Chapter 42: Who's Who's Gun? (b)
"Don't be angry with them." Lin Xiao said lightly: "They just got the right idea that Batman wants to be released in the summer, so they dare to open their mouths." ”
"These bastards!" Sith's face turned pale, "I've been with so many crews, and I've never met such a backsliding unit!" ”
The station was full of people, and everyone looked this way.
"Mr. Sith, let's go first, and we'll talk about it later."
Sith nodded with a dark face, turned back to the staff on the train and said, "Don't worry, when Director Nolan comes, with Warner's order, I think they dare to continue to go sideways!" ”
"Keep doing it, mainly the commander's room, renovate it well, before Director Nolan comes, it must be completed."
At this moment, a station staff member suddenly ran over.
"Stop! Stop! He walked to the side of the train, his black face didn't seem to be angry, and he was the bottom of a pot, "Just now the deputy stationmaster has given an order, the Shinkansen is all running, and anyone who has nothing to do with the train has to leave!" ”
"What!" Sith's eyes were on fire, and he grabbed the other party's clothes directly, almost lifting the staff up, "You say it again?!" ”
"Let it go!" The staff was obviously Koizumi's henchman, so he pushed away the Sith, tidied up his clothes, and said coldly, "This is the instruction of Deputy Station Chief Koizumi, if there is any problem, please go directly to him himself!" ”
"What about others!"
"I'm sorry, Deputy Stationmaster Koizumi has been on a business trip, I'm afraid he won't be back in the near future." The staff sneered, "The order of the head of the Ministry of Transportation, our station must obey it, I think this gentleman is better to obey the arrangement, otherwise, we are afraid that we will take some drastic measures." ”
"You dare!"
The staff took a step back and snorted coldly, "Tomorrow, it's the deadline, if you haven't left the station tonight, someone from the judicial department will take over my job tomorrow." ”
"You ......" Sith was so angry that his eyes were red and his lips were trembling.
Turn your face and don't recognize people, cross the river and tear down the bridge! It's been less than ten minutes!
Delaying the filming of the crew, any crew is a big crime!
Lin Xiao pulled his clothes and whispered, "Go first." ”
"Mr. Lin......"
Lin Xiao couldn't help but pull the Sith down in the waiting hall, the Sith was like a bullfighting bull, and the fighting spirit in his body could even be smelled eight meters away, and a large piece was directly vacant around him.
It took him a long time to calm down, but he heard Lin Xiao say, "Isn't Mr. Watanabe coming to pick us up in the afternoon?" ”
"Are you still in the mood to play?" Sith laughed angrily, "Once the summer file can't be released, even if Director Nolan defaults, Warner will definitely not give up, but these funds will be deducted from all members of the crew!" The longer it drags on here, the more we may end up with nothing! ”
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, "I'm talking about Mr. Watanabe." ”
"I know it's Ken Watanabe!" The Sith almost shouted, but the next second, he closed his mouth strangely.
He looked at Lin Xiao apologetically, with a hint of shyness on his face, and his lips moved for a long time before he said, "Oh, sorry, Lin, I'm so excited." ”
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, patting him on the shoulder.
"yes." Sith sat down in his chair like a deflated ball, resting his arms on the chair next to him, looking up at the ceiling "This is his territory, he must have a way!" ”
His eyes gradually lit up, "Let's go, let's go see him immediately!" ”
The place they agreed on was at the entrance of the station, and after talking on the phone, I learned that Ken Watanabe had arrived early, and he had been waiting for them for more than ten minutes.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked in the doorway, especially conspicuous, but no one could tell who was inside.
The Sith opened the car door with a wave of anger and sat down on the soft chair, which surprised Ken Watanabe.
"What's wrong? Such a big fire? He joked, "You can't think I'm late, right?" ”
Lin Xiao shook his head and told him what had just happened.
After saying that, Ken Watanabe was silent, and after a while, he frowned and sighed.
"It's not easy to do......"
"This thing is obviously because someone looks at the crew unpleasantly, and it must be a company, individuals don't have so much energy, and those who have so much energy won't pay attention to the crew. Did the crew offend anyone? ”
"Nope!" Sith said sullenly, "We are very low-key, how can we offend people?" ”
Ken Watanabe nodded, he was also a member of the crew, so he naturally wouldn't be happy when he heard this kind of thing, and continued to ask, "What about the person?" ”
After speaking, his eyes lit up suddenly, as if he remembered something, and glanced at Lin Xiao from the rearview mirror without a trace.
Without waiting for the Sith to answer, he continued, "I can only say that I have tried to communicate, you know, Japan is a chaebol economy, and even the prime minister has to carefully consider the opinions of the lords, and I really can't do much as an individual." ”
"Mr. Watanabe, I hope the sooner the better!" Sith said anxiously.
Ken Watanabe nodded, "I think I have some clues." ”
After saying that, he didn't continue, turned around and asked with a smile, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Sith smiled wryly, "Where else can I go?" Back to the hotel. I'm not in the mood to go shopping, so let's talk about it when this matter is resolved. ”
Ken Watanabe agreed: "I understand. ”
The car quickly sent Sith to the Yindu Hotel, but Lin Xiao did not get off with him.
"Bump" the car door closed, Watanabe Ken said to the driver, "You leave for a while." ”
In the car, there were only two people left.
Ken Watanabe lit a cigarette, rolled down the window, and took several puffs before asking, "Ai Hui?" ”
Lin Xiao nodded, "They looked for me." ”
"Oh? Talks collapsed? ”
"No, not at all." Lin Xiao sneered, "Give me high pressure and order me to unblock Ayumi Hamasaki, and I will let them go." ”
"That's why the Ministry of Transportation is now coming out." Ken Watanabe took a deep breath and looked out the window for a few seconds before nodding slightly, "I can try, but it's hard to say what the result will be." Ayumi Hamasaki is Heisei Sanhime, and her influence is not much lower than mine. ”
"Now that you have a goal, it's easy to do."
He flicked off his cigarette ash and thought about it for a long time before saying, "I didn't want to say this, did you know that when you got this role, a certain section chief of the Ministry of Transportation once wrote to the Ministry of Transportation to ask the Ministry of Transportation to stop this crew to force another casting?" ”
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Is it the young man with glasses who came with you that time?" ”
Ken Watanabe nodded, "Anyway, it's related to him, I have endorsed the Shinkansen, and they value this piece very much." ”
"However, the issue has been put on hold."
He pondered the wording: "It is said that there is a terrible chaebol, and a certain person at the top personally suppressed this proposal. ”
He carefully observed Lin Xiao's every expression, "With my identity, I can know these secrets related to the crew." ”
This is a temptation, he is testing whether Lin Xiao knows about this matter, is he using his connections?
However, he didn't see anything from Lin Xiao's face.
Lin Xiao just smiled as always.
Watanabe Qian sighed, "Okay, I mean, if Ai Hui is willing to dismiss me for the sake of Ayumi Hamasaki, I don't have a good idea for the time being, and the crew can't afford to delay." So, if Mr. Lin has any other way, it is better to let the crew continue filming as soon as possible. ”
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded, "Of course." ”
He got out of the car, walked into the elevator with a smile on his face, and immediately became serious.
He didn't know about it!
There is a third party involved in this matter, and the Ministry of Transport has already suffered a loss under the other party!
That's a unit of this level in the Middle Shadow Department! To suppress criticism in such a unit, non-Japan's top chaebol can't do it!
Who is the other party? What is the purpose? Lin Xiao thought about it a hundred times in his mind, but he didn't have the slightest clue.
That night, the Sith was a little haggard, and walked to Lin Xiao's room with a bottle of wine, "Come, have a drink?" ”
Lin Xiao took the wine bottle and put it on the table, but smiled and picked up his clothes and changed, "When you come to Japan, how can you not taste the other party's sake?" Experiencing Japanese izakayas? Let's go, man, I'm in for a treat. ”
Sith smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lin, I really admire your mentality. ”
"You know how serious the situation is now, if this film can't be completed on time, your and Bale's 'debut scene' will really be over! It can only be postponed to the Lunar New Year. But...... Throughout the history of American films, the Chinese New Year file has always been Disney and DreamWorks. No matter how powerful Batman is, he can't fight Shrek at that time. Believe me. ”
Not to mention, the film signed a large amount of compensation with Morgan Freeman, if it can't be paid on time...... Oh, Lin, don't look at me like that, the other party is the top group of people in Hollywood, it's not that I don't want to sign you this kind of contract, but only superstars have this qualification. ”
He shook his head bitterly, "Anyway, it's a bad situation......"
"That's why you want to drink to kill your sorrows, don't you?" Lin Xiao smiled and pulled up the Sith, "Let's go, the future director." ”
Sith was helplessly pulled up, and the two asked at the front desk, and after several turns, they found a "Hojo family" that was said to be the "most authentic". ”
Sith looked at the old signboard, and both looked at each other.
"Lin, do you know what this place is for?"
Lin Xiao looked at it for a long time, and said suspiciously, "Fried chicken wings? French fries? ”
"That's McDonald's!" Sith was finally amused by him and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, man." ”
The two sat down, tied their waists, and the waiter with a ponytail immediately handed over the sign and said in Japanese, "Two guests, please feel free." ”
There weren't many people in the shop, wooden tables, benches, and a row of curtains with soup stock boiling under them.
"Grilled skewers, Caesar salad, vinegared mackerel, oden, stewed konjac, fried flower branches......" Lin Xiao ordered more than a dozen dishes before letting the waiter leave.
"Can you finish eating?" The Sith smiled.
"I'm in for a treat, are you still afraid that I can't afford to invite you?"
