1315 press conference venue
“‘"The Folk Song of Drunken Country" crew.”
The staff's answer made Emily a little stunned, but in order not to delay the order of the team's entry, Emily entered the press hall ignorantly..
All the people present were news media, and soon after, the news began to spread. After going further into the hall, I learned that the initiator of the proposal was Renly..
In the morning, Renly went to watch "Blue Ruins" in the Directors' Fortnight section. When passing by the Cinema Palace, he unexpectedly saw reporters queuing up in the drizzle. There were still two full hours before the press conference. But the team has already shown its scale, and it looks even more spectacular in the cold wind and drizzle..
Out of goodwill, Renly promptly contacted the Coen brothers and completed the communication.
On the one hand, in the name of the crew, we communicated with the host committee officials, hoping to open the press center early and let reporters wait indoors; but on the other hand, considering that the French are world-famous for their work efficiency, so in the name of the crew, Prepare coffee and towels in advance to avoid colds and colds as much as possible.
In the end, reporters entered the press center lobby thirty minutes earlier than expected..
However, everything was not publicized, as if it was just part of the work of the organizing committee. If it were not for curiosity, how could the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee, which has always been cold and arrogant, suddenly become so considerate and ask casually, then They would never have the chance to know the truth behind it, let alone Renly who passed by without leaving his name..
Looking down at the coffee in her hand, Emily really felt that this was the so-called perfection..
“…… If you don't like it, you can refuse, but don't make random assumptions about other people's good intentions. Everything is hype, everything is public relations image. Maybe Hollywood is like this, but the young master has never been like this. He doesn't need it at all, and he doesn't disdain it at all. What? What kind of world can you see with what kind of eyes and what kind of thoughts? Please don’t tarnish a good intention with your dirty thoughts, okay?？”
There was a bustling noise nearby, and Emily turned her head, and then she saw Marc Lacante arguing with a blushing face. Standing in front of him were two young people in their early twenties, energetic and flamboyant. , wearing a swaggering designer dress, but became embarrassed due to the heavy rain..
“I am just stating a fact, without any condemnation. This is the case in Hollywood and even the whole world now. I don’t think there is anything wrong with this, even if Renly deliberately made such a considerate move to please the media in order to gain fame. I think this is perfectly normal and even worth encouraging..
I just didn't expect that Renly would need to do this. I just sighed. Why say something bad about him? Why are you so excited? This is nothing to make a fuss about. I really haven’t seen the world. Don’t you know that it is because of fans like you that I am the most annoying?？”
The other party rolled his eyes, his face full of arrogance and impatience, and gave orders in a condescending manner. He retaliated sharply and sharply with an impatient expression..
Mark was shaking with anger, "How dare you? How dare you! The young master does not need to gain fame, nor does he need to please the media like you. Don't use your narrow and stupid vision to speculate on the young master's good intentions. If If you don't like it, you can pour the coffee away to show your innocence and draw a clear line.！”
“Isn’t it just an ordinary cup of American coffee, Jesus Christ! It sounds like it’s platinum coffee, and there’s no gold in it, so I don’t care! "The other party didn't hesitate at all. He put the coffee cup in his hand on the back of the chair next to him in a fit of anger, turned around and was about to leave..
“Sorry, please take your trash away." Emily walked up, straightened her back, neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a strong tone..
As an Asian living in New York, Emily clearly knows how to deal with such a situation. The ubiquitous invisible discrimination and the condescension from the bottom of her heart are the truly chilling rejection and alienation. If she chooses to swallow it, , the other party will only take advantage of it; if she chooses to be rash and aggressive, the other party will only hold a grudge..
Therefore, she needs to unswervingly emphasize her position and put both parties on an equal footing. Just like now.
The other party stopped and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face..
Emily emphasized again, "This is the press conference hall, please clean up your own garbage. Is this a basic citizen's quality, or do you think you are a superior news media practitioner, the uncrowned king, so You can ignore these basic rules？”
The other party was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know how to respond; his companion standing next to him noticed the sharp gazes coming from around him and quietly bumped his arm with his elbow..
There was something slightly wrong with the atmosphere at the scene. The young man could only clear his throat, raise his head arrogantly, cover up his panic and embarrassment, and pretend to be fine and said, "Don't put everything on the line, I'm just putting it aside for the time being." It’s just here, prepare to find a seat and then come over to clean up. You Europeans are always like this, pretending to be God.”
“Sorry, I'm American." Emily smiled..
The other party couldn't help but choked immediately, and then there was a low laughter all around, and a loud voice shouted, "Besides, aren't you yourselves the ones who like to play God?？”
This time, the laughter became even louder.
The two people grabbed the coffee cups, turned around and left dejectedly, and hid far away in the corner of the press center..
Emily looked at Mark, but Mark was still angry and unwilling to speak. His peripheral vision was fixed on the backs of the two people, which made Emily laugh involuntarily, "Mark, there is no need to argue with them..”
“How could they do this? Mark was still upset, "The young master has never needed these false names. If he wanted to, he only needed to raise his arms and shout. Don Quixotes all over the world were willing to respond, but he didn't. He always only truly loved Love movies, love acting.”
“Did you know? When we were in Berlin before, even if we didn't recognize the young master, he didn't mind and actively cooperated with our questionnaire; after watching the movie, he was willing to stand in front of the cinema with us for the sake of the movie. The bad argument turned red, just to defend his favorite movie. He treated us sincerely, but what did he get? Those malicious speculations about hype and false reputation? Why? Why！”
Mark said bitterly, unable to stop talking incessantly, venting his inner anger and dissatisfaction wantonly..
“Because they are not worth it." After blurting out the words, Emily was slightly stunned. She had not expected this sentence, because she still didn't understand Renly well enough. Except for movies, all her understanding stopped at those halos. , but now, she takes the initiative to protect Renly.
After realizing this, his smile couldn't help but rise..
“Because they are not worth it." Emily said again with confirmation, "The truth does not need to be clarified." After saying that, there was no need for Emily to explain further. The nodding movements and eyes of the surrounding people were the best explanation..
At this time, Mark noticed that the quarrel just now attracted everyone's attention. Everyone gathered bustlingly. Looking around, it seemed that everyone had a warm look on their face, and their coats were dripping with water. and the wet hair create a different atmosphere.
Emily smiled brightly again and bumped Mark's shoulder with her shoulder, "I believe what you said.”
Because Emily believes that the eyes can't lie. Yesterday at the premiere, she and Renly had two brief meetings. There were no exaggerated and deliberate long speeches, nor proactive public relations and marketing, but the clear eyes were clear. His eyes always maintain a trace of concentration and enthusiasm. This is the best answer..
Then, Emily continued, "It's still some time before the press conference officially starts. Come on, tell me, what happened when Renly went to Berlin last time? Did you meet him? And they also discussed the movie. ? Which movie are you talking about?？”
Under Emily's urging, Mark's gloomy mood finally cleared up..
A group of friends chatted with each other, found their seats in the press conference hall, sat down one after another, and waited patiently for the press conference to begin..
……
At 10:30 in the morning, the press conference started on time.
At this time, the entire press hall was already full, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see the end of it. Even the aisles and the open space behind were filled with reporters. The crowd could no longer be counted carefully, but it was certain that it was more than 100,000 people. Five hundred reporters attended today's press conference, which gave people a clear sense of the crew's extremely high popularity..
Under the spotlight, the crew members of "Drunken Country Folk" appeared in the public eye：
Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, Renly Hall, Justin Timberlake, Carey Mulligan, Garrett Hedlund.
The six members sat down behind the long table in a row, and everyone was discussing the seating arrangement in a low voice. Then Justin discovered that the organizer had placed nameplates in front of the seats in advance. They only needed to sit down correctly; while standing Joel and Renly, who were next to them, didn't care about their seats and talked in low voices. They both chuckled happily..
So, after sitting down, the host responsible for maintaining order at the scene asked the first question, "Renly, what were you and Joel talking about just now? It seems that you are in a really good mood..”
Renly shrugged slightly, but didn't smile..
Joel spoke quickly and took the initiative to answer, "I just said that most of the reporters here today should be here for Renly and Justin; then Renly said that this is rude speculation for a lady." After saying that, Joel himself laughed happily again.
