1907 Blurred focus
Paul Walker was a little nervous, although he knew that everything in front of him was a routine he was familiar with, but the reappearance after half a year away from the spotlight, especially after the accident at the beginning of the year, facing the media and the public again, that kind of mixed psychology is really difficult to describe.
Taking a deep breath, Paul left the carriage and stood on the red carpet with his feet, the noise mixed with a light like a boiling heat wave, and the dull air that had been stagnant all afternoon almost froze and made Paul feel the urge to turn and run away.
Then Paul saw the Rite of Lam.
Although he had seen Lan Li's outfit before leaving, but at this time, when he saw Lan Li standing on the red carpet again in a serious but chic manner, the sense of absurdity became more and more distinct, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise. It was such a pause, and the car with the door closed drove away.
"Huh?" Paul turned around and was about to greet the car, trying to stop it, he hadn't made a decision about whether to stay or run away, why was he suddenly cut off?
Paul was dumbfounded, is it too late to summon it back?
Slowly, Paul turned around and cast a confused gaze towards Lan Li, but then he saw that the light on the corner of Lan Li's mouth was faintly flickering - could it be that Lan Li was making trouble behind his back? This is very, very likely, Paul shook his head helplessly and amusefully, his smile still couldn't help but rise, and finally looked back at the car that was no longer visible, Paul still took a step towards Lan Li's position.
After a slow beat, the reporters finally realized that the heavyweight appeared on the stage-
Although in terms of popularity and status, Paul is far from being able to compare with Lan Li, but in the last half a year, he first had an accident and then withdrew from the "Fast and Thrill/Emotional" series, all of which has made Paul's discussion value skyrocket, and he is definitely the hottest figure in recent times.
There are so many questions that reporters want to ask about Paul, can I finally ask a hearty question today?
Faster than ideas - the major reporters have already practiced a stunt: no matter what, press the shutter first, and think about other things later, so the silver flash is like a heavenly waterfall rushing down, and the clattering roar instantly drowned the entire Chinese theater, vividly interpreting what is called "enough to brighten the blind" light, so that all the audience in the audience briefly fell into a snow blindness.
Paul had never faced such a scene, even the premiere of the "Fast and Thrilling" series could not be compared at all, and the momentum of the turbulent waves almost made Paul a little unsteady, and every cell in his body was screaming "back away", the scene was really terrifying.
After a slight pause, Paul needed to get used to the stinging pain in his eyes. In just half a year, he had almost forgotten the power of the premiere flash, and today's silver waterfall was even more ferocious than any premiere in his memory, and all the silver halos poured into his pupils unreasonably, so that now the entire field of vision turned black, leaving only countless silver flecks of light flickering in the black that could not be seen.
Immediately afterward, Paul heard the gloating voice of Lam Lee, "I thought you were ready. ”
Although he didn't see Lan Li's expression, Paul could imagine the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth from his voice, which made him spread his hands speechlessly, "Shouldn't you come over to help?" Then, Paul could feel Lan Li coming to his side, and the sense of space brought by the tall figure squeezing the air calmed Paul's irritable mood a little, "I thought I was ready, but who knew that the reporters on the scene went crazy today?"
Paul also complained in a rare way, and then added, "How did I never know that they were so interested in me?" is not a complaint, but a fact, in the past, at the premiere of "Fast and Thrilled", the long guns and short guns of reporters were always aimed at Vin Diesel, and even Michel Rodriguez, but not Paul Walker.
Whether it is an interview or a dialogue, it is difficult for Paul, as a "good boy", it is difficult to attract the enthusiasm of reporters, either he knows how to hype or has distinctive characteristics, and he is good at talking or being taciturn, which is a magic weapon to awaken the attention of reporters, otherwise, reporters are indeed lacking in interest, and they don't even bother to divert their attention.
"You know, if they don't show a little concern, netizens will probably curse them for being cold-blooded. Lan Li teased in a brisk tone.
It was originally a sad and sensitive topic - being noticed because of an accident that narrowly escaped death was not a recommended way of "hype", but Lan Li interpreted it from such a perspective, with a mockery of entertainment to death, Paul immediately caught the banter and laughed happily.
"I think journalists are going to be by you. Paul said in a brisk tone, "I mean it." ”
"Well, in my opinion, an actor and a journalist are Tom and Jerry's relationship - cat and mouse, the only difference is, are you going to play cat or mouse?" Lan Li said meaningfully.
Paul couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then he stood on the red carpet and began to think seriously.
The line of sight gradually returned to normal, and finally got used to the flash attack again, and then Paul followed Lan Li on the red carpet, although Lan Li arrived early, but in fact, now the two of them officially appeared for the first time on the red carpet platform built at the entrance of the Chinese National Theater, and the reporters in the audience frantically pressed the shutter as if they had lost their minds, and the clicking sound was like a storm, which was sweeping the entire Hollywood.
But Paul was still immersed in his own thoughts, and just subconsciously followed behind Lan Li, stepping forward step by step, so that when the two of them stopped in the reporter interview area, in the face of the bombardment of reporters, Paul became the one who asked the question, "If you have a choice, would you like to be Tom or Jerry?"
This brainless question made the reporters in the audience collectively confused: Paul, what's wrong?
Lan Li, who was standing next to him, laughed happily, but Lan Li had no intention of relieving the reporters, although all the reporters in the audience turned their eyes to Lan Li for help, Lan Li was still smiling, standing by with his hands behind his back, and faintly took a small step back to give all the focus to Paul, as if today's protagonist should be Paul.
Paul also sensed the direction of the reporters' gaze, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lan Li helplessly - this is the second or third time since arriving at the premiere today? The feeling of helplessness really lingered, but it added a touch of absurdity, which made Paul's tension completely relaxed.
"Paul, what's the point of that question? Are you implying that your relationship with Vin Diesel is Tom and Jerry?"
Naturally, the reporters did not answer honestly, but asked back, and at the same time once again showed their associative power -- can this be associated with Diesel? Is this a hard connection? Sure enough, the reporters' ability to read pictures and tell stories is admirable and worthy of the name.
Paul is not Lan Li, he has no way to fight back, in fact, he is basically an honest person type who asks what to answer something, "No, no, no, Fan and I are friends, we have known each other for more than ten years, I don't think we are in a relationship between Jerry and Tom." ”
The good questions become boring in Paul's answers.
The reporters could only look at each other, is the familiar Paul back?"Then why did you ask that question?"The best way to interview Paul is to hit the ball straight and not beat around the bush.
"Lan Li just mentioned cat and mouse to me. Paul glanced at Lan Li, as if asking Lan Li's opinion, and found that Lan Li didn't care, so he said honestly, "He said that the relationship between actors and journalists is like this." ”
This......
The reporters at the scene suddenly blushed, so who is Tom and who is Jerry? After the eyes of the audience fell on Lan Li, they took it back one by one, such a question was obviously to make Lan Li laugh at himself, so that they should not be so stupid to bump into it.
So all eyes turned back to Paul, about his physical recovery, about "Fast and Furious", about the performance plan, about the accident experience......... All the questions swept towards Paul like a storm, and Paul was conscientious in giving real answers, but the reporters became more and more excessive.
"Regarding the investigation of the accident, there is now evidence that it is all your fault, is it true?"
"How do you feel about someone accusing you of speeding, which resulted in one death and one injury?"
"Did you opt out of Fast & Furious because of PTSD?"
"Have you seen Roger Rodas's family members since the accident?
"Do you think you killed Roger?"
One sharp question after another came to his face, and Paul gradually became overwhelmed, and then he heard a throat-clearing cough in his ear, interrupting Paul's answer, and then attracting all his attention, and saw that the corner of Lan Li's mouth still had a shallow smile on his lips, "Why didn't I know, now that I need a lawyer's license to become a reporter?"
The reporters paused for a moment.
"If you know that Paul is suffering from PTSD and ask these questions, then what answers do you expect? As for the ins and outs of the accident, I believe that the official answer has been given, and whether there will be legal responsibility in the future, there will be an official report. As for the other questions, Paul has no obligation or responsibility to answer you. You should know how to do it in moderation. ”
An understatement, but with a thick banter and ridicule, contemptuously blocked all the attacks of the reporters present unreasonably.
So, what are journalists going to do?
