One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Six Laughable and Generous
The entanglement of reporters is really annoying.
In fact, Renly didn't quite understand the necessity of such a polite speech. Faced with this type of question, he could answer "very happy", and then the guests were both happy; but everyone knew that if there was a Chinese movie The invitation to perform is issued, and nine times out of ten, it will be rejected, so what is the significance of these problems?
Just for the joy and pride of this moment?
So, without politeness or detour, Renly chose a relatively direct and sharp way to respond. The reporters on the scene couldn't help looking at each other, and the atmosphere in the audience became a little awkward. A little joke, "Or do you mean that I will be the vase?"
Although it didn't make the audience burst into laughter, the tense and solidified atmosphere was relieved.
From the time we met to now, Renly's performance has always been personable, not to mention big-name demeanor, it can even be said to be approachable, looking like a friendly college student; but now in just two sentences, Renly has shown that His toughness made the reporters think of it——
In the United States, Renly has always been the most troublesome interviewee for major media reporters. Even those media that can occupy a place in the world cannot take advantage of it. So why do mainland media get special treatment? But if they don't ask questions about Chinese-language films, what else can they ask?
Between hesitation and hesitation, another reporter stood up and asked his own question, "Hello Renly, not long ago, Wu/Yi/Fan said in an interview that he appreciates your performance very much, and there is a chance in the future. If so, I hope to be able to cooperate with you, do you have any thoughts on this?"
"Who?"
Renly's voice was full of doubts, and he cast his eyes in confusion, and the eyes of the whole audience were directed towards the reporter. He explained, "...he is a young singer who debuted as a group in South Korea and is now very popular in the Mainland, and is preparing to appear in a movie."
"Oh. So you're talking about Justin Bieber?" Renly squinted his chin slightly in a sudden realization. He was also an idol singer, and there seemed to be no problem with such a horizontal analogy.
The reporter faintly sensed something was wrong, but couldn't say why. He hesitated, but emphasized, "He is very popular now, and many young female fans like him."
Renly gave a decent smile, "Congratulations, congratulations." Such a response always felt strange, why did it start congratulating all of a sudden?
But in Renly's view,
It is indeed a congratulation for young idols to win super popularity in such fierce competition. The only problem is that it has nothing to do with him.
"I think he should stay handsome and long-lasting (Stay-Pretty-And-Keep-It-Still)." Renly's expression still maintains the usual gentleman etiquette, with proper advance and retreat, and a degree of relaxation, which can be called perfect , but his words made the atmosphere of the scene settle down again.
The translator sitting diagonally behind had the urge to laugh, but she didn't know how to translate the meaning of the words.
Literally understood, this sentence is very simple, without any difficult words; but this sentence is understood in context, but it seems to be meaningful——
Sometimes it can be understood as: maintaining a perfect state and persevering, which is encouraging, reminding those who do not have self-confidence to stand up and cheer for themselves; and sometimes it can be understood as: since it is a vase, then Just be a vase, you can rely on the appearance, there is no need to mess around, this has a negative meaning, and the irony is obvious.
Obviously, in the context of Renly, it should be the latter.
But the translator is not quite sure how to convey the meaning, what if she misunderstands it?
This was not a very difficult sentence. Many reporters at the scene understood it. Even if there was no communication bridge for translation, they all began to exchange glances, but they could not tell whether it was anger or shame: using the question just now to interview The youngest EGOT winner in movie history, isn't this too... vulgar? They seem to have even taken off their bottoms/pants in order to hype the news, to make a hot spot.
But the most absurd moment of the entire press conference came.
The reporter who asked the question didn't know why, so he asked again, "He will hopefully start starring in the latest movie directed by a talented female director, and maybe he will have the opportunity to stand on the same stage as you in the future. Do you have any comments or advice for performing opposite scenes?"
silence.
Still silent.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward. This should be a question with mainland characteristics. Equating vase with strength, linking appearance with topic, endless consumption of entertainment news and gossip without bottom line and frame, even in the face of EGOT Professional actors like the winner are no exception.
So, does anyone still care about real acting and professionalism these days? Does anyone still care about art and dreams now?
It's absurd and magical, but it's actually happening.
Renly regretted it a little now, and he shouldn't have chosen to come back, at least not as a promotional movie. Perhaps, he can return to this land by himself, walking on the familiar streets and capturing the fragments of those good memories; but he should not still have high hopes for the entertainment industry here.
Can he still look forward to it?
However, on the facial expression, Renly still did not reveal any flaws. He kept a smile all the time, and said softly, "It's good for him (Good-For-Him)."
The classic lines appear again.
That's how Renly responded to Chris Hemsworth's sophistry when the "hypegate" was revealed. A simple sentence has infinite possibilities, turning irony and ridicule, sharpness and thumping emotions. It's all hidden, and a positive response is given lightly.
Now it has appeared again.
It was a very, very simple everyday phrase that more than half of the reporters could understand, and the indifference and alienation in Renly's words could not have been more obvious, in stark contrast to the warm and cordiality of the past. Only then did they really realize:
It's not that Renly won't play big names, but he is unwilling; not only in the mainland, but now on a global scale, Renly is a well-deserved top big name. But now, step by step, they angered Renly, so what should we do now?
From the very beginning of the "who", Renly has already made his position clear. He knows nothing about the name and has no interest in it, but the reporter still doesn't know how to restrain himself. Out of control.
The atmosphere just stiffened there.
Even the host seemed to be in a hurry. If Renly spoke ruthlessly at the scene and then turned to leave, they would all be helpless. After all, Renly didn't need to see their faces at all; but now even if he wanted to make amends, he couldn't do anything. Start, then, what should he do?
Standing on the side stage, Gu Cailing couldn't help but start to support her forehead. She had a good press conference. As a result, the reporters were able to dig a hole and bury themselves. Now their public relations company will take the blame. If Renly refuses to cooperate with their company in the future, Even refused to come to the magic capital again to promote, what should I do?
For many years, for the first time, top superstars came to the mainland to promote, and then... no more.
Immediately, Gu Cailing turned around and signaled to the staff next to him. The staff member immediately pushed a small cart and walked out. A flickering candle above the lower cart illuminated the surroundings.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to my dear young master, happy birthday to you!"
The universal happy birthday song began to reverberate. The backstage staff clapped and sang in unison. After the reporters at the scene came back to their senses, they also joined in the singing. The tense suffocation finally disappeared.
Ren Li unexpectedly looked at the birthday cake that was pushed over, with a bright smile on his face, he nodded politely to the staff and the hosts to express his thanks, and when the singing stopped, he also closed his eyes very cooperatively. Make a wish, and then blow out the candle.
When the lights turned on again, the episode just now seemed to have never happened. Renly smiled and turned to look at the host, "Is it still some time before my birthday?"
"Yes, we know that your birthday is still a month away. But the week when 'Gravity' is officially released is the date of your birthday; moreover, you rarely visit Huaxia, we are one of the most hospitable peoples One, naturally you can't miss this important anniversary." The host tried his best to say in a cheerful voice, heating up the atmosphere again.
"Ha." Renly chuckled sincerely, "This is the first time someone has celebrated my birthday in public, thank you, thank you very much."
In the US and UK, birthdays are a very personal thing, for most people, they prefer to celebrate with their family and friends; and there are a small number of people who are reluctant to celebrate their birthdays - such as turning 40 Or the age of fifty that reminds oneself of old age.
As a result, few people celebrate birthdays in public, even if they happen occasionally, they are closely related to parties.
Therefore, this is indeed the first time someone has celebrated Renly's birthday in public, and it feels a little strange, and it is impossible to describe in words for a while.
"This is our honor." The host also said, "Next, we need to cut the cake, how about it, do you want to taste our specially-made cake?"
In the joyful and brisk tone, the atmosphere was finally saved.
