The party is undoubtedly lively.

Ranley successfully meets two prolific but unique directors, Paolo Sorrentino and James Gray, and unexpectedly meets the fledgling black director Ryan-Coogler, and has fun discussing the significance of light and shadow in character development with Alain Girodi.

But at the end of the day, Lan Li still doesn't like parties very much.

He is more interested in the works created by these film practitioners than in the works created by them, as well as the creative techniques and artistic ideas that are infused into the works. Although he had seen most of the works in his previous life, the experience on the big screen in Cannes was different after all.

In short, he still likes Berlin even more.

When we left the party, just after midnight, the atmosphere had just reached the high/high tide, and a group of handsome men and women in bikinis stepped on the drums of traditional Brazilian percussion instruments, enthusiastically passing through the crowd, all of them put their hands on each other's shoulders, started the train, and danced around the rooftop.

In the atmosphere of the party, even a reserved and shy person like Jim Jarmusch can't help but join in.

Lan Li's departure did not attract any attention.

Back in her hotel room, Lan Li was ready to recharge. For others, attending the Cannes Film Festival may mean a lot of opportunity, but for Lan Li, it means a myriad of great films, and just by looking at the list, he can't wait to sit in the cinema and watch it.

After bathing and going to bed, Lan Li opened her laptop and confirmed the email sent by Andy.

The whole email is concise and organized, just listing the basic ideas and brief introduction of a series of projects, without in-depth detailed explanations and explanations, but more just a summary.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to make a judgment based on such a simple program.

Many projects are in the conceptual stage, and the director, actors, screenwriters, cinematography, creativity, framework, structure, story, etc., are not problematic or even hopeful, and in every way, this will be a work of sure success. But in practice, there are countless surprises, and the final product is not satisfactory, either unrecognizable and off track, or it is built according to the idea, but the market does not like it at all.

It's like a starting list in competitive sports. On paper, a strong team is a strong team, which is full of expectations, but the game still needs to be contested to determine the winner after all. The most typical representative is the Belgian football team, which has become the most expensive national team in Europe many times, but in the end, the performance of the European Championship and the World Cup is not satisfactory.

Movies are no exception.

Now, judging from the paper analysis of the email, there is really not much information, and I can only simply judge the subject matter and type, just like Andy's afternoon exchange, chick movies, animated movies, action movies, and so on, but that's all, it's really hard to judge in depth.

Naturally, Andy didn't force it, but just hoped that Lan Li could have a bottom line in his heart and list the bottom line so that he could further negotiate and negotiate.

At this moment, it is a good thing for Lan Li. The advantages of being born again are revealed before you know it.

"'Super Marines', anime, adapted from the original manga, set as a futuristic city where Tokyo and San Francisco come together, after 'Invincible Destruction King', a brand new work by the animation department of Disney's parent company. The male protagonist is voiced.

'Cinderella', live-action film, original animated adaptation. Play as the Prince. The All-Star lineup is being discussed.

'Tomorrowland', a sci-fi, Disney theme park inspired project, with Damon-Lindelof writing the screenplay.

'Star Wars Story: Rogue One', sci-fi. Male lead.

'Sin City 2', crime, comic book adaptation. Undecided. Robert-Rodriguez returns to directorship. ”

That's it for the full mailing list, with five projects at a glance, and without a detailed synopsis, the key points are enough to outline the entire project.

For example, there are two biggest highlights of "Tomorrowland", one is the Disney theme park, as everyone knows, the opportunity for the birth of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is Disney to promote the pirate project in the theme park.

At that time, the pirate project had gradually declined, there were fewer and fewer tourists, and it was in a state of loss, and if it did not recover the deficit, then Disney would have to spend a lot of money to tear down the entire project and build a new one. But former CEO Michael Eisner made the decision to give one last chance, and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" was born.

Now the "Tomorrowland" is facing the same situation, and it came into being.

One is screenwriter Damon Lindelof. Just like JJ Abrams, this is another Hollywood sci-fi celebrity who started with the TV series "Lost", and since then, he has also written many sci-fi works such as "Prometheus", "Star Trek: Dark", "Watch the World" and many other science fiction works.

It is rumored that in order to invite Damon to write the script of "Tomorrowland", Disney offered a million dollars. This is the top screenwriter's remuneration in the whole of Hollywood.

And so on.

At the heart of "Cinderella" is an all-star cast.

This is the first time that Disney has tried to transform an entire animated film into a live-action film — a solution to the severe lack of original scripts, and if successful, Disney's vast library will become an inexhaustible resource, easily opening up the gap to the other big five studios. Therefore, Disney is determined to drive the long-term development of the entire project with an all-star cast.

At the heart of "Super Marines" is the production of Disney's parent company.

In the past ten to fifteen years, the emergence of Pixar has completely disrupted the market pattern, replacing Disney and becoming the absolute king of the animation market. In the past, Disney was unique in the 2D animation market, but it gradually fell behind in the 3D animation market.

The work that changed all of this was "The Invincible Destroyer", which sounded the return of Disney's original animation, then "Frozen", and then "Super Marines".

In summary, this email is still full of sincerity, simple but critical, and important information is clear at a glance.

It can be seen that Disney has shown a proactive willingness to cooperate, not so much for the sake of a Vin Diesel exchange of interests, but rather that the Blue Gift is the absolute focus from beginning to end, Disney still hopes to establish a cooperative relationship with the Blue Gift-

As for Diesel?

It's just an add-on. fired a Diesel, and there are countless actors in Hollywood who are eager to play in "Guardians of the Galaxy", and Disney doesn't have to worry about the selection of actors at all.

The most surprising thing for Lan Li was "Star Wars Story: Rogue One".

There is no embellishment or explanation, and of course, it does not need to, because the existence of the project itself is the biggest highlight, and it only needs to be revealed, and more than a third of the actors in the whole of Hollywood should be eager to be a part of it. This also means that Disney can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and slowly select actors.

So, why does it have to be a blue gift?

As Lan Li and Andy said, the Marvel series and "Star Wars" are actually the same in essence, they focus on the character image and the reputation of the series, and there is no direct connection with the actors and directors, after the formation of assembly line production, even if the actors and directors are changed, the impact on the box office of the work is minimal, and the use of newcomers or second-tier and third-tier cast lineups is the most economical and effective means.

But if you think about it, there can be another explanation.

"Star Wars Story: Rogue One" is closer to an attempt, similar to the current "Cinderella" or 2008's "Iron Man" attempt, if it can be successful, then Disney can create a spin-off series around the "Star Wars" brand to maximize the benefits of the brand.

At the beginning, "Iron Man" made Robert Downey Jr., and he also became the most important core bone in the entire Marvel series, and he is also the only one among all Marvel superheroes with a transcendent salary.

Similarly, "Star Wars" made Harrison Ford, "Pirates of the Caribbean" made Johnny Depp, and now, Disney also hopes that "Star Wars Story" can achieve an absolute core, and then build another Gaiden universe around this core.

So, they took the blue gift into consideration.

Of course, all this is just Lan Li's personal conjecture, after all, he is not Robert Iger, and he is not good at business management and marketing, this inference is not necessarily accurate.

However, one thing is for sure, Rogue One is only part of Disney's blueprint, and it is up to Disney to go to what level this part will develop. In essence, this is still similar to the series of Marvel Studios. Before, Lan Li gave up "Thor", and now, after his mood changes, will he choose "Star Wars Gaiden"?

Without even further communication and understanding, Lan Li could guess that Andy couldn't suppress his excitement. Sure enough, Lan Li found a line of annotation at the bottom of the forwarded email:

Dear Lan Li, please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding Star Wars Story, I will do my best to investigate and facilitate cooperation, and I will not forget to protect your personal interests, and the agent is always my primary responsibility. I really welcome you to contact me at any time.

In his mind, Andy's eager expression naturally appeared, and Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle.

Retracting his scattered thoughts, Lan Li concentrated and made a quick judgment, a choice that was extremely difficult for others, but it couldn't be simpler for Lan Li, not to mention, now that it was only at the stage of the initial exchange of opinions, each other was weighing the chips, and things were even simpler.

So, Lan Li quickly began to reply to the email.

If Matthew sees it, he is bound to be very moved.
