As he spoke, the subway arrived. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lan Li and Andy walked out of the subway station together, and this time, Andy did not continue to follow Lan Li, but stopped at the side of the road.

Lan Li took two more steps forward, only then did he realize that Andy had fallen behind, and when he turned around, Andy's kind smile came into view, "So, what do you think, it's up to me to plan your future movie journey." After a tirade just now, after two meetings, Andy expressed his intentions clearly and accurately for the first time, "I am a top agent, I have resources that ordinary people can't reach, I have professional knowledge and blueprint planning, give me three years, I guarantee that you can become a real top star." You know what I mean by 'star'. ”

Confident, unhurried, and even with a bit of humor, Andy has all the charm of an agent.

At this time, there were several black people passing by, they should be on their way to work, watching Lan Li and Andy standing face to face at the exit of the subway station, one in a straight suit, one in a street dress, one looks like a Wall Street elite, and the other looks like a hip-hop person who is keen on graffiti art, looking like a lawyer and a bad teenager who frequently goes in and out of the juvenile detention center. Such a normal and abnormal combination, almost everyone involuntarily cast their eyes.

In particular, Andy's scolding posture has attracted a lot of attention - as if he is looking at a neuropathy.

Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, "Can you believe it? They must be looking for the cameras around them right now. "In New York, there are countless cases of movies being shot on the streets.

Andy spread out his hands, his face was full of calmness, he was not distracted by Lan Li's jokes, and waited for Lan Li's answer wholeheartedly.

Lan Li knew that Andy's words were very convincing, which not only showed that Andy's business ability, negotiation ability and language organization skills were very good, but also showed Andy's sincerity, obviously he had done his homework in advance, and specialized in studying Lan Li's recent movements and preferences.

From these two points alone, Andy has stood out from all the agents who have contacted him so far, and with the background of an innovative artist agency, Lan Li has no reason to turn him down.

If it was someone else, it would probably be a direct nod, but Lan Li is not someone else.

Hollywood is an extremely realistic circle, and if it is profitable, it will have the right to speak, and it can be thrown away after use, and the Hollywood reality reflected in movie works such as "Sunset Boulevard" and "Comet Beauty" is just the tip of the iceberg.

For most people, the agent can be changed at any time, they can sign an agent first, and then get rid of the agent after one step, there is no problem at all, but Lan Li does not want this, because he has a clear goal and a clear concept of the selection of works, so he hopes to find a suitable partner, and then go all the way together.

It can be said that he is idealistic, it can be said that he is cautious, and it can also be said that he does not measure himself. However, Lan Li wants to test it again.

"I'm a very picky person. Lan Li spoke, the smile on his lips rising a little, "Or more accurately, I'm a very troublesome person. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" asked Andy, interestedly.

Lan Li shrugged, "For example, I don't like to sign a packaging agreement and sell myself to Marvel in one go;" This made Andy laugh directly, "For another example, I will want to challenge some out-of-the-ordinary characters, and it is very likely that I will break the image baggage." "That's the biggest difference between Lanley and Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and others.

In Hollywood, if you want to reach the top, you have to become a beautifully packaged "commodity", what can and cannot be done, what independent films can take and what commercial films can and can't be, this is all carefully planned.

"For example, occasionally I want to enjoy my own free time. Lan Li raised the skateboard in his hand, and everything was silent.

Things are starting to get more and more interesting, Andy thinks.

A newcomer like Lan Li who has not proven himself, Hollywood throws countless bricks at random, and the problems that can be explained by just one "Pacific War" are really too limited, even if an actor like David Humer has proven himself in "Friends", it is not easy to prove himself and develop a career later.

In other words, Lan Li doesn't have many chips, but he is still so picky, Andy has personally come to the door twice before and after, which has shown enough sincerity, but Lan Li is still picky, if it was other agents, he would have flipped the table and left.

So, is Lan Li narcissistic and stupid, or is she full of self-confidence? Is it pretentious, or is it due to strength? Is it fame, or is it determined?

From a positive point of view, such people often know what they want, have a clear goal, are fully focused, they can go further on the path of exploration, as long as they are given the opportunity to shine, they can reach a higher limit, from the perspective of negative news, such people are either too stupid and swallowed up by the tide of Hollywood, or they are too stubborn, too rigid, too rigid and easy to break.

What kind of blue gift is it in front of you?

Andy was also making a judgment, but his expression didn't show his mood at all, he just smiled and said, "Sometimes, self-confidence is a good thing. But if you have too much self-confidence, it will turn into arrogance. The boundary between the two is weaker than most people think. ”

A ridicule did not anger Lan Li, but made him laugh too, the smile on the corner of his mouth revealed playfulness, "I thought that every actor requires narcissism, and even must be a little arrogant, otherwise they will live under the spotlight every day, accept praise, accept criticism, accept cheers, accept swearing, and even have to look at their ubiquitous faces in life, they will have gone crazy a long time ago." ”

didn't refute, but admitted it, Andy nodded in affirmation, "So most actors are always unpopular, especially actors from British colleges." This insinuating irony couldn't be sharper.

Lan Li politely accepted the evaluation politely, and then raised the skateboard in his hand and pointed in the direction behind him, "I'm going to be late for this morning's race." So, we'll see you next time," Lan Li threw the skateboard to the ground, stepped on it lightly, and sped away towards the sun, the slender back swallowed by the eyes in a blink of an eye.

Andy stayed where he was, watching Lan Li leave.

Although he was not able to achieve his goal directly, Andy gained a lot, and his understanding of Lan Li went further. To be honest, among contemporary actors, he can't find a suitable reference, although Edward Norton is somewhat similar, but Edward's personality is less uninhibited and arrogant.

Such a blue gift is more like ...... Marlon Brando, arrogant, unrestrained, unbridled and genius Marlon Brando. It's just that Ma Long's flamboyance is outward, radiant, and people can't look at it directly, but Lan Li is introverted, only by approaching slowly, can he slowly dig out, and the arrogance that has precipitated in his bones is mixed into the temperament, giving birth to an indescribable special charm.

Andy was not only not disappointed, but became more and more curious, is Lan Li a genius or a mediocre talent?

Many times, geniuses are always in the eyes of no one, even arrogant, because they can see things that ordinary people can't see, they stand at heights that ordinary people can't reach, and they insist on truths that can only be discovered in the next few decades, so they are doomed to be out of place with the society around them.

But there is only a thin line between genius and mediocrity, for mediocrity, their illusion of arrogance has become the beginning of destruction, strength and confidence cannot be matched, vision and heritage cannot be matched, and the ending is doomed from the beginning.

If they are geniuses, their strength will always be able to crush their opponents in the end, even if they are repulsed, jealous, hateful, and suppressed, they cannot annihilate their brilliance, but if they are mediocre, under the collision of real life, they will die faster than ordinary people, especially in a star-studded circle like Hollywood.

As Lan Li said, every Hollywood practitioner is like this, more or less narcissistic and even arrogant, and the rejection and competition between each other also make this vanity fair more acute and bloody.

So, what about Lan Li? Is it condescending due to strength, or is it the extreme stupidity caused by short-mindedness.

Originally, Andy was ready to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he still followed, stopped outside the skateboarding rink, and watched Lan Li's every move.

At this time, Lan Li was warming up next to him, concentrating, as if all the noise around him had disappeared, and the world was only left with skateboarding, and that focused look gave people the illusion that this was a world championship - but it was just a skateboarding competition in the neighborhood.

For many people, they may scoff, "It's just a small game in the neighborhood, why do you pay so much attention?" and they will find Lan Li's behavior ridiculous, even ridiculous, but that kind of dedication and concentration is the key to success - and this is something that most people don't have, so it is always a small number of people who stand on the top.

When Lan Li was about to play, Andy turned away instead, he knew that Lan Li needed some time to think about it, and he also needed some time to ponder. Putting aside his own position, Andy is really looking forward to Lan Li's breakthrough in Hollywood, and looking forward to the height of Lan Li's final challenge, whether it will be lost to everyone or shine on the top of the world.

Is it a genius or a madman?
