The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1334: Where to go
"Let’s take a look at Damien Chazele’s resume
The new director, the second feature film, in order to prepare the second feature film, went around for nearly three years, even shot the ideas and ideas into a short film, trying to find investment at the Sundance Film Festival, but still failed Now, if it weren't for Renly Hall's help, then this feature film is still in the dark and long brewing.
In other words, the attributes of this work could not be clearer--
This is an independent work of art with a small cost and a small structure, and the subject matter is still a genre of music that is slanting forward, and there is almost no room for survival in the current market environment.
By the way, this is also the second consecutive choice of works closely related to music after "Drunken Country Folk Songs".
Everything is proving that Lan Li's acting career choice has entered a routine and model-based stereotype, this is not a positive and optimistic news. "
The specific reasons are elaborated in the article by Emily, but in the final analysis, there are actually two aspects.
First, the character who challenges the limit of self, pushes himself to the extreme again and again, trying to achieve a breakthrough, but falls into another mode, similar to the mode of Nicole and Malone, the similarities and repetitions between the characters and the characters become The shackles are restricted, and the breakthrough possibility of performance is restricted. There is nothing new for the audience.
Second, suitable for roles in film festivals and award seasons. There is one step away from egot, and one step away from the actor Grand Slam. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that people will be criticized as a "utilitarian" choice. It seems that some efforts have been made to achieve the award slam. If you act fiercely or hurriedly, it will be easier to overtake.
As the article said at the beginning, "Is Lan Li stepping into a dead end step by step?"
More importantly, as the party concerned, Lan Li is a fan of the authorities, so he didn't see the overall situation, so he ignored his own situation.
The reason why this article is said to be a piece of advice and concern, rather than a criticism and criticism, lies in Emily’s attitude in writing the article, which can be seen from the closing paragraph.
"As an audience, Lan Li once again chose an independent work of art. In fact, I raised my hands and feet to express welcome. The "Drunken Country Folk Songs" is still my deepest choice of Palme d’Or, and it is also the one that started in 2013. The personal list is the best. Watching Lan Li's performance on the big screen is a kind of enjoyment. I believe that he can still bring surprises among the'burst drummers'.
But also, as a movie fan, I can’t help but worry. Lan Li is really too young. On the one hand, he reached the peak early, and on the other hand, he limited his possibilities. Once his career has reached a dead end, the road to climb to the peak again will be extremely difficult. Long and hard, this is a loss for everyone.
The great success of'Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5'and'Edge of Tomorrow' proves Lan Li’s ability to control commercial films and also proves Lan Li’s potential in the box office market. If he is willing to open up more possibilities and continue to expand himself In the field of performance, it is foreseeable that he has the hope of becoming the second Tom Hanks. "
In the long history of movies, there are really not many actors who have one-handed trophies and one-handed box office. In modern history, Tom Hanks is undoubtedly one of the leaders, whether it is "Forrest Gump" or "Remains of a Deserted Island." There are also films such as "Apollo 13", "Flying Over the Future", "Cat and Mouse Game", "Night Sleep in Seattle", etc., all of which are both box office and word-of-mouth, award nomination and audience pursuit.
There is no doubt that Hanks is currently the most appealing actor in Hollywood, not one of them, both inside and outside the industry.
Now, Emily is expecting that Lan Li will become the next Hanks, so the details can be seen, she has high hopes for Lan Li.
"To be honest, even if Lan Li sits in front of a movie screen like'Before Sunrise' or'Manhattan', nagging for two hours, I am willing to walk into the cinema to watch. I sincerely hope that this outstanding young actor can Continuing my artistic career for a long time, it is not easy to find an actor for whom I fell in love."
The above is Emily’s point of view. She congratulates the young Lanli for the great achievements and brilliance that are not in line with her age. At the same time, she also expressed her worries. Behind the text is the fear of prosperity and decline. .
It is often said that a Marlon Brando appeared only half a century after the film was born, but now another half a century has passed before a Renli-Hall appears? Can Lanly really bear such praise and expectations?
From a certain point of view, this is a simple summary of the current view of the entire industry.
Originally, Emily was only published on her own blog. She did not expect that after reading it, the "New Yorker" obtained the exclusive rights to reprint, and published it on her own website and magazine, which further caused a curl. The long-term impact of the aftermath.
Regarding the crossover slam of egot, the grand slam of the three major European film festivals, and further, regarding the grand slam in the field of performance, all speculations and expectations are now possible to be realized, and they have naturally become all media. The focus of the discussion, but after that?
Emily's point of view can be regarded as a microcosm of countless points of view.
In such a miniature, many possibilities have evolved, all of which are reflected in many questions during airport pick-up, and one of them raised doubts.
Who the **** is Damien Chazele?
Such a little-known new director succeeded in attracting Lan Li to join, and even took over the production of the work in the name of the producer.
For commercial films with a mature production process, this is not a problem, even if the director is changed, it will not hurt; but for independent films whose production process is full of countless possibilities and many variables, this is extremely severe.
What is Lan Li thinking about? Furthermore, is Lan Li's arrogance and arrogance affecting his judgment?
After receiving the recognition of top awards in a row, is Lan Li going into a dead end, pushing himself into a corner, and then trapped in a mortar and unable to get rid of it? Or, is Lan Li blinded by being too paranoid about acting? Leaving aside all kinds of so-called spells, is Lan Li being lost and confused?
Their views are not as mild and positive as Emily, they are more extreme and sharp. It seems that Lanly’s career is hanging by a thread, and the "burst drummer" may become the trigger point to destroy everything. It may even go toward destruction step by step like Heath Ledger.
However, this is not the first time such alarmist remarks have been made.
After "Crazy Love" took off the Oscar figurines, the media continued to question, from "detachment" to "drunken folk songs" to "gravity", almost every news that Lan Li took over a new work After the release, similar remarks will be lively again.
On the surface, they have seriously expressed their concern about the prospects of Lan Li's career; deep down in the core, they are still making hype gimmicks and exploding interest-oriented views. In the final analysis, they are still creating topics.
However, the biggest difference this time is
The Oliver Awards, the Cannes Film Festival, and the upcoming Tony Awards have pushed Renly's acting career to a whole new level in one go, comparable to the serial pomp of the Berlin Film Festival, Grammys, and Oscars at the beginning of last year.
Therefore, supporters including Emily have also expressed their concerns. The articles written by the "New Yorker" have become a representative voice in the art field. Everyone is thinking about the same problem, "When the career is early After the earth has reached its absolute peak, how should the road in the future go on?"
It's like a quarterback on a high school football team. He reached the peak of his life early in high school and has been downhill since then. So where should they go?
The cheers and admiration about the Cannes Film Festival have not yet completely dissipated, and worries and reflections have begun to stir up, interpreting the meaning of "popularity" in a different way, and changing to other actors~lightnovelpub.net ~ At this time, all the media have been touting the sky, but for Lanli, it has touched the cloud without the need for praise. They can only start to cool down quickly, otherwise the situation will be completely out of control.
However, everyone has forgotten one point, and at the same time the most important point-
What does Lan Li think?
People selectively forgot. In the past four months, Lanly was on vacation and consciously slowed down his pace; people also selectively forgot, since last year’s Oscar, Lanly has deliberately returned. Starting anew on the theater stage; people have also selectively forgotten that Lan Li has always deliberately appeared in comedies or other types of movies, challenging different possibilities.
At least, Lan Li is aware of his predicament. He is also working hard to maintain his vitality and enthusiasm, to find a suitable path in his short acting career, to ensure that he can go on for a long time, at least from now on. Look, he has no plans to retire.
Not for success, but to satisfy thirst/hope.
On the road of an actor, Lan Li still remains thirsty/hopeful.
Therefore, Renly returned to New York without any delay after leaving Cannes; therefore, Renly rejected the media interview and went straight to the preparation of the new work; therefore, Renly selectively ignored the Tony Award and the possibility of egot; therefore, Lan Li focused on the performance of the next work.
In fact, this is not an easy task for Lan Li.
Not only because he has never experienced it, but also because there are only a handful of actors who have experienced such a situation in the entire history. Only by really being in it can you feel the ubiquitous pressure and urgency, as well as the suffocation that language can't describe. sense.
