Lisco's American Life

Coincidentally, just after Liske hung up the phone, Zhang Li woke up from her sleep. She picked up her phone and checked the time. It was already around ten o'clock, and it was almost time to get up.

when.

Otherwise, what he will face later is Li Feng's unique method of shouting with a loud voice. Thinking of this scene, Zhang Li couldn't help but shudder, and his speed of action also accelerated a lot.

After taking care of her personal hygiene and walking out of the bathroom, Zhang Li changed her clothes and chose clothes from her wardrobe that were suitable for home. The main style was comfortable and spacious, which also made it easier for her to move her body.

.

Yawning, she sat in front of the dressing table and did not dress. She was worried that makeup would harm the baby in her body, so she had kept her face bare since the day she was found to be pregnant.

Intentionally reduce the number of times you put on makeup.

What's more, I have been at home these days and have no need to go out, so I don't care much about my appearance.

I took out my mobile phone, looked through the address book, and when I saw the familiar name, I dialed it with a smile on my face.

"Dudududu~"

It was another long waiting time. Zhang Li didn't feel too anxious. Instead, he put the phone aside and methodically raised his hair in front of the mirror, straightened out the frayed hairs with a comb, and then

Smiling at yourself in the mirror.

"Hello? I'm Mengji."

Yes, the other end of the phone was director Christiane Mongiu. After Zhang Li made the decision last night, he felt that the problem that troubled him had been solved, and he slept extremely comfortably after returning home.

After getting up, the first thing that came to my mind was this, so I planned to tell the director in advance that I would not be able to attend the film festival in person because I had other things to do, and then the crew needed to prepare in advance.

"Director, my name is Zhang Li, hello."

Zhang Li coughed on purpose. Every morning when he got up, his voice would always be deformed or even weak because his throat was dry. This is what most people will encounter, so there are many people who do it on purpose.

I'm ready, but when I open my mouth, people will still hear that I just woke up, that's why.

Zhang Li was no exception. Hearing her voice, Christian Menghi felt a little helpless. He had just hung up the phone to Liske, but the real person called him. It was a seamless connection. If not

For what Lisko had arranged before, he really thought that these two people were sitting together and calling him one by one now.

"Hello, Ms. Zhang Li, I'm Christiane Mongiu. What's the matter with calling me? By the way, our crew will leave the day after tomorrow. You need to be in Cannes with the crew the day after tomorrow.

Let’s get together and prepare some preparations together.”

Although she already knew Zhang Li's intention of calling, in order to ensure that there were no flaws in Lisko's arrangement, Christian Menghi still pretended that she did not know about the matter and asked as usual.

There is a reason why his tone of voice when talking to Zhang Li was completely different from Liske before. After all, as a crew director, the person with the most power in the crew, in order to maintain his authority, he naturally cannot express himself.

Too flattering.

Otherwise, how could he convince the mixed crew of people at that time? Due to management reasons, every day the crew was delayed was burning money, so he naturally respected Zhang Li, one of the crew members, with a little authority.

The other party didn't seem to have anything he needed to curry favor with.

Foreigners always keep these things very separate. Work is work, and power is power. Before Zhang Li joined the team, he called Li Sco to complain about this matter, and Zhang Li had no intention of refuting it.

"Mr. Director, I'm really sorry."

There was a touch of embarrassment on Zhang Li's face. In her opinion, everyone in the crew is a collective, and her current choice is undoubtedly to run away. It is a bit unfair to the crew, and the subsequent sales of the film

, it also requires the cooperation of these actors to successfully sell this work at the film festival, which is also the responsibility specified in the contract.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The director came over the phone with a doubtful tone. No matter how Zhang Li thought, he would never have imagined that the other party had already known everything about this matter.

"That's it. Due to physical reasons, I may not be able to attend this film festival with the crew. I am very sorry for the harm I have caused to everyone."

Zhang Li still looked apologetic, truly feeling helpless and guilty for his actions.

Once a work begins to be filmed, it no longer belongs solely to the director and production company, but to the fruits of the joint efforts of all crew members. Everyone wants to get their own needs from this work, such as awards, such as

Public recognition.

And her behavior was bound to have an impact on the crew. Thinking of this, she apologized again.

"Is this serious? How are you lately?"

Christian Mongiu first pretended to be helpless, and at the same time asked about Zhang Li's situation thoughtfully, taking this opportunity to brush up on the other party's favorability. The power of the pillow style should not be underestimated.

of.

"It's okay. I'm just sorry for causing trouble to everyone. Last time you said that we might have a chance to win the heroine award. I can only withdraw with regret. Thank you very much, Mr. Director, for your appreciation. I hope we can win the award in the future."

If given the chance, we can cooperate again.”

After listening to Zhang Li's words, Christian Menghi immediately screamed in his heart that he might have acted too hard. If Zhang Li withdraws from this selection, wouldn't what Lisko explained be the same?

Is there no way to deal with it?

Thinking of this, he quickly spoke to save him.

"In this way, Ms. Zhang Li, I can be considered a regular visitor to Cannes. In the history of the film festival, this is not an example of a heroine winning an award without coming. You should follow my advice and not withdraw from the selection. As for the judges' thoughts

, then it doesn’t matter, after all, two people participating in the selection will have a higher chance than one person participating in the selection."

"Furthermore, if the party to whom the film is purchased learns that both of our heroines have been shortlisted for the selection, then the price can also increase. What do you think?"

After saying this, the director gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. He was really too hasty to get wise. If he said this, the other party would definitely be embarrassed to withdraw from the selection, and the next thing would be much easier to handle.
