The all-night carnival of St. Patrick's Day made Lan Li's brain hurt faintly, last night's party was about four o'clock, all kinds of alcohol mixed with drinking, the atmosphere of the party at that time was intoxicating, there was not much feeling at all, but after waking up in the morning, it began to be painful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Lan Li didn't have time to sleep, and got up at 9 o'clock in the morning to rush to the airport and take a noon flight to Los Angeles. The day after tomorrow, March 20, "War in the Pacific" will have a grand premiere at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, and all the crew will reunite.

After getting on the plane, Lan Li fell asleep in a daze, until the flight attendant woke him up, then packed up his luggage and walked off the plane, and the three-hour flight time finally relieved his headache a little.

After receiving his luggage, he quickly walked out of the hall door, stood on the side of the street and looked left and right, but his vision couldn't help but be a little confused, and he couldn't find the focus at all. Within the line of vision, there is a flat river, golden sunshine, blue sky, wide streets, and deep blue waves...... Each scene reveals a casual and empty atmosphere, showing a completely different style from New York, as if even the oxygen factor is permeated with vitality, and the headache seems to be better.

Lan Li was thinking about whether he should choose a taxi or rent a car.

As expected, despite starring in "Pacific War" and winning the highest salary for a newcomer, Lan Li is still outright poor. The first and second installments of the remuneration have been successfully received, and after deducting taxes, it is about 55,000 US dollars, which is really a lot of money, and it can even be said to be the highest income that Lan Li has earned in himself since he became a human in two lifetimes. But in the entertainment industry, it's nothing.

After the official screening of "Pacific War", Lan Li's life under the spotlight officially began, which also means that he must start to deal with facing the ubiquitous camera, even if this is just a rainy day, it is very likely that Lan Li still did not get any attention after the TV series was screened, but this investment is a long-term plan, and there can be no fluke mentality.

Lan Li did not have an agent, nor did he hire a professional stylist, he took care of it all by himself, and for the next premiere and related publicity, he first purchased several sets of clothing, including suits for formal occasions, private clothes for casual occasions, and of course matching shoes, ties, socks, etc. This cost nearly twenty-five thousand, and that's when men don't need to think about jewelry.

After that, I paid my rent for two months, went to a high-end beauty salon to get my hair cut, bought a round-trip plane ticket to Los Angeles, and spent money on a holiday party...... This is not a detailed calculation of the cost of Lanli in Australia in the past period - there is income and expenditure, it is more troublesome to calculate, but in a blink of an eye, that income has returned to less than 20,000.

Lan Li originally planned to buy a new car, but considering that there might be unexpected costs in the future, he had to give up for the time being, and after the "Pacific War", he had to be prepared to find a job for a long time, and this reserve will give him more confidence to continue in New York.

For big-name actors, HBO may directly send a special car to pick up the airport, but Lan Li, a nobody, can only be careful about the fifty dollar taxi fare.

"Lan Li! Hey, Lan Li!"

During the hesitation, a voice came not far from the outside lane accompanied by the sound of the wind, and at the same time, a person stood up through the sunroof of the car, waving his hands vigorously, it was not Rami Malek, but James Beji Dyer, who was also driving through the driver's window and shaking his left hand excitedly.

"What are you still stunned, come here!" shouted James, pulling his throat.

Lan Li lifted the suitcase next to him - in order to avoid wrinkles in the suit, he could only carry the suitcase to travel, stretched out his hand to warn the vehicles in the inner lane, and then quickly crossed the zebra crossing, Rami had already opened the door of the rear seat, first threw the suitcase up, and then Lan Li quickly got in the car, closed the door, and set off, all in one go.

"Guys, why are you here?" Lan Li's eyes showed surprise, and in the blink of an eye, they hadn't seen each other for two months, but their familiarity with each other didn't affect them in the slightest. Just like "Band of Brothers", this kind of friendship is accumulated by enduring hardships together and fighting side by side.

"Rami said, you're coming to Los Angeles for the first time, so I, the landlord, decided to take you on a tour of the City of Angels!" James skillfully took the steering wheel and left the bustling pick-up gate of Los Angeles International Airport, "To be honest, a cold, damp, distant and remote place like New York is really not suitable for the long-term development of actors." ”

"The mayor of Los Angeles has invited you to be the spokesperson of the city?" Lan Li's answer made Rami laugh heartily, and the two cities of Los Angeles and New York also had a funny relationship of mocking and mocking each other, "Why don't you go inside the airport to pick you up? Just outside? What if I just get in a taxi and leave?"

"Rami is about to call you. James raised his chin and gestured, "It's too troublesome to park here, and it's not easy to get in and out of the parking lot, so it's better to go around Airport Boulevard, which is faster." James looked back at the car behind him, "You have to thank me for my wisdom, otherwise we're still stuck in traffic." ”

"It seems that Los Angeles is no different from New York. "Terrible traffic. Lan Li's words left James speechless. Lan Li ignored James with a smile and turned his head to look at Rami beside him, "When did you come to Los Angeles?"

"It's been two weeks. Rami took over the topic, "It's awards season lately, and there are always more opportunities in Los Angeles. What about you, Australia, and the Gold Coast seems to have become your second home?"

Lan Li began to share interesting things that happened in the past time with his friends, and they also chatted about their recent developments, and the three of them had one thing in common: no change. After the "Pacific War" was completed, they didn't get too many opportunities, and now let's see what opportunities the TV series can bring.

"With the names of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, it's still different after all. Rami said expectantly.

HBO, like "Band of Brothers", held a grand premiere for the "Pacific War", which is a treatment that only movies can enjoy. That alone was enough to get people excited, even Lan Li was no exception, and I didn't expect that the opportunity to attend the premiere would come so soon.

"Which hotel are you staying in?" James glanced at the road sign next to him, "This afternoon's magazine interview was scheduled at the Sunset Tower Hotel, if you're in the same direction, let's go to the hotel to drop off our luggage, otherwise, just go over there." It's going to be three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Isn't it an interview at six o'clock?" Lan Li was stunned, it was only a quarter past two o'clock, he thought that he had left enough time to rest to avoid accidents, but why was he going to gather at three o'clock? Now the time was extremely tight.

Rami and James looked at Lan Li unexpectedly, a smile leaked from the corner of James's mouth, Rami met Lan Li's puzzled eyes, and explained, "Lan Li, you should know that we need to make up before we are interviewed, right?" Looking at Lan Li's stunned expression, Rami knew the answer, "Moreover, the main cast will be photographed and interviewed, we need to take turns to play, starting at six o'clock, this is just an estimate of the time, it is estimated that at five o'clock, the staff of the magazine will be on the scene to prepare." ”

Lan Li must admit that he did not expect this at all - no matter how much he saw in the movie, the actual situation was still different after all.

This once again proves that Lan Li is indeed a newcomer, a newcomer with no experience at all. James gloated, making Rami laugh too.

After laughing, Lan Li took out the address and glanced at it, "I live in ...... Uh, Midtown?"

"Ah, where is Koreatown?" James reacted immediately, "Rami also lives in that area, and the security is not very good at night, so it's better to pay attention." As a landlord, James is really familiar with it, "Then we will go directly to the Sunset Tower Hotel, these two directions are not the same." It's okay to arrive a little earlier, the crew should have arrived, and we can prepare in advance, so that we have time to prepare for the interview. ”

For Lan Li, everything is new, and unlike filming, promotional itineraries such as premieres and magazine interviews, which are part of the film industry, are not directly related to acting. Although Lan Li's interest is not very great, but the first experience, it is inevitable that he is still a little curious - it is like a siege, always standing outside, and now he can finally get a glimpse of the scenery inside the wall, even if he is not interested, he must take a good look.

When I arrived at the Sunset Tower Hotel, Lan Li was a little surprised, the gate that seemed to only park two cars was really a bit of a childishness, hidden behind a simple and simple flower bed, neither atmospheric nor gorgeous, and even slightly inferior to many four-star hotels. So why is Vanity Fair's annual Oscar Night held here?

James parked the car at the door, and the waiter in a black suit greeted him, opened the door, and saw the trunk in the back compartment, the waiter turned around and summoned, and the luggage boy followed, Lan Li habitually walked straight forward, and only after taking a few steps did he react and pause - in the previous twenty years of life, he had long been accustomed to leaving all the trivial matters to the porter when entering and exiting such occasions, so that he forgot that first, he was poor now, and second, he did not come to live in the hotel today.

Turning around, Lan Li saw the little brother carrying his luggage and followed with a smile on his face. Now that everyone has already provided services, let's go with the flow. So, Lan Li took another step and walked into the sunset tower hotel, which looked a little shabby, and walked into the heart of Hollywood for the first time.
