Mei Duo stood in place, secretly looking at Lan Li, her heart beating like a drum. It's not a crush or a heartbeat, it's a novelty. She knew her father was a Hollywood actor, and she knew that Los Angeles was a city full of stars, but before today, it didn't feel real, until now.

Lan Li stood in front of him like this, talking and laughing, the curvature of the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised, like a dream, but so real. "Lan Li, are you really Dad's friend?" Mei Duo asked abruptly, blinking.

Lan Li didn't quite understand the meaning of the question, but replied, "Yes, at least that's what I think. With that, he chuckled and looked at Paul inquiringly.

Paul reacted and laughed innocently, "Meadow, I'm not as old as you think. ”

Mei Duo muttered, "But my mother said that when you gave birth to me, you were more than twenty years old." ”

Looking at the embarrassed Paul, and then at the confused Mei Duo, Lan Li didn't hold back after all, he sneered and laughed, the hearty laughter echoed in the temporary parking lot, meeting the eyes of the father and daughter, the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth never disappeared, "Mei Duo, yes, I am your father's friend, I always believe that age is not an important indicator of friendship." If you don't mind, I can be your guide in New York, and maybe, we can be friends too. ”

In this way, the generations are messed up.

In fact, Lan Li didn't mind Mei Duo calling her uncle, after all, the soul of the two worlds was already extremely old. However, Lan Li could feel that Meadow didn't know how to communicate with Paul, and Paul didn't know how to get along with Meadow. When they were in Hawaii, Meadow's mother, Rebecca, was supposed to be the bridge between them, but now in Los Angeles, Rebecca is not. Obviously, the "twenty-one-year-old" Lan Li seems to be easier for Mei Duo to get close to, so Lan Li doesn't mind being this bridge.

Paul coughed lightly twice and glared at Lan Li depressedly, "I'm not as old as you think!"

As a result, Lan Li looked at Mei Duo, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, such a simple action contained too many meanings, Mei Duo laughed without holding back, even if he covered his mouth with his right hand, he still couldn't stop it.

Paul drooped his chin and sighed, then reluctantly lifted his luggage, "I'll put it in the trunk." ”

Lan Li's eyes were full of smiles, and when he saw Paul's action, he stopped his movements with a voice, and met Paul's puzzled look, Lan Li restrained his smile and explained, "Have you forgotten? The van you just called should be about to arrive." ”

Not only did Paul not react, but he was even more confused, and Lan Li had to continue to explain, "Let's follow the plan, after a while, you put your luggage in my car, and I'll drive the car back; ”

Paul's car today is a Ferrari roadster with only two seats. Not to mention that there are three of them now, and Meadow still has carry-on luggage, and the sports car will definitely not fit down, not to mention, Paul can't drive because of drinking, Meadow doesn't have a driver's license yet, and only Lan Li can drive alone. It's a tricky situation.

On the way to the airport, Paul chattered and panicked, while Lan Li silently completed the idea and plan in advance. When Paul entered the terminal to look for Meadow, Lan Li called to complete the reservation and arranged the itinerary of the tour simply. Still, Lan Li gave the credit to Paul.

Paul and Meadow, two fathers and daughters, need time to get along with each other, their own time. Los Angeles is the city Paul is most familiar with, and Meadow is full of curiosity about this strange land, and visiting the city is undoubtedly the best common topic between them.

Sure enough, Mei Duo immediately began to get excited, and his steps couldn't help jumping lightly, but Paul was still stunned, he understood what Lan Li meant, and also noticed Mei Duo's expression, scratched his head helplessly, and could only stumble and nod in affirmation, "Well, if you're not tired, let's go for a tour first." ”

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired!" Mei Duo jumped twice excitedly, and the youthful vitality of the thirteen-year-old finally burst into its original color.

Even with it, the smile on the corner of Paul's mouth rose, and after a moment of hesitation, he raised his chin and gestured to Lan Li, "Thank you Lan Li." He arranged all of this, and I was drunk this afternoon, and my head was foggy, and I didn't know how to arrange it. ”

Looking at Paul who was so sincere, Lan Li was dumbfounded and helpless.

"Thank you!" Meadow shouted, then looked at Paul, a smile in her eyes. She also knew that if it wasn't for her father, how could Lan Li arrange this.

As he spoke, an elongated black van slowly stopped in front of the temporary parking lot, Mei Duo covered her mouth in disbelief, her face was full of surprise, and she stared at Lan Li with wide eyes, and then saw Lan Li raise her hand to greet each other, and at the same time smiled and nodded in affirmation, Mei Duo jumped up directly, "Yay!"

But Meadow was still not in a hurry, but kept jumping in place, "Daddy?" After getting Paul's affirmative answer, she opened the car door and ran up as soon as she slipped into the smoke.

"Lan Li. Paul was utterly exhausted, and looked at Lan Li, not knowing what to say.

Lan Li chuckled, "Hurry up and go up, you can't stop here for too long." My driver and I arranged an easy route, a classic tour of Los Angeles. You can discuss it with the driver again, and if there is any situation, just tell the driver directly, they specialize in local in-depth tour routes. ”

Paul stepped forward and hugged Lan Li hard, for a long time, and he was unwilling to let go. This made Lan Li shake his head helplessly, "Paul, you know I don't like hugs. ”

Paul was amused, "I know. But the hug still didn't let go, and he whispered, "Thank you." Then there was no mother-in-law, turned around and walked quickly onto the van, and the car started slowly and merged into the traffic.

Suddenly, the sunroof on the roof of the car opened, and Mei Duo came out, looked around, and then shouted, "Hoo, I'm in California!" The youthful gesture seemed to finally break the unfamiliar barrier, quietly revealing its original appearance, and making the corners of the viewer's mouth rise involuntarily.

Lan Li put Paul's luggage in the passenger seat, returned to the car, and suddenly one thing flashed in his mind, a very important thing, "Dinner." He forgot to ask the van driver about dinner arrangements.

Los Angeles is also a big city, a truly top-notch restaurant, and you can't find a spot without making a reservation in advance. Meadow appeared suddenly, and Paul must have had no time to arrange it, and he had forgotten. Sure enough, he is still not good at arranging this kind of thing, and he is always lost.

But the idea lingered in my head for a moment, and then I was left behind. Paul can always find a way to fix it, and if it doesn't, buy a burger and sit on the pier in Santa Monica and watch the sunset and the sea breeze blow, and that's what makes it a wonderful dinner, and that's the beauty of Los Angeles.

Afterwards, Lan Li drove back to Paul's house. Nathan and Roy, who had received Lan Li's call earlier, were already waiting at Paul's door, Lan Li found the key in the flower pot, Nathan and Roy helped carry the luggage into the hall, and then parked the car at the garage door downstairs, which was the end of all the work.

After that, the three of them got into Nathan's SUV and headed towards the airport.

Lan Li takes a 7 p.m. flight to San Diego, where there are two events in the evening, one to watch "Love Crazy" with fans and the other to broadcast live on the local radio station.

None of these trips are necessary, and the budget for "Love Crazy" is limited, and the promotional itinerary is not so tight. But Andy still deliberately arranged it so intensively, even with some feet on the ground, ostensibly to promote "Love is crazy", and the real purpose is to cover up the audition of "Edge of Tomorrow", and at the same time operate the follow-up of "Speed and Excitement/Love".

Michael and Fan always thought they knew everything about Lan Li's actions, but everything was just an illusion.

After a short time after getting into the car, Roy's mobile phone rang, Roy looked at the caller ID and handed the phone to Lan Li, "This is the third one." What the hell is going on?" is Andy's call.

"Well, I took it. Lan Li said lightly, as a result, Nathan and Roy were both frightened - although they were both looking forward to such a result, but in the past period, seven auditions before and after were really too long and cumbersome, and they also expected that Warner Bros. did not pay attention to the project internally, and was not optimistic about its prospects, so it was slow to advance. Now, all of a sudden, I was caught off guard by joy.

Lan Li took the phone and told Andy the whole situation on the phone, including the simple process of the audition, as well as the discussion about the director and the script later.

Andy pondered for a moment, "Who did you recommend?" Lan Li told Andy the list of directors he recommended, "Regarding the producer and screenwriter, Jeff didn't mention it for the time being, right? Okay, I know, I'll leave the rest to me." In just two days, I'll give you a list of who you want to work with, and maybe Warner Bros. will ask for your opinion later. ”

What innovative artist agencies are best at is packaging cooperation, packaging actors, directors, screenwriters and other positions into a project and cooperating with film companies. Thanks to their unique institutional structure, this capability is well-deserved in the top spot in the industry.

"My opinion?" Lan Li is not surprised to pack and cooperate, but unexpectedly at this.

Andy chuckled, "Lan Li, the reason why I chose Warner Bros. is because they are atmospheric enough. Trust me, they'll be pleasantly surprised. ”
