810 Last Hour
readx;?“ There was a gentle patting sound on his shoulder, Lance opened his eyes, the soft light from inside the airport came into view, he lowered his head and rubbed his temples with his fingertips, and Percy's slightly worried voice came from his ears, "Your espresso." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info8Ω1 Δ文网" Immediately the rich aroma of coffee lingered under the wings of his nose, Lance took the small coffee cup, Percy said hesitantly, "Are you sure it's okay?" You look really bad. ”
Lance picked up the coffee cup, took a deep breath of the mellow aroma, then tilted his head and poured the coffee into his stomach in one gulp, and in an instant his internal organs began to turn upside down, and his brain became clear little by little. Raising his head, Lance looked at Charlize Theron, who was sitting across from him, "Are you sure you don't need to dress up?" ”
Charlize tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and the laziness between his gestures looked casual but elegant, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the one who stayed up three nights in a row." A direct retort made Lance laugh dumbly.
Attending the Oscars was indeed a last-minute decision, and Lance was not fooling around.
According to the original plan, the Oscars were on the schedule, but the filming of "Fury Road" added too much uncertainty, and after entering February, because of the continuous week of strong winds, all the work was completely stranded, resulting in the crew's shooting plan being completely disrupted, and Lance was ready to be absent from the Oscars - between the Oscars and the summer season, Lance firmly chose the latter, he always maintained a clear mind, and did not get carried away by the strong momentum of the Oscars. Xiaojinren still has a chance to fight for it in the future, and there is still a chance to mend the cracks in the relationship with the college, but the failure of the summer file is unbearable.
It wasn't until March 1 that Lance appeared, and the filming went much smoother than expected, with only the last two scenes left, and "Fury Road" could be announced. Although the filming of these two scenes was not easy, requiring more than 300 extras to gather together and shoot together, Lance still decided to go all out to sprint to see if he could catch the Oscars at the last minute.
So, on the one hand, Percy bought a ticket for the Fourth of March in preparation for Reims' return; But on the other hand, Chaos Pictures is still preparing for Lance's absence, because until it is confirmed that there are no problems with the last scene, any variables can arise.
In particular, Lance refused to rush to the Oscars, in case the finished film was not satisfactory and had to be re-filmed, whether it was in the Burbank studio, or going to the desert of Las Vegas to shoot on location, or returning to Namibia to shoot, this is the result that Chaos Pictures does not want to see.
Sure enough, on March 4, Lance returned to work and put into filming, and it was not until the last moment that he repeatedly confirmed it three times before officially announcing the completion of "Fury Road". Albert stayed behind to clean up the mess, and the crew then took a special plane back to Los Angeles, while Lance and Charlize sped all the way to the airport, fully activating the "attendance plan". In such a situation, being able to appear at the Oscars is a victory, so Lance simply doesn't care that the time to arrive in Los Angeles is so short, and it is not a big deal to miss the red carpet if necessary.
However, after all the running and jet lag, long-distance flights, and Lance's head can't stop, he must now think about the potential ripple effects of attending the Oscars, especially when George Clooney stands on the podium; And on Oscar night, how to mend the cracks in the college's PR...... After 6 in Los Angeles, Lance only felt as if he had been hollowed out, and his condition was indeed terrible.
In the face of Charlize's ridicule, Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and calmly put the coffee cup on the table, "For me, this is not the first time, and it will not be the last." But for you, your PR team will never want you to appear in front of the media. ”
Charlize laughed heartily twice, "I thought after four months of getting along, you already know that I'm not that delicate type." "Such a bold gesture, even most male actors can't do it," besides, even my agent was sure that I would come back at the last minute, and I don't think the reporters would know. ”
Lance shrugged, "I'm not talking about journalists, just ordinary airport people...... However, I accept your claim. Lance turned to look at Percy, "So, where is Gawain?" ”
Since Lance was only sure to catch the plane at Heathrow Airport at the last minute, Cole Greid stayed at the Roosevelt Hotel at this time, and the costume team, makeup team, and styling team were all on standby, so Gawain took the initiative to take over the task of coming to the airport to pick up the plane.
"He's in the driveway at the exit." Percy had just finished the call with Gawain when the group stood up and walked in the direction of the exit.
"Lance? Oh God, that's Lance! Yes! Reims! Not far away, a voice full of unexpected surprises rang out, screaming almost uncontrollably, and then I saw someone directly throw his carry-on luggage aside and run over, "Lance, 'Sin City' is my favorite movie, absolutely!" That's genius! I've watched that movie six times, and I still love it...... Oh yes, yes, and 'hard fruit candy', hell Jesus Christ, you're such a lunatic! ”
The faces of the visitors were full of excitement, and without consent, they shook Lance's right hand with great excitement, and talked endlessly, and the admiration was overflowing.
"Then you wouldn't want me to be late for tonight's Oscars." Lance interrupted the other and said with a smile, but with unmistakable decisiveness in his tone.
"Oh...... Oh! The two interjections immediately expressed the change in his heart, and he quickly let go of his hands, "You want to participate in the Oscars?" Wow, that's a ...... It's really ......" Before he could utter a sigh, five or six more people swarmed around, "Lance? Reims! Hey, Charlize! The shouts were endless, and the excitement spread through the air, and in the blink of an eye, Lance and his party were caught in the encirclement.
The long airport passage was littered with passengers who had just stepped off the plane, and the shouts of "Lance" came from the empty space, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were involuntarily projected. Although it is not uncommon to meet artists at Los Angeles International Airport, sometimes you can meet multiple in a day, but Lance is not a casual artist, he is not only the fastest rising superstar in the past three years, but also has continued to bombard the headlines of major media in the past six months, while Lance has rarely had surrounding news, and there is always a mysterious aura around him. So, like bees returning to their nests, everyone rushed towards Lance's location.
"Lance...... Charlize ...... Lancelance ...... Reims! The shouts came and went, and all the voices were so mixed together that they were all muddled, and at last only the screams of exuberance remained, "Ah! Ahhh The shrill shouts and screams were incessant, especially when people realized the meaning behind Lance's return to Los Angeles at this moment, and the excitement was even more uncontrollable, and everyone let out all their enthusiasm like an adolescent girl seeing a backstreet boy or a class boy.
It's really not often in Los Angeles, it's America, not Asia, there aren't so many fanatics and it's not that crazy, and Lance isn't Justin Bieber or Robert Pattson. Looking at the faces in front of me that were too excited and began to distort, it really made people feel a sense of time-traveling.
The only thing to be thankful for is that everyone's sanity has not completely disappeared, and there is a distance between them and Lance; And just surrounded Lance and his party and followed Lance and the others forward, which did not lead to the dilemma of being unable to move an inch, otherwise Percy would really not be able to cope with it in the absence of manpower.
“…… I support you for Best Supporting Actor, George is a villain......"...... The performance is really wonderful, you ......""...... I'm going to the cinema next week to watch it"...... I can't believe the academy would do this......" "I support you!" It doesn't matter if you win a prize or not! ”“…… Would you like to win a prize by all means? I don't want to see George anymore......""What is the next movie?" ”
Fragments of voices were scattered across the ground in the runaway screams, barely able to piece together complete sentences, and the shrill shouts irritated the eardrums with a faint pain.
Suddenly, a wave of cold air rushed to his face, colliding directly with the hot air gathered by the crowd, forming a powerful air current, and goosebumps on the surface of his skin all came out. Then Lance saw the reporters at the exit, swept it at random, at least double digits, plus the ordinary people around the pick-up were all crowded together, and the narrow door actually produced a crowd effect, which really surprised Lance.
Leaving the automatic door at the exit and entering the slightly empty baggage claim area, the crowd finally dispersed a little, but the passengers did not rush to collect their luggage, but stayed where they were, paying attention to the bustling situation in front of them.
In the crowd, Lance saw a familiar figure at a glance, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but outline, and he squinted his eyes and looked up and down at Javier, who was in a mess. Before Lance could speak, Javier raised his voice and asked, "Lance, are you back in Los Angeles today to attend the Oscars?" ”
All eyes were on Lance in an instant, and the heat and weight fell on his shoulder, Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and gave the answer lightly and calmly, "Yes." (To be continued.) )
