Chapter 558: Unreliable Mei Country
Liu Yan was very satisfied with the efficiency here, and nodded: "Thank you." ”
Subsequently, two police officers brought Powell out. Powell stayed here for two days, without his former vigor, with a full beard, unkempt hair, a decadent look, and a dull look.
"Mr. Powell, you can go. The sheriff told him that Powell was also a celebrity after all, and the sheriff was still very polite.
"I'm going to sue you, why did you arrest me, why!" Powell saw that Liu Yan was also here, and immediately shouted like crazy.
"Mr. Powell, this is a misunderstanding, we are only detaining and investigating you, everything is in accordance with legal procedures, I hope you can understand. The sheriff said calmly.
Powell was about to shout again, but Liu Yan persuaded him and said: "Don't be so excited, someone is accusing you of threatening me with a gun, so you must be detained, now the truth is revealed, you are free." ”
"You mean, you saved me, you helped me clarify?" Powell's chest kept rising and falling, and he finally calmed down.
"Yes, it was Mr. Liu Yan who helped us find out the truth, and you should thank him. The sheriff said with a smile.
Powell was a little embarrassed, standing there and not knowing what to say, Liu Yan walked up to him very generously, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "It's nothing, I didn't do this for you, but for myself, I won't let the mastermind behind it get away with it, and you don't have to thank me!"
Powell didn't speak, his mood was complicated, and after a minute, he finally said two words: "Thank you!"
The sheriff smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you can all leave, we still have a lot of things to do, so we won't leave you." ”
Liu Yan and Powell said goodbye to the sheriff and walked out of the police station together, and at the door, Powell asked, "Why are you helping me?"
"I said it all, I'm not helping you, I'm doing it for myself, so you don't have to thank me, I'm leaving!" Liu Yan turned around and was about to leave, but Powell stopped him.
"Can I treat you to dinner? or, um, play golf?" Powell was a little shy and sent a kind invitation to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan smiled: "I don't know how to play golf, so let's leave a phone call for each other and make an appointment for dinner." ”
Powell knew that Liu Yan was very busy, and it was obvious that Robertson and other Hollywood bigwigs attached great importance to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan had limited time to stay in Meiguo, so he would definitely find time to eat with him.
So he quickly took out his mobile phone and exchanged phone numbers with Liu Yan, and the two said goodbye and left.
Who knows, just when Liu Yan was about to take a taxi back to the hotel, he found that Thompson's extended Lincoln drove out of the garage and stopped at the door of the police station, and then Thompson swaggered out of the police station, got into the car directly, and the Lincoln drove away.
Liu Yan stood there in a daze, not coming back to his senses for a while, Thompson sent someone to threaten him with a gun, can't this crime still be sentenced? Why did no one come out like no one?
He wanted to rush into the police [Baidu] bureau to question the sheriff just now, but his feet didn't move an inch, Liu Yan understood that he couldn't move Thompson at all, and he was busy in vain.
When Liu Yan returned to the hotel with a gloomy expression, Mo Xiaolin asked worriedly, "What's the matter?"
"It's done, Powell is acquitted, Thompson is arrested......"
"Isn't that good, why are you so frustrated?" Mo Xiaolin made him a cup of coffee and handed it to him.
"When I walked out of the police station, I saw that Thompson was released again, it shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this......" Liu Yan muttered.
Mo Xiaolin then understood why Liu Yan had this expression, she sighed and comforted Liu Yan: "This is normal, Meiguo here seems to be fair and free, but in fact, it is also the world of the rich, like Thompson's crime, you can be released on bail by paying some money, what should you do, it's useless for you to do this." ”
Liu Yan was very disappointed, but this is not Huaxia, he is not familiar with the rules here, and Powell has also been released, Liu Yan can only give up, as long as Thompson does not provoke him in the future, he will forget about this matter for the time being.
In two days, Liu Yan and others are about to return to China, and Roberson has already booked a return ticket for them, and the script of the movie is basically completed, and the next step is to determine the actors of other roles.
Liu Yan has been determined, he is the male number one who fights iron, and the female number one will choose one of the female stars in Meiguo, which has not yet been determined.
Mo Xiaolin will play the role of the female number three in the movie, she performed very well in the last movie, which left a deep impression, and her spoken English gave her extra points, basically no need to strengthen her learning.
After breakfast, Liu Yan was about to discuss the role of the script with director Zhang Yimou, and Robertson came to the hotel to talk to Liu Yan alone.
Liu Yan put him on the sofa and asked, "Mr. Robertson, don't worry, I will do intensive oral training after I go back, and I promise you that I will definitely practice my speaking to a passing level before the official start." ”
Robertson smiled and nodded, "I didn't mean to talk to you about this. ”
"And who are you?"
"What do you think of the role of the second male lead, played by Powell?" Robertson finished speaking, looking at Liu Yan with an inquiring gaze.
Liu Yan was stunned, it stands to reason that Powell is a Meiguo actor, Robertson doesn't need to ask for his opinion, just settle it, and then notify him.
"Of course, Mr. Powell's action movies are still great. Liu Yan expressed his approval of Powell.
Robertson seemed a little surprised, he leaned back and said with a smile: "You have a good evaluation of Powell, I thought you would mind working with him, I have a bad heart." ”
Liu Yan understood Robertson's concerns, as a director, mediating the contradictions between actors and avoiding actors from tearing each other down is one of the important work contents, and all the cast and crew must work together to make a good movie.
However, the relationship between actors and actors, directors and actors is delicate, and they may have just met through this movie, and it is not known when the next collaboration will be, so it is difficult to establish a good relationship.
People with high emotional intelligence will be familiar with themselves, at least on the surface, and have fun with others, bringing harmony to the crew, but some actors are very individual and not good at dealing with people, once there is a conflict with other actors, it may break out, which will make the atmosphere of the crew bad and affect the filming progress of the film.
It was based on this concern that Robertson discussed with Liu Yan in advance, but Liu Yan's attitude was very clear, there was no contradiction between him and Powell, and the relationship was very good, which made Robertson's hanging heart relax.
"Mr. Powell and I did have a bit of a conflict at first, but then we got back together, and now we're good friends, you don't have to worry. ”
Robertson stood up with a smile, shook Liu Yan's hand, and said, "That's great, your trip to Meiguo was very successful, if I have any inadequate care, please take care of it." ”
"You're welcome, you took good care of me, thank you very much. ”
"It's just that you're polite, if you hadn't treated me for my illness, I'd still have a hard time walking!"
Indeed, since Liu Yan treated him, Robertson, who was originally faltering, is now walking like a fly, and he still insists on getting up early every day to run for half an hour, and his body is much stronger than before.
As the saying goes, people grow old before they grow old, that's the truth, Robertson is very grateful to Liu Yan, he is equivalent to getting a second life!
"In the past two days, you will take a rest and walk around the neighborhood, I will not bother, and I will personally take you to the airport the day after tomorrow. ”
After speaking, Roberson left Liu Yan's room and went to Hu Sanping's room, and they still had something to discuss.
Liu Yan closed the door and turned on the computer, he wanted to check the financial status of the domestic rejuvenation medicinal restaurant, which he must see every morning, and he couldn't move.
Su Yun is now the actual person in charge of the medicinal restaurant, her management is in place, and she is also very attentive, the performance of the medicinal restaurant has been growing steadily, and Liu Yan is also very relieved.
But today, Liu Yan saw that the profit of the head office in Dongxing County suddenly fell greatly, and he felt very strange.
Liu Yan was just about to call Su Yun to ask, but suddenly remembered that Huaxia and Meiguo had a time difference, it was Huaxia night, and when the medicinal restaurant was busy, he was not good at disturbing Su Yun at this time, so he could only wait for tomorrow daytime to ask.
Liu Yan just put down the phone, and suddenly another mobile phone rang, this is the Meiguo mobile phone that Roberson gave him, he hurriedly picked it up and looked, it turned out to be the gym owner Thompson called him.
What's the matter with this old fox? Liu Yan thought secretly and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Liu Yan, I heard that you are going back to China, can I make an appointment with you to meet?" His voice was still so enthusiastic, with a smile in every sentence, but those who are familiar with him know that this guy is a smiling tiger, and of course Liu Yan also understands his personality.
"Mr. Thompson doesn't have to be so polite, we don't have anything to talk about. Liu Yan replied coldly.
"Haha, are you disappointed in me, you think I should be at the police station, right?"
"I'm not interested in you, goodbye!" Liu Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait Mr. Liu, I have something important to discuss with you!" Thompson shouted anxiously.
"Speak quickly!"
"That's the case, I heard that your country just held a team competition with the Wa Kingdom, and your Huaxia won the victory, which caused a sensation, and I also found the relevant video, which is very exciting, so I want to arrange a team competition between Huaxia and Meiguo, what do you think?"
Thompson is worthy of being a shrewd businessman, he saw the business opportunities here, Liu Yan is not willing to fight in his gym, then he will simply arrange a match between countries, in this case, Liu Yan can't help but agree, because Thompson is equivalent to a war book and a challenge to Huaxia!
But Liu Yan was not fooled, what he cares about now is Huaxia's overall strength, although he defeated the Grim Reaper, but this is just a contest between individuals, Huaxia is still inferior in terms of overall strength, this takes time to develop, and now is not the time.
