206 Crying and laughing
By the time we got back to the hotel, night had fallen again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info This afternoon, Lan Li watched two more movies, spent more than an hour by the campfire outside town, drank two beers, and argued with the movie lovers...... If it weren't for someone accidentally knocking the barbecue sauce over his clothes, he wouldn't have planned to come back.
Pushing open the door of the hotel room, he didn't come back for two days, but he didn't feel unfamiliar at all, compared to the neat and cold furnishings of the hotel, he still felt that the tents and lawns outside the town were more intimate. When I went to the bathroom to change my dirty clothes, I took a bath and changed a set of clothes, and I felt refreshed, as if I didn't feel tired at all.
Opening the bathroom door, Lan Li saw Andy Rogers sitting on the couch, "Hey. Lan Li raised her hand to say hello, threw the dirty clothes in her hand into the laundry basket, and then rummaged through the closet to find suitable clothes, thinking about which movie she should watch tonight.
Looking at Lan Li, who was complacent, as if he didn't exist at all, this made Andy a little helpless, so he could only take the initiative to start the topic, "How do you feel?"
"Wonderful!" Lan Li did not hesitate and gave a simple but positive evaluation. This is the film festival that he dreamed of in his last life, where all film lovers gather, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, whether they are rich or poor, and who are also knowledgeable, just to exchange their opinions and express their opinions. It's all just about the movie.
Telluride is a mecca for movie lovers.
Andy could taste a hint of excitement in Lan Li's words, which made him wonder, "That's great." I was a little worried that you would look tired after Toronto. ”
"Of course not. Lan Li picked out a dark blue sweatshirt and a pair of light blue jeans. "Do you have any special arrangements for tonight? In the past two days, the reputation of the 'legal copy' has been up and down, and I can't understand what is going on, so I plan to go and see it myself in the evening. ”
This time he came to Telluride, he thought it was about the same as Toronto, so he brought five suits, but only two sets of civilian clothes, but the actual situation was a little unexpected, on the streets of the town, there were really not many people walking in formal clothes.
"I don't have an arrangement for tonight. Andy is still a picture of Maitreya Buddha, sitting on the sofa with a smile, that warm and bright temperament always makes people feel very comfortable, "I originally wanted to invite you to dinner......" The next half of the sentence does not need to be finished, the meaning is already clear.
Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, "You are always welcome to join me in watching movies." I've heard there's a barbecue party outside the town, but I'm not sure if it's dinner or a supper. Are you interested?"
Andy smiled and waved his hand, "I'd better not go to join in the fun, it's a young person's occasion." This self-deprecating ridicule caused Lan Li to laugh directly, "Aren't you curious, why did I suddenly appear in your room?" Seeing that Lan Li had no intention of speaking, Andy could only take the initiative to cut into the topic by himself.
"If there's something, you're going to open your mouth sooner or later, aren't you?" After Lan Li changed his clothes, he wore white socks and walked barefoot on the dark carpet of the hotel room, holding the pair of ginger work boots placed at the door, and sat down to start putting on his shoes. That frank and straightforward appearance made Andy unable to refute, "By the way, I also have something to tell you, before I forget, I determined the next work, and I have negotiated with the director, if the contract is ...... It should be delivered in the evening or tomorrow, so you can take a look at it then. ”
Andy only felt a tightness in his chest, as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in his throat, and even his smile couldn't help but stiffen slightly, "When?" This is the only question Andy can ask.
"Morning. Lan Li slipped the boot on, then added, "Today." ”
Andy only felt his temples start to cramp, and his head ached, "Lan Li, do you know what the agent's job is? Or do you know how capable I am?" He thought it necessary for him to have a formal conversation with Lan Li.
As Lan Li's agent, he didn't play his role at all, it seems to be a complete decoration, and the release and promotion of "buried alive" in the recent period is not his job at all, and the college public relations in the next award season can be regarded as it, but it is not yet time to play. Forget about the previous "buried alive", he missed the process of Lan Li's selection of works, but this time it was the case, which made Andy feel very frustrated.
"It's my job to pick your work, recommend something worth shooting, find someone you want to work with, and pave the way for you to become a top superstar. I have connections in the big six studios, and all the independent studios you can name as well. Andy summed it up as simply as possible, but the strength and domineering in the understatement made Lan Li feel the confidence of a top agent.
"But now, you've bypassed my job and gone straight to the next project. I'm your agent and your spokesperson, and I'm responsible for the selection of your work. Andy in front of him was a little anxious and a little aggrieved, although there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, but it was far from his usual appearance.
Lan Li put on his boots and stepped on the carpet, but his movements couldn't help but stop, and he looked at Andy seriously, "Your job is to find the right project for me, right?" Andy nodded in affirmation, "Your job is to find projects worth investing in for me, right? Your job is to win more benefits for me and have more room for development, right?" Andy nodded again.
"So, isn't it the most perfect result for me to find the perfect project in my mind now, and then hand over the contract negotiation to you?" Lan Li's expression of course made Andy's head hurt even more.
Taking a deep breath, Andy calmed himself down, "Lan Li, I'm not saying that you won the right project, which is wrong in itself, but that you believe in my work and my ability. Otherwise, why would you sign an agent?"
Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he understood what Andy meant.
Since his rebirth, Lan Li has always been alone on the road of his dreams, even if it is Matthew Dunlop, he has not said much, not because he does not believe in others, but because of the miracle of his second life, he does not know how to explain, and he does not know how to move forward, along the way, he has long been accustomed to firmly holding the initiative in his own hands, coupled with the strong opposition of George and Elizabeth, unconsciously, he has become accustomed to fighting alone.
"Whew. Lan Li exhaled lightly and smiled kindly, "I'm sorry, I'm too confident. ”
Without any detours or hesitations, Lan Li calmly admitted his mistake, Andy was stunned, the smile on the corner of his mouth fell under his eyes, and the surging emotions returned to his usual level again, "So, what kind of work is it? You can't wait to follow?"
Judging from Andy's understanding, before Telluride, Lan Li had not made any movement at all, but today he suddenly confirmed the project, if he guessed correctly, it should be the opportunity he encountered at the film festival in the past two days.
"A work that combines 'Before Sunrise' and 'Blue Valentine'. Lan Li tried to find a suitable description, then thought about it seriously, and for the time being, he didn't think of a more accurate word, and nodded in affirmation, "It can be regarded as such, the name is 'Love Crazy'." ”
Andy's eyes lit up slightly, from "Pacific War" to "Buried Alive", it can be seen that Lan Li's vision for selecting works is quite trustworthy.
"Before Sunrise" and "Blue Valentine's Day" are both literary romance movies, to sum up, this is the genre work of the awards season series; and unlike those drama films, the promotion method of love movies is completely different, it can be regarded as a genre film between art and commerce, giving full play to the appearance advantages of actors, testing the commercial market value of actors, in other words, it can become a bridge from artistic actors to commercial actors.
Even if Lan Li doesn't take over this work, Andy will be brewing and looking for a romantic light comedy similar to "500 Days with Shamo" next year to pave the way for Lan Li's career as an actor. Unexpectedly, Lan Li had already done it in one step, which was a small surprise.
However, Andy was not too ecstatic, after all, Lan Li is still too young, and the excellent selection of the two works is likely to be just luck, which is not enough to prove Lan Li's heritage. "What about the script? Can I read the following in advance?"
"I haven't sent it for the time being. Lan Li's nonchalant expression made Andy chuckle in his heart - he nodded and agreed without seeing the script?" ”
"Hmm. Andy groaned meaningfully, "Who wrote the script? Did you talk to the director directly, or did you talk to the producer?
A series of questions were raised, and Lan Li could also sense Andy's concern and urgency, and couldn't help laughing, "I talked directly to the director, Drake Doremus, have you heard of his name?"
Lan Li knew that Andy was going to be disappointed. He was not a famous director, he didn't determine the production company, and he didn't even see the script, so he nodded and agreed. If you look at it from another angle, Lan Li will also feel that this decision is too hasty and impulsive. After all, there's no way to appreciate the advantages of the reborn, isn't it?
Now that he has said it, Lan Li decided to detonate the bomb in one go, "In addition, the salary this time may not be too high, because the production cost is only 250,000." And I am not the only actor, the director said that the salary may only be 20,000 at most. However, the specific conditions still depend on you to discuss, he said, box office dividends are no problem. ”
Andy was stunned, he thought he was going to have a heart attack.
