Lan Li walked to table fourteen, with a smile on his face, and blurted out his familiar words reflexively, "Good evening......" But seeing Tom and Steven in front of him - only three hours ago, the old faces who had just met in the theater, such a coincidence was really too unexpected, so Lan Li's words paused slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness and elusiveness in his smile, and a question mark popped up in his head, but the words were still habitually finished, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Steven looked down at the menu, and Tom was smiling and saying, "The food here isn't the most famous, didn't you make it clear when Woody recommended it?" The intimate and casual attitude didn't show that the two of them had a heated argument during the audition just now. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hearing the waiter's greeting, Tom raised his head and opened his mouth, but the words that were about to come out stopped at his lips, and it was obvious that he had not expected such an unexpected encounter. For a moment, Tom didn't know what to say, and before he could say anything, his smile rose widely.

"A serving of creamy truffle pasta...... And then ......" Steven didn't notice Tom's momentary pause, raised his head from the menu, and began to order, and then he also saw Lan Li standing in front of him, and as soon as the words stopped, the text of the order disappeared, "Why are you here?" Steven asked reflexively, his face sank, and his brows were tightly entangled, "You must know that your behavior like this is not good for auditions, not to mention, stalking is never an act to be encouraged." ”

Trace?

With Steven's pivotal position in the industry, he has naturally seen countless big scenes, and it is not uncommon for fans to follow him, and it is common for auditioners to do anything to get the role, so he did not panic, but threw the menu on the table and scolded loudly.

Lan Li didn't laugh angrily, and put the menu in his hand back in the apron in front of him, "Mr. Spielberg, I think you misunderstood, this is where I work." If you have any complaints about my service, please complain to my immediate supervisor. The tone of neither humility nor arrogance brought out a hint of mockery, especially when the two sides were standing on one side and sitting on the other, and the condescending situation gave full play to Lan Li's height advantage.

Looking at Steven's stiffening facial expression, Lan Li pointed in the direction of the bar behind him and said politely, "Do you need me to inform the manager?"

"Poof. Tom didn't give Steven face at all, he just laughed, broke the short deadlock, and then patted Steven the shoulder, but he didn't know whether this action was comforting or teasing, "No, no." Tom waved his hand at Lan Li and rejected his proposal, "We just wanted to find a place to have dinner, and Woody Allen recommended this bar, and he said there was a different style of show every night?"

Steven, who was sitting next to him, had an ugly expression. After more than 20 years in Hollywood, Steven is now the top giant, he has long been accustomed to being in the top position to give orders, and the first reaction when he saw Lan Li just now naturally thought of this afternoon's audition - and it was the audition that triggered a dispute between him and Tom, but he didn't expect that he made an oolong. That's embarrassing.

Instead of paying attention to Steven, Lan Li turned to Tom and expertly introduced, "Tonight is a folk performance, Jason Mayez will give a thirty-minute performance, and a local indie folk singer in Harlan will give the opening warm-up performance. There are still ...... performances," Lan Li looked back at the clock on the stage, "Twenty-five minutes are about to start." ”

"Wow, that sounds good. Tom didn't pay any attention to Steven, and sighed to himself, "So, what do you recommend for dinner?" I know that there is always a myriad of delicacies to be found in the bars and restaurants of Greenwich Village, but for us outsiders, we don't know anything. ”

Tom's humor seemed to be squeezing Steven all the time, and Lan Li's eyes could even see Steven's face like the bottom of the pot, glaring at Tom fiercely, but Tom didn't buy it at all, which was really quite joyful.

"It's up to you. "If you want to concentrate on the show, I'd recommend something easy like our chef Jack's Submarine Sandwich, which is the best in all of New York, and paired with some French fries and Munich stouts, it's going to be a great night." ”

Tom's satisfied smile was given by Lan Li's brisk and lively introduction, but Steven sat next to him with a stiff face, "But if you don't mind watching the show while eating, then cream truffle pasta is a good choice, and when I was at work today, I heard that the French black truffle we had scheduled arrived in the morning." Steven looked up, and then saw Lan Li's polite and gentle smile, and it was clear that this was said to him-

This left Steven a little embarrassed. He is a big man in the industry, but he is calculating, and he is not even as good as a fledgling rookie actor.

"Other than that, today's chef's recommended dish is lamb chops stewed in red wine. Jack told me that he was feeling really good today. Lan Li's brisk introduction made people feel uncomfortable, and at the same time, their index fingers moved.

Tom chuckled, "Steven, what do you say?"

At this time, Steven gradually returned to normal, after all, he was still old enough, "Please give me a creamy truffle pasta." There was a little more politeness and respect in the words, which could be regarded as an indirect apology to Lan Li.

"Then I'll make lamb chops in red wine. Tom immediately made a decision, handing the menu on the table to Lan Li, "Also, please pick a bottle of red wine to match, thank you." Seeing Lan Li paused slightly, Tom added an additional explanation, "We believe in your choice, after all, what you just introduced determines our dinner menu." ”

Lan Li bowed slightly politely, "I'll go through the reference suggestions of professionals." This humor made Tom laugh heartily, and even the corners of Steven's mouth couldn't help but relax slightly.

After a while, Lan Li brought the red wine, and he took the lead in handing the red wine bottle to Steven.

Steven looked carefully at the label of the red wine, and raised the tail of his eyebrows slightly, unexpectedly, the choice of blue gift was eye-catching - Barolo (Barolo), this is a red wine from Italy, known by many as the greatest red wine in Italy, because of its strong tannins, Barolo needs to be served with the same food, especially the heavy meat and pasta are the most suitable, the alcohol and food will complement each other, it is a match made in heaven.

Generally speaking, in a high-end restaurant, the choice of red wine is the most test of a person's quality and self-cultivation, the more upper-class society values, different occasions, different dishes, different objects, different atmospheres, the choice will be different. The bottle of red wine chosen by Lan Li is moderately priced, properly functional, and impeccable.

This really made Steven look at Lan Li with admiration.

Tom leaned over, took a closer look, and his eyes showed a glint of appreciation, and raised his head to look at Lan Li, "Excellent choice." ”

Lan Li felt that it was nothing, the life of this life, from childhood to adulthood, was to receive aristocratic elite education, and red wine was only the most basic link. Choosing a wine is not a difficult task for him. However, Lan Li still accepted the compliment and closed his chin with a smile, "I hope you like it." ”

Then, Lan Li took the red wine again, uncorked the bottle on the spot, waited for Steven to taste it, nodded in confirmation, and after he filled the red wine for the two guests, he turned around and left.

Looking at Lan Li's back as he left, Steven thought thoughtfully. Because of the character of Eugene, he himself was born in the middle class, and it can even be said that he was an elite class, and this elegance precipitated in his bones is a very important part of the role, in comparison, Joseph lacks this temperament.

Turning his head, Steven saw Tom's smug smile, "What now, what do you think now?" The meaning of the words is: How about Lan Lilai playing Eugene?

Steven rolled his eyes, "I still stick to my original opinion. Who knows if the bartender picked this bottle of red wine for him. Tom also knew that Steven's words were a strong argument, not only because of the red wine, but also because of the professionalism and calmness shown in the whole process of Lan Li, that kind of temperament was irreplaceable, but Tom wisely did not continue to press, shrugged his shoulders and passed.

Picking up the red wine glass in his hand, Steven couldn't help but take another sip, and it must be admitted that after a busy day's work, a little alcohol does make people feel a lot more relaxed.

As the night wore on, the Pioneer Village was now 90 percent attendance, which was a rare Thursday night.

The bar's famous live show is well deserved, not by casual bar singers, but by true music lovers, who perform more professionally than those tens of thousands of concerts, and even the warm-up performances have sparked a roar of applause, so it's no wonder that even a singer as famous as Jason is willing to perform.

The atmosphere of the bar scene is getting hotter and hotter, the audience is fascinated by the performance, and as time progresses, people are more and more looking forward to Jason's appearance, and the night gradually becomes more and more gorgeous as time progresses.

But at this time, the backstage of the bar was in a mess, Lan Li put the beer mug he had just received into the washing pool, and there was a rush shout in his ears, "Help ......" turned his head and saw Neil's sweaty anxious expression, "Lan Li, help, where are you going, we are looking for you in all corners of the bar." But without waiting for Lan Li to answer, Neil directly dragged Lan Li out, and continued to exclaim, "Help, we need you! I mean, now, right now, right now!"
