The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 154: Keep ringing
"Dear 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 indicator light to go out..."
The polite and gentle voice of the flight attendant came out of the radio, but still could not suppress the commotion in the cabin that gradually became lively. Andy Rogers immediately took the phone out of his pocket, one, two, three, and one by one. After turning on the phone, the text messages came one after another, and there were 17 missed calls.

The three mobile phones are different. One is for private use and two for work. The two work numbers are also classified. Important contacts and customers use one, and ordinary people use the other. When he divides his business card, the phone number on it is The difference is that most strangers get the latter. Andy proficiently picked up the important work phone first, and checked the missed calls and unread text messages.
Suddenly, the ordinary work cell phone rang, glanced at the caller number, it was a strange number, so he ignored it, and quickly replied to the text message. The call rang for a long time, but after all, it stopped. However, it just passed. In fifteen seconds, it rang again, still with the same number. Andy continued to ignore it.
After all the text messages in the important work phone were replied, Andy picked up the normal work phone. The same number was called four times, and the call back was returned. The other party immediately picked up, "This is Andy. -Rogers."
"Andy, this is Gavin Hunter, a full-time reporter for U.S. Weekly." Gavin introduced himself cleanly, "Are you the manager of Lanly Hall?"
"Yes." Andy said skillfully. "May I ask what's the matter?"
"I want to have an exclusive interview with Lan Li, can I make an appointment?" Gavin cut directly into the subject.
At this moment, the important mobile phone rang, and Andy glanced at it. It was Daisy Lucas from Vanity Fair. She was an old acquaintance. Andy was not in a hurry to answer the phone, but said to the receiver. "Len Li is currently attending the Toronto Film Festival. Time cannot be arranged temporarily. Let's talk about it after the festival is over."
"U.S. Weekly" and "Entertainment Weekly" are the top five magazines in American entertainment magazines by volume, and their content, targets, and positioning are relatively close. They mainly publish gossip news and are popular with housewives. This is indeed a rather important magazine, but media interviews must also match the positioning of artists. For example, for actors like Sean Penn, even if they accept interviews with these two magazines, the market effect is very limited.
Renly is now in the early stages of his career. On the one hand, it is a critical moment to shape his image. On the other hand, it is a time period in which exposure is urgently needed. Andy is relatively cautious in controlling media interviews. Therefore, Andy did not immediately agree, but did not say anything to death.
"I know, I'm in Toronto right now. I met Lan Li, and he hoped that I could call to make an appointment." Gavin explained quickly, "I sincerely hope to have an in-depth interview with Lan Li, not just Is it about the Emmy Awards, or about his personal situation, and also about the new release of "Buried Alive". If possible, I would like to make a feature to really understand this new actor in depth."
Andy is a senior 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 has been the twenty-third appointment call for an interview—not an ordinary interview call, but an interview call. For new actors, this is really abnormal.
In the past few days, he has been very busy. Considering that Lanly is participating in the film festival in Toronto, "Buried Alive" is 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 As I know, he has heard of the excitement on the Internet, and the bulletin board singles list and the iTunes instant download list also grasp the basic situation, but the impact of the incident seems to have exceeded his expectations.
Just a moment ago, out of the 17 missed calls, five of them came to make an appointment for Lan Li's interview. Now the "U.S. Weekly" is on the sixth call, and Andy is a little curious. Is the call from "Vanity Fair" related to Lan Li?
"Lan Li now only has two works. If you want to produce a feature, the content is definitely not enough. I guess it's just one page." For reporters, Andy has his own set. Compromise when it is time to compromise, and be tough when it is tough. "We all know that if the US Weekly wants to interview Lan Li, it must show more sincerity."
Gavin choked involuntarily.
Andy knew right away that he was probably an inexperienced reporter. Otherwise, how could he have bluffed the other party with two sentences? The real senior reporters are all old fried dough sticks, one better than the other.
"I'm serious." Gavin was anxious and explained eagerly, "I think Lan Li is a very interesting actor. He watched'Magician','Mei Cuo' and'Scorched Earth' at the Toronto Film Festival. He and Ryan Gosling are very good friends. The two people not only watched many movies together, but also attended the “Blue Love” event last night. "People's Day'" projection. I think that his choice of "buried alive" is obviously not a random decision. I want to learn more about "buried alive", but did not find an effective way. Interview with Lan Li, I hope Can win the opportunity for in-depth understanding."
Gavin poured out all the gains in the past three days. If it was only because of curiosity about Lan Li's background at the beginning, then he is really curious about Lan Li, the actor now.
Andy raised his eyebrows slightly. Lan Li attended the "Blue Valentine's Day" screening last night? This **** guy didn't tell him, he missed another great opportunity! Also, when did he become friends with Ryan Gosling? This is simply unheard of!
Andy feels a little chest tight-because "Blue Valentine's Day" has nothing to do with him, so naturally he did not specifically inquire about the news; as for the Toronto Film Festival report, if his agent did not personally manage it, naturally he would not specifically mention it. Lan Li this newcomer. Therefore, he actually missed this important news, and now it seems that the call this morning is more targeted.
Andy seriously felt that Lan Li needed an assistant, otherwise he knew nothing about Lan Li's actions, which would be really deadly.
"I need to confirm the specific timetable. Let's make a list of questions and send it to my mailbox. I will browse it. If there is enough value, then we will make an appointment." Andy considered for a moment. Gives an answer deliberately.
In fact, for Lan Li, who is dedicated to making a world of independent films, the exclusive interview of American Weekly is of limited value. After all, the group is not keen on works of art. However, Andy feels that maybe giving this reporter named Gavin a chance is not a bad idea; maybe it can be an opportunity for Lan Li to open up the commercial market.
After hanging up Gavin's cell phone, the important work cell phone rang again. Looking at the phone display, it turned out to be Francis Parker, a senior broker of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. At the beginning, Francis was the first agent to try to sign Renly. Francis even got in touch with Tom Hanks through a relationship, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind.
Andy and Francis both know each other, and they will be polite in social situations, but they don't have much overlap in work. It's strange that Francis would actually call him.
The plane finally stabilized. Andy quickly got off the plane. He was on the phone all the way, one after another, but he couldn't stop. When he arrived at the hotel where Lanli was staying, both work phones were about to run out of power. Quickly put the phone in his pocket, took out his personal mobile phone as a spare, first checked into his room, and then found Lan Li’s room. This time he wisely showed his identity certificate-Lan Li’s room was an An Di booked in the name of Di, asked for a key card from the front desk in advance, and entered the room effortlessly.
Entering the room, Lan Li’s room is still messy, suits and shirts are randomly thrown on the back of the sand chair, socks and shoes are left at the door of the kitchen-the ghost knows why Lan Li will take off his shoes there, and bathrobes are placed On the sand in the hall, the bath towel appeared on the floor at the entrance of the bedroom. In this way, even if Andy has no hygienic addiction and no obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is a headache to watch.
"I told you this is a terrible work."
"It's a pity that I really liked the "Infernal Affairs" before, and the "Infernal Affairs" filmed by Martin later suits the tastes of Americans, but I still prefer Andrew-Lau's version."
"After the "Injured City" in 2006, his works lacked that sharpness and connotation, and this time is no exception.
...
The voice of the two people discussing enthusiastically came from the door of the room, and Andy met them, "Good morning, two gentlemen."
"Oh, Andy, you have arrived. Is the journey going well?" Lan Li greeted familiarly.
Andy smiled and nodded to Lan Li~lightnovelpub.net~ and then introduced himself to Ryan, who was standing diagonally behind, "I’m Andy, Lan Li’s agent. Last night, Lan Li "Sex Valentine's Day" has received a lot of praise. It seems that this year is yours again."
Ryan also took 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 selecting films has opened my eyes to me. It's time to watch his performance."
"'Buried alive' is also his choice. So, you can just trust him." Andy said honestly, "So, will you attend the screening?"
"Of course, this is the plan. If Lan Li is still welcome." Ryan cast his sights at Lan Li, but saw Lan Li shrug his shoulders and look like "I'm not sure", which made Ryan directly I was stunned.
Andy smiled and said, "Don't worry, there must be a seat for you on the red carpet, we naturally couldn't be more welcome." Ryan couldn't help but sighed and smiled again, "But, can I ask you to leave now? We still have some business affairs to deal with, you know, there is not much time left before the evening screening."
Ryan looked dumbfounded.
