A month has passed in a flash, "Fighting Cancer" is about to officially premiere this week, and the crew of "Edge of Tomorrow" has been filming for so long. Lan Li will fly back to New York to attend the premiere, and then come back again to continue filming.
"Me Against Cancer" is an independent film that was finally set to be released by Summit Entertainment.
Summit Entertainment positioned the work as a fresh literary and artistic work such as "500 Days with Shamo" and "Little Sunshine Beauty", and according to the comedy style of the work itself, they chose a large-scale comprehensive release, but the publicity cost is very limited, and it will not be overwhelmingly displayed like commercial films, but slowly fermented and spread by word of mouth.
Summit Entertainment made a good calculation. They hope to rely on the current prestige of Lanli, and then take advantage of the east wind of "love is crazy", and then rub the craze of the awards season, without spending too much publicity money, looking forward to the "anti-cancer me" can achieve good results. If they fail, they have nothing to lose, the cost and publicity are already very low, and even if they lose money, the losses are limited.
Therefore, what Lan Li needs to do is to go to the premiere, and then be interviewed by some magazines, and the promotional trip will be over for the time being, and he can return to the set in the UK to continue working.
If possible, Lan Li hopes that the friends of the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew can go to New York together to attend the premiere. Not for publicity, but for the pleasant cooperation in the past period, and truly became a close partner, Lan Li sincerely sent out an invitation. However, the decision is still in the hands of the director and producer, after all, the entire crew was absent for four days and the filming schedule was suspended for four days, which is not a trivial matter.
However, Donald directly ignored the matter of "asking for the opinions of the director and producer", turned his head and excitedly discussed with Rami and Paul, "You say, what clothes am I going to wear at the premiere? This is my first time attending the premiere of a movie, if I dress like a geek otaku, will I be ostracized? Will the reporters keep pressing the shutter? Or will no one pay attention to me at all?"
Looking at Donald's extremely excited expression, Alexander said faintly, "If you want to go to the upper body, it will definitely work very well." ”
Without waiting for Donald to react, "Alex!" Lan Li shook his head lightly at Alexander, with a "I'm disappointed" expression on his face, which attracted everyone's attention, "Chiguo's upper body can't achieve any effect, don't you make it clear that you're cheating Donald? If you have to choose, it's of course a high-forked bikini like 'Borat'." ”
Released in 2006, "Borat" is a satirical comedy film in which the male protagonist has a classic look, wearing invincible high-leg swim trunks and extremely spicy eyes.
"Poof", everyone first thought that Lan Liyao was unhappy for Donald, and then thought that Lan Liyao suggested Donald Quanguo. Unexpectedly, there was a more ruthless trick, Alexander was the first to squirt out, and the others next to him were no exception, leaving Donald alone stunned - in the crew of the "Scrap Wood Alliance", he is the king of pranks, why is the painting style wrong when he comes here?
Donald opened his mouth slightly, looked at Lan Li, and then said viciously, "I'm really going to do this! "To be honest, Donald probably did it, after all, he's a comedian, and the lower limit is far beyond imagination.
Lan Li pursed his lips, clenched his fists and retracted them, and made a cheering gesture, "Please!"
This suddenly made Donald grit his teeth, and as soon as his eyes rolled, the ghost idea came out, "Oh, don't regret what you said." When the time comes, I'll rub your thighs with my lower body, so you don't have to run away. After saying that, Donald also made a shaking/crotch movement, which immediately made Kaya and Jennifer scream, shouting loudly, "Donald!" At the same time, he raised his hand and slapped Donald continuously, and suddenly Donald became the target of the group of beatings, protecting his head and running away in embarrassment.
Abby Mills stood next to him, for a while, a smile appeared on his face, embarrassed to interrupt such a joyful atmosphere, and finally Lan Li noticed Abby's figure and took the initiative to turn his head, and Abby stepped forward in a hurry, "Lan Li, there are your visitors outside." Nathan was receiving, but he wasn't quite sure, if that was your friend......"
As the words were spoken, Abby paused, her expression a little embarrassed.
If it is a normal visitor, and the actor's assistant does not know him, then he must be refused to enter, and they do not need to disturb the actor's daily work. But the point is, there is something special about this one visitor. It's not a last resort, and Abby won't come over to ask Lan Li.
Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't mean to get up, and motioned for Abby to continue.
"Nicole-Bron, do you remember?" Abby asked, and Lan Li nodded in confirmation.
Nicole is the head of the photography base, although the position is not high, and it is far from Warner Bros. in the United States, but it is actually a capable character with a strong background, and has a very good relationship with Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer. Nicole is in charge of a wide range of operations in the UK, in addition to the studio. One of the most straightforward things: Nicole got the permission to shoot at Heathrow Airport.
Abby squeezed out a smile, "That visitor is Nicole herself." "It's really a reflection of identity and status. However, since he was accompanied by Nicole, he could have directly entered the photography base, so why did he have to ask Lan Li's permission?" we took the initiative to invite him in, but he said that he didn't want to disturb your work, and he could wait slowly. ”
This is the United Kingdom. There are countless people who can guess in Lan Li's mind, and even if it is George and Elizabeth who visit, Lan Li will not be too surprised.
Lan Li's jaw gestured and stood up, much to Abby's great relief and her smile again. This expression made Lan Li laugh too, and teased, "It seems that my reputation is really bad now. "That's why I scared Abby like this.
This joke made Abby laugh heartily, and her mood relaxed a little, and she also joked, "Then you will have dinner today?
"Fish and chips, or do you need three Michelin stars?" Lan Li's words made Abby giggle, and the atmosphere couldn't help but relax along the way.
Leaving the studio, the two of them got into a golf cart and walked towards the visitor room at the entrance of the studio. Not only that, Lan Li can also tell that the owner of the voice is deliberately showing his charm, his voice is slightly lower than usual, and his self-proclaimed / wind / flow demeanor has not been seen by anyone, it is already obvious.
Lan Li smiled dumbly, walked into the visitor room, and sure enough, he saw Andre Hamilton sitting on the sofa on the left.
When he returned to London this time, Lan Li never met Andre, and I heard that even on the wedding anniversary of the Hamiltons, the beloved youngest son did not come back to celebrate, and was still out and about. Lan Li originally thought that he would only meet him when he went back to London to shoot the real scene, but he didn't expect that André took the initiative to find him.
Sitting on Andre's right-hand sofa is Nicole Brown, a woman who is still extraordinary in her forties, a simple black and white suit, but it reflects the femininity and fortitude of women, which makes people shine. No wonder Andrei was so "funny and humorous" just now.
Nicole noticed Lan Li's appearance at the first time, but Andre continued the conversation as if he hadn't seen it. Nicole was a little surprised, but did not interrupt Andre's conversation, but for Lan Li, it was already strange, he sat down directly opposite, and comfortably crossed Erlang's legs, leisurely.
In the end, Nicole was defeated, seized an opportunity, and said, "Lan Li is here." Hope I didn't bother you with your filming work. Nicole politely gestured.
Andrei, who was sitting next to him, interjected, "Is this a hint that I came to visit at the wrong time?"
Nicole's expression couldn't help but change slightly, the owner of the Dalmore Whiskey House, the youngest son of the Duke of Hamilton, no matter what his status, in British high society, he is a person who will cause earthquakes if he stamps his feet. Even Warner Bros., they had to be cautious, and cautious. Andrei's remark just now, is it a joke?
"Of course. Lan Li raised her eyebrows and replied unhurriedly, "You should first make an appointment by phone, and then you should prepare a gift." This is the basic etiquette of the crew's visit. If you don't know well, you can go home and get a good education, so as not to have a bad reputation after it spreads. ”
Andrei rolled his eyes speechlessly. Just as Ni was about to get angry for Andre, she heard Andre say, "How do you know I didn't bring a gift?"
"You should know that the reason why a gift is called a gift is to make the giver feel happy, right?" Lan Li said with a smile. The subtext is: No matter what gift you give, I'm not happy, then it's your faux pas. Andrei is in a position where he can't win no matter what.
In the face of such a blue salute, Andre raised his hands to show surrender, "Then I'll leave now, it's always okay, right?"
"Since you have no intention of leaving, don't speak. You should know that I really do nod. Lan Li's complaint made Andre laugh softly, and shook his head helplessly.
Abby was completely dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was happening in front of her and unable to keep up with the rhythm, while Nicole was all the ones who seemed to understand something, but she was not sure, and fell into her own contemplation.
Lan Li stood up and made an inviting gesture, "Let's go, I'll show you around the set." Haven't you always been curious when you were in Hollywood?" Lan Li and Andre walked to the door, Lan Li remembered, stopped, turned around, and smiled, "Abby, thank you, and, Nicole, sorry for the inconvenience." After politely showing his manners, he followed André and left the reception room.
