The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 458: Riptide Retreat
This year's Oscars ceremony, the biggest hot topic is not the "king's speech" and "social network" duel, but the rise of the Y generation.
This is not just a duel between two films, but also a change and alternation of the entire film industry. The impact on the industry is all aspects, and everyone is curious, looking forward to, and watching.
Now the answer is finally revealed, Natalie Portman, the first Goldman winner of the y generation, climbed to the top and completed the coronation.
In the current Hollywood, Generation X is the main pillar, but its momentum is far less than that of the baby boomers. The achievements in both business and art are incomparable. The film market can still be said to be full of flowers, but it can also be said to be in a melee. There have never been such powerful stars as Will Smith, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Sean Penn. Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck still have a long way to go.
Now, Generation Y is catching up again. Not only has it made a breakthrough in the box office, but it has also successfully stepped onto the Oscar stage and has a strong momentum of grabbing power.
This is a good thing for the film industry.
The transition between the old and the new is always full of pain and struggle, but it must begin after all. Of course, people have regretted Annette Benin’s failure again, but in comparison, Natalie’s victory also represents the rise of the new generation. This iconic milestone has an impact on the entire industry. Obviously it is even greater.
The rise of the younger generation is the main theme throughout this year’s awards season. When the Oscars announced the nomination list, the overall weakness of the Y generation attracted countless media fire. The overall momentum of public opinion is accusing the college of conservative, old, stubborn and pedantic, and rejects Accepting the new generation means that the times will not be able to move on.
Now, with Natalie's ascent to the top, all the doubts, complaints, and accusations have disappeared, and the moon is seen through the clouds. In an instant, the voice of praise swarmed, even the negative news that shrouded Natalie's head. The clouds also gradually dissipated, and in a trance, people seemed to suffer from amnesia——
Above this year's Oscars, on the one hand, the conservatives represented by "The King's Speech" won the final victory; on the other hand, the new generation represented by Natalie has seized the space. The academy has found a balance between conservation and innovation. Although it is only a small breakthrough, it is enough to give people hope even if it is just a breakthrough for the best actress.
Under the efforts of the major media, Natalie's victory has also become the driving force to push the wheel of history forward. In comparison, the little negative impact of the "double door" is insignificant.
In addition to "The King's Speech" and Natalie, there were countless focal points at the awards ceremony that night:
The disaster hosts of James Franco and Anne Hathaway ushered in ridicule and ridicule, even more "hot" than Golden Globe's Ricky Gervais; Melissa Leo was talking In the award-winning speech, he uttered his swear words, which triggered a live broadcast crisis; on the red carpet, Cate Blanchett's stunning audience, Javier Baden and Penelope Cruz officially announced their love affair...
Undoubtedly, the Oscar is the top annual event in the film industry. No one can compare it. After the award ceremony ended, the reports of the major media were colorful, blooming, and lively, not to mention that there will be a series of topics after the Oscar. It's night, and the noise will continue for at least three days, and it won't settle down in a short time.
Amidst this uproar, everyone seems to have forgotten Lan Li's absence. This is not unexpected. More precisely, this is completely expected.
Even if Woody Allen is absent year after year, the major media will not report it in big books, let alone an unknown person like Lan Li. Although Renly announced his absence at the last moment before the awards ceremony, which triggered heated discussions, after the awards ceremony, Renly was forgotten in this way-above the star-studded Oscars, even if he attended, he might be ignored. , Let alone absent?
It seems that everyone has forgotten that Lanly won the first nomination by stepping on the shoulders of James Franco at the last moment; also forgot that the independent work "Buried Alive" broke out during the difficult award season; even more forgotten. Lan Li devoted himself fully to the shooting of his new work, so that his physical and mental conditions occurred, and even suffered slander and slander from the media.
Just one day ago, people were still criticizing the media, people were still marveling at Lan Li, and people were still absent from the show, but now, Lan Li has become a yellow flower of tomorrow.
Gradually, the Oscars ended, the excitement dissipated, Hollywood returned to calm, and the "Anti-Cancer Me" crew also returned to calm. The reporters who were besieged at the entrance of the studio were no longer in sight. The empty streets were even worse. The Sahara Desert is still desolate. It's like, "Pacific War", "Buried alive", and "Crazy Love" successively brought the limelight, disappearing like a bubble, leaving no trace.
This is Hollywood, this is Vanity Fair, this is real society. The ebb and flow is just a matter of blinking an eye.
But from another perspective, Andy Rogers' intentions have been achieved.
Since the premiere of "Pacific War", Lanly has appeared in front of the public for less than a year, and the speed of its rise is unimaginable, especially the two works "Buried Alive" and "Love Crazy". His strong performance, first came the Emmy Awards, then the Golden Globes, and then the Oscars. Renly's upward momentum is almost unstoppable.
But at the same time, the future troubles of unstable foundation also accompany. Lanly is like a lively gun target. Negative emotions such as jealousy, contempt, disdain, resentment, ostracism, and suspicion are everywhere. Encirclement and suppression, like a poisonous snake, quietly waiting for the opportunity to attack. The hype surrounding the "anti-cancer me" crew is the most direct manifestation.
If you change an actor, or change the situation or the crew, the so-called "hype" is nothing at all, let alone media attention, netizens crusade, or even waves. Here is Hollywood with all the hype, and there is only a thin line between publicity and hype. But in fact, what Lan Li is facing is the turbulent waves of the mountains and the tsunami, which is almost impossible to resist.
Faced with such a situation, Andy has been thinking about solutions.
Andy can choose to fight back head-on, head-on, and fight back all doubts with better works, just like Tom Cruise back then.
The emergence of "High Aspirations" made Tom an instant hit and was also questioned. The two works of "Rain Man" and "Born on July 4th" allowed him to make a breakthrough in the Oscars. On the cusp of the storm, the fans’ pursuit and the critics’ tricks flew together, fully interpreting the "popular red right and wrong" incisively and vividly.
Later, starting from "Yihai Xiongfeng" in 1992, to "Mr. Sweetheart" in 1996, Tom's five consecutive works exceeded 100 million in North American box office. In the 1990s, 100 million US dollars was synonymous with top box office, thus opening In the true peak and heyday, all the negative doubts were closed, and the promotion from the first-line star to the top super star was completed.
But this method is not necessarily suitable for Lanli. As a result, Lan Li is still a newcomer now, even if "Speed and Excitement/Love 5" got a big box office afterwards, the credit is also to Van Diesel and Paul Walker. It is very difficult to open the situation with a commercial film.
Secondly, the risk is too great. Every subsequent work must be successful, whether it is a work of art or a commercial film, and this pressure accumulates gradually. Before the quantitative change causes the qualitative change, there is a crisis of overwhelming and exclusion All will rise in layers. Tom Cruise used five works to break the shackles and complete the conversion, but everyone's situation is different. The blue gift may need more or less, but before the change , A wrong step, you lose every game.
Thirdly, Lan Li is an actor, and should be just an actor. This is Andy's positioning of Lan Li.
Perhaps, in the future, Lanly can become a top star in the first-hand box office and first-hand awards, just like Tom Hanks, but at least not now ~lightnovelpub.net~ The foundation of Lanli is not stable at the moment, not to mention the extravagant box office expectations. From a performance perspective, the three works of "Pacific War", "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love" are not enough. Lan Li needs more excellent answers to prove himself and withstand the escalation test of film critics.
Andy is ambitious, but not greedy. So he chose to follow the trend and retreat bravely.
First, I focused on the filming of "The Anti-Cancer Me", then I missed the Oscar, and then gave up the "Girl with Dragon Tattoo" and chose to play "Transcendence". Abandoning the plan to chase after victory, giving up the attention of the storm, giving up the momentum of the situation, down-to-earth, concentrating on one's own profession, concentrating on acting, concentrating on roles, concentrating on works, this kind of retreat and retreat , Finally the crisis was temporarily lifted.
After the Oscars ended, although it was said that Lanly was not able to win more attention, in the reports of major media, Lanly was almost invisible and completely ignored. The aura of focusing on him seemed to disappear overnight. But at the same time, negative news dissipated together, especially Oscar’s empty-handed return, which defeated all attacks, and even the discussions and doubts about Lan Li on the Internet were temporarily calmed down.
This also means that Lan Li can finally enjoy a quiet time.
Before the official release of "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5", Lan Li can leave the focus of the flash and devote himself to the shooting of the two works "Anti-Cancer Me" and "Transcendence", just like the original filming. "Buried alive" is the same as "Love is crazy". For Lan Li, this is a good thing; for Andy, this is a blessing.
Actor, focusing on performance, this is the impression Andy hopes people will leave on Lan Li. Judging from the "Seattle Post" special report, Andy's strategy has succeeded.
