Looking at Roy in front of him, Lan Li was actually a little unrecognizable.

Not only because his cheeks were severely tested by the sun, so that they were a little deformed, but also because his dress also broke the impression in Lan Li's mind.

In the previous encounters, Roy wore a suit shirt, but he was always a little sloppy, his clothes looked crumpled, his tie was crooked, and even traces of food could be seen in the collar or hem, and the raunchy image was further reflected in the messy desk.

Now Roy wears quick-drying underwear, jacket and light hiking shoes, a typical professional hiking suit, far from office attire, but the real difference is not in this, but the whole set of clothes is neat, strictly dressed in a professional way, meticulous, the clothes are tucked into the waistband of the trousers, the trousers are tightened, the neck is tied with a sweat towel, and so on, etc., completely without the previous messy appearance.

This, this is really unexpected.

Roy seemed to interpret the confusion in Lan Li's eyes, and smiled, but the contrasting face looked a little funny, "If you want to survive in the wild, strictly follow the rules of the manual, this is the first step." Especially for newbies. Roy's explanation made Lan Li uncontrollable, and Roy shrugged his shoulders invisibly, as if his strength was still not fully recovered, "Fifteen consecutive days of professional veterans' chatter, even if it is a stubborn stone, it needs to be improved." ”

The corners of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but rise again, and he added, "It's also to put an end to annoying nagging." ”

Roy nodded earnestly and admitted calmly, "This is the core reason. ”

Lan Li chuckled, "Why are you here?" I thought I had recognized the wrong person just now. After a brief anecdote, Lan Li raised the most obvious question.

Roy doesn't look like a fan of outdoor sports, not to mention, as an agent of the Screen Actors Guild, 365 days a year, almost every day is in a state of high-speed, not to mention holidays, even in daily life, overtime is commonplace. Taking time off work can be said to be a luxury for them.

Roy didn't answer immediately, but peeled off the chocolate, took two bites of the chocolate that had turned into a paste, and his rapid and disordered breathing calmed down a little, and then he said, "It's nothing, it's just that I quit." ”

Lan Li raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by this answer, "I thought you liked your job, you know, to help as many new actors as possible." ”

Roy squinted at Lan Li, the look in his eyes was clearly saying, "You're joking, right?" Lan Li innocently pursed the corners of his mouth, met Roy's gaze, looked back, didn't need words, but his expression couldn't be more obvious, as if to say, "I'm serious." At least judging from the several contacts between the two people, Lan Li didn't feel Roy's rejection.

Roy smiled dumbly, "To be precise, the agent in the Screen Actors Guild, no one likes their job. He stuffed the whole chocolate into his mouth and chewed it slowly to replenish his body's energy, explaining incidentally, "In the morning, because of an accident, my kettle spilled over, and then my lunch was taken by a badger. ”

A simple sentence that explains why Roy is so embarrassed.

Lan Li didn't hold back for a moment, and the corners of his mouth rose. Roy also knew that it was ridiculous, but in the wilderness, anything is possible, and he shrugged his shoulders, expressing his helplessness, and confirmed, "The agent of the Screen Actors Guild is like a court-appointed public lawyer." The salary is not high, the work is hard, no one cares, and the rights and interests are limited, just like charity. But the point is, no one in our lives wants to be charitable. ”

Although Lan Li is only an actor and has limited knowledge of the agent's work, he knows what Roy said.

To put it simply, the higher the actor's income, the higher their income, the higher their income, which is why all agents continue to strive for higher salaries for their actors, while public agents like Roy rely on the wages paid by the actors' unions to make a living, and the income of the actors has nothing to do with them, of course, the new actors do not have much income.

So why would anyone still want to work as a public broker?

The reason is very simple, the first is career planning, and in the future, he plans to engage in management work such as senior leading cadres of the Screen Actors Guild, or seek positions in production companies; and the second is the establishment of contacts, relying on the big tree of the Screen Actors Guild of America, and the relationship with the six major film companies can be established without obstacles, and when he changes jobs in the future, the role is immeasurable.

A public broker like Roy has a very high turnover and is extremely frequent. It is not uncommon for a third-tier actor to star in a work, and when the contract is signed, filmed, and completed, three different public agents are handling the work.

It's not uncommon to resign.

"And what's next for you?" Lan Li asked.

With the exception of a small number of public brokers who are committed to "philanthropy" causes who are willing to run the profession as a lifelong career, most public brokers are well aware that they are bound to quit one day. Therefore, before submitting your resignation, you will have a certain plan for your career.

Obviously, switching to a professional broker is the most suitable and easiest option.

But surprisingly, Roy shook his head, "I don't know for a while." That's why I chose to hike, I plan to put my work aside for a while, enjoy the vacation, see where the trail ends, when I'm ready to stop, and then think about my future plans. ”

Lan Li was a little stunned, from these simple words, it can be guessed that the resignation was an unexpected move, Roy had left the Screen Actors Guild before he had time to make the next plan, behind this, what happened to the story, it is really intriguing.

However, that was Roy's private business, and Lan Li had no intention of spying.

"In which direction did you start here?" Lan Li did not continue to have an in-depth conversation, but changed the subject.

For the gentleman of Lan Li, Roy was not surprised at all. In the previous conversations, he was impressed by the maturity and wisdom of the teenager, "Peggy. Roy replied.

Immediately afterwards, the two men started a conversation about their hiking experiences in the past period, as if they were just two ordinary hikers, inadvertently sharing their experiences occasionally on the road, and then embarking on their own scheduled journeys again. On the road ahead, they may or may not meet again, but this chance encounter has become a part of their journey.

Roy listened carefully to Lan Li's story, those bland, interesting, thrilling, and exciting experiences, you can see Lan Li's concentration and dedication from the active look between his eyebrows - this is not just an impulsive attempt, but a real enjoyment.

Due to the short fate before, Lan Li left a deep impression on Roy, and when he usually browsed the news, he would pay more attention to Lan Li's news when he saw it. Those disturbing controversies, those boiling discussions, and those doubts about truth and falsehood, are like a thin veil, isolating Lan Li from the public, and he has never been able to get a glimpse of his truth.

But looking at the Lan Li in front of him, with the vigor and vigor of a young man's heart, with the wanton and flamboyant spirit of a fiery youth, the image of Lan Li in Roy's mind gradually began to become plump.

"Are you sure?" Roy looked at the supplies laid out in front of him, less than a quarter of the kettle's stock of pure water, a piece of melted chocolate, half an energy bar, and two slices of whole-wheat bread.

Even beggars will dislike the incomparably cold materials in the city, but in the wilderness, they are worth thousands of gold and are incomparably precious. In particular, Lan Li left half of the water resources that he had left, which is even more commendable.

Lan Li's dark brown eyes flickered slightly, "It's not a difficult choice whether to keep these supplies or carry you to the supply point. The humorous teasing made Roy wonder, "I should ask this question, are you sure?"

After a short conversation, the two of them were separated again, and this was the inevitable experience during the hike. This is a journey of oneself and one's own struggle, even if it is accompanied by companions, but every step on the road must be completed by oneself. Both Roy and Lan Li clearly understand this.

Roy motioned for Lan Li to leave first, while he stayed where he was, rebuilding his strength, and then set out on his own.

"Don't worry, I won't joke with my life, otherwise, even if I drag your pants, I won't let you go. Roy, who had taken off his suit, seemed to be a little different from the office, and he relaxed a little between words.

Lan Li didn't say anything more, nodded in confirmation, and then picked up his bags again, stood up, adjusted his muscles, and prepared to set off again, "When you arrive at the supply station, I will tell the ambulance staff in the camp that everyone is waiting for your arrival tonight." ”

It's also a rescue technique during the hike. If Roy still doesn't show up after a certain time limit, the ambulance crew will go to the rescue to ensure the safety of everyone left behind as much as possible.

Roy waved his hand in response, and a thought flashed through his mind as he watched Lan Li leave, and he raised his voice and said, "Congratulations on your recovery." ”

According to previous news reports, in order to shoot "Me Fighting Cancer", Lan Li's physical and mental conditions were in trouble, which caused a lot of discussions. Some people believe it, and naturally some people don't believe it, and many people in the industry believe that this is a false impression deliberately created by Lanli's public relations team in order to quell the malicious hype of the news.

But in Roy's opinion, he believed it was true.

Lan Li turned around, stepped back in an orderly manner, showed a shallow smile, and said loudly, "Congratulations on embracing freedom and starting your life again." ”
