779 Reporters gathered
Entering the room next to the press conference, the reporters behind him stopped one after another, and the clicking sound gradually left outside the door. Then Renly saw familiar faces, Tony Kaye, Carl- Lund, Christina Hendricks, Marcia Gay Harden, Sami Gayle and Betty Kaye.
For a small-budget independent film, it is really rare to have such a complete and complete promotional lineup. Tony Kaye's status and connections in the art circle are evident; of course, the cast itself is also a topic of discussion. Although Christina and Marcia attended the Berlin Film Festival for the first time, they are also unknown actors in the industry..
“Hey, guys." Renly said hello with brisk steps and a smile, and everyone responded. Sammy and Betty, two young men, couldn't help but stand up and greeted them with excited expressions. Come up - Sami is more excited than nervous, while Betty is more nervous than excited, both little girls' bodies seem to be trembling slightly..
“Renly, you finally showed up." Sammy kept jumping on the spot and said with a trembling voice, "There are so many media today. I'm serious, there are so many reporters! "I don't know if it was because I was so excited that my vocabulary decreased sharply. I heard a lot of repeated words in two sentences..
Betty seemed speechless, she just nodded her head in agreement, her expression slightly stiff..
“You can imagine that there are a bunch of watermelons in front of you, and you will feel much smoother. This is useful to me." Renly gave his opinion with a smile, and gave Sammy and Betty a hug respectively..
Betty hugged Renly tightly without any special words, but she could feel her nervousness, timidity and rejection. From a certain perspective, Betty was indeed Meredith, the Meredith in "Transcendence". Redis.
Renly opened his hands, hugged Betty, and patted her back gently, "The most difficult period has passed. You should be proud. Believe me, an occasion like today is better than repeating a scene." For seventy-one shots, it really couldn’t be easier..”
After making fun of himself, Sami, who was standing next to him, was the first to laugh heartily. Betty also gradually relaxed and laughed involuntarily..
Marcia stood up, walked over slowly, and joked with a smile, "Don't worry, just leave all the dirty work to Renly today. We are just watching the show, pay attention, and be in a daze." Don’t let reporters capture your expression, this is our only job.”
Before Renly could retort, Tony and Karl walked over one after another. Tony's steps were brisk, his smile was cheerful, and he had no intention of hiding the good show between his brows and eyes, "Yes, yes, yes. Renly is here, so there is no need to worry. All the reporters today are here for Renly..”
“Hey! Regarding the movie, are you sure you don't want to promote it properly? "Renly opened his mouth to retort, but Tony turned away from the shopkeeper and looked at Renly intently, "Your job." After saying that, Tony walked towards the side door of the waiting room calmly. Renly His eyes intersected with Karl who was half a step behind..
Unexpectedly, Karl also had a "respectful" look on his face, patted Renly's shoulder, and then followed Tony slowly and walked over..
Turning around, Renly saw the smiles on Nathan and Roy's faces. Sensing Renly's gaze, Nathan hurriedly avoided his gaze, pretending to be looking at the texture of the ceiling, while Roy calmed down and gently He coughed lightly and walked towards the other assistants, managers, and makeup artists sitting next to him..
Shaking his head helplessly, Renly also took steps towards the side door. Everyone stood at the door. The side door opened a gap, and a faint buzzing noise could be heard, and then a steady voice came through the microphone. , "Gentlemen and ladies, the press conference has now officially begun. Let us welcome the crew and creative staff of 'Transcendence'！”
There was no fancy introduction or grand entrance. After a simple introduction, the side door opened. Tony walked in the front, leading the "Transcendence" crew and filed onto the stage..
Click... click... the sound of the shutter gradually gathered; click, click, click... click, when Christina appeared, the rhythm seemed to speed up slightly, and someone could be heard shouting, "Christina!" The shout was full of enthusiasm and sincerity, causing low laughter to resound in the scene; then, click...click...the frequency of the shutter dropped again. The two complete newcomers still didn't have enough recognition. , but, the next second——
Click click click click click click.
The entire shutter frequency doubled several times, and the brightness and density of the flash reached its peak. The reporters pressed the shutter at a speed that made people breathless. The entire banquet hall reverberated with crisp and dense sounds, which could even be faintly heard. Hearing the low cheers, the unbearable excitement and excitement suddenly surged, and the temperature in the room was rising rapidly at a clearly visible speed..
The intense and boiling sound of the shutter, the difference was so obvious that Tony and Marcia, who were walking in the front, couldn't help but stop. The rest of the crew also stopped and turned around to look over, but this time At that time, the line of sight had turned into a silver ocean, and the entity could not be seen at all. Only a vague outline could be seen. The tall and straight figure stood out from the crowd, making people recognize it at a glance..
Faced with such treatment, Renly didn't seem to be too panicked. He walked forward slowly and stood behind Sammy. Then he raised his hand and waved, signaling Tony and others to continue moving forward. Standing here, causing a traffic jam, that calm and unhurried posture seems not to be the hot focus of countless cameras..
Only then did Tony and the others react. They all chuckled in a low voice, moved on, and then began to look for their seats. There was a long table above the stage, with nameplates placed on the table, and the crew members had been arranged in advance. Seats. The staff standing aside also quickly stepped forward to give guidance..
Renly also took a step forward, looking for his seat, but a voice came from the audience, "Renly, can you stand aside and let us take pictures for a while?"？”
After asking the question, many reporters chuckled. Renly tried to respond, but found that without a microphone, his voice could not be heard at all - this was a super banquet hall that could accommodate three hundred people, without a microphone. If so, it would be very difficult to propagate sound.
Under the guidance of the staff, Renly found his seat: in the center. To his left was Tony, and to his right was Sammy. Obviously, he was the core of the entire "Transcendence" crew, which made Renly quite Feeling helpless, he looked at Tony and whispered, "Shouldn't you be the one sitting here?？”
Tony patted Renly on the shoulder, "My work is done, now it's your job.”
During the filming stage, the director is the core of the entire work; during the promotion stage, the male protagonist is the core of the entire work. In this regard, Tony's division of labor is very clear. What he dislikes most is dealing with reporters, because every confrontation has a different outcome. It was tense and the scene was heated. This was the second time today that he emphasized such a point..
Renly couldn't help but smile, and sat down without any more polite refusal. He looked around to make sure that Sammy and Betty were both sitting down, but he noticed that Sammy had picked up the mineral water bottle and was trying to open it, but it seemed that because of Because I was so nervous, my hands were shaking all the time, so that I couldn't turn the bottle cap open no matter what..
Renly took the mineral water bottle from Sammy's hand, twisted it gently, unscrewed it, and handed it to Sammy again. Then he looked at Betty and signaled with his eyes. Betty also handed over the mineral water. Showing a shy smile and whispering "Thank you", Renly took the mineral water bottle with a chuckle..
“Renly, can you show us what you're wearing today?？”
The reporters in the audience have not yet entered the formal interview session, but they are asking questions one after another, seeming to liven up the atmosphere and also seem to be inquiring about gossip..
Renly handed the unscrewed mineral water bottle to Betty again, turned around, and then saw Tony handing over his own mineral water. Renly looked over in confusion, but Tony showed a " "I'm very weak" innocent expression, which made Renly laugh happily, but he still took the mineral water bottle and unscrewed it..
Seeing this scene, the reporters at the scene chuckled one after another..
After finishing his "work", Renly fiddled with the microphone in front of him and said, "Well, I wore clothes and pants today, just like you, nothing special." His brisk words were ridiculed and did not stop. The laughter becomes more and more joyful.
“Renly, I mean, you always seem to have a way of dressing your own style, whether it's the red carpet or your private life. Not too long ago, the Daily Mail did a survey online and over 20,000 people voted, Favorite celebrity dressing style for people under 25, you beat out Robert Pattinson, David Beckham and Johnny Depp to win the title. First place for boys and girls, both.”
The reporter in the audience explained the ins and outs, which made Renly chuckle, "The reason is simple, if you are as tall as me, you can do it too..”
The reporters burst into laughter, but someone in the audience shouted, "No, that's absolutely not the case." Then the reporter stood up. He was very tall, estimated to be 6.4 feet (195 centimeters). ), but he was wearing a blue-gray shirt, a khaki zippered sweater, and a khaki work jacket. His whole body was gray and he looked listless, as if he was like everyone in real life. Like a tired middle-aged man.
Such a comparison made the whole audience burst into laughter and couldn't stop laughing at all. Even nervous Sammy and Betty were no exception..
This is definitely an atypical Berlin Film Festival.
