The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 42: Magazine interview
"Here, here!" Edith raised her right hand and scratched the side of her cheek. The straightforward words had an irrefutable deterrent. The leather jacket was thrown aside, and T was rolled up. The sleeves of the shirt, the resolute and strong posture easily controlled the audience, "It's best to relax your expression. You don't want me to come forward and adjust my expression with both hands."
"Puff", Lamy didn't hold back, he laughed out loud, and then saw Lan Li who was sitting in front of the French window silently spreading out his book with his hands and shrugging his shoulders with a helpless expression. Lamy covered his mouth, but found that he couldn't stop at all. It was rare to see Lan Li's bewildered look.
Compared with the camera lens, Lan Li seems to be quite uncomfortable with the camera lens.
"click", but Edith quickly pressed the shutter, grasping the moment keenly, and then lowered her head to check the results just now.
In the photo, Lan Li’s movements are vivid, as if he had actually captured that frame, his sparse eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly. The emotions in those narrow eyes were so vivid. Playful, innocent, and rebellious, but caught by light and shadow, from an instant to an eternity.
Edith raised her head and raised her voice and said, "Okay, just this one." Then she saw Lan Li's jaw-dropping appearance, she was laughing deep in her heart, but she still maintained her professionalism on the surface. , "Didn't you hear? I said, that's all right. You go for an interview first, and then wait for the group photo to be taken. Next!"
No time for Lan Li to refute at all, Edith forced a switch.
Lan Li stood silently on the spot for two seconds, and finally his shoulders were still drooping, resigned to leave the window sill, and stepped towards the interview area. Seeing Lan Li's frustrated back, Edith felt that she could barely hold back her smile.
When Edith started learning photography, Lan Li was the first to shoot. She was really familiar with Lan Li. Lan Li is not suitable for static. When he is quiet, he needs to calm down completely. If he is aware of the presence of the camera, his muscles will become stiff. Often the camera can’t capture his charm, and sometimes even looks funny; Lan Li needs to exercise Get up—especially when you laugh, it’s the best look. The moment when the smile blooms, there is always a kind of bright sunshine that clears the clouds and mist, which makes people feel involuntarily uplifted and exudes a likable taste.
Therefore, Edith deliberately broke the rigidity of Lan Li and released this feeling of freedom. As expected, he captured the most vivid moment. The unique temperament was interpreted as if the film was frozen. The long lasting flavor of the tea fragrance.
Lan Li pressed the corners of his mouth vigorously to avoid laughter; try to slow down his pace, don't run away, drag a heavier pace to move on, but he has already begun to celebrate with flowers in his heart: finally It's an escape!
When Edith was just learning photography in the past, she always used him as a model, and no matter what he was doing, Edith just clicked and snapped around, taking several hours each time he moved. , He was so nervous that he was always very resistant to taking pictures later.
Before taking makeup photos for the "Pacific War", the photographer had been chanting for a long time, saying that his expression seemed as if everyone owed him money. In this regard, Lan Li also has a hard time talking about some things, even if they are reborn, it does not mean that they will be able to go smoothly.
Today, he was mentally prepared. He didn't expect that Edith only took five minutes to complete the filming. Lan Li let out a long sigh and left quickly, but he still had to pretend to be unwilling to be frustrated, so that Edith thought she had succeeded, otherwise he would continue to suffer.
The interview area is arranged in the bedroom-the outside living room is left for Edith to play freely. Today’s interview is "Vanity Fair", this comprehensive entertainment magazine is one of Hollywood’s most influential media. Except for the annual Oscar night, this magazine itself has a huge reader base and the content covers entertainment. , Fashion, sports, photography, etc., and the columns, essays, and comments are of excellent standards and are highly praised by professionals.
HBO attaches great importance to the "Pacific War", and its investment of up to 220 million US dollars is almost twice that of "Brothers", topping the list of the most expensive TV series in film history; plus the two golden words of Tom and Steven The appeal of the signboard has attracted much attention since the beginning of the project, and now it is finally about to be broadcast, so the publicity strategy naturally spares no effort.
"Vanity Fair" is about to kick off.
After Jon Seda finished the interview, Lanly walked forward and sat down opposite the reporter.
The reporter in front of me is a woman about thirty-five years old. Those slender legs in black stockings are undoubtedly the most eye-catching. The dignified and solemn black professional suit does not conceal her body superiority. She reveals something all over her body. The strength of self-confidence-the same is true when you think about it. If you want to make a big difference in the press where men have an absolute advantage, it is either the vase advantage or the absolute strength.
"Daisy-Lucas." The woman first introduced herself generously, but before Lan Li could speak, she continued, "Lan Li-Hall, right?"
Lan Li was a little nervous, the feeling of being interviewed was completely different from standing in front of the camera. Since his rebirth, Lan Li has been working hard for the dream of an actor, so when he really stood in front of the camera, he was more excited and excited than nervous; but the interview was a completely unfamiliar field. After sitting down , Even Lan Li himself didn't expect it, the heart began to hit quickly, and the tight mood seemed restless.
Daisy took the initiative to kill Lan Li by surprise. He almost reflexively made a joke, "You didn't make a mistake in your preparations."
There is no newcomer’s stage fright, which makes Daisy's mouth slightly sigh, but there is no extra sigh, and she directly asks, "As a newcomer, I play the leading role in a TV series with the highest investment in history like the Pacific War. How do you feel?"
A seemingly normal question, but Lan Li smelled of danger—this was his first media interview, and it was a routine propaganda of the "Pacific War". Did Vanity Fair plan to dig pits from the beginning? ? Instead, the tension gradually calmed down. "First of all, just like'Brothers', I don't think that the'Pacific War' has absolute protagonists. James, Jon, and Lamy all have important roles. I am only one of them."
Immediately, Renly showed a smile, "Of course, being one of them is indeed a magical experience for me. You know, this is Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. The series produced, right?" Lan Li was a little excited. For the first time, he showed his enthusiasm as a fan in his heart. "Besides, the series of'The Company of Brothers' I had watched at least Ten times. So, it's crazy, it's all crazy."
This time, Daisy started to find it interesting, she had just asked casually. In HBO's official information, Eugene is indeed the first protagonist. Although the whole series is a three-protagonist model, Lan Li's name is indeed placed first.
You know, those big-name movie stars have tried their best and countless methods in order to compete for the order of the ending subtitles. A pure newcomer like Lan Li was actually placed first. Daisy took it for granted. of.
did not expect, but in exchange for Lan Li's old and ingenious answer, and at the same time with the excitement of passionate fans in his tone, this kind of vicissitudes and immature contradictory temperament actually appeared in the same person, it is really amazing.
"So, how do you feel after the real collaboration?" Daisy asked.
Lan Li thinks that the interview is a very interesting thing. You come and go, just like a game of chess. What's more interesting is that sometimes actors have to hide their true self during the interview in order to achieve the effect of publicity. Continuing the performance reminds Lan Li of the movie "Trumen's World". How much of life under the spotlight is real and how much is false?
"Disappointment." The thoughts in Lan Li's mind were turbulent and calm in an instant. He replied with a smile. Sure enough, a look of interest flashed through Daisy's eyes. The process of this game is really interesting. "Because Tom Obviously not staying in the crew with Steven every day, UU reading www.uukanshu.com most of the time, we are focused on shooting, or in other words, the shooting process is too hard to think about other things. When the crew was finalized, the number of times I talked with Tom and Steven was counted with one hand. I guess, this is real life."
The ridiculous remarks made Daisy smile and chuckled softly, "This is a fact. Then, after shooting the Pacific War as your first work, how do you feel? It's also disappointment?"
Actually, the focus of today's interview should be the "Pacific War". All the actors in the entire crew are unknown. The content of the interview should be based on the drama, so that people can learn more about all aspects of the drama, or the behind-the-scenes footage. But Daisy couldn't help but began to lean the question on Lan Li.
"I would say that I am lost, and there are some regrets." Lan Li's answer seemed quite normal, which made Daisy a little disappointed. "However, I can be sure that I will not want to do it again. Because the whole shooting process is too much. It's hard work." As the interview progressed, the tension disappeared completely, and Lan Li gradually became accustomed to the rhythm of the conversation.
However, in the first interview, Lan Li still seemed a little excited, speaking at a slightly faster rate than usual. While interviewing, I recalled the situation during the shooting in my mind. This feeling is really special, "Before the official shooting, we Once organized a boot camp, just like the'brother company', we thought at the time that maybe this might not pass. But then we learned that after the boot camp, this was just the beginning. I thought, The crew hopes that in this way, let us experience the astonishment when we actually stepped into the war."
"Haha!" Daisy couldn't help but laughed out loud.
