903 Exploring the Focus
"Michael, this is your second time working with Lance..." Jay took the initiative to point his finger at Michael. The newcomer of this variety show can be seen that Michael was always a little nervous. Unexpectedly, Michael shook his head and stretched out three fingers. "The third time." Jay showed a puzzled look. Michael quickly explained, "I played the role of the coffee shop clerk in 'Fruit Hard Candy'."
Jay suddenly realized, "Sorry, all my attention in that movie is on the other people." His eyes quietly turned to Lance, and after such a blatant hint, he was caught by the audience, there was another burst of laughter. "So, after working together three times, how do you feel? If there is another chance, do you want to continue working with him?"
"Of course." Michael started nodding without any hesitation, and his eager expression was beyond words. "Working with Lance, you can always learn a lot. During his directing process, he was very good at breaking the actor's personal habits and reshaping them. If not, start over and over again, constantly defeating the actors to achieve the effect he wanted. Therefore, when you see the performance you present on the big screen, you are often very surprised and don't really believe it is your own performance."
"So, this process is very painful?" Jay jumped to the conclusion directly. Michael nodded slowly while thinking, "It's true, but it's also a very happy process." Jay turned to look at Lance, "It seems that you haven't lost the confidence of all the co-stars." This is what he joked about when Tom Cruise was "killing people with a knife" promotional period.
But Lance did not respond to Jay's words, but turned to look at Michael, "Are you sure you don't have Stockholm syndrome?" A short sentence immediately made the audience burst into laughter. In just one sentence, he responded to several jokes in the previous interview, and laughed completely. Michael, who was teased, couldn't help but his cheeks turned slightly red, scratched his head shyly, revealing his neat teeth, and laughed foolishly, not knowing how to respond.
"So, have you felt more pressure during the time when the movie is about to be completed?" Jay's eyes glanced back and forth between Charlize and Michael. He finally found the entry point and raised the topic of Oscars. "You know, the time for the Oscars is getting closer, but the shooting is still not completed... I can't imagine how regrettable it would be if this year's Oscars were missing."
"No, no." Charlize shook his head, "I didn't feel it for me, but...but my situation is special, because my agent calls me almost every day, 'Hey, Sally, is that damn Lance? When can you come back to Los Angeles?'" Charlize's vivid imitation made people laugh, "So I don't feel it right, Michael, what do you think?"
Charlize turned his head and threw an inquiring look at Michael, and Michael shook his head, "No. Lance has been shooting at the established pace. I remember Emma Stone and Gisele Bundchen, and I were still sitting around, discussing whether Lance would really miss this year's Oscars." At this time, Michael's words began to lively again, "You know, for us, Oscars are almost the stage we dreamed of. We are willing to spend all the money to attend this event, but Lance is not in a hurry at all, and the crew began
Finally, the shooting was carried out in an orderly manner, and it felt like Los Angeles was another world. All of us couldn't help but talk. As a result, our drama business Albert Allen caught a regular meeting and just said, 'Has the process of the next scene been rehearsed?' We were all scared to speak. "Michael also made a cold war action, which was really funny. "Since we were shooting on the spot, the rehearsal is crucial. It's best that the problem can be completed in the rehearsal stage, so the shooting will be much smoother."
"You should be glad that it's not Lance who is standing behind." Jay sighed.
As the laughter sounded, Lance waved his hand, "No, no, if I stood behind, I wouldn't be so serious. I would definitely participate in their discussion seriously and express my own opinions." The focused attitude had a gloomy atmosphere, which made people shudder. Michael couldn't laugh out loud, but the audience burst into laughter again.
"So what would you say?" Jay took the opportunity to bring the topic to Lance.
"Of course, Oscars are the grand era of every year, and it is an honor to be present, let alone win the nomination." Lance had already prepared for a long time, and without any hesitation, he replied directly, "But the weather in the desert is indeed unsure, which has added a lot of uncertainty to the already difficult shooting. If I really missed the Oscar, I would certainly regret it, but I would not hesitate."
After the Oscars ended, there was actually a kind of remark in the circle that was quietly circulating, thinking that Lance was intentional. He originally planned to come back to the Oscars, but he deliberately delayed until the last moment, completely treating the academy as a mouse. However, Lance never made any response to such remarks - it was a guilty response. What's more, the academy was still in a state of anxiety because of the victory of the "crash". Lance did not need to add fuel to the fire and completely stalemate the relationship between the two sides.
From the guest lineup at the premiere of "Rampage Road" that Lance's choice was correct.
Today at the "Tonight Show", Jay also tested it a little. Seeing Lance's calm expression, Jay had no intention of continuing to discuss. "Lucky, you rushed back at the last moment." Jay sighed, and the applause sounded again, "Otherwise, this year's Oscar would be overshadowed. Congratulations, you won the first acting Little Golden Man!" The whistle and cheers boiled, and everyone sent Lance's belated congratulations, "So, how do you feel?"
Lance also had a faint smile on his eyebrows, "It's a little strange." This answer made Jay show a puzzled look, and he didn't quite understand, "I am a director, but I stood on the podium as an actor..." "Fruit Hard Candy" missed the Best Director Award and Best Picture Award one after another, which is indeed a great regret for this year's Oscars.
"This is indeed very interesting, isn't it?" Jie took over the topic with a smile, but did not follow the director's topic - he missed it for three consecutive years for three consecutive years. This is definitely the topic that people are most keen on in the past three months, but the Tonight Show is still mainly funny, and Jie directly avoided the past, "'Rampage Road' is only your third time as an actor, right? If it's a choice between a director and an actor..."
"Director." Lance gave the answer firmly. Seeing Jay's shocked expression, Lance couldn't help but chuckled, "What, are you looking forward to other answers? Screenwriter?"
Jay also laughed, "No, I mean, you are a very outstanding actor, you can almost say you have won the whole world." The audience immediately started screaming and shouting, which made Lance feel his super popularity again, "So, if there is still a chance, do you want to continue to star in the work?"
This is actually the hottest topic at the moment. After the release of "Rampant Road", Lance, who showed a completely different tough and strong appearance, instantly became popular all over the world. He almost swept his way, and strongly ranked the world's most popular sex/sensory man throne, stripped of his identity as a director, and reached a height that only actors could touch. This is really incredible.
Lance shrugged without a positive answer, "I must admit that I enjoyed the speed of sitting behind the camera more than being tested in front of the camera."
"So you are the master." Jay's inexplicable words stunned everyone, but Lance was the first to react. Jay was talking about the role relationship in "s&m", and the abuser was still the abuser.
Lance raised his eyebrows gently and looked at Jie with interest, "I didn't expect you to like this aspect." At this time, everyone else woke up. The ambiguous/abnormal atmosphere on the scene was really interesting. "If you want to discuss this topic with me, I will go back and read my personal notes and then discuss it in depth."
This response seemed meaningful, and the whistles of the scene suddenly came one after another. Michael didn't quite understand what was going on just now, so Charlize explained to Michael, and then heard the noise of the scene. The two people raised their heads and looked at Lance and Jay. The hot temperature at the scene made Michael's cheeks hot again.
Jie was very calm and leaned back, "I think these contents should have leaked the truth in the movie. Next, we will watch the clip of "Rampage Road" and let everyone identify it. Do you know which clip is being played today?"
Lance spread his hands, "I think the answer given by any clip is the same." Lance's answer responded positively to Jie again. The atmosphere in the studio became even hotter, and even Jie's smile could not be stopped. "Okay, I think this question should end here, otherwise Mevis will talk to me tonight." The audience burst into laughter, and Jie raised his voice, "Accessors, the clip of the 'Rampant Road'!"
The "Rampage Road" clip was immediately played on the big screen. This was decided after discussion between Chaos Pictures and TV stations. Lance really didn't know which clip to play. After the clip was played, advertising time was followed, which gave everyone a short breathing time.
Chapter completed!
