Chapter 659

Paul sat quietly in the passenger seat, looking lonely.

Langley thought it was just a normal reaction after drinking, but without warning, Paul said, "Valentino just set a trap to make me jump, right? Because of fan

Paul is not stupid. He just has a good idea in his heart. He doesn't want to treat everyone as a bad person; Just willing to believe that in this world, good people are always more than bad people, and friends are always more than enemies. This trust is so precious and rare. Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to cherish it.

Langley could detect the loneliness and disappointment in Paul's words, and he could not help sighing in his heart. It reminds him of Chris Hemsworth.

But Langley knew that Paul didn't need comfort or sympathy, he just needed time and support. So instead of talking about chicken soup, he said with a smile, "I'm still waiting for your thanks."

Paul was stunned by this response, and then he responded: if it wasn't for Langley, he would be the one who is lying beside the swimming pool and vomiting in the dark. If it wasn't for Langley, what happened in Michael's office today would not disappear from his mind so quickly. Life is always like this, lost some, got some, he should learn to cherish what he has. His heart is clear.

Involuntarily, Paul laughed and nodded seriously, "thank you." Sincerely.

But the smile just lingered in the corner of his mouth for a moment, then froze. Paul took a deep breath and said, "Neil is ready to nod to Andy's request, but Van refuses. Fan threatens Michael and Neil that if you join the cast, he will quit. "

Lan Li raised her eyebrows and closed her jaw with profound meaning.

Paul asked, "what, did you expect?"

Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "I can't say I expected it, but I'm not surprised. Fan is a smart man. " Universal Pictures doesn't need to think too long about making a choice between fan and lanli. It's not Schrodinger's cat. Maybe fan is not the top smart type, but he knows how to maximize the benefits of his chips.

"What should we do now?" Paul uses "we," not "you.".

"This is the reason why I came to audition today," he said

Paul thought about it seriously and suddenly realized, "Jeff robinov!" This is the leader of Warner Bros. production department, the top big man in the industry, and Warner Bros. is the best developed film company in Hollywood in the past decade. Jeff is absolutely powerful. Compared with universal pictures, Warner Bros. has made a great contribution.

If you think about the busyness of today's party, Paul is surprised. "Good news?" After catching the smile from the corner of lanli's mouth, Paul pounded his seat. The whole person jumped up and laughed heartily, "tell me, hurry up, what kind of project is it?"

"Science fiction action type, 100 million budget, actor, script blacklist." Langley simply uses a few key words to complete the description, but that's enough. Paul can't help whistling.

With this information alone, Paul can piece together a general outline: This is definitely a better opportunity than Luke Hobbes, all-round.

When everyone thinks that it is absolutely impossible for Langley to give up the "speed and passion" series, when Michael forthrie and van diesel still think that they have the power of life and death, and when Universal Pictures is haggling over the pay once again, Langley has gone ahead, showing more profound potential than van and Paul.

In comparison, the value of "speed and passion" sequel is not much competitive. Ask any Hollywood actor: one is the same supporting role in the sequel film, and the other is the absolute protagonist in the new film. Only one of the two can be chosen, and more than 99% of the actors will choose the latter.

Paul can even imagine how much shock this news will detonate in the "speed and passion" crew. This makes Paul a little helpless, but also funny. His mood is really contradictory. "To be honest, even if fan and Michael nodded and agreed, you didn't intend to join the sequel, did you?"

"No, I'll do it." "I'm serious," he said sincerely. However, I have a request, in the sequel, can I drag racing together? You know, in the fifth movie, I was only in charge of fighting and racing. I'm really sorry about that. " Paul laughed and nodded his head to show his approval.

What Paul didn't know was that Michael and van der Waals didn't intend to compromise from the beginning; Just like last year, Neil and van didn't plan to agree to Donne Johnson's demand.

After laughing, Paul felt a sense of loss, and now he is almost certain that Langley will not appear in the sequel. For a moment, he didn't want to play any more, he didn't want to compete with fan, he didn't want to fight with the crew, he didn't want to face the fragmented mess.

"No." The voice of Raleigh made Paul come back and turn his head. Then he saw the helpless smile on Raleigh's face and shook his head. "I said, No. You should stay and continue to play. "

Paul was stunned for a moment. He was dumbfounded. Did I just say that He thought he was just saying it in his head.

"Yes, you said, 'I don't want to play anymore.'" Raleigh's affirmative reply made Paul chuckle. "But you should stay." "It's not van diesel's series, it's not your series. This is your, van's, Jordan's, Gail's, everyone's series. The success of the film is something you've done together. "

That's the truth“ The success of "Iron Man" is due to Robert Downey Jr“ The success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is due to Johnny Depp; But the success of "speed and passion" is not because of a specific person, but because of the dedication and efforts of the whole group.

"What's more, didn't we say that the last time we were in New York? You like the series, you like the feel of racing. " Langley looked at Paul with a smile and said sincerely, "you should stay. You know, if someone wants to kick me out of the "detached" group, or refuse to let me play "crazy love", I will fight until the last moment, and you should do the same

Paul's mouth can't help rising and rising again. His whole brain is dizzy. It seems that until now, alcohol has begun to invade his brain, but it's a very delicate feeling. It's light and floating, like walking in the clouds. He closed his eyes and slowly leaned back to the chair. "I think so."

"What's more, you don't want to see 'speed and passion' become a 'van diesel agent series'. Have you seen extreme agent and star legend Langley's light words were full of irony and banter. Paul chuckled and asked, "have you seen it?"

"Bad." Lanli's witty exclamation seemed to be that the secret of his shame had been revealed, which made Paul laugh more brightly.

His head was still on the back of the chair, and he turned his head and opened his eyes. "They'll regret it. It's not because I'm your friend. As an audience, it's a great pity that Luke Hobbes is missing in the sequel. " Paul said regretfully, "I was looking forward to playing you head-on in the sequel."

"This is Hollywood. Without anyone, it won't stop working." Originally, it was just unintentional words, but when Langley looked at Paul in front of him, his words stopped suddenly“ "Speed and passion" did not end in the seventh book, which was followed by not only the eighth, but also another trilogy. How realistic, how cold, how ridiculous.

Lanli's words were cut off abruptly. Paul opened his eyes in a puzzled way. Lanli shook his head casually. "I mean, as long as universal pictures can make money, this series will continue to shoot, no matter it's me or fan."

For example, "Jurassic Park" series, starring almost every replacement; For another example, the "X-Men" series, a "reversal of the future", overthrows all the previous story clues, turns the dead into the living, and then fights another 300 rounds.

"Our cooperation opportunities are everywhere. If we miss this time, there will always be another one." Langley's words aroused Paul's query. He had to explain, "I'm serious. This afternoon, the work I discussed with Jeff was quite interesting. Now the script has not been determined, but there are several interesting characters in it. They are not the second and third protagonists, but just members of the team. The specific parts need to be determined by the director before we can share our ideas, but... "

"Interesting." Paul grinned and said, "I know what you mean, but it's an interesting proposal."

Generally speaking, after Hollywood actors become protagonists, they rarely "regress" back to supporting roles, because it is often regarded as the starting point of their career decline. But the call of a close friend, or the call of a famous director, is another matter. Paul was the same. His last supporting role was five years ago, because Clint Eastwood played a soldier in "the flag of the fathers" and was not one of the main core actors.

"Friendship. I haven't tried it before. " Paul laughed merrily. "I'll ask Lucas to call back."

With that, Paul's eyes closed again. After he was drunk, he seemed to be tired and fell asleep. Langley thought, is to stay in place for a while, let Paul rest; Or go back to Paul's apartment and let him have a good rest at home.

Without waiting for Lan Li to think, the ringing of the mobile phone broke the silence in the car. It's not Lanley's cell phone.

Paul woke up with a start, vaguely took out his cell phone from his pants pocket and said vaguely, "this is Paul." But the next second, Paul sat up straight, his head hit the ceiling, he grinned and rubbed his head, but the shock in his expression still did not disappear, "Er, er, I'll come right now."
