946 Triumphant
The summer heat seems to have faded, the heat wave grabs the tail of August, tossing up and down amid the sound of the waves, and the young people of Los Angeles still laugh and laugh as they hug their surfboards and rush to the beaches of Venice to enjoy the final weekend before school starts.

Albert Allen looked at the frolicking figures on the street, his wanton smile blooming in the bright afternoon sunshine, and couldn't help but sigh, "Youth is indeed the most beautiful." ”
Percy Brandley, who was sitting across from her, glanced at Albert and complained coldly, "That's a little far away from you." ”
"It's not as close as you think." Albert rolled his eyes, and fought back directly, "Especially after Europe came back, you look a lot older." ”
"So, you're envious?" Percy still replied lukewarmly, choking Albert almost straight to the case.
When the crew arrived at the Los Angeles airport, they were almost overwhelmed by a frenzy of reporters, and the fanatical fans surrounded the airport so much that Lance had to take the VIP tunnel to get out. However, Albert did not follow the crew to Europe to promote.
"Hey, you're ...... Percy? Right? As she spoke, a girl stepped forward, her face full of excitement, "I've seen you on the news, you're Lance's assistant, right?" With the hot development of the crew's publicity, everyone's exposure rate has risen in a straight line, and Percy has repeatedly been reported and his popularity has risen.
Albert immediately noticed Percy's slightly furrowed brow, and forced a smile to prevent him from laughing directly.
For others, it is a joy to be recognized by strangers, especially strange beauties, and in a vanity fair like Hollywood, recognition means everything; But for Percy, he dislikes the proximity and contact of strangers very much, and this recognition is completely troublesome, not only because Percy is not used to dealing with strangers, but also because Percy knows that these so-called "popularity" is full of exchange of interests and greed for desire/desire.
Percy had just shown off to Albert, and then he was slapped in the face, so Albert naturally couldn't help but laugh.
Percy exuded a cold aura of "no one should enter" all over her body, but she still couldn't stop the girl in front of her. This girl looks no more than twenty years old, with long blonde hair draped casually over her shoulders, the combination of tank top and heated pants shows the advantage of slender legs, although the curve of her chest is not proud, but her fair skin glows with a charming luster in the sun, and her youthful vitality is coming.
"Beth-Behrs, you can call me Beth." But the girl was not frustrated, smiled brightly, and introduced herself, "That's my friends, we're having a party at Third Street tonight, and you're welcome to come and join." Beth's enthusiastic attitude made Albert a little embarrassed, but Percy was still a zombie face, indifferent, Albert sat next to him, awkwardly avoiding his eyes, but Beth turned to look at Albert as if he didn't notice, "Of course, if your friends are also interested, we welcome them with open hands." ”
In such a tone, it was as if Albert was just an inconsequential amateur.
Percy was amused by this sentence, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and the smile in her eyes swelled; Albert grinded his teeth, depressedly picked up the coffee on the table, and took a big sip.
Beth didn't know what mistake she had made, but she turned to look at Percy and said proactively, "I hope you'll come, I'll wait for you!" Then she left with her friends, and after a few steps, she turned back and shouted, "Beth, my name is Beth!" See you in the evening! ”
At this time, Beth is just an ordinary girl in Hollywood, with the dream of being an actress, looking for her own opportunity. She didn't even get any auditions, let alone the American drama "Broken Sisters" that made her famous in the future, so she had to take every opportunity, even if it was just a little possibility.
Albert put the coffee cup down, looked at the almost irrepressible smile on Percy's lips, and pouted speechlessly, "You can tell her that we have a bigger party tonight, and if I'm not mistaken, you still have one last invitation in your hand." ”
Percy didn't hesitate to shoot back, "Don't say as if your invitations have already been sent. ”
Unexpectedly, Albert raised his left hand and made a "wait" gesture, and then walked quickly towards a group of hot bikini girls not far away, holding ocean balls, bath towels and Xiaoice buckets in their hands, obviously preparing to go on a beach vacation, Albert walked to them, just said two words, you can see that the girls are all laughing, the atmosphere is very lively, and then, Albert took out a few invitations from his pants pocket and handed them to them.
In less than two minutes, Albert turned around and walked back, spread his hands, and shrugged, "My invitations have indeed been sent out." Percy's rebuttal was all forced in his chest, and he was really aggrieved. Looking at Percy's depressed expression, Albert couldn't help but laugh smugly.
Tonight, Lance threw a party on his own behalf, nominally because of the housewarming — he bought a villa in Malibu and officially moved in after returning from Europe, but in the eyes of others, it was a celebration of the "Fury Road" because the entire staff of Chaos Pictures had been invited.
Although it was a private party, Lance did not strictly limit the number of participants, but instead produced four hundred invitations, three hundred of which were sent to Chaos Pictures employees and members of the "Fury Road" crew, ranging from five to ten each, allowing them to invite anyone to attend; The remaining 100 invitations were not idle, Dorothy and Cole divided the fifty, and Lance gave Theo, Ian, and Gawain 10 invitations each, leaving only 20 for himself.
It can be said that this party is bound to be lively, everything is mainly carnival, and it is truly the last party of summer.
However, this party is definitely not so simple in the eyes of Hollywood people, this is not only a celebration party for the triumphant return of the "Fury Road" crew, but also a celebration banquet after Lance broke through the blockade of Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, and Disney, and it is also a stage for Chaos Pictures to announce that it has become the seventh player. Even if Lance doesn't invite the biggest names and top stars in the industry, everyone will find a way to get into the party, no matter what the purpose.
Percy and Albert also got ten invitations each, but the two of them have their own thoughts, on the one hand, both of them have been busy with work in the past few years, and they hardly have much time to meet new people, it seems that there are friends all over the world, but there are only a handful of people who can really be called friends; On the other hand, they also know the value of the invitation in their hands, inviting some people, it is bound to offend others, and this invitation is like a proud blooming flower, wild bees and butterflies are swarming, it is really annoying, interest exchange, all are interest exchange. Therefore, the invitation letter in the hands of both people was not completely sent out.
Unexpectedly, Albert gave it directly to the bikini girls like this.
Percy looked at the triumphant Albert and retorted speechlessly, "In that case, then why didn't you just give her the invitation?" "Beth, I'm talking about Beth.
Albert spread his hands up with a helpless scoundrel expression, "What she needs is not my attention, but Mr. Percy Brandley, Lance's assistant, isn't it?" ”
The corners of Percy's mouth twitched slightly, but she still suppressed her anger, and continued, "If she knew you were Lance's royal playwitter, it would have been a lively scene." Percy is just Lance's assistant, he has no real power, at most he is just a matchmaker and introduces him to Lance; But Albert has real power in the crew, not only the jobs in each link, but also performance opportunities such as extras, and Albert has a direct say.
Albert choked on such a counterattack that he could only stare at Percy viciously - obviously, Albert didn't like to be the center of attention, especially now that those people were like hungry wolves, treating him like a piece of fresh meat, which was really uncomfortable.
"Hey, Percy!" In the distance, a shout came from across the street, Percy and Albert turned their heads at the same time, and then they saw the figure of Robert Downey Jr., waving enthusiastically to say hello, Albert didn't quite understand - Robert is not a nobody, although he is now in a career low period of almost ten years, there is no need for him to be so enthusiastic about Percy, if it is Cole, it is understandable, but Percy?
Albert turned his head, and then saw Percy's brow furrow slightly again, and then the waiter of the café came over and asked politely, "Sir, do you need to refill your coffee?" ”
Albert nodded and pointed to his coffee cup, but Percy hesitated for a moment, then picked up the last invitation on the table and placed it in the waiter's tray, squeezing out a smile, "Tip." After saying that, he stood up and left.
"Percy!" Albert was dumbfounded, but Percy didn't pay attention to him at all, and walked away, and then Albert saw Robert wave at him, greet him with a smile, and then quickly catch up with Percy, and the two disappeared into the crowd.
Albert looked at the backs of the two people, stunned, smiled and retracted his gaze, and then saw the waiter who was still full of astonishment, and shrugged his shoulders, "Today should be your lucky day." (To be continued.) )
