Chapter 257

Lan Li's brow also slightly frowned, looking at the empty parking lot in front of him, showing a puzzled look.

At this time, it's 8:20, and it's still 10 minutes before today's start time. According to the principle, the whole parking lot should be full, or even there may not be any parking space, so we have to park our cars in the public parking lot in the back. But in front of us, there was not a full car or even a car. This is really abnormal. It's incredible.

Nathan suddenly flustered up, such an accident really caught him by surprise, he forced himself to calm down, but it was too difficult. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lan Li and noticed the confusion between Lan Li's eyebrows. Fortunately, there was no anger.

"You can reconfirm today's shooting information." After a brief period of chaos, he calmed down, opened the door and walked towards the studio.

After reminding, Nathan also responded, quickly found out the text message, confirmed it.

Standing at the gate of the studio, the huge iron gate always makes people feel small. In order to let the tool car go in and out smoothly, the gate of the studio is always high and wide. There is only a small iron gate in the lower right corner, which allows two people to pass side by side. In comparison, it's like a passage to the adult country.

Usually, this small door will be opened to facilitate the staff in and out; After the shooting officially starts, it will be closed. Anyone who wants to enter must knock on the door. The guard behind the door will open a space the size of an e-mail throwing mouth, check the identity of the visitor, and then put people in.

Now, the little door was tightly closed, and lanli knocked on the door, but he didn't hear any response. He didn't even hear anything. It was strange everywhere. Are they in the wrong place?

"Lanli, I just confirmed the text message. It's 8:30, studio 23." Nathan temporarily stopped his car at the side of the road to avoid getting in the way. Then he quickly walked over and said, "then I called James Currier and Julie Irie respectively, but neither of them answered. I left a message to explain the situation, but..."

Lanli's calmness successfully calms Nathan down. After he clears his mind again, he becomes more organized in dealing with things. James and Julie are in charge of different tasks. Nathan, as lanli's assistant, mainly deals with the two people. It is the most direct and effective way to find out from them.

However, neither of them answered the phone.

Normally, this is not unusual, because both of them are very busy with their work. It is common to miss the phone. But today's situation is so special that people have to think more about it.

Langley didn't jump to the conclusion in a hurry. "James told you the time before he left yesterday?"

"Yes." Nathan nodded repeatedly. For fear of making a mistake, he specially asked James to send a text message, and confirmed the words. He doesn't want to be fired again.

Lanli touched his pocket, took out his cell phone, searched Paul Walker's cell phone number, and dialed. It's less than 8:30 now. If there was no shooting mission, Paul might be in sports, but

"Good morning, lenley." Paul picked up the phone with a clear spirit, and his sunny voice warmly said, "call me at this time. I'm preparing for breakfast. Would you like to join us?"

Langley can hear the relaxed freehand brushwork in Paul's words. It's less than ten minutes before the start of work. Is Paul still eating breakfast slowly? That doesn't make sense. However, instead of worrying, Langley replied with a smile, "are you sure it's Los Angeles time? Not new york time? "

The pace of life in Los Angeles is always slower, and it seems that three meals are a little later than in New York. However, Langley's stay here is too short. Maybe it's just his own illusion.

However, Langley's teasing still made Paul laugh, "I didn't go surfing today, otherwise I had breakfast at 9:30."

"As soon as you hear it, it's not elite life." Lanli's reply with a faint smile successfully triggered Paul's burst of laughter, repeatedly saying yes.

Los Angeles and New York have one thing in common. It is generally believed that those who can enjoy brunch are either the elite or the rich, because they can take a leisurely sleep and come out at about 10:00 and 10:30 to enjoy brunch with their friends.

As a result, the brunch restaurants and cafes in Los Angeles are always crowded, and young people eager to become actors will pretend to enjoy brunch. Maybe they can meet a major director or producer.

When Paul's laughter calmed down a little, Langley naturally cut into the theme, "what time does today's shooting start?"

"Twelve o'clock." Without any hesitation or doubt, Paul answered directly, "the main part of today's play will continue to the evening, and you may need to go out and shoot the night scene, so you can get into the production group at 12 o'clock and have a meeting to discuss it during lunch time. You will be shooting at about 2 p.m., and you will be busy until the evening."

12 o'clock. That's the answer.

No wonder the parking lot is empty! No wonder the studio is empty! Obviously, someone wants to teach lanli a good lesson. He deliberately gave the wrong start time and asked him to come to the studio three and a half hours in advance to stand by.

These three and a half hours are really awkward. If he goes back now, it will take him 40 minutes to an hour to go back and forth. Moreover, it's the rush hour for him to go to work. If he's not lucky enough to be stuck in the traffic, it's not impossible for him to spend two hours; But if he chooses to stay, he will be working here for three and a half hours, bored and moldy.

This move is really clever and harmless. Even though lanli protested through his agent, the waiting time of three and a half hours was not painful, and Andy could not put pressure on the crew; But in this way, it was hard to calm people's heart. They were teased for no reason, and more importantly, their self-esteem was severely ridiculed.

"What's the matter? What's going on? " Paul asked, "didn't your assistant get the notice yesterday?"

The starting situation of each day of the crew will be different. After the shooting itinerary comes out, the assistant will go to the crew to understand the situation and ensure that his actors can prepare for the next day's work.

"It's OK. I just want to reconfirm with you." Langley shook his head with a smile, exchanged greetings with Paul for a while, and then hung up.

Nathan, standing next to him, had already reacted. Yesterday, it was not he who went to the drama group to get the itinerary list, but James, one of the directors of the drama group, came to him personally to explain the itinerary. Nathan also thought that it was because the crew attached great importance to lanli and gave him the treatment of the third protagonist. Today, it was lanli's first appearance, so he naturally needed to be more cautious. So James came here to explain in detail and made sure there was no mistake.

But now it seems that this is a trap, someone deliberately wants to give Lan Li a bad impression.

"Lanli, I'm sorry..." Nathan panicked again, feeling very guilty. It's all his fault. If he was more careful, don't take it for granted, and confirm it several times, could today's accident be avoided. As an assistant, that's his responsibility. He has no room to explain.

Lan Li smiles instead of anger. The corner of his mouth rises and pats Nathan's arm. "You have to know that if they want to fool you, you can't see through it."

Before in the "Pacific War" crew, lanli had already known the truth that kids are difficult to deal with. If the staff want to make trouble for an actor, they don't need much power. They just need to work on some small details to make the actor miserable.

To take an extreme example, if a staff member deliberately blocked the toilet of Brad Pitt's van and then let out a rumor that Brad was constipated. So Brad is really speechless. This kind of rumor can't cause any substantial damage. At most, it's just people's talk after dinner, but it has absolutely no positive impact on Brad's image.

It's the same today.

Nathan is just a little assistant. He confirmed the time by word of mouth and text message, and double confirmed by James and Julie. He has no reason to be suspicious. James and Julie didn't answer the phone just now. Judging from this move, we can see that they are planning to teach lenley a lesson, so lenley really has nowhere to escape.

Lanli's comfort not only didn't make Nathan feel relieved, but also made him feel more guilty. He knows the truth, but he still can't swallow it. Why do people want to target Lan Li? Lanli has never offended anyone!

"Who is it! Is it James? " Nathan just felt that his head was full of question marks. He didn't know who was fighting against blue Li. Is today's accident just a little prank, or the beginning of a bad life?

A figure flashed through Lan Li's mind. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "yes, who is it?" It's the best thing he can do now.

He is not a soft persimmon. He has eaten this mouthful of Coptis today, but he can't tell the bitterness. He will tightly shut his mouth, but it doesn't mean he won't fight back.

"What shall we do now?" Nathan scratched his head impatiently and walked back and forth, looking at Lan Li eagerly, as if he was ready to fight back.

But lanli gave a different understanding, "wait, we'll wait here." How to investigate, how to deal with and how to punish those behind the scenes are not what Lan Li needs to worry about for the time being. Today's shooting task is more important“ Bring me the script and I'll read it. "

"Lan Li!" Nathan didn't expect such a response from Langley, so he yelled in dismay.

Lan Li was dumbfounded, shook his head and said again, "script!"
