662 Eerie Calm

It was originally just a normal piece of news, but because of the noise of "speed and excitement/emotion", and because of Vin Diesel's words, things suddenly became interesting. Like hyenas, the reporters smelled something unusual in the air, and then they spread their fangs and swarmed up, never giving up until they tore off a piece of flesh.

As soon as possible, reporters surrounded Lan Li, who had just landed, at LaGuardia Airport in New York. They did not rush to mention Fan's speech, but directly asked about the specific situation of the "killing reincarnation".

Lan Li told the truth, first confirmed Warner Bros.'s announcement that he was about to star in the work "Killing Reincarnation", and then briefly talked about the story and script, and generously expressed his expectations.

If Jeff had been there, he would have laughed out loud, because Lan Li's answer was the "press conference version" of the original audition - talking eloquently, but without substance.

Then the reporter couldn't wait to ask, "You decided to star in 'Killing Reincarnation', what about 'Speed and Excitement'? What about the next schedule? Do you have any ideas?" There weren't too many guiding questions, it seemed like it was just a normal question, but all the reporters on the scene held their breath, no matter what Lan Li's answer was, they were all ready-

Question about the renewal of "Speed and Excitement", question the implicit content of Fan's previous words, and question the news content of the recent period.

"For me, the most important job right now is 'Killing Reincarnation'. Lan Li's answer was crisp and neat, without any hesitation, and the firmness and decisiveness between the words made the reporters impatient, and the abnormal aura became more and more obvious, but they didn't have time to ask questions at all, and they didn't need to ask questions, and Lan Li's words behind made everyone stunned.

"As for 'Fast & Thrill', unfortunately I couldn't be involved in the production and performance. I've always looked forward to being a part of the sequel, but that's what life is all about, goodbye will come sooner or later, only this time it will come sooner. Here, I wish my fellows all the best. ”

There was silence, and everyone was stunned. Objectively speaking, this is one of their guesses, or rather, this is one of the flashpoints they are looking forward to, but at this moment, Lan Li admitted the truth so lightly, as if this was just a normal thing, without warning, absolutely without warning, they received a 100,000-point critical attack, their brains crashed directly, and there was no room for buffering, and they were collectively stunned in place.

Such a scene is really very joyful, about 50 reporters, there is no sound at all, the eyes are dull and dazed, like an absurd mime in a silent movie. A thick black humor came to the face.

A shallow smile appeared from the depths of his eyes, and Lan Li deeply believed that teasing reporters was a kind of entertainment worth advocating, much more interesting than the cheers of movie fans. "Then ......" Lan Li's eyes glanced around, waited for a while, and after making sure that there were no questions, he pointed straight ahead, signaling that he was ready to leave.

"What happened to the crew?" someone in the crowd finally came to his senses and shouted loudly, his voice trembling slightly, but he couldn't tell whether it was because of excitement or panic.

"Nothing happened, everything was fine with the crew. After Lan Li spoke, there was inevitably a hint of lightness in his voice, and he couldn't help laughing. In such a state, in the eyes of reporters, they became more and more flustered - what is the situation?

"But why don't you continue to act?" the reporters naturally didn't want to be fooled like this, and asked.

Lan Li didn't panic either, and shrugged his shoulders, "In the previous five works, some actors were absent in each of them, this is the same reason, there is no special reason, it's just that things have developed like this." "In the Fast & Thrill series, no one is indispensable unless he's one of the producers.

"Isn't it related to Vin Diesel?" Lan Li's straightforwardness disrupted the reporters' overall plan, and some people directly threw out the drama meat regardless of it, "Yesterday Fan hinted in an interview that you chose this ...... Uh, the work, gave up 'speed and excitement', is that the case? What is the relationship between you and Fan? Is there a problem between you?"

Aggressive, question after question, trying to force Lan Li into a corner.

It's a pity that Lan Li not only didn't panic, but couldn't help but say, "Yes, there is indeed a problem between us. This answer made the reporters excitedly raise the recording machine in their hands, "Fan doesn't like surfing, and he is not a sea type person, which makes us lack a common topic, and he is really a difficult person to talk to." ”

This is not the first time that Lan Li has said this, the media has asked about the relationship between Lan Li and Paul, and Fan has not been involved. Lan Li used this method to answer. Today, on such an occasion, it adds some thought-provoking meaning. Especially compared with yesterday's Fan and today's Lan Li, there is a huge difference in the attitude, tone and expression of the two people, which is really intriguing.

"But before in Toronto, you and Paul said that you were looking forward to the sequel. There are also reporters who are still immersed in their own thoughts, strongly denying reality, and unwilling to believe that Lan Li has completely lost the sequel to "Fast and Passionate". Or, to be more accurate, unwilling to believe that your judgment was wrong.

"All I can say is that it's a good wish. Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and said with a chuckle, "Actually, I mentioned to Paul the other day about missing the sequel. We are all very sorry. I'm looking forward to racing in the sequel, and Paul is looking forward to playing against me. Now it seems that such an idea can only be saved for later implementation. ”

Lan Li added calmly, "It's a pity that Fan doesn't surf, otherwise we can discuss and discuss together on the beach, or just chat a few words while waiting for the waves." ”

The relaxed and cheerful tone of speech conveys a message all the time: this is just a normal and simple Hollywood incident. There must be regrets, but there are disappointments, but not necessarily. Vin Diesel is missing the second part of the series, Paul Walker is missing the third part of the series, and now Ranley Hall is missing the sixth part of the series, which doesn't seem like a big deal either.

All the shock came from the certainty that Universal Pictures would not let go of the rising Blue Rite, that the Blue Rite would not miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and that the audience's expectations of Hobbs would be answered. However, this is Hollywood, no one is irreplaceable Hollywood, and if you miss a project, you will have the next chance in Hollywood.

So, it's that simple?

"So, if the schedule is staggered in the future, or in the more distant future, will you still have a chance to star in the series?"

Lan Li said with a smile, "This will need to wait until the filming of 'Killing Reincarnation' is over. Four or two thousand pounds, skillfully avoiding the core of the question, but answering the question sideways, but in the current context, the reporters have to think more: between Fan and Lan Li, is it true that everything is rumored?

The reporters looked at Lan Li who was at ease in front of them, and obviously there were countless questions they wanted to ask, but at this time, they were all stuck, and they looked at Lan Li one by one, but one person stammered and asked, "Does Paul have any opinion on this?"

"He wished me good luck. I also wish him good luck. Lan Li replied with a smile, and then took a step, surrounded by assistants and managers, and left the airport, leaving the reporters looking at each other.

"Good luck"? Yesterday Fan just used this expression, and today Lan Li uses the same expression? Is this a coincidence, or is it deliberate? Is it really that simple? Is the inside story really not greasy? Fan and Lan Li really have no grudges? Everything is really so simple?

If this were the case, it is estimated that most of the reporters on the scene would not believe it. They are not innocent children, and the boiling news that has been hinting at the turbulent undercurrents beneath the calm surface has ended in such a strange way that no one can easily believe it.

But what really happened? The reporters had no way of knowing, at least not from Lan Li's body.

After seeing Lan Li leave, the reporters gradually came back to their senses, and their chaotic thoughts gradually became clear: Lan Li withdrew from the production of the sequel to "Fast and Thrilling"! The biggest contributor to the box office success of the fifth part of the series this year will not continue to play! The highly anticipated role of Luke Hobbs will retire from the big screen!

What's more, this news is not from Universal Pictures, but from Blue Gifts!

If it were placed at other times, it would not be a big deal, it may just be that Universal Pictures did not have time to officially release the news, or it may just be as Lan Li said, "the two sides reached a friendly consensus", but only a few days ago, there was positive news within Universal Pictures, and the negotiation of the contract renewal has made a breakthrough, and Universal Pictures is willing to invite Lan Li to star in a side story plus two sequels with a salary of eight million US dollars, so what is going on now?

Could it be that Lan Li rejected Universal Pictures? Could it be that Lan Li is still not satisfied with the 8 million salary? Could it be that the previous news was just a smoke bomb for Universal Pictures?

In the duel between the production company and the actors, it is always the company that has the upper hand, not to mention that Universal Pictures is also one of the six major Hollywood studios, but this time, it seems that the actors have the upper hand!

So, the reporters were in a commotion and scattered to all corners of Hollywood, trying to dig out the truth of the matter:

What happened to the crew of "Fast & Furious 5"?What happened during the negotiation of the sequel and the gaiden?How did things get to this point?What role did Warner Bros. play in the whole process?What is the powerful inside story?What kind of work is "Killing Reincarnation"?Why did Lan Li choose this work?How will things develop next?

In an instant, Universal Pictures became the object of all attention.
