Chapter 39

The whole night revelry of St. Patrick's Day made lanli's brain AChE. At about four o'clock last night, all kinds of alcohol were mixed up. At that time, the atmosphere of the party was intoxicating and didn't feel much at all, but it began to be painful after getting up in the morning.

However, lanli didn't have time to sleep in. He got up at 9 a.m. and rushed to the airport to take the noon flight to Los Angeles. The day after tomorrow, March 20, the "Pacific War" will hold a grand premiere at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, and all the crew will gather again.

After getting on the plane, lanli fainted until the flight attendants woke him up. Then he packed up and walked off the plane. The three hours flight time finally relieved his headache.

After collecting his luggage, he quickly walked out of the hall and stood by the street to look left and right, but his sight was a little confused and he couldn't find the focus at all. In the field of vision, the scene is smooth, with golden sunshine, blue sky, wide streets, deep blue spray... Every scene reveals a casual and empty atmosphere, showing a different style from New York, as if even the oxygen factor is permeated with vitality, and the headache seems to be better.

Lanli is thinking about whether he should choose a taxi or rent a car.

As expected, although he played in the Pacific War and won the highest salary for the newcomer, Langley is still a poor man. The first payment and the second payment have been successfully paid to the account. After deducting taxes, it's about US $55000. It's really a lot of money. It can even be said that it's the highest income that lanli has made in person since he became a man for two generations. But in the entertainment industry, it's nothing at all.

After the "Pacific War" was officially shown, the days of lanli's life under the spotlight officially began. This also means that he must start to deal with the ubiquitous scenes. Even if it's just for a rainy day, it's very likely that lanli still hasn't received any attention after the TV series are shown. But this investment is a long-term plan, and there can't be any fluke mentality.

Lanli didn't have an agent or hire a professional stylist. He took care of it all by himself. For the next premiere and related publicity, he first bought several sets of clothes, including suits for formal occasions, private clothes for leisure occasions, and of course, matching shoes, ties, socks and so on. It costs nearly 25000, even though men don't have to think about jewelry.

After that, he paid two months' rent, went to a high-end beauty salon to have his hair cut, bought a round-trip ticket to Los Angeles, and spent on holiday parties... There is no detailed calculation of the expenses of lanli in Australia in the past period - income and expenditure, which is more troublesome to calculate, but in a twinkling of an eye, the income returned to less than 20000.

Lanli originally intended to buy a new car, but considering that there might be unexpected expenses in the next publicity trip, he had to give up for the time being; Moreover, after the "Pacific War", he must be prepared to be unable to find a job for a long time. This reserve will give him more confidence to continue in New York.

For the big name actors, HBO may directly send a special car to pick up the plane, but lanli, a nobody, can only budget carefully for the $50 taxi fare.

"Lan Li! Hey, Langley

During the hesitation, a voice came from the outside driveway not far away with the wind. At the same time, another man stood up through the window of the car and waved his hands. It was not Lamy Marek, but James Becky Dale, who was driving. He was also shaking his left hand excitedly through the window of the driver's seat.

"What are you waiting for? Come here!" James yelled at the top of his voice.

Lanli picked up the suitcase beside him - in order to avoid wrinkles in his suit, he could only carry the suitcase to travel. He reached out to warn the vehicles in the inner lane, and then quickly crossed the zebra crossing. Lamy had opened the door of the rear seat, threw the suitcase up first, and then lanli quickly got on, closed the door, and set out in one go.

"Guys, what are you doing here?" Lan Li's eyes showed surprise. In the twinkling of an eye, he had not seen each other for two months, but the familiarity between them had no effect. Just like "brother company", this kind of friendship is accumulated by working hard together and fighting side by side.

"Lamy said, it's your first time to Los Angeles, so my landlord decided to show you the charm of the city of angels!" James skillfully turned the steering wheel and left the busy airport of Los Angeles International Airport. "To be honest, it's cold, humid, distant and deviated place like New York, which is really not suitable for the long-term development of actors."

"The mayor of Los Angeles has invited you to be the spokesman of the city?" Lamy's reply made Lamy laugh. Los Angeles and New York also ridicule each other. "Why don't you pick up at the airport? Just outside? What if I just get in a taxi and leave? "

"Lamy is about to call you." James raised his chin and motioned, "it's too troublesome to park here, and it's not good to get in and out of the parking lot. It's better to go around the Airport Avenue, so it's faster." James looked back at the car behind him. "You have to thank me for my wisdom, otherwise we are still in traffic jam."

"It seems that Los Angeles is no different from New York." Terrible traffic. Langley's words left James speechless. Langli ignored James with a smile, turned his head and looked at Lamy beside him, "when did you come to Los Angeles?"

"Two weeks." Lamy took over the topic, "it's the awards season recently. There are always more opportunities in Los Angeles. How about you, Australia? The Gold Coast seems to have become your second home? "

Lanli began to share with his friends the interesting things that happened in the past. They also chatted about their recent situation. The common point of the three people is that they have no change“ After the "Pacific War", they didn't get too many opportunities. Now let's see what opportunities the TV series will bring.

"Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg are different after all." Lamy said expectantly.

HBO held a grand premiere for the Pacific war just like brothers company, which is the treatment only movies can enjoy. This alone is enough to make people excited. Even lanli is no exception. I didn't expect that the chance to attend the premiere would come so soon.

"Which hotel are you staying in?" James glanced at the sign beside him. "This afternoon's magazine interview is arranged at the Sunset Tower Hotel. If you are in the same direction, we will go to the hotel to put down our luggage, otherwise, we can go there directly. It's three o'clock in the afternoon

"Isn't it the interview at six?" Lan Li was stunned. It was only a quarter past two. He thought he had enough rest time to avoid accidents. But why did he gather at three? Time is running out.

Lamy and James look at lanli unexpectedly. A smile appears on the corner of James' mouth. Lamy greets lanli's puzzled eyes and explains, "lanli, you should know that we need to make up before the interview, right?" Looking at lanli's stunned expression, Lamy knew the answer, "moreover, the main Cass will accept photos and interviews, we need to take turns to fight, starting at six o'clock, which is just an estimate of time. It is estimated that at five o'clock, the staff of the magazine will arrive at the scene to prepare."

Langley must admit that he didn't think of this at all - no matter how much he saw in the film, the actual situation was different after all.

"This proves once again that lanli is indeed a newcomer, a newcomer with no experience at all." James gloated, making Lamy laugh.

After laughing, Lan Li took out the address and glanced at it. "I live in... Er, Midtown?"

"Ah, near Koreatown?" James immediately responded, "Lamy also lives in that area. The law and order is not very good at night. It's better to pay attention." As a landlord, James was really familiar with it. "Then we'll go straight to the Sunset Tower Hotel. These two directions are not consistent. It's better to arrive a little earlier. The crew should have arrived. We can prepare in advance so that we can have time to prepare for the interview. "

For lanli, everything is new. Unlike filming, publicity trips such as premieres and magazine interviews are part of the film industry, but they are not directly related to performance. Although Lan Li's interest was not great, he was still curious about his first experience. It was like a siege, standing outside all the time. Now he was able to see the scenery inside the wall. Even if he was not interested, he would have to look at it carefully.

When he arrived at the Sunset Tower Hotel, lanli was a bit surprised. It seemed that the gate with only two cars to park was a bit of a small family. It was hidden behind a simple flower bed. It was neither grand nor gorgeous, and even inferior to many four-star hotels. So why is the annual Oscar night held in Vanity Fair held here?

James stopped the car at the door, and the waiter in black suit met him. When he opened the door and saw the trunk in the back compartment, the waiter turned back and called for him, and the luggage boy followed him. Lenley habitually walked straight ahead, and only after a few steps did he react and stop - the life of the previous 20 years, In and out of such occasions, he has been used to leaving all the trivial matters to the porter for a long time, so that he has forgotten. First, he is poor now, and second, he is not here to stay today.

Looking back, Lan Li saw the luggage boy carrying his luggage, with a smile on his face. Since people have already provided services, let it be. As a result, Langley once again stepped into this seemingly shabby Sunset Tower Hotel and walked into the heart of Hollywood for the first time.
