1011 Dumbfounded
Andy Rogers felt he needed to be quiet.
At this moment, the entire Los Angeles office is in disarray, a complete mess.
In less than an hour, more than 600 media outlets reprinted their reports, not just casual online news sources, but real regular news media. Starting with the United Kingdom, it spread to all of Europe, then to North America and Asia, and Oceania followed suit, a little slower, leaving only Africa and South America, which are less sensitive to entertainment news.
600 media outlets, this is just the beginning. As the hottest actor in Hollywood today, after a boiling first half of the year, "Edge of Tomorrow" is reaping the box office by riding the wind, and then breaking the news of such a blockbuster exclusive that it almost broke everyone's glasses.
Inquiries and interview calls from all over the world directly burst the phone line in Andy's office. The four extensions were still too busy, so much so that other agents of the innovative artist agency also became the first to be questioned. The mighty bustle is sweeping away in an unbelievable manner.
The fryer, this is the real meaning of the fryer.
Why? Does this still need a reason?
Take a look at those pundits in Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein, Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, ...... The list goes on endlessly, including the heads of the six major film companies, and even the directors of the companies.
Look at the film personalities in London, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Lawrence Oliver, Alfreddie Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, ...... Again, the list could go on and on, including even the previous prime ministers of the United Kingdom.
For them, the recognition of the royal family and the gift of the lord are not only the glory of a title, but also the promotion of class, which is the highest honor above Vanity Fair, like the medal on the chest of the soldiers, the real symbol of status and power, not money, nor awards, but the top one percent of the pyramid.
Hollywood, this is originally a vanity fair, and in this game of fame and fortune, the award of the title of nobility is the jewel in the crown, irreplaceable. Everybody yearns for it.
It is rumored that Harvey Weinstein has been working hard for ten years in order to be awarded the British royal family, but has not been able to do so. This year, the French officials announced that they will award Xavi the French Legion of Honor, which is a footstep, but there is still a long, long way to go before the true aristocratic circle is reached.
Now it is exclusively revealed that Lan Li-Hall's surname itself is from a noble background, with a deep heritage and a long history, not just a title, but a real aristocratic background. This is equivalent to breaking through the level with a plug-in, and before the game has even started, all players are already envious and their intestines ache.
This news storm has only just begun, and the aftermath is unpredictable.
Not to mention the media, even the innovative artist agency is full of jaw dislocation - among the top partners of the company, three people have called Andy to confirm the authenticity of the news, and the calls and text messages from the company's colleagues are even more numerous, Andy has no choice but to turn off his work mobile phone.
Even on Shabbat and Christmas, his phone never turned off.
But for now, Andy wants to be quiet.
Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath again, Andy told himself that he was just a nobleman, just a real traditional aristocratic family, just ...... "Damn!" Andy didn't hold back after all, blurted out, and the smile that had always hung on the corner of his mouth became helpless and empty at this time.
"Andy, is this true?" said Nathan Pree, as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat still extremely dry, nervously.
The smile in Andy's eyes was extremely bitter, "I also want to know the answer." ”
Roy Lockley, who was standing next to him, crossed his hands over his chest, was silent for a long time, making people strongly suspect that he was almost out of breath, and without warning, he suddenly burst out, "I know." Both Andy and Nathan looked at each other inexplicably, and Roy lifted it up, "I mean, I knew something wasn't right." The first time I saw him in the union, I thought he was different......"
As he spoke, Roy also spread his hands, "Forget it, it's an afterthought to say anything now." God, I suddenly felt that I had made a serious mistake in the way I looked at people. Involuntarily, Roy also slapped his forehead heavily, his face full of helplessness.
Nathan was completely stunned, "So, what should we do now?"
Andy spread his hands, "I also hope someone can tell me that this is the first actor from an aristocratic background that I have brought in." It was obviously a simple fact, but there was a sense of joy when he said it at this time, and Andy himself couldn't help laughing, "To be honest, now that everyone in the company is envious, who can work with the nobles so close except me?" ”
Looking back now, it's really interesting.
The questions that were once inexplicable have now been answered, and the puzzles that were once inexplicable are now easily solved. It's like solving an exam question, looking at the question, it's like a book from heaven, and I don't have a clue, but when the answer comes out, I suddenly realize, "Ah, I see, it's so simple." ”
"Andy, I heard that when you and Lan Li signed the contract, you looked back and forth, why?" Roy asked curiously.
Andy put his hands on his belly and patted it lightly, "I don't know, maybe Voldemort cast a spell on my brain, and then I saw something abnormal." Under such a joking ridicule, the atmosphere of consternation and panic quietly calmed down a little.
"Knock", there was a knock on the door, interrupting the conversation between Andy and the others, the door of the room was pushed open directly, and the staff probed in, "The recording of the show has come to an end for the time being, you can have five minutes, just five minutes." ”
Andy immediately made an "OK" gesture, "I know." Thank you, thank you very much. ”
Today, they came to Burbank to participate in the recording of "The Ellen Show" for the promotion of Edge of Tomorrow and for the promotion of the Heather Cross Foundation, Ellen DeJanis has always been passionate about philanthropy and wants to be able to contribute. Therefore, Lan Li came to record the show alone.
But during the recording of the program, in the afternoon in London and the morning in Los Angeles, the news of "Empire" magazine detonated the topic, and then it has spread overwhelmingly in just an hour, and now, the reporters still have not received official confirmation from Lan Li, even Andy and Roy are confused.
Suddenly, Andy had to communicate with the program team, there was a break in the middle of the program recording, and now they need this break to be slightly longer, and solve the problem internally first, determine the official position and the truth, and then put into the program recording again.
"Babble", the door of the waiting room was pushed open again, and Lan Li's figure appeared, "They told me that you have an urgent matter to discuss, what's wrong?"
Turning around, Lan Li saw three people standing in different positions with strange expressions: Andy crossed his hands together on his belly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little more playful, Roy tilted his head, up and down, up and down and cast a scary gaze, and Nathan opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, but he was frightened.
It's just that no one answered.
Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, and there were more and more question marks on his head, "Why do I feel an aura of going to court, is this the rhythm of 'Twelve Angry Men'?" A small joke that came easily, but no one cheered, Lan Li realized that it seemed that something really happened this time, so Lan Li's footsteps stopped by the sofa, and put his right hand in his pocket, "Okay, what's the matter, let's get to the point." ”
"Look, look!" Roy turned his head and exchanged glances with Andy. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if it's the case, now looking at Lan Li again, even a simple standing posture seems to be different, and that kind of restrained temperament is really eye-catching.
Andy also nodded in agreement, "Perhaps, those news are true." ”
Lan Li's brows frowned slightly, but he still didn't understand. However, Lan Li held his breath and did not ask, but quietly looked at the three people in front of him, waiting for them to reveal the mystery.
Silence, silence, the four of them stood in the waiting room and looked at each other, and finally Nathan was the first to hold back, gritted his teeth, and asked in a hurry, "Lan Li, Ned Mullan of 'Empire' magazine reported that you are from an aristocratic family and have a hereditary title, is this true?"
This was an unexpected answer.
Lan Li gently retracted her chin, revealing a meaningful expression, and commented calmly, "It's a little slower than I imagined." ”
When she decided to return to London's West End, she knew that secrets could not be kept in the dust forever, and it was only a matter of time before reporters uncovered the inside story, and in fact, Elph, Arthur and Edith knew this, so Edith made a big appearance at the premiere of Edge of Tomorrow.
However, this was still a little later than Lan Li expected. Originally, I thought that some time after the premiere night of "Les Miserables", the paparazzi of the "Sun News" who had been paying attention to gossip for 500 years might dig it out, but I didn't expect that more than a month had passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no movement at all.
"'Empire' magazine, you just said?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows again, a little surprised.
Nathan almost didn't fall directly: Please, isn't that the point?
Andy was stunned for a moment, finally digesting all the huge information, and then chuckled, "So, the news is true?"
Lan Li smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”
