Chapter 56 Star Chasing Middle-aged Mai
Outside Richard Zunjue Studio.
After receiving Lu Qi's call, Solomon, who was initially hesitant, couldn't help but come to the door in person to welcome Lu Qi's triumphant return.
“What a surprise!”
"Anton, my good boy! You are an artist, I know, and this story is also the most artistic one!"
"Although it is simple, cliche, and contains tons of junk content, I believe you will be able to shoot it well like magic."
"Cheer up and work hard!"
After comforting his beloved director, Solomon turned to look at Milton, the second male lead.
Under Lu Qi's raised eyebrows, Milton's body trembled slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and said to the old man:
"Well...Mr. Richard, I just want to say that if we have any misunderstanding, I am...sorry. I..."
Halfway through, Milton seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Qi beside him, paying attention to his expression.
Seeing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but sigh, took over the conversation, and said, "What Milton wants to say is that he is very grateful to you..."
After Lu Qi's reminder, Milton remembered what he wanted to say:
"Yes, I'm very grateful...very grateful for all the opportunities you've given me."
With a panoramic view of all the little moves between the two, Solomon immediately understood.
"Of course, of course, get back to work!"
After waving the two of them back, Solomon turned around, spread his hands with joy on his face, and sighed:
"Wow, Alex, what can I say? You are such an amazing guy and I'm already in love with you!"
After saying that, the old man hugged Lu Qi excitedly.
"You're too polite. This is my duty."
"No, no, I'm serious. Your work is really impressive. Although it's a bit abrupt, there is one thing I want to ask your opinion on."
"you say."
"I don't know if this movie is cursed. Since the beginning of filming, various problems have arisen. Now, I need an assistant producer who can help me deal with these problems. What do you think?
?”
After saying that, Solomon looked closely at Lu Qi with eyes full of expectation.
Obviously, the old man also knew very well that if it weren't for Lu Qi, his movie would probably be difficult to produce.
In order for Lu Qi to escort and complete the film smoothly, it is worth paying for the title of an assistant producer!
Lu Qi was not too surprised by Solomon's proposal.
Compared to Michael's ardent fan, Lu Qi was not interested in Solomon or old Vinewood movies.
However, this is also a way to establish a relationship with Solomon. And isn't this what Lu Qi wants?
Then, Lu Qi smiled slightly, spread his hands and said:
"It's my pleasure."
After nodding with satisfaction and patting Lu Qi's shoulder, Solomon continued: "Very good, let's talk another day. I have to go see the crew..."
After saying goodbye to Solomon, Lu Qi returned to his sports car. He did not start the engine immediately, but took out his mobile phone.
"Hey, Rick, it's me. Help me find someone, an Italian guy named Rocco Pelosi..."
After explaining to the black man, Lu Qi continued to make calls without stopping.
"Lacie, it's me."
"Mr. Richard's problem? Of course it's settled..."
After a brief chat with Lacey, Lu Qi hung up the phone reluctantly.
Just as he was about to put the phone back in his trouser pocket, he suddenly remembered something and muttered to himself:
"By the way, there is him..."
Lu Qi reopened the screen saver on his phone, opened the contact list, and dialed the number of an old movie fan:
"Hey, man, you won't believe it, who did I just meet..."
On the phone, Michael was surprised and excited to learn that Lu Qi had just met his idol Solomon Richard.
Without saying a word, the old man urged Lu Qi on the phone to come to his home and explain it in detail.
Thinking that he hadn't seen Lao Mai for a long time, Lu Qi didn't refuse and drove to Mai Ke's house.
...
Richard Zunjue Studio is not far from Michael's house. It only took ten minutes for Lu Qi to arrive at Michael's house.
Michael, who was wearing shorts and a tennis shirt, had already opened a bottle of whiskey to welcome Lu Qi's arrival.
After walking into the living room and bumping fists with Michael, Lu Qi looked around and asked casually:
"By the way, why are you alone? Where are Amanda, Trish and Jimmy? Going out to eat again?"
Hearing this, Michael's originally cheerful expression suddenly dimmed a lot. He sat down on the sofa slumped, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said:
"Haha, they can't stand my bad temper anymore, so they have all moved out..."
"Damn family..."
Seeing Michael's remorseful and guilty look, Lu Qi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he reached out and patted Michael's shoulder to express comfort.
At this time, Lu Qi discovered that Michael's beard had grown a lot and looked very messy.
Some wrinkles can also be seen vaguely in the clothes on the body.
Judging from these details, Amanda and his two children should have been away for some time.
Although it didn't happen to him, Lu Qi could still understand Michael's mood.
Family is Michael's spiritual sustenance and everything he fights for.
Always.
When your family does not understand you or even abandons you, no matter who you are, you will be at a loss...
Just when Lu Qi was thinking about how to comfort Michael, Michael adjusted himself first:
"Don't talk about those disappointing things, please tell me quickly, how do you know Solomon Richard?!"
Seeing Michael regaining his composure, Lu Qi also forgot about what happened just now and told Michael about today's experience...
At first, Michael was a little surprised to hear that Lu Qi knew Lacey Jonas.
When he heard Solomon proposed that Lu Qi be his assistant, Michael looked completely envious and jealous. He couldn't help but lower his head and murmured to himself:
"Assistant producer...assistant producer...such a good thing, why didn't it be my turn..."
Seeing Michael's distracted look, Lu Qi couldn't help but smile and said:
"If you want, I can introduce you to each other. I think Solomon and you should have a lot in common..."
Hearing this, Michael, a gangster who had robbed banks and caused riots in the IAA, instantly turned into a fanatical star-chaser and looked at Lu Qi expectantly:
"Is it really possible?"
Shrugged, Lu Qi looked indifferent, "Of course, maybe Solomon saw your passion for movies and asked you to be his assistant, maybe..."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Michael stood up suddenly, like a head coach who saw his team scoring a goal in a football match, punched the air twice in a row, and shouted:
"Oh yeah, that would be so cool!"
"Solomon Richard! My idol!"
