"The crew of 'Drunken Country Ballads'. ”

The staff's answer made Emily a little stunned, but in order not to delay the order of the team's entry, Emily still entered the news hall in a daze.

All the people present were the news media, and it wasn't long before the news began to spread in a boiling vehe. It was only after further lobbying that it was learned that the initiator of the proposal was Lan Li.

In the morning, Lan Li went to watch the "Blue Ruins" of the Director's Fortnight unit, and when he passed by the Cinema Palace, he unexpectedly saw the reporters queuing up in the drizzle, and there were still two hours before the press conference, but the team had already been scaled, and it looked even more spectacular in the cold wind and drizzle.

Out of kindness, Lan Li contacted the Coen brothers in a timely manner to complete the communication.

On the one hand, in the name of the crew, they communicated with the official of the main committee, hoping to open the press center early so that the reporters could wait indoors, but on the other hand, considering that the French are world-famous for their efficiency, they prepared coffee and towels in advance in the name of the crew to avoid colds and colds as much as possible.

Eventually, the reporters entered the press center lobby thirty minutes earlier than expected.

However, all this was not hyped as if it were just part of the organizing committee's work. If it weren't for curiosity, how could the Organizing Committee of the Cannes Film Festival, which has always been cold and arrogant, suddenly become so intimate and ask in passing, then they would never have had the opportunity to know the truth behind it, let alone pass by the anonymous Blue Ceremony.

Looking down at the coffee in her hand, Emily genuinely felt that this was the so-called perfection.

“…… If you don't like it, you can refuse, but don't speculate on other people's good intentions. Everything is hype, everything is a PR image, maybe Hollywood is like this, but the young master has never been like this, he doesn't need it at all, and he doesn't disdain it at all. What kind of eyes and what kind of mind can see what kind of world, please don't tarnish a piece of good intentions with your dirty thoughts, okay?"

There was a bustling noise nearby, Emily turned her head, and then saw Mark Lacanter arguing with red faces, and standing in front of her were two young men in their early twenties, vigorous and flamboyant, dressed in swaggering designer clothes but embarrassed by the rainstorm.

"I'm just stating a fact, not condemning. Now it's like this in the whole of Hollywood and even the whole world, I don't think there's anything wrong with this, even if Lan Li deliberately made this kind of thoughtful move to curry favor with the media for the sake of fame, I think it's normal, and even worth encouraging.

I just didn't think that Lan Li still needed to do this, so I sighed for a moment, and said bad things about him. What are you excited about? What's all the fuss about, you really haven't seen the world, don't you know, it's because of fans like you that it's the most annoying?"

The other party rolled his eyes widely, his face was full of arrogance and impatience, condescending and commanding, and he responded sharply and sharply with an impatient expression.

Mark's whole body trembled with anger, "How dare you? How dare you! The young master doesn't need to be famous, and he doesn't need to curry favor with media like you, don't use your narrow and stupid eyes to speculate on the young master's good intentions." If you don't like it, you can pour out the coffee to show your high esteem and draw a line completely!"

"Isn't it just an ordinary cup of Americano, Jesus Christ! It's like platinum coffee, and there's no gold in it, so I'm not uncommon!" The other party didn't hesitate, and in a fit of anger, he put the coffee cup in his hand on the back of the chair next to him, turned his head and prepared to leave.

"Sorry, please take your own garbage with you. Emily walked up, straightened her back, neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a strong tone.

As an Asian living in New York, Emily knows exactly how to deal with such situations, those ubiquitous invisible discrimination, the high in the bones is the real chilling exclusion and alienation, if she chooses to swallow her anger, the other party will only gain an inch, if she chooses to be aggressive, the other party will only hold a grudge.

Therefore, she needs to be steadfast in emphasizing her position and putting both sides on an equal footing. It's like now.

The other party stopped, and cast his gaze with an inexplicable expression.

Emily re-emphasized, "This is the press conference hall, please clean up your own trash." Is this a basic civic quality, or do you consider yourself a high-ranking news media worker, an uncrowned king, so you can ignore those basic norms?"

The other man was slightly stunned, as if he didn't know how to respond, and his companion standing next to him noticed the sharp gaze projected around him, and quietly bumped his elbow on his arm.

The atmosphere at the scene was faintly wrong, the young man could only clear his throat, raise his head arrogantly, hide his panic and embarrassment, and pretend to be okay and said, "Don't go online for everything, I'm just here for the time being, and I'm going to come and clean up after finding a seat." You Europeans are always like this, pretending to be God. ”

"Sorry, I'm American. Emily smiled.

The other party immediately choked, and then a low laugh sounded around him, and another voice shouted loudly, "Besides, aren't you the ones who like to play God?"

Now, the laughter is even more turbulent.

The two men grabbed their coffee cups, turned away and hid far away in the corner of the press center.

Emily looked at Mark, but Mark was still angry and unwilling to speak, and his eyes were locked on the backs of the two people, which made Emily laugh dumbly, "Mark, there's no need to worry about them." ”

"How can they do this?" Mark was still upset, "The young master never needed these false names, if he wanted to, he just had to raise his arms and shout, and the Don Quixote all over the world was willing to respond, but he didn't, he always just really loved movies and acting." ”

"You know what? When we were in Berlin before, even if we didn't recognize him, he didn't mind and actively cooperated with our questionnaires, and after watching the movie, he was willing to stand with us in front of the cinema and argue about the quality of a movie, just to defend his favorite movie. He treats us sincerely, but what does he get? all those malicious speculations about hype, about false names? Why? Why?"

Mark said hatefully, and his gushing words could not be stopped at all, wantonly venting his inner anger and dissatisfaction.

"Because they don't deserve it. After the words blurted out, Emily was slightly stunned, she didn't expect this sentence herself, because she still didn't know enough about Lan Li, except for the movie, all her understanding stopped at those halos, but now, she took the initiative to start defending Lan Li.

When I realized this, I couldn't help but smile up.

"Because they don't deserve it. Emily reconfirmed, "The truth doesn't need to be clarified. After finishing speaking, there was no need for Emily to explain further, the movements and eyes of the surrounding crowd nodding and looking at each other were the best annotations.

At this time, Mark noticed that the quarrel had attracted everyone's attention, and everyone gathered in a bustling manner, and looked around, and it seemed that everyone's face was filled with a warm look, and there was a different atmosphere between the coat with water droplets and the wet hair.

Emily smiled brightly again and bumped Mark's shoulder on the shoulder, "I believe what you say. ”

Because Emily believes that eyes don't lie. Yesterday at the premiere, she and Lan Li had two brief meetings, there was no exaggerated and deliberate tirade, and there was no proactive PR marketing, but those clear eyes always maintained a trace of focus and enthusiasm, which is the best answer.

Emily then continued, "It's still a while before the press conference officially begins, so tell me, what happened to Lan Li last time he went to Berlin? Did you meet him? And you discussed the film? Which film are you talking about? 'Detachment'?"

At Emily's urging, Mark's gloomy mood finally cleared up.

A group of friends talked word by word, found a place in the press conference hall, sat down one after another, and patiently waited for the opening of the press conference.

……

At 10:30 a.m., the press conference opened on time.

At this time, the entire press conference hall was already full, and there was no end in sight in the black press, and even the aisles and open spaces behind were already full of reporters, and the crowded crowd could not be carefully calculated, but it was certain that more than 500 reporters participated in today's press conference, which made people clearly feel the super popularity of the crew.

Under the watchful eye, the members of the crew of "Drunken Country Folk Songs" appeared in everyone's sight:

Joel Cohen, Ethan Cohen, Ranley Hall, Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan, Garnett Hedland.

The six members sat down behind the long table in a row, everyone was discussing the seating arrangement in a low voice, and then Justin realized that the organizers had placed the nameplate in front of the seat in advance, and they just needed to sit correctly, while Joel and Lan Li, who were standing next to them, did not care about the seats, and talked in a low voice, and both of them chuckled heartily.

So, after taking a seat, the host who was responsible for maintaining order on the scene asked the first question, "Lan Li, what were you talking to Joel about just now, it seems that you are in a really good mood." ”

Lan Li shrugged slightly, but smiled silently.

Joel was quick to talk and took the initiative to reply, "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 a ladies' rude speculation. With that, Joel himself burst out laughing heartily again.
