1951 Different Sparks
The opening of today's show is really too exciting, even the audience with the biggest brain hole would never have expected that Lan Li would make an unprecedented fuss, and then be embarrassed at a loss!
After the Sundance Film Festival, Lan Li's private true face was once again inadvertently displayed in front of everyone, he will also make mistakes, he will be nervous, he will be anxious, the only difference is that his way of dealing with it is more admirable, and the appropriate conversation and action are always like a spring breeze.
It is already foreseeable that if the opening clip is not edited, then this episode of the show can definitely detonate the ratings frenzy!
The audience was almost on the verge of laughing out of their six-pack abs, and that's the best proof of that.
After a moment's pause, Jimmy restrained his smile and put on an extremely serious and focused expression, and said to the audience, "Lan Li has officially appeared, which also means that our opening is over, and we will get to the main topic next......
"So, all of that just now was the beginning?" Although Lan Li's words were questions, he was not ready to wait for Jimmy's answer, and after finishing speaking, he pursed his lips meaningfully and nodded slightly, and then made a "scissorhands" movement into the camera lens, and reached a "deal" with a "you know and I know" look, the meaning could not be more obvious:
In that case, then all the previous content is cut out.
Jimmy was also about to make fun of Lan Li's "question", and make a joke with a clever response or two, and then he saw Lan Li's blatant action, "Wait, wait, I thought we said okay? Won't that part of the scene just now be playable? ”
Lan Li didn't say much or do much, just put his hands on his knees elegantly, put on a standard smile, and looked at Jimmy for some reason, as if he had made up his mind to start recording from scratch, and the serious appearance made it impossible to tell whether this was funny or not.
Jimmy opened his mouth slightly, looked at Lan Li, then looked at the director, and then saw the funny expressions of the audience who were almost about to burst into laughter, and he pulled the corners of his mouth with a crying and laughing, "Guys, now is not the time to be funny, can anyone tell me where we stand?"
"Jimmy, are you sure we don't need to swap places? When Jay decided to retire, NBC actually called me and asked for my opinion, and I thought they wouldn't mind if I changed my mind now. Lan Li's words drew Jimmy's attention to him.
Jimmy turned his head to look at Lan Li, only to find that Lan Li's face was still calm, but his eyes with a slight smile revealed the heavenly secret, and he reacted and covered his cheeks in great annoyance, "God! I'm going to record from scratch, Jesus Christ, I can't believe what's going on, I strongly demand to be recorded from scratch." ”
Lan Li had just come out of the way, and he didn't expect that Jimmy would also be swept away by Lan Li, and Jimmy really couldn't keep up with this quick transition between offense and defense.
For a long time, Jimmy's self-proclaimed reflexes are very outstanding, and the impatience exercised by "Saturday Night Live" is definitely not just a silver gun wax head, but Lan Li's humor rhythm is very, very fast, and the entry point is unguardable, and the most important thing is that Lan Li's voice tone is difficult to detect the change in details, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will miss it, Jimmy has completely lost his initiative, this is a completely new experience!
But now that the show is being recorded, Jimmy can't ask for a pause to sober himself up and more importantly, he's enjoying it himself, that's the biggest charm of talk shows, isn't it?
"God, do you know Justin Timberlake? You really should meet him. Jimmy thinks that when it comes to wit, Justin and Lan Li can be compared.
Lan Li raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Someone just said that he once watched my work and liked it very much. ”
Jimmy sat stunned, then he lay down on the table, raised his right hand, and waved it softly like a small white flag
Lan Li and Justin collaborated on "Drunken Country Folk", which was just offline not long ago.
Jimmy did watch "Drunken Country Ballad", if not for Lan Li, but for Justin, but now he was so flustered and cramped that he simply forgot about it, which once again proved that his thoughts were not keeping up at all.
After the recording of the show, Jimmy contacted Justin directly and chatted about Lan Li, and then Justin repeatedly said, "I...... Please don't ...... me Don't compare the two of us, okay? It's a monster! I swear! I can't keep up with my thinking! If he wants to play a prank, trust me, neither of us is his match combined!"
"......" Jimmy was almost about to cry, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I really had a big mess on the show!" but after the joke, Jimmy also said, "This episode is really, really exciting! I think it's probably the pinnacle of my career." I now finally understand why all talk shows want to invite Lan Li, do you know how much effort it took NBC to finalize this itinerary invitation?"
Behind the scenes, although Lan Li's contract with Warner Bros. stipulates that he must cooperate with the film to promote the itinerary, the quantity and quality of the itinerary are strictly regulated.
During the filming of "Jurassic World", Lan Li set aside two weeks for the promotion of "Interstellar", which also made his itinerary have to be simple and simple, and ensure that the simplest itinerary can create the greatest publicity effect with the simplest itinerary. It is precisely because of this that the major talk shows of major TV stations, in order to grab the itinerary of the blue ceremony, can be said to be a head-break, such a magnificent scene, Hollywood has not seen it for many years.
Alan DeGiannis's "The Ellen Show" successfully invited Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Ranley Hall and Matt Damon to star on the show, and Allen's personal relationship with Ranley was undoubtedly the deciding factor, while the "Tonight Show" without Jay Reynolds unfortunately lost the biggest chips.
NBC TV spent a lot of effort and even mobilized multiple connections, and even retired Jay Leno personally went into battle, which invited Lan Li.
It's not just the issue of remuneration for acting, everyone in Hollywood knows it, in fact, Lan Li's requirements for remuneration are very reasonable, and the remuneration fee for his talk show is slightly higher than the average level of top actors, and there is still a big gap with the highest apex;
What really determines whether Lan Li is willing to appear in the show is always sincerity and personal relationships. Alan DeGiannis's friendship with Lan Li has become the envy of everyone in the industry.
Back to the recording site.
Annoyed and shy, Jimmy raised his head again and apologized to Lan Li, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I definitely didn't mean to." If you ask for a re-recording now, I have absolutely no problem. ”
Lan Li chuckled, "Don't worry, not everyone likes my work, and in the same way, not everyone needs to like my work. I think it's perfectly normal. I think, more importantly now, are you sure Justin wouldn't mind? You watched his work and didn't remember him showing up. ”
"Huh. Jimmy spread his hands and chuckled, "I guess, even if he doesn't like it, he'll just accept it, that's life, isn't it?"
Justin Timberlake, who did not show up at the scene, was innocently shot.
Jimmy then put on a very serious and focused expression and asked, "So, are you a loyal viewer of 'The Jimmy Tonight Show'?"
Before the question is finished, Jimmy is already hovering on the edge of the laughter, and he may break the score at any moment.
Jimmy still has his own wisdom, and he still found his own way in the predicament, and brought the show back on track again, Lan Li immediately understood, and nodded seriously in affirmation, "Of course, of course, my personal favorite talk show is 'Jimmy's Tonight Show'." ”
This is the kind of "business nonsense" in social situations: even though today is the first time we meet, we still have to show our "cordiality"; we still have to show our "love" even though we don't know each other before.
Jimmy laughed straight away, "yes, yes, I've seen every one of your works, movie fans, absolutely avid movie fans." The more sincere it was, the more sarcastic it was, even Lan Li couldn't hold back it, and laughed directly, while Jimmy slapped the table and threw himself back and forth into laughter.
One mistook Jimmy Fallon for Jimmy Canmore, and the other didn't remember what movie Lan Li starred in, but the two of them opened their eyes with sincerity and said nonsense, interpreting the politeness and hypocrisy of social occasions to the fullest, but the two showed great sincerity and sincerity, and the scene was even more funny.
Although Lan Li and Jimmy were not able to fully fit each other's rhythm, at least not like Jay Renault, the two still rubbed different chemistry, and the opening of the show made people laugh, even more down-to-earth than Jay Renault's cold-faced smiler style.
The audience was already laughing until they were silent.
Eventually, Jimmy managed to control his smile and asked again, "Lan Li, are you sure it's okay? I really don't want to embarrass anyone, you know." What if you refuse to come to our show in the future? As for me, don't worry, I can handle Justin Timberlake, trust me. ”
Lan Li's smile was still on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't defend himself, but took the opportunity to say, "Actually, I am a personality who often makes mistakes in life, and I just hope that my mistakes will not offend you." ”
"It's okay, I really don't care, but I can't see that you're actually a confused personality?"
