491 Escalation
The duel between "Thor" and "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5" is attracting more and more attention-
The first wave is the duel between Lan Li and Chris, which ignites a small flame and sparks some discussion; the second wave is the wave of summer files, which is getting closer and closer to Arbor Day, and people are focusing more and more on this year's summer files, and the topic is gradually heating up.
The third wave is the duel between Lan Li and Natalie, first there are scandals and suspicions, then there is a stand-in entanglement, and then there is a competition between the representatives of Generation Y's acting skills.
This is definitely the hottest topic in this year's summer file, due to the influence of the release time sequence, now the showdown between "Thor" and "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" has faintly become the most anticipated first big drama this summer, as for the "Captain America" vs. "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II)" showdown, there are still nearly two months to come.
After Natalie, the reporters once again targeted Lan Li, and in less than three days, they found Lan Li at the door of Studio Eleven for the second time-
In the same way, the reporters are still not curious about the reason why Lan Li has been here for a while, or maybe they have noticed, but now that the explosion is constantly brewing, there is no time, no spare energy, and no need to pay attention to an independent music studio.
Looking at the reporters in front of him, his eyes flashing with anticipation, involuntarily surging forward, but he kept his position in an orderly manner, watching his every move, waiting for his answer, Lan Li had a strange idea in his mind, feeling that they were like chicks waiting to be fed, and they were hungry.
That's really ......
The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, a shallow smile appeared in his eyes, and he joked, "I thought the summer file would be more busy." โ
What does that mean? The reporters collectively had question mark faces, and when they looked at the past, they looked blankly. The joy is even greater.
Subsequently, it slowed down two beats, and only then did a reporter react, Lan Li was ridiculing them for being idle and having nothing to do, and they looked for him twice in three days.
With a simple sentence and without any dirty words, the reporters on the scene collectively became idlers and fools. But on the contrary, they couldn't refute itโbecause these were their own understandings, and Lan Li didn't say anything, and this feeling of grievance was really indescribable.
Before the Hollywood expedition team in Seattle can be said to be disgraced, running back to Los Angeles in disgrace, many reporters still think that they are not capable enough, exaggerated. Lan Li is just a twenty-one-year-old young man, no matter how sharp his mouth is, can he still compete with a reporter who has been in a hundred battles?
In order to avoid further aggrieved, the reporters immediately changed the topic and brought up Natalie's matter.
"Natalie?" Lan Li raised his eyebrows, only then did he understand the reason for the reporter's appearance, he vaguely remembered that Nathan had reminded him last night, but at that time he was thinking about the arrangement of a song, and he didn't listen carefully, and now he immediately reacted. I don't know what the specific focus of the media attention is, but the hype is here and there.
"We haven't spoken since Toronto, and we don't know how she's doing. This time we were able to meet in the summer file, a wonderful fate, maybe we can say a few words when we meet on some promotional occasions. โ
Lan Li's brisk tone made the reporters look at each other, and everything summed up as: Natalie and I are not friends, not before, and not now. Most likely, the future will not be.
There is no confrontation, but in the understatement, the distance between the two people is clearly drawn, which makes the reporters can't help but think - could it be that behind the stand-in door, there is really a secret hidden? It's just that the truth is estimated to be only known to Lan Li and Natalie, maybe they can add their agents, but these people are impossible to speak. Journalists, no matter how curious they are, are helpless.
What's more, in the interviews of the previous awards season, Lan Li's attitude has always been the same, and now it has just continued, and reporters can't say that "two people are tense", which is really heartbroken.
Subsequently, the reporters once again threw out the question of the box office, the last time everyone was caught off guard by Lan Li, they didn't get a word of truth, and let go of the big fish, today the reporters learned to be obedient, and surrounded Lan Li tightly, 360 degrees in all directions, put out a dragon gate array, and never let go if they didn't get the answer.
Lan Li smiled dumbly, "The decision is not in my hands. A relaxed tone responded, "Of course, I'm looking forward to doing well at the box office." Until then, though, I need the help of Van and Paul. Wait, or should I help them?"
Lan Li also showed a thoughtful expression, then spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders with an innocent look, as if to say, "The control is not here." And the most important thing is that he's just the third protagonist in the movie, so why is all eyes on him, shouldn't they be focusing on Van and Paul?
Then, I saw Lan Li raise his right hand, cross his index and middle fingers, and make a gesture of prayer. Nodding slightly, he turned around and looked at the reporter behind him.
The reporters were stunned and did not get out of the way. However, now that the questions have been answered, how should they continue to ask questions? What questions can they ask? Just like facing Natalie, they also found that there was really too little they could do in the face of Lan Li at this time.
So, the reporters automatically got out of the way, watched Lan Li walk up the steps, nodded politely to everyone, and then walked into the building in front of them. The complacent demeanor seemed to be that the group of reporters in front of him was not a cannibal reporter, but a friendly fan. This...... What the hell is this?
"Ranley-Hall: Looking forward to the success of 'Fast & Excitement 5'. โ
Subsequently, the reporters reported so, and emphasized in the report that Lan Li and Natalie both showed a modest and low-key attitude, but when it came to the box office battle, they both showed confidence and expectation. This summer opening battle is becoming more and more exciting!
"The Opening Battle!"
It was a headline from the U.S. Weekly that officially planted the name for the showdown.
Interestingly, all the media selectively ignored one of the most important facts: "Fast and Thrill/Emotion 5" is not the unveiling work of the summer file, "Thor" is, and the release time of the former is still the spring file, strictly speaking, this should be more of a handover ceremony than a head-to-head showdown.
But apparently, the major media blatantly ignored the matter and began to exaggerate the showdown. Especially the re-confrontation between Natalie and Lan Li -
"As the two most high-profile acting figures of Generation Y, Natalie and Lan Li obviously have different positions in the industry. So says "Us Weekly".
Natalie first appeared on the big screen in 1994 with "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", and it has been 17 years since she not only starred in commercial works such as "Star Wars Prequel", but also just won the Oscar with "Black Swan", which is definitely the leader of Generation Y.
Lan Li only won his first role through the "Pacific War" last year, and won the Emmy Award in one go, and then the two works of "Buried Alive" and "Love Crazy" have reached the sky in one step, receiving a lot of praise, and the momentum of rise is unstoppable. But strictly speaking, his qualifications are still too shallow, and he needs more self-certification.
The status of the two people in the industry is really different.
"But the talent and spirituality of the two men in art is eye-catching. After both of them experienced a good awards season, the commercial works in which the two participated in the showdown began one after the other, and the expectations couldn't help but start rising; โ
The "American Weekly" article hyped up the heat of this duel to a new high, and the Internet buzzed up, and all eyes flocked to Lan Li and Natalie. Even Lan Li tried to divert the target and pull Fan and Paul in, but under the deliberate promotion of the media, the effect was not very obvious, and now people are more and more looking forward to the opening battle of the summer file.
Aware of this situation, Paramount and Universal also realized the importance of hot spots, so Vin Diesel and Paul Walker began to be interviewed, and Anthony Hopkins also began to be interviewed, and they all said that "the showdown between Lan Li and Natalie is worth looking forward to, and of course, the healthy competition at the box office of the movie is also worth encouraging."
Undoubtedly, add another fire.
However, this was bad news for Chris. The situation that had been created was almost ruined, and all eyes were swarmed towards Natalie, which was not what Fisher wanted to see.
Under Fisher's arrangement, several reporters turned their attention to Chris again and asked about Lan Li's attitude, and the extremely simple three-word response - "Good-For-Him", what is going on and what does it mean.
Faced with such a "tricky" question, Chris showed an innocent and helpless expression, "After moving, I tried to contact Lan Li several times, but unfortunately, we were not able to get in touch. However, it is also understandable, after that, Lan Li spent an extremely fulfilling half a year, he is a workaholic, and he is bound to devote himself to his work. The last time I saw the news in Seattle, I was not surprised at all, and that was the Blue Lane I knew. So, that's normal. โ
"You're saying you haven't been in touch since you moved?"
"Hehe, we have to learn to adapt to Hollywood, don't we?"
