Looking at Ryan's bewildered appearance, Lan Li stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Four o'clock in the afternoon, don't mistake the time, if I didn't see you on the red carpet, I would definitely report you and Michelle to reporters." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Buried Alive" is not a high-profile movie, although Toronto is the first stop of the world premiere of the film, but they did not get the highest treatment, the highlight of the premiere at 8 o'clock every night is completely wishful thinking, the premiere is scheduled for half past four in the afternoon, four o'clock to start the red carpet, after the broadcast, reporters will rush to the main venue, for tonight's "Thieves in the City" North American premiere.

Without hesitation, Ryan gave Lan Li a middle finger - he and Michelle were dating, and said through gritted teeth, "You'd better not remember the time wrong, or you can't blame me." ”

Sending Ryan away, Lan Li walked to the Xiaoice box in the room and said something for a morning, now his throat is so dry that he can't do it, "Is everything going well on the journey?"

"Well, it's just Toronto. Andy tried to find a spot on the couch, looking left and right, and finally picked up the bathrobe to find an empty seat, "Your life in Toronto is really exciting, and in just four days, I feel like I can't keep up." ”

"What?" Lan Li took a bottle of sleep and poured a big gulp down his throat, "Ah, you said Ryan? I thought he was a rigid and stiff guy, but after talking, I realized that Canadians are much more interesting than I thought. ”

"Of course, Ryan is a part, but not the most important. Andy recalled the phone call just now, which was a bit informative, and he sorted it out a little, "Are you sure there is nothing else?"

Lan Li sat down on the sofa next to him, paused in the action of drinking water, showed a puzzled look, thought about it carefully, but still didn't have any idea, "I've been watching movies for the past few days." "Other than that, nothing happened.

Andy looked at Lan Li's expression seriously, and couldn't help but remind, "Hint: Natalie Portman." ”

Lan Li was stunned, first showing a look of sudden realization, but then turned into confusion, "I had a relationship with her, but that's all, she doesn't even know my name." ”

"Is that really it?" Andy had a meaningful smile on his face, clearly not believing Lan Li's words.

Lan Li thought seriously for a moment, but still didn't have any thoughts, "Did she say anything?"

As he left, he tricked Natalie, but judging from the news of the past three days, it didn't work, and maybe even the reporters didn't hear the meaning of his words - one of the reporters had been following him for the past three days, and if he hadn't known that the other party was a reporter, he would almost have thought he was going to meet a stalker. So, Lan Li still couldn't think of any reason why Natalie had any connection with him.

"She did say something, but I'm more curious about what you said to her. Andy laughed genuinely this time, but instead of continuing to sell off, he revealed the answer, "Her agent called me and said that Natalie wanted to date you. ”

Francis Parker is Natalie Portman's agent.

Lan Li was indifferent to such exciting news, as if he was just talking about a stranger, which made Andy a little disappointed, and could only continue to explain, "To be precise, it's a contract relationship." Without waiting for Lan Li to ask, he explained.

"That is, say in front of the media that you're dating, and then we'll arrange for some reporters, take pictures of your date, make a schedule, when to hold hands, when to kiss, when to send her home, when to spend the night, and then when to break up. Although it is said that after the door is closed, when the reporter can't see it, you don't need to cooperate with the performance, and you can do what you want to do when you spend the night, and you don't need to actually have a relationship, but it's better to be able to rub some sparks in public, and today's reporters are not easy to fool. ”

Lan Li frowned slightly, "You mean, she invited me to have a fake relationship with her, but she wanted to deceive reporters and the public in a real way?"

"Yes. Andy nodded and gave an affirmation, "From September to March next year." This is the preliminary plan. I believe that with the acting skills of the two of you, there should be no problem. However, if you do a fake show, it's best to let me know in advance so I don't get scrambling. ”

So, life in the world depends on acting skills, is that what it means?

"Why me?" Lan Li didn't look surprised, but chuckled.

Andy looked at the deep meaning and playfulness in Lan Li's smile, and suddenly realized that Lan Li seemed to know something, "Yes, I'm also curious, why you?" When Francis called, he was the one who was most surprised.

Generally speaking, in order to cooperate with the promotion of commercial films, the possibility of the male and female protagonists signing a contract to fall in love is relatively large, from before the start of the film to the end of the publicity period, step by step arrange for the camp for the two people's "relationship gradually warms up", and then let the media and the audience have a sense of participation, which plays the best direct publicity effect.

However, now is the Internet era, and the lives of celebrities are really put under a magnifying glass, so the risk of contractual love is too great, and it is easy to show its feet, and film companies and public relations companies are not willing to operate, unless the hero and heroine really spark, or the explosion point of movie publicity has been poor to a certain extent, this is the alternative.

But now, Natalie and Lan Li, two people who have nothing to do with each other, are suddenly brought together, and Lan Li is still a newcomer. In other words, in this contract love, Lan Li is the one who "benefits", and it is easy to be quickly understood by the audience, and the popularity and recognition will rise sharply. Everything is weird.

But Andy doesn't care too much about this kind of popularity. Because Lan Li at this stage is a typical powerful actor, strength is the best way for the audience to know him, not such lace news - this kind of scandal of high women and low men can easily position the man on the vase.

Andy is even more curious about the reason why Francis made such a proposal - Francis naturally did not want to reveal more information, but only asked Andy if he was interested, and then sold a pass to say that they could have an in-depth conversation after the "buried alive" premiere today.

"That's not a question I can answer. Lan Li felt a little ridiculous and couldn't help but chuckle, "Natalie is in a relationship with Benjamin Miepide right now. ”

"Benjamin Millepide?" Andy repeated the name, his brain racing a few times, and said in surprise, "The choreography of 'Black Swan'?"

"Yes. Lan Li nodded, and then briefly recounted the encounter that day.

However, Lan Li did not mention the skirmish between the two people, on the one hand, there was absolutely no need to worry about it, and on the other hand, he felt that there was no direct connection. But Andy was unwilling to let go easily, and asked every detail in detail, until the first moment of the meeting between the two people was clarified, and then he fell into deep thought.

"Give me a moment. After thinking about it, Andy took out his phone, plugged in the charger, and started making calls.

Lan Li saw that there was nothing to do here, so he was busy with his own affairs, and he didn't care about it.

This phone call, Andy went on for more than 90 minutes, the last call was to Francis, the two discussed for nearly 40 minutes, and finally failed to reach a consensus, but finally understood the ins and outs of the matter - Francis still not completely told the truth, but it was enough for Andy.

Standing up, he looked around for Lan Li's figure, and finally found his target on the balcony. Lan Li actually sat on the balcony reading a book, and his complacent appearance made Andy laugh dumbly, "Even if you're not interested in Natalie Portman, at least you should be preparing for the premiere in the afternoon, this is your first film, and it's your first time in Toronto, isn't it?"

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders, "The first time can never be counted, instead of celebrating every 'first', it is better to treat every future as a first time and truly enjoy it." He looked up and smiled at Andy, "What's more, there's no way to prepare for the premiere, isn't it? ”

"I can't argue with that. Andy sat down across from Lan Li. Although Andy was not at the scene at the time and could not know the true and accurate situation, it can still be speculated that Natalie is facing the current dilemma, and a big reason is that Lan Li has dug a big hole, but now Lan Li in front of him is completely calm and calm, obviously not a guy to mess with, which makes Andy feel refreshed.

"Natalie's relationship with Benjamin can't be discovered, which may affect the Oscar PR after the 'black swan'. So, they need a shield. As it stands, you are the most suitable person. Because, only three days ago, you had a 'scandal', didn't you?" Andy summed up the situation briefly, always with a relaxed smile on his face, "For them, it can divert the media focus, and for us, ......"

Andy paused slightly, but unfortunately, he still couldn't get Lan Li to take the bait, so he could only continue, "You can win enough exposure, not only for 'burying alive', but also for your popularity." So, it's a win-win situation. Of course, now they need our help, we can negotiate the terms again, maybe we can get you a good source, this is Toronto, it's a good time. If you give your nod, this afternoon's premiere can be the first place to start. ”

"Are you asking for my opinion?" Lan Li noticed Andy's pause, "I thought these decisions were all made by the agent. ”

"Then if I nod my head and say yes, will you cooperate?" Andy did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

Lan Li's eyebrows rose slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth carried a hint of banter, "I don't think so." ”
