Chapter 46: Vanity Fair (1)
In a mansion in Beverly Hills. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Wei and Lai Girl are intertwined, releasing their strong love for each other.
As the heavy wheezing sound subsided, the woolen blanket on the bed was lifted, and Li Wei lay down on his back, staring lazily at the ceiling.
The room was lit up with a reddish light, making Lai Girl's foil even more sexy and enchanting, she re-entangled Li Wei like an octopus, put her head on Li Wei's chest, her slender fingers stroked Li Wei's neck, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you have something on your mind, dear?" It's been days since I've heard you tell a joke. ”
Li Wei fisted his palms, pillowed his head, and said to himself: "Yesterday I asked Daniel to send dumplings, this is a delicacy in Chinese food, my mother ate it for the first time, I told her, just follow my movements, when eating dumplings, I accidentally dropped a dumpling into the wine glass, I didn't want to waste it, I ate it when I took it out, and as a result, she had to dip it in red wine every time she ate a dumpling, and told me, 'Son, the taste of dumplings is really bad'!" ”
Li Wei was completely entertaining himself, smiling from ear to ear, but Lady Lai was at a loss, "What are dumplings?" ”
Li Wei suddenly felt very bored, he looked at the girl and said, ""The New Father-in-law" has been completed, can you take a vacation?" ”
"I have a lot of film appointments, and I'm thinking about taking on the next play!" Lady Lay is very ambitious, and has barely had time off these months, she said: "Tom. Cruise's "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea", Anthony. Hopkins's "Burning Years", as well as Michael. Keaton's "Batman 2" all made me an offer, dear, it's a wonderful feeling to be famous, last year, those big stars were so far away for me, but now, I seem to be one of them. ”
These movies are all masterpieces of Shuai Wang, and Li Wei immediately said: "It's all pushed, your next scene should appear in my movie!" ”
Miss Lai suddenly raised her head, "I heard your mother say a few days ago that you are in a big trouble and even the preparation of the next movie has been postponed, is that so?" ”
The postponement of the preparation of the next film is because he is too busy, and in the past two months, Li Wei has been promoting "Hurricane Rescue", rushing to do activities all day long, especially after the preview screening was launched last month, he spent almost all of his time on the plane, running all over the major cities in the United States.
Of course, Anji's matter is also a factor, Li Wei said: "That was before I filmed "Killer Tragedy", it has been resolved, tomorrow is the premiere, this trouble will no longer affect me, and when "Hurricane Rescue" officially opens, the new movie can start preparations." ”
"Can you tell me in detail, dear, I want to share the burden for you, really!" Lady Rai is very persistent.
Li Wei concealed this matter before, because he didn't want Lai Girl to worry about it, but now that the turmoil has passed, he feels that it doesn't matter if he says it, "I once told you that the funds I spent filming "Killer Tragedy" were through a bad transaction, but it's not right, I earned the money through debt collection, and I used a little illegal means on the way to collect the debt, and the whole process happened to be seen by a witness, I can't control this witness, for the past two months, I have been worrying about this witness, and I even hired a private detective to monitor her, That's the case! ”
"Who is this witness?"
"It doesn't matter, she's a thing of the past, and I don't spy on her anymore!" Li Wei sat up, kissed the girl's cheek, and went directly to the bathroom, "I'm going to the touchstone today to attend the seminar of the premiere event, and there will be a party in the evening, you and my mother have dinner together, you don't have to wait for me!" ”
After Li Wei left, Lai sat on the bed and was stunned for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Tracy, who is that witness?"
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment before she said, "Leni, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you can't take care of it, besides, it's already over!" ”
Lady Lay changed her tone to pleading, "I just want to know what happened, Will can't tell me, Tracy, please tell me, I'm worried about him, he's a little depressed these days, I hope I can help him!" ”
Tracy sighed before saying, "She's the daughter of an actor, the girl who sent out an audition invitation last time!" ”
After listening to Tracy's narration, Lady Lay immediately grasped the point, "The solution is only temporary, she will poke this matter out one day!" ”
"We know, Lenny! We're buying her in, she's not going to turn down fame, and we're going to make an offer to her in our next movie, promising that she'll forget about it! ”
Lady Lai was silent, and she suddenly hung up the phone.
She quickly finished sorting her clothes, went to the living room to find Laura, and said with a smile, "My dear Mrs. Laura, can you tell me where the key to the garage is?" ”
Laura immediately grabbed her hand and replied, "Baby, tell me quickly, what car do you want to drive, your boyfriend bought five luxury cars in one go, each of which is worthy of you, by the way, where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to meet a girl who is in Lee. Study at the Streisberg School of Drama! ”
Today is September 23, 1991, two days before the opening of "Hurricane Rescue".
Li Wei stayed at Touchstone Pictures until 6 p.m., and then left the company to participate in the boss Joe. Ruth & Bob. A dinner hosted by Shay.
In fact, Li Wei is not the protagonist of the dinner, two famous film critics in Los Angeles are.
The two men work for The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, respectively, and are both members of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
"Lee, when your movie starts, the title of my column will be something like this, "Hurricane Rescue" is a textbook of action movies, what do you think?"
As soon as he arrived at the banquet hall, a pot-bellied old man showed favor to Li Wei, he smoked his pipe, and smoked it very quickly, writers seemed to have a special habit of smoking, Li Wei endured rejection, enthusiastically stretched out his hands, and held the pot-bellied old man tightly, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Morgan!" ”
The old man is a veteran film critic of "Variety" magazine, Hollywood's famous poisonous tongue, the degree of poison depends on how much money is charged, the discipline of the American film critic group is worse than Bichi, vitriol is their code name, meanness is their collective name, of course, there is a group of noble diehards all over the world, which cannot be bought by money, but this is only a very few.
After dealing with the old man, Li Wei set his sights on a white woman, this is Merlin, the top film critic of "The Hollywood Reporter", belongs to one of the groups of people who advertise nobility, Li Wei is a little strange, how the two bosses invited her.
Without waiting for Li Wei to speak, the woman first said: "You participated in NBC's "Tonight Show" last month, and the ratings of that show were quite high. Renault specifically recommended your Hurricane Rescue to me! ”
"May I ask Mrs. Merlin, what is the relationship between Mr. Reynolds and you?"
"Alumni! Alumni with a special relationship! ”
Hollywood is not only a tangle of interests, alumni, teachers and students are also an important link that cannot be ignored, Li Wei wants to gain a firm foothold in this vanity fair, and the relationship between various channels must be solid.
His foundation is too weak, and the long journey requires redoubled efforts.
In the middle of the banquet, when everyone was talking happily, Tracy hurried over.
It was very rude to withdraw at this time, Li Wei hesitated and didn't know how to speak, but fortunately, the two bosses teamed up to relieve him.
Leaving the banquet hall and getting to the car, Tracy couldn't wait to say, "Lenny has an accident, she was attacked with a fire extinguisher, and she is now being rescued in the hospital!" ”
"Go to the hospital immediately, is she seriously injured!" Li Wei was very incomprehensible, "Leni should stay at my house today, how could something happen?" Who attacked her? ”
"It's Angelina. Julie! Tracy directly said a name and added, "Leni shouldn't be in danger of life!" ”
The car had already started, Li Wei's full-time driver Martin increased the accelerator and rushed towards the hospital, Li Wei sat in the back seat, turned sideways and asked, "Are you kidding me?" How did the two of them meet? ”
Tracy was a little weak-hearted and concealed her call with Lady Lay today and staggered the topic, saying, "Angelina. Julie has been arrested, and now the question is, can she withstand the pressure of the police and poke your affair out! I've been on the phone with Richie, he's at the police station and will come and meet us as soon as there is news! ”
Li Wei was silent and slowly leaned back in his seat, he didn't expect things to develop to such a point, and it developed so fast, it was simply a surprise attack, so he didn't have time to prepare.
"Contact Jon right away. Voight, I want to see him! "This was Li Wei's first decision, Jon. Voight is an actor, and he will never allow his daughter to go to prison, which will be a devastating blow to his reputation, and in order to save his daughter, he will attack Lai Girl at all costs.
