The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 176: Off manuscript

"So, I'd better start with basic information. What kind of person are you?"

Hearing Gavin’s first formal question, Lan Li couldn’t help but smile, but he didn’t refute it directly, instead he thought about it seriously, “This is a philosophical question, and I’m still exploring, who am I? , Where should I go..."

Gavin immediately realized that there was a problem with his questioning method. Renly's words made him laugh dumbly. Seeing the narrow light in Renly's eyes, Gavin felt that his back began to sweat again, "I mean, everyone at the moment I don’t know much about you. Whether it’s the Actors Guild or ImdB, there is very little information about you. I think we can at least understand some basic information.? Eight? One Chinese W? W? W ㈠.? 8? 1㈧Z? W?.?C?O?M"

"Basic information?" Lan Li's final tone rose slightly, and some did not quite understand the meaning of the question.

Gavin further explained, "Now on the Internet, except for your height, weight, and birthday, all other information is blank..."

Lan Li showed a look of interest, "I thought it was enough. For actors, do I need any special information? I think our work is the best business card."

Gavin couldn't help but was stunned, his expression was embarrassing for a moment-he was a reporter from US Weekly, and he was still used to interviews in a gossip way. Inquiry was their style. Now Lan Li suddenly fought back in such an upright manner. He was caught off guard, but fortunately, he was prepared well beforehand, and he quickly calmed down.

"That's what I mean. We don't have any information about your work at the moment, including your past experience. Of course, there are more detailed information. For example, we all know that you are British, but your Where exactly is your hometown? Does your blood come from a different ethnic group? Your experience when you were a child, and your experience after you grew up, as well as your color, pupil color and so on."

Listening to Gavin’s question, Lan Li couldn’t help but laughed, a bit ridiculous, and a bit funny, "You mean, someone really cares about these details? I think the United States is an immigrant country, and Hollywood embraces the world. Actors everywhere, no one cares about these trivial things. What's more, I am an actor, not a rugby player."

Gavin could feel the ridicule in Lanly’s words, but he did not panic, “Don’t you know? Recently, you have really created a lot of miracles, and the discussion about you in the Yahoo community has never stopped; However, there is really too little information about you so far. All netizens are actively expressing their views. All the issues I have just mentioned are topics discussed by people."

Lan Li pursed his lips and nodded slightly, but had no intention of answering. In Lan Li's view, the detailed and terminal information is not important at all, and he has no plans to become a model.

After Gavin finished the long talk, the room suddenly fell into silence. This made Gavin more nervous, wiped his hands and sweat subconsciously, and glanced down at the question list he prepared, "Then if you participate in an audition, , How would you introduce yourself?"

"Good morning, my name is Lanly Hall. I am twenty years old. Today I auditioned for the role of Paul Conroy. I have prepared a performance. Can I start now?"

After listening to Lan Li's answer, Gavin couldn't help but choked, and he was a little speechless. Lan Li's self-introduction was completely fine, but he didn't know how to answer the conversation. Then Gavin saw the smile on Lan Li's mouth, and he laughed out loud with a chuckle. Obviously, if you continue to follow the original interview method, then today's interview time will be wasted.

After thinking about it, Gavin simply put the list of questions back on the desktop and completely abandoned the original plan. "From the'Pacific War' to'Buried alive,' people gave a lot of praise for your performance, many people Guessing, you are an actor from a traditional academy, is that true?"

The interview finally raised a high-level question, “Yes, I graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and received a complete two-year college education.” Lan Li did not respond modestly to Gavin’s praise, frankly. Confidently replied, “During my studies at the academy, I spent about half a year as an intern in the West End of London. After graduation, I came to New York and fumbled for a while on Broadway until I got the opportunity to perform in the Pacific War. So. Yes, I did come from a traditional academy."

"West London? Off Broadway? For young people like you, it is rare to be able to calm down and engage in stage performances." Gavin was a little surprised.

As we all know, most British actors will constantly polish themselves in stage plays, but after many young actors come to Hollywood, they are often confused by the flowers and applause of Vanity Fair. Renly chose New York instead of Los Angeles, which is an interesting thing in itself.

"At the very beginning, this was the performance task of the academy, but standing on the stage to perform, the feeling is very special. Before you know it, you will become one with the character and truly feel the charm of the performance. "Len Li's face was full of interest. It can be seen that when he mentioned the performance, his eyes were shining with excitement, "After finishing the filming of the'Pacific War', I returned to New York again. Putting into the off-Broadway acting work, I had a very fulfilling life."

"From the'Pacific War' to'Buried alive', there is a time gap of more than half a year. Are you participating in the show on Off Broadway?" Gavin showed a surprised expression. This is the real accident. After all, "The Pacific War" "Li Lanli has already worked with top big names. After the filming, he was able to maintain a normal mind and return to off Broadway—and it is not Broadway. It is really impressive. "So, what is the name of the show? Yes. Is there any famous work?"

"No, no, no." Lan Li smiled brightly and shook his head, looking very relaxed. "Several plays I participated in are experimental works, and one of them was produced by Columbia University students. Don't mention the name. , Even the relevant information cannot be found on the Internet."

No wonder. This explains the reason. After mobilizing all netizens, they were unable to dig out more information.

"What I remember most is the performance in a semi-basement." Lan Li's expression showed a thoughtful look, and the corners of his relaxed mouth rose involuntarily. "There can only accommodate 30 people at most. When the performance was on that day, the audience There were only a dozen people, but the play mobilized a full 23 people. In other words, we even had more actors than the audience. Later, the actors who had no performance tasks all sat down and pretended to be audiences together. Follow along and applaud."

Lan Li himself couldn't help but smile, but Gavin showed a look of astonishment, "But that kind of performance experience is really special. Because these audiences are not high-level intellectuals on Broadway, they are just pure drama fans—and Or a boring audience, so their reaction is very direct, and they can often feel their emotions during the performance...hehe." Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, which made Gavin reveal a puzzled expression." In the end, I simply walked off the stage and invited the audience to join our performance. The performance that day was really interesting."

Gavin is really dumbfounded now. On the surface, Lanly is completely a gentleman who follows the rules, and even has the traditional British style of abstinence/desire; it is completely impossible to connect with things like off-Broadway and underground theaters with civilian qualities. . But thinking about it carefully, there is a huge difference between the two roles of Lan Li so far. This not only shows Lan Li’s ambition as an actor, but also shows Lan Li’s motivation to challenge the limit.

"I can't imagine such a picture, but I can imagine your joy and happiness." Gavin couldn't help but exclaimed, "Then you must have been uncomfortable during this period of time? Overnight, Suddenly all the spotlights are aimed at you, which is obviously a radical change from the previous life."

“In fact, before Toronto, I didn’t feel too real.” Lanly told the truth, “I can still go to the street normally, and I can go anywhere freely. Sometimes some viewers can recognize me, but they don’t. I can’t name my name. So, overall, I feel fine."

Seeing Lan Li's calm face, Gavin shrugged, "I don't know about the others, but for the media reporters, everyone is very lively. Now in the hotel corridor, there are at least 30 reporters waiting for interviews. Your chance. I am the first one today."

"I guess, the Emmy Award may still be a bit weighty." Lan Li's ridicule made Gavin laugh directly, and the next question came out.

"Since you won the Emmy Awards, you have continuously become the focus of discussion. Some people on the Internet even doubt whether you have a deep background in the entertainment industry. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is like Emma Roberts." Gavin finally asked. When it came to the first gossip, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, which reminded him of the first interview he got after becoming a reporter, young and excited.

"Haha." This was Lan Li's first reaction. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh again. "I have been crossing my fingers and praying for the coming of this day, but obviously, I lacked a little luck. "

"But, after the Emmy Awards, why did you choose to perform on the street? This is really surprising. Many people think that this was taken in advance." Gavin's questions began to become sharper and gradually revealed its edge. .

"If you want to think so, it's their freedom." Lan Li unexpectedly did not make any excuses, but shrugged his shoulders calmly, "Although I don't know, shoot a street performance video and upload it to YouTube. This What help is it to my career as an actor; but...it’s my honor to be able to entertain netizens."

The upright posture of the Blue Auditorium made Gavin's words speechless. He thought about it and asked aggressively, "So you mean, your family really doesn't have an acting background?"

"If there is, then what should it be?" Lan Li didn't evade anything, and asked directly back, Gavin was choked.
