It's one of them.

Brand effect, this is the second one.

What does this mean exactly? To put it simply, in Hollywood, the top people can't be easily offended, but they also don't want to offend the bottom workers casually.

Once offended by the latter, aside from the difficulties they can create in small details, rumors of them walking around the industry can easily ruin the brand image of a public figure. Large companies and public figures in all walks of life should be well aware that brand image is priceless, and it can take five years or ten years to polish a brand image to build, while it only takes a split second to destroy a brand image.

Everybody hates big names, and even restaurant waiters can spit in their drinks when they encounter deliberately difficult customers, let alone industry insiders in Hollywood.

No one likes to play big. Mariah Carey's reputation within the industry is already stinking, her big-name behavior is textbook, and although her records still have a certain market, the decline in her career cannot be stopped. However, Mariah Carey, who has been famous for many years, refuses to compromise and still goes her own way.

Now, Thomas Toole has secretly arranged such a trick, comparable to Mariah Carey - even more excessive than her, so that Lan Li can be dumb and can't say what is suffering, and then Lan Li's reputation will be completely stinky, and among the low-level staff, Lan Li may fall into a predicament of incomprehension little by little, destroying Lan Li's prestige from the root.

Of course, Lan Li's real ability lies in performance, just like Mariah Carey's singing voice, as long as the ability is still there, he will not be unemployed and will not be eliminated, and he can even stay at the top of the industry for many years, but the quality of the industry's reputation is a heavy blow to Lan Li's brand image. This kind of thing, once it is discredited, cannot be washed away.

If Thomas is smart enough, he can also inform the top management of the major Hollywood studios about this matter, and put himself in a low-profile position to "kill" Lan Li, and the top management is bound to be dissatisfied with the inflated and arrogant Lan Li, and this is how good relationships are estranged little by little - even if business relationships still exist, personal friendships can be gradually destroyed.

On the surface, Thomas pushed Lan Li to the altar, but in fact, Thomas pushed Lan Li to an isolated island.

Even if it was Lan Li, he couldn't help but want to applaud Thomas!

It can be seen that in the grand view of the pattern, Thomas may not have enough foresight, and the overall view and the overall situation still have obvious shortcomings, but in terms of intrigue, Thomas's small actions and ghost ideas are endless, which makes people unguardable, especially Lan Li's bright and upright style of acting, it is even easier to suffer.

It's like now, how should Lan Li deal with it?

First, Lan Li has no evidence to prove that it is Thomas's trick, but may fall into the suspicion of "sophistry"; second, Thomas only needs to say that "this is not Lan Li's request", then Lan Li will not be able to wash away if he really jumps into the Yellow River.

On top of that, denial doesn't change the status quo: the staff spent so much time and effort to build the van, and now it's been completely denied? So will the staff blame Thomas or Lan Li, or will they throw all their complaints to the two whales because of the "whale fights and shrimp suffer" dilemma?

Then this is exactly what Thomas wants, and he can further fuel the flames and make Lan Li's big-name behavior in the crew go to a higher extreme.

This should be the first reaction of most people, but Lan Li's thinking is even more far-reaching.

It can be said that Lan Li has never been like this before, but after experiencing the ups and downs of this year's awards season, his position in the industry has become more and more stable, coupled with Sisyphus Pictures' strong stunts, maybe Lan Li has begun to swell this year?

It can be said that Nina's understanding is wrong, this is not Lan Li's request - don't mention Thomas for the time being, but emphasize that it was a communication error, Lan Li can also list a series of facts that show that he would not make such a request at all, aside from such ridiculous requests as humidifiers and wine cabinets, just a bedroom and a bed sheet set, this is definitely not Lan Li's idea, although he is a hereditary nobleman, but the Hall family can't afford Egyptian cotton, but Andre has such a pursuit.

However, under the guidance of preconceived concepts, it is difficult for Nina to change her fixed concept, she may think that Lan Li "wants to build an archway when she is a/son", it may be that Lan Li is pretending to treat them, or she may think that Lan Li is hypocritically false and wrong...... To put it simply, all interpretations of the Blue Rite may be misinterpreted to look the other way.

It can be said that Lan Li has never asked for this, and the van car is returned, so Nina and the whole team's efforts have been put to waste, and the van can be compensated with a check, but the time and energy of the staff can no longer make up for it, but it may also make Lan Li fall into a "I don't know what to do" name, and further carry forward the style of playing big names.

In short, Lan Li's follow-up reaction can't perfectly solve the problem in front of him - at least, if Lan Li is Thomas, his follow-up will definitely not be easy to show mercy, otherwise the advantages that have been built up so hard will be surrendered in this way.

In a dilemma, it is difficult to ride a tiger.

This is the situation that Lan Li is facing now, if he wants to break the situation, turn the situation around, or even turn defeat into victory, Lan Li must find another way to break the routine, he can't follow the route set by Thomas, even if it is a road in Huashan, he must choose a plan that Thomas did not expect.

"Thank you. Countless thoughts had flashed through Lan Li's mind in a flash of lightning, and then he gave Nina a friendly smile and sincerely thanked him.

Regardless of where the battle between Lanley and Thomas goes, at least the staff are innocent and need to be rewarded and praised for their hardships.

Nina's first subconscious reaction was: fake.

But Nina felt Lan Li's gaze, and landed lightly and gently on her body, her skin was slightly hot, and she couldn't help but raise her neck, because of the huge difference in height, she couldn't fully see Lan Li's facial expression, but the soft curvature of the corners of her mouth and the bright light of her eyes outlined a vague outline in the slightly dim light inside the van, and she didn't need a special expression or gorgeous sentence to convey that sincere emotion.

Nina couldn't help but be a little stunned.

The phrase "......" muttered in the depths of her throat, but she only squeezed out a few meaningless syllables, and Nina was still a little embarrassed.

Retracting her gaze, Nina lowered her head slightly, covering her slightly hot cheeks, and cursed herself secretly in her heart: No future!

In any case, it is a good thing that their work can be recognized and recognized, and all the hardships have not been in vain. Although she still disdains Lan Li's big-name behavior, her anger and resentment did not continue to spread after all, and her sharp and complicated emotions were slightly alleviated.

Lan Li didn't say much, this was not the best time to explain, not to mention, he didn't intend to defend himself, he immediately asked, "May I ask, can the crew still arrange a mobile food truck? ”

What?, Nina's expression stiffened slightly.

"I hope that the mobile food truck can be placed next to the van and open every day according to the working hours of the crew. In addition to breakfast and afternoon tea, the staff can come over at any time to enjoy a little relaxation, I know how terrible the crew work can be, the energy consumed is incalculable, and coffee is the last source of energy. ”

Lan Li didn't seem to notice the change in Nina's expression, and continued with a smile.

"Putting the dining car and the van together, they can rest and adjust in the van at any time, and even say bad things about other colleagues and actors, it's like a pantry in the office. If you need to, you can ask the other cast and crew if there's anything else you need to add, and I think the kitchen and wine cooler should be able to add a few things. ”

Nina's mind was a little unturned, "But...... But...... It's not yours...... Uh, a van?"

"Of course, this is my van. But I'm also part of the crew, and I think it's the public property of the crew. Lan Li said in simple words.

Nina's eyes once again showed surprise and suspicion: This is not right! Two million dollars have been spent before and after, but it is just to create a public property of the crew? This is a joke, right? And it is a big joke!

Nina hesitated for a moment, then continued, "We all appreciate your kindness, but I don't think it's a good idea. She couldn't see through it, but she couldn't believe Lan Li's kindness. "You know, it's a welcome from the crew to your joining, and you should accept it. ”

Although it was obviously Lan Li's request, the polite words could only be said like this.

"Again, this is my kind of thank you for the warm welcome from the crew. Lan Li said with a smile, revealing an unquestionable firmness in his tone, but now, Lan Li still didn't explain too much, in the face of such a difficult situation, the power of words is the weakest, and action is the best counterattack, "By the way, Nina, can you contact Patrick Crowley and Christopher-Raimo? ”

Nina nodded in confusion and left the van with a question mark on her head, turning to look for the other two producers.
