1749 Replanned
Paul was still worried about Lan Li.
During the period after the car accident, Paul quietly remembered Lan Li's dedication and persistence, Lan Li's words and actions, and all of them. A "thank you" is simply not enough to express his true feelings.
Now, Lan Li is facing Diesel head-on again. He knows all those truths: the contradiction between Lan Li and Diesel is not a matter of one or two days, and it is not entirely because of him, Lan Li's current status in the industry is not small, but Diesel is the one who has the upper hand...... And so on and so forth, but he still couldn't control his worries.
He doesn't want Lan Li to change his original intention for the sake of a Diesel, the moment when Lan Li is shining is still the moment when he stands on the stage and in front of the camera to put into the performance, instead of carefully calculating for the sake of profit and power like Diesel, and in the end it is just a link on the commodity assembly line that can be replaced at any time.
"A mad dog will only go mad when hope is completely extinguished, but if there is a glimmer of hope and he keeps working hard, he will never cut off the way back. Vin Diesel, he's not going to tear the mask completely. After a brief pause, Lan Li added, "He doesn't have the courage and courage to do so. ”
Paul carefully looked at the blue ceremony in front of him, still elegant and indifferent, but that kind of awe-inspiring temperament began to surge like a dark tide, he couldn't help but exclaim, rubbing his arm again and again, "Jesus Christ, your eyes are really too terrible and sharp! Remind me, please be sure not to provoke you! Look at you, goosebumps are rising!"
As he spoke, Paul also showed his hands to Lan Li, and said with a face full of grievances, "It's really scary." "Those exaggerated movements and expressions are completely a living treasure.
The smile in Lan Li's eyes resurfaced, "What, do you have something that will offend me?"
"Even if I had, I wouldn't dare now!" Paul immediately raised his hands and obediently made a gesture of surrender, "You see, how friendly and harmless I am, don't I?
Lan Li said calmly, "I really should let Mei Duo see what you look like." ”
Immediately, Paul stiffened.
"Hey, he's waited for it after all!" Lan Li's attention returned to the surfing show, and the contestant who had been waiting for the big wave finally waited for the tubular wave he was expecting, and then completed his race in one fell swoop, winning thunderous applause from the audience.
Paul couldn't help but let out an exclamation, watched the replay of the whole surfing process carefully, and then couldn't help but give his own applause to express his appreciation.
When he came to his senses, Paul seemed much more at ease, "Don't you wonder what Michelle and Dawn told me?"
"Oh, what did you say?" Lan Li's gaze remained on the TV screen.
Paul spread his hands helplessly, "Would you like to react positively? ”
Lan Li nodded lightly and chuckled, "You have just said an outline, and it is not difficult to guess the specific content. It is probably to test the relationship between you and Fan, and then test your opinion of the crew, and may discuss some future sequel content, such as the direction of the script or characters, such as the distribution of role proportions, such as changes in the relationship between characters, and so on. Well, that's probably it. ”
Paul opened his mouth slightly, his surprise could not be concealed, and the only thought was, "How do you know?"
Lan Li didn't have a special change in expression, "Because that's what they care about." If they become producers, they will inevitably need box office dividends, and it is Fan's interests that are divided, not your interests, you have no reason to object, the point is that you will not care about the distribution of these interests, and the most direct impact on you is actually the issue of role distribution. ”
Although Paul never said it or fought for it, with the advancement of the "Fast and Thrill/Emotional" series, his roles became less and less, especially the drag racing scenes, he was actually a little disappointed After all, he is a racing fanatic, and most of the salary income over the years has been used to collect famous cars.
If he could rewrite the script for the follow-up series of "Fast & Thrill", Paul would have wanted to be more involved in drag racing. Considering the recent traffic accident, his mother, siblings, and Meadow will inevitably keep an eye on him, and he will not dare to go crazy again casually, so he can only have a good time in the movie.
Michelle Rodriguez is a smart person, she has known Paul for so many years, and naturally she knows Paul, and it is not unusual for her to be able to accurately grasp the lifeline, and it also shows that she is indeed trying to run the situation for herself, and now that the opportunity arises, she immediately seizes it.
Dwayne Johnson was a bit surprised. Dawn is not stupid, but he is not shrewd, his boldness and straightforwardness are not protective colors, but real character, and at the same time, he has become the key to opening the situation for both him in the field of sports and Hollywood, and now facing Paul, he can quickly adjust his state, and it seems that he has gradually mastered the rules of Hollywood, when "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5", he was not so smart.
Paul blinked, then ...... After blinking again, he could only raise his hands in surrender, "Okay, okay, that's pretty much it." How do you think I should respond?"
"Just respond as you think. Lan Li said lightly.
Paul was still confused.
Lan Li laughed inexplicably, "I know now what Matthew thinks when he sees me." Paul was even more confused, completely unaware of what Lan Li meant, and Lan Li had no intention of explaining, but returned to the topic.
"If you want to stay in the crew, then Michelle and Dawn will become the reinforcements to contain Fan, and the power of the whole crew will gradually be balanced, and you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to the filming process; Dawn and they all dig up, leaving an empty shelf for Fan, and one is for you to challenge other genres to get rid of the shackles of the series and try more possibilities. ”
To put it mildly, Lan Li has put forward a different direction of development, but the disturbances hidden behind those words are really too informative, which makes people a little breathless.
Paul was missing a tendon for these intertwined relationships, and it was difficult to connect everything to the threads, but he could see the results," ...... There were so many options that I didn't get used to. Paul said truthfully, "It's like...... The whole world opened up before my eyes, full of countless possibilities. ”
Lan Litou agreed, "After this car accident, and also through Vin Diesel, I think you can replan your career as an actor." ”
"Do you mean, do I have a chance to win an Oscar?" Paul suddenly had an idea, and winked narrowly at Lan Li.
Lan Li opened his mouth, but the words still couldn't be said after all, which made Paul clap his hands happily and laugh, "Haha, it seems that our all-powerful Mr. Lan Li-Hall still has something to do." ”
Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips, "Why don't you change it to the Teen Choice Award?"
Paul laughed more and more, and then fell into his own thoughts, "To be honest, I haven't thought about my career as an actor for a long, long time. You know, it seems like everything has gone into a comfortable phase, and I just give up thinking about it......"
Paul paused, then smiled wryly.
"Look, if you don't think about it for too long, your head will rust. Life is so comfortable that when the unexpected happens, it becomes scrambling. Maybe it's time for me to think about my career plan. After all, Meadow is not yet an adult, and she is full of countless confusions about her future career and life, and I hope that I can be a role model to guide her to find the direction of her life. ”
Paul paused again, thought for a moment, and then looked at Lan Li, "What about you, if you have the chance, will you still participate in the filming of the follow-up series of 'Fast & Thrill'?"
"No, I won't. Lan Li gave an affirmative answer.
Although "Fast & Thrill" and "Jurassic Park" were bundled projects to force Universal Pictures to comply, Lan Li's attitude has always remained emotional, and there is no need for him to return to the "Fast & Thrill" series, which belongs to Paul, Dwayne, and Michelle.
"Remember the last time we mentioned the project, where we brainstormed our own ideas, created a script, and then created a film that was our own. We still have a lot of opportunities to work together, and there's no need to go back to the Fast & Thrill series, just make Luke Hobbs a memory. ”
Lan Li said in a dashing tone, but Paul sighed lightly, but then the smile rose again, "You mean, we can also collaborate on other films? ”
There are countless movies with two male protagonists in Hollywood, and there are really many that have become classics.
Lan Li showed a disgusted expression, "Such an old-fashioned script, are you sure you won't change it?"
"Haha, I'm not a screenwriter, so of course I don't have any good ideas. Paul didn't mind at all, and laughed heartily, "What about you? What are your plans for the next path as an actor?" Paul showed a playful smile, "I saw the news, this work is another big hit at Sundance, it seems that in the next period of time, the respected Mr. Lanley-Hall will start to be busy again." ”
"Actually, you're right. I'm going to be very, very busy for a while. Lan Li said meaningfully, but Paul was dumbfounded:
What did I just say? Did I stumble upon some secret?
