In the face of Lance's answer, Darius has many different ways to go deeper, if he wants to pull the topic to the work "Murder with a knife", he can ask "Tell me in detail about the hard work of the filming process of this work", and then naturally start to exchange ideas about the film work; If he wants to bring the topic of Tom Cruise into the hot spot, which most journalists do, then he can ask "From your words, you are the hardest working person on the crew, but Tom has been mentioning in recent interviews that this is the hardest shooting ...... of his career as an actor" and then they can expand many different possibilities along the way.

This is the technique of interviewing, different reporters tend to lead to different results, and different interview techniques often burst out with different sparks.

Darrys' words came to his lips, and the name "Tom Cruise" swirled on the tip of his tongue before finally swallowing, "Hell? It's an interesting adjective, but you foresaw this possibility before the filming of the movie, and you still chose to take on the role, does this mean that you have never given up on your dream of being an actor? Lance raised an eyebrow and was about to open his mouth, but Darry chuckled and shook his head, stopping Lance, and then asked, "And I'm more curious about why 'kill by the sword' instead of 'City of God', or 'the day after tomorrow'?" ”

I have to say that Darius's question hit the nail on the head - straight to Lance's innermost thoughts, especially the latter question. If Lance tells the truth that "killing people with a knife" is the most real test of acting skills, then it also means that the nature of "killing people with a knife" and "the day after tomorrow" is different, at least not a traditional commercial movie, and it can also explore Lance's dream of being an actor; But if Lance is going to make up an improvised excuse, it's up to him to react - is the persuasiveness in place?

"Hehe, that's a very interesting angle." Lance was not in the shreak of panic. Tan Xiao picked up the topic, "I guess it will be difficult for you to find a suitable place for me in the 'City of God' or 'The Day After Tomorrow', right?" ”

"City of God" naturally needs no remarks, but "The Day After Tomorrow" is a bit ambiguous/ambiguous, the two main characters in the movie are father and son, Lance's age is just stuck in the middle, not up or down, it is really not suitable, but then again, if Lance really wants to play "The Day After Tomorrow", change the ages of the two main characters. It's not difficult.

Darrys's thoughts followed Lance's words, and before he could open his mouth to argue, Lance continued, "Actually, the main reason is that working with Tom will put a lot less pressure on my shoulders. Lance raised his hands on his shoulders and pushed them up and down, indicating the heavy pressure, and Darius was stunned. Immediately reacted - box office, Lance said box office pressure, "You don't expect me, a rookie actor, to take on the box office risk of the whole work, right?" ”

That's true. When "The Day After Tomorrow" was put into filming, Twentieth Century Fox had already taken a huge risk by using Lance as the director, and Lance at that time. Even if they are all newcomers as directors, they can't go crazy and put all their bets on Lance alone.

This was something that Darius hadn't thought of, and it was in his head. In the conversation just now, Lance's dream of being an actor could be felt inside and outside the words, and he thought that there was more information to be mined.

"Of course, I must admit that maybe in my bones, I still want to win more attention." A self-deprecating joke explains the "actor's dream" in an ingenious way, and the unique humor can be felt between the lines, "Working with Tom is indeed a rare opportunity." Not only because he was the idol of many people's childhood, I'm sure you and I have seen 'Top Gun';" Darrys couldn't help but nod in agreement, "but also because he is a very dedicated actor, and he personally participated in the difficult scenes of the 'Mission Impossible' series, just like Jackie-chan." ”

Darius was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, apparently Lance had put Tom and the kung fu superstar on the same level, which seemed a bit funny. Tom can't be considered a martial arts star.

"A large part of the reason for choosing 'borrowing a knife to kill someone' is because of Tom." Lance came to a conclusion and successfully followed the expected trajectory and steered the conversation to the movie and Tom - "Kill with a knife" wants to achieve box office success, Tom is the core, Lance clearly knows this, "The process of making this movie was indeed like hell, but fortunately, I didn't fight alone, Tom accompanied me through this journey. ”

"So, can I understand that taking on four different jobs makes it incredibly hard to shoot, so you put all that pressure on Tom and made him go through one of the toughest challenges of his career." Darius didn't change the subject again, but continued with Lance's intentions, but showed his edge, stabbing Lance sharply and directly.

Lance not only did not get angry, but laughed out loud, "On this issue, I refuse to say anything. The subtext is that this still needs to be answered by the person concerned, but there are thousands of pounds between the smiles, "However, during the filming process, Tom did give everything, not only did he personally go into battle in all the action scenes, challenging every battle scene, but in order to show the characteristics of a professional killer, he even conducted special training for up to two months, just to be able to realistically present every scene in the movie." ”

"Wow, no wonder Tom still had palpitations when he talked about this shoot in an interview." Darius's exaggerated expression and playful tone magnified all the emotions several times, causing Lance to laugh, "You should ask him to show you the bruises and wounds on his body." ”

After laughing, Darius attacked again, "Talk to me about this shoot, I mean, as an actor. How does it feel to stand in front of the camera? Darrys has already experienced Lance's cunning, if he doesn't limit himself to the topic, Lance may be sloppy again, talk about the hard work of wearing multiple hats, or talk about the interesting facts of the filming process as a director, he is not interested in "killing people with a knife", he is interested in Lance himself after all.

This time Lance didn't plan to go around in circles, because he also wanted the topic to be brought up, "Honestly, it's not easy. You know, even as a vase, it's hard to stand in front of the camera. Once again, he teased himself, causing Darius to shake his head again and again, and the smile on the corner of his mouth still couldn't be suppressed, "What's more, the role this time is far from being as simple as a vase." ”

Hearing this, Darius's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately caught the fighter, and without hesitation, he took advantage of Lance's words to ask, "Oh? Could it be that there are more requirements for this work? Like, acting? ”

In fact, this is what Lance intended, he is slowly paving the way to make people realize that "Killing with a Knife" is not a simple commercial movie, but also has more connotations, and the actors' performances are also the focus. But at the same time, Lance can't reveal the answer directly, he needs to keep everyone guessing.

How to get the right balance is a difficult problem.

"Let's put it this way, when Tom and 'Interview with the Vampire,' I don't think any of us expected that Tom would be the most iconic vampire in film history, and likewise, when Johnny took over 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' no one expected him to be nominated for an Oscar."

Lance did not answer positively, but gave an affirmative reply in a roundabout way.

"So, this work does involve a breakthrough in acting, presenting a completely different Tom?" Darius was aggressive, like a lion smelling its prey, and chased after it.

Lance, however, still seemed at ease and unflustered, "The media always likes to dramatize everything. Darrys couldn't help but be stunned by this response - although everyone knew this fact, almost no one would point it out directly during the interview, but before Darrys could refute, Lance continued, "It should be said that this time the role is really different, I hope to be able to shoot a work similar to 'L.A. Confidential' or 'The Line of Fire', which is a difficult task, for the director and for the screenwriter ......."

After a moment's pause, Lance retracted his chin and looked at Darius.

Darius was stunned for half a second, and then reacted - Lance was hinting to himself: as a director and screenwriter, he had accepted an extremely difficult task, which made Darius really laugh. Immediately, Lance continued, "The same is true for actors. When Tom learned of my ambitions, he did try to accomplish this difficult task with me. Therefore, it can be said that the filming of this work is really hard, and almost every day is a kind of torture. ”

Lance did not positively say that "Killing with a Knife" was a commercial film, nor did he directly say that this work had made a breakthrough in terms of performance and art, and it was all hinted at in a roundabout way. Moreover, his words always contain words like "hope" and "try", and that is enough.

On the one hand, this will stimulate the audience's curiosity and generate more interest in "borrowing a knife to kill"; On the one hand, this paved the way for the momentum after the release of the movie.

If Darius ends the interview here, then things will be perfect. But alas, Darius is not Lance's puppet, and he can't exactly follow Lance's plan, "As you can tell from what you just said, this work is indeed a difficult challenge. But you chose such a work as your first appearance as an actor, can I think that this is a sign that you have strong confidence in your acting skills? ”

Lance looked into Darius's eyes, who didn't dodge, his confident eyes flickering slightly. (To be continued.) )
