Did not deliberately exaggerate, and did not deliberately emphasize, even the standard handshake part of the cooperation occasion was skipped directly, let alone serious and profound topics such as the distribution of benefits and the weight of power. Lan Li and Bob were just discussing Thinking about whether we should have a party for a brunch tomorrow, in a relaxed and simple atmosphere of conversation, we have finalized the partnership of Rogue One.

After the two sides finished their friendly statements lightly, neither of them continued to discuss work, nor even mentioned the movie, but chatted about the...weather.

The weather in Park City, the weather in Los Angeles, the weather in New York, the northern hemisphere in January always makes people want to escape to the equator or the southern hemisphere to enjoy the sun.

An Englishman and an American just talked about the weather seriously-bathing in the sunshine of Los Angeles.

In fact, the British people only like to chat. Most of the content is about the bad weather in the British Isles, rain and cloudy, and sometimes four seasons can be experienced in one day, and they are watched for years and months. Without the sun, this allows them to complain about the weather and the stories derived from the bad weather within 30 minutes; but now it is obviously sunny outside, and Lan Li and Bob are still discussing with relish, which makes people somewhat You can't help but laugh.

The atmosphere in the carriage was harmonious.

Los Angeles International Airport is very convenient to get to the city. If there is no traffic jam, only 20 minutes is enough.

However, Lan Li did not choose to go directly to his apartment. Instead, he went straight to Burbank to prepare for a simple script meeting with the "Big Marine Corps" team; Bob naturally couldn't be more welcoming and escorted Lan Li all the way. Arrived at Disney's headquarters building in Burbank, and then put down Lan Li, and then left.

Andy didn't get out of the car, but got in the back seat and left with Bob.

The conversation between Lan Li and Bob just now was just a verbal agreement. The two people never talked about the most important part of the cooperation: the film remuneration and the power of the producer.

Everyone knows that this is the core source of motivation for Hollywood. Universal Pictures’ "Jurassic Park" project has been dragged for more than a year, and the repeated negotiations really made people lose all patience, and they can’t even roll their eyes. But it is the norm in Hollywood. In the final analysis, it is because of interests. Thomas Tour is the same, and Ron Meyer is the same.

In fact, Andy has now entered the "Jurassic Park" project into the cold palace, and does not expect Renly to join, and his negotiation work is also in a state of negativity, even in other projects of Universal Pictures, Andy also There is already a lack of interest, because Lan Li doesn't need to look at Universal Pictures' face at all, and now he can't finish his work. At present, Andy still hasn't completely torn his face, on the one hand for Paul Walker, on the other hand for Van Diesel. That's it.

Compared with Universal Pictures' procrastination and entanglement, Disney has shown its determination and perseverance, even compared to Warner Bros. during the lead of Barry Meyer. The "Jurassic Park" project began to be discussed on the Oscar night last year, and there is still no breakthrough progress. "Rogue One" has only been mentioned twice and three times intermittently, but in a blink of an eye, it has been officially finalized. It's the gap.

Of course, so far Renly and Bob have not discussed the most critical part of the distribution of benefits. This also means that the two sides have never touched the most difficult and difficult part, and the cooperation has not encountered difficulties for the time being. It is conceivable that even The "Jurassic Park" project is already like this, so next, the negotiation of "Rogue One" cannot be taken lightly.

Disney attaches great importance to the Star Wars series, and they don't want any mistakes; and Andy is also particularly looking forward to Ren Li's ability to create a classic character through the Star Wars series. For the sake of his career, Andy's selfishness is even more. This also means that both parties must be more cautious in the process of interest negotiation.

This negotiation is not so easy and simple. Bob and Lan Li can talk and laugh, but they must show their strength when facing Andy.

With the door closed and the engine started, Andy could even see in the rearview mirror that Lanly’s figure had not completely disappeared, and the atmosphere in the compartment had been completely different. Bob is still the same Bob, but the superior is strong. Quietly, he straightened his waist, and his eyes and smile became sharp.

Andy is not a rookie, and he is not in a hurry. Although he favors Rogue One and is selfish, he still hopes that Lan Li can join; but work is work. When it comes to remuneration and benefits, he It will never be soft. The more you pay attention, the more you need to take it seriously!

"Lan Li has already left, so I guess we should take out the shield and sword next." Andy still looks like the Maitreya Buddha, leaning lazily on the back of his chair, squinting his eyes slightly. He joked with a smile, which made the driver sneak a glance in the rearview mirror—is this the guy who was just sitting in the front passenger seat worried and worried about gains and losses?

Bobby's one-second face changing technique is really good; Andy's ability to switch connections is definitely not bad.

Facing Andy's joking gesture, Bob raised his mouth slightly, seeming to make a smiling expression, but there was no smile at all in his eyes. The mask of the upper man was ready and he was not moved at all. There was also a hint of aggression between the words, "Are you preparing a shield or a sword?"

Andy didn't panic either. The narrowed eyes opened slightly, and he teased meaningfully, "I don't know, I still have room for attack." Isn't it that Disney takes the absolute initiative?

Bob's expression did not change, he did not even speak, but quietly waited for Andy to make a request.

The difference between a seller's market and a buyer's market is immediately apparent. Standing in front of Universal Pictures, more often than not, the other party is making conditions; but now Disney blatantly asks Andy to show his trump card first-the kindness and friendliness of facing Lan Li still remain in the carriage, Bob's But his attitude has turned one hundred and eighty degrees.

The pulling and fighting for the initiative started from the first sentence. This war without gunpowder has just kicked off.

Andy was not surprised at all, but he did not follow Bob's way, but according to his own way and rhythm, and brought up another thing, "You said, the script is still in the writing stage? I don't know where it is. Part? Since I hope to build characters around Lan Li, does that mean that there are only story lines and characters? There are no lines yet? Or is that even the characters have not been determined yet?"

Bob's bargaining chip is the Star Wars series.

Andy's bargaining chip is Lan Li.

Both of them are starting from their own positions to start negotiations.

Andy didn’t directly start with the pay, because this is the trump card, he must cut in from the rights of the producers, and strip away the distribution of the power and responsibilities of Lan Li’s "producers" bit by bit, and accurately implement it—— When it comes to scripts and roles, this is where Lan Li has the upper hand, and Andy can win more initiative.

It is no longer important who is holding the shield and who is holding the sword. In the carriage, you can already see the shadow of the sword and the sword flying.

...

Lan Li stood in place and watched the car go away. The cooperation negotiation on "Rogue One" has just started, but for Lan Li, it is more important than the appearance and pay of "Rogue One". It is Disney's attitude. After Warner Bros. and Sony Classics, Disney has also entered the game smoothly. With the smooth ending of Sundance, everything is proceeding step by step according to the plan.

Regardless of whether or not he can appear in "Rogue One" in the end, and under what conditions, Lan Li has achieved his goal!

After a short pause, Lan Li turned around without hesitation and strode forward.

"Welcome to Disney, what can I do to help you?" The front desk staff of the Disney office building stood up on their own initiative~www.novelhall.com~ to welcome the arrival of Lan Li with a smile.

The opening remarks have formed a conditioned reflex and almost blurted out; after speaking, the staff realized the identity of the visitor. The surprise and astonishment could not be concealed, and the exclamation almost broke free from the shackles of the throat, even though the last moment Still reluctantly controlled himself, but the open mouth and eyes full of shock still hadn't had time to conceal it.

In the instant of chaos, the other party forced himself to calm down, "...Excuse me...cough cough...I mean, may I ask if there is anything to do with Disney today? Do you need me to guide you?" I tried my best to stay calm, but The words were still a little messy, "...Mr. Hall."

A smile appeared in Lan Li's eyes, "I thought you should get used to it. This is Burbank, and it's Disney."

The real big names gather!

Because Burbank is a large-scale filming base, the in and out of actors and directors are really normal. In addition to the daily work staff, many behind-the-scenes production links are completed here.

The other party was slightly stunned, and then laughed heartily. He did not conceal his excitement and excitement. He originally tried to maintain a professional image, but now it is not necessary. "But not everyone is you."

"Oh." Lan Li raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Thank you." Then he turned his head and looked around, "I first make sure that there are no other colleagues around, otherwise it may cause intense jealousy." A little joking made the atmosphere natural, and the other party also laughed, "I made a special trip to visit the crew of'Big Hero 6'today. I didn't have an appointment time, but I communicated with the crew in advance to understand the situation. , Saying they will be here all day."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes." The opponent reacted after a half beat.
