"We tried to find a mutually beneficial communication plan......

Thomas gushed his thoughts, his eyes gradually brightened, the smile on the corner of his mouth still maintained its original arc, but the bright and cheerful mood bloomed unreservedly, this should be the brightest and most brilliant moment of his expression since we met today.

However, in the eyes of Lan Li, it was an arrogant dog/fart-

This is not a humanitarian relief plan of the United Nations, so how can it really be mutually beneficial? Not to mention Thomas Toole, even other film production companies, they cannot adjust and revise their own publicity plans "taking into account the interests of the actors"; instead, the actors stand on their own ground and fight for reason, and in this circle where interests are paramount, both sides must do their best to fight for their own rights and interests.

The so-called reciprocity is nothing more than Thomas's self-absorbed rhetoric, and that lofty posture is more and more unabashedly revealed.

Lan Li thinks Thomas is really a wonderful person. Perhaps it's because he has little contact with Wall Street people, and doesn't know much about the elite who "think they are the center of the universe" — the elites in the British financial district are more reserved, and Thomas reminds him of Leonardo DiCaprio's "The Wolf of Wall Street."

"Trust me, I'm serious!" Thomas's face was filled with a look of self-satisfaction, obviously he couldn't be more satisfied with the publicity plan they had conceived, and his eyes did indeed write the word "serious", "This plan can not only help the crew attract more attention, but also increase the highlights of the movie, in addition, it also has a positive effect on your popularity and discussion, which can make your image more approachable." You have to admit that there's always a distance between you and the masses at large, don't you?

At the time of the last sentence, Thomas tilted his head slightly - because of his height, he raised his head and looked sideways at Lan Li, and there was a hint of joking in his eyes, not a joke between friends, but a banter between his boss and his subordinates, thinking that this way could bring each other closer, but in fact it only created more embarrassing atmosphere.

Lan Li smiled, and the smile in his eyes was full of sincere lightness: so far, he has also met many superiors, some are general friends, some have strong friendships, and some are antagonistic and hateful, but I have to say that Thomas should be a "brand-new" character, just like the "little princess" in Disney's fairy tales.

"Oh?" Lan Li raised his final tone, with a hint of interest, but if he savored it, he could detect the mockery and banter in his words, "Then we must praise the publicity team of Universal Pictures for being able to come up with such a comprehensive and perfect publicity plan." "The "perfect" scheme that almost impossible to exist in real life.

Thomas could detect Lan Li's "attack malice", because Lan Li's expression always remained smiling, and he couldn't directly pull down his face to start questioning, but the corners of his mouth were obviously drooping, and he didn't have the pride and excitement just now, but returned to a serious mode to express his dissatisfaction in this way.

"Of course, the solutions are all thought up by people, and if it is impossible to accomplish things in advance, then you can't join our crew, right?" Thomas fought back without being soft or hard, and then glanced at Lan Li lightly, expressing his condemnation and complaining with his eyes, as if to say: Do you have anything else to refute?

Lan Li smiled dumbly, he didn't think it was necessary to continue arguing, so he lowered his eyes to show back down and motioned for Thomas to continue.

Thomas raised his chin in satisfaction, and continued, "Anyway, after discussion, we think that there are some scandals within the crew, which will be very interesting. ”

Gossip?

What the?

That's the perfect solution?

Could it be any more stupid?

Thomas didn't seem to notice Lan Li's eyes, and then explained in detail, "First of all, if there is news within the crew that you and Bryce have sparked, it will undoubtedly be a very, very sensational thing, just look at Rooney Mara's acceptance speech at the Oscars not long ago, which will easily attract everyone's attention." ”

So...... Is the source of this incident Rooney?

The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, and he felt that he should call Rooney later, "Annunciation".

Thomas noticed the relaxation of the corners of Lan Li's mouth, which was a positive signal, and his tone became brisk, "Secondly, for our crew, in addition to dinosaurs, the human characters played by you and Bryce will be the core of the focus, we need to extend more attention beyond the dinosaurs, and the spark of scandal between you can make the audience look forward to it in advance: this time, humans will also occupy an important proportion, attracting more people to the cinema." ”

However, isn't it for the sake of dinosaurs that the audience walks into the cinema to watch "Jurassic World"?

"We are all looking forward to attracting more audiences to the cinema with your appeal, which is the most important reason why we invited you to star. Thomas then went on to say - well, the selling point of "Jurassic World" has evolved from dinosaurs to Lan Li, and I am not sure whether Lan Li's understanding of the movie has been skewed, or Thomas's interpretation of the intent of the script has been skewed.

"Finally, and most importantly, you, all this propaganda is for you!" Thomas said proudly, as if waiting for Lan Li's "thanks".

"As an actor, there is really too little news about your private life, the audience has no sense of intimacy with you, and now is not the time for the mystique of the fifties and sixties, you should look at Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, how wonderful the interaction on social networks is! ”

Obviously, Thomas did his homework, and he explained it in an authentic way, and even had some bitter taste in it, completely looking like "I'm actually all for your good".

Thomas is now fully in the state, he didn't ask Lan Li's opinion and attitude, and jumped straight into the elaboration of the execution stage, "We need a complete timeline, first release some rumors within the crew, you and Bryce need to publicly deny it, and then as the filming progresses, let the paparazzi take some inaccurate photos to further confirm the rumors, but we need to prepare a plan in advance, there may be other colleagues present, there may be other friends present, deny these rumors." ”

"Then it's about using social networks to create rumors with some trumpets to complete the momentum, and finally, before the movie is about to premiere, let the paparazzi shoot really useful evidence, and you don't need to admit or deny it, just pretend to acquiesce to the facts. Rest assured, it won't end here, and after the movie is released, we'll have another timeline where you'll be able to 'officially' break up in about six months, so that the public won't know the truth and won't condemn you. Everything was perfect!"

Thomas's whole expression brightened, and although there was no superfluous movement, the excitement and anticipation of the eagerness could not be concealed at all, and it could be seen that he sincerely believed that this was a perfect proposal.

From an onlooker's point of view, this does not seem to be controversial -

Although many crews use scandals to hype up the news, but Lan Li is a special case, in the past few years, there have been too few gossip news around Lan Li, and occasionally there are some scandals, but they are fleeting, and they soon disappeared in the sea of information, many scandals have not been confirmed, until now, people are still ridiculing Lan Li and Ryan Gosling's "base/love".

If Lan Li really broke out of the scandal, and it was like a serial, it lasted for nearly a year, showing all the ins and outs, which is definitely a very exciting after-dinner conversation for the public.

This plan fully takes into account the current situation of the Blue Rite, and in the simplest and most vulgar way, it can bring the fame, popularity and mystery of the Blue Rite to the extreme.

It's not the perfect solution, but it's the one that maximizes the benefits of simplicity and crudeness.

For others, Vanity Fair is like this, even top names like Tom Cruise do not hesitate to expose their personal lives to the news media -

In 2005, Tom, who was at a low point in his career, jumped directly on the sofa on a talk show in order to promote the "World War", and announced his love affair with Katie Holmes with great excitement;

Even Tom is no exception, let alone Lan Li?

But the "others" and Thomas have overlooked the fact that Lan Li is not Tom, more precisely, Lan Li is not any "other people", everyone else is like this, it does not mean that Lan Li needs to be like this.

"I refuse. Lan Li said crisply.

Thomas was a little stunned - this was not like Lan Li, there was no gentlemanly detour, no tactful evasion, but bluntly cut off all possibilities, but Thomas didn't think much about it, and the first reaction in his mind was, "...... Are you because of Bryce's husband?"

It turned out that Thomas knew about it.

"You don't have to worry, if Bryce divorces you — at least suspected — it's even more explosive, isn't it? Thomas said nonchalantly, "I'm sure they'll all cooperate, and if necessary, Bryce and Seth can even separate to further add credibility......"

"I don't care if they cooperate, and I know for sure that I won't. Lan Li interrupted Thomas, and again, rudely.
