1968 Returned to China
Whether it is as an actor pursuing a higher level in the field of artistic creation, or as an artist, achieving more success in the commercial field, all of this is inseparable from the support of Don Quixote and ordinary fans-
This is a job that stands under the spotlight, this is a job that needs to show itself and get a response, without those cries and shouts, without those support and praise, then their work is just a self-entertaining car behind closed doors, which can never be resonated, then everything they have is just an ethereal bubble, which will be dispersed when the wind blows.
Lan Li knew all this deeply.
At the same time, Lan Li also clearly knows that in ordinary life, he is very low-key and refuses to share, trying his best to isolate his personal life, which also makes his communication with fans very, very rare. He insists on communicating with the audience through his works, so when each work comes out, it should be the moment when he communicates with the audience, which is also the communication channel he wants, so he will go all out to join the promotional itinerary.
Indeed, with Lan Li's current status and prestige, he can completely control his propaganda itinerary, participate in the propaganda work in major cities, and then freely take tens of millions of dollars in salary checks, enjoy his glamorous and leisurely life, and make everyone in the world jealous.
But he didn't want that.
"I don't want to forget myself. ”
This sentence is a bit hypocritical and a little selfish, but it is the fundamental reason why Lan Li has persisted until now, he hopes that he will never forget the free soul tied to the hospital bed, and the pure heart that sprints towards his dream, when he forgets the moment, he is no longer himself.
In fact, Andy and Roy both understand Lan Li's insistence, but Andy is an agent in the traditional system in the final analysis, and the concept of profit first makes him make different choices; It is this difference in choice that makes the opinions of the two people diverge.
And Nathan still doesn't seem to understand.
Although he got a clear answer from Roy and knew Lan Li's persistence, "knowing" and "understanding", "knowing" and "digesting" were two different things, Nathan's brain still hadn't been able to completely turn the corner, and those wisdom of life was too difficult and too difficult for him, and there were countless puzzles.
However, Nathan understood one truth: this was Lan Li's choice. If this was not Lan Li's own will, then no one would be able to force him.
"Huh......" Nathan let out a long breath, the only worry in his mind now is still Lan Li's physical condition, I hope that the next two days can be spent safely, and after going to Honolulu, Lan Li's footsteps will be able to settle down, although he still needs to film, but at least he can adjust his body well.
Back in his seat, Nathan's irritability still couldn't be calmed down, and in the midst of anxiety and tension, time moved forward like a snail.
Before waiting for the plane to arrive at its destination, Lan Li began to cough quietly, the air in the cabin was too dry, which made the lungs burn badly, and the light sleep state made the whole person in a state of restlessness and restlessness, and the poor sleep quality made the head groggy like a mess, and finally simply gave up falling asleep and sat up directly, but the slightly hot eyes were still heavy and couldn't be opened.
"Lan Li?" Nathan immediately stood up reflexively, and without waiting for Lan Li to respond, he walked to the position of the flight attendant on standby, asked for a glass of warm water, and returned to Lan Li's position next to him, standing in place and waiting quietly for a while, and then Lan Li sat up and asked cautiously, "Lan Li, do you need to drink saliva?"
Lan Li did not answer.
He just sat in place with his eyes closed, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and his cheeks were flushed with an abnormal flush, faintly revealing a trace of pain, and he shook his head slightly, and then nodded slightly, but he didn't know what he was expressing, and the irritability between his eyebrows was released in this way, and he inadvertently started a tantrum like a child.
This kind of blue ceremony had never been seen before, which made Nathan more and more worried, and he closed his mouth firmly, not daring to make even the slightest sound.
One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.
Nathan could clearly hear the second hand moving in his ears, and then Lan Li's irritability quietly calmed down.
Usually, every time I see Lan Li's strong control and self-control, it seems that any difficulty and any emotion can be included in the control, this ability makes Nathan sincerely admire, but today, Nathan can't help but feel distressed, even if he is sick, he can't vent his temper willfully, and he always needs to control himself strictly.
The glamorous appearance and elegant demeanor of the hereditary aristocracy always make people look up and yearn for it, but behind that strict self-control, there is an indelible loneliness that only those who have really experienced it can understand how terrible the weight of that crown is.
"Thank you. Lan Li finally opened his eyes and smiled as he took the warm water from Nathan's hand, a hint of hoarseness in his deep voice, "After landing, can you help me find two aspirins?" It was obviously a very weak word, but he still said it in a gentlemanly and calm manner, as if he was just saying "I want to eat apples".
"Of course!" Nathan nodded in affirmation, hesitated for a moment, "Lan Li, are you really okay?" ”
"Huh. The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, but the tired look was well concealed, so that people couldn't notice it, "Don't worry, I've dealt with worse situations, have you forgotten it?"
At this time, he was still in the mood to joke, but Nathan couldn't laugh at all, he pulled the corners of his mouth, his smile was more ugly than crying, he still couldn't hide his thoughts after all, "But, why did you agree to this propaganda trip? The last time I came to the magic capital, those reporters were not so friendly." ”
Naturally, Lan Li will not forget.
The last time the magic capital promoted "gravity", he thought that maybe he shouldn't come back and keep a little distance, but he could keep the good memories intact, but who would have thought that just seven months later, he would actually return to the magic capital again, and return to this land again for the promotion of the movie.
Lan Li didn't answer immediately, but raised the water glass, took a sip of warm water, the warm boiled water moistened the dry throat, the hot and stinging feeling eased slightly, and the gaze cast towards the window opposite the aisle was slightly distracted, "Do you know what the real appearance of the home looks like? I knew I shouldn't come back, but I couldn't help but take a step. ”
Home, escape, return?
Nathan didn't understand it at all, as if he was listening to a book from heaven, was Lan Li talking about "interstellar", or was he talking about propaganda, or something else?
Lan Li didn't intend to explain in depth, he raised his head and showed a shallow smile to Nathan, "Everyone wants to get a good reward without paying, or they enjoy benefits but refuse to pay their own price, get something for nothing, daydream, what a happy thing, but this world shouldn't work like this." ”
Nathan was still confused, unable to keep up with the rhythm: what? What was Lan Li talking about? Why did the more he listened, the more confused and confused he became? Was Lan Li sure his head was not a mess because of a fever? Why couldn't he understand a word? He didn't even know what his original problem was!
Then, the appearance of the flight attendant interrupted the conversation between Nathan and Lan Li - to be precise, the flight attendant just stood a short distance behind and did not come forward to disturb him.
When waiting for Lan Li to cast his gaze, the flight attendant took the initiative to come up, "Sorry, the plane is still flying, it is recommended that you sit in your seat and keep your seat belt fastened, otherwise it will not be safe when encountering turbulence." If you need any help, don't hesitate to let us know. ”
The other party is trying to persuade Nathan.
Nathan cast a confirmed glance at Lan Li, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he turned back to his place in confusion.
The flight attendant crouched down next to Lan Li's seat, maintaining a polite gaze, "Mr. Hall, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Lukewarm, I need another glass of warm water, thank you. Lan Li also said politely.
The flight attendant took the paper cup and returned again after a while, and after making sure that Lan Li had no other needs, the other party did not get up to leave, but asked politely, "Sorry to disturb you, I ask on behalf of the crew whether you can take a photo with us after waiting for landing? It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient, it's just that we are really honored to serve you." ”
Looking at the slightly restrained smile of the flight attendant, the depths of his eyes flashed with excitement and excitement, but the cramped expression still couldn't hide the surge of anticipation, the corners of Lan Li's mouth raised a perfect arc, and he gently bowed his head in agreement, "Of course." It's also my pleasure. ”
The other party immediately showed a big bright smile, and the joy from the bottom of his heart made the air surge, "Thank you very much! Then the flight attendant stood up, tried to suppress his emotions, and turned away.
After a while, there was a low commotion directly in front of the cabin, and the excitement and excitement could not be hidden.
