It was a sleepless night, and the bustle of the pioneer village went on so vigorously that the show had already come to an end at half-past nine, but the crowd continued unabated until eleven o'clock. Most of the supporters of the Blue Rite left one after another, but a small number remained, drinking beer and chatting, and then some of the party animals heard the noise and ran over, as if they had made up their minds to party all night.

Leaving the crowd, Lan Li came to the bar and knocked on the table, "Neil, give me a glass of soda." ”

He needed to moisten his throat now, and tonight's workload was comparable to that of a West End performance, and not only his throat, but also his wrist.

The activity moved his wrist and relieved the soreness. His wrist didn't seem to have been challenged so hard since he spent eight hours on the piano in his childhood, and tonight once again awakened his childhood memories, and he couldn't remember whether he had signed two hundred or three hundred, and after fifty signatures, counting had lost its meaning.

Andy, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Lan Li like this, "You know, in fact, you don't have to be so honest. Lan Li turned his head and cast a puzzled gaze, Andy added, "Even those professional singers, at the book signing, they will generally limit a number, one hundred, or one hundred and fifty, and after the signing, this is over." ”

Usually Lan Li, wise and calm, even a little cunning, but today he is so sincere, honest and a little silly. It's really funny.

Lan Li took the soda from Neil's hand and said with a smile, "It's not strange. I'm not a professional singer. After saying that, Lan Li poured the soda into his throat in one go, let out a long breath, and said in a loud voice, "Neil, I'll go back first." You say hello to George and Stanley. Then, without any pause, Lan Li strode towards the door.

"Lan Li, Lan Li!" Neil also tried to call out Lan Li, but only saw a back, and shook his head helplessly. "I also want to say thank you......"

Lan Li's understatement just now revealed that he is not a professional singer, so he doesn't need to be as carefully planned as them, but treats people with sincerity.

Involuntarily, the curvature of Andy's mouth never fell to add a familiar smile, and when he turned around, he found Roy sitting in place, a little distracted, and the thoughtful contemplation rippled under the flickering light of the bar.

"Let's go. Andy patted Roy on the shoulder, "It's just a matter of something, let's go to Lan Li's apartment together." ”

After today's meeting, he wondered if he was going to make a trip to the Caribbean in person. Lan Li was on vacation, and logically speaking, he didn't intend to bother unless it was an urgent or important matter, but this time the matter was just an important matter, and it was really inconvenient to talk across the entire Caribbean, but if he flew over in person, he might not be able to catch Lan Li, and whether Roy still needed to be involved, he was not sure

Traditionally, managers and agents report to the artist in the end, and the reason why the previous script selection has passed through Roy is mainly the run-in of cooperation. But this time the situation was different, and he needed to communicate directly with Lan Li. So, does Lan Li want Roy to participate? Or does he need Roy to participate?

Now, though, all doubts are solved. Lan Li came back early, and things suddenly became much simpler.

Andy stood up, staggered out of the pioneer village with a beer belly, but Roy didn't get up immediately, but sat still, was silent thoughtfully for a moment, then laughed, picked up the draught beer next to him, poured the rest of it into his mouth, looked left and right, and said to Neil, "Tell Nathan that he will continue to take the holiday tonight, don't worry, and return to work tomorrow." ”

Then, Roy put down his glass, got up, left, and when he came to the door of the bar, Lan Li and Andy were already sitting in the taxi, he also sat in the back seat, closed the door, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

When Nathan came back to his senses, he realized, "Hey, what about them?"

After getting into the taxi, Lan Li closed his eyes, originally planning to close his eyes for a while, but he didn't expect to be too tired, and fell asleep in a groggy state. First the return from a long flight, then the Mount Sinai Hospital, and then the performance in the pioneer village in the evening, the road was really exhausting and bumpy. Of course, a large part of the reason is that he still hasn't been able to recover from the leisurely state of vacation

According to the biological clock of the resort, you can either party at this time or fall asleep early after a long day of surfing and diving. Now, Lan Li's biological clock seems to be more in line with the latter.

From the pioneer village, it's only a 10-minute drive to the apartments in Lanley. Roy had to wake up Lan Li, and the group of three went back upstairs. "Boom", the sound of the gate rollers sliding on the rails made the quiet moonlight ripple around, Roy consciously stayed last, and after the two of them entered the house, he closed the door again.

Lan Li found a comfortable position in the corner of the sofa, and his heavy eyelids seemed to start drooping again, but the vibration sound from his trouser pocket prevented him from losing consciousness immediately.

After being stunned for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and opened it to see that it was actually a text message from Heather, which read, "Thirty minutes ago, Alex's surgery was over. Temporarily fine. He is currently in the seriously ill patient unit and is under observation. ”

In an instant, all the sleepy insects were swept away, Lan Li's eyes widened, and after reading it again, his mood couldn't help but fly, and even the corners of his mouth were outlined. Adjusting his sitting position, he quickly replied to a text message, "Friend, don't you need to get up early tomorrow to practice guitar? ”

After clicking send, Heather's expression when she received the message made up for it, and she couldn't help but chuckle lowly. Putting the phone on the table, he looked up at Roy and Andy, who were sitting down, respectively, "I'm going to have a beer." Which of you wants to join me?" the soothing brows outlined a touch of lightness, like crystal clear spring water, reflecting the bright moonlight.

Andy and Roy couldn't help but be stunned, the huge gap in this moment was completely unclear.

"Lan Li......" Andy, as an agent, still had to ask, his eyes fell on the mobile phone on the coffee table, "Are you in love?" This is the most likely guess in his mind. After all, Lan Li has just returned from vacation, and it is really normal for Lan Li to meet a beautiful woman on those small Caribbean islands and start dating.

Lan Li walked into the kitchen, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "I thought your imagination was more than that. This joke, although there is no positive response, the subtext is obvious, "Don't worry, if I start dating, I promise you'll find out sooner than the paparazzi." ”

Andy chuckled twice, understanding what Lan Li meant, and Roy asked, "What the hell is going on? Is there something good going on?"

"Yes, it's a good thing. Lan Li brought a beer and put it on the coffee table, signaling that they could enjoy it as they pleased, "I have been volunteering at Mount Sinai Hospital, and this afternoon, a lovely child received a heart transplant, and I just learned that the operation is over, everything is fine for the time being, and he is resting now." I'll check him out again before I travel to Toronto. ”

Andy knew more about Mount Sinai Hospital, but Roy heard about it for the first time, so he couldn't help but glance at Andy, and the two exchanged glances, and Roy was relieved. There are more important things to do tonight, and the topic of Mount Sinai Hospital can be discussed later.

"You two are so eager to come over, you can't even wait for tomorrow, it seems to be urgent. Lan Li opened the beer and took a big sip, although the topic was serious, but the smile was extraordinarily relaxed. Tonight's beauty can't compare to that text message from Haser.

Andy adjusted his sitting position to find a suitable position before speaking, "Indeed. On the one hand, they are using the media's public opinion to put pressure on you, and they are implying that you are opening your mouth and asking for too much pay......"

"How much did you ask for?" Lan Li interrupted Andy's words and asked.

"Seven million. "In recent times, Andy has not been idle, hanging from Universal Pictures not far away, and he will attend every meeting, but every discussion has not progressed much. It's not that he won't give an inch, but the extent to which he compromises every time is very limited, and now he still bites seven million and refuses to let go. This is also a big reason why Universal Pictures is constantly exerting pressure.

Lan Li gently retracted her chin, "It seems that my appetite is indeed not small. ”

This self-teasing made Andy laugh and continued, "This is just the beginning. I haven't talked to them about box office dividends yet, and if I can't afford it now, then I think it's the best choice to get together and disperse. Andy doesn't think so, this is what Lan Li deserves, even if it is not a $10 million salary, but Universal Pictures needs to show enough sincerity, not choose to disobey in the first place.

Andy is not a good-natured person, much less a soft persimmon.

Lan Li raised her eyebrows lightly and didn't say anything more. He doesn't have any particular idea about the remuneration itself, but he knows that the remuneration of commercial films is definitely not as simple as personal income. What's more, he is not a saint who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and it is a matter of course to win higher remuneration through his labor and higher recognition through his own value.

As for the specific requirements for salary, Lan Li believes that this is Andy's profession, and he should know more than himself.

"On the other hand, they also began to exert pressure through their own means. Michael Fortrek has no intention of letting go easily. Andy continued.
