181 Topic escalation
Faced with the aggressiveness of the reporters, Lan Li felt annoyed and was about to bow his head and break out. However, when he heard the reporter's question, Lan Li was happy and couldn't help but stop. The more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, "Where did you hear it?" The expression of interest was not only not angry, but instead showed an expectant look and looked at the location of the reporter who asked the question.
If it is anger or accusation, it is not surprising, but Lan Li doesn't play according to common sense and asks the reporters, but instead are stunned. However, this is not a one-on-one ring match, but a siege of more than 30 reporters against Lan Li alone. The reporter next to him quickly replied, "'Us Weekly'."
Lan Li suddenly realized that as expected, the media still offered their best out of context. "I suggest that you ask questions after reading the complete text, don't put the name of "Uncrowned King" at the public's feet. After all, your newspapers are not sold in supermarkets."
Supermarket tabloids, this is a special noun, referring to newspapers given for free in supermarkets. Housewives may use them to prepare a basket, and then look through them after dinner to find discount coupons. Such tabloids are typical synonyms for "unreliable gossip". Rather than news reports, it is a ghost novel. Any gossip is revealed directly without verification, which is amazing.
Lan Li's words just now were obviously pointing out. She smiled calmly, was gentlemanly and polite, but the sharpness of her words did not diminish at all, and she stabbed every reporter present hard.
"So are you denying that you have said similar things?" Another reporter started shouting, and the other reporters next to him couldn't help but roll their eyes. Lan Li could not understand what he meant. At this time, wouldn't he be humiliating himself if he asked such words?
Sure enough, Lan Li looked at the questioning reporter with a smile, "I have never said what I said just now. Is my accent too vague, you can't understand? Or can you not learn Chinese well? "
Now Cornell McGregor finally understood what it means to curse without swearing, especially Renly's standard London accent, as if he was a professor at Cambridge University, but his words were both elegant and sharp, which made Cornell stunned. To make matters worse, the reporters around him cast contemptuous eyes, as if they couldn't wait to distance themselves from him, and the sense of shame burned from the soles of his feet.
"But you said in an interview that the director is the biggest contributor in '127 hours'!" One reporter fell, and another reporter stood up, one after another, leaving no room for breathing when asked questions.
"Indeed, that's what I think. Is there any problem?" Lan Li refuted it without any hesitation. The reporters couldn't help but think seriously that Lan Li's point of view is indeed nothing wrong. The views of many film critics are the same, giving Danny Ball more praise.
However, the same words are always a bit strange by the actors, right? But the reporters cannot refute them.
Cornell felt a breath in his chest and asked again, "What about in 'buried alive'? Do you think you are the biggest contributor?"
This topic demonstrates its level, not only sharp, but also further intensified the contradictions. The reporters looked at Lan Li excitedly, which made Cornell a little proud, especially when he saw Lan Li pursing his lips and thinking seriously, the suffocation in his heart finally vented.
"Does your question mean that everyone admits that 'buried alive' is a successful work?" Lan Li's answer made Cornell's leisurely joy stuck in his throat, neither up nor down. Other reporters were also a little surprised. Think about it carefully, the use of the word "meeting minister" itself refers to the greatest contributor to success, so Lan Li's rhetorical question was natural, "Then, thank you, I am willing to accept such praise."
It admitted, Lan Li admitted frankly!
Cornell couldn't help but clench his fists and became excited. Then, interviewing the director Rodrigue who was buried alive means that Renly and Rodrigue will start to fight? But Cornell immediately discovered that his colleagues around him were not excited, and his overheated brain calmed down a little, and then Cornell reacted:
The opinions of major film critics reached a consensus that the biggest contributor to "burying alive" was indeed Renli; even Rodrigue was frank at the premiere that Renli was the greatest guarantee for the success of his work.
In other words, although Lan Li acknowledged these praises, it seemed a bit arrogant and unpleasant, but people could not blame anything. Just like a sports game, the crazy celebration of the winner was annoying, but no one could refute it, because this was the winner's right.
Cornell felt chest tight again. Looking at Lan Li who was calm in front of him, an indescribable sense of irritability hit her heart.
"Lanli, then do you think who is better in his performances with James?" Another reporter immediately asked, "The same question was joking with James, so what will Lanli in front of him? The reporters watching the show were nervous at this moment. It depends on whether this bloody drama can continue.
Lanley shrugged and said lightly, "I think everyone should choose James, so I think it would be too hypocritical if I continue to choose James. Isn't it?"
So this is to say... Renley also chose herself? Just like James.
Confident but not lacking humility, sharp but not lacking softness, radical but not lacking calmness, the firmness and motivation from the heart make people look sideways but also make people unable to argue.
The topic has come, and it seems meaningless to continue. This time, Lan Li moved forward again, and the reporters' encirclement was obviously loose, and there was no more step by step. In the end, Lan Li successfully broke through. The reporters were like a comet tail, reluctantly following Lan Li, and continued to press the shutter to capture the moment, but more and more people fell behind. The whole tail was dragged to the door of the hotel, accompanied by Lan Li's departure, and then it was completely cut off.
Cornell scratched his head hard, and his heart felt irritated. This Lanley... really makes people unable to like it.
Neither James nor Renly followed the reporter's mercy and successfully resolved the edge and made the matter ease quickly, but this does not mean that the reporters gave up. First, James and Renly both chose themselves in the same "comparison" problem, which also means that the confrontation has not been resolved; second, "127 Hours" and "Buried Alive" are indeed easy to be placed together and compared. It is still unknown whether it can continue to be awards season, but there is no doubt at the Toronto Film Festival.
So, the reporters continued to fan the flames, "Who is the number one actor in the Y generation of actors?"
Corresponding to China's division of generations into post-70s and post-80s, American sociologists used World War II as the standard line to divide people into several different generations. They were born in the 1950s with relatively traditional and steady state, and were called the "quiet generation"; then the "baby boomer generation", who pursued freedom of thought and were the creators of the economic prosperity of the United States in the later century.
The cynical "Generation X" is a group of "individualists" who are considered lazy, lacking a sense of responsibility and enterprising spirit; the "Generation Y" follows closely, their birth dates and characteristics are very similar to those of the "post-80s" in China, and they are also specifically divided into people born from 1977 to 1990. This generation is also called "My Generation". They are self-centered and have broader cultural values, and are eager to be recognized through hard work, enjoy work without letting work control their lives.
Currently, the central active figures in Hollywood are mainly "baby boomers", Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Sean Penn, etc.; the "X generation" is slowly rising, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Ethan Hake, etc.
However, the "Y Generation" is accelerating its pace of scrambling for power after entering the 21st century. This is true for the starring members of Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johnson, Heath-legder, Jake Gyllenhaal, Orlando-blo and a series of "Harry Potter".
Among the actors of Y generation, Heath Ledger, who died young, is undoubtedly the most highly regarded. He gave a palace-level performance at a young age, but unfortunately he fell like a meteor. Now Natalie Portman and Jack Gyllenhaal can be regarded as leaders in acting skills among this generation of actors, but they are still weak and cannot be compared with the X generation and the baby boomer generation.
Three years ago, the "Transformers" made Shia Labeou come out of nowhere, and many people think that he can be the next Tom Hanks. Unfortunately, everyone was disappointed.
Now, James and Renli, two representatives of the potential acting skills of the Y generation, emerged in one breath, and the media was immediately in an uproar, like boiling water, bubbling up. Things have gradually deviated from the simple actor duel, and the duel of works, which is a rapid rise of the strength of the new generation.
Later, after the premiere of "Black Swan" in Toronto, Natalie's stunning performance once again triggered a wave of discussion in the media. The powerful performance of the acting representatives of the "Y Generation" has undoubtedly become the focus of discussion among the media.
Surprise, another surprise. Just when everyone thought that Renly and James' "fight" would become the next focus, a brand new topic became the new favorite of major media. In a blink of an eye, "buried alive" took advantage of the wind to stand on the cusp of the storm again. The development trajectory of this independent film in Toronto this year is really shocking.
At the same time, the official organizing committee of the Toronto Film Festival announced that the second round of the show was "buried alive". This time, six more rounds were added in one go! Three shows a day to meet the audience's viewing needs.
