The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1908: Flower Keeper
"If you know that Paul is suffering from PTSD and have asked these questions, what answers do you expect to receive?"
Such a tough and direct answer is obviously impossible to come from Paul's mouth.
Lan Li again!
There was a short period of dullness on the red carpet of the China/National Theater. Faced with Lan Li’s aggressive attack, the reporters all had headaches one by one, but there were still reporters who boldly and boldly launched the challenge. "But many readers hope To understand Paul’s situation, this is our right to know."
The reporter’s killer feature, Paul was a little nervous. Although he didn’t like those problems, he still didn’t want to offend the reporter, nor did he want Lan Li to be burdened by his own affairs. He couldn’t help but looked at Lan Li and tried to tell Lan Li: he’s okay. No need to worry about him, he can answer.
However, Lan Li did not respond to Paul's gaze. The smile on the corner of his mouth was still bright, but there was a sharp and heavy force in his eyes, "Which readers?"
Isn't this...
"I mean, which readers would like to know these questions? Are the audiences present? A string of numbers behind the Internet? Or are you guys who are trying to create gossip bursts... reporters?" Lan Li's words are still like a spring breeze, that sentence " The reporter even lightened his tone, revealing a gentleness, but the mockery hidden behind the light tone was projected very sharply towards the reporters in front of him.
Lanly did not intend to ask Paul to answer such unreasonably stupid questions: "Do you think you killed Roger?"
For the sake of God, this is equivalent to the torture of a supermarket tabloid to extract a confession. No one needs to answer such a question, and no reader needs to know the answer to this question. Now Lan Li didn't swear, it had already demonstrated his aristocratic etiquette, even if he hated the other party to his bones, he still kept a face for each other.
Faced with Lan Li’s aggressiveness, the reporters on the scene looked at each other, and they all died: This is the case with reporters. If they give three points of color, they will open the dyeing workshop. If they don’t express their position and attitude strongly, they will never be like hyenas. The prey that is let go to the mouth refuses to let go of the mouth even if the prey is torn to pieces.
Lan Li's expression still didn't change much, he just kept smiling and looked at Paul again, just like the press officer of a press conference, in charge of controlling the scene, but the protagonist's halo was still left to Paul-such an inverted illusion made Paul couldn't help. I laughed, this seems not quite right, shouldn't the protagonist today be Lan Li?
The reporters didn't care, paused for a moment, and then asked the question again, "Paul, may I ask you to leave the ‘Speed and Excitement/Emotion’ crew because of your discord with Van Diesel?"
It is another thorny problem, but it is also an expected problem. In any case, this is a problem that Paul must face after he chooses to quit. "Of course not." Paul kept his smile and explained patiently, "The main reason for choosing to leave is because of myself. I have already explained it before..." Paul had to explain the causes and consequences of his choice to leave again. The reporters didn't seem to believe the official statement in the video.
"There are rumors that you and Fan have many differences in the crew, and even refused to talk to each other. This is the real reason why you chose to withdraw from the series."
"The rumors are just rumors, this is not correct." Paul still had a good-tempered appearance, and said patiently, then raised his eyes and glanced at Lan Li, and then made a little joke." Fan and I say "Hi" every time we meet."
It is rare to see Paul joking, and the reporters were a little caught off guard: Paul broke his studies with Renly!
"So, are you and Fan still friends?"
"Of course. We have known each other for more than ten years, and we have been fighting side by side for a long time; although we have different opinions, I still respect his ideas. If you ask me if I will have a candlelight dinner with him, then the answer is No; but if you ask if we are friends, it is yes.” Paul replied earnestly. After speaking, he glanced at Lan Li again, and then couldn't help laughing.
The reporters on the scene looked dumbfounded: This is definitely not Paul's style, but more like Lanly's style. It's just that Paul's answer lacks the charm of Lanly, does not have that kind of ridicule and joking, and is more like a simple statement of a good student, so the effect of the black humor is lost.
The reporters guessed it right. The remarks just now were Lan Li's standard answer, and Paul just moved here in a picture. Before attending today’s premiere, Paul knew that journalists would never miss the key gossip questions, but he didn’t know how to answer them.
To be honest, in his entire career, he has never dealt with such gossip, and he has never encountered even a slightly sharper problem. He has never been the focus of the audience during the film promotion. Now he suddenly needs to face it. He has no idea how to deal with so many news topics.
Finally... In the end, Paul asked Ranley the same question, but Ranley didn't need to think at all. His handy complaints blurred the focus of the question, humorously and playfully shifted all the sharp contradictions, but answered speciously. The questions asked by the reporters.
Paul can't do the leisurely stroll of Lanli, but it is not difficult to follow the outline. It is a pity that it is difficult to paint a tiger and paint a bone. He still has not learned the essence.
The reporters looked at Paul and then at Lan Li. Suddenly a curious thought came up, "Lan Li, are you playing Paul’s flower protector today?"
After the problem came up, the reporter and the surrounding audience laughed collectively; but after thinking about it, it seemed so harmonious that the laughter was unstoppable.
Paul himself clapped his hands and laughed heartily, but the central figure being asked, Lan Li, remained calm, "Do you have any comments?"
This is tantamount to acknowledging, but... the reporters seem to be unable to provoke either-no, I dare not have any opinions. Then, the reporters were a little bit ridiculous, and the surrounding audience laughed more and more joyously.
Only then did the reporters come to their senses. Today is Lan Li’s home court. They have just spent countless hours and energy on Paul and completely robbed of Lan Li’s light. However, Lan Li didn’t mind at all, and instead curbed his breath. The venue stood beside it, like a bodyguard, and even played the role of a press officer as a cover for Paul. Such a scene is really interesting; more importantly, such a mind, such a temperament, once again demonstrated the background of Lan Li , Is absolutely unique among the top of the Hollywood pyramid.
"Len Li, don't you mind if this is your movie premiere?" A reporter carefully asked a question, and after speaking, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, lest he would be punished severely by Lan Li.
But he did not expect that Lan Li showed a big smile, and said briskly, "Why should I mind? Paul helped to share all my propaganda work, right?"
Such an interpretation angle is really... unique, but if you think about it seriously, it seems to be correct. I always feel that something is wrong but I can't tell it. Shouldn't all the stars in the premiere be locked on the protagonist? No one wants their brilliance to be shared; but the attention of the premiere also means a heavy publicity task. The more the protagonist, the more exhausted and the more serious the responsibility. Once the box office loses, it may be necessary to carry a scapegoat.
So, what's wrong with Lan Li's ridicule just now?
"What's more, even if I mind, you won't be obedient, will you?" Lan Li added.
Obedient?
Why does it feel more and more weird? Reporters always feel like they have been spit out, but they will not be able to say one for a while, especially when they look at the laughable expressions of the surrounding audience, this feeling becomes more and more indescribable-they always feel as if they are being slapped. Molested. The feeling of nightmare every time I stand in front of Lan Li comes back again.
"Renley, it is rumored that Paul left the'Speed and Excitement/Emotion' crew partly because of your feud with Van Diesel. Is this true?"
"No." Blue Auditorium said righteously. His personal grievances with Diesel are one thing, but Paul's fate with the movie is another. Renly has never turned his ideas into imposing on Paul. If Paul chooses to stay, Renly will also support it 100%.
Because Lan Li’s answer was so swift and sharp that the reporters couldn’t react to it—the original response that was so decisive may also be a strong backlash from a guilty conscience. There are still many opportunities for reporters to take advantage of the loopholes; but Lan Li’s answer is too much. After being precise and neat, it seemed that all the room for maneuver was cut off. In the end, the thoughts that were surging in the reporters' minds were still not able to be expressed ~lightnovelpub.net~ but accidentally created a short silence.
But fortunately, there were more than two hundred reporters in the audience. They were not fighting alone. One was speechless, and the other came forward. They bombarded each other completely in a relay mode, so there was no need to worry. Can't handle it, "Lenly, are you friends with Van Diesel?"
"No." The answer was still upright, without even unnecessary excuses and cover-ups, so he gave an affirmative answer frankly and directly.
In fact, the tit-for-tat relationship between Renly and Diesel has long been no secret within the industry. More often, Diesel showed offensive unilaterally, while Renly launched a counterattack without showing weakness. But the two have never admitted in public that their relationship is bad.
Until today.
Renly didn't even joking humorously, and there was no polite round scene, so he confessed directly—could it be that Renly and Diesel had officially torn their faces? Does this mean that all the gossip in the past can be unearthed for discussion and discussion? This immediately made the reporters excited collectively.
