The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 483: Blurt out
"Do you know Lan Li?"
It was just a simple sentence, but it immediately pushed Chris to the corner, with nowhere to go. He felt like a mess of woolen yarn, unable to distinguish the end of the thread at all, it was terrible.
He completely forgot about it, actually forgot! Before that, whether in public or private, he had never mentioned his relationship with Lan Li, and he didn't want to mention it.
Because in the past six months, Lanly has been so dazzling, so brilliant, so dazzling, just like a dazzling sun, and radiant. It seems that everyone is praising him, from Toronto to Sundance, from Golden Globes to Oscars, From “buried alive” to “crazy in love”, step by step, it gradually climbed to an unattainable height. The Oscar nomination for best actor, he actually won the Oscar nomination that countless people have been pursuing tirelessly all their lives!
Chris didn't want to be a foil. Therefore, he refused to mention Lan Li, refused to let people know that he was a roommate of Lan Li, and even refused to admit that he had lived in New York. It was like a scar. After bleeding and purulent, the scab formed successfully, and then I didn't want to mention it again.
What is even more absurd is that Lanly was absent from the Oscars.
Some people couldn't ask for it, but some people gave it up. This reminded Chris of "Thor", everything is so familiar, that pretentious and self-righteous appearance has never changed, and people gritted their teeth.
Now, in a panic, Chris himself opened the wound and revealed the secret. The shame that burst out at that moment almost covered the anger and bit his heart. Damn blue gift. But Chris is no longer a rookie a year ago. Under the guidance of Fisher Morgan, he also clearly realizes how important a good public image is.
Brad Pitt, this is the development template that Fisher chose for him.
"Ha, we used to be roommates for a while." Chris tried to stay calm, trying to uncover the secret in a half-joking way, saying that he didn't care, but the turbulent emotions made his voice a little tight and his expression a little bit tight. It is unnatural, and the effect is really unsatisfactory.
Elliott and Joey exchanged their sights again, and surprises appeared in both eyes-the most watched Lan Li in the past six months, and Chris, who will unveil the summer curtain next, is actually a roommate? Simply make up for it, and you will know that there are countless contents waiting to be explored, and more importantly, the attitude of Chris just now...
"So, Lan Li did receive an invitation from Thor?" Eliot asked impatiently. He is not a kind-hearted Santa Claus, and he will never give Chris a chance to breathe.
"Yes, yes." Chris tried to lengthen his ending and buy himself more time to think, but the shame and anger in his mind still gurgled like boiling water, and he couldn't calm down and think slowly." He was invited at the beginning, but he was not interested in the role, and he didn't even participate in the audition." Chris added eagerly, "So, I don't know how the rumors came out. When Lanly knows, he will definitely do it. It was entertained."
After speaking, Chris also laughed dryly twice, trying to enliven the atmosphere, but the effect looked really mediocre.
Joey immediately asked, "So after Renly declined the invitation, did he recommend you to Kenneth?"
"No!" Chris said categorically, urgently and fiercely. Those eyes couldn't help but round up, bursting out fierce rays, and even the anger between the eyebrows could be clearly seen, burning. "I won it entirely on my own strength! My strength!"
Joey was startled by such a violent answer. In fact, Joey just talked casually.
For one thing, Kenneth’s love for Shakespeare’s plays is well-known. If Renly participates in the audition, he will definitely favor Renly; secondly, Renly and Chris are roommates and take it for granted that they are two people. There will be exchanges between them, especially when Lan Li is not interested.
Unexpectedly, it triggered such a radical reaction from Chris, which became more intriguing.
"I mean, we rarely talk about work. Regarding the audition for Thor, I have not discussed the audition with Lan Li. What's more, Lan Li did not meet with Kenneth, so naturally there was no opportunity to mention it. It's time." Although Chris closed his tone and resolved the extreme extremism in a half-joking manner, it is clear that whether someone else buys it is beyond Chris's control.
"Chris,'Thor' will be released in the second week of May; and Renly's performance of'Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5'will also be released on the same schedule. If I remember correctly, it should be May. The first week. Have you talked about this with Lanly?" Elliott seized the opportunity keenly, gave up the previous topic decisively, and threw another bait.
At this time, Elliott was quick to think, quick to smell, and quick to react, which was simply impressive. Standing next to Joey immediately understood Eliot's intentions, and couldn't help but thumb up in his heart, but his eyes locked on Chris motionlessly, waiting for the big news.
"Uh, no." Chris was still a little jerky. When he was nervous, he couldn't help but have a big tongue, and the Australian accent came out again. Thinking in his mind, should he answer "yes" or "no", which one is the correct answer, but time is running out, he has no time to think deeply, so he can only follow the guidelines of the first reaction, "We don’t Talking about work matters, leave the work in the office, don’t you?"
Chris spread out his hands and showed his trademark sunny smile, trying to show off his charm and win a short breathing space.
But apparently, Eliot had no such plan, and aggressively asked, "Then you haven't talked about this competition either? Two works will be released one after the other. There is bound to be a duel between sparks hitting the earth, who is it? Will you win? What do you think?"
Chris opened his mouth and wanted to answer, but Eliot did not stop, and continued the long talk, "Recently, Lanly's upward momentum has been so impressive that he even missed the show just to concentrate on the performance. After the Oscars, many people feel awkward. Now, his latest film is about to be released, and many people are bound to support it. What's more, there are Van Diesel and Paul Walker that everyone loves."
The anger has never been extinguished, and now Eliot's words have added fuel to the fire. Chris opened his mouth again, ready to answer, but he still didn’t find a gap, and he uttered a syllable, which was interrupted by Joey. “Relatively speaking,'Thor' is just the beginning of the series. Under the circumstances, the entire crew also underwent significant pressure. As a newcomer, before Thor, the audience had limited knowledge of you. So, do you still have enough confidence in the box office?"
"Of course!" Chris replied without hesitation.
"Are you confident in defeating Renly too?" Eliot saw a needle.
"Of course!" Impulse is the devil. After destroying reason, he blurted out unstoppably, and the raging anger almost burned the reason.
Damn it! The "Speed and Excitement/Emotion" series simply cannot be put on the stage. The first three works are completely "B-level films", with a mediocre box office, mediocre word of mouth, and mediocre revenue. If it weren't for Universal Pictures really not good at shooting sequels, There is no series that can be obtained, just change a company, this series should be finished as early as the second part.
Such works are not at the same level as "Thor", and there is no comparability between the two! Even Universal Pictures itself thinks so-
"Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5" chose the last week of April and the first week of May. This year, April 29th is Friday, which also means that they chose the end of the spring season. Avoiding the strong summer files, hoping to accumulate more box office for the movie because of the weakness of competitors.
And "Thor"? As the unveiling movie of the summer season of 2011, it was aggressive and powerful. Since December of last year, Paramount has started to promote it one after another, and even bought the Super Bowl halftime show advertising time to create for the movie. Momentum.
Undoubtedly, this is the most advantageous assault pioneer this year. Major film companies have avoided its edge. Disney simply moved "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" to the fourth week of May, which made a relative appearance in the third week of May. Weak gap. The reason couldn't be more obvious~lightnovelpub.net~The industry believes that Thor's two consecutive championships are a certainty, and no one wants to face such an opponent head-on.
"Thor" crushes "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5", does this still need to be asked? Isn't it a fact that has long been established?
A glimmer of ecstasy flashed through Eliot's eyes, and he succeeded! He succeeded in achieving his goal. If every artist cooperates in this way, he can buy a house in Burbank this year. But Elliott did not relax, and pressed forward again and again, "So, do you think'Thor' can easily beat'Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5'?"
Chris tried to relax himself, but Eliot didn't give him a chance at all. The fierce flame in his chest kept burning, burning all his sanity, and before he came back to his senses, the answer was the third time he blurted out ,"of course!"
After speaking, Chris finally noticed something was wrong. He tried to explain, but his brain was blank. He couldn't move for a while. He opened his mouth. There was no sound at all. He could only pull the corners of his mouth, revealing. Smile, conceal the tension of the scene.
"Very well, it couldn't be better to see you so confident." Eliot said with a smile, and then he turned and left, just like that. There was Joey who left together.
Things changed too quickly. In a blink of an eye, Chris stood alone, watching the two paparazzi, walking briskly, drifting away.
After a sea breeze blew and the sweat dried out, Chris couldn't help but shudder, and then he reacted: What happened just now? What is going on? Where did the paparazzi's first question come from? What's wrong with the question later? What is going on all this?
Lan Li, it must be Lan Li, malicious hype! Absolutely!
