Jeff Robinoff and Brad Pitt talked and laughed happily, and the general wind that radiated from the inside out was a scene of its own in the noisy and crazy party.

This is the first time since Renly arrived in New York two years ago that he has come into contact with the decision-making executives of the six major Hollywood film companies. The position of the leading actor of "Edge of Tomorrow" has become the bridge for Renly to confront such a big boss for the first time. It's not the same. However, this still doesn't mean anything. It's just an audition opportunity. There are hundreds of audition opportunities in Hollywood every day. Among them, there is no one who stands out.

Jeff and Brad just stood aside with ease, like magnets, naturally attracting curious eyes; not to mention, they are not the only bright spot, and they are all familiar faces standing next to them:

One is David-Ayer, who came to prominence with the script of "Training Day" and later became known as the director of the "Suicide Squad". But few people know that David is actually one of the writers of the first part of the "Fast and Furious" series.

One is Michael Fassbender, who has come to the fore with his "Shameless Bastard" and dedicated works such as "Shame", "Dangerous Method", "X-Men: First Class" and other works this year. If not for "speed and excitement" The summer box office of "Love 5" is too amazing, I am afraid this year's "Most Watched Actor" title will fall on him.

The other is Jessica Chastain. In 2011 alone, Jessica had seven films released, two of which were co-produced with Brad, which is called Model Worker of the Year.

This small group stood casually in the open space between the two beach chairs. It seemed that they just met unintentionally, stopped and chatted, but the figures around them were endless and lively. A small corner has always maintained the size of a small group of people, and it is a world of its own at the carnival party. Others just pass by and stay, but cannot stop and seem to be unable to integrate into their small group.

However, Lan Li cannot become a "passerby". He must stop, talk to Jeff, and if necessary, even defeat Brad. Only in this way can he take the role. Just thinking about it in your head makes your scalp numb.

Not to mention newcomers, even second- and third-line actors who have been rolling in the industry for many years are not necessarily willing to take this risk. Many people will choose to wait and see what happens, wait for Jeff and Brad to finish the conversation, and then find the opportunity to cut in and complete the audition. This seems to be much easier; but Lan Li knows that this is the rule of Vanity Fair, even if it is avoided. Today, we cannot avoid tomorrow.

Therefore, Lan Li chose to take the initiative.

Paul walked beside Renly, feeling a little nervous. Although he has been rolling in Hollywood for more than ten years, he really didn't attend many occasions like this. However, today's protagonist is Lan Li, not him. He must do a good job as a guide. Compared with Lan Li, his experience should be rich, so he can't be nervous.

Thinking of this, Paul's shoulders opened slightly, his flustered mood calmed down, and he thought in his mind: I heard that Brad was also interested in sports cars before, and he vaguely remembered reading it in an interview with a magazine, but Brad Suddenly I can't remember what brand and model I like.

Just between thinking, within a short distance of less than 20 meters, the footsteps have been reached.

However, it was very impolite that Paul and Renly did not directly break in and interrupt the conversation. Of course, a person with a strong personality or a person with high authority can choose to interrupt the conversation directly according to their own rhythm and method; but for others, how to choose the time to cut into the conversation is a sophisticated social learn. Especially the nobles, even the earl, he will not simply and rudely interrupt other people's conversations, this is still part of the cultivation.

In addition to the two of them, there were three or four people standing beside them in the circle, with champagne in their hands, talking in a low voice. It looks self-assured, but in fact their eyes are drifting towards Jeff and Brad, and the intention is self-evident.

Under such circumstances, Paul and Renly, with empty hands, seem a little abrupt. Paul regrets that he should have asked for a glass of champagne or whiskey just now. Even if he doesn't drink it, he can act as a shield or medium on such occasions. Paul raised his head, looking for the waiter.

"What's the matter?" Lan Li also noticed Paul's turning head and asked.

Paul lowered his voice to avoid interrupting the conversation between Jeff and Brad, "Champagne." A simple word meant it. Then Paul saw the waiter not far away and raised his hand for a sign. A bunny girl with bunny ears and a bunny tail behind her bikini walked over with a smile.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in his ears. Jeff was expressing his gentleman's etiquette and said to Jessica, "I just finished drinking my whiskey. I need another glass, how about madam?"

The thoughts in Lan Li's mind turned, he raised his voice slightly, and said to Paul with a smile, "If I were you, I would not choose champagne or whiskey."

"Why?" Paul was stunned and didn't understand. At this point in time, the bunny girl had already come to his side. Lanly took the place of Paul and said to the bunny girl, "Hello, can you give me two cups of rum, please?"

The bunny girl's tray was filled with champagne, but she didn't mind at all, and nodded with a smile, "Of course there is no problem."

"This is not the right time to drink whiskey. No one chooses to taste whiskey during afternoon tea. Even the best single malt whiskey is not available at three o'clock in the afternoon, due to temperature changes, sun exposure, and our own taste. Taste the most wonderful taste of whiskey." Lan Li nodded politely to the bunny girl, then retracted his gaze and explained to Paul.

Paul's reaction was half a beat slower, but he immediately noticed: Lanly's voice was slightly louder than usual, not obvious, but it did improve a little; the conversation between Brad and Jeff just stopped next to him. A blank spot, the peripheral light of their sight followed the instinctive response of the auditory sense.

Although Paul didn’t know that this gap was created in this way, he could complete the cooperation with Renly, "Then what should we drink? Don’t tell me it’s afternoon tea, **** Christ, I’m not an Englishman, now it’s a party. Time." Paul's reaction was a bit overdone, but in the frenetic party atmosphere around him, it would not appear abrupt, but instead made a small circle of people around him look at him.

"If you can, absinthe is the best choice. Rimbaud once said: the wise pilgrims let the earth spew the green jiuquan; Hemingway used absinthe as the raw material to make a wine called'afternoon The'dead' cocktail, of course, now people are using it as Hemingway Champagne."

Lan Li's talkative, elegant and calm, hand-picked poems and allusions fermented with a faint fragrance in the pure London accent, involuntarily making people listen.

"However, we are now at a party, not in a Parisian bistro. So, rum is the best choice." Lan Li raised his mouth slightly and paused for a moment. The noise around the swimming pool is still endless, but There is a small circle centered on him, but no one speaks. It seems that everyone is waiting for the following.

Lan Li was not proud, nor did he behave well. It was just a time difference between the breaths. He immediately said, "The really good rum needs to be tasted twice. The first time you can swallow it quickly, you can feel the alcohol slippery. The irritation of the mouth and throat is like a brush, sharp and rough; then the second time, the alcohol is paused on the tip of the tongue for a while, just like the dance steps of a ballet actress, light and soft, belonging to rum The special scent of "will be emitted little by little, slowly filling the nasal cavity, and after sliding down the throat, it will be warm and supple. In the next five to thirty seconds, we can feel the ultimate enjoyment of the opera house. "

After another pause, Renly could clearly see the expectation from the depths of Paul's eyes, "Then what?"

Then Lan Li said, "Then, let yourself wander in the golden sun and blue swimming pool. A little bit of coziness~www.novelhall.com~ will make this afternoon very wonderful. If you want, you can. Put on a scarf, let the warm air envelop your pores, and dance lightly."

This humorous and relaxed tone made everyone laugh softly involuntarily.

Lan Li doesn't like parties of nobles, but Arthur is a master at holding noble parties.

Compared with the masquerades of the London aristocrats who are intriguing and smiling, Hollywood parties can only be regarded as the primary stage of Vanity Fair-the so-called "primary" here is not the difference between means and strategies, but the relationship between people, Hollywood Far from being as intricate and intricate as the London aristocracy.

Here, only interests are supreme, simple and rude; but for aristocrats, interests have never been the most important part. Reputation, prestige, blood lineage, and the dignity that proves the superiority of the aristocracy are the most important. For the benefit, people can do nothing; but for the family and inheritance, it is beyond imagination.

It is not difficult for Lan Li to deal with such occasions.

"Sir, your rum." The bunny girl returned in a blink of an eye, very efficient. More importantly, the timing was so precise that it even made people wonder if Lan Li saw the appearance of the bunny girl and consciously chose to end the conversation here, but no one knew except Lan Li himself.

Lanly and Paul picked up their own rum from the tray. The bunny girl smiled cleverly and was about to turn and leave. Then a voice came from behind, "Wait a minute, can you give me a glass of rum? Thank you."

Turning his head, Lan Li saw a bright smiling face, Jessica Chastain. She blinked and looked at Lan Li playfully, but the words were addressed to Jeff, Brad and others, "I think I must not miss this glass of rum."
