At the beginning, Andy fought a real game for the dividends of "Speed and Excitement/Love 5", and finally succeeded in opening the situation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If it is a commercial film, the box office dividend system is different, and Lan Li did not participate in it, and can not deeply understand the difficulty of box office dividends;

It can be seen from Harvey Weinstein's attitude that many times, the producers would rather pay more than give dividends to the actors.

First, because the dividend also means that if the income is higher, the actor's income will also be higher, which is divided into the interests of the producer, and the second is because the box office dividend itself is also a representative of power, which means that the actor can participate in more decision-making and take away the producer's power.

Either way, box office dividends were tough enough, but now, Tony not only gave box office dividends, but also went one step further and gave away the disc dividends - and on his own initiative, Lan Li didn't even fight for it. Even if it's unbelievable, it's not enough to describe Tony's boldness and directness.

Lan Li knows that the box office and DVDs of "Detachment" have hit the streets, even if these two parts can get a 5% dividend, his final salary is not much higher, but this is not the point, the point is still Tony's sincerity and focus. really let Lan Li see that Tony is 100% committed to the movie.

Of course, this small detail can also be seen. "Detachment" probably has no intention of finding other partner companies, maybe Tony's own production company is responsible for investing in production, so he has the right to divide this part of the interests - his own interests.

Such an idiot is almost extinct in the colorful and glamorous Hollywood.

Compared to Woody Allen, compared to Lan Li himself, Tony is the real "crazy for movies", which is admirable.

"Do you have any other needs?" After throwing the bomb in one go, Tony actually looked at Lan Li with a focused face, and asked, "Or do you need to talk about the salary further, the remuneration may be more difficult, but the dividend is ......"

Looking at Tony's expression, Lan Li smiled dumbly, and a low laugh echoed in his chest, "If you continue, you'll go bankrupt." In a teasing way, he rejected Tony's kindness.

Tony shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Opportunities to make money are everywhere, but opportunities for art are not to be missed. ”

Lan Li nodded, "No one wants to miss out on creative inspiration. ”

This response made Tony laugh, "By the way, I forgot to ask about your schedule." Tony finally remembered it, "Our crew still needs some preparation time and needs to find other actors, but we are an independent small crew, so we are more flexible and flexible." ”

After a moment's silence, Tony hesitated, "Our expectation is to start in April, but if we miss April, it will be in June at the latest." Is your schedule okay? Or do you need us to further cooperate with the adjustment?" "The schedule of independent films is relatively mobile, and there are many factors that affect it, which are two completely different models from commercial films.

Lan Li remembered what Andy called "the girl with the dragon tattoo".

"No problem. Lan Li gave his answer and nodded in affirmation, "I am willing to appear in this work." But, I have a question. ”

Tony and Carl both showed happy expressions, but before they could celebrate, they were attracted by Lan Li's question and stared at Lan Li, which made Lan Li can't help but say, "When can I start reading the script?"

Reading a "detachment" script is not to build a character, nor to bring in a character, but to read the lines.

For expressionist acting, lines are not the most important, many times, in the absence of lines, the expression of emotions still has a powerful shocking power, but it is undeniable that lines are a very important part of performance. A truly outstanding academic actor, the basic skills of lines can definitely stand the test.

What's more, "detachment" has a large number of monologues and confessions, and the meaning of the lines is even more important.

The caution between Tony's eyebrows dissipated, replaced by genuine joy, and he liked Lan Li's attitude, "Tomorrow, tomorrow will do." You give me my agent's business card, and I contact him to get the contract done as soon as possible, and you can start reading the script, and we can start working on the rest of the work. ”

The broker's business card.

Lan Li suddenly felt a sense of joy. First George Sland, then Tony Kaye, Andy will be confused when he receives these calls that are not planned. As a rookie actor, he really doesn't "keep to himself".

Tony caught the playfulness in Lan Li's smile and his eyes widened, "What's wrong?"

Lan Li waved her hand, "It's okay." I rummaged through my wallet, but found that I didn't have the habit of carrying Andy's business card with me at all, so I could only take out my mobile phone, "Otherwise, I'll send you his phone number directly?"

So casual, yet so direct, even a little casual. Sure enough, there are more or less similarities between artists.

"No problem. Tony also pulled out his phone and exchanged phone numbers.

Then, Woody asked Lan Li about the list of performances tonight very seriously - Lan Li's previous guess was correct, Woody did bring Tony and Carl here to enjoy the show today, and then wanted to ask Stanley for Lan Li's contact information. In the eyes of an old pedant like Woody, this is much more convenient than the Screen Actors Guild.

Lan Li really didn't know anything, and after asking Neil at the bar, he came back to explain.

Just as Lan Li was about to say goodbye and leave, Woody said casually, "What about you, when are you going to perform on stage?"

"At least not tonight. Lan Li replied half-jokingly.

Tony laughed in response. But Woody didn't buy it, still with that cold expression, "You're a good performer, maybe you should go on stage more." ”

Such praise really surprised Lan Li.

The famous Woody Allen can be said to be famous, always picky, scathing, laughing and scolding, never soft, and never looked at who he wanted to compromise. In addition to New York, the love of his life, the city has always had a special charm under his lens.

Not to mention Lan Li, even Tony cast his gaze in surprise. Woody was unmoved, just shrugged his shoulders, "I know you're an actor, but the stage itself is part of the show. Perhaps, you can find a time every week to perform here and experience life. In this small bar, the things that are inclusive, which may cost you a lifetime, may not be able to read. ”

Woody remembered that Woody was a saxophonist, and every Monday, he would play in a bar for thirty years.

He is a director, but he is not just a director, all art forms are essentially the same, reflecting the soul and thoughts of the creator and artist.

In the eyes of others, performing the saxophone every Monday is not a serious job, and it is a hobby that has nothing to do with the director's work at all. But who knows? Perhaps, the root of Woody's ability to maintain such a strong creative force at such an advanced age is in the weekly performances every Monday.

Lan Li felt that the next time he had time, he should find a Monday and make a special trip to watch Woody's performance, as well as Woody's New York nightlife.

"I suddenly became a little curious. Tony looked at Lan Li with interest.

Woody's words are full of disdain and criticism of Lan Li inside and out, only twenty-one years old, even if the acting talent is outstanding, but the accumulation and polishing of social experience is still not enough. Compared with the previous three works, the "detached" Henry is a truly experienced and well-established character, and his test of the actor is all-round, even if it is difficult to imagine, the actual situation is ten times more difficult.

Tony, however, heard the affirmation hidden in it. If it weren't for Woody's deep impression on Lan Li's singing, Woody wouldn't have been so persistent. It's really an interesting thing, and Tony can't help but look forward to it.

Lan Libao responded with a smile, "That can only wait for the next time." ”

It's actually a closed door. It's rare, it's so rare. Tony secretly looked at Woody's expression, and there was a little stiffness added to the look of disdain and disdain, which was really wonderful.

Lan Li was very calm, and he didn't feel any uneasy or complacent because he rejected Woody.

Every artist has his own way of creating, there is no such thing as the right way, and there is no such thing as the wrong path. Woody has his own way, and Lan Li has his rhythm, different ways, open the same world, you will see different scenes. What suits Woody doesn't necessarily work for him, and what suits him doesn't necessarily work for Woody. Lan Li didn't plan to shake his principles because the other party was Woody Allen.

What's more, compared to Tony, who is concentrating, Lan Li is already a bit of a shame.

Of course, Lan Li also admits that it is worth affirming that music is used to build a bridge of ideas, to establish a smooth track between himself and his work, between himself and his characters, and between himself and his co-actors. In the first place, the song "Cleopatra" played an important role in the reason why he was able to get the role of Eugene Slaich.

However, although Lan Li admires Tony very much, he has no intention of giving up his hobbies. Admiration is admiration, but Lan Li still plans to follow his own path, continue to explore, find his own way of creation, and look forward to finally reaching the same end.

After finishing speaking, Lan Li also turned around and said goodbye.

Tony watched Lan Li's departing back, and hit Woody hard with his shoulder, with a gloating expression on his face, which made Woody roll his eyes and not plan to pay attention, and Carl, who was sitting opposite, looked at the mischievous Tony, shook his head helplessly, and decided not to get involved.
