As he spoke, Paul suddenly laughed, "You know, I made a movie before, and Jessica Alba and I were in the Bahamas for almost three months, and we really learned to dive, starting from scratch, and then going deep into the ocean and exploring that unknown world. After the normal shooting every day, I went out into the sea with the diving instructor, always for a short while. The words stopped at this point, and did not continue, and the gradually deepening eyes were full of stories.

Paul scratched his head, chuckled twice, and shy about his wandering, retracting his attention, "And you can make a lot of friends, Toby, Reese, Claire, Kate...... We were all the same actors, and at that time we didn't have much grades, occasionally playing tricks in TV shows, swaying along Santa Monica Boulevard at night, and shouting excitedly when we got audition calls......"

Words from Tony Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, Claire Denis, Kate...... There are too many Kates in Hollywood to tell for a while, but their group of actors are of similar age, except for Leonardo DiCaprio, who became famous at a young age, and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck of the "Boston Gang", including Ethan Hawke, Denise Richards (Denise-Richards), etc., are the same people who play together. A representative demographic of "Generation X".

"It was a good old age. Of course, it still is. Paul woke up from his own memories, and it can be seen that Paul is very pure, and it is precisely this purity that has allowed him to roll in Hollywood for nearly 20 years, but he has never been tainted with any vices. "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly remember to ask me this question?"

Everything that needs to be said has already been said, and it is only now that I remember the beginning of the problem. A smile appeared in Lan Li's eyes.

"No, I just want to say that everyone has something they aspire to. For some, it may be honey, but for others, it may be arsenic. Lan Li said lightly, "It's like this time." For Fan, power and reputation are more important, for you, it is more important to enjoy the process of work, and for me, it is most important to devote yourself to the world of being an actor. ”

"It's not a criticism or a judgment, it's just that everyone's pursuit is different. Lan Li looked at Paul, who was confused and puzzled, and his smile rose a little, "I mean, starring in the 'Fast and Exciting' series, the most important meaning for me is to experience the speed and excitement of a commercial movie." Experienced, that's enough. If I can star in a sequel, I'd be happy to continue working with you, but if not, I won't feel embarrassed, and if we don't continue to work together, we'll no longer be friends?"

If you miss the "evil boss", Lan Li will regret it, but if you miss "Love is crazy", Lan Li will be sad, and if you miss "speed and excitement/emotion", Lan Li is dispensable. In the final analysis, it is a matter of personal preferences and personal trade-offs.

Paul pondered for a moment, chewed on Lan Li's words carefully, and said with hesitation between his eyebrows, "You mean, you don't care about Fan's little movements?"

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders slightly, a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he looked away, looked straight ahead, and slowly enjoyed his coffee, "This is the coffee from the mobile food truck? Jesus Christ, their coffee beans are really good." Lan Li pretended to exaggerate and sighed.

The corners of Paul's mouth, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but curl up, his eyes stopped on Lan Li's face for two seconds, and then he laughed involuntarily, shaking his head gently, a little helpless, but a little relaxed, but it was undeniable that his mood brightened up like this, and all anger and irritability quietly disappeared.

Paul also turned his head and looked straight ahead quietly, "I was still thinking of threatening Neil and Michael through my agent to advance and retreat with you, and if they don't meet your conditions, then I will quit filming the sequel to 'Fast & Furious/Emotional', but ......"

"What, do you feel lost now?" Lan Li took over and teased, making Paul laugh again, "Isn't it because you like racing cars? Next time, we will have the opportunity to go diving in the sea together? ”

As the gloom cleared, Paul finally regained his usual sunshine, "How do you know I like racing? I don't remember mentioning it." ”

Lan Li couldn't help but be stunned. Paul loves racing, and this was a magazine interview he saw in his last life, when Paul Walker had passed away in a car accident and the world was mourning his passing. How ironic, how ridiculous, a man who loves racing, a man who is famous for drag racing movies, but dies because of his friend's car speeding, like an absurd comedy.

Thinking of this, Lan Li's mind couldn't help but be confused.

When I met Paul before, Lan Li didn't particularly care, first, it was just a meeting in the water, second, everyone's life ended in death, and third, he didn't have a savior complex, he couldn't save everyone, and there was no way to save everyone, he wasn't God.

Therefore, even though he knew that Paul was sitting in the passenger seat when he was traveling with friends on November 30, 2013, but because the car was speeding out of control, which led to the death of a car accident and untimely death, Lan Li did not treat him differently and still intersected as equals.

But now, "Paul Walker" is no longer a name in the news media, nor a character on a movie screen, but a real person in real life, a friend of Ranley Hall, a real friend. The sudden fact slammed into him, making Lan Li a little overwhelmed.

He remembered Heather Cross.

But the difference is that Heather was grabbed by the throat by fate, and unless medical treatment can advance by leaps and bounds in the next few years to find a new cure, they can only stand by and watch Heather step by step towards the end of his life, and Paul is because of an accident, a man-made accident that can be avoided, prevented, and undone, so can he save Paul?

"Lan Li, Lan Li, Yo Roar?" Paul reached out and waved in front of Lan Li's eyes, calling the distracted Lan Li back, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly in a daze?"

Looking at Paul in front of him again, the tip of Lan Li's tongue couldn't help but feel bitter. Life and death, this is the eternal proposition of human beings, and no one can escape it. Even if you live again, it will still be the same. Isn't he too stupid? Faced with the subject of life and death, he can deal with it calmly, but he will never be able to learn it.

"No, I just remember, the ocean and racing, those are the two most important things in your life. Wait, and Meadow. Meado-Rain, Paul's daughter, now lives in Hawaii, which is why Paul often travels to Hawaii to surf.

Lan Li's teasing made Paul chuckle, not noticing the flash of worry in Lan Li's eyes. "I mean, leave the sequel negotiations to the agent. We're still acting honestly. "Lan Li is back to his usual calm, and 2013 is still two years away, isn't it?" ”

The complaint made Paul laugh out loud, "Facts, this is facts. I think you were born to be an actor, and you should be an actor!"

"I think so too. Lan Li nodded earnestly and calmly accepted the praise. Paul's cheerful laughter startled the sparrows in the treetops, and the sound of wings fluttering was so hilarious.

"Lan Li, there are five minutes left in the break. Nathan ran over quickly and smiled apologetically at Paul, "Well, do you need to read the script?"

"It's always easy to lose track of time when chatting, so I won't bother you. Knowing Lan Li's habits, Paul took the initiative to stand up and motioned for Lan Li to leave space.

Lan Li was not polite, "What about you? leave now, if you stay, we can go to the pioneer village for a drink in the evening." ”

"Can you?" This is not Paul's first time visiting the class, the last time he was in the crew of "Me Fighting Cancer", Lan Li's state was really bad, he didn't have time to meet Lan Li at all, and left directly. Even in the "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" crew, after the filming is over, Lan Li will not enjoy the nightlife, at most just play the guitar, drink a bottle of beer or read a book at the accommodation, relax a little, and will not go to the city bar for a night of party when they are tired, like Fan and them.

"A bottle of beer, no problem. Lan Li said with a smile. The state of the "detached" performance is different, closer to the West End or Broadway model, where the performance ends each day, simply relaxes, and then continues to prepare for the next day's scene. There is no problem with that.

Paul snapped his fingers, "That's it." I'm going to watch your show with the others, come on!" Paul smiled and took two steps back, then walked in the direction of the crew.

Lan Li raised his voice and said, "Thank you for the coffee." I'll remember to visit next time. ”

"Twice, you owe me two visits. Paul raised his right hand, made a "2" gesture, and proclaimed loudly.

The "Detached" crew soon returned to filming, and Lan Li's performance status was not affected too much, and the performance was still at hand. However, Tony still asked for a lot, he was very satisfied with Lan Li's performance, constantly capturing shots from different angles, trying to arrange and combine more lens languages in his mind, and the shooting process has been smooth, but the progress has never been fast.

Fortunately, Lan Li and Tony were not in a hurry, calmed down and polished slowly.

The day's shooting ended at six o'clock in the evening, and Ranley and Paul had a meal together, then sat in the pioneer village for two hours and chatted for a long time. Before ten o'clock in the evening, the two men left the bar. After all, Lan Li is still filming. As actors, they get a lot, and they must also pay a lot, just thinking about getting something for nothing can't last long in any industry, and the same is true for Hollywood.
