1266 Plan ahead
"Lan Li?" Paul's voice came from his ears, interrupting Lan Li's train of thought, and he said with a worried look on his face, and half-jokingly quipped, "Did you wake up too early this morning?
All the work on the "Norton Show" is finally over. Ed, Daniel, Robbie, and others all left the studio, leaving space for the upcoming "Superman: Man of Steel" crew, however, neither Russell Crowe nor Kevin Costner had yet to arrive on set, and now Henry Cavill was alone in the waiting room.
Lancet and Paul both left.
As for Diesel, after entering the studio, he seemed to disappear completely, no one knew why he came, and no one knew how things had resolved, and the calm and calm revealed an abnormality.
Looking at Paul in front of him, it could be seen that his mood was slightly affected, but on the whole he was still positive, and he didn't know anything about Diesel's purpose, which made Lan Li sigh lightly in his heart, ponder for a moment, and then said solemnly, "I'm thinking about Vin Diesel." ”
Lan Li didn't intend to hide his concerns, but talked to Paul straight to the point, "Do you know what he's planning?"
Paul frowned slightly, "I don't know. All this time has passed, and everything has been fine. ”
Okay.
Lan Li laughed dumbly, "Paul, are you sure?"
Paul thought about it seriously, "I mean, there is always conflict, he and Dawn are both tough types, and both of them are used to talking with their fists, and there will inevitably be quarrels and accidents in the process of cooperation, but overall, nothing big happens." At least the two didn't get into a big fight. Paul didn't forget to cast a glance at Lan Li, revealing a mocking look.
"What about Jason?"
"Jason?" Paul blinked, "Jason is a good-natured guy, he doesn't have any situation, we get along just fine." This afternoon, I made an agreement with Jason that he would take me on a tour of London, and he knew some speakeasies, and there were underground circuits, and we were going to go and have a look. How about you, would you like to come along?"
As expected, intrigue was not Paul's forte.
Lan Li showed a helpless smile, "Paul, have you noticed why Fan and Dawn are arguing, and what is Jason's attitude when they are arguing?"
Paul's brows furrowed slightly, and he slowly thought about the topic of Lan Li, "It's all for shooting." Paul affirmed.
In this shooting, Fan suffered some minor injuries, and most of the scenes were played by stand-ins, including a few close-up scenes, he also insisted on using a stand-in, and then went on the stage at the last moment to complete the close-up shooting. For this reason, there was a quarrel within the crew, but everything was for filming, Jason didn't say anything special, just got closer to Dawn in private, but it was also normal, he and Dawn entered the crew together. ”
Lan Li was a little surprised.
When filming "Fast & Furious 5", aside from the personal conflict between him and Diesel, but in terms of work commitment, Diesel always gave his best and did not slack off, so what happened this time, was he really injured? or ...... The big names are up?
When you think about it, it seems to make sense. As Diesel's career gradually reached an impasse, the importance of the "Fast and Thrilling/Emotional" series has also skyrocketed, which is a set of works that define Diesel's status in the industry, and the control of interests, power, and status is naturally becoming more and more intense.
"Paul. Fan is trying to evolve the series into his personal stage, branding it as his own. Lan Li didn't hide it, nor did he continue to go around in circles, and said bluntly, "The contradiction between me and him back then has now continued to Dawn, and not only that, Jason has also chosen Dawn to stand in line." ”
Paul opened his mouth slightly, a look of surprise, but this time, he didn't refute.
Paul is not good at intrigues, but he doesn't understand or understand, just because he doesn't want to. Reputation, power, and interests, which are vital to others, have never been so important to him.
It is always said that what kind of eyes can see what kind of world, in the pure eyes of a child, everything in the world is beautiful, even if it is lightning and thunder, it may only be that he is disobedient, God is angry, and he is giving him a lesson, and in those dark eyes, the world is full of evil, ugliness and filth.
Paul is an adult, who has been rolling in the big dye vat of Hollywood for nearly 20 years, he understands good and evil, he knows black and white, and he understands the cruelty of Vanity Fair, but he doesn't like to always associate people and things in a negative direction, he doesn't maliciously speculate about the actions and purposes of others, and he doesn't preset a position and push everything to the negative extreme until the truth is revealed.
Now, after Lan Li's reminder, Paul couldn't help frowning slightly, and the depths of his eyes revealed incredulity, "Why? Why can't he be content? You have left the crew, what else does he want? Dawn and Jason also leave the crew? Does that mean that he wants me to leave the crew as well?"
Lan Li smiled silently.
Paul froze in place, his words stuck in his throat, and his eyes showed a clear realization - today's events and last night's chaos, all of which were reasonably explained:
Diesel is trying to prove his presence. In order to fight against Lan Li, and in order to show his authority, he has an irreplaceable sense of absolute presence in the "Fast and Exciting/Emotional" crew, and even for this reason, he did not hesitate to conflict with the "Norton Show" program team.
Diesel wasn't an impulsive recklessman, but this time, he was impulsive. Or rather, it was an impulsive act with a plan and purpose.
Paul scratched his head in exhalation and let out a long breath, and asked in frustration, "Why can't he just enjoy this work? Why can't we remember these beautiful moments when so many interesting things happened during the filming of this work?
Lan Li did not answer.
Because he believed that Paul knew the answer. The problem is that the human heart is the most elusive thing, and one "greed" is enough to destroy countless good things, not to mention that human desires/desires are not only greedy.
"Paul, you need to be alert. Lan Li said euphemistically.
Paul tried to say something, but the words came to his lips and he still couldn't get them out.
He did not want to be divided, nor did he want infighting, nor did he want to disappear and be destroyed. Even after all the ups and downs, he still firmly believes that Diesel is an integral part of the entire series, just like every other actor who participates. He understood what Lan Li meant, but he couldn't respond.
Lan Li sighed lightly again in his heart.
Character is fateful, and this is true for everyone, and Diesel and Paul are no exception.
Diesel is trying to be the person in charge of the "Fast & Thrill" series, just like Tom Cruise is to the "Mission Impossible" series, if there is an opportunity to kick Paul out of the crew, he will definitely not be relentless, but Paul can't do it, deep down, he still treats the series as a big family, there are quarrels and disagreements, but they are still a family after all.
Although Lancet worries about Paul, he can't make decisions for Paul.
"Paul, I don't need you to make a decision now, I just want you to be alert. It's not the first time, and trust me, it won't be the last either. Lan Li said earnestly.
Paul's mind conjured up the brief encounter in the waiting room today, and Diesel's eyes were full of sharp aggression, not even hiding the sharpness of his heart. He didn't think much about it before, and thought that Diesel was losing his temper again because he had come to cheer for Lan Li, but now it seems that things are not so simple.
"I see. Paul nodded his head in understanding, then showed a wry smile, looked at Lan Li, and said to himself, "If I lose my job one day in the future, I will start a lesson in Santa Monica Beach to teach surfing, and I won't starve to death." ”
Lan Li smiled dumbly and shook his head slightly, "If this day really comes, I will be your spokesperson for free." ”
Paul burst out laughing, "That's what you said!" Nathan and Roy both heard it, they were the best witnesses. ”
Nathan, who was sitting in the front row, exchanged glances with Roy, pretending that he didn't exist, but now he couldn't pretend anymore, Roy chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll record it on Lan Li's work calendar early." ”
Escorting Paul back to his hotel, Nathan drove slowly out of the hotel in the direction of Notting Hill.
"Lan Li, are you really just letting it go?" Nathan still couldn't hold back, and asked urgently, "Vin Diesel is a bastard, Paul is thinking about him, but he never thought about Paul's feelings! If he really had a big heart, you wouldn't have quit filming the sequel in the first place." ”
Nathan's righteous indignation made Lan Li chuckle, "I'm not an angel, Nathan. ”
The cooperation of "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 6" could not be carried out, Diesel is responsible, he himself is also responsible, objectively speaking, all the problems cannot be simply and rudely blamed on Diesel .
As he himself said, he is not an angel.
However, this sentence is used here, it is a pun, and it also implies another meaning, Lan Li took out his mobile phone, dialed a phone number, the mobile phone rang for a while, and then Andy's lazy and irritable voice came, "Lan Li, you had better be in a hurry, otherwise I will explode now." ”
