"Liam, marry me!"

"Josh, you're really, really, really cute!"

"Jennifer, I love you!"

……

The bustling and chirping shouts rolled and boiled on both sides of the red carpet on Hollywood Boulevard, and the sunset began to burn brightly, and the second half of the Oscars red carpet ceremony had just begun, and the highs/tides were wave after wave, and then the entrance of the Dolby Theater had completely exploded.

The deafening roar of the earthquake turned the orange sunset into a hot flame, which stretched out vigorously along the road in all directions of the city, like bright blood watering the dry land, giving this long-dormant land a new vitality.

The center of gravity of the entire red carpet tilted in the same direction.

Lan Li was no exception, his steps paused slightly, turned his eyes around, and then saw the shining iron triangle-

The two flower messengers protected a little red in the green bush in the center of the left and right, the hearty smile and cheerful atmosphere surged faintly between the three people, the lightness and excitement between the eyebrows and eyes rendered a touch of party noise, and the wanton youth and flamboyant vigor made Hollywood Avenue full of a youthful atmosphere.

This is what Oscar has been looking forward to.

The Academy wants the Oscars to maintain their authority, but at the same time, they can also be more grounded, from TV ratings to social network discussions, etc., to find a new position, in the 21st century Internet age, to continue the awards ceremony, they need more young people to participate and support:

Judging from the award nominations, Gen Y actors led by Lan Li Hall, Jennifer Lawrence, and Natalie Portman are on the rise, and from the perspective of award presenters, young idols such as Robert Pattinson and Chris Hemsworth have also appeared at the Oscars.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

The discussion of the Oscars has risen, but it has also been criticized by many people as the "Teen Choice Award" - "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" and other teen series of movies were the object of scoffing at the academy in the past, but now the academy has begun to degrade itself and accept the appearance of these idol actors with open arms, so what's next? Is "Transformers" also going to be on the table of elegance?

However, these are the problems that professionals within the industry need to worry about, and as for the actors, it is better to put down the shelves and enjoy the event.

Surrounded by the surging crowd, Lan Li's gaze gently swept over Jennifer. There was no deliberate pause, no deliberate evasion, no deliberate looking, no deliberate dodging, just a generous glance, unexpectedly, Lan Li and Jennifer's eyes met like this.

Lan Li was a little surprised.

Jennifer was also a little surprised.

There was a space of about thirty yards between the two people, and the crowd of people came and went on the red carpet, and occasionally the photographer or videographer could be seen walking by, flipping over and over the figures, and in the midst of countless visual distractions, their eyes were connected.

Jennifer was a little flustered. Although the distance was too far to capture the details of her expression clearly and accurately, the dodging eyes became intermittent, faintly revealing the panic.

Sensing Jennifer's uneasiness, the smile on Lan Li's lips rose slightly.

There didn't seem to be a clear turning point between them, and there was no formal in-depth conversation, and the friendship faded in the murmuring flow of time. In fact, this is life, only a small number of people can stay, but more people will leave, there is no right or wrong, in the process of moving forward made different choices, and then the trajectory of life extends in different directions, and those who stay around in the end are fate.

Jennifer had chosen to work with the Weinstein brothers, and Lan Li never thought there was anything wrong with that decision - it wasn't fair to ask all of his friends to refuse to work with the Weinstein brothers just because he didn't get along with them.

You know, in the North American awards season, the Weinstein brothers are a big mountain that can't be bypassed, if you cut off the possibility of cooperation with the Weinstein brothers, this is tantamount to tying up your own hands and feet, so how can the actor work be carried out? Although Lan Li will not choose this way, it does not mean that his friends cannot choose this way.

Lan Li and Jennifer don't talk to each other anymore, and the Weinstein brothers are certainly one of the necessary factors, but they are not the root cause. In the final analysis, it is just that they have different beliefs and perspectives on the path of life, and those differences and differences, with the passage of time and the growth of life, gradually become clear and obvious, and then gradually drift away.

When they meet again, they are not friends, but they are not enemies, and they are not strangers.

Lan Li smiled, gently churned to Jennifer, and then said with her mouth, "Good luck." Tonight, Jennifer was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress for "American Hustle."

Separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, but Lan Li's friendliness and politeness are still conveyed through her eyes and smile, Jennifer's expression obviously paused for a moment, a little stunned, and then blinked, she also nodded in response in a panic, but she didn't know what she was responding to and what she was passing.

When Jennifer came back to her senses and tried to find those eyes again, there was only a large crowd of people left in front of her, and in the turbulent and dense crowd, she could no longer see those clear and translucent eyes, and could only capture the side of a tall and straight figure, looming in the sea of people.

If life is only as it first seems.

"Jennifer?" Liam whispered to Jennifer as he noticed Jennifer's distraction.

Jennifer quickly came back to her senses, "I'm fine, I just saw a friend." "Friends. "Friends. Jennifer munched on the term to herself, repeating it over and over again, but savoring a hint of bitterness.

With a long exhale, Jennifer smiled again and waved her hands at the crowd of fans next to the red carpet.

……

Retracting his gaze, Lan Li's eyes touched Sandra Bullock not far away again - the gaze of the crowded area moved, and acquaintances could always be seen inadvertently, Sandra had a bright smile on her face, and said to Lan Li with her mouth, "They got what they wanted." ”

popularity and topicality.

That's what the Academy wanted, and now they're getting it. It's just that Sandra's slightly ridiculous expression always seems to hide more deep meanings, which only she can savor.

Lan Li couldn't help but think of Jennifer: they all got what they wanted.

Now Jennifer Lawrence, whose career is in full swing, has become the leader of the new generation of actresses - the second youngest Oscar actress in film history, and the "Hunger Games" and "X-Men" series have made her triple jump at the box office, and she is very hopeful of becoming the next member of the "20 million club".

Many people jokingly call Jennifer and Lan Li the two representatives of Generation Y actors, representing the current highest level of young generation of male and female actors.

The two young actors both became famous at a young age, both climbed to the peak of their careers early, both were Oscar darlings, both won awards and box office with both hands, and both reached the unparalleled top when they were young and vigorous, standing at the top of the pyramid.

The same is true for this year's awards season, with Lan Li being nominated for Best Actor for the fourth time in a row, while Jennifer is nominated for her third acting act in four years. Obviously, on the road of awards and box office, these two young people are not ready to step on the brakes, and they still continue to rush forward with the accelerator to the end.

Lan Li chose to fight alone, paranoid delving into acting, and sticking to her inner artistic dream, Jennifer chose to integrate into society, abide by the rules of the Hollywood game, and use the rules of the awards season to realize her dream. Although the methods and paths were different, they both succeeded in the end, and it can be said that they have the same goal.

As Sandra said: they all got what they wanted.

In fact, Lan Li admires Jennifer, because his choice is not replicable, or even advisable, and Jennifer's compliance with the rules can be replicated, and for most people, Jennifer's successful path is something that can be followed, which is the mainstream orientation of society. All roads lead to Rome, and no matter which road you take, you will have no problem if you can eventually reach Rome.

It's just that when he retracted his gaze, Lan Li couldn't help but think:

I don't know if Jennifer still remembers those jokes at the beginning? When filming "Love is Crazy", they once half-jokingly said that they must work together again in the future, start a face-to-face acting showdown, and strive to climb a new peak of acting skills in the collision of two people's rival scenes.

Time has passed, how many promises and promises, dreams and original intentions are left? If there is a chance, is Jennifer still willing to calm down and polish her acting skills, break through her own way of acting, and seek more? He is still standing in place, but the distance between them seems to be out of reach.

……

"Hey, that gentleman! that gentleman is in a trance!" Lan Li had just turned around, and a familiar figure walked in front of him, with a malicious smile on his dashing and handsome face, and strode over, "Although I don't want to admit it, but to be honest, I'm starting to be jealous of you now." ”

"Don't. Lan Li replied with a smile, "I don't want to experience the taste of the 'Titanic'." ”

The person who came was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio.

This year, he once again shined in the awards season with "The Wolf of Wall Street", but was squeezed out in the sprint stage and unfortunately missed the nomination for Best Actor, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Leonardo, who is tirelessly competing for the golden man.
