Chapter 2148

In London in November, the pattering rain is falling continuously. The gloomy and gloomy sky seems to never see the sun. The harsh and bleak winter sweeps through the sky. The whole world is shivering. People just want to curl up by the fire, hold a cup of black tea carefully, and then do nothing, It's also a rare enjoyment to spend a boring afternoon like this.

Oggs lansmus sat quietly in the corner of the cafe, where there was no silver. He held up a newspaper and covered his face. Then he secretly pulled the newspaper down a little and carefully looked at the people coming and going in the space. From time to time, he pulled up the newspaper like a frightened dog, Hide yourself behind the times and pretend you're not there.

The residual light of the sight can catch a touch of red outside the window. Through the ink like rain and fog, the smoke like red is enchanting and gorgeous. The drizzle world suddenly becomes bright. The sight can't help drifting past, trying to get rid of the fog and explore the beauty behind.

His attention was slightly distracted. It seemed that his mind was distracted by the red color. He could not help describing the outline of those lines in his mind and conceiving the outline and lines of an oil painting——

"Gee."

The wooden door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and his thoughts were interrupted. He quickly withdrew his mind, pulled down the newspaper, and quietly looked at the customers who had just come in. Sure enough, he saw that the red umbrella had been folded up, and the face behind the mysterious veil had come out of the shadow.

It's Langley hall!

Dark gray Polka Dot Shirt with black coarse wool knitting sweater, wearing a smoky gray windbreaker coat, no intricate, layered dress, slightly low-key rigid collocation, but in the handsome revealed a touch of elegant scholarly, quiet and atmosphere of the unique temperament is impressive.

Angus quickly held up the newspaper and covered his face again. There was a faint voice in his ear, "my friend and I are meeting here. Lance moss, has he arrived yet?"

"Sorry, not yet. You can sit down and wait. If he arrives, I'll show him to you." The waiter at the counter replied politely.

Eugene catches the sign of Langley turning his head. In a panic, he pulls up the newspaper again and covers his face for fear of revealing his whereabouts. He seemed to feel Langley's burning eyes scanning, as if he could burn up the newspaper in the next second, which made him more nervous and tighten his hands holding the newspaper, so that the veins on the back of his hands could be seen clearly.

Oggs knows that he is not a qualified spy agent. At this time, the heart of his chest and the blood of his skin may expose his whereabouts at any time. If he can, he doesn't want to continue to hide, but he really doesn't have many choices, does he?

Today, Angus and Langley will meet again to discuss the lobster performance.

Strictly speaking, in fact, all the major performance agreements have been discussed. Langley will be paid an ultra-low salary of $300000 - even lower than Jason Clark, and will not interfere in the directing work of oggs. Now we just need to finish the final signing, and then the crew can officially start shooting. But there are still doubts.

It can be said that it is prejudice, it can be said that it is stubborn, it can be said that it is preconceived. All in all, Eugene always felt that Langley was not the first choice for the show.

People are always like this, just like the first impression. Once they are identified, future changes will take a lot of work, or even multiple times of work. Either they know that they are unreasonable, but they still can't simply change their ideas, or they are stuck in a rut and can't extricate themselves, and then they are led by their own obsession, and then they lose their ability of rational judgment, The end is to refuse to admit your mistakes.

From the very beginning, he didn't think that Langley was the ideal candidate. He even thought that Langley was a bit of a "bully"

Why does he have to raise his hands and feet to welcome his work? Why does Lan Li have to agree with his works when he nods? Why is Lan Li willing to lower the film's pay to perform, so he must happily agree?

Does anyone care about his wishes, his ideas, his ideas, his settings? He's the director of the movie, isn't he?

It's not that oggs hates Langley - he admits that Langley is a very good actor, maybe even one of the best actors of our time; Before that, oggs and Langley met once in London to discuss the script and the role. Langley did show his understanding of the role and triggered his inspiration, which made him have a clearer understanding of the setting and trend of the whole story.

This is a very rare thing; At the same time, Eugene is also very grateful to lenley. As movie lovers, they have a lot in common.

But the point is that lanli is not necessarily an actor who suits all the roles, or an actor who can cooperate with all the directing styles, which is an undeniable fact; Another important point is that lanli comes in like this and tells him what to do with his project. Even if lanli is right, it's really uncomfortable.

Argus really doesn't like this situation. What's more, in his opinion, Langley is not his first choice, or even his top five choices.

For these reasons, and for those reasons, Augus always had some resistance. Even though Langley highly cooperated with all the situations, and even was willing to play at an ultra-low salary of 300000 US dollars, he showed a rare sincerity, but he didn't immediately nod his head.

However, he is not a tough and sharp personality. He is even shy and introverted. He thinks in silence——

Look, even though he has a lot of dissatisfaction and protest against Lan Li, he has never been able to express his ideas, so he was led by the nose; At the same time, even though he was in a very passive and awkward situation, and even had been forced to the corner, he still did not give up his persistence.

Although it seems strange to describe it like this, it is really the best adjective of Eugene.

Augus insists that before signing the contract, he needs to have another interview with Langley to exchange views on the role and script.

Andy Rogers and Tessa Ross, the British producer of "lobster", are not suspicious. They just take it for granted that the two "drama maniacs" of Argus and Langley may have "a lot of boring and boring professional" issues to communicate, and they nodded and agreed without hesitation.

By the way, Tessa Roth is a regular partner of Sisyphus pictures in the UK. The two sides have not signed a formal contract agreement, but rely on friendship to achieve mutual benefit.

This producer is famous in Britain. She is very familiar with Peter Jackson, Kevin MacDonald, Denny Bauer, Ken Loach, Mike Lee, Steve McQueen and other famous directors, and has cooperated with them for many times; The list of works in recent years includes "127 Hours", "Iron Lady", "Slumdog Millionaire", "under the skin", "12 years of slavery" and so on. The name of "Carol" that Sisyphus pictures is shooting can also be seen.

The work of "lobster" is that Eugene went to Britain to look for investment and came to the hands of Tessa Roth. Then she got in touch with Sisyphus pictures, and the project was completed.

Today's meeting is arranged by Tessa Roth herself. She finds a private place for Langley and Argus, which will not be disturbed by outsiders; But even she didn't know what he was up to.

Because he didn't tell anyone.

Engels decided that he needed to test Langley. Only when Langley passed the test, would he have an in-depth discussion with Langley and finally make a decision.

He knew the idea was bold and risky, but he carried it out without any hesitation. It doesn't mean there is no voice in the heart.

At this time, Augus was secretly observing lanli's every move:

Langley turned around and looked around the coffee shop, which made him lift up the newspaper again. He didn't notice the movement before he put it down again. Then he could see that Langley had already sat down on the sofa chair near the window, hung his coat on the hanger, took out a book from his backpack, drew out the bookmark and began to read.

read.

read.

Or reading.

Lan Li settled down and read quietly without any impatience or anxiety. He also didn't prepare for the next meeting. It seemed as if he was waiting for his friend. Even if his friend was late, he didn't care.

What should we do next?

In fact, he doesn't have an idea. He just wants to test Langley, but he doesn't know how to test it or what result he expects. He just thinks that... He needs to create a dilemma and see how Langley solves it. Maybe he will change his point of view.

So, he chose to be late on purpose. He arrived at the coffee shop an hour earlier, but he didn't show up. He patiently watched lanli.

As a result, Langley is reading books and enjoying the afternoon. On the contrary, oggs is in a state of anxiety. He is always watching Langley and worrying about his whereabouts. It's like an ant on a hot pot. He can't be quiet at all.

He couldn't tell whether it was the test of Langley or his own.
