The smile on the corner of Andre's mouth stiffened like this, he looked at Eton, then at Lan Li, and finally shook his head speechlessly, looking up to the sky and sighing, "What kind of friends do I make!"

Eaton's eyes widened, full of confusion, he didn't know what had just happened, he just interjected, and now looking at Andre's depressed face, he was innocent and confused, and could only cast an inquiring look at Lan Li, but Lan Li didn't answer, just shook his head with a smile and denied it, and Eaton didn't continue to investigate.

"So, what the hell is going on with today's party?" Eton is a big lama's personality, even if he doesn't understand, he won't investigate, even if he is unhappy, he won't care, even if he doesn't understand, he won't be entangled, "If it's because of Venice, I'll have already prepared those clothes and shipped them to the Duke of Hamilton's private residence in advance, and at that time, you can choose according to the weather." ”

August is coming to an end, which means that September is not far off.

"Gravity" is about to hold its world premiere, first the world premiere of the Venice Film Festival, then the North American premiere of the Toronto Film Festival, and then the US premiere of the New York Film Festival.

However, Warner Bros. still prefers to promote commercial films, and the reason why the festival premiere was chosen is mainly due to the appeal of the two actors Alfonso Cuarón and Lanli Hall.

So, in the next period of time, Lan Li will start to get busy again.

The Venice Film Festival, which will also be the second European film festival that Blue Gift will participate in this year.

Unlike Cannes, Venice is a big city, a tourist destination, a holiday destination, and many British aristocrats have resort residences here. Even if the Duke of Hamilton was one of them, when he learned that Lan Li was going to Venice to participate in the film festival this year, André generously opened the door of his private residence by the river and welcomed Lan Li to move in.

As Blue Lane's personal stylist, Eaton will be in charge of all the red carpet looks and premiere costumes for Blue Lane, and after he finished his work early, he shipped all the costumes to Hamilton's private residence -

Eaton and Lan Li were no strangers to the area, and when they were in school, they had made several vacations to Venice, all of which lived in the Duke of Hamilton's private residence.

One of them was a long holiday on St. Patrick's Day, and a group of them stayed in Venice for a long time, and after the holiday, they still did not go back, and finally Andre's second brother John came to Venice in person...... Cover for them. It also became one of the happiest and beautiful days of my youth, wandering carefree and wantonly.

Lan Li gently lowered her chin and expressed her understanding, "In September, are you going to go to Venice?"

"I need to go to Fashion Week, and this year I won't be there. Eaton shook his head, "I'm planning to start hosting a private party at Fashion Week next February to further expand my brand's influence." ”

"It's rare that you're so proactive now. Lan Li quipped that Eaton has always been a relatively passive party in terms of social relationships, and the marketing of his personal brand has never been able to enter the next stage, "Just right, you can talk to Andre." ”

"......" Andre looked at Lan Li with a question mark on his head.

"What?" exclaimed Eaton, slightly excited.

Andre was immediately dissatisfied, "What's your reaction? Shouldn't I be disgusted? ”

Eaton immediately shut his mouth and pretended nothing had happened.

Lan Li laughed without giving any face, "I'm serious. Eaton, now that Andre has officially started to invest in film projects, if you have the opportunity, you can actually cooperate with some Hollywood films as a promotional entry point. ”

"For example, British royal films like 'The King's Speech' and 'The Queen', the suits in them are really very elaborate, you have to be really insiders, and I don't think anyone is more suitable for this aspect than you, and you can also be involved in the costume design of some modern British films, or World War II works. It's a very interesting process. ”

Lan Li was not joking, he spoke very seriously about his thoughts and opinions.

After "Burst Drummer", André is once again involved in the production of "Nightcrawler", and there is no doubt that he has already begun to enter the Hollywood industry.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation of "Jurassic Park" and "Interstellar" was too complicated, he would even suggest that Andre join them, but now that Andre only has capital and status, but is not familiar with the rules of the industry, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures should not be mixed in this troubled water.

Naturally, André needed to build a relatively close team. Thomas Tole, the Weinstein brothers, and so on all came over this way, which played a vital role in gaining a foothold in Hollywood -

The so-called team, which includes all the people who work in front of and behind the scenes, should never underestimate the important role of the people behind the scenes, especially for self-made independent production companies.

Eaton is now looking to expand its personal brand further, and if it can be partnered with films, it is a good platform to showcase, at least according to Lan Li. Especially for some British films, the position of costume design is becoming more and more important, and now Hollywood's really top professionals are far from enough, which is precisely the field of Eaton.

Therefore, Lan Li invited Andre and Eaton over today, and asked them to talk, if they can reach a cooperation, it is naturally the best, even if it doesn't, it doesn't hurt.

Andre immediately entered the state of thought, because he knew that Lan Li was not a purposeless personality.

Eaton didn't think that deeply, and after a moment of silence, the idea had already blurted out, "Is this really appropriate? I haven't worked with a film crew, I haven't even had the opportunity to watch, I don't know what the process is, can I really do it? More importantly, is this not a proper job? Does this really work for my brand promotion?"

In fact, the last time Lan Li returned to London, Eton thought about it, and also mentioned it to Lan Li and Andre, but it was just a mention, and there was no follow-up after that, and now that the opportunity has really come, Eton has become a little hesitant.

"The thing is very simple, according to the background of the era, according to the characteristics of the character, according to the character personality, you can tailor it. Lan Li said with a smile, costumes are actually a part of the performance, a very important part, so Lan Li is not unfamiliar, "Does it sound very familiar? In fact, there is not much difference from your daily work, the only difference is that now you are tailoring the characters in the script." ”

"But now through your red carpet, I've gradually opened up some situations in Hollywood, if I switch to designing costumes for films, wouldn't that be able to confuse everyone's thoughts and opinions?

But in the face of such a question, Lan Li had no way to give an accurate answer, "I'm not sure. After all, it's not my specialty. But, if you're interested, I can ask Andy to arrange for you to go to Burbank and observe the fashion designer's workflow, and you can find some inspiration and make your own judgment, or talk to them, if it's not suitable, forget it. ”

Eaton didn't answer right away, lost in thought.

Andre took the initiative to start the conversation, he now understood the deep meaning behind the matter, and his perspective was more long-term and macro than Eaton's, "You mean, I have to form my own lineage production team, from the actors and directors to all the behind-the-scenes staff?"

Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "It doesn't have to be a fixed team, but it's best to have a team that you know and trust, which is very important for the start-up stage of an independent production company." This time, you chose to work with Sony Classics, and the production team was selected by them, and your control is still too weak. ”

The following words, even if they didn't need Lan Li's explanation, Andre immediately understood.

The particularity of "Burst Drummer" is that Lan Li served as the producer, and the production team of Sony's classic was relatively united, focusing on the film production process, and there were no moths, and the overall cooperation was very pleasant.

But Lan Li can't be a producer every time, even if he is a nominal producer, he doesn't have so much energy to do everything, which means that Andre must have more effective intervention and management tools. Even if it's not to manage the filmmaking process, it's about controlling costs and quality.

As for whether Andre will be able to settle for Legendary Pictures' previous partnership with Warner Bros., or if he wants to be further involved like Thomas Toole, that's a question for the future.

Andre gently bowed his head in agreement, and between the two sentences, he made a decisive decision, "Then so be it, you and Andy say hello, I need his help with some things in the next period of time." ”

Now that you've decided to create a film production company, it's time to plan well, and although André may seem like a good man on the surface, the shrewdness and wisdom of being able to run one of the world's top whisky distilleries are far from simple. When he was young before, Andre was completely a carefree young master, and after reuniting again for many years, Lan Li still hasn't changed, but Andre is different.

"By the way, your production company has already been registered, right?, what's the name?" Lan Li only remembered this now, and took the opportunity to ask.
