486 As You Wish
Funny, really fun.
Lan Li raised her eyebrows gently, and a look of interest appeared in her eyes.
"Thor", he almost forgot this work. He vaguely remembers Andy mentioned that the movie was about to be released, but he has been completely busy for the past few months, first "I am the one who fights cancer", then hiking, followed by album recording, and forgetting those irrelevant news after hearing it.
Chris Hemsworth Lanli couldn't help but think carefully about what time it was last time he remembered, but his memory was so far away that he was a little blurred, as if he was coming before moving. Then Lanli remembered the word "grass" on the wall, and her childish behavior was like a high school student, which made Lanli's mouth lightly raise.
He thought that according to Chris' personality, the secret that they were once roommates would be Chris would choose to rot in his stomach and never tell it out for the rest of his life, let alone the episode of "Thor" casting. It seems that he still knows too little about Chris, but this is not surprising. He thought that they were friends at the beginning, didn't he?
"Has he already given the answer? Is there any need to answer? After all, he is the person involved and should know better than me." Without admitting, denying, or even mocking, with a sincere and sincere expression, Lan Li's answer was completely unexpected.
Elliot suddenly felt it was tricky. Lanli's bright eyes seemed to be able to see through his disguise and directly see through the true thoughts in his heart. The feeling of nakedness and exposure that was invisible made him a little panicked. Every time he stood in front of Lanli, it was like this. This feeling was really bad.
But Elliot did not flee in panic, forcibly suppressing the urge to turn and leave, and continued to ask, "But you are one of the parties involved."
Elliot always felt that there was a story behind it. Lanli's simple words revealed a sense of alienation. They were not enemies, but not friends, but more like... a stranger, with a faint tone, clearly defined the distance between the two. Is this a problem with Chris or Lanli? Elliot wanted to continue digging, curiosity overcame fear, so he chose to stay.
"Are you and Chris really roommates before?" Elliot decided to start with the basics. To be precise, the solutions used on Chris before were not applicable to other artists. Elliot decided to return to nature and try it out by using the reporter's method.
"Yes." Lan Li nodded calmly and admitted, but there was no further explanation.
Generally speaking, artists follow this topic and tell the story of the original story, but Lanley ended abruptly. Elliot felt a sense of frustration, but then he thought about it. This was not a talk show, and he couldn't ask for more, so he continued to ask, "Did you indeed participate in the audition for Thor?"
"No." Lanley's answer made Elliot stunned, with question marks all over his head, but Lanley chuckled, "I did get the script. Kenny thought of filming a Henry V version of Thor, which would be appreciated. This is a recognition and an honor for me. But I felt that I could not pick up Thor's hammer, so I chose to refuse."
A pun. Thor's hammer is only able to hold in the comics, which is also the reason why he defeated Loki and became Thor; but when used here, Renli describes himself as not suitable for Thor, and his faint humor makes people smile.
But at this time Elliot did not have the heart to smile, "So, if Chris can become Thor, are you making a match for it?"
"No, of course not." Lanli chuckled, "In fact, I didn't even know where the script was put, let alone helping Chris. However, I was really happy for Chris, who achieved his goal, his own way. This is a good thing."
Something was wrong. Elliot always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. Lan Li always maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, and even had questions and answers. He was simply too cooperative; but those ordinary words always made people feel like there was something in the words. However, Elliot's head could not keep up with the speed of running, and before he could think, he was about to enter the next stage.
Damn British.
It can be seen from British movies, TV series and literature that their comedy is very special, often hiding all kinds of ridicule, hint, metaphor, joke, and joke in their own words. Only a small number of people can capture those memes. For most people, it is just a sentence with no meaning.
Especially because of cultural differences, political differences, life differences, etc., the humor of the British is very special. This also makes others feel confused, causing many people to think that British comedy is not good. But the British don’t care at all, because they insist that it’s okay to not understand, and those who understand are friends worth making. As for the deep meaning of each, they just need to understand it.
Elliot finally knew what was going on with the awkwardness in his heart: his IQ crushed. He always felt that he couldn't keep up with Ren Li's thinking speed, and his aggrievance was really too depressed. It was like now.
"As for the specific matters of the audition, you have to ask the person involved, but I know nothing." Lan Li said with a smile.
It was originally a very ordinary sentence, but the bright eyes were flowing gently. The playful and wise light was like a carp swimming in the depths of the pool, drawing elegant and graceful arcs. There was still a calmness on the clear water surface, without even a ripples.
Elliot felt something was wrong. He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why. This feeling was really... He felt like he was about to explode.
Seeing Lanley turn around again and leaving, Elliot didn't care and jumped to the next question, "'Fast and Furious 5' is about to be released soon, and in the next week, 'Thor' will officially debut. In other words, you and Chris will face each other head-on. What do you think about this?"
Elliot couldn't help but walk a little step forward, trying to close the distance, only then did he realize that the distance between him and Lan Li was actually two and a half steps, which was really unusual for paparazzi. Usually, paparazzi would like to stick their whole body to the artist and ask questions and answers with a close face. This kind of urgent and oppressive questioning effect can often get the best answer. But now...
"Chris believes that 'Thor' can easily defeat 'Fast and Furious 5'." Intuition drove Elliot to add that he needed to irritate Lanley. Only when Lanley and Chris faced each other's tit-for-tat, this scene was good. But looking at Lanley in front of him, Elliot felt his legs trembled a little, and he could only continue to talk nonsense. "For this duel, Chris was confident and sure of winning. He believed that 'Fast and Furious 5' was not the opponent at all. At that time, the box office results would be easily crushed. What do you think?"
Lan Li pursed her lips gently and asked curiously, "Did Chris really say that?"
Elliot was guilty, but now there was no way out. He could only grit his teeth and continue to sow discord. "Yes, he thinks you are vulnerable, obviously full of confidence." After pausing for a moment, Elliot added that "'Fast and Furious 5' can only be regarded as a small-cost action movie, which is completely a B-level film series; but Thor is a highly anticipated commercial production with a rich family. The reason why Universal Pictures arranged the 'Fast and Furious 5' in the first week of May is to avoid the third week of May, and may be under tremendous pressure from Thor."
The following passage is actually a common view in the industry, not Chris's original words. But Elliot used a pause to create an illusion that "this is also what Chris said" and continued to provoke.
Lan Li's pupils shrank slightly, and of course he knew that this was a malicious hype from the media.
At the same time, he also knew that someone would inevitably add fuel to the fire behind this. No matter how he answered, the showdown between "Fast and Furious 5" and "Thor" was imperative. Schedule is a reason. The box office competition in the summer season is a life-and-death battle; as for him and Chris, it was just adding some highlights.
More importantly, he knew clearly that Chris must have been holding his breath, wanting to avenge his previous shame and use the box office of "Thor" to start a turnaround battle.
Since this scene has begun, he naturally needs to cooperate well, otherwise how can he continue to sing this scene? What's more, is it "Thor" using "Fast and Furious 5" to hype, or "Fast and Furious 5" to hype, or "Thor" using "Thor" to hype, or both sides are hurt, and the outcome is still unknown!
"Ha, then I'll wait for the mat." Lan Li's answer was simple and forceful, neither humble nor arrogant. The calmness and confidence revealed in his words were so dazzling that it made people lose their minds.
Elliot couldn't help but be stunned. This was the answer he was expecting, but it was so simple that he was a little uneasy and had to confirm again, "You mean, in this duel, 'Fast and Furious 5' can win?" Because he was so excited that Elliot's voice trembled a little.
Lan Li raised her smile on her lips, full of calmness, "If you want a war, then I will give you a war, as you wish." She was straightforward, decisive, calm and powerful, and her voice was shocking. A simple sentence filled with a vast domineering and strong spirit. The energy burst out from the iron fist at that moment tore through the gentleman's elegant mask and showed the posture of an absolutely strong man, which was shocking and silenced.
Elliot was stunned in place, watching Lanley turn and leave, and his figure finally disappeared into the gate of Studio 11, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Until the cold wind blew, Elliot shivered, and then realized what had just happened. Adrenaline burst out instantly, like a fireworks conference, which made Elliot so excited that he wanted to scream.
Without detours, no politeness, no greetings, and no avoidance, Lan Li responded with dignity and greeting the challenge with his head held high. His confident and powerful appearance was not kind to come!
