"Do you know Lan Li?"

It's just an ordinary sentence, but it immediately forced Chris into a corner, with no way out, his mood is like a messed yarn ball, and he can't distinguish the thread at all, which is terrible.

He had completely forgotten about it, he had actually forgotten it! Before that, whether in public or private, he had never mentioned his relationship with Lan Li, and he didn't want to mention it.

Because in the past six months, Lan Li is so dazzling, so brilliant, so bright, like a dazzling sun, radiant, it seems that everyone is praising him, from Toronto to Sundance, from the Golden Globe Awards to the Oscars, from "buried alive" to "love crazy", step by step, gradually climbed to an unattainable height. nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, he actually received Oscar nominations that countless people have been tirelessly pursuing all their lives!

Chris didn't want to be reduced to a foil. Therefore, he refused to mention Lan Li, refused to let people know that he was Lan Li's former roommate, and even refused to admit that he had lived in New York. It's like a scar, bleeding and suppurating, scabbing over, and then never talking about it again.

What's even more absurd is that Lan Li was actually absent from the Oscars.

Some people can't ask for it, and some people abandon it, which reminds Chris of "Thor", everything is so familiar, and the pretentious, self-righteous appearance has never changed, making people gnash their teeth.

Now, in the midst of the panic, Chris uncovered the wound himself and exposed the secret, and the shame that burst out at that moment almost covered the anger and gnawed at the bones. Damn the Blue Rites. But Chris is no longer the rookie he was a year ago, and under Fisher-Morgan's tutelage, he's also well aware of how important a good public image is.

Brad Pitt, that's the development template Fisher chose for him.

"Ha, we used to be roommates for a while. Chris tried to keep his composure, trying to uncover the secret in a half-joking way, showing that he didn't care, but the surging emotions made his voice a little tense and his expression a little unnatural, and the effect was really unsatisfactory.

Elliot and Joey exchanged glances again, and surprise appeared in both of their eyes - the most high-profile blue gift in the past six months, and Chris, who will unveil the summer file next, are actually roommates......

"So, Lan Li did receive an offer from Thor?" Elliot couldn't wait to ask, he wasn't a kind Santa Claus, and he would never give Chris a chance to breathe.

"Yes, yes. Chris tried to prolong his coda and buy himself more time to think, but the shame and anger in his head were still bubbling like boiling water, and he couldn't calm down and think slowly, "He was invited, but he was not interested in the role, and he didn't even audition. Chris eagerly adds, "So, I don't know where the rumors came about." After Lan Li found out, he would definitely be entertained. ”

After saying that, Chris also laughed dryly twice, trying to liven up the atmosphere, but the effect looked really average.

Joey then asked, "So after Lan Li declined the invitation, did he recommend you to Kenneth?"

"No!" Chris's categorical words were urgent and intense, and those eyes couldn't help but widen, bursting with a fierce light, and you could even clearly see the anger between your eyebrows, blazing. "I completely relied on my own strength to win!

Such a violent answer startled Joey. Actually, Joey was just talking about it casually.

First, Kenneth's love of Shakespeare's plays is well known, and he would definitely be in favor of Lancet if he auditioned, and second, Lance and Chris are roommates, and it is taken for granted that there will be some communication between the two of them, especially if Lamley is not interested.

didn't expect it to trigger such an overreaction from Chris, which became even more intriguing.

"I mean, we don't talk much about work, and I haven't discussed the audition for Thor, and besides, Lan Li hasn't met Kenneth, so he hasn't had a chance to talk about it. Although Chris retracted his tone and half-jokingly resolved the extremism just now, it is obvious that whether others buy it or not, this is not something that Chris can control.

"Chris, 'Thor' will be released in the second week of May, and 'Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5', which Lan Li participated in, will also be released on the same schedule. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the first week of May. Have you talked to Lan Li about this?" Elliot keenly seized the moment, decisively abandoning the previous topic and throwing out another bait.

At this time, Elliot was quick to think, sensitive to smell, and quick to react, which was simply impressive. Joey, who was standing next to him, immediately understood Elliot's intentions, and couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up in his heart, but his eyes were motionless and locked on Chris, waiting for the big revelation.

"Well, no. Chris was still a little jerky, and when he was nervous, he couldn't help but have a big tongue, and the Australian accent came out again. In his mind, he was thinking about whether he should answer "yes" or "no", which answer was the right one, but there was not enough time for him to think deeply, so he could only follow the guidance of the first reaction, "We don't talk much about work, leave work in the office, don't we?"

Chris spreads his hands and reveals his trademark sunny smile in an attempt to show off his charm and thus win a brief breathing room.

But apparently, Elliot had no such intentions, and aggressively asked, "Then you haven't talked about this competition? The two works will be released one after the other, and there will inevitably be a showdown between Mars and Earth, who will win? What do you think?"

Chris opened his mouth to answer, but Elliot didn't stop, and continued to ramble on at length, "Recently, the upward momentum of Lan Li has been really remarkable, and even in order to concentrate on the performance, he was absent from the Oscars, and many people feel choked. Now, his latest movie is about to be released, and there are bound to be many people willing to cheer for it. What's more, there's Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, whom everyone loves. ”

The anger has never been extinguished, and now Eliot's words have added fuel to the fire. Chris opened his mouth again, ready to answer, but he still didn't find a gap, and only then did he utter a syllable, which was interrupted by Joey, "Relatively speaking, 'Thor' is only the beginning of the series, and under the many expectations, the whole crew is also under great pressure. As a newcomer, before 'Thor', the audience had limited knowledge of you. So, are you still confident enough at the box office?"

"Of course!" replied Chris without hesitation.

"Do you have confidence in defeating Lan Li?" said Elliot.

"Of course!" Impulse is the devil, and after destroying reason, it blurts out unstoppable and directly, and the burning anger almost burns out reason.

Damn Lan Li!The "Fast and Exciting/Emotional" series can't be put on the table at all, the first three works are completely "B-grade films", with average box office, average reputation, and average income, if it weren't for the fact that Universal Pictures is really not good at shooting sequels, and there is no series that can be handled, just change a company, this series should have ended as early as the second part.

This kind of work is not on the same level as "Thor", and there is no comparison between the two! Even Universal Pictures itself thinks so-

"Fast & Excitement/Love 5" chose the last week of April and the first week of May, and this year's April 29 is Friday, which also means that they chose the tail release of the spring file, avoiding the strong summer file, pinning their hopes on the weakness of competitors to accumulate more box office for the movie.

As the unveiling movie of the summer of 2011, Paramount has been promoting it one after another since December last year, and even bought the halftime show advertising time of the Super Bowl to create momentum for the movie.

Needless to say, this is the most advantageous charge of the year, and the major studios have avoided it, and Disney simply moved "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" to the fourth week of May, which made a relatively weak gap in the third week of May. The reason couldn't be more obvious, the industry has believed that the two consecutive championships of "Thor" are certain, and no one wants to face such an opponent head-on.

"Thor" crushes "Speed and Excitement 5", does this still need to be asked? Isn't it a fact that has been established a long time ago?

Elliot's eyes flashed with ecstasy, he succeeded! He succeeded in his goal, and if every artist cooperated in this way, he could buy a house in Burbank this year. But Elliot didn't relax, and pressed again, "So, do you think 'Thor' can easily beat 'Fast & Thrill 5'?"

Chris tried to breathe a sigh of relief, but Elliot didn't give him a chance at all, the ferocious fire in his chest kept burning, burning all his sanity, and before he could come to his senses, he blurted out the answer for the third time, "Of course!"

After finishing speaking, Chris finally sensed that something was wrong, he tried to explain, but his brain was blank, he couldn't turn for a while, he opened his mouth, and he didn't make a sound at all, so he could only pull the corners of his mouth and smile, hiding the tension of the scene.

"It's good, it's great to see you so confident. Elliot said with a smile, and then he turned and walked away, and just like that. Leaving together, there is also Joey.

Things changed so fast that in the blink of an eye, Chris was standing alone in place, watching the two paparazzi walk briskly and drift away.

After a gust of sea breeze blew and the sweat dried, Chris couldn't help but shiver, and then he reacted: What happened just now? What is going on? Where did the paparazzi's first question come from? What is wrong with the next question? What is all this about?

Lan Li, it must be Lan Li, malicious hype! Absolutely!
