the title of Prince Charming?"

"Maybe I have one in front of me. Roy's gaze sank slightly, and there was a hint of certainty in the depths of his eyes. This time, Lan Li didn't answer, just smiled, and then Roy saw Lan Li pick up the next script, "This is a pure romantic love movie, adapted from a real story in reality, but I think it's much worse than 'The Love Notebook'." ”

"The Oath", before Lan Li could open the script in his hand, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Roy's bluntness, "Are you inherently rejecting romantic movies? Could it be that your ex forced you to watch too much Nicolas-Sparks?"

Nicholas Sparks is nicknamed "American Qiong Yao" in China, specializing in writing about love, car accidents, terminal illnesses and first love, and almost all of them have been adapted into movies, the most famous of which is "Love Notebook".

Roy shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal, "I just think that you have made such a good love movie as 'Love Crazy', and you need to be more careful when choosing a love story." ”

Then watching Lan Li pick up the script of "Perfect Pitch" again, Roy explained directly and simply, "This is a musical movie dominated by girls, and boys are just vases." Strictly speaking, it's not even a vase, it's just a cameo. What's more, the story doesn't have many highlights, and unless you want to star in a 'Youth Musical', and it's also a backdrop, I'd suggest you skip it. ”

Although Lan Li is only twenty-one years old this year, he is very young, but the campus comedy of high school students is really a little too ...... It's simple, and there's an inexplicable sense of misplace. Even if you want to appeal to the teenage crowd, there are plenty of projects to choose from, such as adrenaline-pumping works like "Fast & Thrilling".

Looking at the smiling expression on Lan Li's face, Roy shrugged, "I think Andy must have taken the wrong script." Even if you want to try musicals, it's not the best option, and there's no need to jump on the bandwagon. The firm tone was full of complaints.

Lan Li can sing, and he sings very well, Roy knows that if he can star in a musical movie, this is indeed to give full play to his strengths, but obviously, "perfect pitch" will not be this choice.

Lan Li deeply felt that if Andy was also there at the moment, it would be very interesting, which was much more fun than flipping through the script itself.

As for the last script of the elimination group, "Detective Jack", Roy's conclusion is also simple and clear, "During the time you were filming, Paramount had already announced the results, Tom Cruise was confirmed to star, and then led his own entire team to take over, from screenwriting to production to actor selection, so, we have missed the opportunity." ”

"I heard that Tom is not satisfied with this script now, and he takes the screenwriter he trusts to overturn and rewrite it all. I can't tell. Roy added.

Despite this, Lan Li unhurriedly flipped through the script of "Detective Jack". In fact, the quality, word-of-mouth and box office of the work itself are average, and even if Tom starring, it still failed to inspire the audience's enthusiasm.

The reason is simple and straightforward, the image of the male protagonist is far from the original book, and even caused a strong protest from fans of the original book, and the final rewrite is quite similar to the male protagonist Ethan Hunter of "Mission Impossible", which is nothing new;

Even if it wasn't Roy, Lan Li didn't have any interest in the four scripts, and he didn't even seem interested in reading them.

But from another point of view, it is very likely that these four scripts themselves are not too optimistic about Lan Li, after all, in terms of roles, weight, and popularity, except for the fact that "Oath" sounds more reliable, the other scripts are actually not very suitable for Lan Li. The reason why these projects are willing to find Lan Li is probably just to join in the fun.

Of course, Lan Li prefers to believe in another possibility: they were purely found by Andy to test Roy.

Because in addition to "Perfect Pitch", the other three scripts, purely in terms of project setting and investment scale, still have a lot of appeal, and the cast of these works in the end also shows this. The project itself is excellent, but it does not mean that it is suitable for every actor, it depends on the judgment of the agent and manager.

As a result, all four scripts were eliminated by Roy.

It can be seen that Roy has read the script carefully, has a basic judgment on the characters and the story, and does not simply refuse because of the theme, style, cast, etc. This is a positive sign, at least, Roy still has a basic understanding of Lan Li's preferences.

Next, Lan Li skipped the uncertainty group and instead reached out to the recommendation group. "Dragon Tiger Junior Team" and "Ring Messenger", Lan Li had a little surprise about Roy's choice, and Andy's choice was also unexpected.

"Of the two scripts, I recommend 'Ring Messenger' even more. Roy didn't pause, he went straight to the point, and his clean answer made Lan Li show a slightly surprised look.
