One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Five Self-Confidence Mode

"It's like going home."

Renly said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity, but all the reporters and staff present only thought that Renly was talking politely.

This is a beautiful misunderstanding.

The reporters could not help but exchange a tacit glance, as if to say: It turns out that the famous Renly Hall is still doing as the locals do. Is it so high up and out of reach?

At the same time, the host also calmed down a little, and the familiar polite scene remarks returned to his usual track again, his expression returned to calm again, he regained control of the situation at the scene, and made an inviting gesture, indicating that Renly should be there The blue-grey sofa sits behind him.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he gestured to the simultaneous translator again, waiting for the translator to sit down behind Renly before the host completely found his own safety area.

"Welcome to the magic capital." After a simple polite greeting, the host started today's premiere press conference with an interview, "I heard before that you are very familiar with Chinese culture, and you are also very familiar with Chinese culture. We are fluent in Chinese, but after we really got to know each other, we are still surprised. Your pronunciation is very standard and your meaning is very clear. It can be seen that you are not just polite. So, the first time you arrive Devil, how do you feel?"

"Haha." Ren Li chuckled, "Thanks for the compliment."

This feeling is extremely strange, but it is a matter of course that has become a highly praised skill; especially when the interpreter at the back is dutifully repeating the host's words in English, the situation becomes more subtle. This brought a faint smile to Renly's eyes.

Renly decided that he should try to play his role and avoid more shocks, and replied in English, "To be honest, I don't have time to browse the streets of the city right now, so I can't make more comments, but this is a very It's a charming city, and it's also a very welcoming city, which I knew when I first arrived at the airport."

"As for more feelings, I think I can only publish it after I taste the snacks here." Renly restrained his humor and answered dutifully. Maybe this way, the press conference interview will be smoother.

"Of course! Of course!" The host nodded again and again, with a surprised expression on his face, "We have all seen relevant news on Weibo, the airport pick-up team is really spectacular, how do you feel about this? "

"How do you feel about so-and-so".

This is almost standard for a premiere press conference,

Especially in the overseas promotion process after leaving North America, it is not uncommon for the interviewee to express praise and wonder in various ways to please the local audience. This is a fixed process, but it seems a bit tedious.

"Frightened. I must admit, my first reaction when I saw such a large crowd was fright. I also discussed it with my agent Andy on the way from the airport to the hotel. ' Renly's unexpected answer made a small surprise, and then they discussed it enthusiastically, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

The words are not over yet, and then he continued, "So far, I only have one movie released in the mainland, and it is not starring me, I think, Paul Walker or Vin Diesel should have more fans here, But obviously the fans today gave me a huge surprise, which is really hard to come by."

Because of Renly's relaxed and cheerful way of answering, the atmosphere became a little more harmonious, and it seemed that everyone was getting used to today's situation: What does it feel like to be a Uranus superstar at a press conference? And how should media reporters grasp the scale of the interview?

The host replied in a roundabout way, "The audience in the mainland still watched your works through other means, and we are trying to keep up with the pace of the times; at the same time, there are many profound insights into your performance and your talent. It can be said that there is indeed a huge group in the mainland who likes you very much."

resource.

The corresponding words appeared in Renly's mind, how could he forget this. Although the works that mainland cinemas can enjoy is really limited, the development and convenience of the Internet age allows audiences to enjoy all the film works from all over the world and the entire film history without leaving home.

After reacting, Renly lowered his jaw meaningfully, "I see. I think this is something to be affirmed. Compared with publicity, I am still more accustomed to using works to communicate. The audience always It is possible to glimpse some of my insights and experiences as an actor in the film works. I should be a better way of communication.”

"Is it the same for 'Gravity' this time?" The host finally cut into the topic at the right time.

Then, the press conference went back to the normal process, and Renly officially began to discuss the film, talking about the anecdote of the shooting of "Gravity", the echo of the film in North America, and the difference in character performance; Talking about more works, "Drunken Country Ballad" and "Edge of Tomorrow", etc., including the feeling of winning EGOT at such a young age.

Due to the limited time for the press conference, the entire conversation did not go into much in-depth discussion, but just picked out some of the most popular topics and chatted a few words, so that the audience could have a more comprehensive and relatively simple understanding of Renly, After all, this is only the first time Renly has come to the Magic Capital to promote——

Most of the craze right now is probably just for fun, and only a tiny fraction of the audience really gets to know Renly. Now is an opportunity.

Such small talk was not difficult for Renly, it was like a brief review, no in-depth analysis, just recollection.

The first phase of the press conference ended with ease, and then entered the second phase, and the live media reporters finally waited for the moment to play.

"Renly, I heard it before at the Berlin Film Festival. You are quite familiar with Chinese-language films. In recent years, have you ever watched Chinese-language films, and have you learned about them?"

"Unfortunately, because of work, I have almost no time to watch movies in recent years. Not only Chinese movies, but all movies as a whole, the viewing time is shortening." Renly told the truth, "Now, if there is time In other words, I am more inclined to read or exercise outdoors, but consciously gradually distance myself from film and maintain the vitality of creation.”

"What about the previous films? What about the Chinese-language films and Chinese directors that you are most impressed with now?"

"'Infernal Affairs', 'In the Mood for Love', 'Farewell My Concubine'... These works have left a very deep impression on people; I still clearly remember Mr. Yang/De/Chang's 'Guling Street Boys' "The Murder Incident", the nearly four-hour viewing process, but I didn't feel the torment and pain at all, but a pure enjoyment. For the script, for the shots, and for the atmosphere, the powerful force revealed by the film is undoubtedly the biggest in the film. One of the charms."

Without any hesitation, Renly said the answer directly, and you can clearly feel it between the lines. This is definitely an insight that can only be obtained after having a deep understanding and precipitation of Chinese movies. The only pity is that these films are relatively remote in age, and the modern part is important missing.

Renly then said, "As for the Chinese director, personally, Lee/Ann and I are familiar friends, and we have met many times on different occasions. I still love his 'Brokeback Mountain' very much. , belonging to the East, the emotions are delicate and restrained, but long and profound.”

With Renly's answer, the next question followed, "Then, if there is a chance to cooperate, would you like it?"

"Collaboration?" Renly raised his eyebrows, "You mean, filming a Chinese-language film? Or cooperating with a Chinese director?" Without waiting for the reporter's answer, Renly said with a smile, "If it is a Chinese-language film, then It’s a pity that I don’t think my Chinese is good enough to participate in it; and if it’s a Chinese director, in Cannes in the first half of the year, Li and I also discussed the possibility of cooperation, but we still need to look at the schedule.”

This was an expected question; yet Renly chose not to speak out.

To be honest, the Chinese-language film production industry is declining steadily. After the millennium, it began to decline all the way. Now it has been left behind by its East Asian neighbors Japan and South Korea. Although the box office performance has been improving by leaps and bounds, the quality of the works is really impressive It's hard to compliment; as for co-productions, it's even more appalling.

The 1980s and 1990s, which belonged to the peak period of Chinese-language films, are gone forever.

Renly had no interest.

But in the end, he didn't tell the truth, but used Chinese as an excuse to cover up. As a layman in the mainland film industry, Renly also knows that the specific reasons for the decline of the entire film industry are very complicated and cannot be generalized.

However, obviously the media reporters don't think so, they are all confident, the first question did not get a positive response, and then the second one appeared, "Then if there is an invitation from a film company to allow you to use Will you be willing to nod your head and say yes to acting in English and joining the Chinese film?

"I think there are still many excellent Chinese actors who are active now. Instead of looking for a foreigner to star in Chinese movies, why not choose excellent Chinese actors?" Ren Li smiled, but his words revealed a sense of weight and baptism. He really has no interest in Chinese movies. "I don't think I'm the best choice."

After a short pause, Renly continued to tease, "Or do you mean me to be the vase?"
