1819 Inquiry into gossip

"Lanli, what works did you vote for for the Best Picture?"

On the surface, this is a simple and ordinary question. It can be considered a question that everyone will be curious about after the release of the Best Picture of the Oscars, without too many tricks; but Lan Li knew that the problems that occurred on Oscar Night were trapped everywhere, especially tonight, how could he easily be fooled?

Lan Li smiled and replied calmly, "Are you sure it is legal to raise this question on tonight? I thought it was an unwritten agreement for anonymous voting, and everyone shut their mouths." With a hint of teasing, a hint of sharpness was revealed.

It's like a proposal from Congress or parliament was rejected, but no one could ask after the fall, who voted against it? Because this violates the original intention of the "democratic system".

The reporters had bad intentions, while Lan Li was not ruthless, and he was very stubborn.

The reporters raised a gossip question, but Lan Li raised the problem to the level of a serious topic in an understatement. The reporters present immediately closed their mouths, and all the restlessness was strangled to death in an instant. Involuntarily, the reporters' eyes showed a look of sternness: So cruel!

But there were still bold people among the bustling crowds of people at the scene, and they asked unwillingly, "Are you refusing to answer because you are scared? Because your choice is different from the final award?"

If Renli did not choose to be a slave for twelve years, it would be okay to put on a hat of "race/race/discrimination/objection" under the instigation of the media.

Faced with such sharp, direct and fierce questions, many reporters present frowned, and their eyes showed disagreement: such a question is obviously provoking trouble. There was no problem that could cause a lot of trouble. This was simply a nonsense and had no professional ethics to speak of.

Lanli was not surprised at all.

Putting aside the grievances and grievances of previous years, when he was in the hospital at the beginning of the year, he made harsh words to the reporters, leaving no face for the reporters, and could even be said to be domineering. At that time, because of Paul's situation, the reporters were at a disadvantage and could not confront Ren Li head-on, but it did not mean that they could understand and tolerate magnanimously. Ren Li believed that even if not all reporters, some reporters would inevitably be waiting for the opportunity to take revenge.

Lan Li was still in a panic. She projected along the source of the sound with a smile, and replied loudly, "Which media is the reporter who asked the question?"

The other party was not fooled, "What, do you want to retaliate?"

"Ha!" Lanli's laughter rolled in the depths of her throat, and then said gracefully and gentlemanly, "This is a very interesting question: Why do I want to retaliate? Is it because your question is malicious?"

Damn fox!

Lan Li immediately put the reporter in a passive state with just one rhetorical question.

Seeing that the reporter was about to continue refuting, Lan Li didn't give him more opportunities, he immediately said, "If this is true, then my answer is yes. Yes, I'm ready to retaliate."

This answer...

"Puff", some reporters couldn't help but laughed, and their eyes shot towards the nominated reporter, with gloating in their eyes: This picture is really so funny, what should I do?

The reporter did not expect that Renli would admit so directly, and his words were a little stuttering, "...you, how can you do this?"

"Why not?" Lanli asked, of course, "I'm not sure what your motive is. Do you have any objections to the crew of 'Twelve Years of Slave'? Or do you have any objections to me?"

"Of course, personally, I look forward to seeing 'gravity' reach the top, but this will not affect my respect for 'Twelve Years of Slave'. I don't think Oscars are a duel, because there are no losers here." Lan Li was still a gentleman with a smile on her face. Her words seemed to be laughing at Fengyue, but the content of the words was very sharp.

"So, when you ask this question, you obviously want to attack something. Maybe it's me, maybe it's the crew of 'Twelve Years of Slave', no matter who it is, I think that since you are allowed to attack, you must allow us to launch a counterattack, right?" Lan Li's knightly demeanor, who was well advanced and retreated, made people think of the fair and fair duel spirit in the Knight era, and the whole atmosphere changed quietly, "So, is your question ready to attack me? Or is it ready to attack Brad?"

what to do?

The reporter immediately found that he was trapped in a dead corner and had nowhere to escape: something was wrong? It was obviously the first attack he launched, but why did he fall into a passive state in a few words? What was going on? But everything happened too quickly, and he couldn't figure out the idea. He always felt that he was surrounded by Ren Li, but he couldn't say anything.

Just now, Renli was the target of the audience's attention; but now, the focus of the audience is gathering towards the reporters asking questions.

The reporter who asked the question stood there and looked around. He believed that there should be many reporters on his side at the scene at this time, but now they could not find any of them. Everyone wisely chose to shut up, which put him in an isolated and helpless situation. After hesitating for a moment, he still tried to fight back, "You still didn't answer my question! You are still escaping the question!"

Lan Li chuckled, still in a polite manner, "I thought I had answered the question positively just now. Are you sure you didn't hear it?"

The reporter swallowed his saliva and hesitated for a while. Finally, he chose to shut up, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and did not continue to ask questions, and stopped in this way.

As a gentleman, Lanli's biggest advantage is that he is polite and decent. Therefore, instead of further aggressively mocking or ridicule, he withdrew his gaze, looked at other reporters, and waited for the next question, which finally relieved the atmosphere on the scene.

Then a reporter asked again, this time it was about Robert Lopez winning the egot, and then a reporter asked Lanli about his defeat in the best actor. These were basically the standard official questions on Oscar Night. Lanli was also at ease in dealing with it, and the atmosphere became warmer again.

But the reporter asked the question never spoke again. The audience was like a thriller, always feeling that he had become a target, and that feeling was really bad.

However, he still did not leave, gritted his teeth and persisted at the scene. Later, when the crew of "Twelve Years of Slave" appeared on the red carpet, he remodeled similar problems and threw them to Brad Pitt.

Compared to Renli, Brad's temper was even more popular. Tonight was their night. Now someone was trying to destroy this beauty. He walked forward and tried to search for the other party's nameplate in person. "Which reporter are you? I just heard that someone was embarrassed by Renli. Is it my turn again?"

The atmosphere at the scene was tense for a while.

Although Brad did not come forward directly in the end, he simply refused to answer the question and asked directly, "Why, do you have any objections to the winner of the Best Picture?"

Obviously the other party had an objection, but no one dared to say it in person on the scene, and it was finally left alone. After the team that had been "slavery for 12 years" left, the reporter asked the question left the scene secretly. He seemed to realize now that he seemed to have been in trouble.

But interestingly, no one knows which media the reporter was from. Until the next day, the supermarket tabloid "National Inquirer" condemned Renly and Brad's "bad record" with a large amount of space, saying that they used mental oppression to threaten innocent journalists and attempt to undermine freedom of speech and press rights.

The truth is revealed at this time.

It turned out to be the famous "National Inquiry Newspaper", so it is no surprise.

As for influence?

Not worth mentioning.

Back at the red carpet scene, after the lively surrounding topics ended, a reporter finally raised the question that everyone was most curious about. No, it should be two questions. The first question is explosive gossip.

"Lanli, you and Rooney Mara are colleagues on the same crew. Do you know the person she said in her award speech?"

The reporters at the scene all looked at Lan Li with eager anticipation. Apart from Rooney herself, Lan Li and Alfonso should be the people closest to the truth. After all, they have just collaborated on "gravity".

Before Renli arrived at the scene, the reporters asked Alfonso, but Alfonso was confused and didn't know about it after asking. They obviously didn't know much about the situation of the crew. The reporters could only comfort themselves. Compared with the shy and introverted Alfonso, Renli should be the object of easier communication.

After the problem came out, Lan Li's first reaction was stunned because he had never expected that the reporters would throw out the problem. Then, a faint smile appeared deep in his eyes, and the lines of his whole face became softer. In the eyes of the reporters, it was likely that it meant "information". Everyone couldn't help but get excited. The excited excited made the scene even more surging.

But they are doomed to be disappointed.

"Sorry, this is Rooney's personal matter. You'd better ask the person involved." Lan Li pursed her lips and put on a gentleman and alienated attitude. "Please believe me, when working in the crew, we are all very professional actors, devoted ourselves to the performance work without distraction, and kept all the private matters outside the crew as much as possible. Unfortunately, I can't help."

The reporters couldn't hide their disappointment, but thinking about Ren Li's usual lack of water, the result seemed not surprising.

What the reporters don't know is that they really found the wrong person to ask for.
