"John, you...... You can't do this! We've already said it, you can't do this!" Melissa finally found her voice, and said in a panic, repeating the same words over and over again, and in a panic, Melissa was breaking down little by little.

It's not fair.

Indeed, this is a fact, but it is also a reality.

John ignored Melissa, but looked at Lan Li and cast an inquiring look, as if asking Lan Li's opinion: should they get closer and complete the exchange of news, or should they communicate in some more confidential way, if it was heavy news?

Lan Li glanced lightly at the lost Melissa with the rest of her eyes, the smile on the corner of her mouth raised, and she said nonchalantly, "I intend to return to the 'Fast and Thrill' series, but obviously there are still obstacles, and then we can wait and see how things play out." ”

This is a detailed plan made by Andy Rogers.

On the one hand, it's another warning to Vin Diesel. After the "Guardians of the Galaxy" incident, fearing that Diesel might be angry with Paul Walker or Jason Statham and others for no reason, now Lan Li has released the news that this time the matter was initiated by him, and if there is any problem, just let the horse go.

On the other hand, it's a hint to Universal Pictures. The focus is not on the "Fast & Thrilling" series, but on the reboot series of "Jurassic Park", and Lanli took the initiative to extend an olive branch, hoping that Ron Mayer could adjust his mentality as soon as possible and take the first step bravely in the cooperation negotiations.

In the past, Andy has been looking for the right opportunity and the right way, deliberately letting out the news, but he didn't expect that now the opportunity will be sent to the door, and Lan Li will complete this work smoothly. Spread through the paparazzi in front of him, he will not be suspicious, after all, the timing is just right.

Sure enough, John's pupils widened slightly, and he couldn't believe his ears.

John didn't know much about the game between Steven Spielberg, Ron Meyer, and Ranley Hall, so he naturally couldn't find out about "Jurassic Park", but he immediately caught the words - obstacle? What is the obstacle? Vin Diesel's name jumped out in an instant.

Now, here's the excitement!

Diesel obviously doesn't want Lan Li to return to the series, and Lan Li also said that Diesel is the only obstacle to his return, coupled with the negative news that has been disturbed by the "Fast and Thrill/Emotional" crew in the past period, the development of things is really intriguing.

By the way, the reason why John is so excited is because of the background of the story.

On May 24th, "Fast & Thrill/Love 6" and "The Hangover 3" officially premiered on the same day, despite the lack of Lan Li's attendance, the former's premiere red carpet was still lively, becoming one of the most watched works in this year's summer file, and then the box office was hot, which cannot be said to be disappointing, but it cannot be said to be happy.

Ninety-seven million, that's the box office of the opening weekend of "Fast & Thrill 6".

Compared to the fifth part of the series two years ago, the premiere figure was only 2 million US dollars, which is really unsatisfactory, and more importantly, before the release of the film, industry insiders generally predicted that the film's opening weekend data should reach between 120 million and 140 million, and the final premiere data did not exceed the 100 million threshold, which is inevitably regrettable.

However, the 97 million premiere box office still managed to maintain the level of the previous film, and overall, it is still gratifying news. For this reason, Universal Pictures held a special celebration banquet to congratulate the series of films on continuing the successful model, which also means that the grand blueprint of the seventh and eighth films can indeed continue to be promoted.

But then, the box office of "Fast & Furious 6" crashed by 64 percent the following week, earning only $35 million in weekend box office and $171 million in two weeks.

In comparison, the same period figure for "Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5" is a 38 percent drop at the weekend box office of $58.9 million, and a two-week cumulative box office of $193 million.

In just two weeks, the sixth part of the series officially lagged behind its predecessor, and the box office trend was obviously sluggish, from media reputation to audience feedback, which also means that it is almost impossible for the sixth part to reach a new high. The third week that followed saw another 45 percent drop at the box office, confirming the suspicions.

Although the box office has exceeded 200 million in three weeks, the possibility of the sixth part trying to catch up with the 5th part of the North American 300 million has been completely extinguished, and even the overseas box office has been far away.

Purely in terms of box office revenue, Universal Pictures can still make a lot of money, and this is still a successful sequel work; but from the perspective of the long-term layout of the seventh and eighth parts, Universal Pictures is beginning to worry, what is wrong? The box office of the sequel is not rising but falling? The appeal of the series and the stickiness of the audience are declining, what should they do? Is the vitality of the series beginning to wither?

For Universal, which is not good at creating sequels, this is really worth their panic.

It was in this context that Lan Li revealed this news, and even if he thought on his knees, John could guess what kind of uproar this would cause!

"Wow. John couldn't help but marvel and couldn't wait to ask, "So, what if the media asks you?"

The news cannot be just hearsay, and all the media will inevitably look for the person concerned to confirm.

"I won't admit it, but I won't deny it. Lan Li said with a smile that what Andy is seeking is a bigger piece of the puzzle, that is, the right to speak against the six major film companies, not just a "Fast and Thrill" and a "Jurassic Park", so what Lan Li needs to do is to remain silent and leave everything else to Andy.

John snapped his fingers, "That's enough." That's enough!"

The whole person began to chatter back and forth excitedly, and then realized one thing, spread out his right hand, and in front of Lan Li, he completely broke the memory card and threw it to the sewer next to him.

It doesn't take too many words to make the meaning clear, in comparison, Melissa's trick today is really too clumsy and vulgar, there is no need for hype, and between the trade-offs, John still made a choice easily.

"Oh, oh, God!" Melissa exclaimed in disbelief as she covered her mouth with her hands and fell apart and screamed wildly, "No!

John completely ignored Melissa's reaction, looked at Lan Li, and glanced at the desperate Melissa with the rest of his eyes, "Sorry for the inconvenience caused you today. Do you need my help? Use public opinion to drive her out of the crew?"

"Thanks for the offer. But I guess, I don't care. Lan Li said with a smile.

John was still eager to try, trying to do everything in his power to show his gratitude, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Lan Li said affirmatively.

John looked disappointed, the kind of regret and suffocation that he tried to prove his loyalty with all his might, but there was nowhere to vent and nowhere to vent, it was almost impossible to hide, but then, he still touched his head, and reluctantly said, "That...... Then I'll leave first, and I apologize again for today's incident, and there will be no next time. ”

Lan Li smiled and bowed his head.

John turned around and took two steps, still unrelenting, "Are you sure? I can help...... Lan Li didn't speak, just looked at John with a smile, which made him swallow the words that followed, waved his hand in disdain, and turned away.

John deeply believes that Joey is right and that Lan Li is a good person.

If Lan Li had known what John was thinking, he would have laughed it off.

Lan Li really didn't plan to kick Melissa out of the crew, but not because he was a "good person".

To be honest, if Lan Li is willing, this is a matter of one sentence, and the same is true for finding a replacement actor, twenty-four hours, forty-eight hours at most, Melissa's role is not the key to "Burst Drummer", but more of a symbolic sign.

But Lan Li's consideration is more comprehensive.

Replacing Melissa now, on the one hand, may affect the filming of "Burst Drummer", the on-the-spot change will be full of variables, on the other hand, Melissa's plan may succeed, she only needs to complain to the media that she was fired for a reason, and the news breaking point has already come out, no matter what the truth is, whether it can be clarified, or whether it can be completed in the future, Lan Li will inevitably become a "stepping stone" to help Melissa achieve her goal.

For Lan Li, there are really a lot of things that he hates and rejects, one of which is to affect the work of actors, and the other is to become a stepping stone.

If Melissa was fired, both would be taken care of, and on the contrary, it would be wiser and easier to keep Melissa.

First, Melissa's role is not much, as Lan Li said, there are only three scenes before and after, and the filming work is relatively simple and can be completed quickly;

Third, after the filming ended, time passed, and Lan Li didn't need to confront Melissa head-to-head at all, he only needed to release rumors in the circle, or spread the news through John, he believed that Melissa's life would be even more sad, and it might even have nothing to do with the film industry at all.

There are many ways to deal with this matter, and firing Melissa on the spot is the simplest and crudest, and the most left problems. Lan Li is a decisive person, he will not be soft-hearted, even if he decides to solve the problem, then he must be neat, cut the grass and roots, and achieve the most effective result in the simplest way.

John's idea was wrong, Lan Li was not a good person. Never.
