Originally, it was just a normal piece of news, but because of the noise of "speed and passion", and also because of van diesel's words, things immediately became interesting. Journalists, like hyenas, smell the unusual smell in the air. Then they open their tusks and rush forward. They will never stop until they tear down a piece of flesh and blood.
For the first time, reporters surrounded Langley who had just landed at LaGuardia Airport in New York. They did not rush to mention fan's speech, but directly asked about the specific situation of "samsara of killing".
To be honest, lanli first confirmed Warner Bros. announcement that he would play "samsara of killing"; After that, he talked about the story and script, and expressed his expectation generously.
If Jeff was at the scene, he would probably laugh, because lanli's answer was the "press release version" at the audition, which was very eloquent, but without substance.
Then the reporter couldn't wait to ask, "you decided to play" samsara of killing ". What about" speed and passion "? What about the next schedule? Do you have any ideas? " There were not many leading questions. It seemed that it was just a normal question, but all the reporters on the scene held their breath. No matter what Lan Li's answer was, they were ready——
Question the renewal of "speed and passion", the implied content of fan's previous words, and the news content of recent period.
"For me, the most important job now is the reincarnation of killing." Lanli's answer was crisp, without any hesitation. The firmness and determination between the words made the reporters ready to move. The abnormal atmosphere became more and more obvious. However, they didn't have time to ask questions, and they didn't need to ask questions. The words behind lanli shocked everyone.
"As for speed and passion, I'm sorry that I can't participate in the subsequent production and performance. I've always been looking forward to being a member of the sequel, but life is like this. Goodbye will come sooner or later, but this time it comes faster. Here, I wish my friends all the best. "
There was no sound, and everyone was shocked. Objectively speaking, this is one of their conjectures, or one of the explosive points they expected. But at this moment, lanli admitted the fact in such a light way, as if it was just a normal thing. There was no warning, absolutely no warning. They were hit by 100000 points of violence, and their brains crashed directly. There was no room for buffering, Collective stupefied in situ.
This scene is very happy, about 50 reporters, no sound, eyes dull, at a loss, like a silent movie in the absurd mime in general. Thick black humor came to my face.
Shallow smile emerged from the bottom of his eyes. Lanli deeply believed that making fun of reporters is a kind of entertainment worth promoting, which is much more interesting than cheering fans“ Then... "Lan Li glanced around and waited for a while. After confirming that there was no question, he pointed to the front and signaled that he was ready to leave.
"What happened to the crew?" Finally someone in the crowd came back to himself and cried out. His voice was shaking slightly, but he couldn't tell whether it was excitement or panic.
"Nothing happened. Everything was fine with the crew." After Lan Li opened his mouth, he could not help but bring a trace of lightness in his voice. Such a state, in the eyes of reporters, but more flustered up - what is this in the end?
"But why don't you go on?" Reporters naturally do not want to be fooled and asked.
Lanli did not panic, shrugged, "in the previous five works, some actors were absent in each one, which is the same reason. There is no special reason, but things just develop like this." In the "speed and passion" series, no one is indispensable unless he is one of the producers.
"Isn't it about van diesel?" Lan Li's outspokenness disrupted the overall plan of the reporters, and some people threw out the meat of the game. "Yesterday, fan hinted in an interview that you chose this... Er, the work gave up 'speed and passion'. Is that right? What's the relationship between you and fan? Is there a problem between you
Aggressive, one problem after another, trying to force Langley into the corner.
Unfortunately, Lan Li did not panic. On the contrary, he could not help smiling, "yes, there are indeed problems between us." "Fan doesn't like surfing, and he's not a sea type person, which makes us lack a common topic. He's really a very difficult object to chat with."
This is not the first time that Langley has made such a statement. Before, the media asked about the relationship between Langley and Paul, but fan was not involved in it. Lanli used this way to answer. Today, put in such an occasion, but added some deep meaning. Especially compared with fan yesterday and Lan Li today, there are great differences in their attitude, tone and expression, which is really intriguing.
"But before in Toronto, you and Paul said you were looking forward to the sequel." Some reporters still indulge in their own thoughts, strongly deny the reality, and do not want to believe that Lan Li has completely missed the sequel of "speed and passion". Or, to be more precise, I don't want to believe that my judgment is wrong.
"I can only say that it is a good wish." With a shrug and a smile, Langley said, "in fact, I talked to Paul about missing the sequel the other day. We are all very sorry. I'm looking forward to racing in the sequel; Paul is looking forward to playing me. Now it seems that such an idea can only be carried out later. "
"It's a pity that fan doesn't surf, otherwise we can have a discussion on the beach, or we can have a chat while waiting for the waves," he added
The relaxed and pleasant tone of conversation conveys a message all the time: This is just a normal and simple Hollywood event. Unfortunately, there must be; Disappointed, but not necessarily. Van diesel missed the second part of the series, Paul Walker missed the third part of the series, and now Langley hall missed the sixth part of the series, which doesn't seem to be a big deal.
All the shock just comes from people's determination that universal pictures will not let go of the rising lanli, that lanli will not miss the golden opportunity, and that the audience's expectation of Hobbes will be answered. But, here is Hollywood, no one is irreplaceable Hollywood, miss a project will have the next opportunity of Hollywood.
So, is it that simple?
"Well, if the schedule is staggered later, or even in the far future, will you still have a chance to play in the series?" From the question, we can feel how turbulent the shock of the news is, and the aftershocks never dissipate. The reporter still firmly grasped the "speed and passion" series and was unwilling to let go.
Lanli said with a smile, "this needs to wait until after the shooting of 'samsara of killing' is over." However, in the current context, journalists have to think more: is it true that everything is said between fan and Lan Li?
The reporters looked at Lan Li, who had many questions to ask, but at this time they got stuck. They looked at Lan Li one by one, only one stuttered and asked, "what's Paul's opinion on this?"
"He wished me good luck. I wish him good luck, too. " Lan Li replied with a smile, and then stepped forward. With the support of assistants and managers, he left the airport, leaving reporters staring at each other.
"Good luck"? Only yesterday did fan use this way of expression, and today lanli uses the same way of expression? Is it a coincidence, or is it intentional? Is it really that simple? Is there really nothing fishy about the inside story? Is there really no grudge between fan and lanli? Is everything really so simple?
If so, it is estimated that most of the reporters at the scene will not believe it. They are not innocent children. The boisterous news in the past has always hinted at the turbulent undercurrent under the surface of calm, but now it ends in such a strange way that I'm afraid no one can easily believe it.
But what happened? Reporters have no way to know, at least not from Lan Li.
After watching Lan Li leave, the reporters gradually come back to their senses, and their confused thoughts gradually become clear: Lan Li quit the sequel production of "speed and passion"! The biggest winner of the fifth box office success of this year's series will not continue to play! Luke Hobbes, the much anticipated character, will quit the big screen!
More importantly, this news is not from Universal Pictures, but from blue ray!
At other times, it's not a big deal. It may just be that Universal Pictures didn't have time to officially release the news, or it may just be that, as Langley said, "the two sides reached a consensus in a friendly way."; But just a few days ago, there was positive news inside Universal Pictures. The contract renewal negotiation has made a breakthrough. Universal Pictures is willing to pay 8 million US dollars to invite Lan Li to play an out story and two sequels. What's the matter now?
Did lenley refuse universal pictures? Is Lan Li still dissatisfied with the $8 million? Is the previous news just a smoke bomb of universal pictures?
In the duel between production companies and actors, the company always has the upper hand, not to mention Universal Pictures is one of the six major Hollywood film companies; But this time, it seems that the actors have taken the lead!
As a result, the reporters became agitated and scattered all over Hollywood, trying to find out the truth
What happened to the cast of "speed and passion 5"? What happened in the negotiation process of sequel and biography? How did things get here step by step? What role did Warner Brothers play in the whole process? What's the use of the inside story“ What kind of work is "samsara of killing"? Why did Langley choose this work? What will happen next?
In a flash, Universal Pictures became the object of attention.
