As Arthur thought, returning to London, Renly was not just for George and Elizabeth——

Or in other words, it was true at first, but as time progressed, Renly’s thoughts were changing. Changing his life trajectory for the sake of George and Elizabeth was really not worth it. Even hatred and anger were not worth it. He deserves a better life.

He hopes to rebuild his homeland in London, own a piece of pure land that belongs to him, and then open up his own world.

London. new York. Los Angeles. Even in the magic capital. Or other cities. In the future, as long as he wants to, he can go to any corner of the world, chase dreams, and enjoy life. He does not need to escape because of hatred, does not need to be closed because of indifference, and does not need to be forgotten because of pain... This is his In life, he can do whatever he wants. Even in London.

In comparison, the affairs of George and Elizabeth are the least important part, because Ren Li's life has already had more important goals and meanings.

After the auction ended, Lan Li left these trivial matters behind and resumed life in London:

He still kept a low profile, rarely attended parties, and did not organize his own parties, but he still showed up at a private party of the Beckhams and stayed for about 30 minutes; he went to the West End of London to watch a lot. He also returned to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London to observe several classes. During the period, he also met with some directors and producers to discuss the project to stand on the stage of London's West End again.

He stayed at the Tate Museum of Modern Art (TATE) for a long time, away from the crowds, to appreciate art in detail; in his free time, he went to the flea market with Matthew to choose some furnishings, lamps, accessories or furniture for the house Wait, he accidentally bought a retro gramophone, which made him happy for three days, and then he slipped into the old record market, looking for vinyl records from the 1950s and 1960s.

It seems to be very long to describe, but it is only a short week before and after. During the small vacation, Lan Li still crammed up his time and schedule.

"Yes... Rooney has already set off. Put her in the car this morning." Lan Li was curled up on the sofa in the study, with a cup of coffee with a fragrant aroma, and was flipping through the original "Game of Thrones". .

Rooney came to London for transit, stayed for two days and one night, and then went to the "Peter Pan" crew to start the second film shooting in the second half of the year; similarly, Matthew, Arthur, Andre, Eaton, they are all in Busy at work, Edith flies to Los Angeles alone, ready to go to Malibu to enjoy a clean time. In a blink of an eye, Lan Li is free again, but even if he is alone, he can enjoy himself.

"Do you want to take a holiday for a while, or are you ready to shoot again?" On the other end of the phone was Andy, a long-distance call from across the ocean.

Lan Li put down the thick book in his hand, "I thought that the next step was the filming of'Rogue One.' Is the progress of script creation still not up to expectations?"

After finishing the filming of "Jurassic World", Lan Li will have one to two months to rest and adjust the time. According to the original plan, he will then be involved in the filming of "Star Wars Gaiden: Rogue One" at the end of October. The script reading started in early January, and the filming is scheduled to be officially launched in December.

But now, Andy's words revealed uncertainty, which made Lan Li notice the abnormality.

"...Yes, but there have been some twists and turns in the negotiation process." Andy also scratched his head. This is one of the drawbacks of large production: there are too many links that need to be coordinated and coordinated. A little bit of carelessness may lead to deviations. Simple Things get complicated.

Take "Rogue One" as an example. They now have six screenwriters, two are responsible for writing characters and two are responsible for writing stories. These four screenwriters work together; and two are responsible for writing lines. The three groups of six people need to coordinate with each other to trigger inspiration, but they are often prone to many differences.

More importantly, the script also needs to fit into the original story of "Star Wars", how to attract fans of the original series, how to create new fans, and how to keep the characters charming while continuing the possibility of expanding the universe in the future. Without losing the independence of this work, it's all technical work, it's definitely not that simple.

"Do you remember that in July, because of your joining, they originally set the protagonist to be a man, but later considered the market and the future. They hoped to set the protagonist to be a woman?" Andy reminded, not let Lan Li plays a supporting role, but the role of the male lead and the female lead is more important, with a slight emphasis on the female lead.

"Yes, I agree." Lan Li nodded naturally, "I don't mind cutting down on the scene, it's not a problem."

"I know." Andy recalled Lan Li's original response again:

Starting from "The Edge of Tomorrow", Lan Li has always been the absolute actor, and all the roles of "Gravity" and "Transcendence" are all pressed on Lan Li. This is a challenge, but it is also a burden. The filming work of "Luo Ji World" is relatively simple. He is very willing to shift the focus to other actors so that he can win more "space to think about the role and explore performance". These last words are the original words of Lan Li.

In this regard, Andy is also a little bit dumbfounded, but he also understands what Lan Li means-whether he is an absolute actor, or slightly weakens the scene, or is like "Pacific War" and "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" As part of all the actors, Lan Li is very happy to complete the work.

"The problem is, you are willing, but Katherine Kennedy is not necessarily willing." Andy gave a wry smile, "Your salary should account for 50% of the total expenditure of all the actors in the crew, or even more, but it can't Make the best use of it? She doesn't think so."

This made Lan Li couldn't help but laugh, "Then this is not my problem. They hope to create a diversified work, and even try to use women as the core protagonist to see if they have any in the'Star Wars' market. The position of the female audience, or whether to have the position of a heroine, pave the way for the future, this is their blueprint, I am very supportive; but they invited me to play and complete all the contracts, this is their own idea, I There is no opinion. As for how to coordinate between the two, this is not my problem."

Lan Li doesn't understand, and Andy doesn't understand either, because it involves the cooperation between Disney and Lucasfilm, and it also involves the distribution of power between Bob Iger and Catherine Kennedy. This is an internal secret, and outsiders have no way of knowing it.

"Rogue One" is an attempt by Disney and Lucasfilm. It is completely independent of the original "Star Wars" series. All characters are original and will not affect the fate of the characters in the series or change the series. The development of the main line is an attempt to further expand the series of blueprints.

Because of this, both Disney and Lucasfilm hope to make more attempts.

Bob Iger hopes to open up a grand blueprint for the "Gaiden series", and then once again establish a "Han-Solo" core hero, just like the Marvel universe, relying on the same universe timeline , But tells two completely different stories, instead of continuing to develop on the same timeline as in the original "Star Wars" series.

It was Bob Iger’s idea to invite Lan Li to play, but it wasn’t Catherine Kennedy’s.

Katherine Kennedy hopes to expand the audience base of the "Star Wars" series, just like Black Widow is to the "Avengers", she hopes to establish another female heroic image in this classic series, and is not satisfied with Lai A "love character" like Princess Ya or Queen Amidala will open up the female/market and explore more potential possibilities for the Star Wars series.

It is Katherine Kennedy's idea to determine the female role as the core, and Bob doesn't care at all.

Then, things developed to the current situation.

In fact, Disney is the most traditional and conservative company in the entire Hollywood. The classic family values ​​they maintain are an important representative of conservatism. Even in the distant future, they will still be like this. The most typical example is: Hollywood Six Major film companies use minority groups such as female directors, Asian directors, black directors, or **** directors to lead big projects. The least company is Disney—before 2017, this number was zero.

Bob didn’t have any interest in creating a super heroine, but Catherine had her own considerations—we can’t say persistence, because she also supported Bob’s family concept to a certain extent, and later became Bob’s. Best partner, but she still hopes to make some attempts.

"For your film ~www.novelhall.com~ this is part of the reason, and part of the reason is that they want to add diversified elements to the script, using black or Asian actors, adding female characters, etc. , Make full use of the original story background of'Star Wars' to keep up with the development of the times. This also means that they need to make adjustments to the characters, the direction of the story, the proportion of the characters, and so on."

Andy explained the second half of the reason, which made Lan Li suddenly realize, "Big company, big crew."

"It's... a big company, a big crew." Andy also sighed lightly, not to mention that it may take two to three months to modify the script. The time is not certain at all. Even if the modification is completed, it will still need high-level review afterwards—— If you are not satisfied, you have to revise the second draft and the third draft, which is even more troublesome.

"The latest news now is that the shooting time may be postponed to March or April next year. It is temporarily uncertain and must be decided according to the progress of the script." Andy gave the final conclusion.

Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth, "No surprise, this script has been tossed before and after... Uh, six months? I now finally know how troublesome the big production is. So, you called me specifically today and asked again. My intentions have been fulfilled, which means, now I have other job offers?"
