338 refuse to cooperate
“there is no time.”
Renly's answer immediately stunned Connell. He blinked, seemingly not understanding the meaning of Renly's words, and blurted out, "What?"？”
Renly originally didn't intend to pay attention to Connell. Their discussion was in the heat of the moment, and the last thing he needed was to be disturbed. However, Connell's appearance caused everyone else to pause their discussion, even Jay. Sika did not continue to speak, but began to look at Cornell curiously, and the atmosphere at the scene cooled down for a while..
“I'm busy right now and don't have time for interviews." Renly turned his head, smiled at Connell, and said politely. "I'm very sorry, but I can only wait until next time..”
“Are you fucking kidding me? "This is the only thought in Cornell's mind. For reporters, the word "rejection" does not exist in their dictionary. To be more precise, even if the person involved refuses, the reporters will persist. Question. What’s more, most of the time, it’s the artists who beg reporters for interviews, especially newcomers..
“But this is Sundance, I have the right to interview, and you have the obligation to be interviewed." Cornell suppressed the swear words and tried to stay calm before speaking..
How come he never knew that Renly was such a difficult guy? Although he suffered some losses on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards, Gavin Hunter never said that Renly was so troublesome..
Renly felt a sense of absurdity arise, but he still maintained his etiquette and his smile remained the same, "This is indeed Sundance. But this is my private time now, and work matters will be left to my working time.".”
“"Crazy Love" has not yet been released, and the promotion has naturally not started. In fact, this period of time is the same as before and will be similar after that. The work schedule is full, and the interviews are round after round, endless; next The busyness of awards season also means keeping your feet on the ground, whether or not "Buried Alive" receives an Oscar nomination..
Now, finally having some breathing time, he just wants to enjoy the atmosphere of Sundance with these movie lovers..
Cornell looked at Renly, dumbfounded, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he said aggressively, "Is it because I interrupted your date? Are you and Jessica Chastain dating? When did you two meet? ? Will you bring Jessica to attend the Oscars? Are you coming to Park City specifically to support Jessica's new work?？”
The noisy voice kept buzzing in his ears like mosquitoes. There was a hint of helplessness in Renly's smile. He cast his gaze towards Jessica, with a playful light in his eyes, and he spoke like a gentleman. The right to answer is left to the lady.
Unexpectedly, Jessica pursed her lips, then lightly shrugged, and mouthed, "His target is not me." That look of clearing up the relationship made Renly laugh..
Renly turned his head, kept smiling, and said to Cornell, "This...Mr." He did it on purpose. The confrontation on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards was only last week. How could he not remember this aggressive man? Where are the reporters? "My partners and I are talking. It's very rude for you to plan our conversation like this. I think the interview can wait a little longer. After all, this is not a rapidly changing Iraq, is it?"？”
Cornell gritted his teeth, but still did not give up easily. Without any pause, he continued to ask, "You came all the way to Sundance and did not stay in Los Angeles to promote. Is it because you gave up? Awards season Now that we have reached the most critical moment, don’t you have any special plans? Don’t you have any expectations for the next Oscar nomination?？”
Renly frowned slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and shook his head slightly, as if he hated iron, and said, "As a reporter, your preparation is really terrible..”
Although "Crazy" did not carry out any form of publicity, shouldn't the most basic job of a reporter be to determine the list of films to be exhibited at the Sundance Film Festival?？
Cornell doesn't know why.
The entry list for the Sundance Film Festival is the same every year, with unfamiliar names for the entire film, without any reference value. Big names in the independent film industry such as Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers, if they attend , there will be a press release coming out early, and Sundance officials will promote it. Even if they haven’t read the list of participating films, reporters will not rush it..
For "Entertainment Weekly", which focuses on gossip news, Cornell felt that there was no need to make any preparations..
However, Cornell would never show timidity in front of Renly, so he raised his voice and said more forcefully, "You should be the one who didn't understand the situation, right? Because Lionsgate Films is suspected of illegally canvassing votes, 'Dangerous Situation "Three Days" has been disqualified. Now major distribution companies are adjusting their promotion plans. Are you sure it's a good idea to stay in Park City? In the next period of time, Los Angeles will be very lively. Or do you think dating is a good idea? Friends among us are more important？”
The last words were spoken by looking at Jessica.
Jessica was not timid, with a calm smile on her face, and met Cornell's gaze in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, but did not respond directly. This made Cornell unable to act for a moment..
Renly was a little surprised. "Three Days of Danger" was disqualified from running? The publicity for this work has been very fierce since it came out of Toronto. After Lionsgate missed out on "Buried Alive", it put all its energy into the academy's public relations for "Three Days of Danger"; now it is not even qualified to compete. None. This is definitely a heavy blow to Lionsgate..
Vaguely, Renly captured a glimmer of information, but the time was too short, and the thought was fleeting..
“Thank you for the update." This was Renly's answer, no refutation, no argument, no discussion, no reflections, just a "Thank you.”.
Such a response was completely unexpected by Cornell. He had interviewed countless artists, and they were either angry, embarrassed, cooperative, repulsive, or fierce. There was always a reaction attribute. But the Renly in front of him was polite and gentleman. , alienated and indifferent, almost making him unable to find an entry point and no way to start..
Cornell was actually stunned..
Renly ignored Cornell and started the discussion with other friends again, "...What do you think?" The best way to deal with reporters is to either respond positively or ignore the cold treatment, although this will be criticized. Aloof and refusing to cooperate, the last thing Renly needs right now is interruption..
However, Renly's idea was destined to be unrealized. This time, his discussion did not elicit any response. Renly looked carefully and found that everyone was very reserved. The corner of his eyes was always circling Connell, his eyebrows squinting. The look on his face was a little helpless, which made Renly feel helpless..
For Renly, reporters are not only not scary, but also very familiar, and it is not difficult to deal with them; but for most people, reporters are a very special profession, some are curious, some are afraid, and some are admired..
Under Cornell's surveillance, it is almost impossible to talk freely. Although Renly is unwilling to admit it, Cornell's arrival still ruined today's discussion. It seems that it is time to discuss It’s time to reach a stage.
Renly nodded politely to the friends around him, including Jessica, and then turned and left. In a good mood full of enthusiasm, he was suddenly intercepted by reporters, which made Renly helpless. Still a little embarrassed.
He originally thought that Sundance, like Telluride, wouldn't have too many reporters, and even if there were, they wouldn't overwhelm the guests. The reporter just now was really disappointing..
“Renly! Renly! "Cornell's shout came from behind, somewhat angrily, "Do you know how rude your behavior is? A newcomer who has not yet achieved results is actually acting like a big name! This is so disappointing! "After Cornell finished speaking, he looked at Renly's back. He deliberately tried to anger Renly, but he was still disappointed.——
There was no anger, no depression, no panic. He still maintained an unhurried pace, as if he didn't hear anything at all. It was really a waste of time..
“……Are you sure you don't want to be interviewed? Are you sure you don't want to post any response? Are you sure you're going to leave rudely like that? Well, you have to pay for the consequences. I just won a Golden Globe nomination, and now I start to act like a big name. I have been here for a long time, and I can see all kinds of people.……”
Cornell's nagging voice came continuously from behind, but Renly never stopped. Because he knew that the reporter was trying to anger him, or to make him stop and refute. Once the conversation started, , the reporter can express himself freely. There is no need for him to care about such rubbish..
“"Papa papa", a crisp sound of footsteps came quickly from behind, and then Jessica's figure was seen, standing next to Renly, walking side by side, "I'm going to the coffee shop to buy a cup of hot coffee, you Woolen cloth? "Jessica said easily, as if Cornell's voice in her ears didn't exist at all..
“I could use a cup of coffee." Renly responded with a smile, "Do you have any movie plans this afternoon?？”
Renly and Jessica left the cinema unhurriedly. Cornell shouted from behind for about thirty seconds, but found that it had no effect at all. He felt aggrieved and angry, and couldn't believe his eyes. But Just giving up but not willing to do so.
He had already missed Renly once in Toronto; would Park City have to miss it a second time? If he could grab the scoop before the rest of the media encountered Renly... Connell thought about the attention Gale's two scoops had garnered..
Clenching his fist, Connell calmed down the boiling anger in his chest and quickly chased after him..
In the noisy cinema hall, people were constantly coming and going. At this time, only three people had left, and there was no impact. The six or seven people who had just been talking to Renly and Jessica withdrew their attention, and then returned Once we started talking, we regained our normalcy..
