In London in November, drizzling rain continued to fall, and the gloomy and dark sky seemed to never see the sun. The cold and cold winter was sweeping everywhere, and the whole world was trembling, making people just want to curl up by the stove, hold a cup of black tea in a delicate manner, and then do nothing. It was also a rare enjoyment to spend a boring afternoon like this.

Ogs-Lancemos sat quietly in the corner of the cafe. Here, she raised a newspaper to cover her face, then sneaked down the newspaper a little bit, carefully looked at the people coming and going in the space. From time to time, she was like a scared puppy, and she pulled up the newspaper in panic, hiding herself behind the "Times" and pretending that she was not on the scene.

The light of sight can capture a red outside the window through the ink-like rain fog. The red monster like smoke and fog is spreading brilliantly. The world of drizzle suddenly brightens. The vision cannot help but drift away, trying to clear the fog and explore the magnificence behind it.

Ouges' attention was a little distracted, as if it was distracted by the red, and he couldn't help but start to draw the outlines of those lines in his mind, conceived the outlines and lines of an oil painting.

"Yaah."

The wooden door of the coffee house was pushed open, and Ouges's thoughts were interrupted. He quickly retracted his mind, pulled down the newspaper, and quietly looked at the customer who had just come in. Sure enough, he saw the red umbrella being closed, and the face behind the mysterious veil also walked out of the shadow and revealed it.

It's Renly Hall!

A dark gray polka dot shirt paired with ink black thick wool knitted sweater, and a smoke-gray windbreaker jacket over it. It is not complicated, layered outfits, and a slightly low-key and stereotyped combination reveals a gentle and bookish atmosphere in its handsomeness. The unique temperament of calm and atmospheric is impressive.

Ouges quickly raised the newspaper and covered his face again. Lanli's voice faintly came from his ears, "I made an appointment with my friend here, Lansmos, have he arrived?"

"Sorry, not yet. You can sit down and wait. If he arrives, I will guide him to find you." The waiter at the counter replied politely.

Ouges caught the sign of Renli turning his head. He hurriedly pulled up the newspaper again, covering his face tightly, fearing that he would reveal his whereabouts. He seemed to be able to feel Renli's scorching gaze being scanned, as if he could burn the newspaper to death in the next second. This made Ouges even more nervous, and his hands holding the newspaper tightened, so that the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.

Ouges knew that he was not a qualified spy agent. At this time, the heart that quickly hits his chest and the blood that burns violently inflamed the skin may reveal his whereabouts at any time. If possible, he would not want to continue hiding, but he really didn't have many choices, right?

Today, Ouges and Renley will meet again to have a final discussion on the performance of "Lobster".

Strictly speaking, the main performance agreement has been discussed. Renley will star in an ultra-low film pay of $300,000, or even lower than Jason Clark, and will not interfere with Ouges's directorial work. Now you only need to complete the final signature, and then the crew can officially start filming. But Ouges still has doubts.

It can be said to be prejudice, stubbornness, or preconceived ideas. In short, Ouges always feels that Renly is not the first candidate for the performance.

People are always like this, just like the first impression. Once they are determined, the future changes will require a lot of work, or even double the work. Either they know that they are unreasonable but still cannot simply change their ideas, or they are trapped in a stalemate and cannot extricate themselves, and then they are led by their obsessions and then lose their rational judgment ability. No matter what, the ending is to refuse to admit their mistakes.

From the beginning, Ouges didn't think that Lanli was an ideal candidate. He even thought that Lanli was a bit "supervailable":

Why should Lan Li raise her hands and feet to show her welcome if she wants to star in her work? Why should Lan Li nod her head in her work? Why should she agree happily if she is willing to lower her pay for her acting?

His will, his ideas, his conception, his settings, does anyone care? He is the director of this movie, isn't he?

It’s not that Ougus hates Renly, he admits that Renly is a very outstanding actor, and may even be one of the best actors in the contemporary era. Previously, Ougus and Renly met once in London and discussed the script and the role. Renly did show his understanding of the role, and triggered his inspiration, allowing him to have a clearer understanding and understanding of the setting and trend of the entire story.

This is a very rare thing; at the same time, Ouges also thanks Renly very much. As a movie lover, they have a lot of common languages.

But the point is that Renli is not necessarily an actor suitable for all roles, nor is he an actor who can match all director styles. This is an undeniable objective fact; another point is that Renli "breaks in" like this, points fingers at his project, and tells him what to do, even if Renli is correct, it is really uncomfortable.

Ougus really doesn't like this situation. What's more, in Ougus's opinion, Renli is not his first choice, or even his top five choice.

Because of these reasons and those reasons, Ougus always had some resistance. Even though Renly had highly cooperated with all the situations and was even willing to play at an ultra-low pay of 300,000 US dollars, showing rare sincerity, Ougus still did not nod immediately.

However, Ouges is not a tough and sharp personality. His personality is even a little shy and introverted. He silently completes his thoughts in a silent and silent manner.

Look, even though he had a lot of dissatisfaction and protests towards Ren Li, he was never able to express his ideas and was led by the nose; at the same time, even though his situation was very passive and embarrassed, and he was even forced to the corner, he still did not give up his persistence.

Although it seems a bit strange to describe it like this, it is indeed the best adjective for Ouges.

Ougus insisted that before formally signing the contract for cooperation, he needed to interview Renli again, exchanging opinions from both people on the role and script.

Neither Andy Rogers nor the British producer of "Lobster" Tessa-ross were suspicious. They just took it for granted that the two "drama-loving" Ouges and Renly might have "a lot of boring and boring professional issues" that need to be communicated, so they nodded without hesitation.

By the way, Tessa Rose is a fixed partner of Sisyphus Films in the UK. The two parties did not sign a formal contract agreement, but only rely on friendship to achieve mutual benefit.

This producer is famous in the UK. She is very familiar with famous directors such as Peter Jackson, Kevin MacDonald, Danny Ball, Ken Roach, Mike Lee, Steve McQueen, etc., and has collaborated many times. The list of works in recent years includes, "127 Hours", "Iron Lady", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Under the Seal", "Twelve Years of Slave", etc., "Carol" that Sisyphus Pictures is filming and producing, and you can also see her name.

The work "Lobster" is Ouges who went to the UK to find investment, went around and came to Tessa Rose, and then she joined forces to contact Sisyphus Pictures, and the project was completed.

Today's meeting was made by Tessa Ross himself to find a private place for Renly and Ougus, and not be disturbed by outsiders; but even she didn't know Ougus's abacus.

Because Ougus didn't tell anyone.

Ougus decided that he needed to test Renli. Only when Renli passed the test can he have in-depth discussions with Renli and finally make a decision.

Ougus knew that this idea was very bold and risky, but he still implemented it without hesitation. Not speaking out does not mean that there is no voice in his heart.

At this moment, Ougus was secretly observing Lanli's every move:

Lanli turned around and looked around the coffee house, which made Ouges raise the newspaper again. After not noticed the movement, she put it down again. Then she could see Lanli sitting in the sofa chair near the window, hanging her coat on the clothes hanger, taking out a book from her backpack, pulling out the bookmark, and starting to read.

read.

read.

Still reading.

Lan Li settled down without rushing and reading quietly, without any impatience or anxiety, nor prepared for the next meeting. It looked like... it seemed like he was waiting for his friend, and even if his friend was late, he didn't care at all.

What should I do next?

In fact, Ougus himself had no idea. He just wanted to test Renli, but he didn't know how to test, nor did he know what results he was expecting. He just felt that... he needed to create a dilemma and then see how Renli solved it. Maybe he would change his point of view.

So, Ouges chose to be late and arrived at the coffee shop an hour earlier, but did not show up, and patiently observed Renli.

The result turned out to be like this. Lanli was enjoying the afternoon without any haste while reading books. Instead, Orgs fell into a sluggish anxiety, observing Lanli at all times, and worried about being exposed at all times, just like an ant on a hot pan, which could not be quiet at all.

Ougus couldn't tell whether this was a test for Renly or his own.
Chapter completed!
