1659 Unrepentant
At this moment, standing in the ward are the crew members of "Fast and Exciting / Emotional 7".
Director James Wing was also present in the room, in addition to Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson, Luda Criss, Nathalie Emmanuel, Gal Gadot and others all appeared, including producer Neil H. Moretz.
Naturally, Vin Diesel is on the list.
But it's interesting to note that Dwayne Johnson didn't show up.
"Phew, I'm almost starting to get jealous. "Michelle is a fast-talking, straightforward person who says almost anything that comes to mind.
On such an occasion, Lan Li naturally did not go toe-to-toe with Diesel, his gaze only swept over Diesel slightly, and then he looked at Paul again, "Congratulations, you have added another member to your list of admirers." In response to Michelle's ridicule in such a way, everyone in the ward burst into laughter.
Michelle was not embarrassed, laughed along happily, and deliberately threw a wink at Paul, "Hey, that handsome guy, how is it, do you have time to ask me for a cigarette?"
Paul almost choked on his own saliva, and said "cough cough" twice, then he waved his hand again and again, shook his head in denial, "Sorry, sorry, I don't smoke." "Paul is still the same honest Paul, even when joking.
Michelle exaggerated a look of disappointment, "Oh, that's a shame, I still like men who smoke." It seems that we are still not a good fit. Then he turned his head to look at Jason Statham, and before Michelle could speak, Jason raised his hands to show his innocence, "I don't smoke either." ”
This rush to answer suddenly made the atmosphere in the entire ward reach a high/tide.
Michelle spread her hands innocently and rolled her eyes widely, expressing her helplessness.
In the midst of laughter, the ward seemed to be harmonious, as if everyone didn't know about the physical conflict between Lan Li and Diesel, and it seemed that the previous conflicts between Diesel and Paul and Jason had all disappeared, and everyone was bustling around Paul, celebrating Paul's new life.
Because he still had work today, Lan Li didn't plan to stay in the ward for too long, but just came to visit Paul, and then asked about the situation, and then prepared to go to Burbank;
"Lan Li, yes, yes!" Paul had already said goodbye to Lan Li, and then saw Michelle's gaze reminder, only then did he recall it, and called out repeatedly, "I completely forgot, sorry, I now strongly suspect that my brain memory has begun to deteriorate after resting on the hospital bed for too long." Paul also made a rare joke to himself, it seems that he was left alone in the hospital room, and there was too much time for boredom, and Paul was indeed starting to think differently.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that Paul's attention was gone away again, Lan Li had to be reminded.
Paul chuckled, "I was just chatting with Michelle when I stumbled upon the inspiration, how do you think the song 'See-You-Again' you wrote last time in the hospital room could be used as the theme song for 'Fast & Thrill 7'?"
"Theme song?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone was not shocked, he just raised doubts, but there was a faint glow in the depths of his eyes.
At that time, Paul was still in a coma when Lan Li composed "On the occasion of reunion", he could capture some fragmented language and melodic fragments, but he could not fully connect all the ins and outs, and more still felt a state and emotion.
So, Lan Li wrote the full version of the melody and lyrics on the spot, and presented it to Paul as a gift - this was originally a gift that belonged to Paul.
After listening to Lan Li's cappella, Mei Duo was so moved that she couldn't cry, and threw herself into Paul's arms, finally understanding the importance and preciousness of her father to herself, and finally saying the deep sentence "I love you", even Paul was teary-eyed, and he was so helpless that he didn't know what to say.
Later, Meadow rolled up her sleeves with great interest and wanted to learn to play the song, hoping to perform it as a small gift when Paul was officially discharged from the hospital.
The song "On the occasion of reunion" belongs to Paul, and if Paul wants to be the theme song of the movie, Lan Li is absolutely welcome and has no objections, and if Paul wants to keep it as a private collection, Lan Li has no problem. The creative rights belong to Lan Li, but the right to use them belongs to Paul.
Only, here's a small question: How did Michelle learn about the song "On the occasion of reunion"?
So far, only Paul and Meadow have known, not even Caleb and Cody, and the others have no way of knowing. So, if Michelle didn't know about it, how did she get into the conversation with Paul? Did Paul bring it up on his own initiative, or did it ...... Are there any other reasons?
With Lan Li's understanding of Paul, Paul is not a personality who likes to make a big splash, and he didn't even show off the song "On the occasion of reunion" to Caleb and Cody and others, and this action can be seen in a lot ......of things; Just assume that if Meadow was overheard by Michelle or someone else while practicing "On the occasion of reunion" in the hospital, and even knew about the lyrics and the score and the story behind the song, then the current situation is intriguing.
First of all, Lan Li must admit that he has no evidence and everything is just his own assumption. He will not deny that he has always had a skeptical attitude towards the "Fast and Exciting/Emotional" crew, so he can't help but think in a negative direction when he conceives, but this is the case, and his guess is also a possibility, a disgusting possibility-
What if someone tries to use Paul, on the occasion of reunion, on the Blue Rite, to build momentum for the Fast & Furious 7 campaign? What if it's Ron Mayer or Thomas Toole behind it?
Now Lan Li can't figure out the situation, and guessing can only stay at the guessing stage, and then when he has time, he will have a good conversation with Paul and Meadow to piece together the ins and outs of the matter. Lan Li sincerely hoped that all the above speculations were conspiracy theories made up by his own whims, and the actual situation was not so complicated at all, he hoped that he was wrong, and he was happy to be a real villain.
"Theme song?" Lan Li raised the end note, putting on an excited look, and then his eyes were projected towards Michelle.
Today, Michelle is particularly active - Paul is recuperating, and without the suppression of Diesel and Dawn, Michelle has become the face of the entire crew, and even the director James always keeps smiling and just standing aside.
Sensing Lan Li's inquiring gaze, Michelle chuckled heartily, "Ha, yes, yes, Paul and I inadvertently mentioned this, don't you think it's a very good idea? Not just you, not just us, all the people who support Paul can find strength in this melody." ”
Lan Li didn't speak.
Lan Li looked at Michelle quietly like this, but her calm eyes seemed to be able to see through Michelle's mask and spy on the truth behind it, which made Michelle a little anxious and embarrassed.
The atmosphere in the entire ward froze for a moment, Gal Gadot, Jordana Brewster and others could sense the abnormality of things, and the lingering heaviness fell on the surface of everyone's skin, and they could really feel a chill creeping through, but they didn't understand why-
What's going on? Wasn't it okay a second ago? Why did the atmosphere cool down all of a sudden? Did something happen in the middle of it that they didn't understand?
The confused eyes were exchanging glances, but no one could know the answer, and in the end, all eyes fell on Michelle and Lan Li.
Interestingly, no one broke the silence, no one relieved Michelle, and no one asked Lan Li, and things were stuck in a position where everyone seemed to be exploring and waiting.
But...... Whether it was because he was too afraid of Lan Li to speak, or whether he chose to keep his mouth shut because he refused to defend Michelle, it is unknown. It's worth savoring.
In an awkward and stiff silent atmosphere, Michelle was not puzzled and confused, and seemed to understand the meaning of Lan Li's eyes at once, and her straightforward and neat demeanor slowly became stiff and embarrassed, and her eyes involuntarily began to dodge, lest her panic reveal the secret of her heart.
Does this mean...... Is Lan Li's guess true, or is it Lan Li's misjudgment after being suspicious?
But Lan Li was not aggressive, nor did he relax and slack, his quiet gaze hid a burning and sharp, and he stared at Michelle calmly, but Michelle was uncomfortable, and his back seemed to be able to feel that the ants were slowly climbing up the spine, and a chill spread like this, quietly ...... In this way, he quietly glanced at Diesel not far away.
Diesel has been trying to wipe out his presence since Lan Li entered the hospital room, and he doesn't want to create conflict, not because he's scared, but because his agent, Fisher Morgan, has stressed that now isn't the best time to fight back — at least that's how he convinced himself.
Even though there was a brief silence and embarrassment in the entire room, Diesel still did not speak.
Now, Diesel suddenly noticed Michelle's eyes, but that fluttering gaze immediately made Diesel scramble, anxious and nervous, but he didn't dare to act rashly, lest his every move might reveal more information, so he could only keep using his eyes to make Michelle divert his attention.
Suddenly, Diesel felt that his pants pockets were starting to get hot, and the sheet music and lyrics inside seemed to be a hot potato.
