The constant entanglement of journalists is really irritating.
In fact, Lan Li didn't quite understand the necessity of such a polite scene. In the face of such a type of question, he could answer "very happy", and then both the guests were happy; But everyone knows that if there is a Chinese film invitation, nine out of ten will be rejected. What is the significance of these problems?
Just for the joy and pride of this moment?
As a result, there was no politeness or circuitousness. Lanli chose a relatively direct and sharp way to respond. The reporters at the scene couldn't help looking at each other. The atmosphere of the whole audience was a little embarrassed in a twinkling of an eye. Then, lanli made a little joke in a relaxed tone, "or do you mean I play the vase?"
Although it didn't make the whole audience laugh, the tense and solidified atmosphere was relieved.
From the meeting to now, lanli's performance has always been elegant, not to mention big brand style, even can be said to be approachable, looking like a friendly college student; But now just two words, Lan Li has shown his toughness, which makes reporters can't help thinking about it——
In the United States, lanli has always been the most troublesome interviewee for major media reporters. Even those media that can occupy a place in the world can't take advantage of it. So why do the mainland media get special treatment? But if they don't ask questions about Chinese movies, what else can they ask?
Hesitating, another reporter stood up and raised his own question, "Hello, lanli. Not long ago, Wu Yifan said in an interview that he appreciates your performance very much. If he has a chance in the future, he hopes to cooperate with you. Do you have any ideas about this?"
"Who?"
Lan Li's voice was full of doubts. He cast his eyes to the reporter, and the whole audience cast their eyes to the reporter. The huge pressure of attention made him a little confused, but he seriously explained that "... He is a young singer, who made his debut as a group in South Korea. Now he is very popular in the mainland and is preparing to play in a movie."
"Oh. So you mean Justin Bieber? " Lan Li suddenly closed her jaw gently. She was also an idol singer. It seemed that there was no problem with such horizontal analogy.
The reporter faintly noticed that something was wrong, but he couldn't say why. After hesitation, he emphasized, "he is very popular now, and many young female fans like him."
Blue Li showed a proper smile, "Congratulations, congratulations." It's always strange to respond like this. Why do you start congratulating all of a sudden?
But in lanli's view, it is indeed a matter of congratulations that young idols can win high popularity in such fierce competition. The only problem is that it has nothing to do with him.
"I think he should stay pretty and keep it still." Lan Li's expression still maintained the usual gentleman's etiquette, with proper advance and retreat and relaxation, which can be called perfect, but his words made the atmosphere settle down again.
The translator sitting at the back of the slope has some impulse to laugh, but she doesn't know how to translate the meaning of the words.
This sentence is very simple, without any difficult words; But this sentence is meaningful when it is understood in context——
Sometimes it can be understood as: keep perfect and stick to it, which is of encouraging significance, to remind those who do not have self-confidence that they can straighten up and cheer for themselves; And sometimes it can be understood as: since it's a vase, then it's better to be a vase. There's no need to fool around because of your beauty. This has a negative meaning, and the irony can't be more obvious.
Obviously, in the context of Langley, it should be the latter.
But the translator is not very clear how to convey the meaning, in case she misunderstood?
This is not a very difficult sentence. Many reporters at the scene understood it. Even if there was no communication bridge for translation, they began to exchange views one after another, but they couldn't tell whether it was anger or shame. Is it too... Vulgar to interview the youngest egot winner in film history with such a question? In order to hype the news, in order to make hot spots, they seem to have even taken off their underwear.
But the most absurd moment of the whole press conference came.
The reporter who raised the question was not clear, so he immediately asked, "he is hopeful to start starring in the latest film directed by a talented woman director. Maybe he will have a chance to stand on the same stage with you in the future and perform in the opposite play. Do you have any opinions or advice on this?"
Silence.
Or silence.
The atmosphere of the scene immediately became awkward. This should be a question with mainland characteristics. The vase is equal to strength, the appearance is linked to the topic, and there is no bottom line or framework for endless consumption of entertainment news gossip. Even for professional performers like ego winners, it is no exception.
Now, does anyone care about real acting and professional? Is anyone willing to care about art and dreams now?
It's absurd and magical, but it's happening.
Lanli now has some regrets. He should not choose to come back, at least not in the way of promoting movies. Perhaps, he can return to this land alone, walk in those familiar streets, and capture the fragments of those good memories; But we should not expect the entertainment industry here.
Can he expect anything?
However, on the facial expression, Lan Li still did not reveal any flaws. He kept smiling and said gently, "good for him."
The classic lines are back.
When the "hype gate" was exposed, Langley responded to Chris Hemsworth's sophistry in this way. However, a simple sentence has unlimited possibilities, hiding all the feelings of satire and ridicule, sharpness and thumping, and giving a positive response with understatement.
Now it's back.
This is a very simple daily expression, which can be understood by more than half of the reporters. However, the indifference and alienation in Lan Li's words are obvious, which is in sharp contrast to the previous warm and cordial. Only then did they really realize:
It's not that lanli can't play big, but he doesn't want to; Not only in the mainland, but also all over the world, lanli is a top brand. But now, step by step, they have angered Lan Li. So, what should we do now?
From the beginning of the sentence "who", Lan Li has already made his position clear. He knows nothing about the name and has no interest in it. However, the reporter still doesn't know how to restrain himself and is still pushing forward. In the end, things will get out of hand.
The atmosphere is so stiff there.
Even the host seems to be in a bit of a hurry. If Lan Li puts down his words and turns around to leave, they are all helpless. After all, Lan Li doesn't need to look at their faces at all; But now, even if he wants to mend, he can't start. So, what should he do?
Gu Cailing stood on the side platform and couldn't help but start supporting his forehead. As a result, the reporter was able to dig his own hole and bury himself. Now the black pot will be carried by their public relations company. If lanli refuses to cooperate with their company in the future, or even refuses to come to Mordor to publicize it again, what should he do?
For the first time in many years, a top star came to the mainland for publicity, and then... There was no then.
With a quick decision, Gu Cailing turned around and signaled to the staff nearby. The staff immediately pushed a cart out. Then, with Gu Cailing's signal, the lights on the scene were turned off, leaving only a bunch of flickering candlelight on the cart to illuminate the surroundings.
"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to dear young master, happy birthday to you!"
The world's general happy birthday songs began to reverberate, backstage staff clapped their hands and sang together, and the reporters on the scene joined in the singing one after another. In the atmosphere of celebration, the tense sense of suffocation finally disappeared.
Lan Li accidentally looked at the birthday cake, with a bright smile on his face. He politely nodded to the staff and the host to express his thanks. When the singing stopped, he closed his eyes to fulfill his wish, and then blew out the candle.
When the light turned on again, it seemed that the episode had never happened before. Lan Li turned to the host with a smile on his face and said, "is it still a while before my birthday?"
"Yes, we know that your birthday is only a month away. But the week gravity is officially released is the date of your birthday; What's more, it's rare for you to visit China. We are one of the most hospitable nations. Naturally, we can't miss this important anniversary. " The host tried to say in a cheerful voice to heat up the atmosphere again.
"Ha." Lan Li chuckled heartily. "This is the first time someone has celebrated my birthday in public. Thank you. Thank you very much."
In the United States and Britain, birthdays are very private. For most people, they prefer to celebrate with their family and friends; And there are a small number of people who don't want to celebrate their birthdays, such as forty or fifty, to remind themselves of their old age.
As a result, few people celebrate their birthday in public. Even if it happens occasionally, it is closely related to parties.
Therefore, this is indeed the first time that someone celebrated lanli's birthday in public. It's still a bit wonderful, which can't be described in words for a while.
"It's our pleasure." The host also said, "next, we need to cut the cake. How do you like to taste our special cake?"
Joy and light tone, the atmosphere is finally saved.
