readx;?ā Michael, this is the second time you've worked with Lance......" Jay took the initiative to point the finger at Michael, a newcomer to this variety show, it can be seen that Michael is always a little nervous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info didn't expect it, but Michael shook his head and stretched out three fingers, "The third time." Jay looked puzzled, and Michael quickly explained, "I played the clerk of the coffee shop in 'Hard Fruit Candy'. ā
Jay suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, but all my attention was on other people for that movie." His gaze quietly skimmed to Lance, and after such a blatant hint was captured by the audience, there was another burst of laughter, "So, after working together three times, how do you feel?" Would you like to continue working with him if you had the chance? ā
"Of course." Without any hesitation, Michael simply began to nod his head neatly, and his eager expression was overflowing, "Working with Lance, you can always learn a lot." In the process of directing, he is very good at breaking the actors' personal habits, and then re-reinventing them, if it doesn't work, he starts all over again, and so on, constantly defeating the actors to achieve the effect he wants. Therefore, when I see my performance on the big screen, I am often very surprised and don't believe that it is my own performance. ā
"So, the process is painful?" Jay jumped straight to the conclusion, and Michael nodded slowly as he thought, "That's true, but it's also a very happy process." Jay turned to look at Lance, "It seems that you haven't lost the confidence of all the co-actors. This is a joke that hints at Tom Cruise's original "kill with a knife" promotional period.
However, Lance did not respond to Jay's words, but turned to look at Michael, "Are you sure you don't have Stockholm syndrome?" A short sentence suddenly made the audience burst into laughter, but just one sentence, it responded to several stalks in the previous interview, and it was completely hilarious. Michael, who was ridiculed, couldn't help but blush slightly, scratched his head shyly, showed his neat teeth, and smiled stupidly, not knowing how to respond.
"So, did you feel more pressure during the time when the movie was about to finish?" Jay's gaze scanned back and forth between Charlize and Michael, and he finally found his starting point and brought up the Oscar topic, "You know, it's getting closer and closer to the Oscars, but the shooting is still not finished...... I can't imagine how sad it would be if this year's Oscars were missing Lance. ā
"No, no." Charlize also shook his head repeatedly, "For me, I didn't feel it, but ...... But my situation is peculiar because my agent calls me almost every day, 'Hey, Sally, what the hell is Lance going to do, when are you going to come back to Los Angeles?' Charlize's colorful parody made people clap their hands and laugh, "So I'm not quite right, Michael, what do you think?" ā
Charlize turned his head to Michael and cast an inquiring look, and Michael also shook his head, "No." Lance has always been filming at the same pace, and I remember sitting around with Emma Stone and Giselle Bundchen discussing whether Lance would actually miss this year's Oscars. At this time, Michael's words began to come alive again, "You know, for us, the Oscars are almost the dream stage, and we are willing to spend anything to attend this event, but Lance is not in a hurry at all, the crew has always been methodical in filming, and it feels like Los Angeles is another world." A group of us couldn't hold back our curiosity and talked about it, and our playwright, Albert Allen, caught it right and just said, 'Is the next scene rehearsed?' and we were all speechless. Michael also made a cold war move, which was really funny, "Since we are all shooting on location, the rehearsal is crucial, and the best thing is to complete it in the rehearsal stage, so that the shooting will go much smoother." ā
"You should be glad it's not Lance standing behind." Jay sighed.
As soon as the laughter sounded, Lance waved his hand, "No, no, if I were standing in the back, I wouldn't be so serious, I would definitely take their discussion seriously and give my opinion." The attentive attitude had an eerie aura that made people shudder, and Michael couldn't laugh directly, but the audience burst out laughing again.
"And what would you say?" Jay took the opportunity to bring the conversation to Lance.
"Of course, the Oscars are a great time every year, and it's an honor to be there, let alone win a nomination." Lance was also prepared for a long time, without the slightest hesitation, and replied directly, "But the desert weather is really uncertain, which makes the already difficult filming add a lot of uncertainty, if I really miss the Oscars, I will regret it, but I will not hesitate." ā
After the Oscars ended, in fact, there was a rumor circulating quietly in the circle, thinking that Lance was deliberate, he originally planned to come back to the Oscars, but he deliberately delayed until the last minute, completely treating the academy as a rat and playing. However, Lance has never made any kind of response to this kind of remarks - it is a weak heart to respond, not to mention, the academy is still anxious because of the "crash" victory, and Lance does not need to add fuel to the fire and completely stiffen the relationship between the two sides.
It can be seen from the guest lineup at the premiere of "Fury Road" that Lance made the right choice.
Today at the "Tonight Show", Jay also tested it a little, and seeing Lance's indifferent and calm expression, Jay had no intention of continuing the discussion. "Luckily, you made it back at the last minute." Jie sighed, and the applause at the scene rang out again, "Otherwise, this year's Oscars will be eclipsed." Congratulations, you won the first Golden Man in Acting! The whistles and cheers boiled over, and everyone sent belated congratulations to Lance, "So, how does it feel?" ā
Lance also had a shallow smile on his eyebrows, "It's a little strange." This answer made Jay look puzzled, and he didn't seem to understand, "I'm a director, but I stood on the podium as an actor......" "Hard Candy" missed the Best Director Award and the Best Picture Award successively, which is indeed a big regret for this year's Oscars.
"It's funny, isn't it?" Jie took over the conversation with a smile, but he didn't continue on the director's topic - three consecutive years of nominations but three consecutive years of missing, this is definitely the most enthusiastic topic of discussion in the past three months, but "The Tonight Show" is still mainly funny, Jie directly dodged the past, "'Fury Road' is only your third time as an actor, right?" If you choose between a director and an actor......"
"Director." Lance gave the answer categorically, and seeing Jay's stunned expression, Lance couldn't help but chuckle, "What, are you expecting other answers?" Screenwriter? ā
Jay laughed along, "No, I mean, you're a very good actor, you can almost win the world. The audience immediately began to scream and shout in cooperation, once again making Lance feel his super popularity, "So, if you still have the chance, do you want to continue to appear in the production?" ā
This is actually the hottest topic at the moment, after the release of "Fury Road", Lance, who showed a completely different tough and strong appearance, instantly swept the world, almost with a sweeping attitude, and ascended to the throne of the world's most popular sexy/sexy man, stripped off the director's identity, and reached the height that only actors can touch, which is really incredible.
Lance shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer directly, "I must admit that I still enjoy the pleasure of sitting behind the camera and directing more than standing in front of the camera and being tested." ā
"So you're the master." Jay's inexplicable words made everyone stunned, but it turned out that Lance was the first to react, Jay was talking about the role relationship in "S&M", and the abuser or the abused party.
Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Jay with interest, "I didn't expect you to like this aspect. At this point, everyone else came to their senses, and the atmosphere of ambiguity was really interesting, "If you want to discuss this topic with me, I'll go back and go through my personal notes and then discuss it in depth." ā
This response seemed meaningful, and the whistles on the scene suddenly came and went. Michael didn't quite understand what was going on, Charlize explained it to Michael briefly, and then he heard the commotion of the scene, and the two of them looked up at Lance and Jay, and the scorching heat of the scene made Michael's cheeks start to heat again.
Jie was very calm and leaned back, "I think these contents should have leaked the truth in the movie." Next, we will watch the clip of 'Fury Road' for you to identify, do you know which clip is playing today? ā
Lance spread his hands, "I think the answer given by any fragment is the same. Lance's answer was once again positive to Jay, and the atmosphere in the studio couldn't help but get hotter, and he couldn't even hold back Jay's smile, "Okay, I think this should be the end of this question, otherwise Mavis will have to talk to me tonight." The audience burst into laughter, and Jie raised his voice, "Audience friends, the fragment of 'Fury Road'!" ā
The "Fury Road" segment immediately began to play on the big screen, which was decided by Chaos Pictures and the TV station after discussion, and Lance really didn't know which clip to play. After the clip was played, it was followed by the commercial break, which gave everyone a short respite.
Michael looked dazed, this ...... And that's the end of it? Why does he think things haven't started yet? (To be continued.) )
