The impact and shock of the bald blue salute was unparalleled, but as time went on, Rooney began to get used to it—at least visually.

But now, deeper reflection has begun to surge, how did this bald head come about, and what is the performance story hidden behind this shape? In the past period, Lan Li has sacrificed a lot for the work "I Fight Cancer", and even caused physical health problems, which is well known, so what does today's performance mean?

Suddenly, Rooney was a little curious, what would it be like to play against Lan Li? She had seen "Buried Alive", and had heard of "Love is Crazy", and tonight she witnessed the change in Lan Li's temperament, which reminded her of the rumors from the previous time - Lan Li was the male protagonist candidate of "The Female with the Dragon Tattoo". If both of them can get the role......

Oscar's troubles and trivialities gradually dissipated, and were replaced by the work "I Fight Cancer", as well as Lan Li's performance, and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and ...... Excited emotions and momentary thoughts fluctuated, fleeting, Rooney pouted and pointed in a direction, "If you don't know where to start, I think this will be a good choice." ”

Lan Li followed Rooney's line of sight, and then saw the cigarette in the corner of his mouth - the cigarette that was half torn, the tobacco leaves fell scattered, and it was not lit, so he held it to his mouth, Lan Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and pulled the corners of his mouth.

However, before the smile could fully bloom, he immediately calmed down, raised his hand and took the cigarette off, "It's just ......" Lan Li said, but halfway through the words, he was stunned, and his vision on the cigarette butt gradually blurred, and he fell into his own thoughts.

Thinking back to the scene just now, recalling the performance just now, recalling Adam just now, his head was cold, which made people very uncomfortable, he couldn't control himself, raised his head and touched his hairy and bare head again. The bitterness, sourness, and spiciness, like ripples on the surface of a calm lake, spread gently.

In the middle of the conversation, there was a sudden silence, but Rooney did not interrupt in a hurry, but quietly waited for the next step.

"Do you know the seeds?" Lan Li said as she turned her head to look at Rooney.

Does the seed have anything to do with cigarettes? Or does it have anything to do with acting? Or does it have something to do with his work this time? Lan Li's rhythm of speech was really a little jumpy, and Rooney couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what this sentence meant, but Lan Li still said to himself as if he didn't notice it.

"When the seed is planted, it swells slowly, then germinates, and then breaks through the soil. That powerful force, which emerges from the inside of the body, is full of vitality, absorbs the nutrients of the soil, and then breaks through all obstacles and grows vigorously. Everyone is looking forward to blossoming and bearing fruit. ”

Lan Li's voice was unhurried, like a whisper from eternity, it didn't sound like a discussion of performance at all, more like a documentary commentary on the Discovery Channel, but he didn't notice his abnormality. For today's scene, for the performance of the method and the experiential school, Lan Li is also exploring and researching, even himself, is full of confusion.

As he spoke, Lan Li paused and fell into his own thoughts again, as if he was talking to himself, "But for the soil, it is cruel pain, little by little it becomes decadent and aging, and the slow process is a kind of torment, as if it is being crushed from the bones to the soul. What's even more terrifying is that no one knows whether the seeds bred in this soil are poison or grain and grass. ”

Rooney didn't know what Lan Li was talking about, she didn't have a clue, she didn't know what kind of movie "I Fought Cancer" was, she didn't know what kind of scene Lan Li filmed today, she didn't know what kind of situation Lan Li had experienced, and suddenly looked at Lan Li like Nietzsche, saying a lot of esoteric philosophical theories, she was completely confused.

But surprisingly, Rooney empathizes.

Rooney was born into a well-known family, her maternal grandfather was the owner of the NFL's New York Giants, her grandfather was the founder of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, she was born with a golden spoon, and not only that, but thanks to the family's business and sports, the family is open to children getting involved in the entertainment industry - her sister Kate entered Hollywood at the age of sixteen, and she herself became an actress at the age of 20.

Whether Kate and Rooney are willing to admit it or not, their last name "Mara" and the hidden business empire behind them are destined to be treated differently - but not the positive kind, and people always take it for granted that they are just here to play tickets, like the Olsen sisters or the Kardashian sisters.

Rooney's desire to become a good actor, even a great actor, is what she has been striving for, she stubbornly refused help from her family, relying on her own ability, honing her acting skills in the field of independent film, trying to carve out a world, but since starring in her first film work in 2005, her efforts have never been recognized.

She can often only play small roles in low-level horror movies, or supporting roles in low-level comedies, and finally got David Fincher's appreciation and played important roles in "social networks", but all the brilliance of the whole movie was stolen by the two male leads, and she couldn't even mix up a familiar face.

This made her extremely frustrated, and she began to wonder if she had no acting talent, whether she was just an ordinary person with the dream of being an actress, and even whether the roles she played before were won by her family with the help of the connections behind her? All of this, she began to question.

So much so that at tonight's Oscars, the negative emotions were completely detonated, and sitting at the Kodak Theater, she was completely at a loss and couldn't find any sense of belonging at all.

But at this moment, looking at Lan Li in front of her, Rooney suddenly realized.

The journey of chasing dreams is never simple, even full of thorns and dangers, this is not an inspirational story of "how can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain", in real life, many times, even if you have experienced wind and rain, you may not be able to see a rainbow. It's like giving birth to a seed, waiting to blossom and bear fruit, depleting all the nutrients of the soil, but there is no way to know whether the final fruit will be grain or poison.

If you persist, you may not be able to win, but if you give up, you will definitely fail. So, is it smart or stupid to keep sticking to it?

Rooney's gaze fell on Lan Li's bald head again, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, but this time she no longer felt joy and humor, but admiration and admiration, "Why didn't I know, you still have French blood?"

The French love to talk about philosophy, all the time, even when they talk about love, it is inseparable from philosophy, which is part of their blood and genes. Lan Li's esoteric speech just now reminded Rooney of the French, and she couldn't help but joke.

"Shakespeare is sad. Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and said a sentence easily, which means that what he just said was not philosophy, but poetry.

Rooney paused, couldn't help but smile, a shallow smile gleamed in those bright and colorful eyes, and instead of continuing to joke, he returned to the topic just now, "You know what? ”

"Because, no matter whether the seed is good or bad after it bears fruit, the soil will leave a memory, turn those positive and negative influences into nutrients, and then reshape itself. Rooney suddenly found that in fact, Lan Li's words just now were not so profound, and those imagery metaphors became vivid.

"Every moment we experience, positive, negative, happy, painful, beautiful, ugly, will eventually become a part of ourselves and achieve a unique self. ”

After saying this, Rooney fell silent, and thoughts began to surge in her head. This is not only a response to Lan Li, but also my own perception. After the words were spoken, she couldn't help but savor them herself.

Lan Li was a little sluggish, feeling the slightest numbness flowing in her blood.

What he just said was about cancer, and countless other diseases. It's not just Adam in the movie, it's not just Will in life, it's the kids at Mount Sinai Hospital. The pain is like drowning, filling the lungs little by little, swelling, scalding, tearing, exhausting all life, giving birth to the root of death, and the day the seed breaks through the ground, life will come to an end.

Life can breed hope, but it can also breed despair.

But Rooney's words are about acting, about dreams, about perseverance, and about life.

People are always like this, expecting success, all the attention is on the result, but ignoring the path to success, which is a narrow alley full of fragments of failure. In many cases, the process is more important than the result, and the momentary joy of the moment of success cannot be compared to the wonderful and moving scenery along the way.

Reincarnated as a human being, Lan Li understands this deeply.

Therefore, he is willing to lie in the coffin and suffer in order to explore the performance; he is willing to play "Love Crazy" with a salary of 20,000 US dollars in order to explore his acting skills; he is willing to give up the opportunity to attend the Oscars in order to study the role; in the same way, he will not neglect his life for the sake of acting, he will not forget the other people around him for the sake of his dreams, and he will not forget the excitement of the process for the sake of the beauty of the end.

Because he knows that on the road of life, every moment, every moment is precious and unique. The performances are the same, as are the rock climbing, the surfing.

Rooney raised her head and met Lan Li's gaze, without too many words, the starlight and boundless silence in the sky made the corners of each other's mouths outline a similar arc.

The happiest thing in Yu Boya's life was that he met Zhong Ziqi.
