The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 64 Wonderful trajectory

The interview was over, Roy didn’t stay too much, and immediately left after packing up.

Looking at the “Thor” script in his hand, Lan Li couldn’t help but smile. He could feel Roy’s kindness. For a newcomer who has no agent to take care of, Roy just gave him a lot of guidance, which is very Valuable information.

In fact, leaving aside the shackles of Marvel and the choice of commercial films, in fact, among the many series of Marvel’s comic heroes, “Thor” is the series with the worst box office performance and word-of-mouth feedback. Don’t say “Iron Man”, “Captain America” ​​and other signs, even the later “Ant-Man” has achieved a full surpass in terms of word of mouth, box office, and rate of return.

“Thor” released in 2011, with an investment of 150 million yuan, only earned 449 million yuan in box office worldwide. Not only did it make no money, it even made Paramount a small loss of nearly two thousand. Ten thousand; later in 2013, “Thor 2”, thanks to the rise of Marvel, the box office has improved, the cost of 170 million in exchange for the global box office of 640 million, but because of the high publicity costs , Paramount made only 30 million.

It can be said that the return rate of the “Thor” series has been unsatisfactory, and the global appeal is also very limited. If it were not for the entire Marvel universe of “Avengers”, Paramount would almost give up.

From this perspective, the attractiveness of “Thor” is not as great as Roy said.

However, as a newcomer, being so picky is not a good thing. They missed the opportunity of “Thor” and never know when the next opportunity will come. They should do their best to seize every opportunity they get. Hollywood is not the only one. Enthusiastic about being a charity circle.

Therefore, Lan Li still read the “Thor” script seriously. The script and the completion of a movie are two completely different things. The director’s task is to evolve the script into a picture, while the actor’s task is to derive the meaning of the role from the text of the script. In the previous life, Lan Li had seen enough movies. , But the contact with the script is very limited.

In the next few hours, Lan Li hid in the backstage of the Pioneer Village and silently flipped through the script.

As in memory, the script of “Thor” is really lackluster, especially the characterization of Thor, which lacks the distinctive features of “Iron Man” and “Captain America”. However, Loki is indeed an interesting character, the previous “Thor” series still did not give Loki enough room to play, otherwise he has the potential to become the ultimate villain of the Marvel series.

But, this is not something that Lan Li can decide, can it?

Returning to the residence, turning on the lights in the lobby, and looking around, Chris Hemsworth still did not come back, his eyes fell on the “Thor” script in his hand again, and Lan Li suddenly felt that the fate was really wonderful. In the first life, Chris was an instant hit with the role of “Thor” Risol, and started the peak of his actor career. If there is no Blue Li spoiler, the development curve of this life should not have changed too much. .

So now, has Chris also received an audition invitation from Thor? Or is it that Chris has completed his audition and is waiting for the next round of notifications? If Renly decides to participate in Sol’s competition, what will happen to things? He and Chris become competitors?

This is the first time that Lan Li is standing at the present time node, examining the future direction of the previous life so clearly and concretely, he is no longer a bystander, but a participant, a real participant. So, how much will the historical development trajectory change? How many hurricanes can this little butterfly from the ancient Asian country of China cause? This is really something to look forward to.

Thinking of this, Lan Li laughed blankly, returned to his room, put the backpack on the desk casually, tucked the script in his hand on the bookshelf next to him, and went into the bathroom to wash away the dust of the day, although he was used to the early morning. I got off work at time, but for Lan Li, sleeping is a very happy thing. It is good to be able to stay in the bed for a longer time-even if it is only ten minutes.

Chris Hemsworth opened the door, and the lights in the living room showed that there was someone in the house. He raised his voice and called out, “Ren Li? Lan Li?” This is New York. Although it is Manhattan, the public order in the downtown area remains the same. It’s hard to say peace, the thieves who broke into the door can meet some of them in short intervals.

“I’m in the bathroom.” Lan Li yelled and replied, passing through the thin wall.

Chris relaxed now, leaning against the door, and began to flip through the letters in his hand-Lan Li was a person who didn’t care. Every time the mailbox at home was jammed, Lan Li still didn’t remember to pick up the letters. Can wait for Chris to deal with it.

picked out public letters such as water, electricity and coal, and put them next to the TV cabinet; then he picked out his own letters and letters from Lan Li, and threw away all the remaining junk advertising letters.

“When did you come back? The bedroom was still empty last night.” Lan Li walked out of the bathroom, wiping her hair while leaning against the bedroom door, chatting and asking.

Chris raised his head and glanced, but the action of selecting letters in his hand did not stop. “This afternoon, I just came back from Los Angeles.” After the “cash” that worked with Sean Bing was finished, he stayed in Los Angeles. My next work is running around, but unfortunately it has been very little. “How are you doing? Is everything going well at work?”

Lan Li shrugged, “Nothing has changed. I participated in two auditions and none of them.” There is nothing to hide, tell the truth.

Chris laughed, “That’s why I refused to shoot a TV series.” He pointed to Lan Li with the letter in his hand, and said confidently, “Even if the TV series is successful, it still can’t attract the film company. Note that once you are stereotyped as a TV actor, it will be difficult if you want to turn over later.”

“I remember that you were also in a TV series.” The smile on Lan Li’s mouth rose slightly.

“Facts.” Chris nodded, “Facts!” After repeating it twice, “but those are all about Australia. After coming to the United States, I received many TV shows, but I refused. Because of me. Know this clearly.” In fact, these were all told by the agent, but for Ren Li, who did not have an agent, it was his turn to teach the experience, “Listen to me, even if there is no audition invitation, please do. Don’t compromise, unless you have already planned to stabilize in the TV drama industry, you are only twenty years old and you have countless choices.”

Chris’s rare occasion is solemn, and his thoughtful words seem full of weight, “Take the’Pacific War’ as an example. I was in Los Angeles recently and I heard a lot of news. This is indeed a focus work, but all The eyes are focused on Hanks and Spielberg, no one will notice the actors. This is the dilemma of TV shows.”

Lan Li smiled, did not refute, but did not respond, he was even more curious about another detail, “You also heard the news of the’Pacific War’ in Los Angeles? How?”

“It’s mainly positive. I think Hanks and Spielberg have completed the task brilliantly again.” Chris is very willing to share the inside information, because it is beyond the reach of Lan Li, the corner of his mouth. He couldn’t help but raised his smile. “I recently heard that HBO is launching a publicity, hoping that the’Pacific War’ can impact the Emmy Awards, but the voice is not loud.”

“Technology awards should still be okay.” Lan Li expressed his opinion. After all, the investment of 223 million yuan is there, and the hard power is worthy of recognition.

“Who knows.” Chris said mysteriously, paused for a moment, trying to see the curiosity in Lan Li’s eyes, but failed. This made Chris spread his hands speechlessly and shook depressedly. Shaking his head, “You don’t cooperate at all, how can this magic continue?”

Lan Li laughed blankly, then gathered up his smile and asked with a serious face, “So what are the rumors in Hollywood?” It looked like he was coaxing a child.

Chris lifted his chin slightly and showed a satisfied smile. “It is said that HBO is not optimistic about the prospects of the’Pacific War’ this year. Although they have to promote Spielberg because of his face, it is not estimated. It’s going to be too focused. So, the prospects for the Emmys are bleak.”

Lan Li gently closed his jaw, expressing understanding, but the voice changed Chris, why do I think you are gloating? ”

Hearing these words, Chris almost choked with saliva and coughed violently. Lan Li couldn’t help laughing. Then Chris understood that Lan Li was joking. He could not help but clenched his fists. “Lan Li, it’s not funny! I’m just caring about you!” When he was anxious, his Australian accent became vague and he could hardly hear him clearly, “Like I just said, you shouldn’t choose TV shows.”

Lan Li just smiled and didn’t respond. He turned around and returned to the room, “I’m going to do the laundry now. Do you need to wash it?” Then Lan Li paused and turned around and said, “I mean coats and the like. , Don’t throw me socks and panties.”

Chris raised his hand and smashed an envelope over to express his response, causing Lan Li to laugh again.

Here, there is no washing machine in their apartment. Each floor is equipped with a washing machine and dryer. However, people who usually use it have to line up, so it is more convenient to go to a special laundromat. Only then did Lan Li form the habit of washing clothes in the wee hours of the morning.

Lan Li picked up the dirty clothes from the past few days, picked up the laundry basket, walked to the door, kicked Chris in the calf, “Jean, Hulk.”

Chris rolled his eyes, trying to refute but couldn’t find a suitable vocabulary. He could only get away depressed, waved his fist and watched Lan Li go out, and then closed the door fiercely to vent his anger.

After turning around and continuing to separate all the letters, Chris walked all the way to Lan Li’s room and put the personal letters belonging to Lan Li on the table. When he was about to leave, he saw the script on the bookshelf.

The cover of 　　 is navy blue, with only one word, “Thunder God”, which is concise and clear.
