The Greatest Showman

Lan Li walked to the fourteenth table with a smile on his face, and blurted out his familiar words conditionedly, "Good evening..." But he saw Tom and Steven in front of him—just three hours ago, just in the theater. The old face I met, such a coincidence, was too unexpected. It caused Lan Li's words to pause slightly, and there was a hint of playfulness and surreptitiousness in the smile, and the question mark appeared in his head, but the words were still habitually finished. "Can I help you?"

Steven looked down at the menu, and Tom was smiling and saying, "The food here is not the most famous. Didn't it make it clear when Woody recommended it?" The intimate and casual attitude did not reveal the audition just now. In the process, the two people had a fierce dispute.

Hearing the voice of the waiter saying hello, Tom raised his head and opened his mouth, but the words that were about to come out stopped at his mouth. Obviously, he did not expect such an unexpected encounter. For a moment, Tom didn't know what to say, and before he could speak, his smile rose greatly.

"A creamy truffle pasta...and..." Steven didn't notice Tom's momentary pause. He looked up from the menu and started ordering. Then he also saw the Lan Li standing in front of him. The post of the meal disappeared, "Why are you here?" Steven asked conditioned reflex, his face sank, and his brows entangled tightly. "You must know that your behavior is right. There is no benefit to auditioning, not to mention that tracking has never been an act worth encouraging."

Tracking?

With Steven’s pivotal position in the industry, he has naturally seen countless big scenes, and it is not uncommon to be followed by fans. It is common for auditioning actors to do everything in order to get the role, so he did not panic, but made the menu heavily. He threw it on the table and yelled at him.

Lan Li smiled without anger and put the menu in his apron again, "Mr. Spielberg, I think you have misunderstood, this is where I work. If you have any dissatisfaction with my service , Please complain to my direct supervisor." The tone of neither humble nor arrogant tone brought out a hint of sarcasm, especially when the two sides were standing on one side and sitting on the other. The condescending situation brought Lan Li's height advantage to the fullest.

Looking at Steven's gradually stiff facial expression, Lan Li pointed to the direction of the bar behind him, and said politely, "Should I inform the manager?"

"Puff." Tom didn't give Steven any face, and he laughed directly, breaking the short deadlock, and then patted Steven on the shoulder vigorously, just not knowing whether the action was comforting or ridiculing. "No, no need." Tom waved his hand at Lanly and denied his proposal. "We just want to find a place to have dinner. Woody Allen recommended this bar. He said that there is one every night. Different styles of performances?"

Steven, who was sitting next to him, looked a little ugly. Having been in Hollywood for more than two decades, Steven is now one of the top giants. He has long been accustomed to being in a position to give orders. Just now seeing Lan Li’s first reaction, he naturally thought of this afternoon’s audition-and it still triggered it. The audition of the dispute between him and Tom, but unexpectedly, he had an oolong. This is embarrassing.

However, Lanly did not continue to pay attention to Steven, but turned to look at Tom, and proficiently introduced, "Tonight is a folk song performance, Jason Majes will bring a 30-minute performance. In addition, a local independent folk singer in Harlan district will bring the opening warm-up performance. The performance also..." Lan Li looked back at the clock on the stage, "Twenty-five minutes will begin."

"Wow, that sounds great." Tom didn't care about Steven at all, and sighed to himself. "So, what do you recommend for dinner? I know that in the bars and restaurants of Greenwich Village, there are always It is possible to find countless delicacies, but for us outsiders, we don’t know anything."

Tom’s humor seems to be running on Steven all the time. Renly’s eyes can even see Steven’s face like the bottom of a pot. He glares at Tom, but Tom doesn’t buy it at all, which is quite happy. sense.

"It depends on your preference." Lan Li pretended not to see anything, and continued, "If you want to watch the show intently, I would recommend some simple food, such as the submarine made by our chef Jack. Sandwiches, this is the best in New York, paired with some French fries and Munich dark beer, this evening will be very beautiful."

Lan Li’s brisk and vivid introduction gave Tom a satisfied smile, but Steven sat next to him with a stiff face, "But if you don’t mind eating and watching the show, then the creamy truffle pasta is a good choice. , When I went to work today, I heard that our scheduled French black truffles arrived in the morning.” Steven looked up, and then saw Lan Li’s polite and gentle smile. Obviously, these words were addressed to him—

This embarrassed Steven. He is a bigwig in the industry, but he has a small belly and cares about everything, and he can't even compare to a fledgling rookie actor.

“Besides, today’s chef’s recommendation is braised lamb chops with red wine. Jack told me that he feels very good today.” Lan Li’s brisk introduction made people smile, and at the same time moved his index finger. .

Tom chuckled lightly, "Steven, what do you think?"

At this time, Steven also gradually returned to normal. After all, he was old enough, "Please give me a creamy truffle pasta." There was a little more politeness and respect in the words, which can be regarded as an indirect expression of apology to Lan Li.

"Then I will braise lamb chops with red wine." Tom made a decision immediately and passed the menu on the table to Lan Li, "Also, please choose a bottle of red wine to match, thank you." See Lan Li Wei Wei paused for a moment, and Tom added another explanation, "We believe in your choice. After all, your introduction just now determines our dinner menu."

Lan bowed slightly politely, "I'll go through the professional reference book." This humor made Tom smile heartily, and even the corners of Steven's mouth could not help but loosen slightly.

After a while, Lan Li brought up the red wine, and he took the lead in handing the red wine bottle to Steven.

Steven took a close look at the label of the red wine, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Unexpectedly, the choice of Lan Li made people's eyes bright-Barolo, which is a red wine from Italy and is called by many people. Italy’s greatest red wine, because of its strong tannins, Barolo needs to be accompanied by the same amount of food, especially heavy-tasted meat and pasta. Alcohol and food will complement each other, which is a match made in heaven.

Generally speaking, in high-end restaurants, the choice of wine is the most important part of a person's quality. The higher the society, the more important it is. Different occasions, different dishes, different objects, and different atmospheres will have different choices. The bottle of red wine selected by Lanli is moderately priced, suitable for use, and impeccable.

This really made Steven admire Lan Li.

Tom leaned over and examined it carefully, his eyes also showed a light of appreciation, he raised his head and looked at Lan Li, "Excellent choice."

Lanli feels nothing. In this life, from childhood to most of his life, he has been educated by noble elites, and red wine is only the most basic link. Choosing red wine is not difficult for him. However, Lan Li accepted the compliment and closed his jaw with a smile, "I hope you like it."

Then, Lan Li took the red wine again, opened the cork at the scene, waited for Steven to taste it, and nodded to confirm, after he filled the two guests with red wine, he turned and left.

Watching the back of Lan Li's departure, Steven thoughtfully. Because of the role of Eugene, he was born in the middle class, or even the elite class. This elegance that settles in his bones is a very important part of the role. In contrast, Joseph lacks this temperament. .

Turning his head, Steven saw Tom’s triumphant smile, "Now? What do you think now?" The words mean: How about Lan Lilai as Eugene?

Steven rolled his eyes, and read www.uukanshu. com "I still stick to my original point of view. Who knows if the bartender helped him pick this bottle of red wine." Tom also knew that Steven was arguing, not only in the red wine, but also in the whole process of the blue ceremony. Professionalism and calmness are irreplaceable, but Tom wisely didn't continue to push him, shrugging his shoulders passed.

Picking up the red wine glass in his hand, Steven could not help taking a sip again. It must be admitted that after the busy work, a little alcohol really relaxes a lot.

The night is getting deeper and the attendance rate of Pioneer Village has reached 90% in a blink of an eye. This is really rare for Thursday night.

The famous live performance of this bar is indeed well-deserved. It is not a casual bar resident singer who will perform on stage, but a real music lover. The professionalism of the performance is even better than those of tens of thousands of concerts. , Even the warm-up performance also caused a lot of applause on the scene, no wonder even a famous singer like Jason is willing to come to perform.

The atmosphere of the bar scene is getting hotter and hotter, and the audience is immersed in the performance fascinatingly. With the advancing of time, people are more and more looking forward to Jason's appearance. The night changes gradually with the advancing of time. It's going to be gorgeous.

But at this time, the backstage of the bar was messed up. Lan Li put the beer glass he had just received into the cleaning pool, and there was a rush of shouts in his ears, "Help..." I turned my head and saw Nepal. Er’s sweaty anxious expression, "Len Li, help, where have you been, we are looking for you in every corner of the bar." But before Lan Li answered, Neil dragged Lan Li out. Continue to exclaim, "Help, we need you! I mean, now, now, right now!"
