Lan Li straightened her waist and took a steady step, so she entered the studio unhurriedly, walked around the set skillfully, and then caught Jessica Chastain and Emma Thomas chatting in the corner of her eye, Lan Li took the initiative to step towards them, "Hey, good morning." ”

Jessica and Emma also greeted each other and asked about Paul's condition. "He's fine, the whole Fast & Furious crew went to visit him today, and he told jokes in the hospital room. Although I don't think my joke is funny at all. Lan Li said with a smile on his face.

Jessica was the first to clap her hands and laugh, "I can't imagine Paul telling a joke." ”

Lan Li spread his hands, with a look of "you know", and then naturally changed the topic, "Paul and I were still chatting that day, and if there is a chance in the future, we will make a project ourselves, similar to James Franco's 'Armageddon', or George Clooney's 'Ocean's Eleven, how about it, are you interested in joining?"

The light and hearty words did not hide it, and directly said what was in his heart, and Lan Li then added, "Rooney and I also said a few days ago that we can write each other's characters ourselves, you know, use your imagination and conceive the most suitable characters for each other, whether it is hoping that the opponent will break their own security domain, or hoping that the opponent will recreate the classic character, and then find a professional screenwriter to connect the whole story, which should be very interesting." ”

"Hah!" Jessica clapped her hands vigorously, her face full of joy and excitement, "Please count me in! That sounds like a very, very good idea, and wow, I'm starting to get inspired right now." As she spoke, Jessica raised her right hand in the air, as if a student was about to ask a question in class, "Excuse me, excuse me, can I write a character for Paul? I think the character of Christian Bale in 'American Hustle' is a perfect fit for Paul, haha." ”

Lan Li made up for the picture and couldn't help laughing, "Rooney conceived for Paul to be Norman in 'Ecstasy', I think this is a very wonderful choice, don't you think Paul's innocent appearance is very suitable?"

Jessica put her finger on her lips and began to think about it seriously, and couldn't help but start nodding, "Wow, this is a special choice, but can Paul unleash that evil side? No, no, no, even if not, this contrast can create more horror! The question is, which screenwriter can write such a script? The director is also very important. ”

That's how inspiration comes out, an idea is thrown out, and then all the ideas start to blow out like the Big Bang. If you can choose as many characters and images as you like in the classics of film history, it is like a treasure trove waiting for them to explore, and Jessica is already eager to try.

Emma, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but start to be curious, but she and Jessica and Lan Li thought in completely different directions, as a producer, she could feel the huge potential of this project, but she could also feel the endless risks behind it-

The slightest carelessness can be a disaster, and as Jessica says, writing and directing are very important. A good creative idea is just the beginning, but there's a lot of work to be done before the project can get to the end. An idea like Lan Li, if you don't pay attention to it, can become a parody or a collection of jokes for "Saturday Night Live", which is far from a good movie.

Emma couldn't help but join the discussion, "Has such a project found an investor?"

Of course, with the appeal of Lan Li, coupled with the star-studded cast of actors, it is not difficult to find investors at all, the difference is only in the treatment, the investment cost of 10 million and 50 million, which is a gap that can be seen with the naked eye, not to mention the impact of the gap between the shooting team and the publicity team.

A glimmer of light slipped under Lan Li's eyes, but he couldn't see it on the surface, "No, not for the time being, it's just a group of us friends brainstorming now, just like Jessica, we think this is a very interesting project." ”

Then it was a turning point, and Lan Li continued, "But my little friend set up a film investment company, and 'Burst Drummer' was co-produced by us, and finally Sony Classics was responsible for the distribution. This is the first work, and we hope that this is the beginning, and maybe, the project that is being discussed now can become our next project. ”

Emma nodded in understanding, didn't ask too much, and quipped, "That's good, set up your own company, and then have the freedom to make projects that interest you." ”

"Ideally, that's the case. Lan Li replied with a smile.

Lan Li made a special trip, on the one hand, to invite Jessica, and on the other hand, to get Emma's attention, or more precisely, Emma and Christopher's. Even if Emma sees through Lan Li's intentions, it doesn't matter, because it's a conspiracy.

"Interstellar" is Christopher's last film contract with Warner Bros., but because of the departure of Thomas Tole, there are variables, about the copyright of the cooperation, between going around and around, Emma and Christopher also have a lot of criticism about Thomas. It's just that Christopher and Thomas have a close personal relationship, so it didn't really affect the relationship between the two parties, but recently Thomas has repeatedly pressured Christopher for the sake of Lan Li, which also caused Christopher's dissatisfaction.

In a way, Christopher and Lan Li are the same kind of people, preoccupied with their work, and they are particularly disgusted by the extra factors that interfere with their creations.

Emma and Christopher have been thinking about where they go in the future.

Even though Christopher is still willing to work with Thomas, Universal Pictures is not necessarily a worthy partner to work with, compared to Warner Bros., Universal Pictures is really too stingy! Not only the production cost and the distribution team, but the entire production team seems to be small, which is really not good news for Christopher.

Christopher chose to work with Warner Bros. because of Jeff's appreciation and Thomas's support, who gave Christopher maximum creative freedom within the scope of his allowability, which allowed him to stick to his usual retro and traditional shooting style, while also exploring more possibilities in terms of subject matter and style.

Now, Jeff and Thomas are gone, and the new Kevin is a ...... People who work in the TV industry – film and television are not the same thing. Christopher is skeptical about the prospect of a partnership.

So Emma and Christopher have been thinking about the future of their collaboration, and of course they have also considered the possibility of creating their own production company, which would give Christopher more creative freedom. But it's not that simple: where should the costs and investments come from, who should be responsible for budget control and risk assessment, not to mention the subsequent distribution and publicity.

It's not for nothing that Thomas Toll's Legendary Pictures was able to carve out a niche in the industry and project more influence on Hollywood on behalf of Wall Street.

Now Lanli just provides an additional option - Sisyphus Pictures doesn't need Christopher to worry about funding at all, and all those things can be left to Andre, which is a good deal for Christopher. All he needed was to plant a seed in Emma's heart.

"Hey, good morning, what am I missing? I can see from a distance that you are talking and laughing, and it seems like you are discussing something important, how about it, can you share it together?" Anne Hathaway's figure appeared in front of her, her steps jumping happily, her red lips raised brilliantly, outlining a ray of sunshine.

Jessica didn't reveal the secret, but cast a look at Lan Li to see if Lan Li was willing to invite Annie.

Lan Li smiled slightly, "I'm asking Jessica if she'd like to work on an interesting film project, and we're looking forward to being able to create something different from each other." Well, would you be interested in challenging a different style of screen image, but I can't guarantee that it won't be more miserable than Fantine. ”

Jessica immediately understood what Lan Li meant, and then said happily, "Because Lan Li said that he thinks we can write characters for each other." There are no restrictions, you can play freely!"

Anne's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide, she made a frightened expression, and her brightly colored eyes began to rotate flexibly, "Then if I write a character for Lan Li, can I make him a man and a woman?"

Look at each other.

Collective belly hilarity!

Jessica and Emma both applauded and applauded Annie's whimsy, while Annie laughed brightly and winked playfully at Lan Li, "I'm serious, I've always looked forward to it, if you can break the shackles of image and pretend to be a woman once, the effect should be very amazing!"

Silence ensued.

Lan Li looked at the three people in front of him, their eyes were a little distracted, Lan Li immediately reacted, and looked at Jessica and Emma helplessly, "Honestly, are you guys making up the picture of me wearing women's clothes now?"

The three women quietly exchanged glances, but the smile in their eyes could not be hidden, which also indirectly confirmed Lan Li's conjecture.

Lan Li shook her head helplessly, her eyes revealing a rare embarrassment, "Ladies, your thoughts now are very dangerous. ”

This reaction caused the three women to laugh in unison, and Jessica and Anne even high-fived each other in celebration.
