1846 The wood is complete
The wood has been completed, and what needs to be thought about now is not to redeem, but to solve. Obviously, Thomas Toole is not ready to stop, so there is no need to keep Lan Li.
Setting up a dining car, opening up the van, and opening up this luxury to the entire crew is the first step, and at the same time, all expenses are paid from Lan Li's salary, rather than wasting "crew resources" for "personal gain", which is the second step.
"Rest assured, I should be able to afford it. Lan Li was still in the mood to joke, and his relaxed tone revealed his comfort.
But Patrick and Christopher didn't have the heart to respond. At this time, hearing Lan Li's little humor, Patrick made his own interpretation, "Hehe, of course, of course. The laughter was a little stiff, and his expression was a little jerky, as if he didn't take Lan Li's "invitation" seriously.
Sometimes, top celebrities pretend to be kind in this way: My van can be used as a common room, but in reality, it's just for show, maybe once or twice, and more often as their own private lounge.
Lan Li can capture the deep meaning of Patrick's words - see, even Patrick has taken it for granted that Lan Li is now inflated, and these van requests are from Lan Li, even though they seem outrageous. It's just that the difference between Patrick and Nina is that he is a producer, and he takes it for granted and doesn't need to make a fuss, while the behind-the-scenes staff led by Nina, their thoughts are another matter.
This time, Lan Li didn't say anything in a low-key manner, but emphasized with a smile, "I'm serious." ”
Patrick could feel the sincerity in Lan Li's expression and eyes - if it was polite, then there was no need to continue to insist on it, "But...... This is your van. ”
Compared to Christopher, Patrick still hadn't fully reacted, and the words Lan Li had just said still hadn't really fermented the deep meaning, and his mind was still at the level that Thomas wanted to create, so naturally he couldn't understand Lan Li's intentions.
"It's a van in my name, but it's not mine. Lan Li said, but Patrick still didn't understand the difference, "Now, this is the crew's van, and it's still not mine." ”
Patrick's temperament is a little anxious, in the dialogue between you and me, I have not been able to decipher the hidden meaning of the words for the first time, and now after Lan Li's interpretation and emphasis twice, he finally reacted - just these two tongue twisters-like words emphasized one thing: Lan Li didn't know anything about the van.
"Oh. Oh!" Patrick suddenly realized, and the question about Thomas was about to blurt out, but before he could say it, he braked urgently to control himself, and after finally reacting, the thoughts in his mind became active, and Patrick's expression became meaningful, but he still hesitated, "Are you sure?"
From Patrick's point of view, no matter what the situation is behind the scenes, at least Lan Li can enjoy it, and such treatment is the best reward for the pinnacle of his career.
Lan Li knew that others couldn't understand his position and thoughts, and he didn't force it, and said with a smile, "Yes, Patrick, I'm sure. ”
Patrick didn't ask any further, and said with some smirk, "It's your choice." He still couldn't understand Lan Li's decision, and vaguely felt that Lan Li was a bit of a Najo - after tossing for so long, but it turned out to be open for use, even for personal image, it was completely unnecessary, not to mention, it took so much effort to build a luxury van, but it turned out to be used by the staff? If it was for Lan Li, there was no problem, but it would be a little painful for the staff, although Lan Li had already said that he would pay for all the expenses.
However, Patrick only sighed, and then his expression stretched, "Then, the members of our crew are blessed and can enjoy it." ”
Lan Li responded with a smile, "They deserve it, you know, their work is also an important part of the crew." ”
In the face of such high-sounding words, Patrick still had some disdain in his heart, and always felt that Lan Li was a little hypocritical, but he still didn't say it on the surface, just nodded in affirmation.
Then, Patrick and Christopher exchanged a few more polite pleasantries, and the two of them didn't stay too long and got up to leave.
When he came outside and made sure that his footsteps had entered a safe range, Lan Li should not be able to hear it, Patrick asked Christopher suspiciously, "What do you mean by Lan Li?"
Christopher vaguely guessed the truth behind the scenes, in fact, it was just two bigwigs calculating each other, Thomas directly burned two million in order to frame Lan Li, which is also generous, and Lan Li gritted his teeth and directly signed a check for two million in order to deal with it, which is also decisive, but these words are not something he can arrange, or it is more appropriate for Patrick to find the truth by himself.
"I don't know. Christopher looked blank.
Patrick thought about it seriously, he didn't think Christopher could understand, and in the end he didn't have a clue, so he couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "Big names are trouble."
In Patrick's view, Lan Li's insistence is purely a façade project, a meaningless toss. Even though he was vaguely aware that Thomas was playing an important role behind this, he didn't think it was necessary for Lan Li to refuse so coyly, at least for him, the van was a bit too much but not outrageous, and Lan Li could accept it calmly.
But he is not a big-name actor, so he naturally can't understand their thoughts, which is why the idea of "big names are trouble" came up. However, Patrick is only complaining and complaining, not to the extent of rejection or contempt, because he also knows how important fame and prestige are to these big-name actors, and they must cherish their feathers, not to mention, judging from the awards season that has just ended, Lan Li does need to be more cautious.
The reason is reasonable, Patrick still couldn't help but scratch his head vigorously: as an executive producer, this is the case, and he must meet all the requirements of those big-name actors to "make something out of nothing", and the workload has increased inexplicably. However, Patrick thinks it's necessary for him to talk to Thomas and see what the hell is going on - why doesn't Lan Li know anything about the van?
……
Seeing off Patrick and Christopher, Lan Li didn't immediately start busy, but sat quietly, taking a serious look at the van he was in.
Although Thomas built the van in the most top-of-the-line and luxurious way, he unfortunately didn't grasp a single theme at all—or he didn't care about it—and the whole van looked luxurious, but it was just a pile of gold bumps made of expensive materials, with no real matching and design to speak of.
Two million, just smashed directly into the water. Lan Li is not sure whether Thomas really hates him, or if Thomas really doesn't care about the little money - if the latter, the future investment project of Legendary Pictures is really worrying. But that's not the part Lan Li needs to worry about, he just needs to focus on the work "Jurassic World".
His mind slowly settled, and the thoughts in his mind gradually became clear, Lan Li took out his mobile phone and began to make calls - opening the luxury van to the crew was just the first step in Lan Li's counterattack plan, obviously, his counterattack had just begun.
"Hey, Steven. Lan Li made the first call.
"Hey, little one, where are you now? I still haven't heard from you in Honolulu, don't tell me you decided to run away at the last minute? An old voice came from the other end of the phone, a little hoarse, as if a mouthful of thick phlegm had not been spit out, so that the voice echoed in the lungs.
Lan Li laughed briskly, "Ha, you should confirm the email, haven't you received the internal report from the crew yet?" Your news is a little late, I have arrived at the crew today, and I am ready to go to work now." ”
Steven Spielberg, that's who Blue Lee's first call was to.
Lan Li prepares to file a lawsuit.
Yes, Lan Li is ready to complain to his teachers and parents when he encounters something unhappy like a primary school student, but Lan Li's complaint is still more "advanced", and what he wants to complain about is not the trap that Thomas created with the van, but another thing: the scandal.
"Do you know about this?" After the greetings, Lan Li went straight to the point and told Thomas about his plan to create an affair, and then asked Steven.
Steven was slightly stunned, and then his voice became rough, not hiding his annoyance and unhappiness, "Cut, what is that guy thinking about again." This is not a question sentence but an exclamation sentence, Steven immediately understood, "Don't worry, I know your character, such a propaganda plan is definitely not suitable for you, he just ...... He just wanted to emphasize his presence. ”
In fact, Steven's original idea was: he just wants to answer you. But then I thought about it, at this time, I still tried to avoid intensifying the conflict, so the words that came to my mouth became a little softer.
But Lan Li didn't mind, this was the purpose of his complaint: everyone should know in their hearts. If Steven knows about Thomas's scandal plan, then Lan Li must take a firm stand, but there is a high probability that Steven does not know about it, then Lan Li must let him know the situation he is facing and push Thomas in front of Steven.
Lan Li really has no interest in the intrigue for power, he really hopes that he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the filming, and as for Thomas's little calculations and careful eyes, Lan Li hopes that Steven can stand up and control the situation before it gets worse.
Of course, Lan Li did not mean that Rastewin was a backer.
