Chapter 177

"Well, I'd better start with the basic information. What kind of person are you?"

When he heard Gavin's first formal question, he couldn't help smiling, but instead of directly refuting it, he thought seriously, "it's a philosophical question, and I'm still exploring who I am and where I should go..."

Gavin immediately realized that there was something wrong with his way of asking questions. Lanli's words made him laugh. Looking at the narrow light of lanli's eyes, Gavin felt that his back began to sweat again. "I mean, at present, people know too little about you. No matter it's the actors' Union or IMDB, there's very little information about you, I think, We can at least get some basic information. "

"Basic information?" Lan Li's epilogue rose slightly, some did not quite understand the meaning of this problem.

Gavin further explained, "now on the Internet, except for your height, weight and birthday, other information is blank..."

Lan Li showed an interesting look. "I thought that was enough. Do you need any special information for actors? I think our work is the best business card. "

Gavin couldn't help but be stunned. He was embarrassed for a moment. He was a reporter of "American weekly", or he was used to doing interviews in the way of gossip. Exploring privacy was their style. Now that lanli suddenly came back with such an open and aboveboard attack, he was a bit unprepared. Fortunately, he was well prepared, and he soon calmed down.

"That's what I mean. We don't have any information about your work, including your past experience. Of course, there are more details. For example, we all know that you are British, but where is your hometown? Do you come from different nationalities? Your childhood experience, your growing up experience, your hair color, pupil color and so on

Listening to Gavin's question, Langley began to laugh, a little ridiculous and a little funny. "You mean, someone really cares about these details? I think that the United States is a country of immigrants, and Hollywood embraces actors from all over the world. No one cares about these trivial things. What's more, I'm an actor, not a rugby player. "

Gavin could feel the irony in Langley's words, but he didn't panic. "Don't you know? Recently, you have really created a lot of miracles. The discussion about you in the Yahoo community has never stopped; However, so far, there is too little information about you. All the netizens are enthusiastically expressing their views. All the issues I just mentioned are topics for people to discuss. "

Lan Li pursed her mouth and nodded slightly, but she didn't plan to answer. In lanli's opinion, the detailed information is not important at all. He has no intention of becoming a model.

After Gavin finished his long speech, the room suddenly fell into silence, which made Gavin more nervous. He subconsciously wiped his hand sweat, looked down at the list of questions he had prepared, "so if you participate in an audition, how would you introduce yourself?"

"Good morning. My name is Langley hall. I'm 20 years old. My audition role today is Paul Conroy. I've prepared a performance. Can I start now?"

After listening to Lan Li's answer, Gavin choked and was blocked up. There is nothing wrong with this self introduction. Instead, he doesn't know how to answer. Then Gavin saw the smile on the corner of lanli's mouth, and he chuckled. Obviously, if we continue with the original interview method, today's interview time will be wasted.

After thinking about it, Gavin simply put the list of questions back on the table and completely gave up the original plan. "From the 'Pacific War' to 'buried alive', people gave you a lot of praise for your performance. Many people speculated that you are an actor with traditional academic background. Is that so?"

The interview finally raised a standard question, "yes, I graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and received a complete two-year college education." Instead of responding modestly to Gavin's praise, Langley replied frankly and confidently, "during my study in college, I practiced in the west end of London for about half a year. After graduation, I came to New York and explored on Broadway for a while until I got the chance to perform in the Pacific War. So, yes, I do have a traditional academic background. "

"The west end? Off Broadway? It's rare for a young man like you to be able to calm down and get involved in a stage play. " Gavin was surprised.

As we all know, most British actors will polish themselves constantly in stage plays, but many young actors will be confused by the flowers and applause of vanity fair when they come to Hollywood. It's interesting that Langley chose New York over Los Angeles.

"At the beginning, it was the performance task of the college, but it was very special to stand on the stage and perform. Before you know it, you will be integrated with the role and really feel the charm of the performance." With a look of great interest on his face, it can be seen that when he mentioned the performance, his eyes were shining with excitement. "After the shooting of the 'Pacific War', I returned to New York and once again devoted myself to the performance on off Broadway. I had a very full life."

"From the 'Pacific War' to the 'buried alive', there is more than half a year's gap between them. Are you performing on Broadway?" Gavin showed a surprise expression, which was the real accident. After all, in the "Pacific War", Langley had cooperated with the top brands. After the shooting, he could still keep an ordinary mind and return to Broadway - and it was not Broadway, which really made people look at him with new eyes. "So, what's the name of the play? Do you have any famous works? "

"No, no, No." Lanli showed a brilliant smile and shook his head, looking very relaxed. "The plays I participated in were all experimental works, one of which was made by Columbia University students. Let alone the name, I couldn't even find the relevant information on the Internet."

No wonder. This explains the reason, mobilized all netizens are not able to dig out more information.

"What I remember most is the performance in a half basement." Lan Li's expression showed a look of thinking, and the relaxed corners of his mouth rose involuntarily. "There can only be 30 people there at most. On the day of the performance, there were only a dozen people in the audience, but the play mobilized 23 people. That is to say, we even have more actors than the audience. Later, actors without performing tasks all sat down on the stage, pretended to be the audience and clapped together. "

Lanli himself couldn't help smiling, but Gavin showed a look of amazement, "but that kind of performance experience is really special. Because these audiences are not high-level intellectuals on Broadway, they are just pure drama lovers - or bored audiences who pass the time, so their reactions are very direct, and their emotions can often be felt in the process of performance... Ha ha. " Lanli couldn't help laughing, which made Gavin show a puzzled expression. "In the end, I just walked off the stage and invited the audience to join us. The performance that day was really interesting."

Gavin was really stunned. On the surface, Langley was a gentleman who followed the rules, and even had the traditional British style of abstinence; It can't be connected with things like off Broadway and underground theater with civilian temperament. But if you think about it carefully, there is a huge difference between the two roles so far, which can not only see the ambition of lanli as an actor, but also the momentum of lanli to challenge the limit.

"I can't imagine that, but I can imagine your joy and happiness." Gavin couldn't help exclaiming, "so you're not very used to this period of time, are you? All of a sudden, all the magnesium lights are aimed at you overnight, which is obviously a great change from the previous life. "

"In fact, I didn't really feel that much before Toronto." "I can still go on the street normally, and I can go anywhere freely. Occasionally, some audiences can recognize me, but they can't name me. So, on the whole, I feel fine. "

Looking at lanli's calm face, Gavin shrugged, "I don't know about the rest, but for the media, everyone is very busy. Now in the hotel corridor, there are at least 30 journalists waiting to interview you. I'm the first one today. "

"I guess the Emmy may still have some weight." Lanli's teasing made Gavin laugh directly, and the next question came out.

"Since winning the Emmy Award, you have been the focus of discussion continuously. Some people on the Internet even doubt whether you have a deep background in the performing arts circle, just like Emma Roberts." Gavin finally asked about his first gossip, which made him think of his first interview after becoming a reporter, green and excited.

"Ha ha." This is lanli's first reaction. After thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing twice again. "I've been crossing my fingers and praying for the coming of this day, but obviously, I lack a little luck."

"But after the Emmy, why did you choose to perform in the street? It's really surprising. Many people think that it was shot in advance. " Gavin's questions began to become sharp, and gradually showed the edge.

"If they want to think that way, it's their freedom." Lan Li unexpectedly did not explain, but shrugged his shoulders calmly, "although I don't know, shooting a street performance video, and then uploading it to the tubing, what's the help for my career as an actor; But... It's my honor to be able to entertain netizens. "

Gavin was baffled by Langley's dignified posture. He thought about it and asked aggressively, "so you mean your family really has no acting background?"

"If so, what should it be?" Without any evasion, Langley asked back directly, and Gavin choked.
