Chapter 184

Langley pushes the door and comes in. Andy and Rodriguez, who are sitting in the hall, come in. He waves his hand and says, "good evening." Then I didn't plan to stay, pointing to the direction of the room. "I'm a little tired. I'll take a shower first, and then I'll have a rest first."

Andy has three black lines on his forehead and shouts, "blue, wait, don't you wonder why Rodriguez is here? We are in your room, not mine. "

"Oh." Blue Li just at this time reaction come over, gently closed jaw, "you are discussing work?" The ending went up, and then he said, "keep busy. Just let me know when you come to the conclusion."

Lanli really doesn't care about the affairs outside the performance. Andy can't laugh or cry because of his light appearance. "Lanli, you can give us some advice. It's about you. "

According to Andy's prediction, it's really difficult for "buried alive" to find a way out in the award season. The main reason is that the pattern is too small and the theme is too rigid. The biggest hope is lanli. That's not because he's the agent of Langley.

Langley hesitated for a moment, then came over, patted Rodriguez on the shoulder, and sat down on the sofa next to him.

The continuous news bombing in these three days is even harder than the shooting of "burying alive"; Moreover, when he goes out now, the audience of the film festival are beginning to recognize him one after another, which makes the trip more troublesome. Those crazy fans are always screaming in surprise. They come here from time to time, and their eardrums and nerves are undergoing severe tests. This is why he chooses to go out for a walk in the evening. In fact, now Langley is very tired, the only idea is: when will the Toronto Film Festival end?

Sitting on the sofa, Lan Li kept the etiquette. The strict noble education of this life went deep into the heart. The etiquette of basic postures, such as standing, sitting, walking, dining and greeting, was deeply imprinted in every cell. The only time he can relax is sleep, which is the reason why he is so devoted to sleep.

"Several companies have offered Rodrigo offers to be responsible for the North American distribution of live burial." Andy finished the summary with the simplest sentence, and lenley nodded to show that he understood. Then Andy continued, "I personally think lion gate is a good choice. So far, I haven't heard that they have too many moves in this year's award season, Paul Haggis and Russell Crowe's "three days in danger" is their own production and sale, and the only major play at present

Both of them are Oscar winners, so they should not be underestimated.

"This work has been put on file for November, and its quality is not known. If the harvest is positive, then there is no doubt that Lion Gate's resources are inclined towards "three days of crisis." Andy's brain is running fast. Within a few minutes after Rodriguez told him the news, the plan in his mind has drawn up a framework. "But objectively speaking, lion gate is the first company to release horror movies. It must have more skilled experience in how to operate" bury alive ". At least in terms of box office, they are trustworthy."

Speaking of this, Andy stopped for a moment, looked at Rodriguez, who was deeply in thought, and then looked at blue Li, who was calm and calm. After confirming that neither of them had any intention to speak, he continued, "however, their disadvantages are also obvious. They are still new players in Hollywood. Before that, only one 'treasure' has entered the final stage of the award season."

"Treasure" is the winner of people's Choice Award at last year's Toronto Film Festival. She won the best supporting actress and the best adapted screenplay at the Oscars with great achievements.

Rodriguez looked up with an eager look on his face. It can be seen that lion gate is in line with his psychological expectations. However, Andy raised his hand to stop Rodriguez's intention to speak, and then said, "on the other hand, if the focus film industry is concerned, there is no doubt about their college public relations strength. Every year, they will screen a large wave of potential works. With the advance of the award season, they will abandon them one by one, and finally choose seed players to concentrate on public relations operation."

"Therefore, their advantages and disadvantages are very distinct, resources are abundant enough, and competition is fierce enough." Andy could see Rodriguez frowning suspiciously, but he said, "but compared with the Fox Searchlight, this year focus has a problem. The reputation of the "Americans" they had hoped for was in a mess After landing in Venice somewhere, the response was far less than expected. The awarding season hasn't come yet, and two generals have been damaged. That's why they'll find you. "

"American" is starred by George Clooney. In the past three years, the Academy Awards have been mentioned twice“ "Somewhere" is Sofia Coppola's work, which has attracted much attention since Cleopatra's fiasco four years later.

Focus pictures has great confidence in both works, but the results are unsatisfactory, which also disrupts their initial layout. As Andy said, otherwise "buried alive" is very difficult to enter the focus of the film industry.

"Of course, Toronto is not over yet, and focus still has time. However, as far as I know, they have only one "children are very good." Andy said with confidence, "of course, the award season has not started yet, and there will be many changes in the next two or three months. The focus film industry will definitely not give up. On the one hand, they are much more likely than Lion Gate, but I think..."

Andy noticed the line of sight of lanli's exploration, and it had been a long time. He stopped, looked around, and asked with a smile, "what's wrong?"

Lan Li pursed her mouth and shook her head with a smile. "I thought you had been on holiday for the past two days. But obviously, I don't know anything at all. "

Andy's words seem to be just some details, but lanli can hear them. These news can only be obtained after a lot of investigation and inquiry. It may even need to mobilize people to exchange information. The ever-changing situation is definitely not as light as Andy said.

Lenley also realized that his previous understanding of the agent is still biased. Before the Emmy, he didn't look for an agent, it seems that he thought things too simple.

"I think that since focus pictures has noticed us, it means that we are recognized." Andy concludes, "at this point, focus is more reliable and valuable than Lion Gate."

The big stars in the industry, such as focus film, need to consider the overall situation in every decision, which works impact the best film, which works impact the single award, which types can be selected, and which types should be avoided, all of which have strategies; It's not like a small company. When you see a good work, you attack it directly. Once you win it, you start running smoothly.

"Langley, what do you think?" After making his point, Andy still throws the question to Langley.

It's not to say that Langley can give any professional advice. First, because the "buried alive" crew is too small, there are only a few people in total, and Rodriguez is willing to listen to Langley's advice; Second, because the quality of "buried alive" finished products is not high enough, if there is no accident, the impact of best actor award is their only hope. So Andy hopes that Langley can join the discussion.

With a shrug, no thought, no hesitation, Langley said dryly, "I'll choose focus."

Andy took a look at Lan Li, and his smile fell deep into his eyes. "You don't want to express your opinion, just pick one?"

Lan Li seemed to be on his mind. His smile rose in the corner of his mouth and spread out his hands. "So what answer do you expect me to give? Senior professional advice? I thought it was your job, or Rodriguez's

Objectively speaking, lanli really doesn't know much about distribution, publicity and public relations. Even if he is a man of two generations, he doesn't know anything about the last life. These are all professional work contents. The layman's random opinions are actually making trouble.

This situation is common in the film industry. The most famous one is Warner Brothers' operation of DC Comics. It is the same with "Batman vs Superman" and "suicide team". The leaders give directions to the post production of the film and think they are professional enough, but they destroy the original intention of the Creator. The quality of the finished product plummets and makes people disappointed.

Nevertheless, lanli joined the discussion. "Personally, the internal competition of focus film industry is really fierce, but their publicity system and public relations structure are also more perfect. I think your focus has deviated, and you have too high expectations for "burying alive."; I think it would be great for a movie to win a place in the awards season, but without it, it's not the end of the world. The praise that the film has gained at present is already a great affirmation. "

Lanli's mentality has always been very good, because he is focused enough and pure enough. All his attention is on the performance, and everything else is second.

"What's more, if in the competition, the focus film industry chooses to give up" buried alive ", does that mean that in the competition of the award season, we may not be able to bite the last? Even if it's Lion Gate? " Randy's two rhetorical questions let Andy and Rodriguez fall into thinking, but he stood up directly, "well, you continue to discuss slowly, the rest of the professional part, I can not give much advice, I go to prepare for a rest."

With that, Lan Li got up and left.

Andy and Rodriguez are still sitting. The living room is quiet again. After a short time, Rodriguez tentatively asks, "otherwise, I'll ask the price of focus film?"

"Good." Andy replied dryly.
