First Universal Pictures' "Jurassic Park", then Disney's "Rogue One".

In just a few weeks, Lan Li has successively determined the performance agreement of the two works, following the "Interstellar", further in commercial films, in the future, Lan Li will be able to see more in the summer and holiday files, and the "EGOT curse" that people are worried about has also officially broken.

In fact, Lan Li has never been troubled by the "Little Golden Man Curse" or "EGOT Curse", although he reached the peak of fame early in terms of awards, but after being shrouded by the spotlight of the awards ceremony, Lan Li was still able to calmly return to the path of actor again and continue to explore, last year's "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Ballad" also once again proved Lan Li's artistic attainments, which also made the so-called curse meaningless.

Now, "Rogue One" and "Jurassic Park" have set new highs in terms of salary, proving the disappearance of the "EGOT curse" in a more direct and simple way.

However, the filming of both works did not start so quickly, and the clues can be glimpsed from the contract signing conditions.

Rogue One's script has been completely overturned and reinvented, and in the next three to six months, writing the script is the first task, and one after another, the casting and selection of directors will begin, and Lan Li can put forward his own suggestions and opinions, if necessary, the actors can be determined first, and then the characters can be created according to the image of the actors.

The script of "Jurassic Park" has been completed, but it still needs to be reviewed by Lan Li, because Steven Spielberg put forward his opinion at the beginning: I hope that the new work will focus on human characters, rather than supporting roles of dinosaurs, and now Lan Li has been chosen as the leading actor, and Universal Pictures naturally does not want human characters to become pawns fleeing from the feet of dinosaurs.

Next, while Lan Li reads the script, gives comments, and revises the script, Universal Pictures will concentrate on starting to assemble the entire shooting team, and the main actors, directors, cinematographers and other cast lineups have not been determined for the time being, but it is certain that with the signatures of Steven Spielberg and Lan Li Hall, the related work will be carried out very smoothly.

But even if it goes smoothly and quickly, the official launch of "Jurassic Park" will need to wait for a while.

This means that in the short term, Lan Li can still enjoy his long vacation.

……

Andy Rogers knocked on the door, the crack of the door and the window faintly flowed with the beautiful melody of the cello, no one answered the door, so he simply twisted the doorknob and entered the room without any problems, and then saw Lan Li and Matthew curled up on the sofa.

Lan Li sat cross-legged in the corner on the left side of the sofa, with a few thick books and picture albums scattered on her right hand, wearing a dark gray knitted sweater, supporting the armrest of the sofa with her left hand, and then rubbing her messy hair casually, holding a glass of red wine in her right hand, with a comfortable and enjoyable expression on her face.

Matthew sat on the sofa diagonally opposite, his right leg overlapped on the knee of his left leg, elegant with a hint of casualness, his body still remained straight, but he leaned slightly towards the back of the chair, his shoulder lines and arm lines were relaxed, and there were also books and albums stacked on his knees and in front of the coffee table, and a glass of red wine was also placed next to him.

Andy doesn't know anything about classical music, and he doesn't know whose movement is being played at this time, but the elegance and idleness in the afternoon sun breed a comfortable laziness, which makes people can't help but want to wander in it.

Recently, Andy has been running at full speed, working overtime to carry out work, and while negotiating with the two giant crocodiles, he also needs to further complete the follow-up layout, and with Sisyphus Pictures' grand plan is now in the preliminary operation stage, it must be cautious and cautious, careful and careful, serious and serious, and no mistakes are allowed, which is the case in the early days of entrepreneurship, which is definitely not an easy thing.

Every night, even sleep is not very stable, nightmares one after another, the fragments of dreams between the flashes of light and shadow are intermittently exhausting, occasionally waking up in the middle of the night is sweating profusely, but the specific description can't say a reason, not fear or panic but better than nervousness, because the nerves are so tense that the whole person is a little weak, but after the sun rises, you must get up again.

It is undeniable that anticipation and excitement are the driving force to support himself to keep running, like a stream of chicken blood, but now he can only rely on this chicken blood to persevere, once the blood is gone, he doesn't know what will happen: is this true of all startups? Or is it only Sisyphus Pictures?

At this time, looking at Lan Li who was comfortable in front of him, Andy felt helpless that he couldn't cry or laugh, but invisibly, the tense nerves slowly relaxed.

"No, I don't think lighting or anything makes a difference. Honestly, there's nothing special about the lighting in your house in Notting Hill, is it?"

"This is California, not London. Naturally, the lighting is not the same. ”

"Huh. Ha. You just said that rosewood and red maple are also different. I know I know that Elizabeth always cares about these details, but ...... I can't see the difference. ”

"You can't tell the milky and the off-white, the jazz white and the elegant white, the pink and the pure white, and so on. ”

“…… Do you know how you feel when I talk about how surfing should be waiting for the waves and observing? yes, that's how I feel right now. ”

"This young master, are you buying the property, or am I buying the property?"

"Uh, what's the difference?"

Lan Li and Matthew sat quietly in their places like this, you and I exchanged words with each other, obviously the wind and waves were calm on the surface, and the expressions of the two people did not change in particular, but the sword light and sword shadow hidden in the words made people can't help but stand on tiptoe and slow down their pace.

If it was a stranger, it was estimated that he would be scared to death at this time, but the person who came was Andy, and he couldn't get used to it, this was Lan Li and Matthew's daily life, nothing special.

"Hey, big star, your door is just open, are you sure the paparazzi won't break in?"

Lan Li and Matthew raised their heads at the same time, Matthew nodded in a gesture, and Lan Li showed a smile, "If they dare to break in directly." ”

Lan Li now lives in the apartment, the door is facing the street, just stand on the street to clearly see every move in the room, there is nothing at all, and Lan Li habitually does not lock the door

Los Angeles is still different from New York, which is a honeycomb apartment, while Los Angeles is a single-family house with a backyard, which also means that in Los Angeles, even if the door is locked, people can still enter the house from the backyard, which can stop law-abiding citizens, but not the ubiquitous paparazzi.

However, Lan Li's perennial residence is still New York, and as for Los Angeles, if it is not for filming work, he will live here for less than a month a year. Therefore, Lan Li never changed the apartment, and the paparazzi never broke in, and the two sides were quite peaceful.

But now things have changed slightly. On the one hand, for the future operation of Sisyphus Pictures, Lan Li will continue to spend more and more time in Los Angeles, and on the other hand, now that more and more attention is gathered on Lan Li, the troubles of living in ordinary residential areas will gradually increase

Not long ago, when Lan Li was on his way to Berlin, he was confronted by a burglar in his apartment.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a thief, because there are no valuable items lost, the home was searched by rummaging through the cabinets, and finally some personal daily necessities and personal belongings were lost, etc., not so much a thief, but it is better to break in, but whether the object of the crime is a crazy fan or a paparazzi, there is no way to know.

Interestingly, the script mountain in the dining room was slightly flipped, but the script items were not reduced, at least from a rough calculation, and the neatness of the whole script mountain contrasted with the messiness in the room, which also made people more confused about the identity of the intruder:

Paparazzi, or a movie fan, or a pure stranger?

Regardless, break-ins are still a serious problem that needs to be faced. Luckily, Rooney was on his way to San Diego for a second round of auditions and was not in the apartment, avoiding a head-to-head confrontation with the intruder, and the intruder seemed to be always careful and did not alarm the neighbors, so there were no surprises except for a few minor item losses.

In the future, similar things will only increase, not decrease, regardless of whether there is a threat to personal safety, but Lan Li's daily life will inevitably be disturbed.

So, after returning from Berlin, Lan Li officially began to prepare for the purchase of real estate.

For a long time, Lan Li has never had this awareness, mainly because he lives in New York

It's a melting pot of all races and cultures in the world, and even actors can play musical instruments in a bar like Woody Allen, perform at night and live during the day like a Broadway actor, and walk the streets on a skateboard like Ranley, and their lives still have their own private space, just like everyone else living in the city, and no one will make a fuss.

Now that thinking has to change slightly.
