Lan Li has many friends in the industry. To be honest, he seems to be a gentleman, but in fact he is stubborn. He has a clear sense of his bottom line and is easy to offend people inadvertently, especially in Hollywood, which is used to socializing, greeting and politeness.
Sometimes, even Paul knows how to compromise, but Langley can't. Everyone knows that it's easy to break a hard life, but lanli clearly knows that he still hasn't changed his mind, which is also an important reason why lanli has repeatedly put himself in trouble; But on the other hand, if you choose to compromise and give in, life doesn't seem to get better. It's better to learn from lanli and stick to yourself, at least to live happily.
Paul likes to communicate with Langley very much. He is not aggressive or condescending, but he can always find new inspiration in the spring breeze and drizzle. Now looking back, Paul will be able to understand Langley's suggestion that he enjoy the shooting process of "speed and passion 7". This is really a rare shooting, and he should devote himself to it.
"I understand." Paul's thoughts gradually became clear, and the whole person relaxed. "Now I have a sense of rebirth, and I can finally enjoy life. Maybe I should turn my attention a little bit. You know, I don't think you can condemn my decision. "
"You should think like this: even if you condemn me, I will still live my life in my way. I don't need to care about other people's opinions and opinions at all, because I have determined my determination, so those who have opinions, please stand aside, thank you." Langley corrected Paul's idea, but his polite, modest, serious, smiling words were full of sharpness and released completely.
Paul was stunned, then burst out laughing, "I think journalists must hate you very much."
"Good, welcome. I can't and don't need everyone's liking. To be honest, I can't even make my apartment administrators like me. How can I make those journalists like me? " Langley shrugged. To be honest, Paul's laughter couldn't stop.
Standing under the spotlight and at the top of the pyramid, how many people can keep this sober willpower like lanli?
hardly any!
Even Paul himself, whenever he stands on the red carpet listening to those crazy screams and shouts, he always has the illusion that "the whole world likes me"; Paul was able to calm down again when all the lights were gone, which is why he especially likes surfing and outdoor sports - it makes him feel real, not under the spotlight.
But this is not Langley.
The only time Paul remembered a special situation, that was the night when Langley won the Tony Award and achieved egot. It should be the only time he felt the confusion and confusion of Langley. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the small mountains with the attitude of creating miracles and writing history, Langley also showed the vulnerability of ordinary people.
Paul is very glad that he was not absent that night. He is still a friend of Langley. No matter what height Langley stands, they are friends.
Fate is really a wonderful thing. At the beginning, Paul and Langley met by accident when they were climbing in the Welton Canyon in France, but they didn't expect to be the beginning of a friendship. Also in the "speed and passion 5" group, Paul and Langley become friends, while diesel and Langley become enemies. Can this be regarded as a kind of fate?
"Premiere." Langley's voice came over and planned Paul's thoughts, but he didn't hear it clearly. Langley then said, "are you going to the premiere? I mean, if you're not going to take part, I'm not surprised. There's no need to force. "
Since the car accident, Paul's news has never been far away from the entertainment news page, but he has never really faced the media and the audience in public. Even when he officially left the hospital, even when he announced that he would never quit the "speed and passion" series through Twitter, he could only finish his appearance indirectly and did not accept the media interview in public, No form.
Because of the special reason of the accident, the journalists have not been able to occupy the moral commanding height. Now they dare not follow Paul 24 hours. Otherwise, if there is another accident, the bad situation of Princess Diana in those years may become the starting point of the collapse of the uncrowned kings, and then it will be the real disaster. This also won Paul valuable private rest space, but it is rare leisure.
Recently, paparazzi rarely follow Paul. On the one hand, they respect Paul's health. On the other hand, Paul's private life is really boring and has no follow-up value at all. Of course, the latter reason is the key. Today, Paul came to pick up Langley and was not found.
But if you attend the premiere, it will be a formal face to the public. At the same time, it will announce that Paul is ready to be bombed again by the reporters. By then, the spotlights gathered on Paul will start to surge again; And the follow-up focus after the premiere will also fully open the gate. If Paul wants to continue to enjoy a period of undisturbed time, then absence from the premiere is the best choice, and Langley doesn't mind that.
Paul was more relaxed than Langley thought. "Anyway, I'm going to go back to the limelight sooner or later. Forget it? It's part of our work and part of our lives. If I can, I'd love to stay away from all the distractions and enjoy what I have at the same time, but we all know that there is no such perfect thing in the world. " It is impossible to enjoy the pursuit of the media but refuse the interference of the media. We need to learn to accept it. Or resistance. "
Paul didn't know how to fight, but now he's different.
Lenley nodded with a slight smile, appreciating Paul's idea.
"So, if you don't mind that my debut may blur the focus of the movie premiere, then, yes, I'm ready to go back into the spotlight; What's more, if there is an accident, I can at least trust you. All the mess will be pushed to you. How about my plan? " Paul tried to show his cunning, but obviously it didn't work. The "trick" didn't sound like a threat at all.
"Welcome to ruin my premiere," lenley said frankly. I always think that the premiere is just those platitudes. It really doesn't mean much. It needs some seasoning to arouse everyone's enthusiasm. If you are willing to sacrifice yourself, I can't be more happy. "
Lanli is still lanli, full of confidence and in charge of the whole situation.
Paul asked curiously, "is that why you came back to Los Angeles the day before the premiere? Make something interesting? " Without waiting for Langley to answer, Paul remembered something and chuckled, "you know, Las Vegas even started a gamble to see if you would be late or even absent from the premiere, ha ha! God, I can't believe they're so bored now. "
But that's Hollywood, and anything trivial can be a word of entertainment. If Las Vegas even takes out the bedroom secrets of public figures for gambling in 30 years or even in the far future, lanli will not be surprised, because entertainment to death is such a thing.
In the late 1980s, someone once asked the editor in chief of the Washington Post, "if someone wants to see the fruit of public figures, will you publish it? It's like Playboy. "
"I don't want to publish it. But I will This is the chief editor's original reply. Even when the trend of "entertainment to death" emerged in the 1980s, the top people in the industry had already predicted the development direction of the times; Even high-end newspapers, such as the Washington Post, have to compete with those tabloids in a low profile. This is the most sad and helpless situation of the news industry.
Now, the derailed train still has no plan to stop, and is still more and more crazy.
"You should put a million dollars on the high odds and let me know. We can work together to make those makers grey. " Lan Li is not angry at all. Such a small matter is not worth being angry at all.
Paul Leng Leng, "if the odds are high is your absence?" In fact, what Paul wants to ask is, is there no contract for the Star Trek crew to require Langley to attend the premiere? After the breach of contract, it is bound to be able to claim compensation, "and, those makers know, will certainly find you."
Looking at such a sincere Paul, Lan Li raised his eyebrow gently, "then it's better to be absent. The money won by the bet can cover the compensation for breach of contract. As for the makers, believe me, they can negotiate because they know more about the consequences of behind the scenes manipulation than we do. "
"Are you serious?" Paul stuttered a little.
"Paul, did anyone say you were really cute?" Lan Li turned his head and said with a smile.
Paul immediately realized that he had been stupid - and that he had been teased by Langley. He shook his head helplessly. "Langley, did someone say you really like pranks?"
"I don't think you are the first, and I don't think you will be the last." Lanli was still calm, which made Paul have to raise his hand to surrender, but it caused lanli's exclamation, "Hey, I'm not interested in the hospital!"
So he Tucao, let Paul grasp his steering wheel again, but he laughed hearty and make complaints about it. "Ha ha, I didn't expect you to be afraid."
Sitting next to Lan Li showed a trace of helplessness, "please torture those reporters, not self torture, OK? Don't you know that all those journalists in Hollywood are waiting to be tortured? "
Why does this sound strange? Paul tilts his head, but he doesn't know how to refute it.
