148. Topic hype

When Jennifer walked into the studio with Theolod in her arms, the audience rang out with cheers and screams that were familiar to Theolod. He waved to the audience and cameras, hugged Jay Renault, who he hadn't seen in a long time, and gentlemanly waited for Jennifer to take a seat before sitting down on another single sofa next to her.

"Because they know who the guests are tonight, they are very excited. Jay Leno gave a thumbs up to the audience, their cheers almost drowning out his voice, "It makes me wonder every time that they are as quiet as a good baby when I sit here." ”

The audience chuckled a few times at his teasing.

"But as soon as I invited my guests to the stage, and before they even showed up, just announced their names, the bunch started screaming indiscriminately, don't believe me, you see......"

Jay Renault suddenly put on a smiling face, looked at the audience and said, "Let's welcome Jennifer Connelly and Theolod Lechte, both, and say hello to our audience, shall we?"

As if to confirm what Jay Leno said, and as if to cooperate with him, he had just said these two names, and the commotion that had calmed down a little suddenly broke out again, and he suddenly glared at the audience with some hatred: "Guys, be reserved, I only called out my name, and your dream lover hasn't said hello yet!"

There were a few laughs from the audience.

And Theolod, ignoring the other party's troubles, greeted him seriously: "Good evening, friends, long time no see, I remember the last time we met was the year before last......"

"Hey Jay's guys, we actually just met last December......" Jennifer saw Theolod speak in a serious manner, and she waved her hand downward.

The greetings of these two "dream lovers" naturally drove the atmosphere of the audience. Jay Renault's eyes widened exaggeratedly and turned his head to look at his guest: "...... What are you two doing?"

"Hello, didn't you say hello?" Theorod blinked.

"Hey, I'm just giving you an example, so you can see how insignificant I am in the eyes of these bad guys!" Jay Leno covered his eyes helplessly, making a speechless appearance, and only when he heard an exclamation similar to "oh" from the audience did he put down his hand and laughed, "Okay, no kidding, I know they love me." Jennifer, I said back last December that you would definitely be back when you promoted Soul City, and you see, I'm right. ”

"You're right, Jay, it's actually a big deal because I know you're going to be reluctant to let me go if I don't come. Jennifer made a joke.

"Yes, I can't bear you, we can't give up on you, right?" Jay Renault said, glancing at the audience and getting the audience's approval, "and then you brought Theo and Soul City, which makes me happy." Tell me, what is this movie about, I heard that it is a science fiction film?"

"It's a bit of a thriller and suspense element to be exact. Without spoilers, Jennifer said the synopsis of the film given by the filmmaker in a different way, and then mentioned a little bit of information about her role that can be revealed, "And I, in the film, play the wife who was snubbed and abandoned by Theo, a bar singer." ”

"So we can hear you singing in the film?" Jay Renault asked again when he saw Jennifer nod, "You said at the beginning that the movie had a gothic twist...... So what kind of song is punk or rock?"

"No, it's not ny, it's a bit of retro jazz, a new original song, full by Anita Kelsey. ”

"Can you sing a line or two live?"

Jay Reno's request was cheered on by the men in the room, and Theolod applauded in due course. Jennifer saw that everyone was looking forward to it, so she picked up the microphone and simply sang a few words. Her elegant and intellectual voice has a unique charm with jazz music, and Theorod did not go to the scene when she appeared in this scene, but judging from the two lines of the current cappella, it was definitely not bad when she performed at the beginning.

"I'm sorry, I haven't sung it for too long, I forgot about it later, I hope I'm not out of tune. Jennifer gave an embarrassed look.

Oh God, I can't believe Theo, you would abandon such a perfect woman. Jay Renault turned the conversation to Theorod with an accusatory look. As an excellent talk show host, naturally you can't leave out any guest.

When Theolod heard this, he immediately waved his hand and made an innocent look: "No, I don't, I'm innocent, it's John who abandoned." No, it should be said, he didn't either. ”

"How?"

"Hmm...... In order to prevent the producer from calling me after the show is over, I will ask for spoilers and accuse me of spoilers, so let's just say this, this guy is quite unlucky. John is a very complex character, on the one hand, he is trying to find his memory, and at that time his memory is like a blank piece of paper, and on the other hand, he has to doubt his memory, because, as the trailer says, he finds out that he is a murderer. ”

"Haha, John, who is as pure as a blank piece of paper, woke up and suddenly found that he had become a murderer, and he didn't know why he abandoned his wife, was he particularly remorseful at that time?"

"yes, so when he got drunk he hugged the bottle and cried, 'Oh I idiot, what the hell did I do, why should I abandon my Emma, oh it's so painful I can't breathe......"

Theolod's pretended sobbing completely amused the people present, and Jay Leno also looked at him with tears and laughter: "Okay, okay, this is the Theo I know, you just sat quietly on the side and I almost didn't know you." But seriously, Theo, the last time you were on my show was the year before last? Was it that long? You didn't have any talk shows last year?"

"yes, it's incredible, isn't it? I only did a few magazine interviews last year because I had two films last year, one one last year and one next year, and then I ran out of time. ”

"Two?" Jennifer, who didn't pay much attention to Theorod's movements, glanced at him in surprise, as an actor, of course she knew how tiring it was to make a film, especially when studying the script and shaping the body in the early stage, "No wonder I hardly see any news about you." ”

Jay Reynolds is much better informed than Jennifer.

"David Fincher's 'Fight Club' and Anthony Minghella's 'The Genius Ripley', right? He immediately pointed out the two films that kept Theorod busy for a year, but this episode of the program was not an interview with Theorod, but the promotion of "Soul Shifting City", so he skimmed over the topic very cleverly, "You are really dedicated and energetic, Theo, even I, a layman, can hardly imagine how hard it would be to have two movies a year and still be the leading actor." I also heard that you had an accident on the set of "Soul Shifting City"?"

"You mean that. Theolod lifted his cuffs and gestured to him for the tattoo on his arm, "A small accident, it's normal, almost most movies have some small accidents, and the same goes for those stuntmen, it's nothing." ”

"You can't say that. ”

"No accident can be considered 'nothing'. ”

Jay Reynaud and Jennifer both looked at Theolod in unison and objected. Jay Leno saw that Jennifer was on the same side as himself, and thought that no one had revealed any details about the actor at that time, so he immediately took the opportunity to ask: "Jennifer, you quickly enlighten your disobedient 'husband'." ”

"Hey, Jay, you don't know that he is crazy when he acts, and no one can enlighten him, not even Alex. Jennifer shook her head, "Although I wasn't on the set at the time, I heard from our people that this guy hadn't forgotten to act when the accident happened!"

"Oh, I just hadn't been in the drama yet. Theolod raised his forehead as if he was embarrassed.

"That's not what Richard said, he said it was an adjustment you made because of the accident. So later in the movie, you can see that Jay, John's injuries are real, including the scene where Emma bandages John, which is also real, and the scars and alcohol disinfection are not fake. ”

Before Jennifer's exposure, all the news media only mentioned that Theolod was accidentally injured on the set and then performed with injuries, but no one knew the details behind this. So as soon as these words came out, the audience immediately sounded a few gasps, followed by bursts of applause, and the audience seemed to be impressed by Theorod's "dedication", and several Zeo Rod's fanatical fans even had red eyes in distress.

Of course, Theolod knew that he was using his business to hype up the movie, and he had encountered this kind of thing more than once in his previous life, so he made a helpless gesture to the audience and shrugged his shoulders: "It's nothing, right? It's just my instinctive reaction, every actor has to take responsibility for his role and the movie." ”

Seeing that there was another commotion in the audience, Theolod raised his voice slightly, and raised his signature sunny gentle smile at them: "Besides, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to get this tattoo...... yes, yes, that's it, I think it's very cool, what do you think?"

Theolod immediately heard the audience's chorus, and some people even shouted at the top of their voices: "Theo, you are the most handsome, I am willing to take off my pants for you!"

"Don't worry, believe me, Theo also undresses very quickly, when Alex asked him to take it off, he took it off very simply without saying a word, by the way, the full/nude shot is at the beginning of the film. Jennifer winked wickedly and added, pleased to see most of the women in the room screaming uncontrollably.

And Jay Renault also threw out the next topic at the right time: "Oh, Jennifer, Theo, it looks like you two are on good terms?"

"Yes, Theo is a very talented and controllable actor, and filming with him is as exciting as challenging yourself. ”

"Don't tell, Jenny, it's your spirituality that inspires me. ”

"Okay, okay, although you said it last time, let me talk about it as a clichΓ©, so, this photo is really nothing?" Jay Leno pointed to the photo of Theorod and Jennifer making a "scandal" on the screen behind him, and both of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw this photo.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Jay, it's just that the person taking the picture is skilled. ”

"And I hadn't broken up yet. ”

"It's a shame, you two look pretty right. Is this just misplaced? This photographer is too professional, too realistic. ”

"In fact, when the director or actor is particularly shy, there will also be a misplaced 'kissing' shot, as long as the angle is right, how to shoot is quite realistic, I can show you. Theorod said.

"Demonstrative? How's it demonstrated? Are you going to kiss me in the wrong place? Oh, that's embarrassing, I don't want it. Jay Renault said no, but he slid back with his swivel chair to make room for Theorod, and his movements were already explained.

As a result, Theolod had a very standard misplaced kiss with the smug Jay Leno in the face of the whistles of countless audience members protesting or instigating.

It is said that Theolod exploded in the fan forum that night, and all fans expressed envy and jealousy for Jay Renaud, and then spared no effort and rhetoric to praise and praise the dedication of their idols, and some even proposed to perfectly interpret the spirit of the character for their idols even if they were injured, and to charter the venue to contribute to the box office on the day of the release. This mobilization was recognized by many fans of the forum, who spontaneously discussed the time, place and number of chartered sessions.

The next day's entertainment newspaper turned up the background of Theolod's hands at that time, and republished it by integrating the details revealed by Jennifer. Some people think that Theolod is a role model and model among actors, even if he is injured, at that critical moment he thinks not about how to protect himself, but how to keep the quality of the film and the lens.

But others, such as Sean Thorpe and others, are particularly sarcastic:

""Soul Shifting City" actually relied on hyping up its own on-set accident to promote the movie, which is especially rare in film history. And Theolod did not hesitate to use his injury experience in order to promote the movie, which was originally a normal thing but now does not sound noble, but rather a bit nondescript. After all, when he is young, he is naturally impulsive at some times, and if he wants to achieve something on the road to acting, hype is not the best way. ”

For a while, the outside world was noisy again.

As for the party Theolod, after recording the show, until the release of "Soul Shifting City", he was in a state of leisure at home. He rested at home for a few days, found a sunny working day, and drove to the D.N.A. office building.

He had no prior notice or appointment for this visit, and Marshall was in a meeting, so he went straight to his office and waited for Marshall to finish his regular meeting.

He saw a lot of new scripts in the fixed cabinet where Marshall stacked the scripts.

Theolod flipped through them casually, and from the beginning alone, he knew that there were some good scripts in the pile of scripts Marshall had received, in addition to what he called "unnutritious" school comedy, but his agent had never mentioned them to him, and he had told him that there was nothing that could catch his eye recently.

Theolod raised an eyebrow, put the scripts away before the assistant who made his coffee came in, picked up a magazine, and sat on the couch to start the time boringly.
