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

"What...what..."

Melissa was frightened, she almost jumped up, moving her eyes up and down, to force herself to calm down in fear, but it was not an easy task, her voice began to tremble slightly, and she had to He clenched his fists and stood up suddenly, "Paparazzi? What? Where is the paparazzi?"

Between the sparks and the flint, Melissa made a decision. Survival/capable of erupting huge energy. After standing up, Melissa looked nervously at Lan Li again, ignoring her embarrassment. "What happened just now was recorded by the paparazzi. Will they have any misunderstandings? I can explain to them. It was just a misunderstanding. I accidentally fell."

The subtext is that she doesn't know anything about paparazzi. Even if the paparazzi appears, it must be because of Lan Li. After all, Lan Li is the focus of attention in North America, and is exposed to the paparazzi's lens all the time.

Quick wit, maybe Melissa is not smart, but at this time she still showed a bit of quick wit, but under the crisis situation, she has stimulated her potential, and her performance at this time is much more realistic than before.

However, even if Lan Li hadn't seen the trick before, Melissa couldn't get it right now: the performance was too ostentatious, just like a high school stage play. No wonder, later Melissa was able to play the leading role in the "Supergirl" of cw TV station. She is indeed very suitable for the idol drama of teenagers, and now she can catch some clues.

"Are you sure?" Lan Li said meaningfully, "Are you sure you don't know that a paparazzi is hidden in a corner of the building on the opposite block? Are you sure you don't know that his shooting angle is exactly the back of the front and back, it's very easy Create a misaligned effect? ​​Are you sure you don’t know that paparazzi is hiding now with a guilty conscience?"

Melissa froze in place like this, and the words of denial had flowed to her throat, but under the gaze of Lan Li's eyes, she couldn't make a sound.

"Do you know? The paparazzi who wait at my door every day never hide their figure, because they need a better shooting angle. They are here to wait for the rabbit, so why hide? Do you still know? The paparazzi at the door knows clearly that I won’t have any news during the filming, and they don’t even want to wait here?"

Lan Li is not a personality that likes to explain, because facts are facts, and the truth will come to light sooner or later; at the same time, he doesn't enjoy the process of using facts to push the opponent into a corner. It is really unnecessary to be aggressive.

But at this moment, Lan Li listed all the facts one by one, which really made Melissa feel ashamed, as if she had met the stylist Melvin Bligh in the Upper East Side in order to attend the Emmy Awards. Desi general. Really full firepower, anyone familiar with Lan Li knows that Melissa has touched his bottom line.

Melissa is like an ice cellar.

Lan Li didn't pay any attention at all, turning his head and shouting in the opposite direction, "Mr., would you please come out? Please come out while we can still talk peacefully; otherwise, even if you are now If you don’t come out, in the future, after you sell the photos, I will always know the source. Or are you going to hide the fruits of today’s labor forever without seeing the sun?"

damn it!

John pressed his back against the wall, smashed the wall with his right fist, and cursed viciously, "Damn it!"

Although he had guessed it a long time ago, things will definitely not go too smoothly; but who knows, it was really unlucky to be seen through in such a simple way! Unlucky home!

John is fighting between heaven and man, go out? Still not going out?

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

At the end of tossing and turning, John decided to trust Joey once.

So John stood up, left his shelter, opened the door, exposed his whole body to the sun, and walked step by step toward the direction where Lanly and Melissa were.

The paparazzi actually appeared!

The paparazzi actually appeared like this!

Melissa was already on the verge of collapse, constantly winking at John, and constantly looking at Lan Li's face. In the midst of suffering, she didn't know what to do. She tried to speak a few times, but she was worried about herself. Wrong words, on the contrary, may be self-defeating. Between hesitation and struggle, John has arrived in front of the two people.

Lan Li closed his jaw meaningfully, "So you really are hiding there."

"What?" Melissa was stunned.

"What?" John was also stunned, and then John stammered, "But...just now...you...you don't know...then...what's going on..."

Lan Li showed a big smile, "It's just a chance. I just noticed something that vaguely looked like a lens, right next to the flowerpot, but I couldn't confirm it completely, so I shouted and tried. Try it." Lan Li is not Sherlock Holmes, how can he understand everything in every detail?

John opened his mouth, "Then am I... am I taking the initiative to deliver it to the door?"

Lan Li pursed the corner of his mouth, looking relaxed and freehand.

John was stunned and annoyed. Obviously, it was because of Melissa’s panic that forced John to stand up. When he hid again, his figure and camera were not completely hidden. This was seen through. Otherwise, his The disguise will never be discovered!

But regretting now was of no avail, John calmed down quickly, and dealing with the current situation was the top priority.

Two thoughts surged in John's mind: whether to choose to continue to the end and publish the photos according to the plan, Melissa can still gain the upper hand, and Lan Li may also fall into the indefatigable arrogance; or choose to release the friendly signal. , Using these photos as a bargaining chip to establish a good cooperative relationship with Lan Li?

Melissa? Or Lan Li?

This is not a difficult choice. John opened the camera in his hand, took out the memory card in it, and handed it over, "You can accept it. Today's things will be treated as if it hadn't happened."

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

John didn't care, "I will refund the related expenses. I will take the initiative to take responsibility for the failure of this mission. You can even publicize it." The paparazzi took the sneak shot task, but it messed up. This It still has an impact on reputation, but in John's view, if you can get on the line with Lan Li, then nothing else is a big deal.

"I..." Melissa still tried to say something. She didn't care about the cost and reputation. What she needed was the result. Even if Lan Li had seen it through, she still hoped that the plan this time could be completed and the exposure rate was the most important.

But before the words could be spoken, Lan Li, who was standing next to him, spoke, "No, you can keep it."

Refused?

Actually refused!

Both Melissa and John looked at Lan Li with all their faces in surprise, and couldn't believe their ears-there were so many accidents that the brain couldn't handle them.

why?

"Today's photo, you can publish it. Whether it's the truth or lies, I don't care too much." Lan Li said lightly. After the anger settled down, he has now recovered his calmness, and his mind is turning quickly.

In fact, after the news is released, whether it is in the way Melissa thinks or the truth of the matter is announced honestly, for Lan Li, the impact is really limited. Public opinion or industry rumors, Lan Li does not care, he Don’t even bother to explain and clarify——

After experiencing the "hype door" incident, Lan Li has gradually become immune to such things.

What Lan Li is really worried about is the "burst drummer".

If there is an outbreak of related news, or even negative news, people will easily blur the focus, especially for independent films, it will be a serious interference, and it is likely to affect Damien Chazere and the filming of the entire crew. Work ~lightnovelpub.net~ and even future release work.

In Lan Li's eyes, a Melissa Benoist cannot be compared to a "burst drummer".

Therefore, Lan Li’s focus has never been on himself or Melissa.

"But we can make a deal." Lan Li said immediately, which made John stop in the air with his right hand holding the memory card, and looked over curiously, "I tell you an important message, you can remember Keep the card. The only requirement is to wait for the "Blasting Drummer" to complete the announcement. As for how to announce and what content, it is completely up to you."

But how to respond, this is Lan Li's business.

Even if Lan Li didn't say this, John knew it well. He put his fingers together 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, establishing a personal relationship with Lan Li was the best bargaining chip.

If you are a truly smart person, you can simply destroy the memory card at this time and express your sincerity before Renly really reveals the bargaining chip. This is the clever choice.

Such thoughts flashed in John's mind, but he was not a hero after all-otherwise he would not accept Melissa's invitation today. After all, he still couldn't let go of the petty gains in his hands, and the idea was quickly pinched After it was gone, he still held the memory card firmly in his palm.

"John, you...you can't do this! We've already said, you can't do this!" Melissa finally found her voice and watched everything in a daze. Lan Li didn't even expend any effort, just use After two sentences, the situation was completely reversed, so what should she do? What else can she do now?

unfair. This is not fair!
