259 Righteous indignation
"Does he like candy too? I mean, Ryan. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Alfred's words relaxed, like a small talk between friends, without the previous flattery and positivity, which made Lan Li's words a little more casual, "Yes, he always carries candy with him, even on the occasion of the movie premiere." ”
As he spoke, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and Lan Li recalled that he was "buried alive" at the premiere in Toronto, Ryan was wearing a suit, but there were still a few candies in his pockets - formal and elegant, when wearing a suit, in order to avoid destroying the lines of the suit, they would empty all their pockets, not even the paper. Ryan doesn't take the usual path, which really makes people laugh.
Alfred could also depict that scene, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I should get to know him next time I have a chance." Alfred turned his head to look at the still closed studio door, and there was still no one else on the street, as if he was just chatting, and said, "You came so early today, you must be worried about the shoot for a while, right?"
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "What about you, did you come here so early to prepare, did you have other tasks on your shoulders?" It was only a little past nine o'clock, and the time for Alfred to arrive at the scene was too exaggerated.
"No, it's not, I just came early to play. Alfred waved his hand again and again, and when he saw Lan Li's puzzled gaze, he explained, "Although we are dragons, or extras, we also have passes and can come in for free. I usually come early and wander around the nearby studios to see how the rest of the crew is doing. Sometimes, unexpected circumstances arise and some job opportunities can be found. ”
Lan Li suddenly realized, "Then am I hindering your work now?" Lan Li looked left and right, looking for the direction where he came, and pointed to that location, "When we came over just now, we saw that the crew of 'Super Sense Detective' was preparing for filming. ”
"No, no, I've seen it in the past, and their cast is adequate. Alfred said bluntly, causing Lan Li to chuckle. He paused slightly, and then said, "Yesterday afternoon, when the work had just started, I saw Diesel sitting next to me and chatting with the members of the drama team, and the atmosphere was very lively. I wonder if they're talking about going on vacation together. ”
An inexplicable sentence, it sounded like there was no superfluous hint, but Lan Li caught the information at once. The deep meaning behind this sentence is really intriguing.
On the surface, Lan Li remained silent and said with a smile, "I guess they are discussing which bar to go to for recreation after finishing work." Alfred also smiled, and nodded repeatedly, "This guess is more reliable." ”
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
A low engine roar came, accompanied by the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the three of them raised their heads at the same time and looked over, Lan Li half-jokingly teased, "Early in the morning, those who have nothing to come out to hang out, add another one." The same words had very different meanings to the ears of Alfred and Nathan, and Alfred couldn't help but laugh, while Nathan couldn't help but laugh.
The car braked sharply in the middle of the road at random, and before the engine of the car could be turned off, the driver's door opened directly, and a figure immediately rushed down and strode over, "Lan Li! You're really here!
It was Paul Walker, who was wearing a simple white T-shirt with jeans, and didn't even take a jacket, and walked towards Lan Li angrily, which made Alfred and Nathan both stunned, and couldn't figure out what was going on, did Lan Li offend Paul?
Lan Li vaguely guessed a rough outline, and stood in place without the slightest panic, and then Paul was already in front of him, he gave Lan Li a big hug, and kept apologizing in his mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I should inquire about the news and inform you in advance." I didn't expect him to be so naïve, this kind of shoddy trick has long been outdated, okay?"
Lan Li could really feel Paul's worry and apology, which made Lan Li a little embarrassed and jerky.
Although the two of them had a relationship when they were climbing before, and Paul also contributed a lot in the process of Lan Li's participation in the work "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5", but the two of them have never really talked well, they can't be regarded as friends, and for Lan Li, they are just a little more familiar than strangers.
But Paul's sincerity and enthusiasm are unquestionable, and the purity and simplicity of making friends are completely different from the supremacy of interests in Hollywood, a vanity fair. This is even more true today.
Lan Li patted Paul on the back, and instead of responding directly, he gestured to Paul, "This is Alfred, this is Paul." Today, Alfred joins us on the shoot as an onlooker extra. Lan Li solemnly made an introduction, without hiding Alfred's true identity, and there was a little ridicule between his words—the black humor peculiar to the British.
Alfred took a small half step forward and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, I'm Crowd Fourteen. ”
This back-and-forth gag broke Paul's anger abruptly, and he couldn't help but smile, shook Alfred's right hand in a friendly way, and greeted him before he remembered, "Sorry, I was really rude just now, just because...... I...... Lan Li ...... "In a panic, Paul didn't know how to explain it, and finally turned into a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I understand, I understand perfectly. "I just have some things to take care of, and if I'm not mistaken, Studio 14 should have started at 9:30." The latter sentence was said to Lan Li, and he blinked his eyes and signaled, "Then I'll go and get busy first." It seemed that he was busier than Lan Li and Paul, which made everyone chuckle, "Let's work together again for this afternoon's shooting." ”
After speaking, Alfred did not pause, and turned away in a chic manner, and his unhurried back really had some "master" appearance.
Watching Alfred leave, Paul said confusedly, "Are you sure he's just an extra?"
Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle and gestured to Paul's car parked in the middle of the road, "Are you sure you don't park in the parking space? ”
Paul nodded in realization, said yes again and again, turned around and walked in the direction of his car, but after only two steps, he realized that something was wrong, turned back again, stood there and looked at Lan Li, his hands on his hips, showing his ...... Angry, helpless, still crying and laughing? In the end, he couldn't hold back, laughed, and sighed, "Lan Li!"
The moment Paul appeared, Lan Li knew that Paul must have figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and he was furious and indignant, and rushed directly to Universal Studios - he didn't even bring an agent, and there was no permit to enter and exit on the dashboard of the car, just to come and support him in the first place.
Lan Li admitted that he was a little moved in his heart. On the one hand, Paul is glad that Paul was not involved in this prank, and on the other hand, he is also glad that he has made a friend.
However, in Lan Li's opinion, in fact, this is not a big deal, even if he doesn't ask for help, he has countless ways to get back on the field, and he also makes the other party dumb and can't speak. Similar pranks are ten or a hundred times worse in the theater circle, and this is the case in London's West End and Broadway, and Lan Li has long been surprised.
Lan Li didn't want Paul to have an unpleasant quarrel with the crew for this little thing.
"Say, how do you know?" Lan Li took the initiative to cut to the chase.
After two consecutive interruptions just now, Paul's impulse gradually calmed down, and even most of his anger dissipated, looking at Lan Li with an indifferent face in front of him, he couldn't help but think back to the picture just now - if he wasn't dazzled by it, Lan Li and Alfred were talking happily and were not affected in the slightest.
Paul couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and laughed again, "You're really ......" The more I thought about it, the more funny I felt, Paul's smile bloomed brightly, and he took a deep breath, and then he explained simply, "I just received your call, and I thought it was very strange. You didn't say it, but things just got weird. ”
This was the first time Lan Li took the initiative to call him, and the content of the conversation was also very special, Paul couldn't help but think about it, and then made a few calls to the agent, the drama manager, and the producer to verify it.
"Then I made a few phone calls, and I learned that the crew's normal working hours are twelve o'clock, but they tell you that it's half past eight. Paul said this, still grinding his teeth, "It's a prank...... Paul took a deep breath and said, "Fan-led prank, they say, it's a tradition of the crew, and the rookie actors need to be taught some lessons, just like a brotherhood." But this kind of joke is really too low-level, not only does it not make any sense, but it also has no effect, it is simply a boring, naïve and boring trick. ”
"yes, I think so too. Lan Li nodded in affirmation, Vin Diesel, sure enough, it was Vin Diesel.
At the first meeting in Telluride, Lan Li could feel that he and Fan should not be good friends. Now, after Lan Li entered the crew, Fan directly gave him a dismissal, and proved to Lan Li that he was the well-deserved leader of the entire crew! Even Paul was not as strong as Fan's absolute strength. Fan is the producer of "Fast & Thrill 5", while Paul is not.
Paul looked at Lan Li's calm expression, "So, you don't care at all, do you?"
"Give me a reason I need to care. Lan Li's rhetorical question made Paul choke, and several reasons flashed in his mind, but in the end he gave up all of them, and these reasons could not be persuaded even by himself.
"Huh. Paul smiled and glanced at Lan Li, shook his head, and then laughed again, "Hehe." I couldn't help but shake my head again and again.
