504 Critical moments

Hollywood is a very interesting circle, where the moral bottom line seems to be blurred, it can be said to be free and open, or it can be said to be entertaining to death. Sometimes, the wind/flow/rhyme/affair will become a legend, for example, the extramarital affair between Laurence Oliver and Vivien Leigh has not only not been criticized, but has become an anecdote in Hollywood; Another example is that Clint Eastwood once fought with another actor during the filming of the movie to pursue the heroine, and the heroine was married at the time, and Clint himself was married, which was considered to be young and frivolous.

It is precisely because of this that in many cases, rumors of chasing after the wind and shadows can stimulate people's adrenaline more than facts.

If Lance's idea just now comes true, it is not difficult to imagine that Angelina's reputation will be quickly restored, and she can even take advantage of the trend to "be good", officially bid farewell to the absurd and rebellious life of the past, and become a model for women in the new century. People always like to see examples of such examples, like the prodigal son turning back, and the deviant girl rediscovering her tracks, which is also welcome.

If that's all it takes, it won't affect Reims too much. For Hollywood men, they will even tease Lance and tell this funny story half-jokingly. After all, nothing really happened between Lance and Angelina, it was just another "man's mistake".

But the problem is that it's definitely not that simple.

Angelina will not stop there, the PR team behind her is bound to hope that Angelina and Brad's relationship will also be more recognized, and she can appear on the big screen as a victim to emphasize the authenticity and depth of the relationship between her and Brad. On the one hand, she can silently condemn the wrong impression of her by those bad men represented by Lance, and win her the support of more female audiences; On the one hand, it can also make people's impression of the cheating door blurred and transform into a love that is moths to the fire.

In this way, Angelina's image will take a huge turn of 180 degrees. And "Lance" has become a footnote in it, which is not only the beginning of Angelina's change, but also represents the image of those feminist machismo.

This would be a major blow to Lance's public image, and it could have a backhand - Brad could have stepped up and righteously accused Lance, not only as a woman who defended him, but also as the beginning of a reinvention of his personal image. If one day, Brad directly fights Lance, people will only applaud Brad, especially women, because Brad will do anything to protect his woman.

In other words, if Brad wants to entangle with Lance in the future, everything will be above board and taken for granted.

Of course, all this is just Lance's own speculation. Lance doesn't know how Angelina calculated, let alone how the public relations team hidden behind her calculated, if it was him, he would guide public opinion like this, and he could complete the Jedi reversal without bloodshed, and at the same time, he could make his "enemy" in a mess, and count them in one fell swoop, why not?

Since his rebirth, Lance has faced many difficulties and setbacks, but those can be overcome. Today, the problem of reputation is not solved by verbal explanations or templated actions, it takes years or even decades to build a reputation, but it only takes one night to destroy it.

In fact, Lance doesn't mind his reputation, as if Jessica Alba openly accuses him of being a jerk, and he won't even blink an eye, because those accusations are all facts, and there is no need for him to deny them. So, if Angelina or Brad openly accuse him in an interview, he will definitely not mind, on the contrary, he is very happy to confront them openly, they can use him, and he can use them as well. The so-called fame has no substantive effect on him, and he has not violated the law anyway.

What Lance minds is that he has become a stepping stone, and Angelina actually wants to use herself to clear her name, which he can't bear. Angelina provoked the war in the first place, he defended himself, and now she still wants to escape by stepping on her shoulder? Lance would never allow such a thing to happen.

Lance didn't care if Angelina was able to successfully turn her image around, but if she wanted to use him for that purpose, she had miscalculated.

How to escape this trap, this is the biggest crisis facing Reims!

If Lance is the mastermind behind it, he will definitely take all aspects into account, for example, arrange hidden piles at potential escape exits, so that even if the "actor" is absent, they can direct and act themselves to finish filming the follow-up scenes; Another example is arranging for an unexpected person to suddenly appear, and before the actor can react, he will be the first to break the good thing, and then leave in a hurry.

Lance looked at Angelina in front of her, her face was already showing a grief-stricken collapse, and she even raised her hand and grabbed her neck fiercely, and with a sudden force, a distinct mark was left on her neck. Because she was pushing too hard, Angelina began to cough hard, she raised her eyes and glanced at Lance, a hint of revenge flashed in her eyes, and the smile that flashed at the corner of her mouth made people shudder, and then she hugged her upper body and performed a weak posture professionally.

Lance didn't even have time to rejoice that he hadn't really been rough with Angelina just now, he just bumped it on the shoulder, he knew that he had to calm down and quickly come up with a response, otherwise whatever Angelina was planning would really work.

Ponder. Ponder!

Lance took a deep breath and looked around, he was standing at the end of the hallway, less than ten paces away from the staircase, surrounded by tightly closed room doors - was it possible for him to enter one of the rooms and avoid any form of witnessing?

"Lancelot?" A crisp voice came from the direction of the staircase.

Lance's left hand couldn't help but clench, and his thumb pressed the pad of his index finger, could it be that the "witness" appeared? Angelina's team is so leaky and exhaustive that they don't even want to give him time to think!

Raising his head, Lance saw someone coming, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, it was Cate Blanchett! Lance had a list of potential witnesses in his mind, but never expected it to be Kate!

Kate is indeed good friends with Brad Pitt and George Clooney, and she played an important role in "The Talented Ripley" when she was just starting out in Hollywood. Later, he cooperated with Brad in two works, "Babel" and "Rejuvenation", which can be regarded as a golden partner.

However, is Kate and Brad that close now? Or even willing to be an eyewitness? Lance thinks that actors are reluctant to get involved in the matter, and the best option should be the behind-the-scenes staff, such as makeup artists, or even magazine editors, which will make things easier and safer. But Cate Blanchett?

"Lancelot!" Kate shouted again, with a surprised smile on her face, just as Lance was about to speak to preemptively, he noticed a detail - Angelina's face was actually an accident, if the person who came was arranged in advance, Angelina could have continued to panic or be aggrieved, there was no need to be surprised, but even so, Lance's words still blurted out, "Kate!" I'm looking for you. ”

"Oh? I'm looking for you too? Kate's response made Lance stunned, he had even thought about what to say next, at least before Angelina's performance began, to take the initiative in his hands, but Kate's words were unexpected again, "Leo and Martin are looking for you, I ran into Tom just now, and Tom said that you might be on the second floor." ”

With an affectionate smile on her face, Kate strode towards Lance, and even nodded politely as she passed Angelina, "Angelina." "It was just a greeting, no extra words, and then he walked up to Lance, took the initiative to hold Lance's arm, and behaved very intimately," Leo mentioned your new work, and thought that one of the characters was a good fit for me, and I think we should talk about it. ”

Lance could feel Kate's right hand holding his arm, slowly tightening, as if to give him a suggestive signal. Although he didn't know why, Lance didn't hesitate, and the decent smile on his face outlined, "Leo has leaked the news now?" It's a secret. Looks like I need to have a good talk with him. Then, Lance turned his head to look at Angelina, "Lady Julie, ...... then" Lance nodded politely, ready to say goodbye.

At this moment, another figure appeared at the top of the staircase, the reporter of "American Weekly", Darrys McCoy.

Darius looked at the three people in front of him with a stunned expression, obviously not expecting such an unexpected situation, "You ......" He just said one word, and then came to an abrupt end, as if he didn't know how to continue.

Kate put on a big smile and turned to look at Lance, "I hope you weren't impressed by Angelina's audition, I'm ready for it." "Concise words hide too much information. Again, it was like a quibble for Lance, but for Kate, everything seemed to make sense. Kate met Darrys' gaze, and her shallow smile was so calm that it was hard to believe.

Angelina couldn't turn around, according to the plan, she couldn't speak at this time, but pretended to cry and turned away, this effect is the best. But now that it is obviously no longer applicable, is she going to open her mouth and directly accuse Lance? But this seems to be inferior, and the effect is far less than expected.

Between hesitations, Kate had already taken Lance's arm and walked to the staircase, and the two of them talked in a low voice, looking extremely intimate, and entered the sight of the hall on the first floor with a generous face. The timing was missed in the blink of an eye.

Angelina and Darius both stood blankly in place, both seeming a little confused: So how is this scene going to end? (To be continued.) )
