784 The Meaning of Being an Actor
When the audience and media reporters were about to watch Joanne's jokes, Gu Xiaofan next to him knew that it was time and took over the topic and said, "Can I say something?" ”
"Absolutely. [Full text reading]" Oprah laughed.
"I don't think the people who say this know Joanne, she's by no means a vase, and it's fair to say that without her, Game of Thrones wouldn't have started filming on time."
"Oh? How does this mean? Oprah saw Gu Xiaofan solving the siege for his girlfriend, and couldn't help but look at Gu Xiaofan curiously, thinking that this kid is really not smart, at this time, if you jump out and talk nonsense for her, fans will be disgusted with you.
"Joanne is not only a rookie actor, she is also a language expert in the crew, and she is also the network consultant for our Black Feather Studio." Gu Xiaofan explained:
"In fact, the Valyrian language and Dothraki language in the play "Game of Thrones" are all languages created by Joanne alone."
Oprah suddenly exclaimed and looked at Joanne in surprise: "Is this true?" ”
Joanne breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Gu Xiaofan rescued her, her mother didn't know about this matter, and she didn't care about it, but she didn't expect Gu Xiaofan to bring it up at this time, but instead diverted the attention of the problem.
"Yes." Joanne nodded.
But whether it was the audience at the scene or the media reporters on both sides, they didn't believe Gu Xiaofan's words, and they were muttering one by one: "How is this possible, Gu Xiaofan is covering his girlfriend, this nonsense is too fake." ”
At this time, of course, Oprah will not prove anything, so that even if Joanne says some "fantasy" sentences now, even if she can do it, the audience will think that it is arranged, so she asked curiously:
"As far as I know, creating a language requires knowledge of the grammar of many different languages, Joanne, are you trained in that?"
This question is the biggest question mark in the audience's minds, and Joanne couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiaofan, seeing that he winked at herself, she finally knew what he wanted to do, is it time to announce her identity?
"Since I was 2 years old, I have been learning, English, French, Jewish, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Swahili...... Wait for 15 European languages......" Joanne replied truthfully.
This answer surprised all the audience, it is normal for Europeans to generally have 3 or 4 European languages, because many European countries are English-speaking languages, just like Chinese dialects are different.
It is not uncommon for many scholars in Europe to be able to master 7 or 8 languages...... But 15 languages...... French, Russian, Spanish, and Swahili are all polar opposites of English...... This is no longer a level that normal people can reach.
Many celebrity companies package their actors as very talented, can speak several different foreign languages, etc., but they don't blow such exaggerated cows, right?
Is Joanne lying? But why would she tell a lie that everyone has debunked?
Oprah also knew at this time that Joanne's identity was definitely very promising, of course she could continue to ask, but if she got to the bottom of it, it would seem that she was deliberate, and the question could already be pointed.
Because, at this moment, there must have been a lot of media digging into Joanne's identity.
During this time, the Scottish side has kept Joanne's identity strictly secret, and she has been living in the castle for more than ten years, not even going to school, and even the powerful media have not found any information.
The public thinks she is just an ordinary, good-looking rookie actor.
At this time, the curiosity of the audience was aroused, and the audience at the scene began to take out their mobile phones to search for various Joanne's backgrounds, but there were no clues except that she was Scottish.
At this moment in Edinburgh Castle, Madame Cadilgen was sitting lazily on the sofa, and the laptop in front of her was playing the footage of her people from the recording scene, and she also opened her mouth slightly, unexpectedly, this was the situation.
She originally wanted to let the incident ferment for a while before announcing it, but she didn't expect her daughter to participate in the production of "Game of Thrones"? This surprised her, she never knew that her daughter with an eccentric personality still had such a side!
Gu Xiaofan had already brought Joanne's mysterious atmosphere to the highest, and at this time, there was no need to delay, Madame Cadigate took out her mobile phone and called Salmond, the chief minister of the Socrates Council.
"Saar...... It's time to get started, and let's announce it to the media now. ”
At this time, the recording of the live talk show in Chicago continued, and Oprah had already shifted the topic to Gu Xiaofan.
"Xiaofan, you are amazing, you know that you have received a lot of criticism and suffered a lot of attacks before, what I want to know is what strength supports you to persevere, you are already a very successful director, and you also have enviable wealth, why are you so persistent as an actor? And I want to play the role of English...... What would you like to say to young people who want to be actors? ”
After asking this question, it means that Gu Xiaofan's personal performance time has come, this is his only long speech tonight, whether he can reverse some of his controversial image, the answer is crucial.
As a public figure, the heart of the American audience is eager for public figures to stand up and inspire people, so that people have more strength to face life.
Let Gu Xiaofan provoke and demonstrate, and even fool, he is a good hand, but it is a little reluctant to let him fiercely provoke others, he is just a small person, and he has never done this.
Gu Xiaofan looked at the camera, thought for a while, and then looked at Qiao Annie beside her, she was not nervous, and then said in that deep voice:
"Actually, as an actor, everyone has asked themselves a question, why do we do this?
Why should I play a dwarf and Joanne play a queen, knowing that I don't get a word of praise from others in general......
Do you know, what do we usually get on a daily basis? Do you think it's applause and praise? Gu Xiaofan asked the people below, took a deep breath, and looked at the media reporters on both sides of the venue: "The applause and praise are only a small part, and more is a bunch of ruthless ridicule...... The reporters were a little embarrassed.
"I understand that as an actor I have to pay attention to my public image, and I can't argue with anyone, those reporters with pens, young people sitting in front of computers, even anyone on the street, can call us 'villains' at will, ******, sluts who rely on their faces, vases who only know giggles, face paralysis...... Everyone can criticize us unceremoniously......"
Gu Xiaofan looked at everyone at the scene sincerely, and said slowly:
"A lot of people say that being an actor is actually a worthless industry, that we don't create food, that we don't make clothes, that we don't make any socially beneficial programs on the computer, that we just create ...... 'illusions'...... And illusions have no value......
At this point, you ask yourself, why...... What am I going to do?
Until, one day, before an interview program was prepared, a person walked up to you, looked at you worriedly, and said to you, Gu Xiaofan...... Gu Xiaofan...... I used to be miserable, but after reading your work, I got out of the predicament, and your character gave me courage......"
