"I just said that most of the reporters in the audience today should be here for Renly and Justin; then Renly said that this is an impolite speculation for a lady." Joel recalled the conversation just now, but he still endured it. Can't stop laughing again.
Kerry, who was sitting on Renly's right hand, leaned in front of the microphone and said jokingly, "Actually, I don't mind, you can ignore me as much as you want, and focus all your attention on the gentlemen, I just can Be lazy for a while."
Then Justin, who was sitting on the left of the Coen brothers, joked unwillingly, "Hey, if the interview tasks are allocated according to the weight of the movie, things don't seem to be like this. Should we communicate more privately?"
Your gags made everyone chuckle. Before the press conference officially started, there was a brisk atmosphere in the whole hall. became irrelevant; but when the reporters asked their first question, the air of joy and lightness took a turn for the worse—
"Renly, before the official press conference today, there were rumors that you provided Americano coffee and towels for all the reporters in attendance. In fact, it was to please the media. Is this true?"
silence.
silence.
silence.
There was silence in the entire press conference hall, as if a series of ellipses could be clearly seen flying slowly over the head. No one expected this to be the opening question, and no one expected the questioning method to be so superficial and stupid. , Even the host was a little flustered, and was completely caught off guard.
As a party, Renly was the most calm and calm one. After adjusting the angle of the microphone in a leisurely manner, he answered, "I never knew, this is also a question."
This is a mockery.
For regular reporters, no one would ask such a question. "In order to please the media," such rumors should be discussed on the Internet. There is no need to ask questions at the press conference, because it is a dead end. The question, the person being asked only needs to deny it, and there is no way to continue with the follow-up question.
In other words, only the new generation of online self-media will ask such a question. They think and ask questions in the way of social network discussions, revealing a natural way of thinking; but not only are they unprofessional, but also have no breakthroughs and highlights.
Some things seem reasonable on the web, but become absurd off the web.
So, says Renly's opening remarks.
More importantly, those traditional reporters were secretly snickering and couldn't help laughing; but most of the emerging self-media did not understand the deep meaning of Renly's words at all, and they could not understand the eyes and smiles swarming from all directions in the hall. What is the meaning of the question, the questioner is naturally included in this.
This is the inevitable drawback brought about by the rapid rise of the Internet age, fast food culture, and social networks. Anything is a double-edged sword, pros and cons coexist. For the rapid rise of personal self-media, the most important shortcoming is the loss of interview art. Everything has become simple and rude, and there is a lack of heritage, professionalism, and lack of taste.
"If my answer is yes, so what?" Renly said lightly, not intending to answer seriously at all.
Yeah, so what
Actors and public figures please the media, so what
This is not a bribe, nor is it flattery, it's just an act of kindness, and everyone can freely choose to accept it or not, so... So what
"...You mean, are you trying to please the media?" The questioner seemed to have caught Renly's handle, and after a moment of hesitation, the whole person began to get excited, and his voice trembled slightly.
Renly, still smiling, looked over calmly, "And then?"
This is really a boring question.
Renly never cared about these critical and distasteful glances.
If one person decides to hate another person, then no matter what the other person does, the result will be the same, it will only make the hatred worse; and vice versa, if one person decides to like another person, then no matter what the other person does Bad behavior, this will not shake this mood.
When one person decides to ignore another person, then the other person's actions have no meaning.
Renly had no plans to please the reporters or to defend his reputation. More importantly, in his view, even explaining and entanglement is a waste of time and energy.
The sentence "Then what?" immediately choked the new self-media man who asked the question.
He always felt that he could say something, such as standing on the moral high ground and launching a round of attacks, but after all the words swirled on the tip of his tongue, he found that there was no meaning or effect, so he was stuck like this.
Renly did not give the other party more time and space, and nodded lightly, "Next question."
Sitting in the crowd, Emily and Mark almost couldn't help laughing. This scene is really happy:
There were only three sentences before and after. The seemingly thorny and acute problem disappeared in the hands of Ren Li in a blink of an eye. The ridicule and banter hidden in it were really obvious. Fighting back, in the end, you can see the questioner was left on the spot with a blank face, no one cares.
At this time, the host quickly returned to his senses, scanned his eyes quickly, and then ordered a reporter from the British professional film magazine "Total-Film". There is no doubt about his professionalism and authority.
Sure enough, the reporter lived up to the host's hard work and resolved the stiff atmosphere just now with a clever opening, "Lord Renly, may I ask if you have any plans to release an album next, this time you can inform us in advance. ? I think there should be a lot of people willing to buy it.”
"Justin Timberlake will be angry." Renly's answer made everyone in the audience burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became light again in an instant.
Justin, who was sitting next to him, also knew that this was a cover-up joke, so he did not speak poor, but put his hands on his chest and deliberately made an angry gesture, which matched Renly's words, but this is enough.
The "Complete Movie" reporter then went into the formal question.
"First of all, personally, I like this work very, very much, especially your performance. Here, I would like to ask, during the performance, whether the experience of the album 'Don Quixote' is not Inspiration for you? Also, if you were in the same situation as LeVine, what would you choose? I mean, the look in your eyes at the end of the movie is really heartbreaking, which should It was the most moving performance after 'Love Crazy'."
After eloquently asked the question, the reporter chuckled, "Sorry, there are too many questions."
This is how the real professional media ask questions.
Renly showed a smile in response, "First of all, thank you for your liking and support." It can be heard that the reporter also knows Renly's works very well; then he officially answered the question, "In the official answer Before the question, I can say a little tidbit, maybe it will help you guys."
"Joel and Ethan made the decision to ask me to play after watching last year's Grammys performance..."
Before Renly could finish his words, Joel couldn't wait to intervene, "Correct, the source of inspiration. The source of inspiration for this work is Renly. We watched his performance, and the song 'The Beast' The shock that it brought became the inspiration for the whole film, and then we listened to the album 'Don Quixote'."
Once the conversation started, it continued, "Honestly, at the beginning, we thought about creating an entire movie with the album 'Don Quixote' as the soundtrack, but then we overturned that idea. , which is too personal and too real, and could turn into a biography of Renly Hall. So, we thought of Dave van Ronck…”
Before he knew it, Renly sat quietly next to him, and it was Joel who answered the question. He told the entire source of inspiration and the creative process, and revealed the story behind the scenes for the first time in public.
After the story was all told, Joel finally reacted, "Hey, why did I answer all the questions just now? Renly, to be honest, you did it on purpose, right?"
Renly shrugged lightly, but didn't smile, which made Joel spread his hands helplessly, "Look, he's Le Verne Davis."
"Thank you. I'll take it as a compliment." Renly then responded, then returned to his own question, "Obviously, the 'Don Quixote' album did give me a lot of inspiration, Actually, in real life I have made a choice, I participated in the performance of 'Buried Alive' and released 'Don Quixote'."
In the predicament, Renly still chose to persevere. So, this is what Renly Hall is now.
After Renly and Joel's answers, the atmosphere at the scene had completely recovered, and then another reporter stood up and got the opportunity to ask questions.
"First of all, congratulations, 'Drunk Town Ballad' is a very good movie. My question is, in terms of subject matter and genre, and even the script, this is not a movie full of countless possibilities, so why did you guys originally Did you choose this work? In addition, the movie has received excellent reviews, what do you think?"
All eyes were on Renly, but Renly turned to the Coen brothers politely, "Shouldn't this question be answered by the director? Hey, this is Cannes, I'm not the protagonist, you are Yes."
