"Ding Dong", the doorbell interrupted the conversation between Lan Li and Matthew, and Matthew cast his sights, "Are you waiting for guests?" Lan Li’s apartment, even he himself couldn’t remember the address. It is even more unlikely that someone will come to the door. Is it Nathan or Andy? Matthew glanced at the key on the coffee table. He didn't have time to put the key back on the lintel.

"Well, Roy Lockley, my manager." Lanly said simply. The last time the reporter was besieging downstairs, Roy helped out. Matthew was sitting in the driver's seat at the time, so the two were considered to be Met once. However, Matthew didn't know that Lan Li hired Roy as a manager.

Matthew raised his eyebrows slightly, "I thought he was your bodyguard." After the teasing was over, Matthew stood up, pushed open the iron door, and then saw Roy standing at the door——

A dark blue casual shirt, crumpled and crumpled on the bottom of the box for ten and a half days, the sleeves were randomly rolled up to the elbows; the smoky gray jeans were stained with unrecognizable stains, and the belts were casually Drooping, those leather shoes on his feet looked like they had just returned from hiking in the Amazon jungle.

He also carried two huge takeaway bags in his hands, plus the black motorcycle helmet on his head. He looked like a little brother delivering food, with a lazy and casual smile on his face, raised the bag in his hand aloft, and said cleanly and nonchalantly, "Your takeaway is $68 and 9. Nineteen cents."

If it were someone else, it would be really stunned at the moment. But Matthew was not just anyone. He took off the coat on the hanger at the door and said, "Credit card checkout, okay?" He said, he really took out his wallet.

"Not today." There was a smile in Roy's eyes, "Otherwise, I will owe the bill today, and I will calculate it together next time I come." After that, Roy took a half step forward, "I will help you. Send it in."

As a result, Matthew did not give way at all, but stretched out his hands, "I will do it myself."

"You two, I’m hungry. If I don’t come in again, I’ll just fall asleep." Lan Li, who was lying on the sofa, couldn’t stand it anymore. The jokes of these two people looked like There is no end to the drag, and both are idiots. Really clever humor, enough and just right is the first element, and these two people are obviously not good at making jokes. Continue to drag on, the jokes are all gone.

Matthew then let go of the position and let Roy in.

When the "transcendence" was completed before, Roy took the initiative to raise the question of the selection of subsequent works. It was not that he was anxious to let Lan Li take the next work, but he knew that reading scripts is a big project, just like reading. It is not difficult to read in one day, but it takes time and concentration to really calm down and read. This time Andy has submitted a lot of scripts, and it naturally takes more time to read.

Therefore, Roy informed Lan Li in advance that his preliminary screening has been completed. When Lan Li is ready, he can report.

Lan Li didn't care. Reading was originally one of the leisure activities, so he asked Roy to find time to come over today. However, Roy came here much faster than expected, and he also brought takeaways, and the lunch problem between Renly and Matthew was solved.

"Why did you bring the takeaway?" Lan Li sat up straight with his legs crossed and looked at Roy's lunch expectantly.

"It's lunch time, I need lunch, and you also need it." Roy explained simply, "It just so happened that Nathan was a little worried about your meals, so I asked him to take an afternoon break and bring the takeaway in person. "Yes." Roy looked back at Matthew, "But, I didn't know Matthew was there, Chinese food, are you used to it?"

Standing next to him, Matthew was gentle and cold, and he looked at Lan Li with some helplessness.

Because of Ren Li, Matthew did not eat less Chinese food. It is no exaggeration to say that they have tasted all kinds of Chinese food in the streets of London. Even if Matthew is not interested, he is now considered a half expert. Up. Although Matthew did not understand why Lan Li was so obsessed with Chinese food, obviously this was not the only unsolved mystery of Lan Li.

Lan Li said with a serious face, "His ability to survive is much stronger than you think." There was no affirmation, but there was no denial, "Come on, it's better to eat first."

In the end, I did not choose French food, nor Italian food, but Chinese food. At the dining table, he didn't say a word, just eating quietly, which really made Roy a little uncomfortable-he still knew too little about Lan Li after all.

In the upper class, formal Western food is generally divided into multiple programs such as first course, soup, side course, main course, vegetable dish, dessert, coffee, etc. A meal for two hours is the basic, three to four hours Is the mainstream. It is precisely because of this that during the meal, everyone tried their best not to make any noise, but to chat between each dish, while waiting for the dish, while socializing.

The so-called not making a sound is more than just talking. The highest level is that even the sound of knives and forks colliding with porcelain plates has almost disappeared, let alone the sound of drinking soup or chewing. Therefore, if you study carefully, you can find that all the dishes in the top restaurants are easily cut or processed, avoiding cumbersome objects such as bones and shells as much as possible. This is the reason.

However, for young people like Lan Li and Matthew, the rules have evolved a lot with the times. Such strict requirements only apply to formal dinner occasions. Usually, brunch or light meals are not so rules. It's just that the three of them didn't speak today, so they fell silent.

After the meal, Matthew left the apartment and went to work. For some time now, he has really been very busy.

Lan Li sat down on the sofa in the living room, slowly enjoying a cup of coffee. Roy sitting next to him found it more and more strange: No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Lanly did not come from an ordinary family. Good education and elegant manners often make people feel educated and quality in the details.

"Are you going to wait until after my nap, or now? Personally, a nap is a good idea." Lan Li now feels a little sleepy. The filming of "detachment" lasted more than seven weeks. Both physical strength and energy were severe tests. After completely relaxing today, he felt that Zhou Gongyi in his sleep was calling himself.

Roy recovered and brought his backpack with him. Due to the fact that there were so many scripts, his briefcase couldn't fit in at all, so he could only use Nathan's backpack to carry it. "I can keep the script, briefly talk to you, and then go to rest and watch it later when I have time."

Roy took out the scripts one by one, glanced at the cover briefly, then put them down in different categories, and at the same time explained, "rest assured, my speed will be very fast."

After confirming that all the scripts were taken out, Roy divided into three stacks, raised his head and looked at Lan Li, "I divided into three categories according to my personal opinion, one is worth considering; the other is worthless for reference at all. , Or not suitable for you; there is another one that I am not sure about either."

After working, Roy's vigorous and resolute style remained the same as before, without any nonsense, and went directly to the subject. A few simple words will sum up the matter.

"Why is it not so sure?" Lan Li did not read the scripts, but looked at Roy with interest.

"It means it literally." Roy didn't pretend to understand, "It looks like a good project, but I always feel that there may be problems; or the other way round, it doesn't look like a project worth participating in. I also think that something can be unearthed. I think maybe you will be interested, maybe not."

Roy is a smart man, just like Andy. Roy can naturally also feel the meaning of the investigation. The cooperation has just begun, and both parties need to run in; taking a step back, the manager and the agent are both employed by the artist, and the artist has the right to end the cooperation at any time, and naturally also has the right. It is understandable to examine their abilities.

Therefore, Roy did not take it lightly this time. He read every script intently, even took notes, analyzed, pondered, and thought about it carefully~www.novelhall.com~ This led to the conclusion.

The manager’s job is very different from before. In the past, Roy was only responsible for supervising and safeguarding the interests of actors, but he never participated in the work of actors or film companies. It can be said that he has no position; but now, Roy must consider Lan Li. The pleasure/feeling and satisfaction of participating in making suggestions for Lan Li’s career is indescribable.

After a long absence, Roy felt the enthusiasm for work again. Not only because he can participate in the whole process, not only because he is new and unfamiliar, but also because he really feels the passion: Lan Li’s emphasis on scripts, fanaticism in performance, and pursuit of art, this kind of energy reawakens his deep heart. Obsession and persistence.

Roy couldn't help but wonder, maybe he could witness a miracle in Lan Li. Even if it's just a "possibility", this kind of cooperation could not start better. Therefore, he is willing to do his best, no matter how hard he is, he will be happy.

Lan Li took a sip of coffee. This was the second cup today. Fortunately, both cups are black coffee, otherwise there will still be some guilt in my heart. He closed his jaw gently, and said nothing: no judgment, no opinion, and no feedback.

After putting the cup down, Lan Li adjusted his sitting posture, and then simply began to flip through the script in front of him.

There are only two scripts in the stack worthy of reference, and the captions are written on the cover, "Dragon Tiger Youth Team" and "Ring Messenger".

There is no need to refer to the stack, there are four scripts, namely "Snow White and the Hunter", "The Oath", "The Hero Detects Jack" and "Perfect Pitch".

The last pile of uncertainties are three scripts, "Rescued Jiang Ge", "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield".
