Without deliberately exaggerating, nor deliberately emphasizing, even the standard handshake on the occasion of cooperation was skipped, not to mention any serious and profound topics such as the distribution of interests and the proportion of power, Lan Li and Bob were discussing whether they should meet for brunch tomorrow, and finalized the "Rogue One" partnership in a relaxed and simple conversation.

After the two sides made a friendly gesture lightly, neither of them continued to discuss work, not even mentioning the movie, but chatting about ...... Weather.

The weather in Park City, the weather in Los Angeles, the weather in New York, January in the Northern Hemisphere always makes people want to escape to the equator or the southern hemisphere to enjoy the sun.

An Englishman and an American just talked about the weather, bathed in the Los Angeles sun.

In fact, the British only like to chat, and most of the content is complaining about the bad weather in the British Isles, rain and cloudy days, sometimes experiencing four seasons in one day, and not seeing the sun for many years, which makes them babble about the weather and the stories derived from the bad weather for thirty minutes, but now that it is sunny outside, Lan Li and Bob still discuss it with relish, which makes people a little unbearable.

The atmosphere in the carriage was harmonious.

Los Angeles International Airport is very convenient to get to the city, and it only takes 20 minutes to get to the city without traffic jams.

But instead of going straight back to his apartment, Lan Li went straight to Burbank to prepare for a simple script meeting with the team of the "Super Marines"; Bob naturally couldn't have been more welcoming, escorting Lan Li all the way to Disney's headquarters in Burbank, and then putting Lan Li down, and then leaving.

Andy didn't get out of the car, but got into the back seat and left with Bob.

The conversation between Lan Li and Bob was just a verbal agreement, and the two never talked about the most important part of the collaboration: the salary and the power of the producer.

Everyone knows that this is the core driving force of Hollywood. Universal Pictures' "Jurassic Park" project has been dragging on for more than a year, and the back-and-forth negotiations have really made people lose all patience and can't even roll their eyes, but in Hollywood it is the norm. It comes down to profit, Thomas Tool, and so does Ron Meyer.

In fact, Andy has now put the "Jurassic Park" project into the cold palace, and he doesn't expect Lan Li to join at all, and his negotiation work is also in a state of passive slackness, and even for other projects of Universal Pictures, Andy is already lacking in interest, because Lan Li doesn't need to look at Universal Pictures' face at all, and the current work is no longer finished. At present, Andy still has not completely torn his face, on the one hand, for Paul Walker, and on the other hand, for Vin Diesel. That's all.

Compared with the procrastination and entanglement of Universal Pictures, Disney has shown its determination and perseverance, even compared to Warner Bros. during Barry Meyer's pilotage. The "Jurassic Park" project has been discussed since last year's Oscar night, and there is still no breakthrough in going around and now, while "Rogue One" has only been mentioned intermittently two or three times, but in the blink of an eye, it has been officially decided, this is the gap.

Of course, so far, Lan Li and Bob have not discussed the most critical part of the distribution of interests, which also means that the two sides have never touched the most difficult and difficult part, and the cooperation has not encountered difficulties for the time being.

Disney attaches great importance to the Star Wars series, they don't want anything to go wrong, and Andy is especially looking forward to Lan Li being able to create a classic character through the Star Wars series, for the sake of his career, but also for Andy's selfishness. This also means that both sides must be more cautious in the negotiation of interests.

This negotiation is not so easy, Bob and Lan Li can talk and laugh, but they must show their strength when facing Andy.

The doors were closed, the engine started, Andy could even see from the rearview mirror that Lan Li's figure had not completely disappeared, and the atmosphere in the carriage had become completely different, Bob was still the same Bob, but the strength of the superior quietly began to straighten his waist, and his whole eyes and smile became sharp.

Andy is not a rookie, and he is not in a hurry, although he favors "Rogue One", and in the case of selfishness, he still hopes that Lan Li can join, but work is work, and when it comes to salary and benefits, he will never be soft. The more you pay attention to it, the more you need to take it seriously!

"Lan Li is gone, so I guess we should pull out our shields and swords next. Andy still looked like Maitreya Buddha, lazily leaning on the back of the chair, squinting slightly, and joking with a smile, which made the driver secretly glance in the rearview mirror Is this still the guy who was just sitting in the passenger seat and was nervous, suffering from gains and losses?

Bobby's one-second face-changing technique is really good, and Andy's ability to switch is definitely not bad.

In the face of Andy's teasing and playful gesture, the corners of Bob's mouth rose slightly, and he seemed to make a smiling expression, but there was no smile in his eyes, the mask of the superior was ready, and he was not moved at all, and there was a hint of aggression between his words, "Are you preparing a shield or a sword?"

Andy didn't panic either, his narrowed eyes opened slightly, and he teased meaningfully, "I don't know, I still have room to attack." "Isn't it Disney who has the absolute initiative?

Bob's expression didn't change at all, he didn't even speak, but waited quietly for Andy to make a condition.

The difference between a seller's market and a buyer's market is immediately apparent. Standing in front of Universal Pictures, more often than not, the other party is putting forward conditions, but now Disney is blatantly asking Andy to be the first to show his hole cards, and there are still remnants of the cordiality and friendliness in the face of Lan Li, but Bob's attitude has turned a hundred and eighty degrees.

The pulling and fighting for the initiative began from the first sentence, and this war without gunpowder has just begun.

Andy was not surprised at all, but he didn't follow Bob's way, but according to his own way and pace, and mentioned another thing, "You said, the script is still in the creation stage? I don't know which part of the story has been progressed to? Since you want to build the character around Lan Li, does that mean that there is only a story line and characters now? There are no lines yet? Or, even the characters have not been determined yet?"

Bob's chips are the Star Wars series.

Andy's chip is a blue gift.

Both are negotiating on their own ground.

Andy didn't start directly from the salary, because this is the hole card, he must start from the producer's rights, little by little to strip off the distribution of Lan Li's "producer" power and responsibilities, and accurately implement it When talking about the script and role, this is the area where Lan Li has the upper hand, and Andy can win more initiative.

It no longer matters who is holding the shield and who is holding the sword, and the sword can be faintly seen flying in the carriage.

……

Lan Li stood in place and watched the car drive away, the cooperation negotiations on "Rogue One" have just begun, but for Lan Li, more important than the appearance and salary of "Rogue One" is Disney's attitude, following Warner Bros. and Sony Classics, Disney has also successfully entered the game, plus Sundance who ended smoothly, everything is going according to plan.

Regardless of whether he can star in "Rogue One" in the end, and under what conditions, Lan Li has already achieved his goal!

His footsteps paused for a moment, and then Lan Li turned around without hesitation and strode forward.

"Welcome to Disney, is there anything I can help you with?" the front desk staff of the Disney office building took the initiative to stand up and greet Lan Li with a smile on their faces.

The opening remarks have formed a conditioned reflex, almost blurted out, after speaking, the staff realized the identity of the person who came, the surprise and stunned could not be concealed at all, the exclamation was almost about to break free from the throat, although the last moment was still barely controlled themselves, but the open mouth and eyes full of fright still did not have time to hide.

In an instant, the other party still forced himself to calm down, "...... Excuse me...... Ahem...... I mean, what's the matter with your visit to Disney today? Do you need me to guide you?" he tried his best to stay calm, but his words were still a little messy," ...... Mr. Hall. ”

A smile appeared in Lan Li's eyes, "I thought you should get used to it, this is Burbank, and it's Disney." ”

The real big names are gathered!

Because Burbank is a large filming location, it is normal for actors and directors to come in and out, and many of the behind-the-scenes production is done here, in addition to the daily office staff.

The other party was slightly stunned, and then laughed heartily, not hiding his excitement and excitement anymore, he was still trying to maintain a professional image, but now it is not necessary, "But not everyone is you." ”

"Oh. Lan Li raised her eyebrows, and a smile bloomed, "Thank you." Then he turned his head and looked around, "I'll make sure there are no other peers around, otherwise it might cause intense jealousy." A small joke made the atmosphere natural, and the other party also laughed, "I came here today to visit the crew of the 'Super Marine Corps', I didn't have an appointment, but I communicated with the crew in advance to understand the situation, saying that they would be here all day." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes. The other party was half a beat slower to react.
