627 Hand-to-hand combat

"So you mean, I'm a good stand-up comedian?"

A simple sentence to fight back suddenly put Jay in a dilemma. I have to admit that Lan Li's quick response caught Jie off guard, but the title of "King of Talk Shows", although this title is a bit exaggerated, and the host who disagrees is estimated to be a lot, but it is also real, Jie's brain turned, and then said, "Of course, you are an excellent talk show actor." Last time, you collided with Allen, and I was willing to bow down. ”

took retreat as advance, defused Lan Li's attack invisibly, and won a lot of whistles from the audience. This is a talk show, not a debate competition, and the core meaning is not to argue about a winner or loser, but to use the argument to create a spark. Apparently, Jay has done it, "Still, I always think you're a better actor." In fact, I haven't seen your new work yet, and my wife, Mavis, was somewhat interested, but I rejected her proposal. ”

Lan Li didn't speak, just pursed the corners of his mouth, gently tucked his chin, and expressed his approval.

Jie was about to continue, but looking at Lan Li's approving expression, his words couldn't help but stop, and he asked playfully, "Are you agreeing now?"

"Yes, why not?" Lan Li's natural answer made the audience a little confused - did he come to promote the movie? Or did he come to tear down the stage?" Even the 'Titanic' is not everyone's favorite. Every time a couple goes on a date, it's a difficult question to choose what type of movie to choose. ”

Honest, with a hint of sarcasm.

Jay couldn't help but chuckle and asked, "So what movie do you choose when you go on a date?"

"It's not a movie I'm starring in. Lan Li's crisp and neat answer stunned everyone, and then they collectively laughed - this is an answer that there is no way to refute.

Jie raised his chin, looked at Lan Li with a smile and said, "So, you're not the kind of category that names your masculine style?"

It's a classic American joke that, psychologically speaking, is used to describe arrogant and narcissistic machismos who name their masculine parts as if they were their own doppelgangers.

There are many such people in the entertainment industry, the most widely circulated of which is John-Mayer (John-Mayer), who named his special part David Duke (David-Duke), Duke also means duke, which shows his cherishing and respectful attitude. In fraternities, men always make similar jokes with each other.

In this regard, Lan Li, who was born in the aristocracy, was naturally no stranger, but he had no intention of responding positively, "Listen to you, are you such a category?"

Jie sat behind the desk, like a news anchor, his lower body was hidden behind the desk, but under Lan Li's sight, he felt extremely naked. However, Jaco won't throw in easily, chuckling, "It seems that you know a lot about this, too. The subtext is that Lance and John Meyer are the same kind of people, "but, I won't ask, and I don't want to know." He deliberately raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, as if to clarify that he had no interest in men.

With Jay's playful expression, the laughter at the scene was completely out of control.

Lan Li was still not flustered, frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "What topic did we discuss before this?" The meaning behind the rhetorical question seemed to say: The topic was obviously provoked by you, and now you are pushing it to me? It is not so easy to clarify things.

After asking rhetorically, he pulled the topic back again, and Jay also took advantage of the situation, deliberately restrained his smile, showed a serious look, and pretended to be innocent, "Mavis wanted to watch your latest movie, but I refused." But not because of the subject matter, but because I watched a trailer. ”

Lan Li showed a look of surprise, her eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of her mouth were pulled down, and the look of doubt was extremely obvious.

Without asking, Jay understood what Lan Li meant, "Yes, I watched the trailer, and I still watch the movie trailer occasionally." Although today is the first time the two of them have met, the whole conversation is full of tacit understanding, and the interview process is easy and comfortable for the host and the guests.

"After watching this trailer, I knew I didn't want to watch the movie. Not because the movie is too bad, quite the opposite, because the movie is so good. Jay returned to his topic, paused for a moment, seemed to be lost in thought, and then shook his head, "I don't know how to describe it, so let's watch this trailer together." ”

The voice fell, and the live director started to play the video on the big screen behind him.

Lan Li was a little surprised. Although he doesn't participate in many program recordings, he also knows that in order to promote the movie, the program team will arrange time to play trailers or interesting tidbits, but most of the time it is placed at the end of the interview to avoid interrupting the rhythm of the conversation. Unexpectedly, today Jie did not take the usual path and cut into the video in such a way.

Lan Li cast his gaze towards Jie, but found that Jie had a confident expression, and he knew that this was not an accident, but it was arranged in advance, and the video was probably related to the interview later. So, Lan Li also turned around and joined the audience, looking at the big screen behind him.

The heartwarming piano sound echoed through the studio, and in the melodious melody, the video began to play.

The first scene is Anna sitting in a chair, Simon supporting the armrests with both hands, leaning in, trying to kiss Anna, Anna with a weak smile on the corner of her mouth, gently staggered the position, so that Simon's kiss fell on the corner of her mouth, not the lip flap, and then Sam in a shirt walked out, showing a big smile, Jacob turned his head, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze in an instant, and the loss and confusion in his eyes blurred layer by layer.

The background music is "Firmly believed", the cold and sad main song, like the moonlight falling all over the ground, and the contrast between the two scenes in the video outlines the fragility and sadness.

The whole video is only 90 seconds, and it ends quickly, and the last scene is Jacob and Anna sitting on the bed, Anna is reading poetry, and Jacob is looking at Anna deeply, intently, and tenderly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth gently raised.

There was silence in the studio, and all eyes seemed to be reluctant, unwilling to take it back from the big screen, that abnormal quietness was really too rare for a talk show.

"Whew, is it time to wipe your tears or clean up your emotions?" Lan Li's teasing made the audience come back to their senses, even Jie was half a beat slower, and the lines that were originally prepared were interrupted by Lan Li, but Jie didn't care, and closed the smile on the corner of his mouth, "I think, everyone does need a little time." He followed Lan Li's words.

"When I watched the trailer, I heard the sound of heartbreak. Jay said sincerely, "I don't like that feeling. Because I know that this movie is too real and too beautiful, but it brings sadness. I don't want to see myself crying in the cinema, it makes me feel unmasculine. ”

The last "masculine masculine", with its rather comical tone, is clearly an ironic use that succeeds in summoning laughter. It can be seen that the audience is crying and laughing, so they are not embarrassed.

"Lan Li, is this a sad movie?" Jay once again threw the topic to Lan Li.

"What kind of people see what kind of stories. I don't know, there is a little princess living inside you, and it seems to me that it is a comedy. Lan Li replied in a mocking manner, causing the audience to laugh.

And Jay was not in a hurry, and then replied, "Whew, it scared me, I thought you were going to tell me that this is an action movie full of male hormones." As he spoke, Jie's gaze also glanced at Lan Li's lower body, which invisibly fit the ridicule about "important parts of men" just now.

Lan Li clearly understood what Jie meant, but deliberately distorted, "Were you flirting with me just now?" is also the stalk before the response, but it is more powerful in the understatement, all the audience clapped and laughed, even Jie was stunned, and shook his head again and again with a smile. In a few consecutive hand-to-hand encounters, Lan Li not only did not fall behind, but also faintly gained an advantage. This is really rare.

"I'm serious. Jay didn't continue to entangle, and regained the initiative, "This trailer just now is really heartbreaking warning, especially the soundtrack, which has a feeling that people want to cry but can't cry." Mavis wanted to go to the cinema because of this song, and I refused to watch it because of this song. ”

Lan Li chuckled, and instead of answering immediately, he touched his chin. This made the audience stunned, was this question difficult just now?

The interval was only a second, and Lan Li spoke, "Actually, this is not our official cut trailer. Carefully linking all the clues, Lan Li also had to admire, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose greatly, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a video edited by fans." ”

Rumble!

Everyone was shocked, including Jay.

Looking at Jie's stunned expression, Lan Li laughed and nodded again in affirmation, "Before the official release of the movie, our crew edited a total of seven trailers. ”

One before the release of Sundance, one after the Sundance award, one before the release in Toronto, one after the affirmation in Toronto, in addition to the release of one on Valentine's Day, one before the release, and the last one before the full release. Just this one detail can be seen that Focus Pictures' publicity is methodical, step-by-step, and well-organized.

But none of the seven trailers had this video just now. I think it should be the fans who picked out the clips from these seven trailers and edited the video you just saw. This is Lan Li's speculation, the most reliable speculation.
