"... before every performance, I have to read the script repeatedly, worrying about my mistakes in my lines, my incomprehension, and my performance. To be honest, I'm still a little afraid of lanli after he finished his work, because he is a perfectionist and plays against him. There is pressure all the time. "
Sammy is really answering the question.
The press conference went very smoothly. Not only lanli, but also other actors in the crew were given the opportunity to answer questions. However, every question is more or less related to lanli, which is definitely a real superstar treatment. Just like the question thrown to Sammy just now, the reporter is concerned about the state of lanli in the performance process and whether he feels special as an opponent actor. So Sammy came up with the answer.
Before the words were finished, Sami found that the reporters were all giggling. Sammy didn't understand the reason. She was very serious in answering the questions. Why were the reporters so happy? It's true that lanli is meticulous and pursues perfection on the set, but it's a good thing, because she can devote herself to the performance and give a better performance. For a novice like her, lanli is like a mentor, guiding her, and so is Betty. So, what are journalists laughing at?
Sammy was puzzled. He thought that he had said something wrong, but he couldn't find out the reason. So he looked up at lanli and cast a puzzled line of sight. Then he found that the radian of lanli's mouth also rose. "Sammy, for my image, I think that's the end of the problem."
"Ha ha!" All the reporters laughed, and even Marcia and Tony on the stage were very happy.
However, Sammy still did not understand what happened, confused and confused. Looking back at Betty, she found that Betty was also full of question marks. She looked at Lan Li again, and then saw the smiling eyes, which made Sammy feel a little relieved - at least her words were OK.
Aimlessly, Sammy turned his head and looked at the happy scene. Then he named the next reporter who asked questions. He was a middle-aged uncle with curly hair. He couldn't tell whether it was white or lotus colored. He opened the top three buttons at will, and could clearly see large areas of silver gray chest hair, There was a peculiar smell of southern Europe all over his body. When he stood up, he began to mutter a lot.
I cannot understand you.
Sammy was stunned, blinked, and found that he didn't understand a word. First of all, it's not English; Second, she had no idea what language it was. It was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Sammy was so stupid that she even forgot to ask for help and just sat there.
"You should put that headset on." Lanli came over and said in Sammy's ear, with his right hand pointing to the earphone on the table.
Sammy didn't know why, but she just nodded and put on the earphone in a hurry, but there was no sound coming from the earplug. She looked at Lan Li in a puzzled way, and then found that Lan Li's helpless line of sight was in front of her. She also turned her head, and then found that the reporter's question was over and sat down again.
What should we do now?
Langley patted Sammy on the arm and whispered, "don't be nervous. The reporter asked questions in Italian just now. This is a translation machine, but it's not a problem to wear when simultaneous translation is realized. "
It dawned on Sami. On the table, there is a small machine and a pair of earplugs in front of everyone. Sammy doesn't know what it is used for, but lanli doesn't wear it, Tony and other people don't wear it, so she naturally doesn't care. I didn't expect that it was a synchronous translator - I only saw it in the news before, but I didn't expect that I saw it in real life!
"He just asked you what he thought when he got the part? Because this is a special role, has the family ever expressed concern? " Then Lan Li's words came and re stated the topic.
Sammy's eyes widened, and the answer immediately came to his mind, "this is Langley hall! I mean, Langley hall I started to scream in my mind, but the next second, Sammy realized that the idea was directly out of the shackles of his brain, and his voice even trembled with excitement. "It's absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cooperate with Langley. Before receiving the notice, I just finished watching 'speed and passion 5'. I mean, he's really a charming actor. So, excitement and nervousness, that's my only idea
The question wasn't answered completely, but Sami didn't notice. When young people face reporters, they don't plan their own answers, and they don't deliberately flatter and flatter them. They just say what they think of and blurt out their words uncontrollably.
All the reporters cast their eyes at Lan Li, and he couldn't help laughing, "so, this is just compensation, to avoid my revenge?"
Sammy still didn't understand a mindless remark, but the reporters immediately responded. Just now, Sammy said that lanli was very strict and even frightening on the set, so lanli deliberately and half jokingly stopped Sammy from going on. Now it's another joke. Then, the scene collective chuckled.
At this time, the reporter who asked the question just now stood up again, looked left and right, looked for the staff, and then continued to speak in Italian.
For a moment, the staff at the scene were confused and hesitated to know what to do. Lan Li was dumbfounded and then offered a helping hand. "There seems to be something wrong with this reporter's synchronous translator, so he can't understand the conversation just now. He needs a little help."
Tony, sitting next to him, turned his head and said in surprise, "I didn't know you could speak Italian."
Lanli opened his mouth slightly and chuckled. "It's very simple. I'm British, and Britain is part of Europe; And you're American, so there's nothing to be surprised about. " In an instant, there was a lot of laughter, including Tony.
This is the language stem.
Americans can be said to be one of the most "not enterprising" groups in the world. They only speak English. Even Spanish, which was compulsory in high school, is extremely poor. Any language other than English is written by heaven for them. This is an overall trend, and it is true for most Americans.
Correspondingly, Europeans can skillfully use many languages. In addition to their own mother tongue and the most basic English, most European residents speak four to five languages or more. The overall trend is that the residents in the north, such as northern Europe and Germany, are more severe; And the worse for people in Vietnam, such as Spain and Italy.
With a simple remark just now, Langley made fun of both the United States and Europe. The European journalists on the scene understood every second, so they burst into laughter.
"How many languages do you know?" A reporter raised his voice to ask, did not stand up to ask questions, there is no formal questions, just a casual curiosity to ask a lacy gossip.
Lan Li pursed the corner of his mouth. "If it's just to say hello, then I think I can say more than ten or twenty." The light witty reply made the laughter sound again. Then Lan Li saw a man raise his right hand high, even standing up without waiting for roll call. Lan Li nodded and joked, "this reporter? I hope I can understand your question. "
The reporter was also a quick thinker. Instead of asking questions in English, he chose his native language by pushing the boat. "After the question, he said in English again," can you answer me? "
All the reporters' eyes fell on Lan Li, and then they saw Lan Li shrug with a smile, "yes, I've watched a lot of Chinese movies; Yes, I know director Wang Quanan. I've watched Tuya's marriage, and its image is quite powerful. "
chinese?
The reporter who stood up just now, who came from China, raised the question with a typical Beijing film.
In 2006, "Tuya's marriage" won the Golden Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival, which made director Wang Quanan appear in the public's eyes; In 2010, it was also Wang Quan'an's work, "Reunion", which once again won the Silver Bear Award for best screenplay in Berlin. This year, the director came to Berlin with "White Deer Plain" and received a lot of attention. So, naturally, the problem revolves around the director.
But more unexpectedly, first Italian, then Chinese, inadvertently, the inside information displayed by lanli really brightened people's eyes.
Everyone says that the British Academy actors have a deep foundation, not only the basic skills of the Expressionists are solid, but also the literary foundation is extraordinarily brilliant. But this kind of erudition is invisible and intangible, and people never have an intuitive understanding. What does it mean? Can Shakespeare's lines come at hand? Or are you full of world famous books?
Today, people finally get a glimpse of it. It's not the language, but the effort and precipitation behind the language. Does this mean that Langley can watch Italian opera? You know, the best opera in the world is always sung in Italy; Does this still mean that lanli has a preliminary understanding of China's rich history and profound culture? As the four ancient civilizations, China's culture and history are absolutely eye-catching.
Language is just a window. What matters is the scenery you can see through the window.
In a flash, the eyes of all the reporters on the scene became meaningful: the 22-year-old actor, like a treasure, was waiting for constant excavation! In Europe, where art flourishes, actors like Langley are what they are eager to see!
