Andy couldn't help but think of Melissa. From Diesel to Melissa, and then think about Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lawrence, and Natalie Portman, smart people have all stopped in time, and suddenly, an inspiration seems to have crossed Andy's mind: is this the difference between them and Diesel?

Such...... In this case......

His thoughts stopped here, and even a seasoned man like Andy felt a huge shock in his heart, as if he had carefully opened Pandora's box and quickly re-closed it, lest he release the devil, and the fingers of his left hand that were tapping his belly paused like this, and Andy himself didn't realize it, he straightened his waist slightly.

"Lan Li, why now?" The conflict between Diesel and Lan Li is not a matter of one or two days, but Lan Li has never really made a move, saying that it sounds good is high pride, and saying that it is bad is disdainful, which also makes Diesel teach him every time, because he never really feels "pain", Andy also thinks that Lan Li should teach Diesel a good lesson, but ...... Why now?

"He shouldn't have taken advantage of Paul. A simple sentence, Lan Li's voice suddenly became cold, the coldness behind the stiffness, instantly revealed a murderous aura, even across the phone, Andy couldn't help but shudder, and the trace of sympathy and pity for Diesel in his heart was cut off.

The fierceness disappeared in a flash, and Lan Li returned to business, "You can contact and see 'Rogue One', I am willing to act, but I need the power of the producer." "It's not a title or a name," and I'm going to discuss the project with a group of friends on our own, whether it's our own creation, whether it's finding a suitable script, or it's a remake. ”

It's not for Diesel, it's for Thomas Toole.

Thomas has repeatedly seized the upper hand over the two projects of "Interstellar" and "Jurassic Park", and Ron Mayer has never been able to make a choice easily, except for the Wall Street capital represented by Thomas, it is nothing more than because Lan Li is just a simple actor, and the contrast between power and interests cannot be calculated in detail.

Actors, no matter how powerful and good they are, their power and abilities are limited after all, and the most straightforward cases are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Carrey.

They are the first batch of "20 million club" members in Hollywood, and the whole 90s can be said to be unique in the world, and the strong momentum directly broke the shackles and caps of the entire industry on remuneration - 20 million at that time was definitely a breakthrough that caused a sensation all over the world, even the breakthrough of Lan Li's salary was standing on the shoulders of giants.

However, the cruel reality is that after entering the new century, their careers have fallen into a dead end one after another.

This was partly due to their limited acting pathways, but more often because they did not fight for themselves further at the level of producer power, and when the actors' careers were at an impasse, they were quickly abandoned by the major studios.

Why did Diesel cling to power and refuse to let go, why would Tom Cruise rather be complained about by industry insiders as an "eternal hero" than join a star-studded movie to weaken his production rights, and why Will Smith, Brad Pitt and George Clooney gradually reduced their starring works and exposure but can still stand at the top of the pyramid in Hollywood?

All the reasons are the same, they are producers, not pseudonymous producers, but producers with real power, producers who sit at the same conference table with the film company to play and negotiate, although in the confrontation between individuals and capital, individuals are still the weak side, but at least compared to actors, there has been a breakthrough.

Now, Lan Li has also begun to spread his hands and feet.

The amount of information was a bit too much, Andy felt that he needed to take a breath, he needed to clear his mind, this game was beyond his ability, but luckily he was a member of the innovative artist agency, and behind him stood the support group of the entire huge company, which was obviously a change that the company liked to see.

"Lan Li, you know, that means you may need to attend the Golden Globes and Sundances, and you may even need to be more involved in the academy PR during awards season, you realize that, right?" The first thought in Andy's mind was this, it didn't work to use chicken feathers as an arrow, they needed Lan Li to show up in person and negotiate in person.

"Yes, I know. Lan Li bowed his head slightly, "If you want to reciprocate, you must give, this is the law of nature." He knew how heavy and sensational his words were, and he knew the difficulty and hardships of achieving such a goal, but he still didn't hesitate. Everyone has their own bottom line, and so does he.

"I'll weigh it myself, and at the end of the day, I still want to be able to focus on my work, and I'll leave it to you. You can always contact Andre and Matthew if you need to. Lan Li paused slightly, "And Arthur." Yes, Arthur can help too. ”

Arthur Hall. Since the Venice Film Festival, Arthur has quietly opened up a situation, and now his influence on a European scale is gradually spreading, he has the strength and ability, and the aura of hereditary nobility allows him to easily enter the upper class, and it is only a matter of time before he shines.

George and Elizabeth have been working hard for many years, hoping to open up the situation in the aristocratic class, but they have never been able to find a breakthrough;

George and Elizabeth remained silent, pretending that nothing had happened, as they had done then, but differently because Arthur's work and career were the resources they desperately needed. Their relationship with Arthur was maintained at a delicate equilibrium, and the water of the two wells did not interfere with the river water, but they were inextricably linked.

In Edith's words, "God, I'd rather jump straight into the Thames than face this." ”

This was the first time Lan Li had taken the initiative to leave Arthur's passage open. This is not an easy task, because it means that not only Lan Li is involved in Arthur's affairs, but Arthur will also be involved in Lan Li's affairs in the future, and they are no longer two separate individuals who share the surname "Hall", but ...... family, or brothers.

It's like Lan Li and Edith.

For ordinary people, this seems to be a simple and ordinary choice, but for hereditary nobles, it is an extremely rare choice, and it can even be said to be a difficult choice.

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth rose, and he continued, "For now, let's focus on the filming of 'Interstellar'." We all know that these things can't be done overnight, and depending on the filming progress of the film, the Golden Globes and Sundance will see if they can make it to the scene. ”

Andy could feel the faint tiredness in Lan Li's words, although this was the situation he was eagerly expecting, but thinking of Lan Li's personality and persistence, "Lan Li, you...... It should not be given up. "Persistence in the actor.

If an actor is ruined because of a struggle for power, even Andy himself will feel extremely guilty and even extremely sad. Before things even started, Andy regretted it a little. If he could, he hoped none of this had happened, but ...... This is Hollywood's Vanity Fair, which has the power to destroy the world, capable of quietly corroding and destroying a person, where geniuses and stars are always the least valuable existence.

Andy has witnessed the fall of too many geniuses, and he doesn't want Lan Li to die in his own hands.

Lan Li chuckled, and immediately understood what Andy meant, "Do you think I'll give up?" After a rhetorical question, Lan Li continued, "Goodbye, Andy, I'm already about to arrive at the studio, and the work is going well." ”

There was a busy sound on the phone, Andy put the phone in the palm of his hand and gently swayed, but the slightly hot mobile phone battery was still not as hot as the palm of the palm, he didn't realize that the sweat of his hands was so bad, like a rookie who had never seen the world, a little "small" thing was shocked.

The reason why Lan Li left everything to him, even Andre, Matthew and Arthur, was because Lan Li still never changed his original intention.

After realizing this, Andy chuckled in relief, took out two tissues to wipe the sweat on his palms, and then connected the internal line, "Nancy, you see when the company has recently arranged a group meeting, give me three time options, as soon as possible, and then call the partner to tell me that I need to occupy thirty minutes of it...... Well, something about Lan Li. ”

After the explanation, Andy still lazily lay on the boss's chair, turned the chair, and faced the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, his mood couldn't help but be bright and relaxed, he felt that the sun in Los Angeles was really good today.

……

Arriving at Studio 18, Lan Li's steps remained relaxed, although he had just made a major decision, but the biggest change after being reincarnated as a human was that since he had decided, he would carry it out bravely, and he would not stand still and be afraid. It's the same this time.

Lan Li nodded to the staff with a smile on his face, and Nathan stood next to the driver's door, watching Lan Li's relaxed and comfortable back.

He thought that he would feel afraid, because of Lan Li's decisiveness, and because of Lan Li's ruthlessness, he couldn't help but tremble just by imagining it, but at this moment, he just felt a sense of loneliness, bathed in the sun, quietly hidden under the tall and straight back.

Suddenly, Nathan understood Lan Li's choice.
