Standing outside the van, Nina looks back at the closed door again, her eyes full of confusion - what happened just now? She didn't understand, she didn't understand.
It's Lan Li's request, isn't it? But now it's dedicated to the whole crew? If Lan Li is worried about the controversy caused by his playing big cards, he should not put forward those demands at the beginning; Now that the boat has been built, he has come to hypocritically turn the van into the property of the crew and give up the opportunity to enjoy himself. Is this to be an image? But it doesn't make sense! It doesn't make any sense!
God! These top stars are really in trouble!
Nina can't help but get upset again, but on second thought, is lanli really going to open the van to all the crew for public use? Or is it just a polite way to act?
There's no way to sort out one question mark after another. Nina finally has to give up and leave quickly. She still has to find Patrick Crowley and Christopher Lemmer. Damn Lanley, can't the assistant do this little errand work for her? Speaking of assistants, what about Langley's assistants? Why haven't you seen it so far? Today, it seems that Lan Li came to the cast alone. What's the matter? Do big stars want to pretend to be friendly?
Weirdo.
Nina's mind flashed one after another of the thoughts, and finally came to such a conclusion.
As Langley thought, he is not money, how can everyone like it? Under the guidance of preconceived ideas, his ideas are all negative, and his defense and counterattack are hard to be accepted by Nina's staff; Coupled with the opportunistic Thomas, he has been completely passive, any rash action may lead to more trouble.
To fight back, he has to find another way.
Of course, there is another choice, that is to accept it without any burden. With lanli's current position in the industry, any big name treatment is natural. Even if the staff are not satisfied, they can only shut up and accept it. Even the executives of major Hollywood film companies can't refute it face to face.
Thomas spent so much effort on the arrangement that lanli accepted it without any burden. Although the later moves will continue to come up, it is estimated that Thomas will also suffer from internal injuries - after all, his original intention is to respond to lanli.
But the focus has never been on these benefits, but on Thomas' perseverance. Langli knew that if he chose to accept it, it means laissez faire, Thomas would certainly make an inch; However, lanli has never been the type to swallow one's anger. Now someone has called on him. Silence without backhand is not "lanli hall".
"Kowtow".
Without waiting too long, the knock on the door began to ring. Lanli is now the biggest card in the crew. Even the producers dare not neglect it easily. The speed of coming is very fast.
Patrick is a senior producer in Hollywood. He has been in the industry for many years, and he is frequently active on the small TV screen; The representative work of the big screen is the "espionage" series. Due to the relationship between Paul Greengrass, Langley and Patrick once had a brief meeting at a party.
Christopher has a lot of experience. He has worked in Hollywood for more than five years, but his reputation is not obvious because of the nature of his work. His main job is similar to accounting. He controls the expenses of various departments in the process of making movies, and then makes a list and reports it to the producers who are responsible for controlling the cost, It is up to the latter to decide whether spending should be reduced or increased. In short, he is not a producer, but a producer assistant with no real power; At the same time, because he represents the work of cost control, he often has positive conflicts with the director, drama, props and so on, which is a thankless role.
Whether it's Patrick or Christopher, they are on an equal footing with Langley in terms of titles and titles; But the actual power in the crew is not so, Patrick and Christopher are a little low profile.
This is the case at this time.
"Thank you for coming right away." Lanli opened the door and made a welcome gesture.
Patrick was slightly surprised, but his expression was still very well concealed. "Now we haven't officially started shooting, and the crew is just that big. It's just a five minute walk. It's not a big deal."
"How about arriving at the cast today? Is everything ok?" Walking into the van, Patrick habitually exchanged greetings, but there was a slight pause in his words, and his eyes were obviously surprised——
As an executive producer, he has heard about the van and some requests put forward by Langley, but Patrick doesn't take them too seriously. He just takes it for granted that they are just small requests. There's no need to make a fuss. Langley deserves such a high price. But at this time, the shock and accident that he saw with his own eyes emerged. He didn't expect that the actual situation was so exaggerated.
The smile at the corner of blue Li's mouth was also more helpless, "yes, this is what I want to discuss."
Christopher, who followed him, was also seriously looking at the van: all the budgets were handled by him, so it was clear. Now seeing the results, he is also savoring "what has been paid in return for the high cost"; What's more, are you satisfied with lanli?
Christopher did not make complaints about Nina and Tucao, as a producer, he thought this was the power of blue ceremony. Lanli is worthy of such treatment and price - different positions lead to different perspectives on things. He just needs to give orders, while Nina and they need to work hard to turn their ideas into reality and experience different pains and sufferings.
"Why, is there anything I'm not satisfied with? Is there anything that needs continuous improvement? " When he heard the words, Christopher immediately began to ask. After noticing the sight of lanli, he quickly introduced himself and exchanged greetings. "If there is any need, just mention it, we will try our best to meet it."
Lan Li didn't answer. Instead, he gave way and invited two people to sit down. He received them as guests.
Patrick and Christopher are a little nervous, because they are not sure what happened in the end. Even in the short time of sitting down, they can't help thinking about it. The more they think about it, the more complicated it becomes. However, they still don't have a clear idea.
It is true that Langley is a gentleman; But in the last two months, real senior executives in the industry have learned one thing: don't mess with Randy, or you'll see what's going on with diesel. With lanli's energy and skill, he is really not an easy target. Especially considering lanli's family background, he has the ability to become a senior player if he wants to. Even Warner Brothers and Disney dare not underestimate him.
Of course, lanli's ability is "virtual hypothesis", and the actual content is still limited, so some people, like Thomas, don't buy it, while others keep their distance. Patrick and Christopher are the latter.
The two producers can't help but scare themselves now. They try their best to relax, but they can't help but think wildly. Inexplicably, they feel a little happy.
Lanli didn't explain too much. He really put on his own posture, which attracted the sight of the two people in front of him. "First of all, I'm very grateful for the welcome gift from the crew. It's my honor." Lanli's attitude towards producers and ordinary staff is obviously different“ But I don't think it's a good idea. "
Christopher looked at lanli in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears. It was your request.
Although Christopher didn't say anything because of lanli's face, the meaning of his eyes was very clear. Lanli gently shook his head and denied, "I always think that the crew is a place to work, not a place to enjoy happiness. If I am ready to relax, then I can go to the beach for a holiday, rather than to the crew to enjoy special treatment; I need a van, just a quiet working environment, not a mansion. "
In the same way, lanli didn't say anything to Nina, because there was a lot of information in her short words. Nina's work position and the perspective of things didn't necessarily make her fully understand lanli, on the contrary, it was easy to have unnecessary associations; But now it's different to face Patrick and Christopher.
After the initial surprise, the two producers gradually responded:
If the car is really lanli's request, he can frankly admit that there is no need to go back after announcing the request. In terms of his position and reputation in the industry - two million dollars is really not a big deal for him.
Christopher's thoughts were even more profound: he knew who had relayed the requests; He also knows what's going on. At this point, Christopher raised his eyes, and then he saw that blue Li's clear eyes, straight to his own eyes, he immediately understood, and the shock of the truth began to ripple.
Patrick only knew one thing, but he didn't know the other. His idea was relatively vague, and he asked eagerly, "so, what's going on?"
Christopher took a deep look at Langley, with a nervous look: if Langley and Thomas go to war in public, it's definitely not a good thing for the crew, so what will Langley do now?
Instead of paying attention to Christopher's eyes, Langley greets Patrick, "I just told Nina that this van is open to the crew as a rest room; In addition, another dining car will be arranged nearby as the charging station of the crew. Every member of the crew can use it. "
Lan Li doesn't want to answer the question of "what's going on". They are no longer children. There's no need to complain all the time; It's about how to solve the problem. The solution is the most important thing.
"All the expenses of the dining car and van are reimbursed to my agent Andy, and I'll pay for them all." Lanli did not hesitate to announce another heavyweight. In the face of the two people's stunned expression, lanli said with a smile, "don't worry, my pay should be able to afford it."
Is Lan Li still in the mood to joke?
