Buzz.

Buzz.

The roar of the engines of the aircraft lingers in the ears, the cabin space of the short-haul flight is slightly noisy, the absence of night mode also keeps people awake, and the sound of breathless conversation is secretly surging in the cabin, and when you turn your head, you can see the endless darkness outside the window, like a big ship sailing on the sea in the middle of the night, accompanied by the sound of the waves, but in the night lost its direction and drifted quietly.

Nathan Preece tried to concentrate himself, turned on the reading lamp, and concentrated on flipping through the materials in his hand, but his thoughts were always a little scattered, his frowning brows had unconcealed worry, and the whole person seemed a little irritable, and there was a soft cough and a turning movement in his ears, he immediately threw the items in his hand aside, stood up in a panic, and leaned out to the other side of the aisle.

However, the baffle blocked all view, and Nathan was unable to catch any movement, but he was able to attract the attention of the flight attendant, who walked over lightly but neatly, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Pree, is there anything I can help you with?"

Nathan glanced at the seat next to him, shook his head silently, and then whispered, "Notify me in advance before the plane is about to land." ”

The flight attendant bowed his head in understanding, and then turned away lightly again.

Nathan didn't sit down again, still staring nervously at the seat next to him, worry lingering, and then a low voice came from behind him, "Don't worry, Lan Li knows what he's doing." ”

It was Roy Lockley, and they were flying in the direction of the Magic City at this time.

The North American premiere of "Interstellar" is in full swing, and Warner Bros. obviously has more ambitions for the global box office of the film

From London, Paris to Berlin, from Singapore, Tokyo to Seoul, from Hong Kong, Taiwan/North to Mo/Capital, in just two weeks, a total of 13 cities in 10 countries on four continents have been arranged to promote the trip, and the density of the itinerary has reached a vomiting level, and they can be seen in almost every corner of the world, and the average stay time in each city is within 12 hours, making full use of every minute and every second to carry out publicity.

The mighty promotional itinerary has finally come to the last stop: the magic capital, where the crew will spend two days and one night, in fact, strictly speaking, it is less than thirty-six hours, and then Lan Li will end all the promotional trips, go directly from the magic capital to Honolulu, return to the "Jurassic World" crew, and put into filming again.

The "Interstellar" crew is large enough and lively enough, but not all the actors' schedules can fit, so the lineup for each stop is different.

For example, in London, except for the platform where Lan Li and Nolan teamed up, the other leading actors were all absent, but many of Lan Li's actors and friends in the UK attended the premiere, such as Paris, in addition to Lan Li, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, Timothée Chalamet and others joined the promotional lineup.

There is also the magic capital, the iron triangle combination of Lan Li, Nolan and Anne will land at the premiere.

Similarly, the same is true for Lan Li himself, because of the filming schedule of "Jurassic World", Lan Li's promotional trip ends in the magic capital, but Nolan and Anne will continue to travel to South America to join Cassie Affleck, Michael Kane and Jessica Chastain to continue the film promotion cycle.

The whole promotion will finally end in Sydney, Australia, and at that time, Lan Li will also need to ask the crew for two days off to travel from Honolulu to Sydney to complete the final stop of publicity.

The whole propaganda trip was too dense and too busy, because of excessive fatigue, Lan Li's body was slightly unwell, and he had some cough when he left Berlin.

At first, it was just a small cold, and Lan Li didn't pay much attention to it; but after arriving in Asia, the density of the publicity itinerary was raised to a higher level, and the fatigue broke out when he frequently went in and out between the air-conditioned room and the hot outdoors; the most direct thing is that he transferred three cities in Tai/North yesterday morning, Hong Kong/Hong Kong in the evening, and finally took a red-eye flight to the magic capital, which also made Lan Li's situation more and more serious, and even some low-grade fever.

Fortunately, the seats in the first class cabin can lie flat independently, and after boarding, Lan Li fell asleep groggy.

This time to the magic capital, Lan Li, Anne, and Nolan were very low-key, and did not attract any attention among the passengers on the same flight, but the flight attendants still learned the news as soon as possible, and the captain and purser had a complete list of passengers in their hands, which also made the first class gather a lot of attention between the comings and goings.

Of course, the flight attendants all noticed Lan Li's physical discomfort, but they still maintained their professionalism, did not rush forward to disturb Lan Li, and did not take amateur actions such as candid photography or recording, but made every effort to ensure that Lan Li could have a quiet and stable rest environment;

Nathan's real concern was the rest of the intensive trip, and he wasn't sure if Lan Li's physical condition would be able to make it up.

At this time, hearing Roy's words, Nathan still couldn't hold back his anxiety after all, took a detour to Roy's side, and squatted down next to his seat, "But I don't understand, why Lan Li is willing to fulfill this promotional trip, such a dense itinerary simply calls Lan Li as a rookie actor who has just entered the industry, Andy lost his temper and directly rejected Warner Bros.'s proposal, but Lan Li himself nodded and agreed." ”

Similar to "Harry Potter" or "The Avengers" of such magnitude of works, the movie promotion itinerary is very intensive, but the top actors are not involved in the whole process, on the one hand, considering the intensity of the itinerary, rather than focusing on the attack, it is better to cast a comprehensive net, but to expand the publicity effect; on the other hand, considering the degree of the actor's big name, the most typical is the Chinese market, "The Avengers" From the first part of the series to the third part, the amount of actors and casts in the imperial capital has gradually risen, and the more important the market, the heavier the publicity lineup.

The same should be true of "Interstellar".

But the actual situation is that Warner Bros. treated the Blue Rite as a universal white flower oil, smeared it everywhere, and arranged the short two-week publicity gap of the Blue Rite to make people breathless, eager to squeeze all the surplus value of the Blue Rite, such a stupid act was strongly rejected by Andy.

To this end, Andy even communicated directly with several middle and senior managers of Warner Bros. by phone, expressing strong anger with a strong and iron fist, and rejecting the entire publicity proposal without maneuver.

Warner Bros. did not dare to go head-to-head with Andy, and they ordered the publicity team to revise the publicity plan.

But after Lan Li learned about this, he nodded lightly and promised that he would not participate in the whole promotion, but he was still willing to fully cooperate in the free time, so Lan Li missed the premieres in Barcelona and Rome, attended the promotional itinerary in Paris and Berlin, and then missed the premieres in Seoul, Singapore and Tokyo, but attended the premieres in China, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and the whole promotional itinerary was still so dense that it made people vomit.

Because of the publicity itinerary, Andy, who was opposed, and Roy, who was supporting, also had a quarrel, but after all, it was decided according to Lan Li's wishes.

Roy folded the "Times" in his hand, thought about it seriously, and then said to Nathan, "Do you know why I want to be the manager of Lanli?"

What was the problem, Nathan was confused, but he still nodded, "I know, when you were hiking in the wilderness, Lan Li reached out to you?"

"Ha, yes, but no. Roy laughed, "He did help me during that hike in the wilderness, but I definitely didn't want to work for him to repay the favor, it's the twenty-first century, there are many ways to repay the favor, and selling myself to work for him is not the best choice." ”

Nathan didn't laugh.

Roy didn't mind, he was still lazy, "When we met in the wild, he asked me why I thought of hiking alone, because I wanted to find the answer to life, and then I asked him the same question, and the answer he gave me at the time was: I don't want to forget myself." I chewed on that sentence for a long, long time, and finally understood the wisdom of life in it, Lan Li is not only an excellent actor, he is also a person who really knows how to enjoy life. ”

There are too many temptations/temptations in life, fame, glory, status, money, privileges, desires/hopes, etc., etc., a little relaxation of vigilance, you may be lost in it, forget your original intention, and forget the essence of life, all efforts and struggles should be for your own faith, persistence and happiness, if you forget these in the process of chasing those temptations/temptations, then even if you have more and more, you will not be able to become more and more happy, and then you will lose the true meaning of life, the purest and simplest happiness.

Hollywood is such a place, the spotlights and spotlights are too dazzling, and when you are in it, you accidentally forget your original intention, and you are surrounded by a large bubble and lose your place.

Lan Li has never forgotten his true nature, which is why he has always been able to stay happy.

But Nathan didn't understand, "What does this have to do with Lan Li's promise of an intensive trip?"

Roy smirked, "Because he doesn't want to forget the Don Quixote who followed him." Without them, Lan Li would still be alone on the road to chasing his dreams, and he doesn't want to forget that.
