Chapter 396 Arriving in California

"Tony."

At Los Angeles Airport, Lin Juan opened his arms and gave Donny who came to pick him up a hug. He likes to call him Tony more and more now, and the pronunciation is similar anyway...

"I miss you friend." Downey hugged Lin Juan tightly. Lin Juan always had a special place in his heart, but of course, it wasn't that special.

Li Qingyu covered her mouth and smiled, and Tang Ni hugged Lin Juan after noticing her and said, "I understand why you like her."

The two separated, and Lin Juan introduced, "This is my future wife, Li Qingyu."

Li Qingyu stretched out his hand with a smile, and said generously, "Hello Donnie, I like your Iron Man very much."

"Then you should thank your husband well, because Iron Man was shaped by your husband." Tang Ni smiled and held Li Qingyu's hand, and it was easy to touch it. Lin Juan said with a smile: "We should go."

At this time, the people around had already approached, and Downey's popularity was not a cover, so the three of them left the airport together surrounded by crew members. home, and first, Lin Juan and the others had to go to the nearby hotel.

California is close to Hollywood, and has always been a place where there are many film and television dramas, so the hotel where the crew stayed is easy to find.

This is a three-story private hotel. The rooms are very clean. Behind it is a large pasture and grassland. Lin Juan also came here when he filmed "Iron Man" last time. The people are very kind. This time, Lin Juan and the others still come here. You can also order lunch here. The boss's potato brisket is not bad.

When Lin Juan and the others came, the crew members who had already come here to make preparations were already waiting, and they even had a BBQ in their yard with great interest. They lived a beautiful life.

"Director Lin." Liu Kaile ran over, holding a few skewers of roast beef in his hands, and after handing them to Lin Juan, he greeted Li Qingyu and Tang Ni in turn, and shouted at the same time: "Come on, some people help carry the luggage." .”

Hulala came up four or five times, and Lin Juan waved his hand and said, "It's just a few alleys, how can there be so many people, is my room ready?"

"Well, Director Lin, you share a room with Sister Qingyu. Old John said it was a coincidence that we came here. During this period of time, there happened to be a TV drama crew living with him. After we came, we just took up the room and there was no one left. It's free."

"The TV drama crew?" Lin Juan asked after handing two skewers of beef to Li Qingyu and Tang Ni each, his eyes fixed on the skewers, the beef slices skewered with iron skewers were big and plump, with a layer of oil on the top , dyed with chili powder and cumin seeds, it looks too appetizing, take a bite, the surface is a little burnt, but the taste is great.

"Tony, this is awesome." Lin Juan smiled, and Downey nodded in agreement.

"Well, there seems to be more than 30 people in total. It's a small crew." Liu Kai responded, and Lin Juan nodded and didn't care too much. It's normal to meet a crew here.

"Where's Gwen?" Lin Juan asked. Gwen is the actor who plays Pepper, and only the two of them are needed in the early stage of filming. In a few days, Will, Scarlett, and Reiner will all come over.

"Should take a nap in the room." Liu Kai said. It was noon at this time, and the nap was normal. Lin Juan nodded and said to Li Qingyu: "Let's go up and pack our things first, and then we'll see if you want to sleep or come down to follow me." They play together."

"Okay." Li Qingyu nodded, the endless pasture in front of him and the forest behind him made people feel happy unconsciously, and the desire to take pictures aroused.

"Let's go, let's go up." Lin Juan turned to Downey again.

The three of them walked into the hotel, and two field attendants helped drag Li Qingyu's two suitcases in. Lin Juan dragged his own suitcases without anyone helping him. Their room was a standard hotel room with a big bed and a wardrobe. , air-conditioning TV bathroom, no more, but better than clean.

After everyone left, Lin Juan helped Li Qingyu pack his things. According to Lin Juan's idea: "Why don't you take a rest first, isn't it the same to put clothes and so on in the suitcase?"

"What's the matter? It'll be a mess when you use it. It'd be nice to put it in the closet." Li Qingyu didn't think so, so Lin Juan had to help. In fact, this kind of experience was not bad. ... The feeling of two people traveling together, especially through the window, you can see the large pastures outside and the horses, cattle and sheep on the pastures.

The boss is a rich man.

"Speaking of which, we rarely spend so long together like this." Lin Juan sighed, and Li Qingyu said: "It's not that you are too busy, but it will be fine in the future."

"En." Lin Juan nodded with a smile, now Li Qingyu often lives with him, and the two of them are like glue together.

After finishing the work, Lin Juan said to Li Qingyu: "You can take a shower and sleep for a while, and I will call you for dinner later, and we are going to have a banquet tonight."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll talk to Downey about the shooting first." Lin Juan said, and he was going to sleep until night.

"Let's talk less and come to sleep instead of staying up late." Li Qingyu said, Lin Juan looked at the sunny sky outside and smiled wryly, but it was indeed late at night in China.

"Okay, got it, you have a good rest." Lin Juan said, opened the door and walked out, went straight downstairs, found Downey who was chatting with the crew and having a barbecue, Lin Juan patted him and said: " Donnie, let me tell you something."

"Oh, okay, let's go over there and talk." Donnie was bragging to others with two skewers of grilled beef skewers in his hand. The iron plate came to a table in the yard.

"Let's talk about Director Lin, Sun's skills are good." After the two sat down, Downey said. Compared with when Lin Juan first met him, Downey at this time is obviously more confident and calm, and his personality will change due to the situation. Yes, at the very beginning, Downey was afraid of offending people in the film crew, and his humbleness made people feel distressed.

Lin Juan was also polite, grabbed a bunch and ate them, and said while eating, "Tony, I need you to do something for me."

"What's the matter?" Downey frowned in confusion, he didn't think he needed any help from Lin Juan's current achievements and status.

Lin Juan looked around, made sure that no one else would hear him, then moved closer and whispered, "I propose, and I want to create a surprise, and this surprise needs the help of each of you."

"Really? Congratulations, OK, of course there's no problem, what do I need to do?" Downey looked a little more serious.

"I need you to help me shoot some special things. Of course, you must keep it strictly confidential during this process, and Qingyu must not know."

"Shooting what?"

"I will shoot together when the feature film is being filmed. Only you guys will know about it. Others will only think that it is filming a feature film. The specific plot is like this..." Lin Juan began to whisper, whispering to Downey For a long time, the two laughed from time to time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, everyone dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest. Lin Juan, who was going to carry Li Qingyu in his arms, gradually fell asleep after returning to his room. He was woken up by knocking on the door at night. It's time for dinner. A sumptuous opening feast.

Chapter 397 You will be satisfied, Tony

Lin Juan and Li Qingyu looked at each other, and they both didn't want to get out of bed. Adjusting the jet lag is really uncomfortable, but the opening banquet is definitely going, and the best choice is to get up and have a meal first, and then go to bed at night.

"Hi Gwen."

Lin Juan and Lin Juan, who had washed up, ran into Gwen, whom they hadn't seen this afternoon. She was a gentle woman. Lin Juan gave her a gentle hug. Once hugged, they didn't hug each other.

It was already dark outside, and everyone was sitting in the restaurant of the hotel. The restaurant was full of people, and even the wooden floor in the house seemed to be shining under the orange lights, giving it a warm feeling.

As Lin Juan and the others came down, everyone in the restaurant looked over and greeted each other. The table was already full of dishes, including broccoli soup, pancakes, grilled ribs, sandwiches, and pasta made by boss John and the others. , Sarah, fried chicken, etc., as well as a series of Chinese dishes made by the chefs in the crew, which filled the long tables, and Lin Juan felt hungry just looking at them.

There are three tables in total, close to NO.50 people. There are some other crew members in the restaurant. Speaking of which, apart from those big names, it is really difficult to distinguish who is an actor and who is a job. Staff, they don't have any fresh meat, and even actresses don't have to be very beautiful.

However, Lin Juan basically ignored them completely. After sitting down, everyone booed him to say a few words. He really should say something, after all, he is the person with the highest position here, if he doesn't say something, the atmosphere will be depressed, so after thinking about it, he stood up, and there was a burst of applause, the atmosphere was good.

After they quieted down, Lin Juan said with a smile: "This is the first time that we have no company executives present, no investor supervision, no reporters, no advertisers' opening ceremony, and everyone here has at least followed me for one or two crew members. , and some have even filmed with me since my debut."

"In fact, everyone also understands that I am not a person who talks too much. Today's meal is a family banquet, and you all made it yourself. There is nothing to say. Here, I thank you for your hard work over the years. Without you, there would be no world-famous League, I toast to everyone."

As he spoke, Lin Juan poured a glass of beer, and the scene became agitated. Amidst the noise, everyone drank a glass together. Everyone knew Lin Juan's drinking capacity, and he was a non-drinker, so he kept his emotions in his heart.

After drinking a glass, Lin Juan's face was already red, and the effect was immediate. He smelled of alcohol, and with a smile on his face, he said: "The thing I'm most proud of is not that I filmed the League, but that you who filmed with me in the past are all proud of you when you go out." They are big names in the industry, and those who leave my film crew will be the mainstay of the domestic film circle in the future."

He could not believe that these people would do poorly if they went to other crews, and they would definitely play a leading role.

"Okay, let's eat. Have fun tonight. We will start working tomorrow. We will try to finish filming the scenes here as soon as possible and return to China." Lin Juan sat down amidst the cheers and applause of the crowd, and the atmosphere was thorough. Active, Li Qingyu quickly handed him a glass of milk.

She would definitely not stop Lin Juan from drinking on that occasion just now, but she would prepare a glass of milk or warm water.

While Lin Juan was speaking, there was a pair of eyes staring at Lin Juan from other places in the restaurant. The owner of the eyes was a bald man with dark skin. He was an American actor with Arab blood. In America you can always find all kinds of mixed blood, messier than a cocktail.

This man is called Haim. Because of the Arab blood in his body, his face is biased towards the appearance of the Middle East, so even though he graduated from a professional acting school, he can still only play some roles in Hollywood controlled by Jewish forces. Evil and scary villains, playing gangsters in weekly dramas like today, or terrorists in some movies.
