The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 431: gain some lose some
Even if he said it out himself, Andy still thought it was crazy.
No matter whether people like it or not, whether accusations increase or not, and whether the ceremony is commercial or not, no one can deny that Oscar is the most watched prosperous world in the global film industry. Authority, recognition, attention, popularity, etc. are all Leading by far, overwhelming the crowd, deservedly the top spot.
The achievement of an Oscar-nominated actor with her debut work on the big screen alone is rare even in the long river of history. What's more, there is not only one "buried alive" now, and it was a big one at the Sundance Film Festival not long ago. The showy "Love Is Crazy" has also attracted much attention, coupled with the "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5" that has entered the early stage of publicity.
It is conceivable that when Lan Li appears on the red carpet, it will definitely become one of the focus of attention.
What Lanly said, Andy naturally understood. At the Oscars awards ceremony, star-studded, it is not easy for anyone to stand out from the crowd. Even the Winner of the Golden Man may be robbed of the limelight, not to mention the newcomer actors like Lan Li; but those who attend the Oscars The significance has never been a little golden man, at least for the broker.
The Oscar Awards Ceremony is not only the best place to expand contacts and socialize, it can almost be said to be one step to the sky, breaking barriers, and easily contacting most of the top big players in the industry; it is also the most exposed event in Hollywood, the world His eyes will be focused on this, how many newcomers or third-line actors have spent their entire lives working hard to be able to walk on the Oscar red carpet.
Therefore, since "Buried Alive" landed at the Toronto Film Festival, Andy has been planning, operating, and busy for several months. The ultimate goal is the Oscar award ceremony.
As a result, Andy's wish came true, and Lanly received his first Oscar nomination by virtue of "burying alive", which is a fantastic start for any agent.
Successively filming "anti-cancer me" and "transcendence", in fact, is to retreat to advance, avoiding homage and reputation, which has become the target of public criticism, but the ultimate goal is "forward". The Oscars ceremony is an important transit point on the way forward.
In the past period of time, Andy has been busy in Hollywood. Several other artists under his hand also have corresponding activities and arrangements for this year’s awards season, but Andy’s work focus is still involuntarily tilted towards Lan Li:
Spreading Lan Li’s positive remarks at major parties, contacting the news media for follow-up attention to "Buried Alive", maintaining close contact with the crew of the "Dragon Tattoo Girl", and representing Lan Li at the awards ceremony of some film critics associations...
As an agent, Andy is, to some extent, the spokesperson of Lanly. Even if Lan Li is not in Hollywood for the time being, things like "fame" can slowly accumulate, slowly settle, and slowly shape, just like a brand image.
All of Andy's work is to pave the way for the blue ceremony, waiting for the arrival of the Oscar, and then the blue ceremony can receive the results logically, not only for the award ceremony, but also for the Oscar night after the ceremony. Open the situation like a fish and lay a solid foundation for future development.
Andy has already planned. Through the Oscar stage, Ren Li’s popularity and exposure will be pushed to a new height, and then he will retreat from the rapids, throwing himself into the shooting of "anti-cancer me" and "detachment", showing Low-key and professional actor attitude; two months of silence, and then came the release time of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5", the exposure rate has risen again, and the filming experience of the past period of time will be released in the form of an interview Go out and deepen the positive impression of the audience...
It is no exaggeration to say that Oscar is the core of the core because its attention and exposure index are irreplaceable. What is the lack of Lan Li now? It is not the appreciation of the industry, nor the pursuit of the media, but the recognition of ordinary people. Then, Oscar is the best stage deservedly.
But now...
Andy knows that he has a hundred or a thousand reasons to persuade Lanly to attend the Oscars, and he also believes that Lanly will attend; but he only needs one reason to overturn all other reasons:
The status of Lan Li.
Andy is not sure what Lan Li’s overall condition is, his physical and mental conditions; Andy is also not sure what Lan Li’s current state of being too deep into the play is, and when that kind of crazy situation will erupt. But what Andy can be sure of is that Lanly's current situation is not good, or even bad.
As Lan Li said, attending the Oscars this year is actually to accompany the run. Socialization and exposure are the real purpose. This means that Lan Li has to face a lot of social activities. It is only a trivial matter to deal with the media, and to deal with senior actors who pretend to be lofty , The big-name filmmakers, and even the bigwigs of film production companies, this is the real problem.
Judging from the current situation of Lanly, or the situation of Lanly’s conversation just now, Lanly is like an untimely bomb. No one knows when it will explode, or who the muzzle will be aimed at. . Attending in this state might be self-defeating.
However, changing to another agent, in the face of such a situation, I would not care at all, which actor has no minor physical and mental problems. In Hollywood’s Vanity Fair, no one would give up for this "little small situation". Attending the Oscars ceremony.
After all, many actors can only win one Oscar nomination in their lifetime. For example, Adrian Brody has only received one nomination; even for top actors, the nominations for his career are very limited. Take Johnny Depp, for example, who only received three nominations in his entire career.
For most actors, every Oscar nomination is a rare and precious opportunity. It is very likely that after missing it, there will be no more; or to put it another way, the first nomination must be firmly grasped. To open up the situation for the second possible future potential. Therefore, when an opportunity comes, even if it is crawling, you must crawl over it.
To be precise, if it is another actor, Andy will not care. He is the same as other agents. Even if the actor is unwilling, he will use tough methods to force the other party to attend.
Regardless of the nomination, in an occasion like Oscar, even if there is not much social contribution, increasing the exposure rate is still a certainty. It can be said that attending the awards ceremony is a trade that will never lose money. Otherwise, why is everyone in Hollywood flocking toward Oscars? Even the concept of awards season is built around Oscars!
However, Lan Li is not someone else, nor is it any other actor.
When Andy visited the cottage and chose to sign with Lan Li, he was mentally prepared. He knew what kind of actor he had chosen.
There are more than 400,000 actors in Hollywood, but there are only tens of thousands of agents; and the number of new actors coming out every year is endless. They just want a potential actor who can be controlled at will, Andy’s The choices are endless. But he still chose Lanli, the most difficult one. Because Andy firmly believes that Lanly is special.
Now is such a special moment.
In order to be able to dedicate top-level performances, Lan Li is almost in a madness and a deep depression. He is devoting himself to the study of performance, completely integrating with the characters, this madness, this concentration, this Perseverance, even in the entire Hollywood can not find much.
Regarding the work "Anti-Cancer Me", Andy couldn't understand why a comedy movie would put Lan Li into such a situation. He still needs to have a good chat with Seth about this matter; but Andy can tell that the boundary between reality and illusion is no longer visible in Lan Li, even he can't tell whether he is Lan Li or Adam.
This feeling is really weird, as if the virtual characters in the movie screen came directly into real life, even more weird than the moving photos in "Harry Potter". But, it really happened in front of Andy's eyes.
Andy couldn't help but think of Heath Ledger. U U Reading www.uukanshu.cOM
In fact, before "Brokeback Mountain", Heath was already a promising new star by countless people, and Li/An merely provided a platform and then witnessed his rise. Later, when filming "Batman: The Dark Knight", Heath was immersed in the world of the Joker, too deep to extricate himself. Eventually died young.
From "Buried alive" to "Crazy Love", and then to "Anti-Cancer Me", Lan Li's dedication and enthusiasm for acting has really moved Andy. He is convinced that one day in the future, Renly will become a top superstar, just like Marlon Brando and Tom Hanks. But outside of the superstar halo, Renly will be an actor and a real Actors.
Andy firmly believes that this will not be the only nomination of Lan Li, even if Lan Li is only 21 years old, full of uncertain 21 years old, but in Andy’s view, it is precisely because Lan Li Li is only 21 years old, and the future is full of countless possibilities and hopes.
What's more, Andy doesn't want to see another star fall.
Missing the Oscar is bad, but it is not the end of the world; missing an actor like Renly, that is the real end of the world.
In the real society, people can be ambitious, but they can't be too greedy, and they can't be too blind. Only if they learn to accept the principle of "whatever gains must be lost" can they go on for a long time. Perhaps, after harvesting the two rare works of "Anti-Cancer Me" and "Transcendence", both characters are perfectly suitable for Lan Li's age group; then, the absence of Oscar is an unavoidable loss.
In a short period of time, Andy's inner balance had already made a choice. But... this is really crazy! Even though Andy has been rolling in Hollywood for nearly ten years, there are only a handful of such unthinkable situations.
