"Lan Li, may I ask, which work did you vote for Best Picture?"

On the surface, this is a simple and ordinary question, which can be considered a question that everyone will be curious about after the Oscar Best Picture is announced, without too many tricks, but Lan Li knows that the problems that arise on Oscar night are full of traps, especially tonight, how can he be easily fooled?

Lan Li smiled and replied unhurriedly, "Are you sure it's legal to ask this question on this occasion tonight?" I thought it was the unwritten convention of anonymous voting, and everyone kept their mouths shut. With a hint of ridicule, the words revealed a hint of sharpness.

It's like a parliamentary or parliamentary proposal that is rejected and no one can ask who voted against it, because that would be contrary to the original purpose of "democracy."

The reporters have bad intentions, but Lan Li is not merciful, which can be described as the tip of the needle.

The reporters raised a gossip question, but Lan Li lightly raised the issue to the level of a serious topic, and all the reporters present immediately closed their mouths, and all the impatience was strangled to death in the gestation stage in an instant. Involuntarily, the reporters all showed a look of concern in their eyes: It's so ruthless!

But after all, there were still bold people in the bustling crowd at the scene, who unwillingly raised their voices and asked, "Are you refusing to answer because you are afraid?

If Lan Li hadn't chosen to be a slave for 12 years, it would have been okay to put on a hat of "race/race/discrimination/discrimination" under the instigation of the media.

In the face of such a sharp, direct, and ferocious question, many reporters present frowned, and their eyes showed disagree: such a question is clearly provoking trouble, and nothing can provoke a bunch of incidents, this is purely messing around, without any professional ethics at all.

Lan Li was not surprised at all.

Putting aside the grievances and grievances of previous years, when he was in the hospital at the beginning of the year, he let go of his cruel words in the face of reporters, and did not leave any face for reporters at all, and it can even be said that he was overbearing. At that time, because of Paul's situation, the reporters were at a disadvantage, and there was no way to confront Lan Li head-on, but it did not mean that they could be magnanimous and tolerant. Lan Li believes that even if not all journalists, there must be some reporters waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

Lan Li was still not flustered, and with a smile on his face, he projected the source of the voice, and replied loudly, "Excuse me, which media is the reporter asking the question from?"

The other party was not fooled, "What, do you want to retaliate?"

"Hah!" Lan Li's laugh rolled faintly in his throat, and then he said gracefully and gentlemanly, "This is a very interesting follow-up question: why do I want to retaliate, is it because your question is ill-intentioned?"

Damn fox!

Lan Li only used a rhetorical question to immediately make the reporter fall into passivity.

Seeing that the reporter was about to continue to refute, Lan Li didn't give him more chances, and he then said, "If that's really the case, then my answer is yes." Yes, I am ready to retaliate. ”

The answer ......

"Poof", some reporters at the scene didn't hold back, and laughed directly, and their eyes were projected towards the nominated reporter, with a gloating color in their eyes: Such a picture is really really joyful, what should I do?

The reporter didn't expect Lan Li to admit so directly, and his words stammered a little, "...... You, how can you do that?"

"Why not?" Lan Li asked rhetorically, of course, "I'm not sure what your motivation is, do you have an opinion about the crew of 'Twelve Years a Slave'?" or do you have an opinion about me?"

"Of course, personally, I'm looking forward to seeing Gravity reach the top, but that doesn't detract from my respect for 12 Years a Slave. I don't think Oscar is a winner's duel because there are no losers here. Lan Li is still a smiling gentleman, and the words seem to be laughing and talking about Fengyue, but the content of the words is very sharp.

"So, when you ask this question, it's clear that you're trying to attack something. Maybe it's me, maybe it's the crew of 'Twelve Years a Slave', no matter who it is, I think that since you are allowed to attack, you must allow us to fight back, right?" Lan Li's knightly demeanor made people think of the fair and fair duel spirit in the knightly era, and the atmosphere of the whole scene quietly changed, "So, your question is whether you are preparing to attack me, or are you preparing to attack Brad?"

What to do?

The reporter immediately found himself in a dead end, with nowhere to escape: Something was not quite right? It was obviously he who took the lead in the attack, but why did he fall into passivity between the words? What the hell is going on? But everything happened too quickly, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts, he always felt that he was surrounded by Lan Li, but he couldn't say why.

Just now, Lan Li was the object of the audience's attention, but now, the focus of the audience is gathering towards the reporters who ask questions.

He believed that there should be many reporters on his side at this time, but now they couldn't find any of them, and everyone wisely chose to shut up, which put him in a situation of isolation and helplessness. After a moment's hesitation, he tried to fight back, "You still haven't answered my question!

Lan Li chuckled, still polite, "I thought I had just answered the question head-on, are you sure you didn't hear it?"

The question-asking reporter swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitated again and again, and finally chose to shut up, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and did not continue to ask questions, and died down in this way.

As a gentleman, Lan Li's biggest advantage is that he is polite and decent, so he did not further aggressively ridicule or ridicule, but withdrew his gaze, looked at other reporters, and waited for the next question, which finally eased the atmosphere of the scene a little.

Then a reporter asked again, this time about Robert Lopez winning EGOT, and then a reporter asked Lan Li about his defeat for Best Actor, these are basically the standard official questions of Oscar night, and Lan Li is also comfortable with it, and the atmosphere is warm again.

But the reporter who asked the question never spoke again, and the audience was like a man, always feeling that he had become a target, and that feeling was really bad.

However, he still didn't leave, gritted his teeth and insisted on the scene, and later when the "12 Years a Slave" crew appeared on the red carpet, he reworked the similar problem and threw it to Brad Pitt.

Compared to Lan Li, Brad's temper is even hotter, tonight is their night, and now someone is actually trying to destroy this beauty, he walked forward directly, trying to personally search for the other party's owner nameplate, "Which reporter are you? I just heard that someone embarrassed Lan Li, and now it's my turn?"

The atmosphere at the scene was tense for a while.

Although Brad didn't come forward directly, he simply refused to answer the question, and directly asked, "What, do you have an opinion about the winner of Best Picture?"

Obviously, the other party had an opinion, but no one dared to say it in person at the scene, and in the end, it was over. After the "12 Years of Slavery" team left, the reporter who asked the question secretly left the scene, and he seemed to understand now that he seemed to be in trouble.

Interestingly, however, no one knew which media outlet the reporter was from, and it wasn't until the next day that the supermarket tabloid National Enquirer denounced Lan Li and Brad at great length, saying that they threatened innocent journalists with mental oppression in an attempt to undermine freedom of speech and press publishing rights.

That's when the truth came out.

It turned out to be the famous "National Enquirer", so it is not surprising.

As for influence?

Nothing.

Back on the red carpet, after the lively surrounding topics ended, a reporter finally asked the most curious question for everyone, no, it should be two questions - the first question is the hot gossip.

"Lan Li, you and Rooney Mara are colleagues in the same crew, do you know who she talked about in her acceptance speech?"

The reporters on the scene cast their expectant eyes at Lan Li, in addition to Rooney herself, Lan Li and Alfonso should be the closest to the truth, after all, they have just cooperated in "gravity".

Before Lan Li arrived at the scene, the reporters asked Alfonso, but Alfonso was confused, didn't know anything, and obviously didn't know much about the crew; the reporters could only comfort themselves that compared to the shy and introverted Alfonso, Lan Li should be a easier person to communicate with.

After the question came out, Lan Li's first reaction was to be stunned - because he didn't expect that the reporters would actually throw this question out, and then, a shallow smile appeared in the depths of his eyes, and the lines of his whole face became softer, and in the eyes of the reporters, it was likely to mean "informed", and they couldn't help but get excited, and the excitement that was about to move made the scene even more surging.

But they were doomed to disappointment.

"I'm sorry, this is Rooney's personal matter, and you'd better ask the person involved. Lan Li pursed the corners of his lips and put on a gentlemanly and detached posture, "Please believe me, when working in the crew, we are all very professional actors, and we devote ourselves to the performance work without distraction, and leave all our personal affairs outside the crew as much as possible." Unfortunately, there is no way I can help. ”

Reporters couldn't hide their disappointment, but considering Lan Li's consistent dripping, it didn't seem surprising that the result was so good.

What the reporters didn't know was that they were really looking for the wrong question.
