2116 Thanksgiving Schedule
As Andy said, no one can say no to Lan Li.
Even if the director or producer is not interested in Lan Li, as long as Lan Li likes the role, he will do his best - if he still can't reach a cooperation after trying his best, then Lan Li can let go without regrets, at least he tried. But for now, there is no record of failure.
Owgels ...... He was a persistent director, and his stubbornness was no less than that of Lan Li, but even so, Ogles had to admit that Lan Li's thinking about the role did bring him a lot of inspiration and showed his unique texture as an actor.
In that meeting, from beginning to end, Lan Li did not mention "I am the most suitable actor for the role", "I sincerely hope to be able to appear in this work", nor did he refute the reasons for Ogels' rejection of Andy, but sincerely and attentively exchanged his views on the script and the role, and the professional attitude throughout the whole process impressed Ogels.
After the meeting, it was not difficult for Ogles to find that Lan Li did not need to refute at all, and the reasons he used to reject Andy were actually his presuppositions for the role of David, but if this presupposition was incomplete or even wrong, then could he still refuse Lan Li?
Ogles also does not know the answer for the time being.
He needs a little time, some time to revise the script and re-conceive, some time to determine the main line and brighten the core, and some time to rebuild and polish and repair, just like Lan Li's sentence, "You have to figure out what emotions you want the audience to feel after watching the movie, hope or despair."
He, it takes time.
What's more, even if Owgels has now made up their minds and sincerely hopes that Lanli will join, they still have many problems to face:
Aside from schedules, co-actors, producer powers, etc., salary is a very intuitive focus.
According to the original plan, Jason Clark was hired to play the leading role, and the salary was only 300,000 US dollars, and now the substitute actors that Ogues is thinking about are all paid less than 200,000 yuan - Rachel Weisz, Ben Whishaw, Léa Seydoux and other actors are all independent film regulars, although they are famous, they are good and cheap; as for Lan Li, Oucks is not sure.
Of course, there are a lot of rumors in the industry about Lan Li, and Lan Li has indeed starred in many independent art films, and the salary has never been a problem, but it must be noted that all these things happened before 2014!
At the beginning of this year, "Rogue One" and "Jurassic World" signed contracts with Lan Li successively, and successively refreshed the industry's salary benchmark, which also made Lan Li truly the first person in the industry;
A million dollars?
That sounds a bit outrageous. But if it is higher, Oulgels is not very willing, because the investment in the whole film is only 4 million euros, a quarter of which is used to pay for the actors' salaries, the remuneration of the crew's behind-the-scenes staff, and the cost of the actors, etc., and he really does not have much balance left for Lan Li.
In a sense, Ochlets does dislike the blue gift too big a brand.
All in all, the cooperation between Lanli and "Lobster" has not yet been decided, and in the next period of time, further consideration is needed to find a suitable solution.
Whether it is the original planned "Rogue One" or the new planned "Lobster", they are unlikely to start in October, which is supposed to be a short holiday for Lanli.
Lane returned to New York to appear at the New York Film Festival, then to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she saw Anne Silriman and the other little ones again for the first time in a long time, and then followed the Heather Cross Foundation to visit several hospitals and visit children who were seriously ill.
In addition, Lan Li also sneaked to Banff National Park in Canada, where he spent a week, camping, hiking, rock climbing, etc., to really get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, let his mood settle down, and temporarily leave everything behind - including "lobster", including performances, including London, all of which were left in the traffic of the city, and simply enjoyed his good time with nature.
If it weren't for the work again, Lan Li would be more than happy to stay in the national park for a while, and the golden autumn and October are the most gorgeous and charming time of the Canadian red maple.
Reds, yellows, and greens are all mixed together, brilliant and bold in every corner of the sight, and then spread out like a fire in the mountains, and then the grays, blacks, cyans, and blues light up little by little, and the whole world is reminiscent of an overturned paint plate, but it paints an irreplaceable masterpiece, and who can refuse?
If he could, Lan Li would like to disappear here for a month and truly open his arms to embrace nature and enjoy life, but unfortunately, Lan Li still has to return to the city, because Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the premiere of "Super Marines" is calling.
After the end of the summer season, the North American market has entered the most deserted autumn season of the year, but obviously, this year's schedule is slightly abnormal.
There were a number of large-scale productions of Waterloo in the summer season, and the overall performance of the market was still slightly lower than expected, while the autumn season unexpectedly appeared a number of topical works, and the box office level and discussion heat of the entire schedule created a new high, which made North America a voice of consternation.
First of all, another work in the teen adaptation boom, "Moving Labyrinth", the actor is played by Dylan-O'Brein, who became famous with the TV series "Young Wolf", which accidentally detonated the big screen, although the media reputation is only hovering on the verge of passing, but the box office data is very good:
It easily topped the show with $32 million in its opening weekend, and the cumulative box office has reached 98 million so far, and it is about to break 100 million. It's a good result for a teen film with an investment cost of only 34 million and no big-name stars, and at the same time, it has sparked a lot of discussion on social networks, and many child stars have once again become the hot spotlight - don't forget, this is still a cold autumn season.
Then the middleweight action movie "Avenger" starring Denzel Washington exploded a little, and the box office data was a small surprise compared to the autumn season, but the real focus came to the Halloween schedule.
David Fincher's "Gone Girl" starring Ben Affleck was both popular at the public and box office, and with the unparalleled popularity of discussions on social networks, the overall performance of the market box office easily surpassed that of "The Social Network", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and won the championship on its opening weekend, earning $137 million in just five weeks of release, which has become the highest-grossing work of David's career.
What's more, this work has already entered the field of vision of the awards season early.
The movie "The Conjuring" series of the biquel "Annabelle" also performed well, the opening weekend and the "Gone Girl" inseparable, and finally fell behind less than $400,000 to the runner-up, although the follow-up trend is still guilty of horror movies, after all, it has not been able to keep up with the pace of "Gone Girl", but so far the revenue of $8,000, compared to the ultra-low production cost of $6.5 million, has been profitable.
What's more, the box office performance in overseas markets is also very gratifying.
Then, the small-budget action movie "Fast Pursuit" unexpectedly detonated the media reputation, and Keanu Reeves, who was basically recognized as burying the actor's career last year because of the loss of the two works "Tai Chi" and "Forty-Seven Ronin" to vomit blood, starred in the work with an ultra-low salary-
Because Chad-Stahelski, one of the two directors, served as Keanu's stuntman as early as the "speed of life and death" period, and he had a strong relationship, but he didn't expect it to become a turning point in Keanu's career, reappearing at the dawn, and after the word-of-mouth explosion, the box office also gave a small surprise.
The autumn file, which was once deserted to the point that no one cared about, although it should have hit the streets, Universal Pictures' $70 million investment to create "Dracula's First Year" still made a mess, and Robert Downey Jr.'s "Judge Dad" also swooped down, but this year, there have been a number of works that have sparked discussion topics, making September and October present a completely different scene, which is indeed very rare.
Undoubtedly, last year's "gravity" was the key to turning the whole situation around, and now Hollywood studios are starting to develop more schedule effects throughout the year.
However, in the last week of October, the market was still relatively deserted, and the second week of its release, "Death Divination", won the top spot with a weekend box office of $10 million, and the cumulative box office in the two weeks of release was 34 million, which can be regarded as a small profit compared to the investment of 5 million - allowing Universal Pictures to reduce some losses.
In addition to "Death Divination", the new releases "Before I Fell to Sleep" and "Chainsaw 10th Anniversary" all hit the streets, the former starring Nicole Kidman, Colin Firth and Mark Strong (Mark-Strong), and the latter was a special screening held on the 10th anniversary of the release of "Chainsaw", all seven series of films were re-released for a week, but unfortunately, the market was not able to give enough response.
The whole market seems to be back to the normal rhythm of autumn stalls, which is extremely dull. There is a reason for this, because next week the North American market is about to usher in the first blockbuster work of the holiday schedule, "Super Marines", which is not only about to announce the holiday program, but also a sign of the end of the autumn season-
The "Super Marines", with an investment cost of up to 165 million, are undoubtedly the seed players for Disney to dominate the family box office market at the end of each year, and other film works have retreated.
