It was a sleepless night. The bustle of the Pioneer Village continued. At 9:30, the performance had come to an end, but the surge of people continued until 11:00. Most of the supporters left one after another, but a small part stayed, drinking beer and talking. Later, some party animals heard the noise and ran to them. They seemed to make up their mind to have a carnival all night.
Leaving the surrounding, Langley came to the bar and knocked on the table. "Neil, give me a soda."
He needs to moisten his throat now, and his workload tonight is comparable to that of his performance in the west end; And it's not just the throat, it's the wrist.
Move your wrist to relieve the pain. Since he spent eight hours practicing piano in his childhood, it seems that his wrist has not taken such a severe challenge. Tonight, he wakes up his childhood memories again. He can't remember whether he signed 200 or 300 copies. After 50 times of signing, counting has lost its meaning.
Andy, sitting next to him, looked at lanli and laughed, "you know, you don't have to be so honest." Lanli turned his head and cast a puzzled look. Andy added, "even those professional singers are usually limited to one number, one hundred or one hundred and fifty at the signing ceremony. After the signing, it's over."
Usually, Lan Li is wise, calm and even cunning, but today he is so sincere and honest that he is a little silly. It's really amusing.
Lenley took the soda from Neil's hand and said with a smile, "that's not surprising. I'm not a professional singer. " With that, Langley poured soda down his throat, took a long breath and said, "Neil, I'll go back first. You say hello to George and Stanley Then, without any pause, Langley strode toward the door.
"Lan Li, Lan Li!" Neil also tried to stop blue, but only to see a figure, helplessly gently shook his head“ I also want to say thank you... "
Just now, Lan Li's understatement revealed the common people's mind and sophistication. He was not a professional singer, so he didn't need to plan as carefully as they did, but treated people with sincerity.
Involuntarily, Andy's never falling radian adds a clear smile to his heart. When he turns around, he finds Roy sitting in the same place, a little distracted. His thoughtful meditation ripples in the light of the bar.
"Let's go." Andy patted Roy on the shoulder. "Something happened. Let's go to Langley's apartment."
At the end of today's meeting, he wondered if he would go to the Caribbean in person. Lanli is on holiday. According to the principle, he doesn't intend to disturb unless it's urgent or important. But this time, it's just an important thing. It's not convenient to talk with each other because it's separated from the whole Caribbean; However, if he flew there in person, he would not be able to catch Langley, and he was not sure if Roy still needed to participate in it——
As a rule, managers and agents report to the artists in the end. The reason why Roy chose the previous script was mainly due to the running in of cooperation. But this time, the situation is different. He needs to communicate with Lan Li directly. So, does Langley want Roy to be involved? Or does Roy need to be involved?
Now, however, all the doubts have been solved. Lanli came back ahead of time, and things immediately became a lot easier.
Andy stands up, with a beer belly, and staggers out of the Pioneer Village; Roy didn't get up immediately. Instead, he sat in the same place and kept silent for a while. Then he laughed. He picked up the draft beer next to him, poured the rest into his mouth, looked left and right, and said to Neil, "tell Nathan that he will continue to have a holiday tonight. Don't worry. He will go back to work tomorrow."
Then, Roy put down his glass, got up and left. When he came to the door of the bar, lanli and Andy were already in the taxi. He also sat in the back seat, closed the door, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and left.
When Nathan came back to himself, he found out, "well, where are they?"
After getting into the taxi, Lan Li closed his eyes. He just wanted to close his eyes for a while, but he didn't think that he was too tired and fell asleep. First came the long flight, then the Mount Sinai Hospital, and then the performance of the Pioneer Village in the evening. Langley was really tired from the bumpy journey. Of course, a large part of the reason is that he has not been able to recover from the leisurely state of vacation——
According to the biological clock of vacation, you can either revel in the party or go to sleep early after surfing and diving all day. Now, it seems that Langley's biological clock is more in line with the latter.
It's only a ten minute drive from Pioneer Village to Langley's apartment. Roy had to wake up Langley and the three of them went upstairs“ The sound of the door roller sliding on the rail rippled the quiet moonlight around him. Roy consciously stayed at the end and closed the door again after two people entered the house.
Lanli found a comfortable place in the corner of the sofa. His heavy eyelids seemed to droop again. However, the vibration from his pants pocket made him not lose consciousness immediately.
Stunned for a moment, he took out his cell phone and opened it to see that it was a text message sent by Heather, which said, "thirty minutes ago, Alex's operation ended. I'm fine for the time being. It's still in the critically ill room for observation. "
In a flash, all the sleepers were swept away. Lan Li widened his eyes and read it again. He could not help but fly up in his mood and outlined it with the corners of his mouth. Adjusted the sitting posture, quickly replied a text message, "a friend, don't you need to get up early tomorrow to practice guitar? Now I don't sleep. I think someone is ready to be lazy. "
After clicking send, the brain fills in the expression when Heather receives the message and chuckles twice. Put the phone on the table and look up at Roy and Andy sitting down, "I'm going to have a beer. Which of you is going to join me? " That comfortable brow, outline a touch of light, like clear spring general, against the bright moonlight.
Andy and Roy are both stunned. The huge gap in the moment is completely unknown.
"Lan Li..." Andy, as an agent, still had to ask, his eyes fell on the mobile phone of the coffee table, "are you in love?" It was the most likely guess in his mind. After all, it's perfectly normal for Langley to meet a beautiful woman and start dating on those Caribbean islands just after his vacation.
Lanli walked into the kitchen. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing. "I thought your imagination was more than that." Although there is no positive response, the subtext is obvious: "don't worry, if I start dating, I promise you will know faster than paparazzi."
Andy chuckles twice to understand the meaning of Lan Li; And Roy asked, "what's going on? Is there anything good going on? "
"Yes, it's a good thing." Lanli took a bundle of beer and put it on the tea table, indicating that they could enjoy it at will. "I've been a volunteer in Mount Sinai Hospital. This afternoon, a lovely child underwent a heart transplant operation. I just learned that the operation is over. Everything is OK for the time being. He is now resting. I'll see him again before I go to Toronto. "
Andy knows more about Mount Sinai Hospital, but it's the first time Roy has heard about it. He can't help but look at Andy, and the two exchange a line of sight, and Roy is relieved. There are more important things tonight. The topic of Mount Sinai Hospital can be discussed later.
"You two can't wait to come here. You can't even wait till tomorrow. It seems urgent." Lanli opened the beer and took a big drink. Although the topic was serious, his smile was very relaxed. Tonight's beautiful, everything can't compare with that text message of heather.
Andy adjusted his sitting posture to find the right position. Then he said, "yes. Recently, globegroup has been pressing harder and harder. On the one hand, they are using the public opinion of the media to put pressure on you. Inside and outside, they are implying that you are asking for too much money... "
"How much did you ask for before?" Lanli interrupts Andy and asks.
"Seven million." Recently, Andy has never been idle, hanging around Universal Pictures. He will attend every meeting, but the progress of every discussion is not great. It's not that he won't give up. It's that the extent of his compromise is very limited. Now he's still holding on to $7 million. This is also an important reason why Universal Pictures is constantly exerting pressure.
Lan Li gently closed his jaw, "it seems that I really have a big appetite."
This self teasing made Andy laugh, and then he said, "this is just the beginning. I haven't talked with them about the box office bonus. If I can't bear it now, then I think it's the best choice to get together and break up. " open one's mouth wide? Andy doesn't think so. Even if it's not $10 million, universal pictures needs to show enough sincerity, rather than choose to quit at the beginning.
Andy is not a good-natured person, let alone a soft persimmon.
Lan Li gently picked her eyebrows and didn't say much. He doesn't have a special idea about the pay per se, but he knows that the pay for commercial films is definitely not as simple as personal income. What's more, he is not a saint who doesn't eat fireworks. It's natural for him to win higher rewards through his own labor and higher recognition through his own value.
As for the specific requirements of the pay, lanli believes that this is Andy's major, and he should know better than himself.
"On the other hand, they also began to exert pressure through their own means. Michael Forrest has no plans to let go Andy continued.
