The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1973: cultural difference
Adjusting his breathing, not taking a deep breath, hiding under the calm appearance, Lan Li is slowly adjusting his physical condition, and finally gradually calmed down.
"Nathan, is there still water in the water glass?" Lan Li let out a sigh of relief, suppressing the restlessness in his body, and the hoarse voice successfully concealed the beating heart, still maintaining the surface calmness and calmness. It seems to be just a little bit tired in the early hours of the morning.
After Nathan asked the girl’s mailing address, he quickly chased him up and returned to Lan Li. He nodded immediately when he heard the inquiry. He just asked for a thermos in the VIP room, and put some clothes on. Warm water-Although Nathan can't understand why Lan Li drinks warm water, shouldn't he drink chicken soup or hot wine? But at this time, Nathan still passed the warm water cup immediately.
Lan Li drank two sips of water, and his dry throat was like a desert encountering rain. At last he felt a little more comfortable, and then he could see Nathan's scorching eyes staring at him with worry, which made Lan Li reveal something. A light smile, "Staring at me again, this face will be seen through."
A joke made Nathan feel a little more at ease. He continued to raise his head and glanced at Lan Li secretly. He was sure that Lan Li seemed to be probably okay. His uneasy mood calmed down a bit, took the thermos, and stood again. Behind Lan Li, there was nothing to say.
Lan Li turned his head and saw the fans who were still standing not far away. He looked down at the "joke" in his hand again, a little bit annoyed, but was still impulsive just now—or he didn't have all the gifts. Accept, now once a precedent is set, what will other fans think?
With a light sigh, Lan Li whispered to Nathan, "You told them not to give expensive gifts. I am very grateful for their kindness, but those gifts are too expensive." Then Lan Li also joked. He said, "You know, I actually don't mind if they make dish towels."
Roy stood by and rolled his eyes, "Be careful to make a wish."
Lan Li couldn't help but laugh, and paused, he seemed to have noticed Nathan's anxiety in advance——
Nathan's mind is not firm enough, maybe he was forced into his hands by fans?
This thought made the corners of Lan Li's mouth rise slightly, "You tell them that the heart is the most important thing. I still hope to communicate with you through movies and music. This is more important than a gift. By the way, if they are tough Give it to you, you must not accept it, otherwise, you may lose the job."
Lan Li's joking words made Nathan's cheeks pale, and he looked at Lan Li in panic, squirming his lips, but couldn't make a sound.
Lan Li didn't explain, he chuckled again, and patted Nathan on the shoulder, "Go over, thank you for me."
Nathan nodded ignorantly, then turned and walked towards the fans, but hesitated in his footsteps, as if he was about to face the three-headed dog of hell. The wary back made Lan Li's body a little relaxed. A little bit.
Turning his head, Lan Li saw Annie’s curious and surprised eyes, because they were so close to each other, even if they didn’t want to eavesdrop, there was no way to avoid it, so Annie said generously, "You are used to it. Up?"
Lan Li hooked her mouth, "Annie, this is the second time I have arrived here." Annie didn't believe it at all. The questioning eyes made Lan Li spread her hands, "I'm serious, last time I was here. 'Gravity', this time is'Interstellar Crossing', and that's it." In order to promote the movie, there were indeed only two times, and Lan Li didn't lie.
Annie pressed her lips. Although she still didn't believe it, she fell on the "joke" in Lan Li's hand, but she could faintly notice a little difference. After all, such a gift is definitely not something ordinary fans can think of. Yes, in the end, I didn’t say much, but cast my gaze in the direction of Nathan and the fans again, full of curiosity——
There is no way, she has never seen such a phenomenon in North America, even if she has never heard of it, watching fans holding piles of luxury goods into the arms of their favorite actors is really a spectacle. The emotions of novelty and shock made the sleepy bugs run away a lot.
Cultural differences can always open up horizons.
"You said, are we now Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart?" Annie slapped Lanly with her shoulder lightly, and said jokingly, that playful demeanor possessed a girlish spirit. Quirky, with a humorous style that belongs to Anne's peculiar humor in the ridicule.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who became national icons because of "Twilight", may be the actors closest to "idols" in the American entertainment circle in recent years; as for singers, one-way bands and Justin Bieber and so on are countless, but Annie is not sure, whether those idols can also be treated like this, this is the closest analogy in her mind.
Lan Li raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and squinted at Annie, "This is your best standard? God, I'm hurt. I thought it could be Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman at least. Or Blatt Pitt and Jennifer Aniston." These two couples were the best couples in the United States that year, and their influence was much greater than that of the "Twilight Couple".
Annie narrowed her mouth and shook her head. "They all ended up breaking up. I don't think this is an appropriate metaphor."
Lanly did not refute, "Then at least it should be Ben Affleck and Matt Damon."
"Haha!" Annie laughed happily after a chuckle, and the laughter vibrated loudly. Only then did she realize that her laughter was too exaggerated, and quickly stopped the sound, but the smile deep in her eyes was still there. Surging, "I’m serious, I mean, someone followed us inside the airport and gave gifts. I really haven’t heard of this kind of treatment, even Robert Pattinson and Christine. -Stewart doesn't seem to have ever, you say, where did they come from?"
This is definitely a big mystery, and Annie has no idea at all.
Lan Li just heard a little bit, "You know, there is an action in Asian fan culture called'follow the machine'. The specific meaning is that they will master the idol’s passport number through their own channels, or work from the airport. The personnel bought the information to check the idol’s flight in advance..."
"What?" Before Lan Li's words could be finished, Annie exclaimed. Even Nolan approached, listening with surprise in her eyes, "Isn't this a leak of personal privacy? So... Is there really no need to call the police like this?"
Lan Li lightly chins his head, "Yes, their investigative ability and penetration ability are comparable to private detectives. I think they can become talents in the future when they go out of society." Whether this is praise or ridicule, it is still not clear. Maybe it's both. "No matter what, after they investigate the itinerary, they will buy the ticket for the same flight. If they are lucky, they can even sit next to their idol. Even if they are not so lucky, they will You can walk around in the cabin, or just like this, you can contain your idol in the airport ahead of time, and get in close contact for the first time."
As for today’s situation, the publicity schedule of "Interstellar Crossing" is completely public, and Warner Bros. also hopes to create more interactions on social networks in this way. Therefore, fans do not need detective skills to know their movements. , It becomes easier to follow closely.
"Wow." In addition to being exclaimed, Annie and Nolan didn't know what to do. This was...unheard of, really really shocking.
At this moment, the fans seemed to perceive the curious sights of Annie and Nolan, and they all began to scream and cheer. The lively sound continued to surging in the airport lobby, and you could clearly feel the billowing heat. ; At the same time, the arrival hall outside the airport hall can also start to hum, responding one after another, surrounded by restlessness, that unique feeling is also very rare.
"What about the cost?" Nolan retracted his gaze and couldn't help but ask curiously, but Annie rolled her eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with Nolan's focus.
But what Nolan said is true, because it is absolutely expensive-even for members of the promotional crew, their travel expenses are reimbursed by the film company. If it is out of pocket, it is another matter.
Lan Li said, "I don't know this very well. I just heard about it, but I can't verify it. I only heard that some fans are really rich, and their superior family background can fully support their star-chasing action; some of them are really rich. Fans, they are like those collectors~lightnovelpub.net~ they accumulate all the pocket money. They may do this once or twice a year, just like comic collectors or hand collectors. Not necessarily rich but invested enough."
Annie and Nolan suddenly realized, but they were still shocked.
"There are also some fans who are smart people. They have evolved into an industry chain through their own star-chasing actions." Lan Li's words were interrupted again before he could finish. This time it was Nolan. With the back of his hand behind him, he directly shook the free hand decisively, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Lan Li was not in a hurry. He just looked at Nolan with a smile and paused before saying, “On the one hand, they can pretend that they are in and out of the same occasions as top stars and package themselves as insiders or upper-level people. This can attract a lot of people. For fans, even to attract sponsors, there are many such accounts on the photo wall and Twitter, and this is also true in China. On the other hand, they can take first-hand photos at close range, even exclusive, and then print them into albums. Selling inside fans is very valuable."
This can definitely be said to open the door to a whole new world!
