626 King of Talking
There was a faint agitation in the spacious studio, and the three hundred seats in the auditorium were full. Everyone could not help but curious or excited, whispering and chatting in low voices. The sound was like dandelions flying all over the sky. It will affect the line of sight, but it makes all the scenery in front of you covered with a fuzzy veil; the staff are coming and going at a faster pace, completing the work at hand as quickly as possible and getting ready to record the next program.
“Jay-Leno, the host of "The Tonight Show", was sitting behind his host desk at this time, taking advantage of the break between recordings to look down at the interview materials in his hand..
Today, he chose a dark blue suit with a burgundy diagonal striped tie. He looked a little younger despite being steady, and his iconic big chin was still conspicuous..
Since the retirement of talk show king Johnny-Carson, Jay has taken over his mantle and hosted NBC's dominant talk show "The Tonight Show." For the past nineteen years, Jay has been the master of the show. "The Tonight Show" has always been the leader in late-night ratings, and has almost never given up its throne as the ratings champion. It is the most representative talk show in the United States along with "Saturday Night Live" and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart".
Any movie that can appear on the "Tonight Show" to promote it is a rare opportunity; any actor who can sit in front of Jay Leno for an interview is a stage to express himself. However, it is not just a random opportunity. Anybody in Hollywood could win such an opportunity.
The makeup artist squatted down and quickly touched up Jie's makeup, absorbing the oily shine on both sides of his nose, making sure that the light would not reflect and affect the lens, and then wiped the sweat from Jie's forehead and temples. When it was finished, I gave Jay a signal to confirm that the makeup was done..
Jie put the script in his hand on the table, raised his head and nodded to the director, indicating that he was ready. Then, the on-site director turned around and waved, and the noise on the scene suddenly stopped and he entered It was completely silent; then the red light of the camera came on, and the time countdown of the studio chief director came from the headset of each staff member at the same time, "Three, two, one……”
Jie habitually showed his signature smile, "Welcome back. Before introducing the next guest, I will take thirty seconds to talk about the interesting things I encountered this morning..”
“Today, about seven to eight hundred people gathered outside the studio. Our studio is not that big and cannot accommodate such a large audience. This gave me an unexpected surprise. I thought they were the audience who came specifically to support me. So I stepped forward and expressed my gratitude." Skilled and relaxed, with Jet's unique tone and tone, "But, they were shouting at me crazily, 'Master', indicating that they couldn't wait to see the Master. They had a confrontation with me. Yes, they didn't mention me from the beginning to the end. Everything was about this young master. I swear, except for my own fantasy, no one knows that my nickname is' Master'.I suddenly realized that I might have gone to the wrong studio.”
Jay's self-deprecating tone made the audience burst into laughter. Then without any pause or unnecessary nonsense, Jay tapped the pencil on the table and said, "Let us welcome, Renly Hall."！”
“"Hooray", cheers, shouts, and whistles rang out in an instant. The door on the left opened, and Renly appeared in front of everyone. All the noise and sounds reached a higher level, with the most enthusiastic , the most generous and friendly gesture to express welcome, the boiling screams are like scalding boiling water, gurgling continuously, and figures jumping, applauding, and laughing can be seen in every corner of the sight, and the heat is instant , as if arriving at the scene of a fireworks display.
Renly smiled and waved to the audience, without stopping, and then quickly walked towards Jay, gave him a polite and friendly hug, then walked to the sofa next to him and sat down..
However, the shouting at the scene did not stop for a while. Unfortunately, the calls mixed in the noise were clearly heard, "Renly!" "Master!" "Handsome guy!" "Sexy!" It was just an appearance, You can feel the completely different styles of "The Tonight Show" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show". Here it is...a lot more exposed..
Jay raised his hand and pressed it down slightly, and the cheers gradually calmed down. He then turned to look at Renly, "Welcome, welcome to the 'Tonight Show', so, what should I call you? Lan" Master Li? Master Hall?？”
“That's enough for the young master." Renly pursed his lips, retracted his chin with a smile, and said contentedly, with an understatement as if everything was taken for granted.——
In fact, this is indeed a matter of course. However, in the eyes of the audience, it was the first confrontation between Renly and Jay. Renly's calm posture, with a little pride and confidence, easily completed the attack. this is a good start.
This is the first official meeting between Jay and Renly. They have heard a lot of rumors, but after the actual meeting, the senses are different. The kind of confidence in Renly is not the youthful vigor and pride, but the sharp and restrained spirit. Elegant and calm, this was an interesting encounter. So, Jie gave up the originally planned question and asked, "Tell me, does the nickname 'Young Master' have any special story?"？”
“I do hope." The sullen look between Renly's brows, with a hint of ridicule, immediately made everyone chuckle, "But actually the story is very simple. In the first work I starred in, the character in the play was a rich young master. , this work won me a lot of attention at the time, but few people knew my name, so they called me by the name of the character in the play. Just like Harry Potter..”
“Are you sure? "Jie did not follow the usual route of being polite, but raised his eyebrows jokingly and asked, "I thought it was because the audience thought you had outstanding temperament and looked like a rich young man; or maybe, You come from a distinguished family, and you are indeed a young master..”
Faced with Jay's accurate guess, Renly did not panic at all. Instead, he lowered his chin seriously and showed recognition, "This is a good story. I think I should change it to this version in the future.".”
Regarding the background of the surname "Hall", George and Elizabeth definitely do not want Renly to use it carelessly. This is the only consensus between him and his parents. Even if their starting points are completely different.
Jay liked Renly's response. It was lighthearted, humorous, and self-deprecating. It made his smile grow. "So, how does it feel? First time on 'The Tonight Show.'’？”
“I thought you would only hear this question in the morning time." Renly's counterattack made Jay stunned. The laughter was already ringing, and the subtext was talking about "The Oprah Show" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" "Chicken Soup for the Soul" style, which is out of place on a late-night talk show..
Renly then continued without waiting for Jay's reaction, "Dream. To be honest, I don't quite understand why 'The Tonight Show' agreed to my attendance. Are you sure my agent didn't pay bribes or solicit sponsorship?"？”
“"The Tonight Show", the most-watched late-night talk show in the United States, has been untouchable for nearly two decades. A small-budget independent film like "Crazy", even with the support of Focus Features, is not qualified to be on the show. Eligibility; even for awards season productions, there’s an endless list of projects lined up to be on “The Tonight Show.”.
However, Renly appeared on the "Tonight Show" and became a hot topic. This was only Renly's second talk show. The first was "The Ellen Show" and the second was "The Tonight Show". ", such a starting point is indeed a dream for newcomers.
Jay finally came to his senses and couldn't help laughing, because Renly's sentence just now contained too many ways to retaliate, and he could easily create laughter. Precisely because there were too many, Jay instead I don’t know how to start. I haven’t seen such an interviewee for a long time..
“Your answer sounds like chicken soup for the soul in the morning." Jay's arrow pointed directly at the "Oprah Talk Show." These two talk shows are quite different. They dislike each other and complain about each other, but It’s often a win-win situation—stimulating ratings and going, “Wow, I’m so excited! Oh my God, I can't believe it! "Jie raised his hands and placed them next to his cheeks. He imitated the guests at the "Oprah Talk Show", holding his throat and letting out bursts of sharp exclamations. It was so vivid that the audience burst into laughter..
Faced with such an attack, Renly still did not panic. He just looked at Jay's imitation with a smile. After the noise calmed down a little, he said, "Actually, I originally wanted to say that this is just a talk show, you know , even though this is the most popular talk show in the United States, it is just a talk show after all. I don’t think it will be more difficult than acting, but such an answer is obviously not interesting enough.……”
“Oh oh oh! "The scene was filled with laughter, boos, and shouts. Jie also raised his hands in a mischievous manner, constantly fanning the atmosphere of the scene, and collectively booed, interrupting Renly's words. Jie himself also covered his mouth, Hissed, “Porphy! porphyrin！”
Renly's mouth curved into a bright smile, he spread his hands and turned to look at Jay, "Otherwise, I will attend the 'Tonight Show' today, and I will invite you to guest star in my next movie. Then, let Let the audience evaluate who's performance is better, then the controversy just now will come to light..”
War post. I never expected that Renly would directly challenge Jay's authority..
The more Jay thought about it, the funnier he became, and he kept shaking his head, "No, that's not fair. Everyone knows that I'm a terrible actor.".”
“So what you're saying is that I'm a good stand-up comedian? "Renly asked back..
Jay opened his mouth, should he admit it? If he admitted it, it would mean that Renly's ridicule just now was correct. Talk show is not necessarily more difficult than acting; should he deny it? If he denies it, will he appear in a movie to prove his "innocence"? Should he be vague about it? So how should we change the topic?？
Amazing, with his sharp edge in hand-to-hand combat, Renly is really eye-catching. Jay Leno began to look at Renly with admiration..
