Movie Master

In Lance's seemingly polite words, there is a profound meaning hidden, which makes people can't help savoring it carefully. On the surface, it seems that they just return the topic to the movie-this is what any actor will do. The processing is out, but after the aftertaste, you can detect the difference. Especially the words that follow.

"Actually, it was my idea to choose the Los Angeles theater." Lance took the initiative to bring the topic up, making Jonathan, Cliff and others stunned, obviously not expecting such a turning point, "I originally planned to invite George I attended tonight’s premiere with Brad, but unfortunately I was rejected.” Lance’s helpless expression made everyone on the scene laugh out loud, “Later I realized that I wanted to be with George and Brad. Competing for good popularity, obviously I picked the wrong opponent." He put on a high hat for the competitor quietly, "So I can only find another way, hoping to invite more audiences and let everyone participate in the premiere , and went into the screening hall to watch the movie, and then gave me my sincere opinion. Obviously, the Los Angeles theater has a unique advantage in this regard." After speaking, Lance looked at the crowd of reporters in front of him, "Look now Come on, the effect is far beyond expectations."

Sharp sarcasm, humorous, well-balanced... Amidst the lively chatter and laughter, Lance not only made the box office competition of the two films friendly, but also fought back against the news media's fear of chaos. Mr. Dee Allen's demeanor is only less world-weary and sharp than Woody's, and it also lacks the arrogance of a literati.

"In fact, in the process of filming this film, thanks to Tom's cooperation, we tried many different possibilities, trying to bring a different work to the audience. Of course, I am not Quentin Talenti No, it's not George Lucas, so I simply hope the audience enjoys the movie."

Lance did not wait for the reporter's question, but continued following what he had just said. Inside and outside the words, it returns to the work itself of "killing people with a borrowed knife".

Sure enough, Brian, who was standing in the crowd, finally couldn't hold back, and asked loudly, "During the early publicity, Tom complained many times that the shooting process was very difficult. What did you do to him?" Complaining, Brian quietly The verb was changed silently, changing the nature of the whole question, showing the blade sharply and viciously.

Lance raised his hands, with an innocent expression on his face, "There is absolutely no rope involved." This was implying "binding", and with Lance's serious expression, even Brian was stunned, and then there were many people around him. Everyone laughed one after another, and some people didn't know why, so they whispered to each other.

Cliff glanced at Brian who hadn't reacted out of the corner of his eye, and then asked loudly, "So what role did you play in the movie?"

Originally, Lance hoped to use this topic to transfer to the movie, but obviously the reporter would not let him easily manipulate him, and immediately targeted the "actor" Lance, but this was also the expected result, Lance Putting his hands down, he smiled relaxedly, "A taxi driver, I am the obstacle in the process of carrying out the task for Tom, and it can also be said to be a collateral injury."

"Are you the protagonist?" Jonathan's voice sounded again, pressing harder and harder.

The original English name of "borrowing a knife to kill" is "Collateral", the literal translation should be "indirect, subsidiary, collateral", and it can also be used as a noun "guarantee, collateral". The whole core meaning actually refers to the abnormal relationship between Vincent and Max - obviously Max is an innocent person involved in it, but later Vincent also failed the mission because of Max's collateral influence.

So when Lance says his role is "collateral damage," he's totally on point. Jonathan only asked this question.

Lance didn't answer right away, but thought about it seriously, "I think it's more accurate to say that the director used his power for personal gain?" He bypassed the core question in a self-deprecating way, indirectly affirming Jonathan's guess, But there was an inexplicable black humor that made everyone laugh. "Hopefully this will not affect the box office performance of the film, otherwise it will be extremely difficult for me to seek Tom's cooperation next time."

Cliff knows that Lance is not easy to deal with, but today Lance is even more slick and friendly. He keeps talking about George and Brad, turning the gunpowder-flavored head-on confrontation into a It became a healthy rivalry between best friends, and no matter how hard they tried to light it up, Lance was like a wet log with no flame in sight.

However, Cliff did not intend to give up easily, he raised his voice and was ready to attack again, but there was an uproar behind him, and Cliff looked back reflexively - after all, today's most important protagonist Tom - Cruise has not yet appeared. Sure enough, another stretch car appeared on the street and slowly stopped at a snail-like speed.

Cliff looked back at Lance, who was standing next to Allen, and then at the car parked in front of the red carpet. He hadn't expected that the interview time was so short, and he turned his head again in a blink of an eye. Turning to Lance, he raised his voice and said, "Tom and Brad once collaborated on 'Interview with the Vampire', but they never collaborated again for the next twenty years, but this time they are standing in a confrontational position, what do you have? What do you think?"

A small group of reporters had already turned around and pointed their cameras at the beginning of the red carpet, while a small group of reporters were a little restless, which made Cliff, who was standing still and continued to ask questions, a bit abrupt. Lance Jing Quietly looked at Cliff for a while, but Cliff still showed no signs of giving up. The surprise and doubt between Lance's eyebrows burst out in an instant, and he answered irrelevant questions, "Don't Louis and Lester love each other?" ?”

There are still some people around who are still focusing on Lance. At this time, they have heard Lance's words full of doubts—as if the loyal movie fans' world view has been shaken, and there is urgency in surprise. It was as if the things they firmly believed were rejected by Cliff—the people couldn't help thinking about it, and when they understood the deep meaning, they all burst into laughter.

This time, the eyes that were originally looking at the beginning of the red carpet turned back again. However, before they could open their mouths to ask what happened, the exclamation sounded at the beginning of the red carpet. As a last resort, everyone could only turn their heads away again, including Cliff. Sometimes he has to keep an eye on new guests on the red carpet.

Then, people saw Kate Beckinsale in a bright red cheongsam, with slender legs, exquisite curves, fair skin and smooth black hair. Just one appearance took away many men while the gentleman standing beside her wore a simple white shirt, a light gray suit and black Oxford shoes, his shirt buttons were not all buttoned up, and he unbuttoned the top two buttons. The short hair fluttered casually in the wind, with a heroic and suave style.

Just one of the two people on the stage attracted the attention of the audience.

Taking this opportunity, Lance patted Allen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I think this is the signal for my exit." Allen laughed, and then Lance turned and walked into the the Los Angeles theater.

The focus of Cliff's camera also locked on the couple at the beginning of the red carpet, but he still turned his head to inquire about Lance's whereabouts, and found that Lance had left calmly, which made Cliff feel a little depressed. Facing Lance today, I feel very aggrieved - it's not that Lance is too cunning, but that Lance is too well-behaved today, avoiding all sensitive topics in a regular manner, with a feeling of punching cotton; But Cliff could sense the deep meaning hidden in Lance's words, and Lance didn't leave much space for him to attack. This kind of emptiness of exerting force but not being able to exert force was too uncomfortable.

Originally, Cliff thought that Lance would take advantage of the trend and further inflame the duel between "Borrowing a Knife" and "Ocean's Twelve", making the whole topic explode - at least that's what Lance did during the summer vacation this year , Let all the reporters be excited, lest the world will not be chaotic, and today's "Ocean's Twelve" premiere did the same. Everyone knows that Warner Bros. mentioned the scale of the premiere again and again, making it clear that In this competition, he has an overwhelming advantage in all aspects; but in fact, Lance did the opposite. Not only did he not confront him head-on, but he continued to show his favor. The whole conversation was full of friendship, avoiding the sharpness of the confrontation But focusing on the topic of the movie itself is like a dedicated product spokesperson.

Soon, this conjecture deep in Cliff's heart was confirmed-not just Lance, but the entire "Borrowing Knife" crew, from Kate - Beckinsale, Mark - Ruffalo, Michael - From Fassbender to Shirley Lansing and Brad Gray, everyone is humble and polite, with a peaceful coexistence and friendly competition attitude, even Tom Cruise.

During the live questioning session, Bryan directly put on the table the long-standing "confrontation" between him and Brad, and Tom also said with a smile on his face, "Actually, I have been looking forward to working with Brad again. Thought there was hope of becoming the twelfth person in 'Ocean's Twelve', but obviously, I'm still not as attractive as a beautiful woman. So, I think I'll call him to complain when I get back; or something like Just like Leicester, he went straight to the door."

This answer is perfect, not only talking and laughing, but also pointing to several topics, advancing and retreating properly, calmly. Even about Penelope and Matthew dating during the filming of "Sahara Troopers," Tom was gracious, "We're all having a good time now, and that's the most important thing. But those who want to see me Audiences who have a romantic relationship with Kate in the movie will probably be disappointed, there is no love line in this movie, so I specifically complained to Lance..."

With a small twist, Tom shifted the topic to movies again.

Cliff can sense that something is wrong, but... what is the plan of the crew of "Murder with a Borrowed Knife"?
