"Hungry to get attention?" Lance's ending sound rose slightly, but it was not a question, but a retort, with a natural attitude, which made everyone on the scene chuckle. Lance continued, "I know, if I say it was to record the filming process of the movie, as a memory; or if it was purely an accident, it would make things easier..."

Most independent filmmakers have the temperament of an artist, and the artist always has a kind of arrogance in their bodies, which is a kind of character. Most artists are unwilling to admit that they have bowed their backs for five dou of rice. That's why Lance has this saying.

However, before Lance finished speaking, Jay interrupted him and shook his head, "No, you missed the opportunity." The subtext is that Lance's performance just now has destroyed the image in the audience's mind. Now even if Lance poses as an "artist", no one will believe it. This made everyone laugh and mixed with a lot of applause.

Lance didn't care, but just shrugged, "That's what I mean." admitted frankly, this made the laughter louder. "Now the film market is developing more and more mature, but at the same time the competition is getting more and more intense, and more talents are investing in independent films. This is a good thing for the audience, but not necessarily for me." This self-deprecating made Jay chuckle, "As a novice director, filming a work with a unique theme, and it is in Portuguese, I think I really need some help."

Lance only used a few words to show his weakness to the enemy, but honestly and frankly admitted the hint in Jie's words, and immediately won the applause of all the audience. When the sound of the scene became a little smaller, Lance added, "I mean, except alcohol." It echoed the first half of the sentence, and the self-deprecating teasing made everyone laugh.

Jay also applauded Lance in his heart, but the sharpness of the conversation was not restrained. "But why is it a blog? I mean, there are many choices in publicity, right?"

"No, not for me." Lance blocked Jay's words and directly denied it. Jay cast a gaze for inquiries. Lance continued, "The reason is very simple, because the Internet does not need to spend money."

Jie opened his mouth slightly, as if he was a little surprised, "It's that simple?"

Lance nodded, "It's that simple." Looking at Jay's surprised expression, Lance spread his hands, "Don't think too complicatedly, I'm having a sandwich for lunch." This simple sentence contains too many profound meanings, which makes the audience burst into laughter again.

"Free publicity, but the effect is so outstanding, I didn't expect it, right?" Jie finally brought the topic to the point.

"No, I won't say that." Lance's answer made Jay stunned, and he retorted, "Oh? Do you have a different view on this?" Lance chuckled, "The most amazing thing about the Internet is that it is a platform that anyone can access, including you, including me..." Lance's meaningful words seemed to imply that the two of them were banned from communicating with the outside world in prison, which made everyone on the scene burst into laughter, "So, everyone has the right to express their opinions on it. I just didn't expect that so many people would be interested in a movie about Brazil."

The last self-deprecating joke reminded the scene of the whistle again, and Jay couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and applauded gently, "I have to admit that this left a deep impression on me, and I began to become interested in the movie." Jay was telling the truth. The brief conversation did transfer his interest from the blog to the movie. "The interview has been going on for a while, but I think I seem to have made a mistake. I never mentioned this work, so let's talk about it, 'City of God', yes, I've said the name of this movie, 'City of God'."

The audience instantly applauded collectively, and the staff of the program team seemed a little surprised. Although this was the effect they expected, the audience's reaction was far beyond expectations and the atmosphere was really hot.

"I'm sorry, I haven't watched this movie yet, I just watched the trailer..." Jay said and looked at Lance, who took the initiative to take the topic, "Yes, I'm sorry, the movie is only previewed in a few art theaters. If you want to watch it, you need to queue up to buy movie tickets."

Lance's tone of course made Jay laugh, "Line line?"

"Yes, in my dream." Lance nodded.

Jay raised his eyebrows, "That must be a dream."

The question and answer were very fast, which made the audience laugh, and Jay also smiled loudly, "So, let me introduce this movie - and those who can't buy movie tickets in your dreams."

Lance nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course. This is a...uh, a movie about the City of God."

Jay was still waiting for the following, but Lance also watched quietly and waited for the following, which made Jay stunned. He spread his hands open, "So what?" Lance shrugged, "That's all." Jay opened his mouth, then touched his nose with a speechless expression, "So, aren't you going to promote your movie?" After receiving Lance's nodding reply, Jay continued, "Is this your best introduction? God, you really drive me crazy."

Jay's accusations made the audience laugh crazy, and Lance laughed brightly. After finally waiting for the sound of the scene to calm down slightly. Lance looked at Jay, "So, do I have a chance to do it again?"

"No, you missed it." Jie's answer was briefly yes.

Lance raised his hands, showed a helpless expression, and then put his hands down, as if he had accepted the result. This abnormal behavior made Jay stunned. The brief conversation just now made Jay clearly know that Lance was not a person who gave up easily. The conversation between the two was facing each other, sparking and almost no gaps. The laughter continued from the beginning to the end, but now Lance compromised like this? This is not normal.

"Are you serious? That's the way you introduce the movie?" Jay continued with a hint of curiosity, but Lance didn't say anything, just raised his hands and still accepted the reality calmly, which forced Jay to speak again, "When you promote the movie, this is what it is? 'This is a movie about the City of God, so it is called City of God?"

Lance widened his eyes, looking like he suddenly realized, "So... can I...?" The subtext means, did I get a second chance? The expression of getting a cheap and being obedient made Jay roll his eyes directly. The audience clapped his hands and laughed together, but Lance did not miss this opportunity. "I mean, of course, there are many ways to introduce a movie, but my movie is indeed quite special. It does not use a certain character as the protagonist, but the entire City of God as the protagonist, telling the changes here over the past thirty years."

"But there are still main characters?" Jie asked and understood.

Lance pursed his lips and pointed his chin, "Of course, the story is still a human story, but these characters are part of the entire City of God." At this point, Lance looked at the audience, "I just think that instead of constantly praising my movies here, it is better to save you some time. Hey, are you interested in the thirty-year history of Queens? If you think it's good, you can go and see the slums in Brazil; if you are not interested, then..." Then Lance raised his hands and showed a regretful expression.

"Now it seems that you are indeed an independent director." Jay repeated meaningfully, meaning that Lance has a full personality.

Lance hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "If you think." This made Jay stunned. Lance seemed to notice Jay's reaction, and then said, "It's like you're a late-night talk show host."

This is the fact. Jay is indeed a talk show host, but when Lance interprets it like this, it feels strange, just like... it is like saying that he is a undresser/dance/girl. "No!" Jay frowned and raised his voice and said, "I am a funny artist."

Lance spread his hands and showed a "look" expression. Jay then realized that he had fallen into Lance's trap, which made Jay's expression unpredictable. The applause and laughter of the audience were drowned in the cheering, and even the staff began to cheer.

Jay wanted to take a step closer, but found that the director was indicating that the fifteen-minute interview time was up. Jay's first reaction was "What, I'm not over yet", and there was also the topic of war and the topic of the blog! But then he realized that it was not that his interview was not over, but that Lance's performance was far beyond expectations. They had not even talked seriously about the work "City of God", but he had left a deep impression on him.

Jay realized that he not only underestimated Lance, but many people underestimated the new talented director.

Jie immediately packed up his thoughts and said with a smile, "Now it seems that I am a funny artist, and you are a director." The difference between director and independent director is just a prefix, but the meaning is distinct. "If you are interested in this director's works, please queue up to buy movie tickets in the local art theater in time." Jie did not forget to tease Lance, "'City of God', I hope everyone can give back as soon as possible, and I will decide whether to enter the cinema. Let us thank Lance! Thank you for your company today."

Jay finished the entire interview session in just a few words, then stood up again and gave Lance a hug, patted Lance on the shoulder, "I'm looking forward to you going to my show again next time."

Lance gave Jay a big smile, "I hope so."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qimao is here to wish you all the best in the Year of the Monkey and be happy every day!
