The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 55 Calm

“600 cases of beer, 70 cases of whiskey, 40 cases of brandy, and 40 cases of tequila. Right?”

The uncle truck in front of him confirmed with the manifest. Lan Li stood by, holding the numbers recorded in the warehouse just now after the inventory was completed. After browsing and confirming one by one, he nodded, “That’s right!” and then answered. After passing the manifest, I signed my name in the recipient column above, “Where’s the red wine? When can the red wine reserved by Stanley arrive?”

“Next Monday.” The truck uncle replied expertly, “You can support this weekend, right?”

“No problem this weekend.” After Lanli signed, he handed the bill to the uncle. The uncle tore off one of the copies and handed it to Lanli. “But it’s better to arrive on time on Monday. We estimate that we will have to arrive on Thursday. Out of stock.” It is said that it will be Thursday, but the situation on the weekend is elusive. Maybe it will be gone by Monday.

“Understand, we will definitely be on time.” The uncle packed up his things and said with a smile, but his steps didn’t mean to leave.

Lan Li was already about to turn around. Seeing the uncle’s probing eyes, he paused for a while and thanked him with a smile, “Thanks for your hard work, I hope everything goes well today.”

Seeing that Lan Li was about to leave, the uncle did not hold back after all, and shouted, “Are you that guy? Lan Li?” Looking up, Lan Li could see the uncontrollable excitement on his face, “Yours The performance is really good, even a crude person like me can see it, really good!”

“Heh.” Lan Li chuckled lightly, “This is the best affirmation of my work.” Without humility or pride, Lan Li accepted the compliment calmly.

“I didn’t expect you to work here. I thought, shouldn’t people like you go on tour or something? Living under the spotlight?” The uncle laughed heartily, not malicious, just curious. “I’m looking forward to seeing your next performance. Letting you work here is really overkill.” As he said, the uncle turned around and sat in the driver’s seat again.

Lan Li’s brows twitched slightly, always feeling a little strange, but he couldn’t tell. Suddenly, there was a flash of light in his head, and he opened his mouth and said half-jokingly, “Unexpectedly, you actually subscribe to HBO.” Most of the users who subscribe to HBO are. White-collar families and blue-collar truck drivers like HBO don’t have much interest in HBO.

“HBO?” followed by a burst of laughter, “I don’t subscribe to something that is expensive and boring.” As if he heard the best joke of the day, the uncle patted the steering wheel, and then moved towards Lan Li A big smile appeared, “Thank you! Then I’ll leave first, and there are three other goods to deliver!” After speaking, the truck started up, and amidst the roar of engines, it gradually left the back door of Pioneer Village. Alley.

Lan Li stood there and thought about it carefully. If Uncle Truck didn’t subscribe to HBO, why would he know him? Afterwards, Lan Li shook his head, throwing away all the messy thoughts. Although the other party did not subscribe to HBO at home, it does not mean that he could not watch the “Pacific War” elsewhere; or he saw the essence of the episode on YouTube. This is also possible. Now is the Internet age, and all information is disseminated. It’s becoming fast and widespread, and everything is possible, isn’t it?

The strange feeling just now must have been his own random thoughts. He raised his right hand, rubbed his hair vigorously, and disrupted the slightly curly short hair again, as if this way, he could reduce the weight of some thoughts in his mind.

After the “Pacific War” began, Lanly’s life has not changed much. Although the discussions on the Internet and the media are so lively, the hot sight has been concentrated on this series, and Lanly has also become the whirlpool center of public opinion; but In fact, Lan Li could not feel the turbulent enthusiasm at all, as if the enthusiasm on TV, the turbulence on the Internet, and the boiling in the newspapers had nothing to do with Lan Li. Everything happened in another one, separated from real life. Like the country of China, a country covered by a spotlight lantern, but Lan Li still lives out of the spotlight.

He still insists on going to the pioneer village to work every day, still looking for performance opportunities off Broadway, and still persevering to find job opportunities in the Screen Actors Guild of America, but the harvest is very limited, only two audition opportunities, and once he dislikes him as too young. Once he disliked his performance as too much a stage play, both failed.

Strictly speaking, Lan Li’s current life is no different from before. The only difference is that in this scene just now, occasionally on the street, some people can recognize him, and then discuss two plots with joy, that’s all.

This is the first time that Lanly has personally experienced the nuances of the entertainment industry, especially the difference between movies and TV. A successful movie and a successful TV series have a huge gap in the degree of attention they bring. Of course, this is only relatively speaking. If it is the heyday of “Friends”, any actor in the play is on the street. Walking can cause a sensation.

“The Pacific War” is a mini-series, and it is also a mini-series broadcast on a cable TV channel such as HBO that requires a fee, and its influence is even more limited.

Therefore, Lan Li has no experience with the frenzy on the Internet, the attention of the news media, the ups and downs of drama series, he is more like a bystander, like other ordinary viewers, watching TV There was a lot of disturbance on the screen. This is really a very wonderful feeling.

No wonder people always say that it is not difficult to enter Hollywood, as long as a good skin is enough; but it is extremely difficult to occupy a place in Hollywood; as for the apex of the pyramid in Hollywood, it is difficult to reach the sky. . Now, Lan Li has gradually begun to feel a little real.

Pushing open the back door, Lan Li went all the way back to the front of the bar, looking around for Stanley Charlson, but before he could find Stanley, he saw a group of people around the table, talking noisily, ” What’s the first? What’s the first?”, “The top fifty, it must be in the top fifty”… Then a dull voice sounded from the crowd, which was not clear at all from the outside, and then everyone held up high. Cheers with both hands, “Wow!”

Lan Li couldn’t help but change his pace, walked towards the crowd, poked his head out, and tried to join in, “What’s the matter? What happened?”

Unexpectedly, when they heard Lan Li’s voice, everyone seemed to have seen a ghost with a frightened expression, and then everyone began to push him out, “It’s okay, it’s okay”, “Just watching…Uh…”, “Rugby!” “, “Yes, rugby”… The frolicking voice became more and more guilty, and the gesture of wanting to cover it was really obvious.

Lan Li did not resist either. After being pushed out for a while, he waited for everyone to relieve their strength, then turned around, calmly looking at the friends, and the inquisitive smile on the corner of his mouth made everyone avoid. After opening his eyes, he didn’t dare to look directly at Lan Li. Seeing what else Janice Black wanted to defend, Lan Li shook his head slightly and said with a smile, “You are really the least secret group in the world. Come on, what’s going on? Instead of letting me be Guessing here, it’s better to take the initiative to tell me.”

The understatement has a majesty that cannot be denied. You push me and I push you, winking at each other, but no one speaks. Lan Li lifted his chin and looked back, “Neil Tucson, now This is your last time to confess. If you miss it, there will be no next time.”

The joking words can even feel the gentle smile at the corner of Lan Li’s mouth, but Neil’s footsteps that were about to sneak away stopped in place, and his scalp was numb. “Hey.” Neil Gan laughed twice, still. I was about to cover it up, but then everyone looked at Neil in unison, and Janice directly said, “It’s Neil’s idea, it’s all Neil’s idea.”

“Yes!” Others also huffed up their fingers and pointed them at Neil standing behind the crowd. It was obvious that they planned to let Neil carry the black pot on his back. The scene was truly spectacular.

Now Neal jumped, “Guys, you can’t abandon me like this!” Neil held the computer in his arms, “This is obviously a proposal that everyone has passed, not just me! Stanley, Stanley What?” Looking left, looking right, Neil couldn’t find Stanley, he couldn’t help but gritted his teeth, “Larry, believe me, this is everyone’s idea, I’m just the implementer, really.”

Now Lan Li is confused, what’s going on? Why he has no clue.

However, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Lan Li did not show it. Instead, he held the shelf, continued to maintain his majesty, calmly, and waited for Neil to confess and be lenient.

Sure enough, Neil opened the computer in his hand and placed it on the desktop beside Lan Li, “Lan Li, are you ready to accept the surprise gift?” Gift? What’s this saying? There is still half a year before his birthday! “Please see.” Neal said solemnly, and then turned the computer screen to Lanly, finally unveiling the mystery.

Lan Li sat down and took a closer look. On the screen was the iTunes page. The top of the screen was the instant single download ranking. “What am I going to watch now?” Lan Li took a random scan and didn’t understand. Er stretched out his finger to the screen, and then Renly saw the line: “48, Cleopatra, Renly Hall.”

Lan Li opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He forgot. He really completely forgot. He forgot to record the “Cleopatra” digital sound source for Stanley as a gift. It was already…three It happened a month ago.

Lan Li took it for granted that this folk single would not stir up any waves, and would be submerged in a wave of countless singles in a blink of an eye. He didn’t care at all, so that when he saw the iTunes chart just now , I never remembered that I ever recorded a single, but I never expected that now I saw my singles actually ranked among the top 50 on the download charts. This, this is really something unexpected in dreams.

“Top 50! Lan Li, have you seen it?’Cleopatra’ ranks among the top 50 on the iTunes instant download list!” Neil said excitedly, his voice trembling uncontrollably.” Next, maybe you can make it to the billboard singles chart!”
