256 The power of dismounting

Lan Li's brows also frowned slightly, looking at the empty parking lot in front of him, revealing a puzzled expression. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, it is already 8:20, and there are still ten minutes before today's start time, and it stands to reason that the entire parking lot should be full, and there may not even be a parking space, so you must park your car in the public parking lot at the back. But not only is it not full, but there is not even a single car, which is really abnormal, it can be said to be incredible.

Nathan panicked, he was caught off guard by such an unexpected situation, and he forced himself to calm down, but it was too difficult. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lan Li, noticing the confusion between Lan Li's eyebrows, fortunately, there was no anger.

"Confirm today's shooting information. Lan Li has experienced a huge crew like the "Pacific War", and is relatively experienced, and after a short period of chaos, he calmed down, opened the car door, and walked in the direction of the studio.

After being reminded, Nathan also reacted, quickly rummaged through the text message, and confirmed.

Standing at the gate of the studio, the huge iron gate always makes people feel small, in order to allow the tool cart to enter and exit smoothly, the door of the studio is always high and wide, only in the lower right corner there is a small iron door, allowing two people to pass side by side. In comparison, it's like a passage to the kingdom of adults.

Normally, this small door will be opened to make it easier for the staff to enter and exit, and when the official filming begins, it will be closed, and anyone who wants to enter must knock on the door, and the doorman guarding behind the door will open a space the size of a mail drop, check the identity of the visitor, and only let people in.

Now, the small door was tightly closed, Lan Li knocked hard, but did not hear any response, not even the slightest movement, and there was something strange everywhere. Are they in the wrong place?

"Lan Li, I just confirmed the text message, it is indeed half past eight, studio 23. Nathan pulled over to the side of the road for the time being, avoiding the way, then walked over briskly and said in a loud voice, "Then I called James-Currier and Julie-Irie, but neither of them answered, and I left a message explaining the situation, but it was ......."

Lan Li's composure succeeded in calming Nathan as well, and after he re-sorted his thoughts, he became organized. James and Julie are the two drama managers of the crew, each responsible for different work content, Nathan, as Lan Li's assistant, mainly deals with two people, and finding them for verification is the most direct and effective.

However, neither of them answered the phone.

In normal times, this is not unusual, because both of them are very busy at work, and it is not uncommon to miss calls. But today's situation is exceptional, and people have to think a little more.

Lan Li didn't rush to the conclusion, "Before leaving yesterday, James told you the time in person?"

"Yes. Nathan nodded repeatedly, for fear of making a mistake, he also specifically asked James to send a text message, and the language and text were confirmed. He didn't want to be fired again.

Lan Li felt in his pocket, took out his mobile phone, found Paul Walker's mobile phone number, and dialed it. It's not half past eight, and if it weren't for the shooting assignment, Paul might be on the move, but ......

"Good morning, Lan Li. Paul picked up the phone refreshedly, and greeted warmly in his sunny and refreshing voice, "Call me at this time, I'm about to have breakfast, do you want to join in?"

Lan Li could hear the lightness of Paul's words, there were only less than ten minutes left before the start of work, and Paul was still eating breakfast slowly? However, Lan Li was not in a hurry, but responded with a smile, "Are you sure it's Los Angeles time? Not New York time?"

Life in Los Angeles is always a bit slower, and it seems that meals are a little later than in New York. However, Lan Li's time here was too short, and perhaps it was just his own delusion.

However, Lan Li's teasing still made Paul laugh, "I didn't go surfing today, otherwise I would have had breakfast at half past nine." ”

"As soon as you hear it, you know that this is not the life of the elite. Lan Li's reply with a faint smile successfully triggered Paul's burst of laughter, and he said yes again and again.

One thing that both Los Angeles and New York have in common is that it's generally accepted that it's either the elite or the wealthy who can enjoy brunch because they can sleep unhurriedly and come out at about 10 or 10:30 to have a leisurely brunch with friends.

As a result, brunch restaurants and cafes in Los Angeles are always crowded, and young people who aspire to be actors pretend to have brunch and maybe meet a big director or producer.

After Paul's laughter calmed down a little, Lan Li naturally cut to the topic, "What time does today's shooting start?"

"Twelve. Paul didn't hesitate or have any doubts, and replied directly, "Today's main scene will continue until the evening, and there may be a need to go out on location and shoot night scenes, so I entered the crew at twelve o'clock, and used the lunch time to have a meeting to discuss it, and it will be officially put into shooting at about two o'clock in the afternoon, and it is estimated that it will be busy until the evening." ”

Twelve. That's the answer.

No wonder the parking lot will be empty! No wonder the studio will be empty! Obviously, someone wanted to teach Lan Li a good lesson, and deliberately gave the wrong start time, asking him to come to the studio three and a half hours early to standby.

These three and a half hours are really embarrassing, if he goes back now, it will take forty minutes to an hour to go back and forth, and it is the rush hour for work, and it is not impossible to spend two hours if he is unlucky to get stuck in the car formation, but if he chooses to stay, three and a half hours will be here to stare dryly, and it will be boring to the point of mold.

This trick is really clever and harmless, even if Lan Li protested through his agent, but the three-and-a-half-hour waiting time was not painful, and Andy had no way to put pressure on the crew;

"What's the matter?

Every day the crew starts differently, and after the shooting schedule comes out, the assistant will go to the crew to check on the situation and make sure that their actors are ready for the next day's work.

"It's okay, just reconfirming with you. Lan Li shook his head with a smile and exchanged pleasantries with Paul before hanging up.

Nathan, who was standing next to him, had already reacted at this time. Yesterday, it was not he who went to the crew to get the itinerary, but James, one of the leaders of the crew, came to him in person to explain the itinerary. Nathan also thought that it was because the crew attached great importance to Lan Li and gave him the treatment of the third protagonist, and today was Lan Li's first appearance, so he naturally needed to be more cautious, so James came over to explain in detail to make sure that there would be no mistakes.

But now it seems that this is a trap, and someone deliberately wants to give Lan Li a disadvantage.

"Lan Li, I'm sorry......" Nathan panicked again, feeling extremely guilty, this is all his fault, if he is careful, don't take it for granted, and repeat and confirm a few times, then today's accident can be avoided. As an assistant, that's his responsibility, and he has no room for excuses.

Lan Li didn't laugh angrily, the corners of his mouth went up, and he patted Nathan's arm, "You must know that if they have the intention to fool you, you will not be able to see through it." ”

When he was in the crew of "Pacific War" before, Lan Li already knew the truth that little ghosts are difficult. If the staff has the intention to make things difficult for an actor, they don't need much power, they only need to work on some small details to make the actor miserable.

To take an extreme example, if a staff member deliberately blocked the toilet in Brad Pitt's entourage and then spread rumors that Brad was constipated. Then Brad is really at a loss for words, this kind of rumor cannot cause substantial harm, at most it is just an after-dinner conversation, but it has absolutely no positive impact on Brad's image.

The same is true today.

Nathan was just a little assistant, and he confirmed the time verbally and textually, and double-confirmed through James and Julie, and he had no reason to be suspicious. James and Julie didn't answer the phone just now, judging from this move, it can be known that they are trying to let Lan Li learn a lesson, so Lan Li really has nowhere to escape.

Lan Li's comfort not only did not make Nathan breathe a sigh of relief, but became more and more guilty. He understood the reason, but he still couldn't swallow this breath, why would anyone want to target Lan Li? Lan Li had never offended anyone!

"Who the hell is it! Could it be James?" Nathan only felt that his head was full of question marks, and he couldn't figure out who was fighting against Lan Li. Is today's accident just a small prank, or the beginning of a bad life later?

A figure flashed in Lan Li's mind, nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "Yes, who is it?" This is also the thing he is most curious about now.

He is not a soft persimmon, he ate this mouthful of coptis today, he can't say the bitterness, he will firmly close his mouth, but it doesn't mean that he won't fight back.

"So what do we do now?" Nathan scratched his head irritably, walking back and forth, looking at Lan Li eagerly, as if he was ready to fight back.

But Lan Li gave a different understanding, "Wait, let's wait here." "How to investigate, how to respond, and how to punish the mastermind behind the scenes, this is not what Lan Li needs to worry about for the time being, but today's shooting task is more important. "Bring me the script, I'll read it. ”

"Lan Li!" Nathan didn't expect Lan Li's response at all, and shouted in frustration.

Lan Li smiled dumbly, shook his head slightly, and repeated again, "Script!"
