From Lan Li's description, Jimmy immediately captured the key message, "You mean, you misremembered the date?"

The audience had begun to laugh again.

Lan Li shrugged helplessly, "Yes, I misremembered the date. In fact, I knew I couldn't remember the information, so I made a mark on my phone's calendar when I got back, but here's the problem, I also marked the wrong date when I did. The laughter from the scene interrupted Lan Li's story, and he didn't mind, turning his head to look at the audience, "Yes, you understand now, why did I write Jimmy Fallon as Jimmy Canmore, right?"

Standing ovation!

Such self-deprecating ridicule and ridicule are awe-inspiring! At a time when everyone had almost forgotten the opening accident, Lan Li took the initiative to mention it in such a way, without the slightest concern for his own image, and the humor he created naturally increased exponentially.

Jimmy laughs again, trying to say something, but he can't say it because he's laughing so hard.

Lan Li continued her story, "At that time, we were gathering in Alberta, Canada, to photograph a ravaged Earth. I've just finished a series of 'Gravity' movie campaigns, and I haven't been able to fully recover from my condition......"

"Yes, yes, I know. Jimmy nodded in agreement, "The publicity period is really tiring, even more tiring than the filming itself." ”

"Exactly!" Lan Li's eyes lit up, he found a soulmate, and his words became a little excited, "I vaguely remember that the party should have been on Saturday, and I woke up early on Saturday morning, but because I had been reading the script the night before, it was a very complicated and magnificent script, I had to spend a lot of time reading it carefully, and when I woke up in the morning, I couldn't help but want to lie in bed." ”

"Even if they hadn't read the script the night before, who wouldn't want to stay in bed on Saturday?" added Jimmy, which won a chorus of approval.

Lan Li chuckled, "The story about me getting up contains too many secrets, so I won't say more." "The point is, when I got up, I resisted the urge to miss the party, I mean, it was a private party that the director and producer had together. ”

"Haha, you won't want to miss it! Although I've heard that Chris's party is very boring, I'm sure it's just a rumor. Jimmy deliberately made a gesture of zipping up his mouth, with a grim expression on his face, as if his freedom to speak was forbidden by Nolan.

The vivid expression made the studio jubilant again.

"I'm not going to make any comments. Lan Li smiled and dodged Jimmy's trap.

Jimmy winked at Lan Li and seemed to say, "Hey, you dodged the bullet?"

Lan Li ignored Jimmy and continued with a smile, "Here's the situation, I picked up my phone, checked the date, and found out that it was actually Sunday! I let out a long breath and couldn't help but rejoice: what a terrible thing it would be if I showed up at the door of Chris and Emma's temporary residence on Saturday only to find that there was no party going on at all, and in any social situation, it must be avoided, and we don't want our hosts to be embarrassed, do we?"

There is no need to continue listening, now that you can make up the picture in your brain, the laughter can't help but burst out: I never thought that Lan Li would be like this in private.

And then, it just happened. The next day, I showed up at the door of Emma and Chris's rented apartment, only to find that there was no sign of a party at all. Lan Li pursed the corners of his lips with a loveless expression, and the laughter and applause on the scene were mixed and surged.

Jimmy laughed outright, "So, what the hell happened, and how did Chris and Emma look when they came over to open the door?"

"God. Lan Li spread her hands and rolled her eyes, "Chris's first words were: We all thought you were deliberately not attending yesterday's party. ”

"Haha! haha!" Jimmy clapped his hands and laughed, "You mean, they all thought you were playing big on purpose." ”

"Yes, the first reaction in my mind is, how bad is my reputation in Hollywood right now, that they wouldn't even want to call me to make sure, and then decide that I was playing a big game and being absent?" Lan Li said with wide eyes and an innocent face.

Jimmy made up his head again, slapped the table and laughed, "I think there's another possibility, and that's that they don't even dare to ask you for verification." Because you are Lan Li-Hall, you have the right to go to any party, and you have the right to refuse any party, which is your freedom. ”

Truly.

Lan Li laughed dumbly, "I can't refute it. So, now that the answer is revealed? I don't really like parties, it's been all over Hollywood, isn't it? Thinking about it, I suddenly feel like I'm very boring, you see, I don't know how to joke, I don't like parties, I don't like to socialize, I have a bad temper, God, even I'm starting to hate myself, are you sure anyone wants to be friends with me?"

The audience burst into laughter in a real sense.

Self-deprecation is self-deprecation, but what Lan Li didn't say was that at that private party, Thomas Tule, another producer of "Interstellar", was also present, and he had enough reason to believe that Lan Li's absence was a provocation from Lan Li. Even if it wasn't the trigger for later events, at least it was a continuous accumulation of grievances.

In Matthew's words, "You know how to provoke someone." Intentionally, unintentionally, it's all true. ”

Of course, Lan Li can mend a relationship at any time if he wants to, and his social skills are also his strength, and in many cases, he can make himself very convincing.

Nolan and Emma didn't pay much attention to the absence from the party, and other actors in the same cast such as Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, and Michael Kane didn't care, because Lan Li still found a way to remedy it afterwards - not a simple and rough collective solution, but a one-to-one expression of sincerity, and then slowly explained the misunderstanding, and finally re-established a relationship of mutual trust.

"So, what happened after that?" Jimmy continued the story after the hilarious laugh.

A warm smile appeared on Lan Li's face, "None of you expected the answer, Chris and Emma's kids ran out to greet me, they welcomed me with a warm hug, and although there was no party, I still had a wonderful afternoon in their apartment." ”

This was indeed an unexpected answer, and Lan Li went on to conclude in passing, "Actually, I'm not sure if Chris mentioned it in the previous promotional period, when I visited Chris's home in London to discuss the work. ”

"Didn't you remember the wrong date that time?" said Jimmy.

"Ha, no, I didn't remember it wrong, because my assistant helped register the date, and he didn't remember it wrong. Lan Li also calmly admitted his "shortcomings", and teased himself again, "At that time, we seriously discussed the role of this movie, and I also got to know the group of children, and we had a good time." ”

"So, they welcomed you warmly?" Jimmy repeated, and after receiving Lan Li's affirmative reply, he showed a surprised expression, "I really didn't expect that you were actually a child king? I, I mean, I always thought that your image was more cold and more gentlemanly......"

"Gao Leng?" Lan Li looked at Jimmy with a look full of question marks.

Jimmy raised his hands in surrender, but his words didn't pause, "It's just my personal feeling, you know, I've always felt that you're very professional, very polite, very gentlemanly, so, you don't feel like a personality who mingles with children, and I even suspect at one point that you may not like children very much." ”

"Oh, do you mean, rolling on the grass with the kids, and then painting your own face in a mess with colored pencils, or even playing around with Barbie ballet?" Lan Li gushed, and then saw Jimmy's confused expression, which made Lan Li laugh.

Jimmy shook his head repeatedly, "I'm not sure what you're describing in your head, and I don't want to know, it sounds like a horrible hell...... If it were me, I would never want to mix it up. Jimmy's spit sparked laughter again, "I mean, you don't look like you're playing around with kids, but judging by today's show, no one in Hollywood really knows you right now, right?"

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

Jimmy sneered and laughed, "But it's also very rare, you know, at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, your live show sparked a lot of discussion, but unfortunately, I personally missed that opportunity, and I didn't have the opportunity to meet you until today, I think, it's my honor." ”

Jimmy has gone through a transformation process from the inhibitions and apprehensions before recording the show to the current one, and he can't help but sigh again, "I finally know why so many people like you, I mean, you can be very, very convincing and charismatic if you want to." ”

Lan Li laughed happily, Jimmy was confused, not understanding what was funny about his words, Lan Li took the initiative to explain, "No, no, it's just that your words remind me of a friend who once said something similar: If I don't become an actor, then I should be suitable to be a lobbyist, and I should be able to start a career in Washington." ”

The original quote comes from Matthew, and the full version adds one more sentence: You are very suitable to be a liar.

Can Matthew and Jimmy's words be regarded as interpreting Lan Li from different perspectives?
