Andy's brain was running quickly, "Lan Li, if you want, we can just kick Vin Diesel out, we just need you to join the 'Fast & Thrill/Emotional' crew, it's not that difficult to do." ”

"No, I'm not going to change my pursuit of acting for the sake of an inconsequential character. I mean, I can rejoin the series, but definitely not because of Vin Diesel. "It could be because of Paul, it could be because of Lan Li's renewed interest in the film script, and all other reasons are possible, but it won't be Diesel," Lan Li chuckled, "Of course, I know, as you said, it doesn't seem difficult to kick Vin Diesel out, but I don't plan to kick him out, I hope he stays." ”

"What do you mean to stay?" Andy frowned slightly, "What he cares about most is the 'Fast & Thrill/Emotional' series, if you kick him out directly, or even make him disappear from Hollywood completely, isn't this the biggest punishment?"

"Andy, Andy, Andy. Lan Li's words revealed a gentle teasing, "If it is just to let Diesel out completely, then he has only lost the opportunity of a work, he can still make a comeback, and the Hollywood industry may sympathize with him because he is a victim." ”

It's like Melissa Bynoist.

But if Diesel stays on the crew, it weakens his power little by little, and finally makes him a dispensable member of the huge crew. He exists, but it is as if he does not exist. At the same time, let the whole of Hollywood know that he is slowly ruining his career with his own hands. Lan Li maintained a gentlemanly demeanor in such a polite manner, and even happily raised the final note, "Andy, what do you think?"

"God, Lan Li, you remind me of a serial killer like this! Can you not speak in such a tone? I have goosebumps all over my body right now!" Andy didn't continue to endure it, and just complained.

One is to go directly to the guillotine, simply and neatly, and the other is to be slowly executed, from mental to physical torture. Although both are punishments, the latter is obviously a hundred times more terrifying than the former.

"Haha. Lan Li laughed happily, "In a way, human beings are beasts in a layer of clothing, and the higher the rank, the deeper they hide themselves, precisely because the mask on the outside is so perfect, that the human nature under the mask becomes more and more repressed and distorted. ”

"This ...... Is that really a good way to describe it?" Nathan stuttered a little.

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "I'm just stating the facts. Then he got back to business, "So we need to have two plans." If Paul is willing to stay on the set, then let Dawn, Jason and Michelle fight for their power, and I believe they are more willing to fight than Paul. ”

"So, is that why the movie was created? It's like a decoy to entice them to take the initiative, like a pack of wolves fighting for food. Andy gradually figured out the clues.

"Yes. Lan Li's answer was still crisp and neat.

"And what if Paul chooses to leave?" Andy gradually figured out.

Lan Li bowed his head lightly and said in a brisk tone, "Then we will make other film projects, let Fan stay alone in the series to play, if necessary, we can invite Daune, Jason, and Gail all to explore more possibilities, maybe we can also make a series of movies." ”

In other words, leave Diesel with an empty shelf and make him truly a "king".

Andy now fully understood, and thought about it for a moment, "So, you've thought it all through. "All kinds of possibilities have been taken into account, and even the potential possibilities of the future have been included in the blueprint.

"I'm trying. Lan Li said with a smile, showing his humility and politeness, creating a wonderful sense of joy in such a situation, "In addition, we need to bring Warner Bros., Disney, and Sony Pictures into the fray. Before Andy could fully digest it, Lan Li threw a heavy blow.

Andy didn't speak in a hurry, and his left hand habitually began to beat his stomach again, like a rest after a full meal of wine, but in fact, the thoughts of his brain were already running fast.

The so-called "pulling into the battle" in Lan Li's words is actually not a formal war with these film companies, nor is it to involve them in the war against Universal Pictures or Diesel, but to involve the power of the entire Hollywood through them, add more chips to Lan Li, and disrupt the pattern in an indirect way.

First of all, the change of Warner Bros., the CEO and the entire leadership team has made their attitude ambiguous and ambiguous, and Kevin's attitude towards Lan Li is still not fully understood, but it is certain that Kevin Tsujihara will not stand on the opposite side of Lan Li-

Not to mention the box office miracle of "gravity" and the highly anticipated "Interstellar", just talking about the contradiction between Kevin and Thomas Toole, Kevin will not tear down his own stage.

Warner Bros. has officially finalized the casting of Ben Affleck in Batman, and despite the overwhelming backlash from the internet, the decision has been decided.

Kevin's cooperation with Affleck is far from being as simple as a "Batman", Kevin values Affleck and the Boston gang he represents more, from entertainment to art to politics and business and other all-round influences, Affleck's Oscar statuette is just an addition, and the entire huge resources play an important role in Kevin's future plans, so this decision is impossible to change.

But this doesn't mean that Warner Bros. can't operate, the entire huge DC resources are still waiting to be tapped, Andy doesn't even need Lan Li and Warner Bros. to really cooperate, just release some rumors, true and false, looking for a really suitable cooperation project, if not, Andy only needs these rumors to fuel, he believes that Kevin will not refuse.

The second is Sony Pictures, although Sony Columbia Pictures and Sony Classic Pictures are two separate companies, they are still inextricably linked, and now Sony Classic is actively seeking a long-term cooperation with Sisyphus Pictures, if done right, then all future Blue Rite artworks and independent works can find supporters, just like Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. did in the past, or Miramax and Disney.

Furthermore, the resources of actors such as Ryan Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Chastain, Rooney Mara, etc., can be the distribution and production objects of Sisyphus Films—this is how the Weinstein brothers built their awards season empire! and the Coen brothers! The independent film resources that the Coen brothers represent can no one easily ignore.

In that case, Sundance had to attend.

Finally, Disney, in fact, Disney under the leadership of Robert Iger, is undoubtedly the most shrewd and cunning, not to see the rabbit and not to scatter the eagle, but now Lan Li has enough leverage to negotiate with Disney - Disney and Lan Li showed enough sincerity in their first contact with Lan Li last year, and Lan Li is about to dub the voice of "Super Marine", and this cooperation is also highly anticipated.

Disney still holds Andy's most fanatical "Star Wars" series, and Lan Li also expressed his willingness to play in the gaiden "Rogue One", if Andy can start from here, it is not difficult to break the deadlock.

What does this have to do with Diesel?

To put it simply, the right to speak!

When Lan Li has enough right to speak, whether it is to suppress Diesel or expel Diesel , everything can be easily done, and more importantly, Paul can have the absolute initiative:

Staying in the "Fast and Furious" series, Dawn and Michelle and others will join forces to suppress Diesel, and the resources in Lan Li's hands can also become more bargaining chips to attract Dawn and Michelle;

Not only that, but there is another potential behind the control, after Lan Li has enough resources in his hands, he can block all the ways out of Diesel - just like using Disney to complete the cooperation deal and exchange the dubbing rights of "Guardians of the Galaxy". If Disney can, why can't other studios? Even Universal Pictures is no exception.

Lan Li is using his power to complete a magnificent and majestic layout, which is no longer a simple actor-level means, it can be said to be a battle of interests between large film companies, faintly revealing the decisiveness of the superiors.

Andy had always thought that Lan Li was just a simple actor, lacking enough vision of the big picture, and all his energy was focused on acting, but obviously, he was wrong.

Lan Li is not without a big picture, but disdainful. If Lan Li is willing, he can really make Diesel die without knowing how he got into the quagmire, quietly completing the layout.

Moreover, everyone ignores an important fact, and now Lan Li has not used his real trump card, from Andre Hamilton to Matthew Dunlop, from Arthur Hall to Eaton Dormer, the heavy power standing behind Lan Li is only the tip of the iceberg.

As long as Lan Li is willing to take the initiative to return to the London aristocratic social circle, carefully manage and concentrate on operation, imagine the grand occasion when Lan Li returned to London in the first half of the year, then......

Andy didn't dare to think about it any longer, lest he touch the darkest and roughest part. Now, he's starting to feel a little sympathetic to Diesel.

But the problem is that even Andy underestimated Lan Li, let alone the others? They just understand how crazy Lan Li can be for the show, but they don't understand how terrible Lan Li can be after she escapes into blackness, Andy thinks of Melissa.
