1347 collateral damage

Tonight's concert went smoothly with no flaws or surprises, and the second half of the performance was a great live-on-the-spot performance, and when the performance ended, the audience gave the conductor and trumpet a standing ovation, which was a real treat.

Now there is such a turbulent sea of people outside the David Geffen Hall, obviously not because of the accident of the performance, then it must be because of the presence of important people in the VIP box. This is the most plausible explanation, as it was at the Almeida Theatre or the Richard Rogers Theatre.

"It seems that there should be some big names at today's concert. Lan Li lowered his voice and teased, Damien and Rooney had no way to refute, a speechless expression cast a gaze, expressing complaint, Lan Li shrugged his shoulders slightly, "I know, we must leave as soon as possible, otherwise the scene may be chaotic." ”

Lan Li has not forgotten that he is also a "public figure", and in such an occasion, once recognized, the scene will be out of control.

Damien and Rooney didn't know what was going on outside, they were just complaining about Lan Li's so-called "big shots" just now, and now that they heard that Lan Li was still self-aware, they didn't say anything more, just discussed in a low voice: Is it too late to go through the back door now? Could there be a large crowd there?

"Lanli-Hall!"

Suddenly, there was a cry of shock, and it exploded in the bustling noise, brushing the ground together, and all eyes were projected in the same direction.

Lan Li smiled dumbly, cast his eyes at Damien, Rooney and the others, and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect to be exposed so soon, what should I do now? Should I stay alone and break the queen? And then you all run away hand in hand? In war movies, are the scripts all written like this?"

Even at this time, Lan Li still had the heart to joke.

Obviously, Lan Li hadn't realized exactly what was going on.

After a concert, the righteous and courageous thing has been completely forgotten, it is just a gesture, and there is nothing commendable in the first place, so Lan Li just thinks that they accidentally discovered the whereabouts of themselves and Rooney, and driven by the gossip emotion, they pay attention to it by the way, which is just "collateral damage".

Compared with Lan Li, who is "ignorant of the world", Rooney is vaguely aware of the abnormality, but for a while, she can't accurately capture the ins and outs, and she can't say why.

And Damien, Simmons and others are even more confused, and they have no clue at all.

But they didn't have time to react, let alone escape. Because all the crowds were swarming in the direction where Lan Li and his party were, they quickly surrounded them like a tide, and even completely ignored the other spectators who had just left the David Geffen Hall, and the order of the scene was a little chaotic.

This is not the first time Lan Li has dealt with such a scene.

Lan Li did not move his feet, and stood honestly in place, only in this way would the crowd of people who followed him maintain the flow in the same direction, instead of moving vertically and horizontally to completely disrupt the rhythm and cause more chaos; more importantly, after standing firmly in the center of the circle, the order of the scene can be stabilized slightly.

This is a relatively safe thing to do.

Sure enough, the surging crowd arrived at Lan Li's side, and after a small bump, the order of the scene was temporarily controlled, and before Lan Li could open his mouth to ask questions, one question after another flocked to him.

"Lan Li, may I ask, what happened to the robbery just now?"

"What exactly happened?"

"What were you thinking at the time, and why did you choose to take the initiative?"

"Didn't you think you'd get hurt?"

"You and Rooney were seen on the scene, is that true?"

"Are you and Rooney dating, and how long has it been? Is it from the time of 'gravity'?"

"Can you tell us more about the robbery?"

……

Lan Li showed a slightly surprised look, he didn't expect that the reporters were actually exploring this question.

Turning their heads, Lan Li and Rooney exchanged glances.

Rooney was slightly surprised for a moment, but it didn't last long, she immediately suddenly realized that she gently bowed her head, all her doubts seemed to be able to be explained, and she couldn't help but show a shallow smile, "They are all here for you." A hint of schadenfreude seems to be captured.

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and replied indifferently, "They are also here for you." ”

Rooney rolled her eyes helplessly, indicating a silent complaint.

A smile appeared in Lan Li's eyes, and the eye contact was only a momentary matter, and then he looked at the reporters in front of him again, "So, did you come here specifically for this matter?"

After receiving an affirmative answer that nodded one after another, Lan Li smiled dumbly, "It's not a big deal. There were four gangsters on the side of the road who were hurting a delivery man, we got out of the car and drank them off, and helped to complete the action of calling the police, and that's all. ”

“……”

The reporters were collectively speechless, and under Lan Li's description, all the thrills, all the ups and downs became dull and tasteless, as if there was no need to discuss it at all, and even they themselves felt a sense of stupidity, but the reporters still did not give up easily, and according to what they learned at the scene and the details described by Kianusz, they asked questions little by little.

Not only Lan Li, but Rooney has also become the object of questioning.

Unconsciously, Lan Li and Rooney stood side by side in front of reporters, looking like a couple being interviewed.

What's even more exaggerated is that Simmons, Justin and other people are all bustling to stand next to them, with their hands crossed over their chests, revealing the expression of watching the show from the sidelines, especially Damien is still "pointing the country", constantly pointing his head, as if the director is instructing the actors to perform.

The scene is somewhat comical.

The only exception is Melissa.

Melissa was quietly moving her steps, swimming against the current in the turbulent crowd, and finally squeezed behind Lan Li and Rooney, quietly standing behind Rooney's shoulders, her eyes searched quickly, showing a sweet smile to the reporter's camera, and then quietly raised her right hand and gestured with a scissor hand.

No reporter notices Melissa, and all eyes are focused on the two protagonists, but the rapid flashing lights still record the whole picture realistically.

Justin Hurwitz's gaze faintly captured Melissa's movements, but Melissa's male companion tonight was also standing next to him, and the other party didn't say much, Justin hesitated for a moment, but still chose to close his mouth and pretend not to see.

Melissa thought that her movements were so secretive that no one noticed them, but in fact, Lan Li had already noticed it.

Because the aristocrats always habitually keep their distance, and because of the fan chaos incident encountered at Lincoln Center, Lan Li paid special attention to the crowd in the dense crowd, especially the surge near the body, consciously or unconsciously, the peripheral vision can always capture the swaying figures nearby.

Vaguely, Lan Li could understand the meaning of Melissa's actions. Although he doesn't think it's necessary, it's everyone's choice and there's nothing special to evaluate. He won't support it, but he won't oppose it.

Lan Li still focused and looked at the reporters in front of him, "I don't think it's a very important thing. Now that you know the news, who knows if the delivery man is in good health and well?"

In the face of Lan Li's question, all the reporters looked at each other, stunned that no one could answer.

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders helplessly, even if he didn't say a word, the meaning couldn't be more obvious. They were just a bunch of opportunists, who didn't care about the real protagonists of the event, but they couldn't wait to come to Lincoln Center to wait for two people who were not in any potential danger, just because they were public figures.

"If anyone gets an update, expect to be able to keep me informed. Lan Li said with a smile, he didn't mean to condemn, but the irony was revealed.

In the face of reporters and fans, Lan Li can show different states, and he can always make reporters feel embarrassed without moving. Today is no exception.

The brief silence quietly shifted the momentum between the interviewer and the interviewee.

Finally, a reporter broke the silence and raised his voice to ask, "Crime is not uncommon in New York, even in Manhattan." When you pass by in a taxi, isn't your first reaction to hesitation, or to call the police? When you choose to rush forward, do you really think of yourself as a superhero?"

A simple rhetorical question, but with a needle hidden in it, launched an attack in an ironic way. Especially the last sentence, which is full of aggression, and even faintly mocks Lan Li for deliberately creating news and pretending to be a superhero.

Instead of being angry, Lan Li chuckled, "What the hell am I doing wrong, why do people always think I'm a superhero?" Or is every Hollywood actor a superhero?"

Lan Li is still Lan Li, a way of ridicule and irony, faintly complaining: he has nothing to do with superheroes; further, Lan Li is still complaining about the lonely hero mode of Hollywood movies, and gradually formed a fixed illusion, as if every Hollywood actor should be a superhero in life.

After the little teasing was over, the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth converged, and his expression became serious, "Besides, I don't think it's such a special decision. I just made a choice that a normal person should make, and it was something I had to do. I'm not the type to take out my phone and take pictures in a crisis situation. ”

Who would pull out their phone and take a picture in a crisis situation?

Many do, and journalists bear the brunt of it.
