729 Perseverance

The elevator doors open and the orange lights splash down lazily, but the hustle and bustle of the hotel lobby is filled with a gentle silence, and the small sounds are not annoying, but full of vitality. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Good afternoon, Mr. Strello." The waiter not far away saw Lance's figure and immediately greeted him, with a respectful but flattering smile on his face, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" "Lance has been living at the five-star Four Seasons Hotel for almost two months and is definitely one of their most important customers, not to mention that Lance has become one of Hollywood's first-tier groups, and the weight is naturally different from the past.

"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Lance didn't stop, and walked straight in the direction of the bar, casually asking.

"There are people waiting for you to appear at the main entrance, and if you can, I would advise you to leave through the side door." The waiter replied with ease, hinting at the paparazzi waiting at the door, "There are three other guests waiting for you at the bar." We have just handed the message to Mr. Brandley. ”

"I'm not here today, transfer the phone to the room, record the message, and give it to Percy." Lance said simply, and the waiter immediately understood. The two of them walked to the door of the bar, the waiter took two steps first, stepped forward and pushed open the wooden glass door of the bar, Lance took out two green bills from his pocket and handed them to the waiter, and walked into the bar, and then the waiter gently closed the bar door again.

The footsteps stopped at the door of the bar, and Lance was waiting for the waiter to come and lead the way, but before the bartender could come up, a figure on the left hand side walked out of the shadows and waved at Lance with an excited face. Seeing the visitor, Lance's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said suspiciously, "I thought you were filming now." But the relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth can still show his true mood.

"I'm just a small supporting role, and the scene will end soon." Michael Fassbender showed that trademark smile, his neat and white teeth looked like a shark, he excitedly stepped forward to give Lance a hug, but it was still inevitably a little cramped, and finally gently hugged Lance, took a half step back, and held Lance's right hand, with a hint of excitement on his face.

"So you're coming to New York ......" Lance didn't greet politely, and asked directly.

Michael raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, "Oh, I called Percy to ask about your itinerary, I hope you don't mind, I'm here to find you......"

At this time, the waiter had already walked over and was waiting three steps away, Lance patted Michael on the shoulder, "I have a meeting to go over now, are you going to wait for me here, or do you want to have dinner together in the evening?" ”

Michael swallowed the words and waved his hand repeatedly, "You are busy first, you are first, don't worry about me." ”

Lance nodded, and without any further politeness, he followed the waiter's footsteps and left. From afar, Lance saw familiar figures, Tom Cruise, Terence Cox, and Leonardo DiCaprio sitting across from them.

Tom left his position, greeted Lance with a smile on his face, and gave Lance a warm hug regardless of the situation, which made Lance a little embarrassed, he was still not used to starting with a hug, "Man, it's been a long time, how is it?" Is everything okay? I read the news the day before yesterday that Gawain had passed the concussion test and that he could return to the ring as long as the packer wanted to. ”

The smile on Lance's lips relaxed and nodded, "He's fine, he easily beat me in the swimming competition this morning." "For most of the past six months, whether it is because of gratitude, repayment, or true friendship, Tom has been a friend to rely on." What about you? Is the situation okay? I heard that Paramount didn't put any less pressure on you! ”

Tom smiled helplessly and shook his head. Paramount's "War of the Worlds" produced and released has achieved good box office results, 230 million in North America and 590 million worldwide, but compared to the investment cost of 130 million, Paramount can only be said to be a small profit, far lower than expected, after all, Tom Cruise teamed up with Steven Spielberg, their expectations are bound to be higher.

Tom ignored Lance's teasing and turned to get out of the way, "I guess you don't need my introduction, right?" ”

Leonardo took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, "If there is anyone who doesn't know Lancelot now, then he is really outdated." ”

Lance shook Leonardo's right hand, "If someone doesn't know Leonardo, then maybe changing careers is a more appropriate choice." ”

As you come and go, both of you chuckle. Then Lance's eyes fell on Terrance, and the two of them were still polite, as if the previous grudge had never happened at all, especially considering that it was George Clooney who introduced the two to each other in the first place, but now it is no longer human, and the friendly and polite atmosphere between Lance and Terrance is becoming more and more hypocritical.

"I wanted to go to see 'Hard Fruit Candy' last night, but I was told that there were no tickets for the 8 and 10 o'clock schedules, which was really disappointing. So, I wonder if you have a way to get us into the cinema tonight? Tom took the initiative to take over the conversation, and the familiarity quickly enlivened the atmosphere, and everyone expressed their opinions on the recent heated discussion about "Fruit Hard Candy", all the topics revolved around Lance, and there was a feeling of the stars holding the moon, and when the time came, Leonardo took the opportunity to speak, "Now everyone is full of interest in the work you are preparing, so, is it really working with George Miller?" ”

"Yes, it's 'Mad Max 4', and the script framework has been completed at the moment." Lance smiled and said that in fact, the storyboard is almost complete, but the script still needs to be polished, and many lines in the plot need to be further thought, but these are not problems, and it is completely possible to think while shooting, so Lance has arranged a public audition for tomorrow.

"Leo very, really wanted to be part of the crew." It was Terrance who spoke, and he appeared on the scene today, which means that Terrance is not Leonardo's latest agent, but he is also very related, "Believe me, he almost keeps mentioning you, and that level makes me strongly doubt that he is going to join another camp." ”

Leonardo chuckled, "Terrance said that to make me sound like a little girl of fourteen. ”

"Isn't it?" Terrance's rhetorical question caused both Lance and Tom to chuckle, and Leonardo shrugged, "Well, at least I can't deny that my admiration for Lance is real." It would be an absolute pleasure to work with Reims. ”

"I believe in you." Lance smiled and said, "Your handwritten letters really made me look like a good showman, and everyone else envied me. The half-veiled words made Tom and Terrance immediately curious, while Leonardo chuckled shyly, as if he was not used to it.

In the past month, Leonardo has written five letters to Lance, expressing his willingness to cooperate with Lance with enthusiasm and perseverance, and the sincerity between the lines has never been compromised. Unfortunately, Lance never gave any reply, so today's meeting took place, and after a big circle, Leonardo still found Tom - as we all know, Tom is definitely Lance's most loyal supporter at the moment.

"If I have the chance, I'd love to work with you." Lance looked at Tom meaningfully, "If you don't believe it, Tom will be the best witness." ”

Tom reacted immediately, he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "That's the truth. He looked at Leonardo and said, "When Lance and I had an argument on the set, and even had a physical altercation, Lance left a cruel word, either listen to him or change people, and he was more than happy to call Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio." ”

Leonardo obviously didn't expect such an unexpected surprise, his eyes bloomed with a brilliant light, if he starred in "Killing with a Knife", does that mean that the person standing on the top podium of the Oscars is him? "Wow, that's unexpected news." Leonardo quickly controlled his emotions, "So, now there's a chance, my schedule is completely empty, I'm in perfect shape and I'm ready to go to work right away." ”

Once again, Leonardo showed enough sincerity to Reims.

The smile on the corner of Lance's mouth outlined, but instead of rejoicing, his eyes flashed apologetically, "Leo, I'm sorry, I don't think this work is the right time." Without beating around the bush, Lance directly expressed the meaning of refusal, as in the previous five letters.

Leonardo was stunned, not expecting Lance to refuse so simply, especially after the gratifying news just now, "Why?" "Crisp and aggressive, even if "Titanic" has caused Leonardo a lot of trouble, and many times he even wishes he hadn't starred in this work, but it is undeniable that this work has brought him his current status, he is a well-deserved top group in the industry, even compared to Tom.

Standing at the top of the pyramid, Leonardo has long been accustomed to giving orders, and there are very few times when he encounters rejection, and more often it is he who rejects others. But now, Lance rejects him? And many times in a row! That's really ...... A kind of humiliation, anger that surged up uncontrollably from the dantian.

The situation took a turn for the worse, Tom and Terrance were a little caught off guard, and the atmosphere became tense in the blink of an eye. (To be continued.) )
