In fact, whether Hollywood or London aristocracy, Vanity Fair has no bottom line. It's just that shamelessness and greed are all hidden under the bright skin. They can always easily deceive others. Their eyes are all on the dazzling halo, so that they ignore the darkness and decay under the light.
The bottom line of aristocracy in London is the reputation and dignity of "surname", while the bottom line of Hollywood is absolute interests. In front of such a bottom line, everything else can stand aside.
It's that simple.
Similarly, lenley also has his bottom line and persistence. He doesn't think that he can change the rules of the whole world with his own power; However, he will not be pessimistic that in the face of social and class constraints, he has no choice but to surrender.
He has his pride, he will stick to his bottom line and insist, even if the outcome is broken. He looks forward to one day in the future, his persistence can change the world a little, at least his surroundings; If not, it doesn't matter, because he can have a clear conscience.
This was the case in the face of Natalie Portman's request at the Toronto Film Festival. Later, it was the same with Melissa bainoist and van diesel. Now it is the same with Thomas tour. The bottom line and persistence of lenley have never changed - some things are not impossible but unwilling to do.
"I refuse."
"I will not."
This is Lan Li's answer, there is no detour, there is no cover, so directly cut off all possible. He can choose a more tactful and gentle way, but he doesn't think it's necessary.
Langley's rude refusal did not leave any face, which made Thomas a little surprised, and then he became angry
No one dares to talk to him like this, even Lang Meyer and Steven Spielberg. So who is the actor in front of us?
"Are you insane?" Thomas tried to control his impulse to scold rude words, and expressed his anger at the moment with relatively elegant sentences. The tense voice showed his emotion on the verge of explosion at the moment, because he was too angry. After reaction, Thomas laughed angrily and looked at Langley as if he was looking at an idiot, "do you know what you are saying? Do you know who you're dealing with? "
However, lanli was still as still as a mountain, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose lightly - it was too dazzling in Thomas' eyes, and his anger began to gurgle.
"I'm just curious why everyone always emphasizes this sentence when they are extremely angry, trying to prove the absurdity of the whole thing. But the problem is that if I really don't know who I'm talking to, it just proves that my personality is like this. Even if you emphasize it, it's just humiliating. What do you think? "
Lan Li's posture of talking and laughing was really too calm, and the superior's aura was sent out from the inside out.
Instead, Thomas calmed down - tough as he was, it didn't mean he was a fool. In the positive contest of this game, it is obvious that no one who has a loud voice can win. Therefore, he needs to calm down before he can fight against Lan Li, right?
Langley is also keen to capture the subtle changes in Thomas' mood. Instead of being nervous, he is on the right track, because this means that Thomas has also got rid of the entanglement of negative emotions. Now it's time to talk about business, and both sides can keep their heads in order to start a conversation.
"I don't care what Bryce and Seth think, and I don't care whether Lang and the propaganda department have passed such a proposal. This is the end of the matter. I will think that all this is just nonsense. I won't take it seriously. Let's treat this conversation as if it never happened."
Solemnly, Lan Li clearly and accurately emphasized his position and cut off any possibility of misunderstanding.
But how could Thomas compromise easily? To be more precise, how could Thomas easily get blue Lilly to give orders?
"I don't know who gave you the courage, so arrogant, so arrogant and so arrogant, it seems that the whole world revolves around you. Is it because actors stand in the spotlight for years and then really think they control the world? " Thomas narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly, word by word.
The sarcastic words were full of sharp and sharp attack, like a sharp blade, and attacked lanli, "who do you think you are? You think you can give me orders? Only those actors who really don't have brains will have this illusion. It seems that they have autonomy. But let me tell you, all of you are in our hands. You are just commodities, puppets used to make profits! Big star? Well, that's the most ridiculous word in the world. "
"Let me tell you, I won't treat what you just said as if it didn't happen. Every word and every sentence remains in my mind. You will pay for your own stupidity." Thomas's eyes burst out a sharp and tough force, powerful momentum, full-scale release, "now regret? It's too late! "
Thomas's mouth reveals a touch of cruelty, and the pleasure of mastering the power of his life is constantly bursting out. He likes the moment when those bright top stars on the stage are fooled by him, and the taste of turning their hands into clouds and rain is even more exciting than drugs.
However, Lan Li was not as flustered as expected, and there was no fear and retreat. He was not even stiff at all, and he could not find any emotional fluctuations.
Thomas's expression was slightly stiff, which was not the scene he expected to see. "Don't think you have the initiative. You have signed a contract with the crew. Now you can't easily break the contract. No matter what, you have to finish shooting this work; And during the filming, if I let out the news publicly, do you think you can stop me? Do you think you can stop the whole crew? Daydreaming
Thomas is slightly out of his way.
He knows, he admits. In the past year, Thomas was defeated in many battles, and Lang Meyer finally chose to compromise, which made a series of strategies of Langley succeed. For Thomas, it was a heavy blow——
Even Warner Brothers could not force him to submit, but now he lost face in front of blue Li?
Little by little, the negative emotions have accumulated. Thomas has almost reached the limit. Now lanli is standing in front of him, but he still looks noble and inviolable. People can't help tearing his mask and looking at the confusion and embarrassment hidden behind him.
Thomas had tried his best to control, but his words were still a little excited, and his reason was temporarily put behind him.
To be honest, Langley was a little disappointed. After he fought Harvey Weinstein, Barry Mayer, Bob egger and other top leaders in the industry head-on, he could not help but look forward to the rumored Thomas Toure. Since Thomas dares to confront Warner Brothers head-on and does not hide his ambition, he is bound to be a character, but now it seems that he is a man with a heart and a heart Bearing, vision and ability are all at a lower level.
This kind of control is the same level as Chris Hemsworth, but he is the CEO of legendary pictures?
Such a gap is really disappointing.
Thomas immediately caught the disappointment of lanli, because lanli had no intention to cover up. The deep grip and regret in his eyes revealed. Without too much words, he revealed a wave of contempt and disdain, and hit Thomas head-on. He really didn't like this feeling!
"I can't stop you, so... Can you stop me?" Sincerely, lanli doesn't want to quarrel like this, because the technical content is too low, just like a primary school student's quarrel; But looking at Thomas in front of him, Langley had to match his standard, simplify the problem and make it more efficient.
"Of course, you can make gossip. It's your freedom and your ability. I can't stop it. But without my follow-up cooperation, do you think the scandal can continue to be hyped? More importantly, what do you think will happen if I expose your propaganda plan in front of the media? "
Lanli is still lanli. He speaks in a leisurely and unhurried way. It's really annoying. It's not easy to be rational.
"You dare!" Thomas's suppressed anger rolled again, almost gnashing his teeth.
The smile of lanli blooms like this - people always like to ask him this question, but his answer never seems to change, "do you want to try?"
If Lan Li really debunks the crew's "gossip hype" strategy, the negative impact on the film is absolutely unpredictable. Will he really destroy the Great Wall?
But if you think about the fury of the reporters at the hospital and the directness of the Academy Awards, Thomas is not sure.
Langley didn't speak, but Thomas couldn't either.
Langley's smile receded slightly, and then said, "Mr. tour, there is one thing we need to reach an agreement. Do you think that if I really don't follow your idea, what will happen? You shut me down all over Hollywood? You completely cut my Oscar prospects? You make all the movie companies dare not come to me? Or do you just stink my reputation? Do you think you can do it, or do you think I care? "
Thomas opened his mouth, but could not make a sound
What can he do? Or does Langley care?
He suddenly realized that the answer to both questions was no - he felt like a fool.
