"I just said that most of the reporters in the audience today should come here for Langley and Justin; Then Lan Li said, "it's impolite speculation for ladies." Joel recalled the conversation and couldn't help laughing again.
Kerry, sitting on the right side of lanli, leaned up to the microphone and jokingly said, "actually, I don't mind. You can ignore me as much as you like and focus on the gentlemen. I can just be lazy."
Then Justin, sitting on the left side of the Cohen brothers, said, "Hey, if the interview task is assigned according to the weight of the movie, it doesn't seem that it should be like this. Should we have a good communication in private? "
You come and I go to the gag, let everyone laugh up, the press conference has not officially started, the whole hall is filled with a light atmosphere, the warm atmosphere of secretly surging makes the outdoor rain is no longer important; However, when the reporters asked the first question, the atmosphere of joy and lightness suddenly went down——
"Lanli, before the official start of today's press conference, it was rumored that you provided American coffee and towels for all the reporters attending the press conference. In fact, you did it to please the media. Is that true?"
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
There was silence in the whole press conference hall, as if you could clearly see a string of ellipsis flying slowly over your head. No one expected that this was the opening question, and no one expected that the way of asking questions was so superficial and stupid. Even the host was flustered and was completely killed by surprise.
As a client, Lan Li was the most calm and calm one. After adjusting the angle of the microphone, he said, "I never know. This is also a problem."
It's a mockery.
For regular journalists, no one will ask such a question, "in order to please the media", and it's good to talk about such rumors on the Internet. There's no need to ask questions at the press conference, because it's a dead end problem. The person being asked only needs to deny it, and there's no way to continue with the follow-up questions.
In other words, only the new generation of network we media will ask such questions. They think and ask questions in the way of social network discussion, revealing a natural way of thinking; But not only is it unprofessional at all, but also there is no explosive point and attraction to speak of.
Some things seem reasonable on the Internet, but they become absurd when they are separated from the Internet environment.
So that's what Langley said in his opening remarks.
What's more, those traditional journalists are secretly laughing and laughing; However, most of the emerging we media simply do not understand the profound meaning of Lan Li's words. They can not understand why the eyes and smiles swarming over the hall in all directions, including the questioners.
This is the inevitable malpractice after the rapid rise of the Internet age, fast food culture and social network. Everything is a double-edged sword with both advantages and disadvantages. For the rapid rise of personal we media, the most important defect is the loss of interview art. Everything has become simple and rough, lacking in details, profession and interest.
"If my answer is yes, so?" Lan Li didn't plan to answer seriously at all, just said lightly.
Yeah, so?
Actors and public figures please the media, so?
This is not bribery or flattery. It's just a kind and easy move. Everyone can choose whether to accept it or not. So... So?
"... you mean, are you trying to please the media?" The questioner seemed to grasp the handle of Lan Li. After a pause, the whole person began to get excited, so that his voice trembled slightly.
Lan Li still had a smile on his face and looked at him calmly, "and then what?"
It's really a boring question.
Lanli never cared about these critical and disgusting eyes.
If one person decides to hate another person, no matter what the other person does, the result will be the same, but it will aggravate the dislike; And vice versa, if a person decides to like another person, no matter what bad behavior the other person makes, it will not shake the mood.
When one person decides to ignore the other person, then the other person's actions are meaningless.
Lanli didn't plan to please these reporters or defend his reputation. More importantly, in his view, even explanation and entanglement are a waste of time and energy.
A "and then" immediately choked the we media new human who asked the question.
He always felt that he could say something else, such as launching a round of attacks on the moral commanding point. But after all the words turned around, he found that they had no meaning or effect, so he was stuck.
Lan Li did not give each other more time and space, gently jaw head, "the next question."
Sitting in the crowd, Emily and mark almost couldn't help laughing
There are only three sentences in front and back. The seemingly intractable and sharp problems disappear in lanli's hands in a flash. The irony and banter hidden in them are really obvious. They fight back even after they are eliminated. Finally, we can see that the questioner's face is left in the same place and nobody cares.
At this time, the host quickly regained his mind, scanned his eyes quickly, and then ordered a reporter from the British professional film magazine "total film", whose professionalism and authority are beyond doubt.
Sure enough, the reporter lived up to the host's painstaking efforts and defused the stiff atmosphere just now with a clever opening, "Mr. Lan Li, do you have any plans to release the album next time? Can you inform us in advance this time? I think there should be a lot of people willing to buy. "
"Justin Timberlake will be angry." Lan Li's reply made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere became light again in a moment.
Justin sitting next to him also knew that this was a cover type joke, so he did not have a poor mouth, but put his hands on his chest, deliberately made an angry gesture, cooperated with Lan Li's words, but that was enough.
The reporter of "complete film" immediately entered into the formal question.
"First of all, as far as I'm concerned, I really like this work, especially your performance. Here, I would like to ask whether the experience of Don Quixote's album inspired you during the performance? In addition, if you were in the same situation as Levine, what would you choose? I mean, in the last scene of the movie, your eyes are really heartbreaking. It should be the most touching performance after "crazy love."
After saying the question, the reporter also chuckled, "sorry, there are a lot of questions."
This is the real way for professional media to ask questions.
Lenley responded with a smile, "first of all, thank you for your love and support." It can be heard that this reporter also knows a lot about Lan Li's works; Then he formally answered the question, "before I formally answer the question, I can say a little gag, maybe it will help you."
"It was after watching last year's Grammy Awards that Joel and Ethan decided to invite me to play in this work..."
Before Lan Li's words were finished, Joel couldn't wait to get involved in the topic, "correct, source of inspiration. The inspiration of this work is lanli. We watched his performance, and the shock of the "beast" became the source of inspiration for the whole film, and then we listened to the "Don Quixote" album
Once the topic started, it continued, "to be honest, at the beginning, we thought about creating the whole movie with Don Quixote as the original sound, but later we overturned the idea. It was too personal and too real, and it might become a biography of Langley hall. So we thought of Dave van runck... "
Before he knew it, Langley sat quietly beside him, and the one who answered the question became Joel. He told the whole source of inspiration and the process of creation, and revealed the story behind the scenes for the first time in public.
After all the stories were told, Joel responded, "Gee, why did I answer all the questions just now? Lanli, to be honest, you did it on purpose, didn't you? "
Langley shrugged his shoulders, but he didn't smile, which made Joel spread his hands helplessly. "Look, he's Levine Davis."
"Thank you. I'll take it as a compliment. " Lanli responded and then went back to his question. "Obviously, Don Quixote has given me a lot of inspiration. In fact, I have made a choice in real life. I participated in the performance of burying alive and released Don Quixote."
In the dilemma, lanli still chose to insist. That's why we have the present Langley hall.
After lanli and Joel's reply, the atmosphere at the scene has completely recovered, and then another reporter stood up and got the opportunity to ask questions.
"First of all, congratulations." drunken folk song "is a very excellent film. My question is, in terms of subject matter, genre and even story script, this is not a movie full of countless possibilities. Then, why did you choose this work at the beginning? What do you think of the excellent evaluation of the film? "
All eyes were focused on lenley, but lenley politely turned to the Cohen brothers and said, "shouldn't this question be answered by the director? Hey, this is Cannes. I'm not the main character, you are. "
