The laughter really couldn't stop at all, Jimmy had to rub his stiff facial muscles, and then said helplessly and excitedly to the camera, "I know, I know, we've missed the commercial time, the director is standing behind the camera and jumping, let's go through the commercial first, and when we come back, we will continue to discuss the work he is releasing with Lan Li." ”

Filming in the studio paused.

Jimmy turned his head to look at Lan Li, his smile still not able to retract, "I'm sorry, Lan Li, I'm serious. According to the original plan, our show should have finished recording by now, but today's recording is really good, we haven't been able to officially cut into the movie yet, if you want, can we extend the recording time a little bit? I know I know, it's not a good situation in advance, and I'm very sorry, but the show is so good, I really hope the audience can get a good feel for your humor. ”

He talked a lot about it, but Jimmy never got any response, which made him nervous a little bit, and Jimmy couldn't tell whether the rumors about Lan Li were true or false, and Jimmy couldn't tell the difference, in the final analysis, it still needs to meet head-on to be able to know. Now, in the workplace where they met for the first time, there was such an accident, and Jimmy was at a loss, and Lan Li's silence made him even more anxious.

Just as Jimmy was about to start talking about a joke gag, "Okay!" Lan Li nodded and gave an affirmative answer, because it was so crisp and neat that Jimmy was a little stunned and couldn't turn his brain, he had to ask again, "Are you sure? If you don't want to, we can stop it now." ”

"Really?" Lan Li asked with great interest, and then Jimmy was directly stunned, definitely not just denying it, stuck in an awkward place.

Immediately, Jimmy saw a smile appear in Lan Li's eyes, and then he realized that he had been tricked, he dared to look at Lan Li angrily, he stopped talking, endured and endured, or didn't hold back, and laughed directly, "So, is this revenge?" for the prank just now.

Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, "You underestimate me." ”

Just this little ridicule? It can't be regarded as revenge at all, and it is far from real revenge.

Jimmy looked at Lan Li carefully, and then finally understood Lan Li's humorous rhythm, thought about it seriously, and then laughed again, shaking his head again and again, "Justin warned me that I must be careful, but now it seems that his warning is still not specific enough, you are much more dangerous than you imagined, I was fooled." ”

"It's your show, you're the captain and you want to get off the boat at any time, no problem. Lan Li said jokingly with a smile in his eyes.

Jimmy leaned back in his chair, "It's because I'm the captain that I can't give up the rudder, can't I? ”

Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips and asked completely seriously, "Do you need me to leave now?"

Isn't the answer obvious?

Jimmy spread his hands to express his helplessness, but before he could continue to complain, the on-site director was already prompting that the break was over and he could prepare to record again, so the topic was cut off here, even if it was just a brief chat between the breaks, the tacit understanding between the two was slowly completing the run-in.

"Welcome back, audience friends, the second guest of today's is still Lan Li-Hall. Jimmy quickly cut to the point in the most concise way possible, and then turned to look at Lan Li, "Before the commercial, we talked about the 'Harry Potter' series, we all know that this is a British movie, in which all the actors have to speak in English, so far, you have never shown your English voice in a movie, right?"

Lan Li didn't answer immediately, but raised his chin slightly and looked at Jimmy with interest.

Jimmy touched his cheek, "What's wrong? Could it be that the makeup artist just made up too much powder?" Now that Jimmy was relaxed, his humorous baggage was finally back to normal.

In the midst of a chuckle, Lan Li smiled and said, "No, I just didn't expect you to bring up this topic, I thought that American evening talk shows should not be interested." ”

Regarding performance accents, in fact, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom all have their own accents, but the American accents are relatively less complicated, and the difference is objective, but not so distinct, plus the population of North America is always in a state of continuous mobility, unless it is a Western movie, the accent of the actor is not the focus during the performance.

In European films, whether it's the regional accent of the native language or the non-vowel English pronunciation, the difference in detail is an essential part of the performance. Therefore, in British talk shows, the host often mentions the English voice, especially when American actors go to the UK to promote, the frequency of appearances is ridiculously high.

In fact, even the British themselves are very, very fond of complaining about the English pronunciation, not to mention the pronunciation of Liverpool, Newcastle, the Scottish Highlands, etc., even in London, the pronunciation of different areas is different, revealing everyone's origin and class.

Jimmy smiled and expressed his thoughts, "Actually, I think it's a very interesting discovery, during your promotional period, all the accents are still standard English, but in the movie it's a different pronunciation, which further distinguishes the character from reality, and I can't help but start to wonder, what is it like to use English to perform?"

"I guess, you didn't watch the stage play of 'Les Miserables.' Lan Li said meaningfully that in this play, Lan Li uses English pronunciation to perform, although the original work is from France, but after the adaptation, all the actors use English pronunciation. However, it is not the standard aristocratic pronunciation, but the original pronunciation of the dragon and snake, which fits the times and class.

Jimmy's mouth opened slightly, and he was about to quibble, but finally responded in a different way, "Are you ready to continue attacking me now?"

Lan Li pursed her lips and chuckled, "Yes, I haven't starred in any British movies so far, do you know what the funniest thing is? In 'Love Crazy', I play an American boy, and Felicity plays a British girl from London who came to study in the United States, but in fact, Felicity is from Birmingham and I'm from London, and it was really interesting when we were adjusting our accents. ”

"So...... Birmingham and London accents are different?" Jimmy's eyes rolled, and he asked the question cautiously, but like a game of minesweeper, lest he step on a mine.

"Ha, yes. Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "In fact, even in London, the accents of East London and West London are different. ”

"Wow, can I understand that Manhattan and Brooklyn have different accents, and in New Jersey, it's another world?"

Lan Li didn't answer, but said, "Yo, man, are you sure it's okay to say that?" It's a Brooklyn street accent, to be precise, the pronunciation doesn't change drastically, it's more about rhythm and vocabulary, it's more street, "I don't think the accent in New Jersey is so different, at least, we don't live in Canada." It's a New Jersey accent, and the difference in pronunciation is really perceptible," but we're not trying to discriminate against anyone, you know, we're just stating the objective facts. Finally, there is the New York accent, starting with the intonation of voice, to the choice of words and sentences, everything is different, and the most important thing is the demeanor, with a kind of "I am the center of the world" pride but pretending to be casual.

There were three different accents in a short sentence, and the audience began to whistle, and Jimmy couldn't stop laughing, this ability is really not something ordinary people can achieve.

There are differences in accents between different parts of the East Coast of the North American continent, but that "difference" is pediatric compared to that of London.

Jimmy laughed maniacally, and had to control his expression, and then said, "What about the London sounds? Wait, wait, I did a little research in advance, and even the London sounds are just as different, just like the Queen's pronunciation now, I mean, is different in addition to the vocabulary. ”

"Jimmy, are you sure you want to talk about it on the talk show? I think it's not too nice that the audience has started to switch the stage now, why don't we talk about 'Interstellar' first, and then come back to talk about these things?" Lan Li directly ignored the excited Jimmy and responded in a different way.

The audience immediately burst into laughter.

Jimmy spread his hands as well, "Please, when will we be able to invite a nobleman to give us a demonstration?"

Hereditary aristocracy?Just when everyone had forgotten about it, Jimmy actually threw it out again, and it worked really well.

Lan Li suddenly looked at Jimmy, "Have you been preparing to say this all along?"

Jimmy nodded his head in acknowledgement, like a prank-up boy who has succeeded in his prank, "I've been looking for an opportunity today, haha!"

Lan Li spread his hands, "I guess, Benedict Cumberbatch hasn't scheduled to appear in the show yet?"

"Is Benedict a standard London accent too?" asked Jimmy, curiously, "All I know is that Colin Firth is standard, after all, he won an Oscar, didn't he?"

Benedict was in a particular situation, having grown up in West Sussex, attending Harrow College in secondary school and Manchester for university, and his accent was more complex, largely influenced by West Sussex. However, he has been honing in London's West End for many years, and his accent has gradually adjusted.

"Yes, he's London, but Colin Firth is from Hampshire, and of course his London voice is very good, and there's no flaw in 'The King's Speech'. Lan Li replied in the affirmative.

Jimmy's jaw was almost dislocated, "You mean, Colin Firth isn't the standard London voice?"
