1973 cultural differences
Adjusting his breathing instead of taking deep breaths. Hidden under his calm appearance, Renly was slowly adjusting his physical condition and finally calmed down..
“Nathan, is there still water in the glass? "Renly breathed out gently, suppressing the restlessness in his body. His hoarse voice successfully concealed his racing heart, and he still maintained his calmness and calmness on the surface. It seemed that he was just a little tired in the early morning..
After Nathan asked for the girl's mailing address, he quickly caught up and returned to Renly. Hearing the question, he nodded immediately. He had just asked for a thermos cup in the VIP room and filled some temporarily. Warm water - Although Nathan couldn't understand why Renly drank warm water, shouldn't he be drinking chicken soup or hot wine? But at this time, Nathan immediately handed over the warm water cup..
Renly took two sips of water, and his dry throat felt like rain in the desert. He finally felt a little more comfortable, and then he could see Nathan's burning eyes looking at him with worry, which made Renly reveal a Smiling slightly, "If you keep staring at me, this face will be seen through.".”
A joke made Nathan feel a little more at ease. He continued to raise his head and glanced at Renly secretly to make sure that Renly seemed to be fine. His uneasy mood calmed down a little. He took the thermos bottle and stood there again. Renly didn't say much behind him..
Renly turned his head, and then saw the fans who were still standing not far away. He looked down at the "Jokes" in his hand again, feeling a little annoyed. He was still impulsive just now - or all the gifts were gone. Accept, once a precedent is set, what will other fans think?？
Sighing lightly, Renly whispered to Nathan, "Go over and tell them not to give expensive gifts. I'm very grateful for their kindness, but those gifts are too expensive." Later, Renly also joked. Said something like, "You know, I actually don't mind if they make dish towels..”
Roy stood aside and rolled his eyes, "Be careful when you wish..”
Renly couldn't help but laugh, and paused. He seemed to have sensed Nathan's uneasiness in advance.——
Nathan's mind is not strong enough, and he might be forced into the hands of fans.？
This thought slightly raised the corners of Renly's mouth, "You tell them that your heart is the most important thing. I still hope to communicate with you through movie music, which is more weighty than gifts. By the way, if they are tough I give it to you, but you must not accept it, otherwise, you may lose this job..”
Renly's joking words made Nathan's cheeks turn pale. He looked at Renly with panic on his face, his lips moved but no sound came out..
Renly didn't explain, he chuckled again and patted Nathan on the shoulder, "Go over and express your gratitude on my behalf..”
Nathan nodded confusedly, then turned around and walked towards the fans, but his steps were a little hesitant, as if he was about to face a three-headed dog from hell. The towering back made Renly feel a little relaxed. A little bit.
Turning his head, Renly saw Anne's eyes full of curiosity and surprise. Because they were very close to each other, even if they didn't want to eavesdrop, there was no way to avoid it. So, Anne said calmly, "You are used to it. Got it？”
Renly curled up his lips and said, "Annie, this is the second time I've arrived here." But Anne didn't believe it at all, and her questioning eyes made Renly spread his hands, "I'm serious, last time it was... Gravity', this time it's 'Interstellar,' that's it." To promote the movie it was indeed only twice, and Renly wasn't lying..
Anne pursed her lips. Although she still didn't believe it, her eyes fell on the "Joke" in Renly's hand, and she could faintly notice something different - after all, such a gift is definitely not something ordinary fans can think of. , in the end he didn’t say anything more, but once again cast his gaze in the direction of Nathan and the fans, full of curiosity——
There was no way, she had never seen such a phenomenon in North America, not even heard of it. Watching fans stuffing piles of luxury goods into the arms of their favorite actors was really a spectacle. The novelty and shock made even the sleepyheads run away a lot..
Differences in culture can always broaden horizons.
“Do you think we have become Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart now? "Anne bumped Renly lightly with her shoulder and said jokingly. Her playful expression had the quirkiness of a girl, and her teasing contained Anne's unique humorous style..
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who became American idols because of "The Twilight Saga", may be the actors closest to "idols" in the American entertainment industry in recent years; as for singers, One Direction and Justin Bieber and so on are countless, but Annie is not sure whether those idols can also receive such treatment. This is the closest metaphor in her mind..
Renly raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and looked at Anne sideways, "Is this your best standard? God, I'm hurt. I thought it could be at least Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Or Brat Pitt and Jennifer Aniston." These two couples were the most popular couple in the United States at that time, and their influence was much greater than that of the "Twilight Couple".
Annie pursed her lips and shook her head repeatedly, "They ended up breaking up in the end. I don't think this is an appropriate metaphor.".”
Renly did not refute, "Then at least it should be Ben Affleck and Matt Damon..”
“Ha ha! "Anne burst out laughing happily, her laughter vibrating loudly. Only then did she realize that her laughter was too exaggerated, and she quickly stopped her voice, but the smile deep in her eyes was still surging. , "I'm serious, I mean, someone actually followed us inside the airport and gave us gifts. I have never heard of such treatment, not even Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart." It seems that they have never happened before. Tell me, where did they come from?？”
This is definitely a big mystery, Anne has no idea at all.
Renly had only heard about it, "You know, there is an action in Asian fan culture called 'Following the Machine'. The specific meaning is that they will get the idol's passport number through their own channels, or work from the airport. People get information and check the idol’s flight in advance……”
“What? "Before Renly could finish his words, Anne exclaimed. Even Nolan came over and listened with surprise in his eyes, "Isn't this a leak of personal privacy? Is this...is there really no need to call the police?？”
Renly nodded gently, "Yes, their investigative and penetration abilities are already comparable to those of private detectives. I think they can become talents in society in the future." Whether this was a compliment or a ridicule, I couldn't tell clearly. Maybe it’s both. “In any case, after they research the itinerary, they will then buy tickets for the same flight. If they are lucky, they may even sit next to their idols. Even if they are not so lucky, they will You can walk around in the cabin, or like just now, you can surround the idols in the airport in advance and get up close and personal for the first time..”
As for today's situation, the promotional schedule of "Interstellar" is completely open. Warner Bros. also hopes to create more interactions on social networks in this way, so fans do not need detective skills to know their movements. Now, following closely becomes even easier.
“Wow." In addition to being amazed, Annie and Nolan didn't know how to react. This is simply...unheard of, and it's really shocking..
At this moment, the group of fans seemed to notice the curious gazes of Annie and Nolan, and they all began to scream and cheer. The lively sound continued to surge in the airport hall, and you could clearly feel the rolling heat wave. ; At the same time, the arrival hall outside the airport hall can also start to buzz with buzzing sounds, responding one after another, surrounded by restless sounds. That unique feeling is also very rare..
“What about the cost? "Nolan looked away and couldn't help but ask curiously, but Anne rolled her eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with Nolan's focus..
But what Nolan said is indeed true, because it is definitely expensive - even for promotional crew members, their travel expenses are reimbursed by the film company. If it is paid out of pocket, that is another matter..
Renly spread his hands, "I don't know much about this. I just heard something, but I have no way to verify it. I just heard that some fans are really rich, and their superior family background can fully support their star chasing actions; some of them are really rich. Fans, they are like collectors who save all their pocket money and may do this once or twice a year. They are just like comic collectors or figurine collectors. They are not necessarily rich but they are dedicated enough..”
Annie and Nolan suddenly understood, but they were still shocked..
“There are also some fans who are smart people. Through their own star-chasing actions, they have evolved into an industry chain." Before Renly could finish his words, he was interrupted again. This time it was Nolan, who held one hand behind his back. Behind his back, he shook his free hand decisively, "No way, absolutely impossible..”
Renly was not in a hurry. He just looked at Nolan with a smile and paused before saying, "On the one hand, they can pretend that they are in and out of the same situations as top stars and package themselves as insiders or upper-class people. This can attract a large number of people." Fans can even attract sponsors. There are many such accounts on photo walls and Twitter, and the same is true in China. On the other hand, they can take first-hand photos at close range, even exclusive ones, and then print them into albums. Sold among fans, worth a lot of money.”
This can definitely be said to have opened the door to a whole new world.！
