The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 2289: Boring game
Obviously, Alison is not the only one worried about the Weinstein brothers.
Felicity's expression was a little awkward, and she was not sure how she should respond. Such a scene was really not what she was good at.
Fortunately, Lanly interrupted in time to save Felicity in desperation, "I don’t want to break my perfect image. Imagine violence in the backstage of the Hilton Hotel after the awards ceremony is over? My publicist should have a headache. So it’s better for me not to show up."
"Haha!" Even Max couldn't help but applaud Lan Li's self-deprecation.
"No, no, I will choose Lanly." Alan Tudyk found his own voice, although he was still coughing, "I mean, I watched that movie, and one of them is still doing it now. Nightmare. This is why I didn’t drink coffee just now. To be honest, I’m afraid of Renli.”
Group laugh!
Allen's half-truth and half-false words made people unable to tell what was going on, but he continued to say seriously, "I'm serious, please, everyone, Renly's performance cannot be surpassed. One performance that gave me such a long aftertaste was Daniel Day Lewis in "The Blood Is Coming". You look at his eyes and feel scared. The same is true now. I don't think anyone can surpass Lan Li this year. "
Daniel Day Lewis? This is not a random comparison duel, and it can even be called the highest benchmark in the industry. Allen's words caused more waves in the lounge-but I don't know whether he is complimenting or ridiculing. These words are really warm. /Ambiguous.
"Very well, I guess it's time." Lan Li took a sentence just right, with a calm and confident appearance, as if to say: Now it is time to "upgrade" the praise of him to the level of Daniel Day Lewis. The black humor was immediately revealed between the lines of the jokes.
The delicate atmosphere was immediately broken, all eyes were refocused on Lan Li, laughter one after another, and the lounge was so lively.
"Are you really not worried about losing this year's opportunity completely because of your absence?" The question was Max. It seemed a bit unexpected. Everyone looked at him one after another. I thought he was more stable. Will care about these Hollywood awards. He shrugged slightly, "I thought I didn't care, but I had won the opportunity a few years ago, and when I finally missed it, my heart was still a little low. I mean, even though the award is full of interference from various factors, But after all, it comes from peers and industry recognition, which is still very rare, isn't it?"
Everyone faintly showed approval eyes.
What Max said should be the “hunting” in 2012. This Danish work won him the Cannes actor, and he also gained fame during the awards season at the end of the year. It has won the most prizes at the European Film Festival, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards and other important towns. Nominated for a good actor, Max’s solid and delicate performance has received countless praises, and he is very hopeful of being nominated for Oscar; but later, because of the lack of public relations power of the college, Max regretfully passed the nomination, and the film was nominated one after another. Nominated for the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
It is indeed extremely difficult to be shortlisted for Oscars with performances in foreign languages.
For Max, this could have been a turning point in his career-he could gain more exposure, raise his awareness to a higher level, and then win more performance opportunities, and even choose himself in Hollywood Opportunity for the role, but he still missed it after all.
Even Lan Li is no exception. An Emmy Award trophy that year has become an important turning point in his entire career that cannot be ignored.
Just like the balance between business and art, when awards become commercialized due to the award season, the relationship between the film industry and awards is no longer pure, so the choice of actors becomes more complicated. Especially for actors with weak "commercial attributes" such as Max, Mendelson and Felicity, how should they deal with their relationship with the awards season work?
This is a brand new subject. Obviously, Lanli is now the most authoritative wooden board in the entire industry.
But the problem is that Lanly himself can't give the correct formula-or in other words, there is no correct formula in the first place.
Lan Li could perceive the focus that fell on him, the atmosphere in the lounge was unknowingly becoming serious, and things were a bit off track.
Lan Li did not continue to joke, but considered his own words, "Of course, recognition from peers is undoubtedly very rare and very important. Every artist is eager to find an appreciation that can understand and recognize himself. Don’t you? We are no exception."
"But if we neglect ourselves for the sake of appreciation and recognition, or even give up art itself, how can we strive for that understanding? Where should our identity as artists rest? Art and recognition, It’s my personal point of view to recognize art first.
Lan Li would not say that he "discarded as he did" to the awards. After all, he could not be as detached as Woody Allen. He also wanted to be recognized, but he refused to give up his pursuit of acting at the level of recognition for those recognitions. This is also the reason why he has never been cold about college public relations.
"If those associations are willing to present awards to me, I will accept it with gratitude; but if I regret to miss it, I will also accept the result with a smile." Lan Li replied in the simplest but most calm manner.
The actors in the lounge looked different. Obviously, not everyone can agree with Ranley's choice: it is like whether humans adapt to the environment or the environment adapts to humans. Everyone has his own insights, which in turn affects his own values and world outlook, and so on.
Lan Li didn't mean to instill his own ideas into everyone. After answering Max's confusion sincerely, his tone relaxed again, "Wait, why did the focus shift to me? I thought , We are in London now, and what happens on the other side of the Atlantic shouldn’t matter much.”
A light ridicule instantly resolved the over-focused silence in the lounge, and everyone came back to their senses, their expressions relaxed again.
"Because you were obviously the most popular result but you were absent from the awards ceremony." Wen Jiang also said in a complaint, "I think you will regret not attending the Golden Globe Awards. I think the Foreign Correspondents Association will definitely award the awards this year. Give you."
"No, no, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association is very, very cunning. They have an unwritten rule that awards will not be awarded to absentees." Allen shook his head repeatedly, and then many people made exclamations, and he nodded again. To confirm, "Yes, yes, you heard it right, it is true, this matter has also caused countless controversies in Hollywood."
Because this also means that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had already finalized the list of winners, and as a result one of the winners was absent, and then they can modify the list of winners and award the award to another guest present?
This is the power of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. They still hope that all nominees can attend. The audience ratings and topical popularity are what the Golden Globes have been pursuing; but this goes against the original intention of the awards ceremony, just like kidnapping the nominees with awards. They are generally required to attend.
This incident is not a secret in the Hollywood industry. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association even issued an official statement expressing a similar meaning, which caused an uproar. Although they later withdrew the statement, the hidden tricks could not be better understood. This is also the reason why the reputation of the Golden Globes in Hollywood is always full of controversy-of course, now Hollywood stars do not really take the Golden Globes seriously, it is completely regarded as Hollywood's annual Starlight Convention, just like the Youth Choice Award. , But this is an adult choice award.
"So, you mean, even though they originally planned to award the award to Lan Li, they have now cancelled it?" Wen-Jiang still couldn't believe this fact.
Allen spread his hands.
Even Mendelson couldn’t help shaking his head, “No, no, it’s impossible. Do they know what they’re doing? It’s not fair to Renly, it’s not fair to other nominated actors. Awards should be given to performance. The best actor, isn't it?"
This should have been the original intention of the awards ceremony; but interpersonal and social relations have never been so simple, and after the birth of the awards season concept involves interests, and things are more complicated.
Mendelson's words silenced everyone. They couldn't refute, but they couldn't refute. So, how should they respond?
"I don't think it's possible." Tony said, "Otherwise we bet. I think that the Golden Globe will make an exception this year and award the prize to Lan Li."
"What?" This was Lan Li's voice.
"I agree with ~lightnovelpub.net~ Max also expressed his position.
Lan Li waved his hands dumbfoundedly, "Everyone, hey, everybody! Don't be like this, things shouldn't be going this way! Please don't gamble, okay? It's illegal."
Lan Li hadn't foreseen the development of things at all. As far as he was concerned, he didn't like this kind of gambling, and he didn't like being the focus of the gambling.
But now the situation is faintly out of control. This is about the blue gift, but not just about the blue gift-it's more about the whole awards season. Everyone is included. No one can stay out of it, even Tony and Wen-Jiang, who are preparing to enter Hollywood, are no exception.
"No, I don't think so." Wen-Jiang sees more thoroughly than anyone, because of the environment he is in, he clearly knows the development of things, although he does not want to believe that the same thing will happen in Hollywood, but serious Think about it. Behind Hollywood is Wall Street, Wall Street where interests are paramount, so what else is impossible? In the end, the two lands on the other side of the Pacific reached the same goal by different routes.
