1720 Meets again

"Hey, hey, you guys, aren't you curious about what other media outlets are saying?" Damien's gaze quickly scanned back and forth between Ranley and Simmons, looking like a child hungry for attention and approval.

After Lan Li's quip, Simmons's mood gradually relaxed, and he took the initiative to say, "I just peeked twice, 'Hollywood Reporter' and 'Variety' also seem to be full marks, and other media haven't seen it for the time being, what, there are any fresh comments, do we need to know?"

Just now, Simmons quietly disguised his flipping through the comments, trying to pretend that he didn't care, but Lan Li's calmness and composure infected his emotions and made him become open-minded: there is no shame in paying attention to the feedback on his work. So, Simmons also generously joined the discussion.

After the premiere of "Burst Drummer", there was a frenzy of praise in Park City, with both Damien and Simmons excited, excited and joyful, eager to hear all the media comments and opinions, and even feedback on social media platforms.

In the ocean of information in the Internet age, it takes a long and arduous process to learn how to sift through information and how to treat comments correctly. Lan Li is now out of school, but Damien and Simmons are just getting started.

"Of course, of course!" Damien's eyes widened, and he eagerly began to flip through them, "And the LA Times commentary, wait, I remember I just saw it, huh, why not? Give me a little time, uh...... Here, here, here! Chazelle's talent for controlling the pace of the film with drums and melody makes the viewing process a ......"

Damien was reading a summary of the media review in a low voice.

Like the three major European film festivals, the Sundance Film Festival has also set up its own official house book, which collects the comments and feedback from the major media as a reference for the audience to browse the festival, but the official house book only publishes a short summary of the commentary, and the specific and detailed reviews need to be logged on to the corresponding media website or physical newspapers and magazines to read the full version.

"I didn't know, it turned out that there was a book club here. An oily and smooth voice intervened in the conversation of Lan Li and the three of them, and there was no need to look up, the ridicule and ridicule had already been conveyed through the words, and the spikes hidden in it were really uncomfortable.

Damien's voice gradually lowered, and when he raised his head, he saw the two brothers Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein standing in front of him, and he was slightly stunned, and Damien's expression became stiff.

The Weinstein brothers are definitely the top of the Hollywood pyramid, and their ability to call the wind and rain can be called a soldier, and it is no exaggeration to say that they can easily crush Damion with just one finger - Simmons is no exception, and it is no trouble to cut off the career prospects of Damion and Simmons, and turn around and leave the names of two nobodies behind.

Now, Damien directly felt the full malice from Harvey, and his face couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Even the battle-hardened Simmons was a little nervous - a figure of the Weinstein brothers was not something Simmons usually had access to, even if he met on a social occasion such as the Golden Globe Awards or the Oscars, he was not qualified to come forward to say hello, and suddenly felt the attack from Harvey, Simmons was at a loss.

The only thing that could keep his composure was Lan Li, who still maintained an elegant and calm posture, smiling lightly, and then responded unhurriedly, "I don't know, Mr. Weinstein is also interested in the book club." ”

The seemingly bland response is actually complaining that Harvey usually doesn't read at all. There was no flinch or timidity in the attack of the needle, and there was a hint of condescending disdain in the understatement reaction, and the posture of the superior was shown in the gestures.

At the beginning, Lan Li and Harvey did not have the slightest stage fright in the first meeting at Sundance, and now, now that it is not what it used to be, Lan Li has no need to back down. When Lan Li really put on the posture of a hereditary aristocracy, the sense of class superiority in his bones can be very hurtful or very domineering, and it makes people powerless to resist.

Even Harvey Weinstein is no exception.

Harvey can capture the disdain and disdain in Lan Li's words, not the kind of superficial rolling of eyes or cynicism, but contempt from the bones, not even too hard, inadvertently revealing a touch of lightness and lightness, which makes him have the illusion that he is an ant, more aggrieved and depressed than angry.

He hated the feeling.

"In terms of eloquence, there is no one in Hollywood who can compare to His Excellency Ranley Hall, but in many cases, it is only by eloquence, and is this true of all the nobles now?" said Harvey Pi with a smile, and his straight words did not hide his provocation.

In terms of the number of paragraphs in social situations, Lan Li naturally would not be provoked so easily, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a light smile flowed from the bottom of his eyes, "So I guess Mr. Weinstein must be very good at acting in person." ”

What does it mean literally? Or does it imply something? "Action" is a neutral word in itself, but hidden behind the discourse, the subtext becomes rich and full of infinite possibilities.

Harvey's face couldn't help but change slightly, his already small eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous aura, and even his tone became stiff and sharp, "What are you hinting at?"

"I wonder if Mr. Weinstein has ever heard of the colloquial expression 'being a thief with a weak heart.'" The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Lan Li was still unhurried, he knew how to provoke his opponent, and he also knew how to take the initiative.

Harvey didn't speak, just squinted his eyes, looked Lan Li up and down, and in just one breath, the thoughts in his mind had already tumbled back and forth several times, and then said slowly, "Does that mean that the speaker needs to be more careful? ”

The threat between the lines couldn't be clearer, and Damien and Simmons, who were sitting next to them, were a little uneasy, like pins and needles.

"Isn't that what the Oscars are all about?"

The answerer was not Lan Li, but the voice from the side, everyone cast their eyes, wearing a light gray checked suit, with a smoky gray square scarf and a charcoal gray tie, the seemingly low-key but flamboyant outfit, the three-dimensional outline of the facial features is more and more reflected, and in an instant you can feel the aura of the young master who is sloppy, confident and wanton, proud and elegant, no need for extra introduction, it is enough to make people notice the difference.

Andre Hamilton's footsteps walked to the coffee table, and his tall posture immediately made Harvey bloated.

"Every year's Oscars are bound to have winners and losers, and there are bound to be people who are dissatisfied with the nominations and the results, I have always thought that this is the reason why the Oscars are precious, if everyone is satisfied, everyone is happy, it should be the Golden Globes. Wait, or is my understanding skewed? I still don't know much about the twists and turns in Hollywood. ”

The dignified and upright words do not have Lan Li's usual style of talking and laughing, but the momentum is natural and condescending, only if you have really seen Andre's kind of pride of the sky, you can understand how different Lan Li's low-key and introverted is.

Harvey was speechless.

Under the preconceived notion, Hollywood's attitude towards Lan Li generally began to be dominated by "actors", but Andre is different, he has been a hereditary aristocrat since his debut, and his power background and class status have put on a lofty posture, even if he has now created Sisyphus Pictures and become a member of Hollywood, that fixed impression still lingers.

It is precisely because of this that Harvey can still confront Lan Li head-on, but in the face of Andre's strength, he is congenitally insufficient, and his momentum has become a weaker at all.

Andre didn't know how to "stop in moderation", and said sharply and directly, "I thought Mr. Weinstein knew the Oscar rules best, even I, a layman, had heard that Mr. Weinstein is the king of Hollywood, and he has the ability to call the wind and rain above the Oscars, and he can change the trend of the Oscar statuette with his own strength?"

That Chi Guoguo's words did not hide his intention to attack at all.

This is the difference between Andre and Lan Li, everyone thinks that the hereditary aristocracy is introverted and low-key, but they forget that the hereditary aristocracy is also flamboyant and proud. Lan Li shows the etiquette of the nobility, while Andre shows the demeanor of the nobility, the content is different, but it is equally aggressive.

Harvey's face changed suddenly.

It's one thing to be rumored in the industry, and in private, Harvey is even proud of his control of the hearts and minds of the people in the college's public relations process, which is Harvey's proudest and most satisfying life, but public discussion is another, and the nature of the matter is immediately different.

"Your Excellency, this is a very, very serious accusation!" Harvey's face froze completely, and his small eyes shone with a strong light, and he said word by word.

If you distinguish carefully, you can notice that there are some subtle changes in Harvey's tone and attitude towards Lan Li and Andre, which can see that the class status of the hereditary aristocracy still has an irreplaceable and important position in Harvey's three-view system and future planning.

Andrei didn't care at all, and raised his eyebrows, "Aha, then my purpose has been achieved." ”
