Chapter 62: Race Against Time for Publicity and Premiere (3)
11:45 a.m.!
No one went to eat, and the reporters even took out bread, instant noodles, and milk, and ate them without any image.
Morgan Freeman was also hungry.
He's not young. Three meals a day are very regular.
But...... He can't get out!
I didn't expect in advance that Lin Xiao's influence was so great that it was beyond their imagination, and now it's okay, trapped in a luxurious Rolls-Royce.
Dressed in a luxury custom, wearing a Colombian flawless crystal ring, sitting on a soft leather sofa, blowing air conditioning, but surrounded by more and more fans and reporters outside, they dare not show up.
"Does this count as begging with a golden bowl in your hand?" He secretly smiled bitterly, a contempt, and actually forced him to throw out a piece of jewelry that was a million dollars, and he sat in the car to death.
It was another ten minutes before he said to the man with him, "I'm hungry." ”
"I'm going to buy you something." The accompanying man was about to go out, and suddenly sat back in embarrassment, "But...... Mr...... There seems to be only fast food restaurants near the airport......"
Morgan Freeman's face darkened.
If his face was black coffee beans before, now it is simply the bottom of the pot upside down.
How many years has he not touched this kind of thing? Even if McDonald's is chasing him for product endorsement, it depends on whether he is in a good mood.
Now you're forcing him to eat McDonald's?
“MYGOD…… Back to the U.S....... I'll definitely find a chance to complain about it once! He said angrily, still waving his hand with a headache, "You can eat it, you know my eating habits." ”
The accompanying man looked at his face, carefully opened the car door a crack, and slipped out.
"Mr. Morgan, I'd better go, he doesn't know the way." When the man was about to go out, the driver took over the job and left respectfully.
Not long after he left, suddenly, the entire crowd at the airport let out an earth-shattering cheer.
All the reporters in front of them, as if facing a great enemy, raised the equipment in their hands one after another, and the fans didn't know what they smelled, maybe it was just intuition, and they screamed in unison, waving the signs in their hands frantically.
"Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao! ”
The whole airport can be heard with a deafening sound, so uniform!
Ten seconds later, a man wearing sunglasses, accompanied by more than a dozen bodyguards, walked out of the exit of the station.
The moment he just came out, the entire Pudong Airport gate was full of white light!
"Kakaka!" The sound of fans, the excited shouts of fans, even the people in the car can hear it!
"Incredible...... "The accompanying man looked at everything in front of him in a daze, "This is simply Brother Tom's treatment...... I, I take back what I said before...... China's entertainment industry is not untapped...... It's that the disparity is too great......"
The man in sunglasses calmly coped with everything, talking and laughing, and the reporter's microphone in front of him was simply a container of guns!
Dozens of people surrounded him, and there were reporters waiting anxiously behind him.
Lin Xiao seems to have said the end, his task is to publicize, and of course he will not let go of this opportunity at this moment. If you want to interview, you can do it, and you can do it very easily.
He was also wondering, what about a superstar like Morgan Freeman? Such a good opportunity, why didn't you see each other?
What he didn't know was that in a car less than 500 meters away from him, Morgan Freeman, who was worth nearly 10 million US dollars, was waiting hard for a McDonald's for ten yuan a piece.
Morgan Freeman was feeling a little agitated.
The huge contrast is a trigger, but the most headache is that such a good opportunity...... But...... How did he get there?!
He had the idea of squeezing in, but after looking at the crazy fans on the periphery, the earth-shattering neat shouting, and then at the clothes and jewelry all over his body, he sensibly gave up the idea.
He sighed deeply, he actually had to rely on someone else!
This kind of escorted emperor superstar is actually borrowing Lin Xiao's east wind in China!
Not to mention that no one told him about Lin Xiao's status in China, in fact, Hollywood companies don't pay much attention to artists outside Europe and the United States at all, unless they want to open up this market, they will do some research, and what really knows the influence of a local movie star is definitely not someone who can communicate with him like this.
All he heard was "Lin Xiao, a very famous artist in China." ”
That's all.
His face was unhappy, but in his heart he almost sent the artist who told him this sentence to the gallows.
Famous? Do you dare to cage a unified point again?!
Because this is "very famous," he is now waiting for McDonald's in the car, and Lin Xiao is like a cowherd and a weaver girl, with a galaxy in between!
What's even more painful is that he can't wait for McDonald's, so he has to carry out the first promotion with the other party.
Oh, he's an old man! This is a no-brainer!
"Call him!" He said to the accompanying man with a depressed voice.
The phone was connected, fortunately, Lin Xiao picked it up and looked at it, connected, hung up, and walked quickly towards the car with people.
McDonald's hasn't come yet.
Morgan Freeman almost cursed McDonald's chairman Charlie. Bell, however, still tidied up his appearance in the mirror, showed his usual friendly smile, and walked out of the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, the earth-shattering cheers made him lose his mind slightly, but then, he walked up to meet Lin Xiao.
The two met surrounded by bodyguards and had a warm handshake.
"Mr. Lin, we finally met."
"Mr. Morgan, I am very happy to be able to cooperate with you, Mr. Morgan."
When Lin Xiao spoke, he quietly "scanned" Morgan Freeman.
Acting 1399!
He gasped.
This can be said to be the person with the highest acting skills he has ever seen! Decades of accumulation, in exchange for today's position!
However, Morgan Freeman's name is red with a line of small print underneath.
Hunger.
Hunger? What is it? Lin Xiao decided to ignore it, is Morgan Freeman's status worthy of himself without caviar with truffles every day? Still hungry?
At the same time as the two shook hands, the flash lights lit up wildly again, and the surrounding reporters smelled the excitement of chicken blood.
"It's Morgan Freeman! This is a big name in Hollywood! World-class stars! ”
"This time it turned out to be him and Lin Xiao's partner! At the same time, he appeared at Pudong Airport! That's big news! ”
"This time it's really right, Lin Xiao, who hasn't appeared for a long time, needless to say, even photographed a star like Morgan Freeman!"
"They're definitely going to hype it up! The famous media from all over the country have arrived, and this is a great opportunity! ”
One by one, the microphones suddenly stretched out, but Lin Xiao waved his hand and asked the bodyguard to pick up a microphone and connect it to the loudspeaker.
"Fans of the scene, I'm back!"
As soon as this sentence came out, it resounded throughout the airport after the spread of loudspeakers.
And in response to him, there was a landslide and tsunami-like screams, shouting.
"Lin Xiao! I love you! "We will always have your back!" "I came from Hangzhou on purpose! Just to see you! "I knew you wouldn't leave me!"
Morgan Freeman saw it in his eyes and was shocked in his heart.
This kind of one-call response is already the pinnacle of a country's entertainment industry, why don't he understand!
"Who the hell said he was just a 'famous' artist in China?!"
"This time, my return is not only for me, but also for everyone to bring my new film, The Mystery of the Heroes. It's a wonderful film, Mr. Morgan, nominated for multiple Academy Awards, and there's a wonderful performance in it......"
He said a lot of things in a flutter, and finally said, "For the sake of order at the airport, please pay attention." ”
The reporters saw the gap and immediately began to bombard it in turn.
"Mr. Lin! In this film, you first challenged a character that has never been challenged in the movie, a villain! I wonder, why did you take on this role? A reporter with "CCTV6 Movie Channel" asked excitedly.
He is qualified to speak first, CCTV, this is the mouthpiece of a country!
As soon as he spoke, all of a sudden, the others stopped asking and acknowledged his status.
"It's an attempt." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "The plot of this film is very good, and I was attracted at first sight when I saw it." For villains, I've wanted to try it for a long time, after all, an artist can't be limited to one framework. Mr. Morgan, for example, has played countless roles. ”
This is the topic to Morgan Freeman, this is the propaganda of the two, singing a one-man show can be cool for a while, but it will definitely ignite Morgan Freeman's anger.
Morgan Freeman's smile remained the same, but there was some complexity in his heart.
He actually "degenerated" to the point of relying on artists from other countries to lead the topic? Is this a variety show for seniors to promote juniors?
However, there is no way around it. He smiled and was about to speak, when the next question rang out.
"Mr. Lin, I heard that you have very dangerous actions in the film, is this true? It is said that he jumped off a cliff? ”
"Yes." Lin Xiao replied with a smile, "I have a very difficult set of actions with the leading actor Mr. Christian, that is, jumping off a cliff, but every shot in the play is a shining point, not just this set of shots." ”
Morgan Freeman's smile froze a little.
He was ready to speak, but he didn't expect the reporter to give him a chance!
He hasn't experienced this kind of blocked mentality for many years!
"Mr. Lin, may I ask if the carjacking incident is real? Is the person in the video really you? ”
"Mr. Lin, were you injured at the time? How did the video come about? ”
One question after another was actually directed at Lin Xiao, and Morgan Freeman seemed to be ignored at the moment.
It wasn't until Lin Xiao "reminded" several times that the reporter transferred to Morgan Freeman.
"Mr. Morgan, you are an international superstar, what do you think of Mr. Lin?"
Why is it still him?!
Morgan Freeman suppressed his mentality and said with a smile, "I regret that Mr. Lin and I didn't have a rivalry this time, but I believe there will be one in the future, in addition, I heard Director Nolan say that he is a very hard and very good actor, and I am looking forward to his performance in Hollywood." ”
After a few questions, perhaps the reporter felt that he had given him face and also given Lin Xiao face, and the focus shifted to Lin Xiao again, and only after a while did he "take care" of him.
For the first time, Morgan Freeman felt aggrieved.
Finally, more than forty minutes later, the interview ended and the police began to evacuate the crowd.
Morgan Freeman's face was still smiling, but Lin Xiao looked at it, but he was startled.
Hunger has turned into extreme hunger!
"Mr. Morgan...... Shall we go for lunch first? I haven't eaten yet. He asked tentatively.
"Good!" For the first time, Morgan Freeman replied in a hearty manner.
