2075 officially returns
Although the awards season focuses on artistic names and has little to do with commercial films, the balance between business and art has always been an eternal theme, and commercial films such as "Titanic", "Lord of the Rings" series, and "Avatar" have all won Oscar nominations and have been successfully recognized by the academy.
Furthermore, there are not a few actors in history who have made it to the awards season and even been nominated for an Oscar with their outstanding performances in commercial films.
Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump, Tommy Lee Jones for "The Outlaw", Russell Crowe for "Gladiator", Tom Cruise for "Mr. Sweetheart", Sandra Bullock for "Weakness", Renee Zellweger for "BJ's Diary of a Bachelor", Kate Winslet for "Titanic", Johnny Depp for "Pirates of the Caribbean", Heath Ledger for "Batman: The Dark Knight", and so on.
To be precise, the definitions of "business" and "art" are already vague, and some art films have managed to hit the hearts and minds of audiences, such as "Apollo 13" or "Pirates of the Caribbean", which can also occupy a place in the awards season, and the actors' performances can also be recognized by the industry, which is why the Golden Globes created the musical comedy category, opening up to the entertainment nature of the film industry.
Despite this, it is not an easy task for an actor to achieve such a goal, and it can even be said that it is rare.
Not even Tom Hanks, even Jack Nicholson, even Daniel Day-Lewis, they have not been able to reach such heights, with the exception of Meryl Streep.
As long as Meryl stars in a production, her name will inevitably appear in the awards season, and it seems that when the academy judges don't know who to choose, just check Meryl, it is a decision that will not be wrong, which also makes Meryl extremely strong in the nomination stage, and continues to break the Oscar nomination record - so far there have been eighteen Oscar nominations, no one can match, even commercial films.
However, this glory is only enjoyed by Meryl, and all the other actors in the long history do not have such ability.
Now, it's Lan Li's turn?
After "Buried Alive", "Love Crazy", "Detachment" and "Gravity" won the Oscar nominations for Best Actor for four consecutive years, whether Lan Li can become the first actor in film history to be nominated for Oscar acting for the fifth consecutive year?
Of course, at this stage, it is only a matter of talking after dinner, and there are still nearly two months before the awards season really gets lively, and we can only make a judgment after the seeded players have appeared on the stage.
However, it is undeniable that including the two purely commercial films "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5" and "Edge of Tomorrow", Lan Li has truly delivered top-level performances in each work, even when Meryl Streep has missed, Lan Li has never -
Following "Love Crazy" and "Cancer-Fighting Me" in 2011, "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Folk" in 2013, in 2014, Lanli once again dedicated two high-level and high-quality works, further consolidating Lanli's strong reputation in the industry, and seems to be sprinting at full speed towards the height of creating history.
Even if it doesn't make history this year, it doesn't matter, after the ups and downs of the awards season at the beginning of the year, now Lanli has really opened up the second vein of Le Rendu and won a deep level of trust in the industry, it is undeniable that Lanli has indeed proved his talent through one work after another.
From that perspective, this year's awards season is really exciting.
So, what about the Blue Gift, which is the focus of discussion?
Everyone knows that Lan Li has returned to London, but the question is, what is the reason for Lan Li to return to London without a job or a trip?
If it is usually other actors, it is estimated that no one will be particularly curious, it may be a vacation, it may be a visit to friends, it may be a private matter, there are a lot of possibilities, there is no need to be too persistent, but as the focus of the world's attention, Lan Li's every move involves everyone's attention, not to mention, there are still people who remember that in March in the first half of the year, Lan Li disappeared for a period of time and then appeared in London, and no one knows the specific reason so far.
Is this trip to London related to the March operation? Does it involve more possibilities? This is worth paying attention to.
However, in recent times, all eyes have been focused on North America, and a series of film festivals such as Toronto, Telluride, and New York have kicked off the awards season, and even the paparazzi don't have much time to pay attention to Lan Li's every move, which also wins a precious respite for Lan Li - for the majority of netizens, this is a pity, but for Lan Li, this is lucky.
The only variable is: are the British paparazzi willing to let go of the blue ceremony?
When it comes to the madness and professionalism of the paparazzi, Britain is the world's leading region, and even the secrets of the royal family can't escape their siege and interception, and the tragedy of Princess Diana is the most terrible moment in the past two decades;
When Lan Li landed at London Heathrow International Airport, the paparazzi's eyes had already been projected, trying to dig out the secret of Lan Li, but unfortunately, the paparazzi were doomed to disappointment, not because Lan Li had seen through their whereabouts, but because Lan Li was not prepared to hide his whereabouts at all-
Although it is not high-profile, Lan Li did not hide or hide it, and appeared in everyone's field of vision in such a generous manner, which made the paparazzi unable to find a sense of accomplishment at all, and always felt that they were tricked by Lan Li. Of course, the paparazzi still won't let go of Lan Li easily, but without the feeling of a cat-and-mouse game, the paparazzi's work has become much more boring and boring, and they are like ...... Babysitter General:
The nanny who accompanied Lan Li all the way was not much different from those security guards in black suits, and she couldn't even raise the speed. It's really frustrating.
So, the paparazzi pressed the shutter towards Lan Li's car in a way of venting their anger, and the flash light was like a silver waterfall to vent majestically, trying to make Lan Li feel their dissatisfaction and depression, and continued to use the flash to show their sense of existence, reminding Lan Li that "this is not an outing".
Philip Demba glanced at Lan Li through the rearview mirror, and then he could see a light smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth, looking out the window with interest, his eyes flashing slightly, like a curious baby, studying the actions of those paparazzi, not only not irritated or angry, but also revealing a little comfort.
It can be seen that Lan Li's mood is very good, and he does not look dull at all because of returning to London, and even with it, a smile appeared in Philip's eyes, "Young Master Lan Li, do you need me to get rid of them?"
"Oh, no. They're just trying to prove their presence, aren't they? Lan Li said with a smile, pausing for a moment, and then he continued, "What's more, I'm still looking forward to their help in the next period of time." ”
Now that it has been decided to blow the horn of a counter-offensive, Lan Li is ready to use his methods to start this battle.
He knows that the paparazzi can't let him go easily, this time back in London, his every move will inevitably be bathed in the spotlight, to a certain extent, just like the British royal family, the wind and grass may become the tabloid headlines - "The Sun" will never be missed, since it can't be dodged, then it's better to make full use of it, everything is a double-edged sword, it can become a sharp blade to hurt yourself, and it can also become a weapon to attack your opponent.
Philip looked at Lan Li, who said the offensive words lightly, and his eyes couldn't help but flash slightly, "Don't hurt yourself." ”
This is already very out of line, in the past, Philip would never have been able to speak like this, Lan Li couldn't help but be startled, and said with a smile, "I'm not used to it now." A teasing sentence made the corners of Philip's mouth relax slightly, but he still didn't laugh after all.
"Is everything going well?" Lan Li asked endlessly, after that meeting in New Orleans, Lan Li and Philip had not been in contact with each other, and he didn't know what happened between Philip and George and Elizabeth, but he knew the final result - Philip left Hall's house.
Philip didn't explain too much, just nodded his head in affirmation, and then changed the subject, "Coming to London from California, are you still comfortable with the weather?"
At this time, it is only the end of September, Los Angeles is still enjoying the splendor and heat of the summer sun, but London can already feel the coolness and coolness of early autumn, and the gray sky and cool light rain are also in memory, and it seems that they have never changed.
With his eyes still fixed on the window, Lan Li chuckled, "There's nothing wrong with the weather, but I'm still a little unaccustomed to such a warm treatment." ”
Philip's eyes also followed Lan Li's words and projected to the side, and then you could see the paparazzi frantically pressing the shutter, the silver flash was slightly dazzling, and after a moment of silence, Philip also asked a rare question, "Can they shoot something?"
Lan Li paused for a moment and thought seriously, "Hmm...... I don't think so. I had a discussion with a journalist about this before, and he said that there may be thousands of photos taken at a time, but the final number of shots may be one or two, and the production rate is very low. They have even developed a professional habit of pressing the shutter regardless of the ground, and the first reaction is to use the shutter to record any situation. So, I guess, they're doing it right now. ”
Obviously it was just a small question, but Lan Li replied seriously as if he was discussing the "global warming effect".
