The Los Angeles Theater was bustling at this time, and Lance had just appeared on the stage, and the atmosphere was already hot, and the reporters' enthusiastic questions almost made people have no breathing space; At the same time, the Chinese Theater is full of people and bustle, Hollywood Boulevard has been occupied by a surging crowd, and the sight of long queues of limousines reminds people that this is the time of year - awards season. ≧＞

George Clooney and Brad Pitt both appeared on the red carpet without their female companions, which made the fans lose their minds, like a tsunami of screams and shouts crashing into the red carpet wave after wave, and the faces that were red and twisted from being too excited rushed forward regardless of a single qiē, just wanting to be able to get closer, closer.

As the two sexiest men in Hollywood at the moment, George and Brad's charm is undoubted, and it is not uncommon for the two to join forces to attend ceremonies, and each time it can cause a frenzy in the audience.

At this time, the two of them were also facing the same problem as Lance, but the way of asking questions was much more relaxed, "I guess you have all heard of the hot topics on the Internet recently, right?" "It's not the journalist, it's the showrunner Conan O'Brien).

Not only did he not ask a direct question, but he brought it up in a roundabout and joking way, but he also completely handed over the initiative to the person concerned. and the person who was "tortured" at the door of the Los Angeles theater, the treatment was really different.

"You mean, about two movies being released at the same time today?" George took the initiative to lift it, with a smile in his elegance, which made many women next to him sigh as nymphomaniacs, "Yes, of course we have heard of it." George turned to look at Brad, "That's a funny thing, isn't it?" In fact, we're all curious about what the film will do – Lance is an amazing director, Tom is an amazing actor, but ......"

George lifted his chin slightly, and Brad picked up, "But we also have a strong cast. This time, we not only continued the entertainment, excitement, and adventure of the previous work, but also added more comedy elements, which was a fresh experience for each of us. ”

"So......" Brad turned his head to look at Conan, "we're expecting the result as well." I hope the audience can give us a little more support. With that, Brad laughed brightly.

Similar polite answers, but different from Lance's style, George and Brad revolve more around "Ocean's Twelve," with a strong sense of confidence and a positive message about the box office results, the kind of leader that can be easily captured between expressions and gestures.

There are slight differences, but they are fundamentally different.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're friends with Lance?" Conan took the initiative to bring it up, then looked at Brad and said hesitantly, "And you and Tom...... Also friends? ”

"Yes, we've talked about it before and made some jokes." George looked very calm, and replied with a smile, Brad stood aside, but had no intention of speaking, "However, the box office matter is not up to us, and it is still up to the audience to decide in the end, right?" We all know this very well, so it doesn't affect our friendship. ”

Conan glanced at Brad, who had no intention of answering, and could only continue to ask, "So, who do you think will emerge victorious?" The same question, Conan's question was with a hint of ridicule, half-jokingly throwing out this baggage.

Faced with such a trap problem, George and Brad, who have been rolling in Hollywood for more than ten years, naturally do not make mistakes, George shrugged, "This is not the time for modesty. A joke skillfully defuses Conan's problem, and at the same time once again expresses a strong self-confidence, apparently he thinks that the "Twelve Oceans" are the ones who have the last laugh.

The atmosphere at the Chinese Theatre and the Los Angeles Theatre is boisterous and enthusiastic, and the actors' responses are friendly and cordial, but upon closer inspection, the differences are meaningful, and you can clearly feel the very different promotional strategies of the two productions.

The next reporter's question session has always revolved around the recent Internet focus, pushing the confrontation between the two works to a new peak. George and Brad coped with ease and ease, allowing the atmosphere to usher in wave after wave of highs/tides until Dylan Wilde's questions broke the peace.

Dylan, as a paparazzi, was not invited to the screening, and they generally do not attend such screenings or award ceremonies - they are more willing to ambush outside the celebration faction, but today Dylan attended the screening as a special guest reporter of the "Daily News" for a simple reason: profitable.

"Brad, why didn't you invite your female companion to the screening today?" Just such a question instantly froze the scorching atmosphere of the scene into ice.

For today's screening, Warner Bros. worked hard, and most of the media reporters invited to the scene were not unknown juniors, and they had completed communication with Warner Bros. in advance. So it can be seen that the reporters' questions are not too sharp, even if they revolve around hot spots, most of them are relatively mild, leaving more room for swaying, and it looks like George and Brad's Christmas talk show. The whole screening creates a family-friendly atmosphere.

More than 1,000 spectators gathered today, some of whom came with cards condemning Brad and Angelina, but the on-site staff confiscated them all before Brad arrived. The few fish that slipped through the net were also submerged in the surging crowd, so they were never touched.

However, Warner Bros. also knows that journalists are time bombs, and they can't monitor everyone, so they can only keep the situation as acceptable as possible.

Although Dylan made a shocking move to the sharp topic that has caused a sensation in the United States in the past six months, in fact, his question was also very tactful, without mentioning Angelina, not mentioning "Operation Smith", or even mentioning the rumors that Jennifer asked for divorce, just mentioning the topic of female companions. It can be seen that even if they are paparazzi, in the final analysis, they still put their interests first - it is not a wise choice to offend a financier like Warner Bros. head-on.

But despite this, Dylan's question broke the atmosphere of the family carnival and made everyone look at each other.

Brad has been in the industry for more than ten years, and he has dealt with all kinds of crises in the face of reporters, but at this time, his feelings have collapsed to the extreme, and he is on the verge of breaking the strings, and the surging anger is almost uncontrollable. Reason told him that he had countless ways to answer this question elegantly and politely, and even to launch a counterattack, but the impulsive emotion took control of his brain, and he sneered and blurted out, "Who stipulates that you must bring a female companion to the screening?" ”

If it's a joke, then it's also an answer that can elicit laughter from everyone; But the problem is that Brad's expression is stiff, his voice is rigid, and although the suppressed anger does not explode, it is not far away. Such an attitude is the most direct answer.

George, who was standing on the side, immediately sensed that Brad's tone was wrong, and took over the topic in a loud voice, "Obviously, there are still too few actresses in the crew, especially after Julia can't attend tonight's screening." So, the rest of us men had to find our own way out. ”

There are only two actresses in "Ocean's Twelve", Julia Roberts will miss tonight's screening because she has just finished production, and only Catherine Zeta-Jones is left in the cast.

George not only resolved the topic while talking and laughing, but also created a humorous effect, which made the scene burst into laughter.

Immediately, Conan took over the right to speak again, "It seems that the imbalance between men and women in our crew is very strict......" refocused everyone's attention on the stage. After Dylan achieved his goal, he didn't continue to dwell on it, but the expressions of the reporters around him were secretly excited, and their minds began to think about how to write tonight's news.

The glitz and glamour of the Chinese/Chinese Theatre was once again overwhelmed by the bustle of flowers, as if nothing had been born just now, but there was a lingering sense of emptiness; Despite the constant laughter of the star-studded Los Angeles Theater, due to the lack of guests, the screening lasted only an hour before it ended, and the audience began to enter the theater 66 continuously, and the countdown to the film screening was gradually approaching - in fact, an hour was the time of the normal screening, but compared with another screening that was still going on half a city away, it fell behind.

"So, is it okay?" Tom sat down beside Lance and asked as if greeting, but his eyes remained focused on Lance, as if waiting for an answer.

Lance smiled lightly at Tom, "It's all good. ”

Such a simple answer, without any superfluous embellishment, but Tom saw a confident calmness in those eyes, and unconsciously, the tight strings in his heart loosened slightly, and the corners of his mouth also had a smile, "That's great." ”

Lance retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at the wide theater behind him—the theater on the upper and lower floors was empty and high, as if it would never be filled, and the audience was entering the theater in an orderly manner, looking for their place, and the noisy scene was filling the empty seats little by little.

With more than two thousand seats, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Their efforts are in place, and the next box office is out of control. "Next, it's up to them." Lance teased lightly, then looked back at Tom, "Of course, yours." (To be continued.) )8
