The sound of the continuous drizzle hitting the glass, like a swirling smoke, slowly spreads, enveloping the whole building, and the scenery outside the window is only a large cloud of smoky gray, and even the black is like thick ink in the water, and the world escapes into chaos, gloomy, cold, and solemn.

Everything is so familiar that it never seems to have changed.

"Mr. Hall. The call interrupted Lan Li's train of thought, retracted her gaze, turned her head to look back, the uniformed customs officer in front of her, with a gentle smile on her face, could not hide her excitement between her eyebrows, she seemed to notice Lan Li's gaze, and sighed, "It's really bad weather." ”

"Winter has just begun. Lan Li's answer made the other party shrug his shoulders and show a big smile, "Who said it wasn't?" quickly stamped the entry stamp on his passport, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "I'm sure you've heard it countless times, but ......'Love Goes Crazy' It's an excellent movie, Jesus Christ, I've watched it six times." ”

Lan Li was stunned, he didn't expect to hear such a conversation at the immigration customs, but the customs in the United Kingdom and the United States are always like this, they like to chat a few words, and they also like to gossip a few words, and the corners of his mouth can't help but rise, "Thank you." Trust me, such compliments are welcome at all times, and you light up my day. ”

A polite and gentlemanly reply, but with a faint warmth, the lady in front of her chuckled heartily, "Wow, my pleasure." I can assure you, you saved my whole day. The lady was so happy that her whole body was shaking slightly, but she still restrained herself in time, "You must be very tired from a long flight, so I won't disturb you to go back and rest." The customs lady handed her passport to Lan Li and said with a smile, "Welcome home." ”

Welcome home.

Lan Li's right hand that took the passport paused slightly and lowered his eyes. Coming home, indeed, in the eyes of everyone, this is his home. London, United Kingdom.

Lan Li gently bowed his head, put his passport in his pocket, and walked away quickly. Nathan and Roy had already passed through customs first, standing a short distance away, waiting, seeing his figure, they greeted him, and the three of them walked in the direction of the baggage carousel.

The preparation for Edge of Tomorrow went smoothly and far beyond imagination. Frank Marshall officially took over as the lead producer of the crew, and under his push, the crew went into high-speed mode.

Not only was the selection of the filming crew methodical, but Warner Bros. was also given the green light. First, a production budget of $100 million was approved, and whether additional investment was made in the later stages is subject to availability, and then the crew's application to shoot on location in the UK was approved. Not London, of course.

The crew will be filming two scenes in London, one at Heathrow Airport and one at Trafalgar Square. Other scenes will be filmed at the Hampshire filming base on location and in the studio, including the final battle at the Louvre, which will be done in the local studio.

This small detail can be seen that with Lan Li and Paul in charge, Frank's joining has given Warner Bros. more confidence. The future of this work within the company is gradually rising.

The first crew of the crew has already arrived at the Hampshire filming base to prepare for the next shoot, and the main force will be coming to the UK in batches next week, and the official start date has not yet been set, as the casting has not yet been completed. The reason why Lan Li flew over in advance was naturally because he had a job.

On the one hand, it is for the next shooting. In the movie, Cage and Rita and others need to wear a suit of armor to fight, which is also the most important part of the combat process, the crew has two plans, one is to use motion capture technology, the armor is completely produced with post-computer special effects, and the other is to use lighter materials to realistically make armor, put into actual shooting, and then assist post-computer special effects to produce realistic combat effects.

Eventually, Paul insisted on the second option. It's more realistic, more visually striking, and at the same time more in line with his shooting style. Therefore, Lan Li came over in advance to cooperate with the props team to make armor, adapt to the wearing of armor, and prepare for shooting.

On the other hand, it's for Eaton Dormer. This childhood friend, who founded his own fashion brand, invited Lan Li to attend the opening ceremony. In the past year, Lan Li's clothing styling has been handed over to Eaton, his two apartments in New York and Los Angeles, Eaton personally visited, and then supplemented the type of clothing in the wardrobe, not only formal occasions, including private clothing, Eaton has also taken care of all aspects, it can be said that it is dedicated.

Whether as a partner or as a long-time friend, it is a matter of course to attend the opening ceremony.

Back in London again, Lan Li is becoming calm. Not only because of the fact that the differences between cities are gradually disappearing over the past year or so, and London is just another place to work, but also because his mentality has become more and more peaceful, and the dream and future carried by the name "Lanli" are more important than the involvement and entanglement carried by the surname "Hall". The past two years of life have been so fulfilling and so beautiful, he has never and will not regret his original choice.

“…… Jesus Christ, the weather is really terrible. If it continues like this, will all of our future outdoor shoots become rain scenes?" Nathan muttered as he watched the continuous rain outside. Filming in the heavy rain was a challenge for the entire crew.

"Now this season, rain is a high probability event. Roy's gaze also turned to him, and his words were still lazy, "The best thing we can do now is to pray that the filming of the crew can be completed as soon as possible." It's good that this nightmare ends soon. ”

Nightmare. It would have been very interesting if the rest of the crew had heard Roy describe it like that.

"Excuse me...... Are you Lan Li?" a voice came from the side, hesitantly walked to the front of Lan Li, and then his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, revealing an excited look, "Jesus Christ, it's really you!"

Lan Li's attention left Roy and Nathan, and followed the sound to look over, and then he noticed that there was not just one person in front of him, but a small team of five people, all of whom looked like college students, three girls and two boys, and the faces of the five people all showed a look of surprise, "Lan Li, you will never believe it, just now, we were still discussing 'love is crazy', to be honest, do you think Jacob and Anna can finally come together?"

If it was on the show, or at the "Love Crazy" viewing meeting, there was no sense of disobedience to this question, but at Heathrow Airport, the follow-up influence of this movie was far greater than imagined, which made Lan Li feel a sense of fulfillment - because, after he watched "Love Crazy" himself, it was like this, this is the charm of the movie. Or rather, that's the beauty of art.

Lan Li smiled dumbly, "It's your choice. The story on the big screen is over, and the future of association is the personal choice of every viewer. ”

"Look, I told you ......" "No, no, no, I'm still sticking to my opinion", several people began to argue in a chatter, even forgetting Lan Li standing in front of them.

The girl standing next to her took the initiative to stretch out her right hand, "Excuse me, can I shake hands with you?" Lan Li did not answer, but directly shook the other party's right hand, showing friendship, "Jesus, oh, Jesus." I just wanted to tell you that your performance is really amazing. I've never seen such a wonderful romance movie, and to be honest, I'm in love with Jacob now, I'm on it!" Suddenly, the girl's voice distorted and she began to scream, she had to cover her mouth with her left hand, look at Lan Li with a smile rising in front of her, and then widen her eyes, "I love you so fuckingly! ”

Seeing the girl's performance so straightforward and so excited, Lan Li's mood also lightened, "Thank you." ”

Then, another boy also held out his right hand and interjected, "Man, 'Fast & Thrill 5' is really cool! I'm looking forward to your performance in the sequel." ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be in a sequel. Lan Li held his opponent's right hand and apologized, and then saw the boy's stunned expression, "What?" Lan Li patted the boy's shoulder and said with a smile, "Good luck." Hope you all have a nice day. With that, Lan Li walked towards Roy and Nathan, who were diagonally ahead—their luggage had arrived in the middle of the conversation.

Taking two steps forward, Nathan showed a big smile, "Now I finally have some real feelings......" Before the words could fall, another middle-aged man walked forward briskly and gave Lan Li a thumbs up, "'Love is crazy' is really good!"

Before Lan Li could react, the man had already disappeared in front of him, and Lan Li exchanged glances with Nathan and Roy, and all three of them couldn't help laughing.

Lan Li is not a top superstar now, so naturally he has no pretense. A simple white shirt with black jeans, a navy blue long trench coat on the outside, no sunglasses, no hat, slightly curly short hair and even a little messy, pedestrians coming and going, a little attention, one after another, recognized the recent fierce hot actors.

From the luggage carousel to the arrival gate, in a short distance of thirty or forty meters, Lan Li was recognized by at least a dozen groups of people, most of whom greeted each other in a friendly manner, occasionally someone stepped forward to hug, and occasionally someone enthusiastically discussed Lan Li's works.

The only surprise is that there are actually more viewers who mention "Love is crazy" than "Speed and Excitement/Love 5". Is this because the British have a special preference for such romance movies?

There were still seven or eight steps from the gate, and a figure wearing a black trench coat entered Lan Li's line of sight.
