"I just said that most of the reporters in the audience today should be here for Lan Li and Justin, and then Lan Li said that this is rude speculation for a lady. Joel couldn't help but laugh out loud again as he thought back to the conversation.

Kerry, who was sitting on Lan Li's right hand, leaned in front of the microphone and quipped, "Actually, I don't mind, you can ignore me as much as you like and focus all your attention on the gentlemen, I can just be lazy and daze." ”

Then Justin, who was sitting on the left hand side of the Coen brothers, teased unwillingly, "Hey, if you assign interview tasks according to the weight of the movie scenes, it doesn't seem like this is how things should be." Shouldn't we have a better conversation in private?"

The gags of your back and forth made everyone chuckle, and before the press conference had officially begun, there was a light atmosphere in the whole hall, and the warm atmosphere that surged secretly made the rain outside no longer important, but when the reporters asked the first question, the cheerful and light atmosphere suddenly turned sharply -

"Lan Li, before the official start of today's press conference, there were rumors that you specially provided American coffee and towels for all the reporters in attendance, in fact, it was a move to curry favor with the media, is this true?"

Silent.

Silent.

Silent.

There was silence in the entire press conference hall, as if a large string of ellipses could be clearly seen flying slowly over the 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 a little flustered, completely killed by surprise.

As the person concerned, Lan Li was the most calm and calm, and after adjusting the angle of the microphone unhurriedly, he replied, "I never knew, 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", such rumors are just talked about on the Internet, there is no need to ask questions at the press conference, because this is a dead end problem, the person being asked only needs to deny it, and there is no way to continue the follow-up question.

In other words, only the new generation of online self-media will ask such questions. They think and ask questions in the form of social media discussions, revealing a natural way of thinking, but not only is it not professional at all, but there are no explosions or highlights to speak of.

Some things seem reasonable on the Internet, but they become ridiculous when they are taken out of the online environment.

So, Lan Li's opening remarks said.

What's more, those traditional reporters are secretly snickering and really laughing, but most of the emerging self-media don't understand the deep meaning of Lan Li's words at all, and they can't understand the reason for the eyes and smiles that flock to the hall from all directions, including the questioners.

This is the inevitable drawback of the Internet age, fast food culture, and the rapid rise of social networks. Everything is a double-edged sword, pros and cons coexist, for the rapid rise of personal self-media, the most important flaw is the loss of interview art, everything has become simple and rude, lack of heritage, lack of professionalism, and lack of interest.

"What if my answer is yes, so what?" Lan Li had no intention of answering seriously at all, and just said lightly.

yes, so what?

Actors and public figures curry favor with the media, so what?

It's not bribery, it's not flattery, it's just a gesture of kindness, and everyone is free to choose whether to accept it or not, so ...... So?

“…… Do you mean, you're trying to curry favor with the media?" the questioner seemed to grasp Lan Li's handle, and after a moment of hesitation, the whole person began to get excited, so that his voice trembled slightly.

Lan Li was still smiling and looked over calmly, "And then?"

It's a boring question.

Lan Li never cared about these critical and disgusting glances.

If a person decides to hate another person, then no matter what the other person does, the result will be the same, it will just make the annoying feeling worse, and vice versa, if a person decides to like another person, then no matter what bad behavior the other person does, it will not shake the emotion.

When one person decides to ignore the other, then the other person's actions are meaningless.

Lan Li had no intention of currying favor with these journalists, nor did she intend to maintain her reputation. What's more, in his opinion, even explaining and pestering is just a waste of time and energy.

The sentence "then" immediately choked the new human from the media who asked the question.

He always felt that he could say something, such as launching an attack from the moral high ground, but after all the words swirled on the tip of his tongue, he found that they had no meaning or effect, so he was stuck.

Lan Li didn't give the other party more time and space, and gently bowed his head, "Next question." ”

Sitting in the crowd, Emily and Mark almost burst out laughing, and the scene was so joyful:

There are only three sentences before and after, and the seemingly tricky and sharp questions are eliminated in Lan Li's hands in a blink of an eye, but the ridicule and banter hidden in them are really obvious, and the counterattack is completed with a blank face, and finally you can see that the questioner is left in place with a blank face, and no one cares.

At this time, the host quickly came back to his senses, quickly scanned his eyes, and then ordered a reporter, from the British professional film magazine "Total-Film", professional and authoritative are beyond doubt.

Sure enough, the reporter lived up to the host's painstaking efforts, and resolved the stiff atmosphere just now with a clever opening, "Your Excellency Lan Li, may I ask if you have any plans to release an album in the future, can you notify us in advance this time?" I think there should be many people who are willing to buy it. ”

"Justin Timberlake is going to be angry. Lan Li's answer made everyone in the audience laugh, and the atmosphere became brisk again in an instant.

Justin, who was sitting next to him, also knew that this was a cover-up ridicule, so he didn't have a poor mouth, but crossed his hands in front of his chest, and deliberately made an angry gesture, matching Lan Li's words, but this was enough.

The correspondent of the "complete film" then moved on to the official question.

"First of all, personally, I enjoyed this work very, very much, and especially your performance. Here, I'd like to ask if the experience of Don Quixote was an inspiration to you during the performance, and what would you do if you were in the same situation as Levine? I mean, the last scene of the movie, your eyes are really heartbreaking, and this is probably the most moving performance since Love Goes Crazy. ”

After saying the question freely, the reporter chuckled, "Sorry, there are a lot of questions." ”

This is the real way for professional media to ask questions.

Lan Li responded with a smile, "First of all, thank you for your love and support. It can be heard that this reporter is also very familiar with Lan Li's work, and then he officially answered the question, "Before officially answering the question, I can say a little tidbit, maybe this will be helpful to you." ”

"Joel and Ethan decided to invite me to the ...... of this production after watching last year's Grammy performances"

Before Lan Li's words could be finished, Joel couldn't wait to intervene in the topic, "Correct, the source of inspiration." The inspiration for this work was Lan Li. We watched him perform, and the shock of the 'beast' became the inspiration for the whole film, and then we listened to the album 'Don Quixote'. ”

"To be honest, in the beginning, we thought about writing an entire film with the album 'Don Quixote' as the soundtrack, but then we reversed the idea, which was too personal and too real to become a biography of Ranley Hall. So, we came up with Dave Van Lunk ......"

Before he knew it, Lan Li sat quietly next to him, and it became Joel who answered the questions, and he told the whole creative inspiration and creative process, revealing the story behind the scenes in front of the public for the first time.

After the story was all told, Joel reacted, "Hey, why did I answer all the questions just now?" Lan Li, to be honest, you did it on purpose, right?"

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders slightly, but smiled silently, which made Joel spread his hands helplessly, "Look, he's Levine Davis." ”

"Thank you. I'll take it as a compliment. Lan Li then opened his mouth to respond, and then returned to his question, "Obviously, the album 'Don Quixote' did give me a lot of inspiration, in fact, in real life, I have already made a choice, I participated in the performance of the work 'Buried Alive', and released 'Don Quixote'. ”

In the midst of the predicament, Lan Li still chose to persevere. So, this is what we have now.

After Lan Li and Joel's answers, the atmosphere of the scene had fully recovered, and then another reporter stood up and got the opportunity to ask questions.

"First of all, congratulations, 'Drunken Country Folk' is a very good movie. My question is, in terms of subject matter and genre, and even the story, this is not a film full of countless possibilities, so why did you choose this work in the first place? Also, what do you think of the excellent reviews of the film now?"

All eyes were on Lan Li, but Lan Li politely turned his head to look at the Coen brothers, "Shouldn't this question be answered by the director? ”
