"So, you don't know the paparazzi hiding in the opposite side?"

"What..."

Melissa was frightened. She almost jumped up, moved her eyes up and down, left and right, and forced herself to calm down. But it was not easy. Her voice began to shake slightly. She had to clench her fist and stand up abruptly, "paparazzi? what? Where are paparazzi? "

Between lightning and flint, Melissa made a decision. Her survival instinct burst out with great energy. She didn't care about her embarrassment. After she stood up, Melissa looked nervously at Lan Li again. "What happened just now was recorded by paparazzi. Would they have any misunderstanding? I can explain to them that it was just a misunderstanding. I fell down by accident. "

The subtext is that she knows nothing about paparazzi. Even if there are paparazzi, it must be because of lanli. After all, lanli is the focus of attention in North America and is exposed to paparazzi all the time.

Quick witted, quick witted, maybe Melissa is not smart, but she also shows some quick witted at this time. Under the crisis situation, she stimulates her potential, and her performance is much more realistic than before.

But even if Langley didn't see through the trick before, now Melissa can't get away with it: the performance is too grandiose, just like the way high school plays are performed. It's no wonder that Melissa was able to play the leading role in the "superwoman" of CW TV station. She is really suitable for the idol drama of teenagers. Now she can capture some clues.

"Are you sure?" Langley said meaningfully, "are you sure you don't know there's a paparazzi hiding in a corner of the building on the opposite block? Are you sure you don't know that his shooting angle is just the reverse side, so it's very easy to create a dislocation effect? Are you sure you don't know that paparazzi is hiding now? "

Melissa was so stunned that the words of denial had already gushed to her throat, but under the gaze of blue Li's eyes, she couldn't make a sound.

"Do you know? The paparazzi waiting at my door every day will never hide their bodies, because they need a better shooting angle. They are just waiting for the rabbit here, so why hide? Do you know anything else? The paparazzi waiting at my door every day clearly know that I won't have any news during the shooting, and they don't even want to wait here for this

Lanli is not a person who likes to explain, because facts are facts, and sooner or later the truth will come out; At the same time, he does not enjoy the process of using facts to force the other side to the corner. It is unnecessary to be aggressive.

But at this moment, Langley listed all the facts, which really made Melissa feel embarrassed, just like she met the stylist Melvin brads on the upper east side in order to attend the Emmy Awards. Real fire, anyone familiar with Langley knows, Melissa touched his bottom line.

Melissa is in the ice.

But Lan Li didn't pay any attention at all. He turned to the opposite direction and yelled, "that gentleman, please come out? Please come out while we can still talk calmly; Otherwise, even if you don't come out now, in the future, after you sell the photos, I can always know the source. Or are you going to hide the fruits of today's work forever

blamed!

John put his back against the wall, hit the wall with his right fist, and cursed, "Damn it!"

Although he had already guessed that things would not go well; But who knows, it's really bad luck to be seen through so simply! Bad luck!

John's at war. Get out? Or not going out?

At the end of his hesitation, John remembered a sentence from his colleague and good friend Joey Murphy: personally, I think Langley is actually a very good candid object. He never deliberately dodges. As long as we can stick to the bottom line, he is the best person to get along with and talk with.

In the end, John decided to trust Joey once.

So John stood up, left his shelter, pushed open the door, exposed himself to the sun, and walked step by step toward the direction where blue Lee and melissa were.

The paparazzi showed up!

The paparazzi actually appeared like this!

Melissa was on the verge of collapse. She kept winking at John and looking at lanli's face. She didn't know what to do in the ordeal. She tried to speak several times, but she was worried that she might make a mistake. Between hesitation and struggle, John had come to them.

Blue Li meaningfully closed jaw, "so you really hide there."

"What?" Melissa was stunned.

"What?" John was stunned, and then he stammered, "but... Just now... You... You don't know... What's going on..."

Blue Li showed a big smile, "just take a chance. I just noticed something that vaguely looked like a lens, right next to the flowerpot, but I couldn't completely confirm it, so I raised my voice and yelled, "try it." Langley is not Sherlock Holmes. How can he know everything in detail?

John opened his mouth. "So I'm... Offering to deliver it now?"

Blue Li pursed the corners of his mouth, a relaxed freehand look.

John was both surprised and annoyed. It was obviously because of Melissa's panic that he was forced to stand up and hide again. His body and lens were not completely hidden. Otherwise, his disguise would not be found at all!

But now regret has no effect, John or quickly calm down, deal with the immediate situation is the top priority.

Two ideas are surging in John's mind: whether to choose to continue in the end, publish the photos according to the plan, Melissa will still be able to gain the upper hand, and Langley may also fall into the pattern of being unable to argue; Or choose to release friendly signals and use these photos as chips to establish a good cooperative relationship with lanli?

Melissa? Or Langley?

It was not a difficult choice. John opened the camera in his hand, took out the memory card and handed it to him. "You can take it. Today's event will be regarded as if it never happened."

"You Melissa took a half step forward and looked at John in disbelief. There was no dialogue, no negotiation or even confrontation. Did the other party break the contract like this?

But John didn't care. "I'll refund the relevant expenses. I will also take responsibility for the failure of this mission. You can publicize it. " Paparazzi took the task of secretly photographing, but he failed. This still had an impact on his reputation. But in John's opinion, if he could get on line with blue Lee, then nothing else would matter.

"I..." Melissa is trying to say something else. She doesn't care about the cost and reputation at all. What she needs is the result. Even if Langley has seen through it, she still hopes that this time's plan can be completed, and the exposure rate is the most important thing.

But before the words could be uttered, Lan Li, who was standing beside him, said, "no, you can keep it."

No?

Actually refused!

Melissa and John looked at him in surprise. They couldn't believe their ears - there were so many accidents today that their brains couldn't handle them.

Why?

"Today's photos, you can publish. I don't care too much about the truth or the lies. " Lan Li said lightly that after his anger subsided, he had recovered and his mind was turning quickly.

In fact, after the news is released, whether it's in the way Melissa thinks or honestly announcing the truth, the impact on lanli is really limited. Public opinion or rumors in the industry, lanli doesn't care. He doesn't even bother to explain and clarify——

After experiencing the "speculation door" incident, lanli has gradually become immune to such things.

The thing that lanli is really worried about is the "pop drummer.".

If relevant news or even negative news breaks out now, it is easy for people to blur the focus, especially for independent films, which is a serious interference, and it is likely to affect the shooting work of Damien chazere and the whole crew, and even the release work in the future.

In Langley's eyes, a Melissa bainoist can't compare with a "pop drummer".

So, the focus of Langley's attention has never been on himself or Melissa.

"But we can make a deal." Lanli then said, this let John hold the memory card's right hand stopped in mid air, looked at the past curiously, "I tell you an important message, you can keep the memory card, the only requirement is, wait for the 'pop drummer' to be published after the green, as for how to publish, what content, completely up to you."

But how to respond, this is the matter of Lan Li.

Even if Langley didn't say it, John knew it. He folded his fingers and said with a smile, "deal."

John did not ask what the news was, nor did he measure whether the value of the news was fair. For him, to establish a private relationship with Langley is the best bargaining chip.

If you are a real smart person, you should destroy the memory card, and take the lead to express sincerity before lanli really shows his trading chips. This is a wise choice.

This thought once flashed through John's mind, but he was not a hero after all - otherwise he would not accept Melissa's invitation today. After all, he could not give up his petty gains. The idea was soon extinguished, and he still firmly held the memory card in his hand.

"John, you... You can't! We've agreed that you can't do that! " Melissa finally found her own voice, staring at everything in a daze. Lanli didn't even spend any effort, only two words, completely turned the situation around, so what should she do? What else can she do now?

unfair. It's not fair!
