Chapter 55

"Six hundred cases of beer, seventy cases of whisky, forty cases of brandy and forty cases of tequila. Is the quantity right? "

The truck uncle in front of him confirmed it with the list. Lanli stood beside him, holding the number recorded just after the list was finished in the warehouse. After browsing and confirming one by one, he nodded, "that's right!" Then he took the order and signed his name in the receiver column at the top, "where's the red wine? When will Stanley's reservation arrive? "

"Next Monday." Truck uncle skillfully replied, "are you going to hold up this weekend?"

"No problem this weekend." After lanli signed, he handed the bill to uncle. Uncle tore off one of the copies and handed it to lanli, "but it's better to arrive on time on Monday. We'll be out of stock by Thursday." It's until Thursday, but the situation at the weekend is unpredictable, maybe not until Monday.

"Yes, we will be on time." Uncle picked up his things and said with a smile, but he didn't mean to leave.

Lan Li was ready to turn around. Seeing his uncle's inquiring eyes, he stopped a little and said with a smile, "it's hard. I hope everything goes well today."

Seeing that Lan Li was ready to leave, uncle didn't hold back and yelled, "are you the guy? Blue Looking up, Lan Li could see the excitement on uncle's face. "Your performance is really good, even if I'm such a rough man, I can see it. It's really good!"

"Oh." Lanli chuckled. "This is the best affirmation of my work." Without modesty or pride, Langley accepted the praise calmly.

"I didn't expect you to work here. I thought, shouldn't people like you tour around? Living under a magnesium lamp? " Uncle heartily laughed, no malicious, just curious, "I'm looking forward to seeing your next performance, let you work here, it's really overqualified." While saying this, uncle turned back and sat in the driver's seat again.

Lan Li's eyebrows were slightly tufted. He always felt strange, but he couldn't say it again. Suddenly, his head was shining. He opened his mouth and said half jokingly, "I didn't expect you to subscribe to HBO." Most of the users who subscribe to HBO are white-collar families. Blue collar workers like truck drivers don't have much interest in HBO.

“HBO？” It was followed by a burst of laughter, "I don't subscribe to such expensive and boring things." Uncle seemed to hear today's best joke, patted the steering wheel, and then showed a big smile to Lan Li, "hard work! Then I'll go first. There are three more stores to deliver! " With that, the truck started, and gradually left the alley at the back door of the Pioneer Village in the roaring sound of the engine.

Lan Li stood in the same place and thought carefully. If Uncle van didn't subscribe to HBO, why did he know him? Then, Lan Li shook his head and threw out all his confused thoughts. Although the other party doesn't subscribe to HBO at home, it doesn't mean that he can't watch the "Pacific War" in other places; Or it is possible to see the essence of the play on the tubing. It is also possible that now the Internet age, all the dissemination of information has become fast and widespread. Anything is possible, isn't it?

Just now that kind of strange feeling, must be his own wishful thinking, raised his right hand, vigorously rubbed his hair, re rolled short hair disordered order, as if in this way, it can reduce the weight of some thoughts in my mind.

After the "Pacific War" was broadcast, in fact, lanli's life did not change much. Although the discussion on the Internet and the media was very lively, the hot attention focused on the drama one after another, and lanli also became the vortex center of public opinion; But in fact, lanli can't feel the surging upsurge at all. It seems that the fanaticism on TV, the surging on the Internet, and the boiling in the newspaper have nothing to do with lanli. Everything happens in another country that is divorced from real life, a country with a spotlight, and lanli still lives outside the spotlight.

He still insists on working in Pioneer Village every day, still looking for opportunities to perform off Broadway, and still unremittingly looking for job opportunities in the American actors union, but the harvest is very limited. He only has two auditions, one is too young for him, the other is too theatrical for his performance, and they both fail.

Strictly speaking, lanli's life is no different from before. The only difference is that in the scene just now, occasionally in the street, you can meet some people to recognize him, and then discuss two plots with a happy face. That's all.

This is the first time that Langley has personally felt the subtle differences in the entertainment industry, especially the differences between film and television. There is a huge gap between a successful film and a successful TV series. Of course, this is only relative. If it is the heyday of friends, any actor walking on the street can cause a sensation.

"Pacific War" as a mini drama, but also in HBO such need to pay cable TV channel broadcast Mini drama, influence is more limited.

So, with the hot discussion on the Internet, the attention of the news media, and the ups and downs of the play, lanli has no experience at all. He is more like a spectator, just like other ordinary viewers, watching the chaos on the small screen of the TV. It's really a wonderful feeling.

No wonder people always say that it's not difficult to enter Hollywood, as long as you have a good skin bag; But it is very difficult to occupy a place in Hollywood; As for getting to the top of Hollywood's pyramid, it's hard. Now, lenley is beginning to feel real.

Pushing the back door, Langley went all the way back to the front of the bar, looking for the figure of Stanley Charlson. But before he found Stanley, he saw a group of people around the table, talking noisily, "what's the number? What time is it“ The top 50 must be in the top 50 "... Then there was a dull voice in the crowd, which could not be heard clearly outside. Then everyone raised their hands and cheered," Wow! "

Lan Li turned around and walked towards the crowd, sticking out his head and trying to join in, "what's the matter? What happened? "

Unexpectedly, hearing lanli's voice, everyone looked as if they were in a panic. Then everyone began to push him out, "it's OK, it's OK", "just watching... Er...", "rugby!"“ Yes, Rugby "... The playful voice became more and more guilty, and the gesture of wanting to cover up was really obvious.

Lan Li didn't resist either. After being pushed out for a while, he waited for everyone to release his strength. Then he turned around and his calm eyes fell on his friends. The smile at the corner of his mouth made everyone avoid their eyes. He didn't dare to look directly at Lan Li. Seeing what else Janice black wanted to defend, Langley shook her head and said with a smile, "you're the least secretive people in the world. Come on, what's going on? Rather than let me guess here, you should take the initiative to tell me. "

The understatement had an irresistible dignity. You push me and I push you and wink at each other, but no one spoke. Lanli raised his chin and looked back. "Neil Tucson, now is the last time for you to confess. If you miss it, there will be no next time."

The joking words can even feel the gentle smile at the corner of lanli's mouth, but Neil's step to steal is to stay in the same place, not from a scalp numb, "Hey, hey." Neil grinned twice, ready to cover up, but then everyone looked at him. Janice said, "it's Neil's idea. It's all Neil's idea."

"Yes Others raised their fingers and pointed at Neil, who was standing behind the crowd. It was obvious that Neil was going to carry the black pot on his back. The scene was really spectacular.

Now Neil jumped, "guys, you can't leave me like this!" Neil held the computer in his arms. "It's a proposal that we all passed. It's not just me! Stanley, where's Stanley? " Looking left and right, Neil didn't find Stanley. He began to gnash his teeth. "Lenley, believe me, this is everyone's idea. I'm just the executor, really."

This time, Lan Li is confused. What's the matter? Why doesn't he have a clue.

However, Lan Li didn't show up, but continued to maintain his dignity, quietly, waiting for Neil to confess leniency.

Sure enough, Neil opened the computer in his hand and put it on the desktop beside lanli, "lanli, are you ready to accept the surprise gift?" Gifts? What is that? It's half a year before his birthday“ Please see Neil solemnly said, and then turned the computer screen to blue, and finally opened the mystery.

Lanli sat down and looked at it carefully. On the screen was the page of iTunes, which showed the list of instant single downloads. "What do I want to see now?" Randy scanned at random, didn't understand, Neil pointed to the screen, and then Randy saw the line: "48, Cleopatra, Randy hall."

Langley opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He forgot, he really completely forgot, he forgot that he had recorded Cleopatra as a gift for Stanley. It was... Three months ago.

Lanli took it for granted that this ballad single would not stir up any waves. In a flash, it would be submerged in the wave of countless single songs. He didn't pay attention to it at all, so that when he saw the iTunes list just now, he didn't remember that he had recorded a single song, but he never thought of it, Now I saw my single in the top 50 of the download charts. This, this is really unexpected in a dream.

"Top 50! Lan Li, do you see that? " Cleopatra's in the top 50 on the list of instant downloads on iTunes Neil said excitedly, his voice trembling uncontrollably. "Next, maybe we can make it to the billboard singles list!"
