1840 Inside the crew

The fact that Ranley Hall and Thomas Toole have become enemies is actually very interesting, "ridiculous" funny, because there is no direct conflict of interest between them, and there is no need to fight to the death.

Although the box office dividend ratio of "Jurassic World" does exceed expectations, objectively speaking, the interests of Lan Li and Thomas do not overlap, at least not like Harvey Weinstein clash head-on, which also means that even if the two cannot be friends, they will not become enemies.

However, perhaps fate is like this, there is only a thin line between friends and enemies, and the differences caused by personality and attitude, concept and status, class and style, etc., after a certain period of fermentation and brewing, the two sides have gone in completely different directions.

It seems that before they can figure out what is going on, Lan Li and Thomas have become enemies, which is strange but is actually playing out. Now, these two enemies want to work together to create the work "Jurassic World", which is really a cold sweat.

In the case of internal contradictions among the crew, they must work together, such situations are countless in Hollywood, the worst situation is the "future water world", the whole crew fell apart, so that it finally suffered a fiasco;

Actually, for Lan Li, this is not a difficult thing, he doesn't mind and doesn't care, because he and Thomas don't have much intersection at all. What Thomas cares about, Lan Li will not be greedy and will not be excessive, he only sticks to his due, which is enough, and now, he is willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to the work of the crew, and the performance is what he cares about, and that's all.

As for Thomas, in fact, he only needs to do his job, don't interfere in the acting work, and don't interfere with Lan Li's work, then Lan Li will not interfere with his work. Then, the crew can be completely safe.

To put it simply, as long as Thomas keeps to himself, everything will be fine.

The question now is, is Thomas smart enough, or is Thomas far-sighted enough? Can he be rational and calm enough to realize that it is the right choice to put aside personal grievances and work together for the sake of the interests of both parties and for his own future? Can he step out of the trap of personal emotions and shift his attention away from Lan Li, on his work, and even on his own reputation, and show the overall picture and the overall view of the real superior?

Look at Barry Meyer, and then look at Bob Iger.

So, will "Jurassic World" become another "future water world" or another "Titanic"? All this is unknown, but the prerequisites are all in the hands of Thomas.

In Lan Li's view, this dispute is over, and the result is self-evident: if Thomas is smart enough, he should choose interests, not choose to be angry.

Turning around and taking a step, Lan Li left the whole thing behind, as if nothing really had happened. Instead of spending time on these trivial and boring things, it is better to concentrate on work, this is Lan Li's philosophy of life, and now the thought of being able to plunge into the world of acting again is a little exciting to think about.

Colin stood uneasily at the door of the crew's makeshift cabin, walking back and forth like ants on a hot pot, unable to hide his anxiety: to be honest, even he didn't know what he was worried about, just sheer anxiety and irritability, and if he continued to stay indoors, he might not be able to breathe.

"I thought the crew should be very busy right now in preparation for the start of filming, but now I see the director hanging out, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

In the distance, a relaxed and teasing voice came, and even if you didn't see the facial expressions, you could still catch the shallow smile in the words, and it seemed that the corners of the mouth could be drawn up.

Colin turned around suddenly, and then saw Lan Li, wearing a simple T-shirt with jeans, his messy hair swaying wildly in the gentle breeze, bathed in the sun, without too many words, the breath on his body can make people relax, Colin himself didn't realize that his tense emotions relaxed a lot.

"Lan Li, are you okay?" Colin's words blurted out like this, completely ignoring Lan Li's ridicule just now, and expressing his worries to himself.

Lan Li walked over with a comfortable step, "I'm fine, what can I do wrong?"

It was only then that Colin noticed his language problem: he didn't know what was going on, so he took it for granted that Thomas was the "bad guy" and Lan Li was the "victim", which was the only way to express his concern. Now that he reacted, Colin also realized that his idea didn't make sense at all, and his worries were completely unnecessary.

So, what was his anxiety about?

"Hey, hey. Colin didn't know how to explain it, so he just smiled awkwardly and muttered something meaningless.

Lan Li didn't mind, and looked around, "What about the others, how about it, I have this honor, could you please introduce the crew members to me?"

"Of course, of course. Colin nodded again and again, looked left and right, and then realized that the door was behind him, and made an inviting gesture, looking at Lan Li, his expression was a little restrained, "They are all in the house." ”

Lan Li walked straight over, leisurely slowing down beside Colin.

"Lan Li, it's a pleasure to meet you. It wasn't until then that Colin had a chance to speak, because everything was happening so fast that he hadn't even had a chance to introduce himself.

"I mean, it's been an absolute pleasure to work with you! I'm really, really excited! I know I haven't done feature films before, but I'm going to do my best. I have some ideas for shooting, if you have any comments, please feel free to let me know and we can sit down and talk slowly. I think it's a great opportunity and I'll take it!"

Although Colin is the director, the real initiative of the whole film is in the hands of Lan Li. If Lan Li wanted to change the way he shot or the style, Colin had no chance to refute it.

Hollywood is a producer system, the producer has the power of life and death of the entire crew, and the top actor will stand at the top of the pyramid after becoming a producer. In the "Jurassic World" crew, Lan Li's power is the greatest, even Thomas has to stand aside, and no one can make decisions over Lan Li when it comes to the filmmaking part. This is precisely the reason why Thomas is so unbalanced, and the power that Lan Li has is exactly what Thomas desires the most.

Of course, Colin, as a director, if he wants to hold power, he can straighten his waist, reiterate his position without humility or arrogance, and say "ugly words" before cooperating, even in the face of top superstars, he will never compromise. But...... The object of cooperation is Lan Li, the reputation and strength of the undoubted Lan Li, who has really conquered the independent film Lan Li with talent and ability, not just a superstar, Colin does not think that he needs to emphasize the "director's dominance", on the contrary, he is very much looking forward to the cooperation with Lan Li, if Lan Li is willing to direct, he will raise his hands and feet in favor.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lan Li's prestige in the field of independent cinema is overtaking the Coen brothers, Quentin Tarantino, Robert Redford and others to build their own fame. Especially with a series of actions by Sisyphus Films, as well as Robert Redford's endorsement, Lan Li has won the respect of independent art creators.

Lan Li laughed, "I'm an actor, you're a director, so let's stick to this position, it's a good thing for the crew and the movie." ”

Colin blinked, not understanding what Lan Li meant, but he didn't have time to ask, and in a moment of hesitation, the footsteps of the two people had already entered the room.

There was a lot of noise in the room.

Bryce sat cross-legged on the sofa next to her, reading the script carefully, but in fact, her mind was absent-minded, and she couldn't help but think about how she should act, so as not to exert too much force and then ruin the rhythm of commercial films, and at the same time, she couldn't help but recall Lan Li's acting habits

The memories of filming "Me Fighting Cancer" have become blurred, and she is not sure if her mentality has changed because of EGOT, after all, there have been too many "changes" between Lan Li at that time and Lan Li now, at least in the eyes of onlookers.

As for Lan Li and Thomas, Bryce didn't have the slightest worry, she was sure that Thomas couldn't have any effect on Lan Li, and it should be Thomas who really fell behind.

Not far away, Jack and Nick, Simpkins and others were scattered around, on the floor, on the sofa, at the desk, everyone was clustered together, Simpkins was telling the story with his eyebrows fluttering, if you listened carefully, you could find that he was retelling his two meetings with Lan Li, dancing with his hands and feet to match his words, and the appearance of the painting made everyone else next to him laugh happily, and the atmosphere was so lively.

At this time, Jack's position was facing the door, and he was the first to see Lan Li's appearance, but he didn't care, he just raised his right hand and waved it casually, his relaxed and comfortable expression was extremely comfortable, he didn't pay attention to Lan Li and Thomas turning away, as if he didn't understand the deep meaning behind it, and his heartless appearance was in stark contrast to Colin's nervousness.

In fact, Jack's logic is very simple, Lan Li will definitely be able to solve the problem, if even Lan Li can't solve it, then they can't solve this problem even more so-called "the sky falls, and there is a high support", and Lan Li is now the tallest one in the whole of Hollywood.

In addition, the other members of the crew also gathered together bustlingly.
