1854 had no choice
The off-road 4WD was jolting on the dirt trails of the Gurani Ranch, and Nina felt like her stomach was tumbling, as if she could vomit at any moment, and the taste of countless ocean balls hitting and bouncing in her stomach was really lustful/fairy/desire/death, she must have had her brain in water before deciding to follow.
In fact, Nina's work has come to an end temporarily, and when the whole crew starts to be busy filming, she can win a short respite, although she still needs to be on standby at any time, but she finally doesn't have to follow it step by step, which is also a rare time to rest and adjust.
She didn't know what was going on with her, she didn't enjoy the good rest time, but she followed the crew with a hot brain, and now every cell in her body is regretting it. She felt that she should be evil.
Arriving at the filming site of the crew, Nina took a big breath of fresh air, and the green in her eyes finally calmed down her stomach that was about to move, and when she raised her gaze and swept it casually, Nina saw Lan Li at a glance - she wasn't quite sure whether Lan Li was too dazzling and always attracted attention, or whether she habitually looked for Lan Li's figure that was immediately captured in the crowd.
As he moved his footsteps, looking for a spot that wouldn't obstruct the path, he watched Lan Li curiously explore his every move.
At this time, Lan Li was discussing the script with Colin and Brythe. Although they are too far away to capture the specific discussion, their dedication and concentration can be seen in their looks and movements. Lan Li was drawing the blueprint in his mind, Colin and Bryce listened attentively, and every now and then Colin interjected a few words, while Bryce always maintained a high level of attention, as if she was pondering carefully.
I can't hear the sound, but there is a kind of magic in this scene, which makes people can't help but yearn for it: curious about what they discussed, curious about the effect of interpretation, curious about the chemistry of the work process...... It's a really amazing feeling, and it gives Nina another perspective to re-examine Lan Li.
Or, after putting aside prejudices and prejudices, Nina's mentality has changed, and the scene she sees now is naturally different. Pessimists always see tragedy, while optimists see hope, which is another way of interpreting "character determines fate".
"He's really smart, isn't he?"
A voice sounded in her ears, interrupting Nina's thoughts, she was startled, turned her head, and then saw Thomas Toole with his hands behind his back, and then Nina realized that she was too focused and too distracted, and she even crossed her hands in front of her chest, tilted her head to admire it, and the appearance of her wandering world was really a little embarrassing, so she didn't notice Thomas's appearance.
Realizing that her embarrassment fell on Thomas's eyes, Nina adjusted her stance a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help but start cursing in her heart - how did Thomas, who never liked to arrive at the filming site, appear? Could it be that Thomas was watching them all the time? Or was Thomas so impatient to trap Lan Li? Then the conflict between them was far beyond expectations.
Thomas didn't seem to notice Nina's embarrassment at all, and still put his hands behind his back in a comfortable gesture of appreciation, "He always knows how to shape his image and deceive everyone." Look, if I hadn't known his true colors earlier, I would have believed his beautiful rhetoric about dreams and performances, how great and how noble it is, it's really admirable. β
What do you mean?
Nina narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Thomas carefully: was everything she saw an illusion?
"You know what? In order to drive Vin Diesel to a corner, he did not hesitate to use himself as a bargaining chip to convince Warner Bros. and Disney to side with him, and even Universal Pictures could not escape his calculations. Thomas's gaze always fell on Lan Li's body, and the information revealed in that few words was really too terrifying, so that Nina couldn't react, "Also, in order to force me into a corner and then take control of the crew, he did not hesitate to sacrifice Bryce, ready to use Bryce to create a scandal, and then put the fault on me." β
Nina felt that her mind was a little overwhelmed: this news was too exciting......! Why did Lan Li do this? Nina herself didn't understand where the idea came from, but it took root like a nail and lingered, and why did Thomas tell herself the inside story? She was just a little minion, wasn't she? I couldn't help but have a little doubt about Thomas's words.
Thomas seemed to sense Nina's hesitation, and he also understood the reason for the over-indulgence, so he stopped and did not continue, but turned his head to Nina and showed a shallow smile, "I just want to say that Lan Li has never been so harmless to humans and animals on the outside. He is not an angel. β
Nina chewed carefully, but her mind couldn't help but recall the bits and pieces since she joined the crew: if Thomas really used them to deal with Lan Li, hoping to fundamentally destroy Lan Li's reputation, and Lan Li saw through the plan at the beginning, how would he deal with it?
Nina is not a child anymore. Everything depends on one mouth, right and wrong have lost their original appearance, so if you want to clear the fog and see through the truth, you must rely on yourself.
Vaguely, Nina seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised her head and looked at Thomas again, but then she withdrew her gaze - what is Thomas's real purpose? just to discredit Lan Li? just to win over Nina? Of course, his deepest purpose: to reveal the truth leak plan, and then ask Nina to take sides.
It's not about right or wrong, it's about choosing a team.
The smile on Nina's lips was a little bitter - she was just a little minion, really thanks to Thomas, if she could, she still liked Lan Li's way of dealing with it, calmly accepting apologies, calmly facing resistance, calmly facing challenges, although Lan Li's attitude made her feel very small, but at least not aggressive.
Does that mean, did she make a choice?
Of course not. If only the choice of interests and right and wrong in real life were really so simple, she still has a whole team to take care of, not just her.
Her gaze swept over Thomas, and then projected in the direction of Lan Li, what should she do?
"His professional image is always deceitful, isn't it?" Thomas said again, as if he was just gossiping about today's weather or lunch choices, "who can say no to an actor who is dedicated and committed in his professional field? Everyone says that a man who works hard is the most attractive, so he knows what he's doing and what he should do, he's a really smart guy." β
Nina couldn't refute, and more importantly, she didn't want to answer, so she could only show a big smile and respond to Thomas, but there was no smile in her eyes, she felt like a puppet with a mask, her soul and spirit had begun to withdraw, but her expression was still flawless.
"Even I'm going to fall in love with him. Thomas's voice revealed a hint of coldness, obviously warm words, but he didn't feel any temperature at all, only a terrifying chill.
Nina just felt like she was about to lose her breath.
Thomas then said, "You are now past the location of the fishpond, where a reporter is waiting, and this is his business card. You bring him into the crew, be careful not to disturb the crew, and don't let him run around, and if something goes wrong, then I don't know anything about it. The only thing he can do is take pictures, and you have to follow him every step of the way, let him do his job, but don't snoop around. After he's done with his work, you can escort him out. β
Does Lan Li think that he is the only one who is smart?
Since Lan Li dared to let out the news and lure the reporters over, don't blame him for luring the wolf into the room and hyping up the scandal along the way, even if Lan Li denies it, he also has a way to make Lan Li suffer a dumb loss. If Lan Li thought that he would swallow his anger and tie his hands down, then he was too naΓ―ve.
Nina looked at Thomas with a stunned face, barely believing her ears: Does Thomas know what he's doing?
But...... Will she be able to refuse?
Thinking of this, a wave of unwilling anger ignited in Nina's heart, and it burned like this - Lan Li and whales like Thomas fought, but in the end it was their little shrimp who suffered, which was really ...... Aggrieved. But what can she do? What else can she do? Because she's just a little shrimp who is being led by the nose, and there's so little she can do other than compromise and obedience.
What's more, Thomas didn't give Nina a chance to object, and turned his head, "I mean now." β
Nina's chest was choked, and she was almost unable to breathe, but she had no room to resist. His gaze was projected in the direction of Lan Li again, and at this time Lan Li was still talking about the script, his eyes shining with concentration and devotion, and the eyes that fell on him couldn't be removed at all.
I'm sorry, Lan Li, she really didn't have a choice. The current position was chosen by Thomas in her place, and she could do nothing but accept it. It was at this moment that Nina realized that in fact, she had made a choice deep down, and reality forced her to go against her choice, this is the helplessness of life, it seems that the only thing she can do now is to accept it.
"Good. Nina replied with a raised voice, then turned and strode away. Unprecedentedly, Nina felt the malice of Sen Sen from Vanity Fair, and in this way, her soul was twisted little by little, and finally evolved into an appearance that she didn't recognize.
