The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2009

[1973 Cultural Differences]

Adjusting his breath, not taking a deep breath. Hidden beneath the placid exterior, Renly was slowly adjusting his physical condition, and finally calmed down.

“Nathan, is there still water in the water glass?” Renly exhaled lightly, suppressing the restlessness in his body, and his hoarse voice successfully concealed the beating heart, still maintaining the surface calm and calm, It seemed to be just a little tired from the early morning hours.

After asking for the girl’s mailing address, Nathan quickly caught up and returned to Renly’s side. Hearing the question, he nodded immediately. He had just asked for a thermos in the VIP room and temporarily dressed some. Warm water – although Nathan couldn’t understand why Renly was drinking warm water, shouldn’t it be chicken soup or hot wine?

But at this time, Nathan immediately handed over the warm water glass.

Renly took two sips of water, his dry throat was like rain in the desert, he finally felt a little more comfortable, and then he could see Nathan’s scorching eyes staring at him worriedly, which made Renly reveal a With a shallow smile, “Look at me again, this face will be seen through.”

A joke made Nathan feel a little relieved, and continued to raise his head and glanced at Renly secretly, confirming that Renly seems to be possible. It’s probably really okay, and the uneasy mood calmed down a little. He took the thermos and stood behind Renly again, without saying anything.

Renly turned his head to the side, and then saw the fans who were still standing not far away. He looked down at the “Joke” book in his hand again, a little annoyed, but he was still impulsive just now – or all the gifts were gone. Accept, now once a precedent is set, what will other fans think?

With a sigh, Renly whispered to Nathan, “You told them not to give expensive gifts. I am very grateful to them, but those gifts are too expensive.” After that, Renly joked. He said, “You know, I don’t really mind if they make dish towels.”

Roy stood by and rolled his eyes, “Make a wish carefully.”

Renly couldn’t help laughing, and paused, he seemed to have noticed in advance Nathan’s unease —

Nathan’s mind is not firm enough, maybe he will be forced into his hands by fans?

This thought made the corners of Renly’s mouth rise slightly, “You tell them that the heart is the most important thing, I still hope to communicate with you through movie music, which is more important than gifts. By the way, if they are tough You can’t take it, otherwise, you may lose the job.”

Renly’s joking words made Nathan’s cheeks turn pale, and he looked at Renly with panic. He moved his lips but couldn’t make a sound.

Renly didn’t explain.

He chuckled again and patted Nathan on the shoulder, “Go over and express my thanks for me.”

Nathan nodded ignorantly, then turned around and walked towards the fans, but his steps were a little hesitant. Just as he was about to face the Three-Headed Dogs of Hell, Ren Li’s body couldn’t help but feel a little relieved from the towering back of Zhan Zhan.

Turning his head, Renly saw Annie’s eyes full of curiosity and surprise, because they were so close to each other that even if they didn’t want to eavesdrop, there was no way to avoid them, so Annie said generously, “You’re used to it. already?”

Renly hooked his lips, “Annie, this is the second time I’ve arrived here.” Annie didn’t believe it at all, and the questioning eyes made Renly spread her hands, “I’m serious, last time It’s ‘Gravity,’ this time it’s ‘Interstellar,’ and that’s it.” To promote the movie there were indeed only two, and Renly wasn’t lying.

Annie pursed her lips. Although she still didn’t believe it, her eyes fell on the “joke” book in Renly’s hand, but she could faintly perceive a slight difference – after all, such a gift is definitely not something that ordinary fans can think of. Yes, in

the end, she didn’t say much, but cast her gaze in the direction of Nathan and the fans again, full of curiosity –

there is no way, she has never seen such a phenomenon in North America, even if it is heard. No, it’s really a spectacle to watch fans take piles of luxury goods into the arms of their favorite actors, and the novelty and shock make sleepy worms run away a lot.

Cultural differences can always broaden horizons.

“You said, are we Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart now?” Annie bumped Renly with her shoulder, and said jokingly, that playful demeanor had a girlish spirit Weird, with a humorous style unique to Anne.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who have become American idols because of “Twilight”, may be the closest actors to “icons” in the American entertainment industry in recent years; as for singers, One Direction and Justin Bieber and the list went on and on, but Annie wasn’t sure whether those idols would get the same treatment, which was the closest analogy she had in mind.

Renly raised his eyebrows, raised his chin, and squinted at Annie, “That’s your best standard? God, I’m hurt, I thought at least Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Or Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.” These two couples were the best couples in the United States at the time, and their influence was much greater than the “Twilight Couple”.

Annie pursed her lips and shook her head, “They all ended up breaking up, I don’t think that’s an appropriate metaphor.”

Renly didn’t refute, “Then at least it should be Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. ”

Haha!” Annie burst out laughing happily, the laughter vibrated loudly, and then she realized that her laughter was too exaggerated, and quickly stopped her voice, but the smile deep in her eyes was not Still surging, “I’m serious, I mean, someone actually followed us inside the airport, and then gave gifts, I really haven’t heard of this kind of treatment, even Robert Pattinson and Ke Kristen Stewart doesn’t seem to have, you say, where did they come from?”

This is definitely a big mystery, Annie has no concept at all.

Renly just heard about it, “You know, in Asian fan culture, there is an action called ‘following the plane’, which specifically means that they will have their idol’s passport number through their own channels, or work from the airport. The staff bought the information and checked the idol’s flight in advance…”

“What?” Before Renly could finish speaking, Annie exclaimed, and even Nolan leaned over, listening with surprise in his eyes. , “Isn’t this a leak of personal privacy? This…doesn’t it really need to call the police?”

Renly nodded lightly, “Yes, their investigative ability and penetration ability are comparable to private detectives. I think they can become talents in the future.” Whether this is praise or ridicule, but it is unclear. Maybe a combination of the two. “In any case, after they investigate the itinerary, they will buy a ticket for the same flight next. If they are lucky, they can even sit next to their idol. Even if they are not so lucky, they will You can walk around in the cabin, or like just now, you can block the idol in advance in the airport, and get close contact at the first time.”

As for today’s situation, the publicity itinerary of “Interstellar” is completely open, and Warner Bros. The hope is to create more interactions on social networks in this way, so fans don’t need detective skills to know their movements at all, and it becomes easier to follow closely.

“Wow.” In addition to being amazed, Annie and Nolan didn’t know what to do. This was just… unheard of, it was really shocking.

At this moment, the group of fans seemed to notice the curious gaze of Annie and Nolan, and they all started screaming and cheering. The lively sound continued to surge in the airport lobby, and the heat wave could be clearly felt. ; At the same time, the arrival hall outside the airport hall can also begin to humming, responding one after another, surrounded by agitation, that unique feeling is also very rare.

“What about the cost?” Nolan looked back and couldn’t help but ask curiously, but Annie rolled her eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Nolan’s focus.

But what Nolan said is indeed true, because such a cost is definitely not cheap – even the promotional crew members, their travel expenses are reimbursed by the film company, if it is out of pocket, it is another matter.

Ren Li spread his hands, “I don’t know much about this, I just heard about it, but I have no way to verify it. I just heard that some fans are really rich, and their superior family background can fully support their star-chasing actions; Fans, they are just like those collectors. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com saves all the pocket money, maybe once or twice a year, just like comic collectors or figurines collectors , not necessarily rich but dedicated enough.”

Anne and Nolan suddenly realized, but they were still very shocked.

“There are also some fans who are smart people. They have evolved into an industry chain through their own star-chasing actions.” Renly’s words were interrupted again before he could finish speaking. This time, it was Nolan, who was single With the back of his hand behind him, he shook the free hand directly and decisively, “Impossible, absolutely impossible.”

Renly was not in a hurry, just looked at Nolan with a smile, paused, and said, “On the one hand, they can Pretending to be in and out of the same occasions as top stars, and pretending to be an insider or an upper-class person, can attract a lot of fans and even sponsors. On the one hand, they can take first-hand photos at close range, even exclusive ones, and then print them as picture albums and sell them inside fans, which is very valuable.”

This can definitely be said to open the door to a whole new world!
