Chapter 1546

"It's like going home."

Lan Li said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity, but all the reporters and staff on the scene just think that Lan Li is making polite remarks.

This is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Reporters exchanged a tacit understanding of the full line of sight, as if to say: the original famous lanli hall is still in Rome, can't help but start to use this old-fashioned way to get close to the local audience, it seems that he is not so far away from the rumor?

At the same time, the host also calmed down a little, the familiar polite scene words returned to his usual track, the expression also restored calm again, grasped the scene situation again, made an invitation gesture, motioned to let Lan Li sit on the blue gray sofa behind him.

After that, Yu Guang gives a sign to the simultaneous interpreter, waiting for the interpreter to sit down behind Lan Li, then the host completely finds his own security field.

"Welcome to Mordor." After a simple polite greeting, the host started today's premiere press conference with an interview, "I heard that you know Chinese culture very well and speak fluent Chinese, but just after we really saw it, we still felt surprised. Your pronunciation is very standard and your meaning is very clear. You can see that you are not just being polite. So, how do you feel when you arrive at Mordor for the first time? "

"Ha ha." Lan Li chuckled. "Thank you for your praise."

This feeling is extremely strange, and what is taken for granted has become a highly praised skill; In particular, the translator at the back of the body is still dutifully repeating the host's words in English, and the situation becomes more and more delicate, which makes Lan Li's eyes show a shallow smile.

Lanli decided to play his own role and avoid more shocking. He replied in English, "to be honest, I don't have time to go to the streets of the city, so I can't make more comments. But it's a very charming city. Besides, it's also a very enthusiastic city, I had a deep understanding when I arrived at the airport. "

"As for more feelings, I think I can only wait until I have tasted the snacks here." Lan Li restrained his humor and answered dutifully. Maybe in this way, the interview of the press conference will be more smooth.

"Of course! Of course The host nodded repeatedly, with a surprise expression on his face. "We all saw the relevant news on Weibo. The airport pick-up team is really spectacular. Do you have any feelings about it?"

How do you feel about so and so.

This is almost the standard configuration of the premiere press conference, especially in the overseas publicity process after leaving North America. The interviewees always need to express praise and exclamation in various ways to please the local audience. It's a fixed process, but it's a bit tedious.

"Scared. I have to admit that when I saw such a large number of people, my first reaction was to be frightened. On the way from the airport to the hotel, my agent Andy and I also discussed it Lan Li's unexpected answer made a little surprise, and then he talked about it with interest, with a trace of exploration in his eyes.

Before the end of the speech, he continued, "so far, I have only one film on the mainland, and it is not starred by me. I think Paul Walker or van diesel should have more fans here, but obviously, today's fans have given me a huge surprise, which is really rare."

Because of lanli's relaxed and cheerful way of answering, the atmosphere on the scene has become a little harmonious. It seems that everyone is adapting to today's occasion: what kind of feeling is it like for the superstar to attend the news conference? And how should media reporters grasp the discretion of the interview?

The host replied in a circuitous way, "audiences in the mainland have watched your works in other ways. We are trying to keep up with the times; At the same time, for your performance and your talent also have a lot of deep understanding. It can be said that there is a huge group in the mainland now, and they all like you very much. "

resources.

Lan Li had the corresponding words in his mind. How could he forget it. Although the works that mainland cinema can enjoy are really limited, the development and convenience of the Internet era allow the audience to enjoy all the film works of the world and the whole film history without leaving home.

After reaction, Lan Li closed his jaw with great significance, "I see. I think this is a positive thing. Compared with publicity, I'm still more used to using works to communicate. The audience can always get a glimpse of my feelings and experience as an actor in the film works. I should be a better way to communicate. "

"Is gravity the same this time?" The host finally cut into the topic at the right time.

Then, the press conference returned to the normal process, and Langley began to discuss the film, talking about the interesting news of "gravity", the reverberation of the film in North America, and the different role performances; Then he talked about more works, such as "drunken folk songs" and "tomorrow's edge", including the feeling that he won egot when he was so young.

Because the time of the press conference is limited, there is not much in-depth discussion in the whole conversation. We just picked out some of the most popular topics and chatted a little bit, so that the audience can have a more comprehensive and relatively simple understanding of Lan Li. After all, this is only the first time that Lan Li has come to the magic capital for publicity——

Now most of the craze may be just to join in the fun, only a small part of the audience can really understand Langley. Now is an opportunity.

Such chatting is not difficult for Lan Li. It's like a simple review. It doesn't need in-depth analysis. It's just a recollection.

The first stage of the press conference ended easily, and then entered the second stage. The live media reporters finally waited for the time to play.

"Lanli, I heard when I was at the Berlin Film Festival that you know a lot about Chinese movies. Have you ever watched Chinese movies in recent years, and do you know anything about them?"

"Unfortunately, in recent years, because of my work, I hardly have time to watch movies. It's not just Chinese movies, but on the whole, the viewing time of all movies is getting shorter. " "Now, if I have time, I'm more inclined to read or do outdoor sports. Instead, I'm consciously alienating from movies and keeping creative energy," he said

"What about the old movies? What about the most impressive Chinese language films and Chinese directors you have now? "

"Infernal Affairs", "in the mood for love", "Farewell My Concubine"... These works have left a deep impression on people; I can still clearly remember Mr. Yang Dechang's "youth murder in Guling Street". During the nearly four hours of watching the film, I feel no suffering and pain, but a pure enjoyment. For the script, for the lens, for the atmosphere, the film reveals the great power is undoubtedly one of the biggest charm of the film

Without any hesitation, Lan Li said the answer directly, and could feel it clearly between the lines. This is definitely the sentiment that can be obtained after having a deep understanding and precipitation of Chinese movies. The only pity is that the time of these films is relatively far away, and the modern part is an important lack.

As for Chinese directors, Ang Lee and I are familiar friends. We have met on different occasions. I still love the Brokeback Mountain directed by him very much. The Oriental emotion is delicate and restrained, but long and profound. "

With lanli's answer, the next question follows, "well, if you have the opportunity to cooperate, would you like to?"

"Cooperation?" "You mean to shoot Chinese movies? Or with Chinese directors? " Before waiting for the reporter's reply, Lan Li said with a smile, "if it's a Chinese movie, it's a pity. I don't think my Chinese is good enough to participate in it; If it's a Chinese director who was in Cannes in the first half of the year, Li and I also discussed the possibility of cooperation, but we still need to see the schedule. "

This is the expected problem; But Langley did not choose to be outspoken.

To be honest, the Chinese language film making industry is on the decline. It began to decline all the way after the millennium. Now it is far behind its East Asian neighbors, Japan and South Korea. Although the box office performance has been improving by leaps and bounds, the quality of its works is hard to praise; As for CO productions, it's even worse.

The 1980s and 1990s, which belong to the peak period of Chinese movies, are gone forever.

Lenley didn't have any interest.

But in the end, he didn't tell the truth. Instead, he used Chinese as an excuse. As a layman in the mainland film industry, Lan Li also knows that the specific reasons for the decline of the whole film industry are very complicated and can not be generalized. He has no intention and can not become the Savior. It is enough to maintain objective independence.

However, it is obvious that the media reporters do not think so. They are all confident. The first question did not get a positive response, and then came the second one, "so if a film company invites you to play in English and join in the performance of Chinese movies, are you willing to nod your head?"

"I think there are still many outstanding Chinese actors active now. Instead of finding a foreigner to play in Chinese movies, it's better to choose outstanding Chinese actors?" With a smile on his face, lanli's words reveal a sense of weight and baptism. He really has no interest in Chinese movies“ I don't think I'm the best choice. "

After a short pause, Langley continued to tease, "or do you mean I'll play the vase?"
