There is no doubt that with Lan Li's current prestige and status, he will never lack invitations to appear in works, even if his schedule is full, invitations are still coming to the door, without 2015, as well as 2016, 2017, 2018, and now looking forward to Lan Li's joining of the work project, the real meaning has reached "endless" and "countless", Andy Rogers' working hours are always full.

From "Jurassic World" to "Rogue One", after Lan Li opened up his intention to perform in commercial films, and expressed his intention to appear in comedy works on many public occasions, now there are more and more types of works invited to the door, and all kinds of movie invitations are crowded into Andy's mailbox.

To be honest, among the countless works, Andy chose "Lobster", which is undoubtedly very interesting. Especially when the original cast was Jason Clark.

Andy has no way of knowing that the last "Lobster" finally chose Colin Farrell, who is the same type of actor as Jason Clark, which also means that Oulgels tends to use a tough guy to play the role, the consideration is unknown, but in the background of the story of "Lobster", it is indeed very interesting;

"Jason Clark?" Lan Li raised his tail note slightly, revealing confusion.

Andy misunderstood what Lan Li meant, and nodded in affirmation, "Yes, I actually didn't understand the reason why Oggs chose Jason Clark, but I didn't understand the reason why Jason Clark refused. The news I heard was that Jason had already nodded and agreed to act, and then received an invitation to perform in the 'Terminator' reboot project, so he turned down Oggs and chose 'Terminator', and it was as simple as that. ”

Is it the "Terminator" reboot project?

"Sorry choice. Lan Li said that he was suffocating, and the interaction between the agent and the actor can be seen from here:

One is "Lobster", the other is "Terminator: Genesis", the former is a new attempt by European art directors, and the latter is a reboot of traditional action series films, these are two completely different projects, although the final decision must be made by the actor himself, but the project recommendation is done by the agent, naturally, you can also see the agent's tendency - has an idea for an art film, and in the end chooses a commercial film, the persuasion and guidance of the agent is an important reference for actors, and there are only a few actors like Lan Li who have absolute initiative.

Andy explained the reason for Jason's withdrawal, but still didn't answer Lan Li's curiosity, "I mean, Jason and I are very different types of actors, why did you choose this work? I don't think I fit Ogels' vision of the character and the actor. ”

"Haha. Andy laughed directly, "First of all, Lan Li, when did you become so modest? If you are interested in this work, whether the director likes it or not, you will take the initiative to fight for it, and only then can you accept the final result, and secondly, I think you are also a tough guy actor, even more suitable than Jason, because you are not bound by the framework, you can show countless possibilities, don't forget, 'Fast & Thrill/Emotional 5' and' Edge of Tomorrow is the best proof that you can be a great action actor too. ”

Lan Li also laughed with Andy, "I can't refute it, but now my question is, your choice is not mine." ”

If it is Lan Li who chooses "Lobster", it is not surprising, because Lan Li is always eager to challenge some new roles and break his own performance boundaries, and the "Lobster" is a style type that Lan Li has not tried so far, and it must be a very interesting thing.

The premise is that Lan Li is an actor.

But if it's Andy as an agent, it's worth exploring: does this mean that Andy's thinking model is also being assimilated by Lan Li?

Andy immediately understood the meaning of Lan Li's words, but instead of answering honestly, he asked rhetorically, "You don't like it, my job is to pick out a work that you like and meet your needs." ”

"No, it's your job to pick out the right work, or rather, one that we're all happy with, and make my career as an actor shine even more. There is a difference. Lan Li retorted solemnly.

"So, you mean, you don't like it?" Andy still didn't answer Lan Li's question.

Lan Li chuckled, "The problem now is that I like it. ”

The simple words seemed meaningful, and Andy was defeated after all, "Because it's a black comedy, I think you can do some challenges again." ”

"That's it?" was simpler than she imagined, and Lan Li thought there was some intricate story behind it.

"Yes, that's all. Andy said crisply, "You've always wanted to star in a comedy, and although there are a lot of comedies every year, there's no way for me to let you go the self-destructive route, right? ”

Even actors with a thousand faces have restrictions and constraints, making Daniel Day Lewis flamboyant and babbling and complaining, or making Meryl Streep a glamorous idol star, the audience may not buy it;

"'The Lobster' was delayed due to a series of problems, and I accidentally got the news, and I thought that you should like this work very much, it is a comedy, but it has black humor, and the whole performance style is more restrained, showing a subtle state of performance, which is very suitable for you, and I think you should be able to play a role, so I took the initiative to contact Ogels and started a simple discussion, I think, this should be an interesting project. Andy concluded.

After a slight pause, Andy didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone respond, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Lan Li?" Because Lan Li is not such an impolite person, it is impossible to interrupt the conversation for no reason, there must be a reason for this: for example, falling into a state of thinking?

"Oh, sorry, I'm just recalling the script and the characters, but the memory is a little blurry. The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly.

Andy has never forgotten his persistence, which is a good thing, and their cooperation is indeed getting better and better.

"I read so much of the script at the time that I couldn't remember it in the end. "But I'm interested, I'm just thinking that Oggs won't necessarily agree." Because Lan Li knew that Ogles later chose Colin Farrell.

"We haven't gotten to that yet. Andy explained, "Remember my first question: if you want to have a good rest, then we turn it down, there's always an opportunity, and if you're willing to work on a film in November or December, then I'll talk to Oggels about it." This is only the stage of a preliminary exchange of views. “

Andy's thoughtfulness made Lan Li laugh happily, but he gave a positive answer like that, and instead looked left and said to him, "Do you know what I've been doing in London lately?"

"Let me guess, West End?" Andy answered, and it wasn't a time-old problem.

Lan Li is even happier, "I recently watched some plays, and then met with a few directors and producers, you know, the atmosphere in the West End is really a paradise for actors, there are plays staged every day, there are creative collisions every day, every day is constantly improving, and acting is such a wonderful thing here, both as an audience and as a creator, it is an intoxicating hot land. ”

As he spoke, Lan Li couldn't help but sit up a little straighter, "I thought, maybe I should take some time out again to really complete a year's performance on the theater stage, not for breakthroughs or challenges, but just to enjoy the performance, how wonderful it would be." I now finally understand the thoughts of the actors and actresses, and standing on the stage itself is happiness. ”

It was customary for British actors to return to London's West End every once in a while. Lan Li had never questioned it before, but he couldn't really understand why, but now he understands that acting is not just a challenge, but also a pleasure.

Andy could feel Lan Li's cheerfulness and couldn't help but chuckle.

"And," Lan Li said impatiently, "Last night, Rooney and I discussed starring in the series. Although everyone says that TV dramas still rely more on screenwriters, and the actors have less room to play, do you remember? I picked out those scripts at the beginning of the year, and now there are more and more wonderful plays, and the creative content allowed in TV dramas is gradually surpassing that of movies, and the boundaries that actors can explore are getting wider and wider, which is a very interesting thing. ”

"Compared with movies, TV dramas have a longer context and larger capacity, allowing actors to perform in a chain-like area and shape the characters, just like the original 'Pacific War', which puts forward higher requirements for the integration of actors and scripts, which I think is worth studying. Of course, I'm talking about short dramas or limited dramas, and those long-form dramas are another story. Lan Li couldn't help but laugh herself, and her words revealed lightness.

Andy can also feel that sense of well-being from the inside out.

"So, I mean time, if I have the chance, I'm still willing to appear in a drama or a TV series, and the same goes for movies. So far this year, I've spent most of my time resting on a 'Jurassic World' film, and if there are other opportunities to act in it now, I can't be more than happy to let it go. Lan Li finally gave the answer.

Andy pursed the corners of his lips and chuckled smugly: With such an answer, it is not surprising at all, Lan Li is still the same Lan Li, and it has not changed, "Okay, I know, I will contact Ogels, and leave the follow-up to me, and talk about what the situation is." Before the news comes out, you should enjoy this short vacation. ”
