"Next is your stage, I don't want to compete with you for the spotlight. What do you say?"

In the face of Lan Li's words that were taken for granted, Arthur said mercilessly, "If you are lazy, you can say it clearly, and you don't need to whitewash the peace." Then you could see that the corners of Lan Li's mouth were raised high, and a sly smile appeared in his eyes, which showed acquiescence in such a way that Arthur was speechless.

Now, though, Arthur can vaguely understand Andy Rogers' concerns.

For Lan Li, performance is the only meaning, all his talent and energy are poured into acting, which allows him to shine on the stage, as if all life force is burned, and God is fair, in his place, Lan Li has become ordinary in other ways This time, Lan Li bravely shouldered the future of Sisyphus Pictures and Don Quixote, this is already a major breakthrough, he should not ask for more.

Otherwise...... Even though Sisyphus Pictures and Don Quixote Channel were established, it would be a pity to regret that Lan Li was deprived of his breakthrough and progress in acting.

Andy didn't want that, and neither did Arthur.

So, Arthur hung his gaze and replied with a smile, "Thank you." With a small joke, he put an end to all the topics, then turned to Edith and said complainingly, "What about you? Don't say that you are here specifically for Lan Li, this is really too numb." ”

Edith looked at Arthur inexplicably: Why did you suddenly shift the muzzle?

Immediately afterwards, Lan Li also said, "I also don't think it's appropriate, although I'm not very happy with Chris, but it's not my hobby to win people's love." ”

"Lan Li-Hall!" Edith closed her eyes and suppressed her anger vigorously, she felt that she might not be able to face this group of boys alone, she needed a bottle of whiskey, and then opened her eyes and showed a hideous smile towards Lan Li, "You can try it, I promise to give you a slap in the door, so that the invincible Lan Li in the world can also taste the taste of rejection." ”

"Oh? I really think it's kind of funny when you say that. Lan Li's last note raised slightly, and Edith's suppressed anger voice rose, "Sebastian!" This was already the level of the Hedong Lion's Roar, she turned her head and looked at Arthur, "Are you sure you don't say something? Otherwise, that night in Edinburgh will ......"

"Hey, Lan Li, why don't you go back and rest first, right? The patient needs to rest well, and he will be back to the crew tomorrow, and now he needs to recharge his batteries, I've been bothering you for too long, we should leave now, right?" Arthur immediately interrupted Edith's words, and said with a smile.

Such a clumsy trick, not to mention Lan Li, even Edith couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Arthur, it's good that you didn't become an actor, it must have been a disaster." ”

"Who knows? The paralyzed vase is so popular, Arthur might be able to make a chance if he is willing to take off his shirt. Lan Li's serious words made it impossible to tell whether it was a joke or a sincere one, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other like this, and there was a strange atmosphere surging between them, wanting to laugh but couldn't.

In the end, it was Edith who broke the ice, "What if I say it now, I hope Chris will have the opportunity to talk to Sisyphus Pictures about future collaborations?"

With a brush, Lan Li and Arthur's eyes fell on Edith.

Although "Captain America" has only been released in the second part, and the follow-up filming of "The Avengers" is also being carried out one after another, Chris Evans is far from worrying about "no job", but under the glamorous and beautiful appearance, Chris is always worried about his future

What should he do after leaving Captain America?

Chris knew he couldn't be Captain America for the rest of his life, and even if he wanted to, Disney wouldn't, let alone himself. This is true for all of them, including Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., who must find a way out as an actor, which is also a problem faced by every superhero.

Just look at the "Harry Potter" trio and it's easy to see at a glance.

Especially Chris still needs to face the pressure of an actor who is constantly making history: although Lan Li has never put pressure on him head-on, Chris knows that the pressure of the Hall family is definitely not so easy Edith rarely mentions those things in London, just a few words, Chris can still feel that Lan Li is also under heavy pressure in the Hall family, so even Lan Li is like this, what should he do?

All of this made Chris even more anxious.

Edith also sees Chris's predicament, "I mean, it's not about a specific collaboration, it's about seeing if he can find other possibilities, and what he needs now is not opportunities, but inspiration." Even if nothing is negotiated in the end, that's okay, at least he can generate more ideas. Edith didn't want to reach out to help Chris in a hurry, she was just matchmaking.

But Lan Li keenly captured the details, "Does Chris know?" He didn't know if Chris minded Edith's help, but he knew that Chris definitely minded if Edith asked him for help After all, he and Matthew weren't able to treat Chris well at Egot's celebration party last year.

Edith rolled her eyes helplessly, "You really should be a prophet and get a crystal ball or tarot card or something." ”

Lan Li shook her head slightly, "Edith, this is not you. Remember how you told me? Chris taught you how to love people, and he taught you how to be strong, and those are things that you can't learn at Hall, but if Chris is such a guy, then you won't meddle, because you know, if you need to, Chris will at least open up to me. ”

Edith scratched her hair a little irritably, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up struggling, "Okay, I'll admit I did it on purpose. ”

What do you mean?

Arthur cast his gaze at Lan Li, but Lan Li didn't know why.

Edith glared fiercely at Arthur, "Don't gossip around. ”

Arthur was completely innocent, "I don't even have his contact information, okay? We only met once at Oscar night, just once, how could I gossip? Also, why don't you say Lan Li?"

"You know it yourself. Edith didn't care, gritted her teeth, and then regardless of Arthur's depressed expression, she scratched her hair again, the short hair had completely become a chicken nest, and she could hear Lan Li's voice coming over, "Need a cigarette?"

Edith didn't refuse, she took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and took a hard puff, her irritability seemed to calm down a little, "I had a big fight with Chris, no, strictly speaking, we have quarreled several times, and then I had a cold war with him for three days, refusing to answer all his calls, he was simply unreasonable, so, I thought, deliberately framed him." ”

Arthur still didn't understand, "I don't know, you told Lan Li that Chris wants to cooperate with Sisyphus Pictures, what kind of revenge is this?"

"I don't know, I don't know. Edith's mood became really irritable, and she screamed directly at Arthur Edith's mood is indeed unstable today, she had screamed at Lan Li before, and now it is the second time that her emotions have lost control, "I just think that maybe Lan Li can help me teach him a lesson, maybe this can hit his self-esteem and let him know how uncomfortable he will be if I do something he doesn't want to do, so he shouldn't stop me." ”

The logic is indeed a bit confusing, and the cause and effect do not make sense, and it can be seen from the side that Edith's thoughts are also chaotic now, and she has no way to sort out her thoughts herself.

"Do you need me to teach him a lesson now?" Lan Li asked directly, and he didn't even ask Chris what he had done.

Edith tilted her head and cast her gaze towards Lan Li, "Are you sure it must be his fault?

"I don't care, I'm your brother, who is he?" Lan Li said simply and bluntly.

Edith couldn't help but laugh, "Brother?" Lan Li rarely wants to call herself "brother", more often "we are all Hall", today is an exception.

Lan Li shook his head slightly, "Don't take an inch. ”

Edith took it when she saw it, and took another puff of her cigarette, "I don't know, I don't know if I want you to teach him a lesson, I just ...... I'm just ......" let out a long breath, and Edith, who was always calm, hesitated, "I just need a little bit of support." ”

Neither Arthur nor Lan Li spoke.

In the silence, Edith smoked quietly like this, swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, and the loneliness outlined by the side face made the air quiet.

Lan Li, Edith, and Arthur all share similar loneliness and loneliness. This may be the common denominator of living in the Hall family, but they all hide those vulnerabilities in their own way, and they have never been exposed, and only now have they carefully shown it.

After a little gathering of her thoughts, Edith finally calmed down and continued to explain the situation.

"Since last year, the situation in Turkey has been volatile, not to mention the complications in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. Not only in Europe, but also in the United States. Recently, there have been some situations near the border, which have not yet been reported, and the United Nations wants me to follow the Red Cross to the front line to take some photos and report on it. ”

"As you know, there is a very short supply of photographic war correspondents who are familiar with the situation on the ground and can seize the opportunity to cover the news, and my experience and ability can help. I still want to be a part of it, it's not on the front line, it's not as dangerous as I imagined, our work is in the relative rear, but ...... But Chris disagreed, he thought I was suicidal, and he couldn't understand my choice. ”
