In London in November, the patter of rain is falling continuously, the gloomy and gloomy sky seems to never see the sun, the harshness and depression of the severe winter are sweeping all over, and the whole world is trembling. People just want to curl up by the fire, hold a cup of black tea carefully, and then do nothing, just spend a boring afternoon like this, it is also a rare enjoyment.

Ougs-Lance Moss sat quietly in the corner of the coffee shop, where there was no silver three hundred taels, raised a newspaper to cover his face, then surreptitiously pulled down the newspaper a little bit, and looked carefully. The people coming and going in the space from time to time are like scared puppies, pulling up the newspaper in a panic, hiding himself behind the "Times", pretending that he is not there.

The peripheral light of the line of sight can catch a touch of red outside the window through the ink-like rain and mist, that smoke-like mist-like red demon/gloriously enveloping, the drizzle world suddenly brightens up, and the line of sight cannot bear Drifting over, trying to clear the fog and explore the magnificence behind.

Oggs's attention was slightly distracted, as if he was distracted by the touch of red, he couldn't help but began to draw the outlines of those lines in his mind, conceiving the outline and lines of an oil painting——

"Yeah."

The wooden door of the coffee shop was pushed open, Ougs’ thoughts were interrupted, he quickly retracted his mind, pulled down the newspaper, and quietly looked at the customer who had just entered. Sure enough, he saw that the red umbrella was closed. , The face behind the mysterious veil also emerged from the shadows.

It's Renly-Hall!

Dark gray polka dot shirt with dark black thick wool knit sweater, and a smoky gray windbreaker jacket. There is no intricate, layered dress, but the slightly understated and rigid match reveals a touch of elegant bookishness among the handsome, calm. The unique temperament of the atmosphere is impressive.

Oggs quickly raised the newspaper, covering his face again, and Lan Li's voice faintly came from his ear, "I have an appointment with my friend here, Lansmos, may I ask if he has arrived? ?"

"Sorry, not at the moment. You can sit down and wait for a while. If he arrives, I will guide him to find you." The waiter at the counter answered politely.

Oggs caught the signs of Lan Li's turning his head. He pulled up the newspaper again in a panic, and sternly covered his face for fear of revealing his whereabouts. He seemed to be able to feel Lan Li's scorching gaze scanning, as if the newspaper could be burned out in the next second, which made Ogus more tense, and both hands holding the newspaper tightened, so that the back of his hand was tightened. The veins are clearly visible.

Oggs knew that he was not a qualified spy agent. At this time, the blood that quickly hit the heart of his chest and violently burning skin could reveal his whereabouts at any time. If he could, he didn't want to hide anymore, but he really didn't. Too many choices, isn't it?

Today, Ougs and Renly will meet again for the final discussion on the performance of "Lobster".

Strictly speaking, in fact, the main performance agreement has been discussed. Renly will play at an ultra-low pay of 300,000 US dollars-even lower than Jason Clarke, and will not interfere with Oggs's directorial work. The final signature needs to be completed, and then the crew can officially start shooting. But Oggs still has doubts.

It can be said to be prejudice, stubborn, or preconceived. All in all, Oggs always felt that Renly was not the first candidate for the show.

People are always like this, just like the first impression. Once confirmed, future changes will require a lot of work, or even doubled work, or they know that they are unreasonable but still can’t simply change their concepts, or It's just being stuck in a stalemate, unable to extricate itself, and then led by one's own obsession, and then loses the ability to make rational judgments. No matter what, the end is to refuse to admit one's mistakes.

From the very beginning, Ougs didn't think that Lanly was an ideal candidate, he even thought that Lanly was a bit "compressing others with power":

Why does Lan Li want to appear in his own work, so he must raise his hands and feet to welcome him? Why does Lan Li nod his head and act in a work that he has to agree with willingly? Why is Lan Li willing to lower the pay for acting, so he must agree with joy?

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

It’s not that Ogus hates Renly-he admits that Renly is a very good actor, perhaps even one of the best actors of the contemporary era; before that, Ogus and Renly met once in London, focusing on the script and The role was discussed, and Lan Li did show his understanding of the role, and triggered his inspiration, allowing him to have a clearer understanding and understanding of the setting and trend of the whole story.

This is a very rare event; at the same time, Ougs is also very grateful to Lan Li. As movie lovers, they share many common languages.

But the point is that Lan Li is not necessarily an actor suitable for all roles, nor is it necessarily an actor who can match all directorial styles. This is an objective fact that cannot be denied; there is another important point that Lan Li In this way, he "broke in" in a big way, pointed out his project, and told him what to do-even if Lan Li was correct, it was really uncomfortable.

Oggs really didn't like this situation. What's more, in Oggs' view, Renly was not his first choice, not even his top five choice.

For these reasons, and because of those reasons, Oggs always resisted a little bit. Even though Lan Li was highly compatible with all the circumstances, he was even willing to star in an ultra-low pay of 300,000 US dollars, showing a rare sincerity. But Oggs still didn't nod immediately.

However, Oggs is not a tough and sharp personality, his personality is even a little shy and introverted, quietly completing his thoughts in taciturn——

Look, even though he has a lot of dissatisfaction and protests against Lan Li, he has never been able to express his thoughts, so he is led by the nose; at the same time, even though he is in a very passive and embarrassed situation, he has even been persecuted. When he reached the corner, he still did not give up his persistence.

Soft on the outside and strong on the inside, although this may seem a bit weird to describe it, it is indeed Ogus' best adjective.

Oggs insisted that before officially signing a contract, he needed to meet with Lan Li again to exchange opinions on the role and the script.

Andy Rogers and Tessa-Ross, the British producer of "Lobster", are not suspicious. They just take it for granted that the two "drama idiots" Oggs and Lanly may also "A lot of boring and tedious professional" questions need to be communicated, and I nodded in agreement without hesitation.

By the way, Tessa Rose is a fixed partner of Sisyphus Pictures in the UK. The two sides did not sign a formal contract agreement, but rely on friendship to achieve mutual benefit.

This producer is well-known in the UK. She worked with Peter Jackson, Kevin-MacDonald, Danny Bauer, Ken-Loach, Mike Lee, and Stie Famous directors such as Husband McQueen are very familiar with them, and have collaborated many times before and after; in recent years, the list of works includes "127 Hours", "Iron Lady", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Under the Skin", "Twelve Years as a Slave" and so on, etc. You can also see her name in "Carol" which Sisyphus Pictures is filming and producing.

The work of "Lobster" is that Oggs went to the UK to look for investment, went around in the hands of Tessa Rose, and then she matched the bridge and contacted Sisyphus Pictures, and the project took off.

Today’s meeting was arranged by Tessa Rose personally, and he found a private place for Renly and Oggs without being disturbed by outsiders; but even she did not know Oggs’ abacus.

Because Ougs didn't tell anyone.

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

Oggs knew this idea was very bold and risky, but he implemented it without any hesitation. Not speaking at ordinary times does not mean that there is no voice in your heart.

At this moment, Oggs was secretly observing Lan Li's every move:

Lan Li turned around and looked around at the coffee house. This allowed Oggs to raise the newspaper again. He didn't notice any movement before putting it down again. Then Lan Li was already seated on the sofa near the window. I hung the coat on the hanger, took out a book from my backpack, drew out the bookmark, and started to read.

read.

read.

Still reading.

Lan Li just settled down~www.novelhall.com~ quietly reading, not irritable or anxious, and also not preparing for the next meeting, it looked like...as if he was waiting. Friends are average, and even if friends are late, he doesn't care.

What should I do next?

In fact, Oggs himself didn’t have an idea. He just wanted to test Renly, but he didn’t know how to test it, and he didn’t know what results he was expecting. He just felt that... he needed to create a dilemma, and then watch. Depending on how Lan Li resolves it, maybe he will change his point of view.

So Oggs chose to be late on purpose-he arrived at the coffee shop an hour early, but did not show up, patiently watching Lan Li next to him.

As a result, it became like this. Lan Li was reading books, enjoying the afternoon time without rush or slowness. On the contrary, Oggs fell into the anxiety of fidgeting, observing Lan Li all the time, and time and time again. I was worried about revealing my whereabouts, just like ants on a hot pot, unable to calm down at all.

Oggs also couldn't tell whether this was a test of Lan Li or a test of himself.
