1865 Scorched
Bryce Dallas has been rolling in the industry for nearly a decade since he officially entered Hollywood through "Mystery Village" in 2004, but Ron Howard has never interfered with Bryce's career as an actor, on the one hand, out of trust, on the other hand, out of love, and he doesn't want his "overprotection" to tie his daughter's wings instead.
Of course, to a large extent, it is also because Bryce has never been able to really make a name, and she has never encountered those intricate rules within the Hollywood industry, so naturally there is no need for Howard to step up and lend a helping hand, and competing for roles and expanding horizons can rely entirely on strength.
Now, at last, there was an incident where Howard needed to hold up a piece of the world for his daughter, and he didn't hesitate to do so.
With Howard's personality as a good old man, he just expressed his position strongly, and rejected all future opportunities to work with Thomas Tool and Legendary Pictures, at most he contacted friends like Steven Spielberg, hoping that they would be able to make their intentions clear, but that's all, after all, the influence is still limited.
Later, Steven Spielberg was ready to throw a private party with top producers such as Frank Marshall and Katherine Kennedy, inviting top Wall Street financiers to attend—not all for the Blue Rites or "Jurassic World," of course, but for their own future, which is also the norm in Hollywood, but undeniably ready to ring the alarm bell for Thomas above the party.
He needs to know that he is not alone in the ability to leverage Wall Street capital. Steven was also a little annoyed.
From the beginning of the "Jurassic World" project to the present, Thomas's affairs have simply not stopped, but Thomas now has the strength to make decisions with anyone, so that after leaving Warner Bros., Thomas refused to retreat. Now that the conflict between Thomas and Lan Li has intensified, it seems that it has affected the filming of "Jurassic World", and Steven refuses to back down.
As for who is right and who is wrong?
Steven didn't care at all, because he knew Lan Li, if it wasn't for Thomas being aggressive, Lan Li wouldn't have made a move at all, and now there is no need to ask who is right and who is wrong, Steven has already chosen his position - he supports Lan Li, it was like this before, and it is like this now.
After Howard learned of Steven's invitation, he simply took the initiative to take over the task of hosting a party, and he also hoped to knock the mountain and use his connections to open up the situation and let Thomas know that not just anyone can provoke. In addition to Steven, Howard also has his own connections on Wall Street, and last year's "Extreme Wind/Flow" was actually Howard's own investment-Howard is just not good at these intrigues and disdainful, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand anything.
Thomas really a lot of people this time.
But in fact, instead of saying this, it is better to say that Lan Li really mobilized all the contacts this time.
Thomas didn't expect Lan Li's game layout to be so thorough and so ruthless, on the surface, all the focus of confrontation stayed on the internal struggle for every inch of land within the crew, and made a fuss around scandals and negative news, but in fact, he bypassed the main battlefield and drew wages in a straight way, completely disrupting Thomas's rhythm.
If Howard and Steven's private party is just a "knock on the mountain", then Arthur Hall's frequent actions on Wall Street can be called "dark and old".
The former is just a greeting in a social situation, and there is still a long, long way to go before the cooperation negotiations, even if Thomas really hears about it, he is at most annoyed and annoyed, so as not to mess up, and can also think about the long-term plan slowly;
When Thomas learned the news two times one after another, he only felt that the back of his head was smashed twice in a row, and cold sweat broke out layer after layer-
If Steven, Howard and others are willing to endorse Lan Li, even if they are only willing to match up with Sisyphus Films, open up the situation for Arthur's activities, and further open up the possibility of cooperation between Wall Street and Sisyphus Films, then the trickiness of things will increase exponentially, and no one can forget Lan Li's "undefeated halo", Thomas can't, and neither can Wall Street.
If it is said that so far Lan Li's threat to Thomas has stayed at the level of "actor VS producer", then now it has directly skipped the stage of "producer VS producer" and has risen straight to the level of "CEO VS CEO", and the severity of the matter has entered another level.
The most terrifying thing is that Thomas can't accurately judge whether Sisyphus Pictures is playing tickets or serious?
Because of the influence of mainstream rhetoric in the Hollywood industry, Thomas also preconceived that Lan Li was just playing, after all, in the two works of "Interstellar" and "Jurassic World", Lan Li did not strongly ask for Sisyphus Pictures' intervention, didn't he? But now it involves the injection of Wall Street funds, and things are starting to become ambiguous.
Thomas only realized at this time that he seemed to be a little careless, or - picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon?
Having spent a lot of time in the office, Thomas was able to sit down and slowly analyze and filter through all the news in Hollywood, and then make accurate investment decisions — what is the most important thing about investing in the stock market? The speed and accuracy of the news in the industry! The same is true for Legendary Pictures' investment.
But now, Thomas hopes to be able to come to the stage, and the speed of news analysis and reading has slowed down significantly, and he still relies more on his assistants and partners to complete update reminders, so that when it comes to Sisyphus Films' rapid development, his information is still stuck before the Sundance Film Festival.
The alarm bells are ringing.
Thomas knew he couldn't stay in Honolulu anymore, and he had to return to the North American continent immediately to stabilize investor confidence and Wall Street's support, or else his qualification to go head-to-head with Ron Meyer, Steven Spielberg, and Ranley Hall could be ruined, and all his blueprints would be gone.
So, Thomas just left.
Universal Pictures' resolute follow-up matters were actually all done by Lan Li and Patrick Crowley, and after they were all over, Ron Mayer learned the news, but Ron Meyer then knew that Lan Li and Patrick's decisions had been agreed by Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, so he could only keep his mouth shut and did not object.
It's not that Thomas has given up on counter-attacking, but there is no space to counter-attack, and he has more important things to deal with now.
Thomas, who returned to the North American continent, was a little anxious, but he could not show his impatience and urgency, otherwise he might reveal his weakness and vulnerability, and instead become a loophole to take advantage of, causing his remedial plan to have another twist and turn, which he would never allow.
Thomas made a trade-off, temporarily put aside all the work of "Jurassic World", and wholeheartedly returned to the relevant signals of Legendary Pictures, he did not rush to meet with Wall Street investors immediately, but started by collecting information and collecting information, he needed to understand the reality of Lan Li, and also needed to understand the situation of Sisyphus Films, and then he could launch an effective counterattack.
Before he knew it, Thomas's eyes were taken away from Lan Li and he went head-to-head with Andre Hamilton, Arthur Hall and others.
To be sure, Thomas was not so easy to defeat, and the grievances between Legendary Pictures and Lan Li had not yet come to an end temporarily, but this was harmless, because for a long time to come, Thomas had no time to fight with Lan Li, and he needed to face the same powerful enemies on different battlefields, and from this point of view, Lan Li did achieve a phased victory-
The crew of "Jurassic World" finally quieted down.
In fact, the chaos and turmoil within the crew are all fakes, since Lan Li planned the whole incident early, and the ultimate goal is to stabilize the filming work of the crew, how could he not be prepared with both hands?
Through the joint efforts of the three producers of Patrick Crowley, Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, they laid a net in advance, using the whole incident to single out all those restless rioters and throw them out in one go, and the action of killing chickens and monkeys immediately paid off.
Except for the first five days when the scandal broke, there was some turmoil and chaos within the crew, after that, the normal filming work has completely calmed down, and finally through the vigorous cleaning action, the crew was completely stabilized, and then those boiling news and rumors have nothing to do with them.
Anyway, the crew was already in isolated Hawaii, but now they are even more closed to refuse all the paparazzi and reporters' interview invitations, strictly blocking all the news, and then burying their heads in the filming of the work.
This is the first time in history that Lan Li has really taken control of the crew as a producer, and the tough and strong, decisive and ruthless methods are indeed shocking - this is definitely not the gentleman in his impression, but after everything calmed down, Lan Li returned to his lazy state again: except for the performance, everything else was handed over to Colin and Patrick, and the hand-off shopkeeper didn't care about it.
So, which Lan Li is the real him?
