713 Angry at the crown
Cornell smiled smugly, he did it, he finally did it! He finally tore Lan Li's mask: the mask that had always been elegant and calm, always high, always light and breezy, revealing the real face hidden behind it ugly, vulgar, bad, mean, arrogant, cunning, treacherous.
Lan Li's pupils shrank slightly, he could see the smugness in Connell's eyes, he knew what it meant, and he knew what Cornell was expecting, but he didn't care. "Didn't you see that? Someone was injured there! There was just a terrible, terrible accident at the scene, but what you care about is the premiere?" Lan Li's voice was so calm, yet so tense, and there was a monstrous anger hidden in the steady voice, blazing.
"But only a small number of people were injured, the situation was not so serious at all, it was just a small chaos, and there were so many people waiting for the premiere at the scene!" Connell still pushed back, "Your attitude is unfair to other fans, they all came to support you, shouldn't you give them an explanation?"
No one wants to offend fans, no one.
"I don't care!" but Lan Li was an exception, word by word, clear and powerful, and imposing, "These people who were injured at the scene, he can be anyone present, including you." If it's you lying on a stretcher right now, trust me, you wouldn't want someone to ask such a stupid and selfish question. So, yes, I don't care!"
The noise at the scene gradually calmed down, but there was still a restless breath floating in the air, and two ambulances did not leave, dealing with the abrasions, sprains and other accidents at the scene, the situation was finally under control, and people's eyes were projected towards Lan Li and Cornell.
Not only Cornell, but the other reporters were also excited, and they could clearly feel the saber-rattling offensive surging between Lan Li and Connell. Surprisingly, Lan Li was so angry, even angry, in the face of Cornell's trap problem, Lan Li did not hesitate at all, a sentence of "I don't care", and the emotions that erupted in an instant pressed Connell in place, unable to make a sound at all.
The blue ceremony in the night is so strange. A simple white shirt with light blue jeans, he looks like a college student who has not yet graduated, young and youthful, and he is embarrassed all over his body, without any decency at all, but the face covered with stains bursts out with a resolute look, and his deep eyes are staring at Cornell deadly, bursting with a dangerous aura, tough, iron-blooded, and sharp.
This is not the familiar blue ceremony, at least not the gentlemanly blue ceremony. But such a blue gift is so real and so powerful. The gaze is involuntarily projected onto the past, before the brain can make a judgment.
"Young Master, I support you!" someone next to him shouted abruptly, and exploded like thunder in the faint noise.
"No!" Lan Li didn't look back at all, and directly raised his voice to reply, so tough, so direct, and even so iron-fisted, with a hint of evil in his cold tone, stunned that the audience around him was stunned, and was so frightened that they didn't know how to react for a while.
No one dares to offend the fans, no one. But, is there really no one?
Lan Li closed his eyes and stood in place, trying to calm the emotions rolling in his chest, but it was really not an easy task. Tonight's accident, it was avoidable, and furthermore, the chaos at JFK, the disaster at tonight's premiere, it could have been avoided.
Lan Li knows how rare the support of fans is, and this is also an important motivation for him to keep moving forward. But what he hopes is that he can bring positive hope to his fans, and not hurt anyone because of this heavy support.
Paul raised his hand worriedly, patted Lan Li's shoulder, and tried to express comfort, but Lan Li's muscles tightened, and he quietly got rid of Paul's palm, he turned around directly, and said to the fans in front of him, "I am not the Lord of the Rings written by Tolkien, nor the Deathly Hallows that Voldemort hid, so ...... Calm down, please, okay?"
There was a hint of banter, self-deprecation, and ridicule in those helpless words, and the tense atmosphere suddenly became joyful, and many people let out a low laugh, and then someone shouted, "Master, I love you!"
Lan Li followed the voice and replied, "Thank you." But you should love yourself a little more, otherwise your mother will be disappointed. ”
This time, not only fans, but even Jennifer, Ryan and others couldn't help laughing. The panic and apprehension on the red carpet gradually dissipated into the night.
Lan Li turned his head to look around and let out a long breath, "Everyone take care of themselves first, as for the premiere...... That's not the most important thing right now. "Movies, even if they don't have premieres, are still coming out, and that's not something to worry about.
Then Lan Li found the figure of Hope Baez, walked up quickly, and looked at Tessa, William and the others standing next to him, but he didn't have time to say hello, just nodded and said quickly, "Guys, can you please organize the situation on the spot?" to ensure everyone's safety and physical condition, I will leave Roy here, if there is any situation, you can go directly to him, okay?"
"Don't worry, young master, leave the matter here to us. Hope puffed up his chest and said confidently and firmly. Looking at the embarrassed and exhausted Lan Li in front of her, she hesitated for a moment, and then added, "Tonight was just an accident, it's not your fault. ”
"I know. Lan Li showed a shallow arc, but he was full of exhaustion, and calmed down in a blink of an eye, "I know it's not my fault. But, after all, there are still people who need to shoulder the responsibility. After speaking, Lan Li's gaze fell on these familiar and unfamiliar faces one by one, and he still couldn't say anything after all, just nodded, "Hard!" and turned to leave.
After turning around, Lan Li and Roy explained the situation, and then beckoned their friends to walk quickly towards the venue of the premiere. How tonight's premiere should be arranged, it's not up to Lan Li alone, it's not Seth Logan alone, they need to ask the producers, they need to ask the head of Lionsgate...... There is still a lot to deal with after this accident.
"Lan Li?" Connell looked at Lan Li's back in a daze, Lan Li actually left like this, left...... It's not over yet, the interview isn't over yet, the-for-tat isn't over yet! The conversation just now was only halfway through, and was unexpectedly interrupted by the audience, and Cornell was still waiting for Lan Li to turn around and continue.
However, Lan Li left like this, without any response, without any words, not even any eyes, as if Cornell had been completely forgotten and was directly left aside.
shouted, but it didn't make Lan Li's footsteps stop, not even the slightest hesitation, which made Cornell's anger ignite again, and he roared loudly with his neck stalked, "Lan Li-Hall!" However, it was just in vain, and the figures of Lan Li and his friends disappeared from the far end of sight in a blink of an eye, and the entire interview area became empty.
"Grass!" Cornell blurted out, his depression could not be vented at all, he subconsciously raised the idea in his hand, and wanted to smash it impulsively, but reason stopped him at the last moment, and his hand movements stopped. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gavin Hunter walking by.
They had known each other for many years, but at this time, Gavin looked at him with a look of disdain and pity, which made Cornell's emotions suddenly explode, "What?"
Gavin shook his head slightly, "Cornell, it shouldn't be like this. "They can dig out the news breaking points, but they can't compromise their means for the sake of the news, otherwise, what is the difference between them and those supermarket tabloids? The reason why reporters are reporters is not because they are noble or noble, but because they have a bottom line and professional ethics.
Just now, Cornell crossed that line.
"Don't look at me like that. Cornell spat out, "Don't think you're nobler than me, we're all the same." Such a look just makes you look more hypocritical. With that, Cornell didn't pay any more attention to Gavin, turned around and left.
The premiere, it's not over yet.
After the chaos at the scene gradually calmed down, after nearly forty minutes of sorting and combing, order was restored, most of the audience stayed, did not leave, and there were still more than 4,000 people in front of Lincoln Center, and the excitement and noise of the scene did not diminish in the slightest. Fortunately, the situation did not completely get out of control, which is a blessing in the midst of misfortune.
After some deliberations, Lionsgate finally decided not to cancel the premiere, but to postpone it later.
The screening, which was originally scheduled to start at 7 p.m., has now been postponed to 9 p.m., and at the same time, there is no admission fee for the premiere, and more than 1,000 spectators can enter the screening hall on a first-come, first-served basis.
Not only that, but the main creative staff led by Lan Li and Seth also paid out of their own pockets to arrange five food trucks to arrive at Lincoln Center to solve the dinner problem of all audiences.
This accident came to a temporary end in this way.
Standing in the courtyard of Juilliard, looking up to see the navy blue sky of New York, Nathan's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Lauren is fine." After diagnosis, it was determined that it was only a traumatic injury, and now that the wound has been repaired, pay attention not to touch the water for the next period of time, and there will be no other problems......" Nathan's babbling words were still ringing in his ears, and the corners of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, and it was rare that he didn't interrupt Nathan, just listened quietly.
