"Shut up!"

After the earth-shattering roar erupted, the entire office fell silent, and even Fan was frightened. This kind of Paul is really too strange.

Paul's chest rose and fell rapidly, but his emotions gradually settled down with this outburst, and his voice gradually regained its calmness, revealing a lingering tiredness, "Let me tell you! Those things that you cherish so much are worthless in the eyes of some people! Some people just want to take the film seriously, while here you are calculating intrigues and tricks, using your vicious thoughts to speculate on other people's thoughts! dirty! shameless! despicable!"

The anger burned again as the words were directed, but this time it didn't get out of control, and it calmed down again.

"You know what? I don't care, and neither does Lan Li. Nobody cares. Except for you!" Paul shook his head and shook his head again, helpless and incredulous, "They told me before that you were trying to cut my play and then increase your weight, trying to turn the series into a 'Vin Diesel series', and I didn't believe it. Now, the slap is in my face. It seems that you are right, I am naïve. ”

Those rumors are true.

Fan opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Paul's bright and clear eyes, all the words were swirling on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't say it. Lies are hidden in the face of sincerity.

Even though he was no longer hopeful, Paul was slightly stunned. Perhaps, deep down, he still hoped that Fan would be able to refute him. But, once again, he was disappointed.

"So, in order to avoid me being kicked out of the crew, should I fight for myself?" Paul said cheerfully, looking back at Neil and Michael, "Should I also say that if I fire Lan Li, then I will quit too?

Neil tried to say something, but Paul had no intention of listening. Turning his head and looking at Fan who was avoiding his gaze in front of him, he just turned his head and stared at the sunlight outside the window with an expressionless face, making it impossible to distinguish his emotions. Paul tried to say a little more, but found that whatever he said was in vain, so his tense shoulders drooped slightly, and he looked at Fan with a disappointed face, "I thought we were friends. ”

After saying that, without any pause, Paul turned and left.

"Paul, we are friends. Fan finally came to his senses, he still hoped to convince Paul that he didn't mean to target him, the two of them could still star in a sequel together, and they could still raise their salaries together. However, he did not have time, because Paul did not look back and strode away, leaving only the simplest words.

"No, we're not. "Like a wisp of smoke, it has disappeared without a trace before the breeze blows, but the residual breath melts into the air and spreads quietly.

Striding out of the office, Paul didn't know what to do now. When I came to the underground parking lot, sat in my car, looked at the familiar steering wheel, and couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces during the filming of "Fast and Thrilling/Emotional" again, no one expected this work to be able to get to this day, but, did anyone expect that they would eventually come to this day?

Pulling out his phone and dialing the phone, Paul told his agent, Lukas-Hunter, about his decision.

"No, it's non-negotiable!Lucas! I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm informing me of my decision! Lan Li quit, I'll quit, it's that simple! I know what I'm doing! No need to argue, it's the final decision! You tell Neil and Michael at once, I don't care about anything else, it's that simple!"

Paul vented his thoughts and hung up the phone. He knew it was rude, and hesitated to send a text message saying "I'm sorry", but now he was so upset that he couldn't calm down at all, and the outpouring of anger kept churning in his chest, and he could even hear the gurgling sound and rampage.

The phone rang again, Paul answered it directly, and Lucas's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Paul, what the hell is going on? You have to tell me so I can do it." You can't just tell me something and I'll just mess around. Paul ......"

Lucas's anxious voice revealed fright, obviously frightened by such a violent Paul, trying to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.

"Nothing, just that I was naïve and stupid. Paul's mouth was full of bitterness, and he was already not even angry with Fan, but because of himself.

But why, exactly? Because he doesn't know people clearly, because his friendship has been let down, because he feels good about himself, because of intrigue, or because deep down, he also knows that this is Vanity Fair, this is reality?

So, whose fault is this, Lan Li, Fan, or himself? When did things start to go wrong? Part 5, Part 4, or in the more distant Part 2, where the two chose to go their separate ways in the first place?

Perhaps, they were not friends indeed, not from beginning to end.

"Fan wants to create a 'fast and exciting/emotional' exclusive to Dominica, so he can't tolerate the existence of Lan Li, and the next part is to further cut the role of other people, including me. You warned me, I don't believe it, and now, I have no way to refute it. Paul said nonsense as if venting, the words were endless, just throwing the words out in fragments, hung up the phone again, and then threw the phone into the passenger seat, the whole person leaned heavily on the back of the seat, and let out a long breath, the dull feeling made him almost out of breath.

After calming down, his thoughts began to surge, related, irrelevant, first thinking about everything that happened in the office just now, and then thinking of his acting career after leaving the "Fast and Exciting/Love" series, and then thinking of his daughter who will come to Los Angeles next week, and couldn't help but think of the last time he talked to the "Detached" crew and Lan Li in New York, and then thought of the difference of opinion between him and Fan before the preparation of "Fast and Exciting / Emotions 2......

The chaotic thoughts are just wisps of thoughts, and it is impossible to follow a thought at all, thinking about it, the thoughts are just more and more, and the whole brain begins to swell, Paul can't help but tilt his head against the back of the chair, raise his hand and rub his temple, trying to relieve the faint pain, but the phone ringing again does not help.

Paul didn't want to answer the phone, but the phone kept ringing, which was too annoying. After all, Paul grabbed his phone and said depressedly, "Lucas, I don't want to discuss it! Not today, not today! Can't you just let me be quiet for a while? I need a little space!"

"I'm sorry. You mean, you're not interested in partying?"

Paul was stunned, took the phone off his ear, glanced at it, and then noticed that the caller ID was written, Lan Li Hall, he didn't notice it at all just now, and his irritability couldn't help choking, and then turned into a helpless smile, "Sorry, I thought it was Lucas." ”

"Yes, I just heard that. Lan Li chuckled, "Are you busy right now?" I'm about to head to a party, and I've never received an invitation like this before in Beverly Hills. I wanted to come with you, but if you're not available, I can call Ryan. ”

This is, of course, a lie.

Just now, Lucas called Andy, explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then asked Lan Li for help. Paul, who was in such a state of chaos, was not only unfamiliar, but also at a loss, Lucas had never encountered such a situation, and he really didn't know what to do, just thinking that maybe Lan Li could help.

So, Lan Li dialed the phone. In just two or three minutes, he had to come up with an excuse, and Lan Li was not only not flustered, but also calm, as if he had never answered Lucas's phone call, and really just invited Paul to the party.

However, if Matthew was here, he would inevitably roll his eyes - in London, all kinds of parties have participated, Arthur is a party king, Lan Li is handy and comfortable with any occasion, how can he need help. This is absolutely an open-eyed nonsense!

The problem is that even if it is blind, Lan Li's calmness still has a strong persuasive power. Roy and Nathan, who were standing next to them, were dumbfounded, if it weren't for Andy being next to him at this time and continuing to talk to Lucas, they would almost think that Lucas's phone call just now had never happened at all.

"Yes...... No...... I mean, I'm fine. Paul rubbed his temples, spoke incoherently, and let out a long exhale, "Party, afternoon party?" It was only two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was shining.

"Yes, the pool party in the afternoon. Lan Li nodded and confirmed, "I've heard before that for such a pool party, only the real big names can receive invitations. So, does that mean I'm a character now?"

Paul chuckled, "Are you sure you care about this?"

"I'm not sure, can I wait until I get back from the party? I'll judge based on how exciting the party is. Lan Li's words made Paul laugh again, "I'm in Santa Monica now, can you come and pick me up? "He needed Paul to get out of the office building at Universal Pictures.

“…… Blue Rite. Paul's heart was still a little heavy, he needed to tell Lan Li everything that had just happened, but he didn't know where to start and how to speak. "Not so long ago, something happened......"

"There's no way you can get here?"

"No, it's not. ”

"That couldn't be better. Come over and we'll see each other, okay?"

“…… Good. ”

"I'll see you later. ”

The phone hung up, Paul was a little dull, but he didn't have time to think, just put the phone aside, turned the key, turned the engine, and left the underground parking lot.

Looking at Lan Li who hung up the phone, Roy's expression was a little uncertain, "Lan Li, is it really okay? This is not an ordinary party, this is your audition." ”

"I know. Lan Li smiled and nodded, the clouds were light and breezy.
