"Passengers, the plane is still taxiing, please do not turn on your mobile phones and electronic devices, fasten your seat belts, and wait for the lights to go off......"

The flight attendant's polite and gentle voice came from the radio, but it still couldn't suppress the commotion in the cabin, Andy Rogers immediately took the phone out of his pocket, one, two, three, and then turned on the phone one by one, and after turning it on, the text messages came one after another, and there were seventeen missed calls. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The three mobile phones are different, one for personal use, two for work, two work numbers but also divided into levels, one for important contacts and customers, and another for ordinary people; when he distributes business cards, the phone numbers on them are different, and for strangers, most of them get the latter. Andy expertly picked up his important work phone first and checked for missed calls and unread text messages.

Suddenly, the ordinary work mobile phone rang, glanced at the caller number, it was an unfamiliar number, so I ignored it, quickly replied to the text message, the call rang for a long time, and finally stopped, but, only less than fifteen seconds later, it rang again, it was still the same number. Andy continues to ignore it.

After all the text messages in the important work mobile phone were answered, Andy picked up his ordinary work mobile phone, called the same number four times, called back, and the other party immediately picked up, "This is Andy Rogers." ”

"Andy, this is Gavin Hunter, a full-time reporter for 'US Weekly.' Gavin introduced himself cleanly, "Are you Lanley-Hall's agent?"

"Yes. Andy said expertly, "Is there anything wrong?"

"I want to do an interview with Lan Li, can I make an appointment?" Gavin cut straight to the point.

At this time, the important mobile phone actually rang, Andy glanced at it, it was Daisy Lucas of "Vanity Fair", an old acquaintance, Andy did not answer the phone in a hurry, but said into the receiver, "Lan Li is now participating in the Toronto Film Festival, and the time cannot be arranged for the time being." Let's talk about it after the festival is over. ”

"American Weekly" and "Entertainment Weekly" are the top five magazines in circulation among American entertainment magazines, and their contents, targets, and positioning are relatively similar, mainly publishing gossip news, and are very popular among housewives. This is indeed an important magazine, but media interviews must also match the positioning of the artist, such as actors like Sean Penn, even if they are interviewed by these two magazines, the market effect is very limited.

Lan Li is now in the early stage of his career, on the one hand, it is a critical moment to shape his image, and on the other hand, it is a time period when he urgently needs exposure, Andy is still more cautious about the control of media interviews, and he doesn't want to open the floodgates in one breath. Therefore, Andy did not immediately agree, but he did not say anything to death.

"I know, I'm in Toronto right now. I met Lan Li and he wanted me to call to make an appointment. Gavin quickly explained, "I really wanted to have an in-depth interview with Lan Li, not only about the Emmys, but also about his personal situation, and about the 'buried alive' of this new release." If I could, I'd like to make a feature that really gets to the bottom of the rookie actor. ”

Andy is a veteran agent, so naturally he will not be deceived by this simple rhetoric. But what is interesting is that from the day before yesterday to today, this is the twenty-third interview appointment call -- not an ordinary interview call, but an interview call. For a rookie actor, this is really abnormal.

In the past few days, he has been too busy to touch the ground, considering that Lan Li is participating in a film festival in Toronto, "buried alive" as an independent film, and there is no so-called publicity strategy at all, so there is no distraction management for the time being, but the basic situation is also understood, he has heard of the excitement on the Internet, and the Billboard singles chart and the iTunes instant download chart have also grasped the basic situation, but the impact of the matter seems to have exceeded his expectations.

Just now, out of the seventeen missed calls, five of them were for the purpose of making an appointment for Lan Li's interview. Now that "Us Weekly" is the sixth call, Andy is a little curious, is the call from "Vanity Fair" just now related to Lan Li?

"Lan Li only has two works now, and if you want to make a special feature, the content is definitely not enough, and it is estimated that it is only one page of content. "Andy has his own way of dealing with reporters, compromise when he should compromise, and be tough when he should be tough," we all know that if 'America Weekly' wants to interview Lan Li, it will definitely want to show more sincerity than that. ”

Gavin choked.

Andy immediately knew that this was probably still an inexperienced reporter, otherwise how could he scare the other party in two sentences, the real senior reporters are all old fritters, one is better than the other.

"I'm serious. Gavin was a little anxious and eagerly explained, "I think Lan Li is a very interesting actor, he watched 'The Magician', 'Beauty Mistake', 'Scorched Earth City' and other artistic works at the Toronto Film Festival, and also participated in the documentary screening unit, he and Ryan Gosling are very good friends, the two not only watched many movies together, but also attended the premiere of 'Blue Valentine' last night." I think that his choice of 'burying alive' was obviously not a random decision, and I wanted to know more about 'burying alive', but I didn't find an effective way. Interviewing Lan Li, I hope to win the opportunity to learn more about it. ”

Gavin poured out all the gains of the past three days, if at first it was just because he was curious about Lan Li's background, then what he is really curious about now is Lan Li's actor.

Andy raised an eyebrow slightly, Lan Li attended the premiere of "Blue Valentine's Day" last night? Damn the hell, he didn't tell him, he missed another great opportunity! Also, when did he become friends with Ryan Gosling? It's unheard of!

Andy felt a little tight--because "Blue Valentine's Day" had nothing to do with him, so naturally he didn't specifically inquire about the news; as for the Toronto Film Festival report, if his agent didn't personally check it, he naturally wouldn't specifically mention Lan Li, a newcomer. Therefore, he actually missed this important news, and now it seems that this morning's call seems to be more targeted.

Andy seriously felt that Lan Li needed an assistant, otherwise he would not know anything about Lan Li's actions, which was really too deadly.

"I need to confirm the specific timeline. So, you make a list of questions, send them to my mailbox, I'll go through them, and if there's enough value, then we'll make an appointment. Andy thought about it for a moment, then gave an answer.

In fact, for Lan Li, who is committed to making a name for herself in independent films, the interview with Us Weekly is of limited value, after all, the audience is not keen on art. However, Andy thinks that maybe it is not impossible to give this reporter named Gavin a chance, and maybe it can be an opportunity for Lanli to open up the commercial market.

After hanging up Gavin's phone, the important work phone rang again, and when I looked at the caller ID, it was actually Francis Parker, a senior agent at Endeavour Elite Agency. At the beginning, Francis was one of the first agents to try to sign Lanli, and Francis even contacted Tom Hanks through connections, but in the end he was not able to make up his mind.

Andy and Francis both know each other and are polite in social situations, but they don't have much in common when it comes to work. It's a bit strange that Francis would call him.

The plane finally stabilized, Andy quickly stepped off the plane, making phone calls all the way, one after another, never stopping, and when he arrived at the hotel where Lan Li was staying, the two working mobile phones were about to run out of battery. Quickly put the phone in his pocket, took out his personal phone for backup, checked into his room first, and then found Lan Li's room, this time he cleverly showed his identity - Lan Li's room was booked in Andy's name, asked for a key card from the front desk in advance, and entered the room effortlessly.

Entering the room, Lan Li's room was still a mess, suits and shirts were casually thrown on the back of the sofa chair, socks and shoes were thrown at the kitchen door - who knows why Lan Li would take off his shoes there, the bathrobe was placed on the sofa in the hall, and the bath towel appeared on the floor of the bedroom doorway. This look, even if Andy has no cleanliness and no obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is a headache to watch.

"I told you, it's a terrible work. ”

"It's a pity, I really liked 'Infernal Affairs' before, and then Martin's 'Departed' was very much to American taste, but I still liked Andrew-Lau's version more. ”

"After the 2006 'Wounded City', his work lacked that sharpness and connotation, and this time is no exception. ”

……

The voices of the two men discussing passionately came from the door of the room, and then Andy met them, "Good morning, two gentlemen. ”

"Oh, Andy, you've arrived. Is the journey smooth?" Lan Li greeted familiarly.

Andy smiled and nodded at Lan Li, and then introduced himself to Ryan, who was standing diagonally behind, "I'm Andy, Lan Li's agent, I received a lot of praise for 'Blue Valentine's Day' last night, and it seems that this year is your year again." ”

Ryan also held Andy's right hand and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to the release of Lan Li's work now, his vision for film selection has opened my eyes, and now it's time to watch his performance." ”

"'Burying alive' is also his choice. So, you can trust him. Andy honestly said, "So, will you be there for the premiere?"

"Of course, this is the plan, if Lan Li is still welcome. Ryan cast his gaze at Lan Li, but saw Lan Li shrug his shoulders with a "I'm not sure" look, which made Ryan stunned directly.

Andy smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a seat for you on the red carpet, and we can't be more welcome." Ryan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled again, "But can I ask you to leave now? We've got some business to attend to, and you know, there's not much time left until the premiere in the evening." ”

Ryan, with a bewildered expression.
