EGOT? The actor grand slam?

Lan Li is also an ordinary person, how could he not want to? How could he be indifferent? How could he stay out of the matter? How could he feel like water? How could he be detached from the world?

It can be said that he is vulgar, it can be said that he is superficial, it can be said that he is not pure enough, it can also be said that he is still not refined enough after all, but the truth is-deep in my heart, even if it is just the idea of ​​EGOT and the actor grand slam quietly coming out, The blood couldn't help but began to boil, and every cell in the body cheered.

It is for fame or profit, not for fame or profit.

In life, everyone tries to prove that they have existed and left some traces in this world. Even if they disappear one day, they can still live in the mouths of some people, pass on for a long time, and truly live in the society. A silk mark was left in it, firmly imprinted in the long river of time.

There was such a dinner party conversation among the "Burst Drummers".

Andrew’s father’s friend took two sons to visit, one is a football school team player, the other is a scholarship winner and a representative of the school’s Model United Nations. They have achieved secular success, which everyone envy; but just Andrew, an ordinary drummer, became a representative of nothing in their eyes.

So they began to discuss the definition of success.

Andrew said such a sentence, "I would rather abuse/alcohol/drug/drugs. I died young at the age of thirty-four and became a topic on people’s dinner table. I don’t want to live to ninety with a millionaire. Years old, but no one remembers me."

The object of their discussion was Charlie-Parker, the greatest jazz saxophonist in the history of American music, none of them. He even changed the composition and trend of jazz music, typical of the development direction of the entire culture. Because of his obsession with saxophone culture, Charlie Parker dropped out of school at the age of fourteen. After crazy hard training, he achieved his own glory, which is recorded in the annals of history.

In a sense, Charlie Parker is Andrew's role model and goal.

But in the eyes of most people, this is a one in ten thousand chance, and any attempt is just an excuse for not doing business properly.

In fact, these are two different philosophies of life. Some people want to live their lives in peace, stability and stability, but when death comes, they leave quietly like autumn leaves, which is complete; while some people want to be vigorous and vigorous. Managed vigorously for a lifetime, leaving a rich and colorful stroke on the chapter that belongs to him, proving that he once existed.

For every artist, it is the latter.

No one wants to be annihilated in the long river of history, more or less still expecting their own works, their own names, their own art and ideas to be passed on, and contribute their own strength to the annals of spiritual heritage and artistic inheritance. , Has become an important part of the social composition.

It is often said that artists are actually narcissistic.

This is the truth.

Lan Li is no exception.

If EGOT can be completed, if the actor grand slam can be completed, Lan Li will not hypocritically and uprightly say that these are meaningless; on the contrary, all these are his persistence, his efforts, his hard work, His persistence, his dream and his rebirth are the most important affirmations.

In the long history, he also left his own fortune.

Maybe one day in the future, he can see through the world, like Woody Allen, Jean-Luc Godard and other masters, get rid of worldly troubles, just enjoy the process of artistic creation, just enjoy the process of exploring and breaking through. , Only purely about art itself; but at least, not now.

From the Oliver Awards to the Cannes Film Festival, all the disturbing topics continue to linger in his ears, and Renly can't restrain himself from becoming impetuous, even if he does his best to participate in the film festival, but his mood changes. Still inevitable. In the final analysis, he is still an ordinary man, not as detached as he had imagined.

Lan Li knows that it is almost impossible to completely empty the brain. Even if he is a human being in two lives, this is an unprecedented special situation. He needs to stay awake, but also needs to remain humble, down-to-earth, and return to performance. , Once again devoted himself to the study of acting.

Therefore, Lan Li can’t wait to return to New York and devote himself to preparing for the shooting of "Burst Drummer", transforming the restlessness and thirst/hope in his heart, and the irritability and urgency in his emotions. Become the driving force behind Andrew.

Appropriately, Andrew has become a reflection of Lan Li's current mood, even more appropriate and more real than four months ago. This may be an important breakthrough for this performance.

For media reporters and industry insiders, the "burst drummer" is special; for Lan Li, the same is true. It's just that the reasons may be different.

This is the first time that Lanly has returned to the crew after a long break and adjustment. Both mentality and state need to be re-adapted; this is also the period when Lanly's mood is the most impetuous. The interference of off-site factors will inevitably affect the performance of the performance, even without media reporters. The impact of the continuous harassment on the actual shooting process cannot be predicted in advance.

This can be bad or good. In the final analysis, it depends on Lan Li.

...

At the end of May, New York can already capture the breath of early summer. The thin golden sunlight passes through the high-rise buildings and falls on the dark gray alleys. The fresh green spores tear apart the cold morning and climbed up the dark brown branches and branches. The warm breeze traverses quickly between the hem of the windbreaker and the hurried pace, quietly conveying the message that winter has completely gone.

Stepping on a skateboard under your feet, quickly walking through the brick alleys of Greenwich Village, blowing the hem of the white shirt, and occasionally catching the lively voices from the streets and alleys, and the whole world becomes vivid and bright. , As if you can catch the traces of sunlight flowing at your fingertips, even the cold water vapor and the bitter wind that are warm and cold are extremely cute.

After an emergency brake, Lan Li's footsteps stopped by the side of the road, raised his head and looked at the brick red buildings on both sides of the street, a trace of dazedness was revealed in the depths of his eyes:

Where is this?

Greenwich Village is undoubtedly the area that Lanly is most familiar with. Since coming to New York, he has lived here. Even if he is able to move now and find a better place in Long Island or the Upper East Side, he still chose to stay. Here, I have long been accustomed to brick by brick here.

But now in the streets of Greenwich Village, Lan Li feels so unfamiliar, as if he has never been here before. In fact, in the seemingly small Greenwich Village, there are many places that Renly has never explored. For example, today, he encountered a little problem——

he's lost.

He has been going around in this area for twenty minutes, but he still hasn't been able to find the destination. He often feels that he has found a place, but the next second he starts to express his self-doubt, as if he has never been here. It's the same here, everything is completely unfamiliar.

Today is the first day when Lan Li is learning drumming.

In order to shoot "Burst Drummer", Lan Li must learn beforehand, which is different from the soldier training of the "Pacific War" and the personal experience of "burying alive" or "gravity". This is really learning brand new knowledge, this is also For the first time in Ren Li's career-in order to make a movie, he must learn a new skill from scratch.

Although the film is an editing technique, even if the actor does not have a skill at all, the director can complete all the shooting work by editing and surrogate; but for Lanly, for the realistic effect, but also to invest in the role, and actually learn the skills It is a very necessary process. It does not need to be completely good at it, at least not to be ignorant.

I have often heard that an actor spends half a year shaping his body, learning riding, honing his skills, or even longer time in order to devote himself to a specific role, hoping to perfectly represent the role The true state of the work may not be a good deal ~lightnovelpub.net~ but it is the attitude of an actor.

What's more, "Burst Drummer" is a very special work. The drum set is the core of the whole work. Andrew and the drum set are completely integrated.

Now, Lan Li is ready to start learning the drum kit. What he asks of himself is that he not only needs to be able to get started, but he also needs to be good at it. Even if you are not proficient, you need to be at least 80 points.

This is not easy.

But Lan Li was about to force herself to squeeze herself, and went all out to see where her limit was.

Originally, time was the biggest issue. Before investing in the shooting of "Burst Drummer", Lan Li really didn't have much time to practice; but now it seems that the more important problem is that he can't find the training room and the teacher. , Let alone start practicing.

God, where is he now?

"Hey... Lan Li?"

Not far away, a hesitant call came, and Lan Li turned his head reflexively, and then saw a man with a messy face and beard.

A messy dirty braid droops down, plus a beard, which almost covers two-thirds of his cheeks. It is difficult to tell exactly whether he is twenty-five or forty years old; plus a dirty gray The T-shirt and dark blue overalls looked like after sleeping on a street corner last night, there was no time to wash, and then he was going to the nearby park to tidy up.

Lan Li showed a polite smile and nodded.

The man immediately understood and let out a shallow laugh, "It's me, Johnson-Clark (Johnson-), if I remember correctly, we should have an appointment today."
