Paul is not a person who is good at hiding his mind. He always has sunshine and shyness on his open face. All his emotions are clear at a glance.
It was just a casual joke, which easily exposed Paul.
Looking up at Langley's surprised expression, Paul rubbed his hair hard, as if to sweep away all the irritation. He bit his teeth and said, "I'm sorry. I couldn't stop it. I tried, I tried to talk to Michael, I tried to talk to Neil, but they all just said, I just want to do my job well and leave other things to them. It's not right. It's not right. I try to tell them that it's unfair and stupid, but... "
Looking at Paul's expression of disgust and indignation, Langley was confused. He thought that if he listened carefully, things would gradually understand, but in fact, the more he listened, the more confused he was, and the more question marks he had on his head, he had to interrupt Paul's words, "what are you trying to stop? What are you trying to talk about? You know, before you go to the priest, you need to tell the story
Paul, too, was stunned. He rolled his eyes two times and said hesitantly, "I'm... Trying... To stop them from making mistakes. They don't see the importance of you and refuse to give you the corresponding attention. This is not only shortsighted, but also wrong. Fan can't do that. They know that fan is aiming at you, but they still agree with fan's absurd suggestions. "
"Wait a minute." Lanli raised his hand again, and he vaguely grasped some key points. But today, he was too practical to use his brain. Now he needs to have a rest, and he is too lazy to use his brain. So, he stopped Paul for the second time, "starting from the beginning. Are you talking about speed and passion 5? "
"No, I'm talking about the sequel." Paul then responded, his eyes wide and his face full of consternation, "don't you know? Didn't your agent talk to you about the sequel? "
"During the filming, I tried to get rid of outside interference as much as possible." Lanli was still slow and relaxed, drinking coffee and tasting the fragrance of coffee. "I think Andy should have mentioned it to Nathan. Nathan and I mentioned it, but I didn't care at that time. What's up? Isn't the movie still on? Why are you so anxious about the sequel? "
Paul was stunned, then showed a sudden look, "so, you don't know anything?" After receiving the affirmative reply from Langley, Paul pauses for a moment, then loses his smile and realizes his own "Oolong" just now. "Yes, the sequel has been discussed now. They can't wait to start thinking about the next money making plan. " Paul also made a rare taunt, but the bright smile made the taunt sunny.
"Now they're talking about the story, the framework, the characters, the content and so on of the sequel. You know, build a blueprint for the whole sequel. " Paul said directly from the beginning, "fan is also one of the producers. He told others that you are not so important to the sequel, and they should not give you special treatment, not only in terms of roles, but also in terms of film remuneration. Do you know how much they're going to pay you? "
It was originally a question, but before Langley could open his mouth, Paul had already asked himself, "three and a half million dollars!" And it's a way to be angry.
"Don't they realize it's a mistake? Fan is just lying. He and you don't deal with each other. As we all know, he is obviously avenging himself, confusing right and wrong, and talking nonsense. As a result, everyone else is confused.
Everyone can see that this time the work can achieve such a breakthrough success, most of it is thanks to you, and they have to listen to fan's nonsense one by one! What a shame!
This is not the right way to treat the colleagues of the crew, nor is it the right way to treat the heroes of the crew. I think they are all confused. They completely forget how hard you tried to do when you were in the production group. Fan is like a young girl in puberty, and he is in his own mood. This is ridiculous!
I can't believe Universal Pictures will be so confused and make such stupid mistakes. Do they know what they are doing? "
It's really strange for Paul to be garrulous, foaming and impassioned.
Paul, whom Langley is familiar with, is a gentle old man who smiles all day. Even if someone offends him, he waves his hand to show that he is OK; When talking about surfing, my eyes always glow involuntarily; Far away from the limelight, he is doing charity in obscurity. He never thinks that there is anything special about the career of actor, and always maintains a modest and low-key style.
But today, Paul shows another side of his temper.
Such a true nature of Paul, let the bottom of blue Li's heart flow a trace of warmth.
What he knows and clearly knows is that universal pictures is not stupid. They have no personal grudges with Lan Li and he fan. At most, they are driven by interests. As long as they have enough interests, universal pictures will change its mind. The reason why they stand on fan's side is only because they are not willing to let go of their interests.
They are the ones who have their own stand. Fan was his enemy, so he tried every means to make him uncomfortable; Paul is his friend, so he is fighting for him both inside and outside. They are unreasonable, because they are guarding their own position.
Looking at Paul, who was full of complaints, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose.
He is lucky, this life missed family affection, but made a lot of real friends. Especially in Hollywood, a colorful Vanity Fair, it's very rare to make such sincere friends as Paul.
Paul's eyes fell on lanli's face, and then he saw the smile. He was stunned, frowned, and hurriedly said, "are you in no hurry now? It's going to be hot! I went to Neil, Michael and two other producers, but it didn't seem to work! If it goes on like this, maybe they will just kick you out of the game! "
Paul was so worried that he patted lanli on the arm. Lanli quickly stretched out the coffee to avoid the hot coffee spilling on his clothes. This action made Paul quickly stretch out his hands and carefully protect lanli's coffee. After ensuring that it didn't spill out, his impatient temper was calmed down again.
Paul breathed heavily, leaned back in his chair and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I had found out earlier, if I had been a producer in the first place... It would be different now. "
"Ha ha." Lanli chuckled, which made Paul angry. He glanced at lanli speechlessly. Then he looked at lanli's relaxed expression, which was ridiculous and funny. He tried to suppress the impulse of smiling. But he still couldn't resist it. He laughed directly, shook his head and had no way to take lanli.
"It's not your responsibility." Raleigh patted Paul on the shoulder. "Believe me, it's not your responsibility. If Universal Pictures chooses not to use me in the sequel, it's their decision; If I choose to protest and don't get the result I want, it's my agent's responsibility. Paul, you are my friend, but you don't have to be responsible for my work
"But..." Paul tilted his head and looked at Lan Li with a depressed face. He was not a good talker. There were countless words in his mind, but he couldn't express them. Finally, he could only say with a depressed face, "but fan didn't mean it to you."
"So do you think I'll be afraid of him?" Lanli's understated words have strong self-confidence, not to mention that the matter has not settled yet, it is just a preliminary discussion, and the road is still long; Even if a sequel agreement was signed, in the process of shooting the sequel, Lan Li didn't have stage fright in the face of fan.
Paul blinked and looked at the blue gift, who picked up the coffee and tasted it slowly. He found that he had no way to refute it“ But he's one of the producers, and if he doesn't let go, there's no room for maneuver. " After that, Paul realized that van diesel was an insurmountable wall, so he got depressed.
Universal Pictures is one of the six largest film companies, and its confrontation with artists always occupies a congenital advantage. Even for top players like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, it takes a lot of effort to seize the advantage in the game. If you don't tear your face carefully, it's the artists who suffer after the chicken flies and the egg hits.
What Paul means, Langley knows. After entering Hollywood, from the door into the door, lanli also gradually peeked into the truth of this Vanity Fair, especially signed Andy as the agent, lanli also understood that in the real society, talent is not everything, dream is not, the exchange of interests, need to pay, can get.
"Paul, why did you become an actor?" In the face of Paul's worries, Langley began to chat.
Paul did not wonder, but seriously thought, "at the beginning, there was no special idea, just because my mother was a model, and then I began to be a model when I was two years old; Later, when I was a child, I went to audition for several works and became an actor
Paul was born as a child star, but Hollywood's child stars are always in trouble. Take a look at the iron law of Hollywood: never shoot a film with children and animals in it. Paul is not one of many famous child stars in history.
"But when I grew up, I had other choices." It was just a simple question, but Paul said to himself, "in the end, I chose actors because I could travel everywhere, because I could experience different lives, because I felt happy."
