"It is indeed a bit early to talk about managers now." Andy said with a smile, "After all, your career has just started, and there are not so many things to deal with. But I can't be by your side all the time, you need a The manager is on the side, pay attention to your work changes anytime and anywhere, and then contact me."
"I thought Nathan was such a character." Lan Li joked.
Andy laughed softly, "Nathan can help you deal with all the chores around you, including arranging your daily life, etc.; but in terms of work, he can provide very limited help. For example, this time Sheng Dan The actor will personally come forward for the negotiation of Sri Lanka, which is not the best choice."
Talking about pay, discussing dividends, and arguing about rights, these things are not only trivial, but also deceitful, and they will tear their skins if they are not careful.
In the process of negotiation, there is almost no image to speak of; more importantly, once the other party is offended, the other party needs to find an object to vent their anger. This is also the reason that agents or managers must come forward, and they are responsible for the culprit, in order to maintain a good image of the actors.
It’s like a football league. After a loss, fans always look for someone to vent their anger, so the head coach is often a scapegoat, rather than the top management of the team or the players playing on the field. .
Agents, managers, publicists, assistants, etc. around the actors are all such roles, and this is part of their job.
If necessary, the actor can dismiss the staff around him to quell the dispute; otherwise, the producer will directly vent his anger on the actor, which will completely destroy the actor’s contacts in the circle and his value. It was cut off by the waist, this is the most deadly. The most typical case is Mel Gibson.
This is also one of the reasons why the career development of independent actors is struggling.
Most of them do not have agents, let alone assistants and managers. They can only fight for their own interests and speak for themselves; only when they are absolutely necessary, the actors' union can become their backbone. Therefore, if they are not careful, they may offend people, either the audition director, the producer, or the dramatist. There are almost landmines everywhere.
This time in Sundance, the head-to-head confrontation between Renly and the Weinstein brothers, although it was not too ugly, but in fact, Andy had vaguely heard the rumors. The Weinstein brothers were really in a bad mood about the missing "love madness".
Everyone knows that this is normal competition. We can’t blame Lan Li, we can only blame Harvey for underestimating the courage of Focus Films-before "Crazy Love" has won the Sundance Jury Award, he killed it. Lu Guo resolutely completed the transaction. However, if Harvey wants to provoke Lan Li, that is beyond the control of others.
What's more, Andy knew that Lanly had no interest in these delicate and subtle trivial matters.
If it weren't really too busy, Andy would never let Lan Li come forward to negotiate. Now that it's done, Andy still blames himself.
"I can't refute it." Lan Li gently closed his jaw, and bluntly agreed.
Such a straightforward response caused Andy to pause slightly, and then his smile fell on the bottom of his eyes. The conversation with Lan Li was always so easy and simple, which laid a solid foundation for the cooperation between the two people. This is a good thing.
"Not only that, I'm currently selecting your next work." Andy continued, "I will conduct the first round of project review first, but before the script or project is in your hands, if there is a manager People can learn more about the background situation, and even read the script completely, and then explain to you, which can share a lot of your work."
Reading the script is not a simple task. A script has at least 90 pages, but now it is generally around 120 pages, which is almost equivalent to a master's thesis. Read through the entire script carefully, and then understand the role situation, and even understand the preparations of the project. This can't be completed without three or five days.
This is just the first rough reading.
For a top actor like Tom Hanks, he may have fifteen projects in operation at the same time, and the work arrangement has continued for the next five years. He does not have time to read every potential cooperation project one by one, and must deal with managers.
Of course, Lan Li is still in the category of newcomers, and there are not so many scripts that come to the door. Even if there is no manager, he will not be in a hurry.
But Lanli’s situation is special. Andy has to browse a large number of projects in preparation, as well as a large number of independent projects that have not been excavated yet, and is committed to finding a suitable project for Lanli. If every project has to be reviewed, the work efficiency will be too low. This is why Andy thought of managers.
Lan Li nodded with a smile, but did not comment too much on this point.
As a rebirth, there is no need to read every script in detail. This is his greatest advantage. On the contrary, if the manager filters first, he may also ignore the niche scripts that are worthy of attention.
"It's too early to talk about this. My rent for next month has not been settled yet." Lan Li's ridicule made Andy couldn't help but smile. He responded, "Don't worry, I can give you a loan. I won't let you. Living on the street."
Since "Fast and Furious 5" has not yet been released, Lan Li is still on his laurels, but the problem is that the pay for his previous three works is really too low. Hiring brokers and assistants is already the limit of Lan Li, and the rest of the compensation must be personally invested to lay a solid foundation for the future.
"I just want to remind you that if you have a suitable person by your side, you can tell me directly; if not, I will pay attention to it for you." Andy briefly summarized.
Due to the particularity of managers, many artists’ managers are their own immediate family members, siblings or biological parents, or even close friends, which are ideal choices.
However, although these close people are worthy of trust, their professionalism is open to question. Therefore, there are still many artists who are willing to hire professional managers to take care of their careers.
Lan Li just shrugged and did not express too much opinion.
When he chose Andy as his agent, he didn't worry at all; now he chooses a manager, he is still the same.
Andy did not continue to entangle this topic. "How are you doing?" After speaking, he realized that his expression was too broad, so he added, "I mean, it's already two years since the completion of Fast and Furious 5. It's been over a month, do you plan to take a break for a while, or are you eager to get into a new job?"
In the past six months, Lan Li has filmed three works, "Buried Alive", "Crazy Love", and "Fast and Passion 5". It can be said that there is almost no breathing room to revolve. The performance state has reached the peak, even the fighting scenes of commercial movies, it really made him live a good drama addiction.
He originally thought that he would feel tired, standing in front of the camera, on the stage for the first time, and being recognized for the first time. After these new feelings passed, his performance desire was met to a certain extent, and he would gradually calm down; He will feel exhausted, and when his mental state is strained to the extreme, he suddenly relaxes and then tightens again. The energy and physical strength consumed is unimaginable.
But, he didn't.
After a brief glimpse of the heaviness and cumbersomeness of college public relations, he realized that he still loves acting after all. Compared with those public relations activities that are intertwined, false and intriguing, and intrigue, what really keeps him dreaming is still the moment of performance on the stage.
Not only is there no burnout, not only is there no fatigue, but he is more eager than ever to re-enter the role and concentrate on performing.
He knows that if he is "buried alive" or "love is crazy" and re-interprets it now, his touch and understanding will be different again. This is the charm of performance-every bit of life will become a part of the performance. It's as if every moment of life experience will become a part of the soul.
However, Lan Li is not a rookie anymore. It takes a bit of luck to encounter a suitable, correct, and excellent work, just like finding a "buried alive" in the Actors Guild. Anxious to eat hot tofu~www.novelhall.com~ He needs more patience.
Especially now is the busiest time of the awards season, more than half of the film industry practitioners are gathered in Los Angeles, fighting for the statuette. During this time, it is even more difficult to find new performance opportunities.
"I'm waiting." Lan Li showed a shallow smile, not rushing, not rushing, not rushing, "Waiting for a brand new project that can wake up my impulse to perform. I'm ready to go back to work. I’m prepared for it, but before encountering inspiration, I’ll enjoy my vacation. To be honest, I’m seriously considering whether to go skiing in Canada."
Andy laughed blankly, "As long as you can come back before the Oscars." This is considered a nod in agreement. At the critical moment of the awards season, the two are discussing a ski vacation, which is really dumbfounding. "As for new movie projects, I'm always looking for it. I will tell Nathan if there is a suitable opportunity."
Lan Li stood up, walked to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and asked casually, "Need something to drink?"
"I've fallen by myself." Andy pointed to the Coke in front of him, feeling helpless about the length of Lanly's reflection arc.
"Is there a Coke at home?" Lan Li said in surprise, which made Andy smile silently, "You made a special trip today, not just to talk about a manager, right?"
The manager is not in a hurry at all. Even if Andy intends to remind Lan Li, a phone call will do it.
So dull in some ways, so keen in some ways. Andy took a sip of Coke, then watched Lan Li walk over with a glass of tap water, "I want to discuss the next film selection plan with you."
This is the point. ()
