1255 Tucao Assembly
Graham instantly caught the cunning in Lan Li's eyes.
Because, Lan Li actually just made an action, the button was not unbuttoned at all, and even the expression did not change much, but the audience was just coaxing and cheering up.
In fact, from beginning to end, Lan Li maintained the usual etiquette, and the slightly relaxed words did not exaggerate the provocation/teasing/exposure, everything was all Graham's guidance and the audience's illusion, but inadvertently created the hottest explosion since the recording of the show.
In the end, Lan Li still didn't stick to the leaves, and the elegant smile on his face remained the same.
Quietly, Lan Li adapted to the atmosphere of the "Norton Show" program, and easily grasped the initiative, even Graham himself couldn't help blushing and his heart jumped, which was definitely an extremely unique experience of recording the show. If it weren't for the fact that the show was still being recorded, Graham would have wanted to give Lan Li a round of applause.
But this is Graham's home turf after all, and he is not a host who is easily led by the nose.
"Ed, I want to ask, do you want to unbutton that button?" Graham teased easily, responding positively to Lan Li's actions just now, and at the same time smoothly shifting his focus to Ed, who was originally going to interview Ed just now, and the whole show went on like water.
But that's what makes Ed.
Ed was at a loss, looked at Lan Li, and then at himself, as if asking: Whose button is unbuttoned? His, or mine? How should I answer? What should I do?
Finally, Ed hugged his head in a panic, his face full of chagrin and struggle.
In this reaction, the scene was once again reminded of a commotion: laughter, whistles, shouts, cheers, everything.
However, Graham's conversation was very fast-paced, leaving no too much space, and the laughter and breaking points were fleeting, and then continued at his own pace, "Ed, seriously, you have mentioned your relationship with Lan Li many times on different occasions, remind me, where was your first meeting?"
Sitting next to him, Lan Li instantly understood Graham's intentions, and a helpless smile appeared in his eyes.
Ed didn't know why, he glanced at Lan Li in a daze, and said with a little hesitation, "Well, our first meeting was on the streets of Los Angeles, and I was performing on the street at the time, and then, this person suddenly appeared......"
"No, no, I mean, what's the big thing that night? ...... your street performance moment?"
"Oh, oh. After Graham's reminder, Ed slowed down for half a beat to react, and said again and again, "Emmy, it was the night of the Emmys, and I was outside the Nokia Theater where the awards ceremony was held, performing. ”
Graham nodded again and again, motioning for Ed to continue, Ed glanced at Lan Li again, seemed to be a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should say it, and then saw Lan Li gently pursed the corners of his mouth, and said helplessly, "Ed, once again, I am not Magneto." ”
The subtext is: I'm not manipulating what you say or do, and you're free to talk.
The audience burst into laughter.
Ed himself also chuckled, and Daniel next to him immediately had a thoughtful and comforting expression, adding, "Don't worry, Graham is not Voldemort either." ”
This time, even Lan Li and Graham both laughed, and the studio scene was even more out of control.
In the midst of the laughter, Daniel explained with a smile on his face, "I mean, I understand Ed. When I first appeared on this show, I was worried: what should I say, what would be the right words, would I spoil the atmosphere, and I wouldn't understand Graham's jokes, so what should I do?"
Graham spread out his hands with a look of helplessness, and then said urgently, "What a lovely and sweet person I am, how can you be afraid of me? In the midst of the laughter, Graham changed the subject, "Speaking of this, Daniel, I heard that when you participated in the show in the United States, you also encountered a lot of interesting things. ”
"Yes. Obviously, this was the topic of greeting in advance, so Daniel didn't panic and said directly, "I was only eleven or twelve years old at the time, and in order to promote 'Harry Potter', I had to appear in some shows, including 'The Today Show', which was recorded in Times Square." ”
"Oh, oh, Fishbowl Studio. Ed Lien echoed.
Daniel nodded in agreement, "yes, that's it." I was standing next to me, very nervous, my mind was in a mess, anxiously thinking, what the hell should I say, because no one told me what to talk about after the show, I can't say anything about the weather in London, right?"
Amid a low chuckle, Daniel continued, "There's another guy I'm going to be on the same show, and he's Donald-Trump, he's a rich man in the United States, although I don't know why he became a celebrity......
"Poof".
Lan Li, who was sitting next to him, almost lost control and lost his temper, the name ...... Three years later, in 2016, he will be a history-maker in the U.S. presidential election. Despite being the biggest laughing stock of all time, it's also a kind of history-making, after all, it's the people of the United States who voted for it.
Fortunately, Lan Li has deep internal strength, so he did not break the gong.
Daniel told his story smoothly, "And then he was asked, hey, would you like to meet the kid who played Harry Potter." So he nodded and said, "Okay, why not?" and we met. ”
"I said hello to him briefly, said something polite 'nice to meet you,' and then he asked me what I was thinking. I told him honestly, and he told me, 'You can tell the host that you just met Donald-***'. After Daniel finished speaking, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The audience clapped and laughed even more-
During the interview, when you don't know what topic to discuss, talk about "Donald-***". If narcissism and arrogance held a competition, presumably the rich man should easily be at the top.
For the audience, this is just an after-dinner topic, but for Lan Li, it means a lot. Compare the scene three years later, Daniel's story is even more interesting, and the irony is overwhelming.
"Wow, he's probably the most self-worshipping man since Nepoleon-Bonaparte. Graham's teasing was still at his fingertips, and then his eyes naturally fell on Ed, "As far as I know, Lan Li doesn't love himself so much, does he?"
"Of course. The smile on Ed's face hadn't gone away, his mood seemed to be much more relaxed, and his answer became a little lighter, "We mentioned the Emmy ...... just now" and Ed caught Graham's approving look, which meant that Ed's decision to turn the conversation back to the point was the right one, which gave Ed some confidence.
That night, Lan Li had just won the Emmy trophy. But instead of attending those celebrity parties, he left the banquet and performed with me on the side of the street. Even now, it's an incredible experience when he composed 'Ophelia', which I sang every time I performed in my solo performances. ”
Ed finally completes the story.
Before Graham could answer, Lan Li inadvertently interjected, "Did you get the copyright permission?"
Ed blinked, confused.
In the hundredth and first laugh in the studio, Graham replied in Ed's place, "Definitely not, so the next time you meet, it should be in the courtroom, right?"
complained mercilessly, and completed the combo of Lan Li and Ed at one time, Graham was originally going to continue the conversation in one go, but the laughter and applause at the scene were really too turbulent, and they interrupted Graham's words abruptly, and even Lan Li and Ed were laughing.
Graham shrugged his shoulders triumphantly, waiting for his voice to calm down a little, before proceeding, "The Emmy Award, that was Master Lanley's first trophy, beating Al Pacino, and now, years later, Master Lanli has officially won his first Oliver Award, across different fields......"
"Bang Bang!"
Graham did not stop the audience this time, but fanned the audience, pushing the atmosphere to a whole new high, and repeatedly agreed, "Yes, yes, this is incredible!" God, I can't imagine what it's like, but ...... TV, movies, music, drama, Lan Li, please tell me, is there anything else you are not good at?"
"Social. Lan Li gave an answer without hesitation.
Because the answer was so fast that Graham choked up, and more importantly, it was even more frustrating: social?
In the midst of the stunned scene, Lan Li continued, "Look, that's what I mean. It seems to say that creating such awkward scenes is his forte, and at the same time, he is not good at socializing. But obviously, the audience didn't buy it at all, and there was applause and coaxing, and the heat wave on the scene didn't seem to stop.
Graham took over the initiative again, "So, how does it feel? I mean, to receive the praise from the professionals in the industry, every trophy is so heavy, and besides, you're not yet twenty-four, right?"
"Yes, I know. Lan Li smiled widely, "But actually, I feel quite sad. Because I'm pretty sure that this should be the pinnacle of my career, and I can't beat it in the future. Yes, I'm only twenty-four, but my life is about to go downhill, so don't remind me of that, okay? I'm very heavy now. ”
Spitting, this is the real self-spitting!
