1316 malicious speculation
“I just said that most of the reporters here today should be here for Renly and Justin; then Renly said that this is not polite for a lady to speculate." Joel recalled the conversation just now, and still couldn't bear it. I laughed again.
Kerry, who was sitting on the right side of Renly, leaned in front of the microphone and said jokingly, "Actually, I don't mind. You can ignore me as much as you like and focus all the attention on the gentlemen. I just can Be lazy and daze for a while.”
Then Justin, who was sitting on the left hand side of the Coen brothers, started teasing unwillingly, "Hey, if we allocate interview tasks according to the weight of the movie scenes, it seems that things shouldn't be like this. Should we communicate in private?？”
The back-and-forth banter made everyone chuckle. Before the press conference officially started, the entire hall was filled with a light atmosphere, and the warm and undercurrent atmosphere made the rain outside also fade. became no longer important; however, when the reporters asked the first question, the joyful and light atmosphere suddenly took a turn for the worse.——
“Renly, before today's press conference officially started, there was a rumor that you provided Americano coffee and towels to all the reporters in attendance. This was actually a move to please the media. Is this true?？”
silence.
silence.
silence.
There was silence in the entire press conference hall. It was as if one could clearly see a series of ellipses flying slowly above the head. No one expected that this was the opening question, and no one expected that the question was asked in such a superficial and stupid way. , even the host was a little panicked and was completely caught off guard..
As the person involved, Renly was the calmest and calmest one. After adjusting the angle of the microphone slowly, he answered, "I never knew that this was also a problem..”
it's a taunt.
For regular reporters, no one would ask such a question "in order to please the media." Just talk about such rumors on the Internet. There is no need to ask questions at a press conference, because this is a dead end. For questions, the person being asked only needs to deny it, and there will be no way to continue with subsequent questions..
In other words, only the new generation of online self-media will ask such questions. They think and ask questions in the way of social network discussions, revealing a natural way of thinking; but not only are they not professional at all, but they are also There are no highlights or attractions to speak of.
Some things seem reasonable on the Internet, but become ridiculous outside the Internet environment..
So, Renly's opening line says:.
More importantly, those traditional reporters secretly snickered and couldn't help but laugh; but most of the emerging self-media did not understand the profound meaning of Renly's words at all. They could not understand the eyes and smiles that swarmed from all directions in the venue hall. What is the meaning? Naturally, this also includes the questioner..
This is the inevitable drawback brought about by the rapid rise of the Internet age, fast food culture, and social networks. Everything is a double-edged sword, with pros and cons coexisting. Regarding the rapid rise of personal self-media, the most important shortcoming is the loss of the art of interviewing. , everything has become simple and crude, lacking foundation, professionalism, and fun..
“What if my answer is yes? "Renly had no intention of answering seriously, he just said lightly..
Yes, so？
Actors and public figures please the media, so what?？
This is not bribery, nor is it flattery, it is just a well-intentioned and convenient gesture. Everyone can freely choose to accept it or not, so... so what?？
“……You mean, you're trying to please the media? "The questioner seemed to have grasped Renly's hand. After hesitating for a moment, he became excited, so much so that his voice trembled slightly..
Renly was still smiling and looked over calmly, "Then what?？”
This is really a boring question.
Renly never paid attention to these critical and disgusting looks..
If one person decides to hate another person, then no matter what the other person does, the result will be the same, it will just make the hateful emotion worse; vice versa, if one person decides to like another person, then no matter what the other person does, Even bad behavior will not shake this emotion.
When one person decides to ignore another person, then none of the other person's actions have any meaning..
Renly had no intention of pleasing these reporters, nor did he intend to protect his reputation. More importantly, in his opinion, even explanations and entanglements were a waste of time and energy..
The sentence "and then" immediately choked the self-media new person who asked the question..
He always felt that he could say something else, such as launching an attack from the moral high ground, but after all the words rolled around on the tip of his tongue, he found that they had no meaning or effect, so he was stuck..
Renly did not give the other party any more time or space, and gently nodded, "Next question..”
Sitting among the crowd, Emily and Mark almost couldn't help laughing. Such a scene was so hilarious.：
There were only three sentences in total. The seemingly thorny and sharp question was eliminated in Renly's hands in the blink of an eye. However, the ridicule and joking hidden in it couldn't be more obvious. It was completed without hesitation. Fight back, and in the end you can see the questioner is left in the same place with a blank look on his face, no one cares about him.
At this time, the host quickly came back to his senses, scanned his eyes quickly, and then selected 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 with a clever opening, "Sir Renly, may I ask if you have any plans to release an album next? You can inform us in advance this time. ? I think many people should be willing to buy it.”
“Justin Timberlake will be angry." Renly's answer made everyone in the audience burst into laughter, and the atmosphere instantly became light again..
Justin, who was sitting next to him, also knew that this was a cover-up for teasing, so instead of being rude, he folded his hands in front of his chest and deliberately made an angry gesture to match Renly's words, but this It's enough.
“The reporter from "Complete Films" then entered the formal question.
“First of all, personally, I really, really like this work, especially your performance. Here, I would like to ask, during the performance, whether the experience of the album 'Don Quixote' was Did you bring inspiration? Also, if you and LeVine were in the same situation, what choice would you make? I mean, the look in your eyes in the last scene of the movie is so heartbreaking. This should be the most touching performance after "Crazy Love"..”
After asking the question eloquently, the reporter chuckled lightly and said, "Sorry, the question contains a lot of content.".”
This is the real way professional media asks questions.
Renly responded with a smile, "First of all, thank you for your love and support." It can be heard that this reporter is also very familiar with Renly's works; then he formally answered the question, "After formally answering Before I ask the question, I can tell you a little tidbit, maybe it will be helpful to you..”
“Joel and Ethan decided to cast me in this production after watching her performance at last year's Grammy Awards.……”
Before Renly could finish his words, Joel couldn't wait to intervene in the topic, "Correction, the source of inspiration. The inspiration for this work is Renly. We watched his performance, and the song 'Beast' was The shock it brought became the source of inspiration for the entire movie, and then we listened to the album 'Don Quixote'.”
Once the conversation started, it just kept going, "Honestly, at the beginning, we considered using the 'Don Quixote' album as the soundtrack to create the entire movie, but we later overturned that idea. , this is too personal and too real, it may become the biography of Renly Hall. So, we thought of Dave Van Ronk……”
Unknowingly, Renly sat quietly next to him, and it was Joel who answered the question. He told the entire creative inspiration and creative process, revealing the behind-the-scenes story to the public for the first time..
After the whole story was told, Joel finally realized, "Hey, why did I answer all the questions just now? Renly, to be honest, you did it on purpose, right?"？”
Renly shrugged slightly, but didn't smile, which made Joel helplessly spread his hands, "Look, he is Le'Veon Davis.".”
“Thank you. I will take it as a compliment." Renly responded, and then returned to his own question, "Obviously, the album 'Don Quixote' did give me a lot of inspiration. In fact, , I have made a choice in real life, I participated in the performance of "Buried Alive" and released "Don Quixote"’.”
In the difficult situation, Renly still chose to persevere. Therefore, this is the current Renly-Hall.
After Renly and Joel's answers, the atmosphere at the scene had completely recovered. Then another reporter stood up and got the opportunity to ask questions..
“First of all, congratulations, "The Ballad of the Drunken Country" is a very good movie. My question is, in terms of subject matter and type, and even the story and script, this is not a movie full of countless possibilities. So, why did you choose it in the first place? What about this work? In addition, the movie has now received excellent reviews, what do you think?？”
All eyes were focused on Renly, but Renly turned to look at the Coen brothers politely, "Shouldn't this question be answered by the director? Hey, this is Cannes, I'm not the protagonist, you guys are yes.”
