1861 Empty Glove Wolf
"Either I'll quit the project or he'll fuck off. ”
Lan Li's understated words came out, but they created a huge effect of flat thunder, and Wallace almost choked on his own saliva: although he was looking forward to the exclusive, was it too exclusive and too fierce? He always felt as if he knew some secret that he shouldn't know, and then the back of his neck began to chill.
He swore that he was really a good citizen! He was serious, and he would take the initiative to help the old man cross the street!
Wallace tried to calm himself down, but it wasn't easy in the face of Lan Li's bombshell news. He now finally knew why no other peers were willing to provoke Lan Li, and he now finally knew why Honolulu had gathered more than forty paparazzi, but he had been in the business for less than two years and had been in the business for less than two years - he thought it was pie in the sky, but now it seemed that he might be just going to be crushed to death by the big pie.
God, is it too late for him to run away now?
Thinking about it, Wallace's expression was almost about to cry, and he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but the smile was even more hideous than crying and mourning, "...... Young Master Lanli, don't tease me, I'm just a small character, I can't do this kind of joke. ”
"Haha. Lan Li chuckled happily, "To be able to become a paparazzi's fighting spirit, if you are afraid that the news you broke is too strong and timid, then it is equivalent to missing 100 million, I think, you should be happy now, right?"
Wallace thought about it seriously: good ...... It seems to be right, too.
He was simply shocked by Lan Li's straightforwardness and calmness, who would have thought that Lan Li would directly expose himself like this? But after a serious and in-depth analysis, he actually had nothing to lose. Wait, why doesn't it feel like something is right, he always feels like he's missing something.
Lan Li can perceive the immaturity of the paparazzi in front of him, in fact, Lan Li hopes to face the old fritters, because of the excellent ability to calculate interests, so it is easier to negotiate the transaction; I don't know what kind of psychology Thomas found a rookie paparazzi.
What Lan Li doesn't know is that the old fritter paparazzi are actually a little timid and repulsive about this kind of single-handedly capturing Lan Li's exclusive work, no one "dares" to do this, and they may be swallowed by Lan Li if they are not careful. Despite the fact that the news about Lan Li's private life is worth a lot of money now, the paparazzi are more willing to act collectively — and such treatment is unique in the entire history of Hollywood.
Lan Li didn't think much about it at this time, and then said, and then firmly controlled the other party's attention, and silently completed the subtle hint, "Now, what I need you to do is to stand up and prove that your actions were instigated by someone behind your back, and he also paved the way for you to sneak into the crew and let you smuggle into the crew." It would be great if you could reveal the details of his deal with you. ”
"You're making me betray my employer. So, what good can I get?" Wallace finally came back to his senses at this point, and sensed something was wrong in his mind.
In fact, Lan Li's words are a bit informative, and the deep meaning hidden behind them is worth studying, but now Wallace can only understand the most direct meaning from the surface tension, and he needs to keep himself up with the rhythm of Lan Li's thinking, although it is very difficult.
"Benefits?" Lan Li chuckled, "You've become a scoop yourself, that's the benefit, don't you realize it?"
Wallace looked at Lan Li in confusion, he always felt that something was still not right, but he couldn't say why, "What if I refuse?"
"Don't be so naïve. I've got all the evidence, and even if you don't say it, I can still do what I planned, and you haven't thought about it, how did I find out that you were on the set and invited you over?" Lan Li's rhetorical question, no mockery or disdain, made Wallace's cheeks heat slightly—he felt like he had fallen into the net.
But Wallace tried to struggle, "But you still need my help. ”
"No, no, no, your understanding is not quite right. Lan Li shook his head slightly, the gentlemanly smile on his face always hung on the corner of his mouth, and a sense of closeness was invisibly generated, "Let's see what happens if you don't help." The news will also break out, I will also accuse someone of creating disharmony in the crew, I will also break the news of the evidence at hand, and then all the focus will be attracted to the infighting of the crew, then, when the time comes, the person who has mastered the key truth will be the only exclusive revelation in the United States. ”
That'...... "I?" Wallace suddenly realized.
Then Wallace raised his head and saw Lan Li's gentle smile, "You are doing yourself a favor, as for whether you are willing to say it or not, it will only affect you, and the course of the matter will not be affected." ”
The actual situation is naturally not so simple: the paparazzi were led to Honolulu by Andy and Lydia, and without Thomas's intervention, they would have wanted to deliberately detonate the conflict as planned, and they would have needed to do more foreshadowing, and they would have to take more risks, but now that Thomas has taken the initiative, things have changed-
If Andy is acting rashly now, then Lan Li can take advantage of the situation to accuse Thomas of his unscrupulous means, and Thomas can in turn accuse Lan Li of trying to stir up the scandal.
In other words, in the absence of direct evidence, everything depends on one mouth, and gossip only grows louder. In a short period of time, the negative impact of the crew is inevitable.
According to Andy's original plan, they used this incident to force the palace, because Thomas's behavior has affected the filming process of the movie, and the final loss is Universal Pictures itself, and they will not ask Universal Pictures to really kick Thomas out of the crew, just let Thomas leave Honolulu and stop interfering with the crew's filming work at close range.
Andy is confident that Ron Meyer will make the right choice.
But Nina's note gave Lan Li another idea: the crew is not monolithic, so if the paparazzi who infiltrated the crew today can rebel, things may change dramatically.
First of all, the accusations against Thomas have changed from chasing after the wind to being conclusive, and secondly, those voices dissatisfied with Thomas within the crew may appear, whether it is breaking the news to the paparazzi or staying within Universal Pictures, as long as the top management knows, and even Wall Street investors know, Thomas's prestige will inevitably be shaken - of course, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Thomas's foundation cannot be uprooted at one time, but through the accumulation of a little bit of distrust began to eat away and corrod.
The plan to rebel against the paparazzi is a bit dangerous, first, Lan Li doesn't have too many chips for the paparazzi to support him in turn, and the price is likely to be the need to sacrifice his private life, but this is also what Lan Li is unwilling, if he can, he wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf - yes, Lan Li is so greedy, and wants to attack Thomas and refuses to make sacrifices; second, if the paparazzi not only did not rebel, but also broke the news of Lan Li's behavior, the situation may be reversed.
But Lan Li hesitated again and again and decided to give it a go, and won the name "Lan Li Hall" to be more appealing and influential than "Thomas Toole". Passive beating is never as effective as taking the initiative, and Lan Li is willing to try it.
If he could, Lan Li hoped that he would be an old fritter, because the exchange of interests would be much simpler and things would be easier to control, but now he is a rookie, so he can only create traps and guide him step by step.
"You're doing yourself a favor. Wallace chewed on these words carefully, and he always felt that something was not right, but all the ways of thinking in his mind had entered the framework under the guidance of Lan Li, and his mind was bound to a certain extent, and he could not see any other possibilities for a short time, which made him very confused.
Wallace hesitated, "What if I still refuse to speak?"
"Then you can leave now, I'll follow the plan, and then you can see if things go as expected. Lan Li said confidently.
Looking at Lan Li's calm expression, Wallace suddenly remembered one thing: Universal Pictures executives supported Lan Li, not only offered a record-breaking salary, but also gave Lan Li huge power, which was also the root cause of Thomas's dissatisfaction, but the problem is that Lan Li is now supported by Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, and Ron Meyer, while Thomas Toole is alone in an unfavorable situation.
If things do break out, it goes without saying whether Universal Pictures will support Lanley or Thomas?
Wallace originally just wanted to stir up the scandal, and didn't think about these aspects at all, but now he had to think about it deeply, and then he exclaimed, but what was wrong? "Why do I think you're cheating on me?"
"Haha, do you think I'm lying?" Lan Li was still calm and laughing, and there was really no reason to doubt the elegant gentleman's image—
The only point is that all the senior management of Universal Pictures supports Lan Li, which is an illusion created by Universal Pictures on its own initiative, indicating that they attach importance to Lan Li and win the support of the audience, but if there is a real conflict of interest, Lan Li and Thomas are at most evenly matched, and even Thomas, who has the economic lifeline, can still have a slight upper hand - the situation before and after Lan Li signed "Jurassic World" was already different, and the momentum created in order to squeeze Diesel at the beginning, With Lan Li joining the crew, there is no deterrent for the time being.
Wallace didn't need to know that, though.
Lan Li showed a gentle smile to the paparazzi in front of her, like a wolf grandmother waving a lollipop at little Lori.
