Arthur didn't want to make a fuss, at least not in front of Lan Li, the usual ridicule and complaining are the same thing, but when he really encountered something, he restrained himself.

This was the first time Lan Li had formally asked for his help.

Although the matter of Sisyphus Pictures is not a day or two, Arthur also helped the company prepare the first start-up capital in Europe, and since then, the boundary between him and Lan Li has been broken, but at that time, it was through Andre, through Andy, through Matthew, and today it was Lan Li who personally called and sent a request.

Arthur's emotions were a little mixed.

It's not moving, it's not happy, it's ...... Sour, a heavy emotion slowly sinking in the stomach, it is difficult to accurately describe whether positive emotions prevail or negative emotions dominate, more like a synthesis, and the disturbing thoughts in my mind are surging up.

"When will it start, how long will it take to make a move?" Arthur hid his emotions properly, but responded with an increasingly serious attitude, completely devoid of his previous banter and mischievousness, but the slightly tense vocal cords still made him a little embarrassed - it was not easy to completely hide his emotions in front of Lan Li.

"It's best to have some movement within two weeks, no matter how big or small, as long as there is movement. Lan Li didn't seem to be aware of Arthur's anomaly at all, "After that, you discuss with Andre to see if you can slow down the pace appropriately, because we still don't need a direct injection of Wall Street funds for the time being." The rhythm is still up to you. ”

Lan Li knew that this was a very contradictory request:

On the one hand, they need to arouse the interest of Wall Street and knock on the mountain, on the other hand, they need not to arouse too much interest, they still need to keep their distance; on the one hand, they need to show enough strength to win the development space, on the other hand, they must not let Wall Street capital get too close, and at the same time make them think that Sisyphus Pictures lacks sincerity, and then think that they have been tricked.

This is a paradoxical solution. If it weren't for Thomas taking the initiative to provoke the war, Sisyphus Pictures would not have had to take such a risk, and the slightest carelessness might have disrupted the overall plan made before, and might even play with fire**.

But the problem is that Lan Li doesn't think Thomas will give up - not to mention, Sisyphus Pictures has gradually appeared in Hollywood's sights, and even if it avoids this time, it can't avoid the next one. Instead of waiting for the passive situation to be forced to fight back in the future, it is better to take advantage of the current situation to plan ahead of time, but you can win more advantages for yourself.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. Lan Li did not have a clear understanding of this, but Lan Li knew very well the way of the game of Go, when attacking, then it was necessary to lay out the whole situation, just hoping to kill the opponent's big dragon to end the chess game, this is an unrealistic idea, and the whole body can be moved, and those seemingly unimportant pieces can form a net of heaven and earth.

Now, Lan Li is going to light a torch in Thomas's backyard, although their battlefield is still on the front line, as long as Thomas's backyard is set on fire and he loses sight of one or the other, he can turn the current passive situation and regain the initiative. The game had just begun, and he wasn't ready to give up or run away, and now that Thomas had decided to go to war, he would be there for him!

When it comes to shopping malls, Arthur knows better than Lan Li, he pondered for a moment, and the thoughts in his mind have been sorted out an outline, but he still needs to discuss further with Andre, and the whole plan will gradually become clear, "I see." I'll take care of it. ”

After finishing the matter, just as Lan Li was about to hang up the phone, Arthur hesitated for a moment and asked with concern, "Lan Li, face to face with Thomas, are you okay?"

In fact, Arthur was worried about Lan Li's performance status, because he knew that those off-site disturbances were actually meaningless to Lan Li, and Lan Li's real concern was always acting work. Now that Thomas is upsetting Lan Li's work balance and has to be distracted to make a response plan, he is still a little worried.

But Arthur and Lan Li never mentioned such words, he really didn't get used to it, and it was so dry that it didn't taste like that, and it didn't mean quite right.

After the words came out, Arthur regretted it, he must have a hot brain, can he take it back now?

"Huh. Lan Li's low chuckle came from the earpiece, "I'm fine." If anything happens to me, the first person I turn to for help won't be you. ”

Arthur couldn't help but grind his teeth secretly: damn Lan Li.

"But, still...... Thank you. Lan Li continued, "Also, Arthur, you don't fit the image of gentle care. Then the phone was hung up.

Arthur held the phone and froze for a moment, hesitating whether he should be moved or depressed, and finally he decided to continue to "hate" Lan Li, "That damn guy, hum." ”

Sitting in place, Arthur's emotions gradually settled, and he suddenly understood what the inexplicable mixed emotions just now were:

Fetters.

It is not a simple family affection or friendship, nor is it a simple trust or dependence, but a bond, which connects people together and connects them tightly.

Although Lan Li is said to be a demon, this feeling of bonding seems to be ...... Not bad. Before I knew it, my steps became brisk.

……

Hollywood is starting to undershoot again – of course, in Vanity Fair's circles, reefs and undercurrents have never disappeared, the difference is only in the size.

Judging from the current movement, it is not too big, at least compared to the time when the four major film companies linked at the beginning of the year, the scale and involvement are much smaller. People in the industry have also become melon-eating people, occasionally chatting about this action after dinner, clearing the layers of fog, looking for the true appearance and purpose of the two sides of the game behind it.

For the industry, if it is just a personal grudge, it has not risen to the height of the company level for the time being, then no matter how big and top the two sides of the game are, this is not heavy news, it can only be said to be a worthless "behind-the-scenes tidbit", even Thomas Tool, who is the party concerned, thinks so, completely unaware that Lan Li's actions have quietly extended to Wall Street.

In the final analysis, it is actually the overall view and the overall situation when playing Go. Some people can only see five steps in front of them, but others have already calculated fifteen steps in the future. A spark had already ignited in Thomas's backyard, but he didn't smell the crisis at all, and all his attention remained on the immediate level - not that Thomas was too careless or stupid, but that Lan Li's layout and strategy were more daring and adventurous.

Although Lan Li's overall view is still lacking in the company's management, he has an advantage in the game of blueprint planning that others do not have.

In this way, Los Angeles is quietly surging, while no one is aware of the movement in New York, the paparazzi are gathering towards Honolulu, and at the same time, changes within the crew are taking place little by little.

The crew of "Jurassic World" officially started in this way, because Lan Li was low-key and restrained, solved things in a light and simple way, and did not cause too much movement, which also made the game confrontation between Lan Li and Thomas controlled in the cognition of a small group and did not affect the daily work of the crew - this is also the ultimate goal of Lan Li.

So, the crew started filming, and at the same time, the actions behind the scenes did not stop, but the changes hidden in the daily bits and pieces were too trivial and too light, whether they were in the game or watching the play, they couldn't capture the details for a while, it was more of a subtle and quiet change.

Only when most people wait for the qualitative change to really come, can they suddenly understand what those strange details of the past are going on; only a very, very small number of people can catch the development of things by chance, and then glimpse the essence of the change in advance, and then suddenly realize, but before that, they are also in the dark, passively pushed forward by the essential principles of things, and go with the flow.

For example, Nina Parker, who can spy on some of the changes, but still can't capture the real reason, and then gets trapped in her emotions.

Nina walked briskly through the crew, and now the whole crew was enjoying lunch, but she had to do macro control for the first scene of the afternoon to ensure that the connection between the cast and other departments was in place, so she went back and forth between the different departments of the crew, because she didn't eat, her blood sugar still dropped, and she felt a little dizzy, and then her temper became more and more irritable.

In the corner of her eye, she could see the bustling crowd not far away, the faint aroma of coffee wafting in the air, her footsteps couldn't help but stop, staring at the noise and prosperity in front of her in a daze, a blank brain because it was too tired to think, so she stood in place in a daze, stunned without sadness or joy. Why did she stop?

Immediately after, Nina reacted - the food truck.

Lan Li really fulfilled his promise and turned the luxury van into a common room, which formed a flowing and relaxing space for the crew with the food trucks that were added later, and what is even more rare is that the food truck changes suppliers every day, such as Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Italian pizza or American fast food, etc., etc., the lunch menu is constantly changing every day, which is really a pleasure and has become a major feature of the crew.

But Nina didn't like it, or even disgusted it.

That was their hard work! It took so much effort and time to make it a public place? Lan Li just cheaply "gave up" their efforts, without any respect at all. This made Nina sick to her stomach a little.
