Damien's nervousness and crampedness cannot be dismantled and eliminated by Lan Li in a simple two sentences, as if Lan Li can't understand how many ups and downs Damien has gone through in order to raise funds to shoot "Burst Drummer", and Damien doesn't know how much polishing Lan Li has gone through to be able to interpret the realism of "Burst Drummer".

The importance of "Burst Drummer" to Damien, the importance of Sundance to Damien, these are all the hopes of a young director at the beginning of his career.

Lan Li also understood this, and he did not expect his words to turn decay into magic, but took the initiative to take over the responsibility of promoting the movie, and firmly focused all his attention on the "Burst Drummer" amid the bustling questions of reporters.

"Rumor has it that you and Damien met by accident on Oscar night?"

"Yes, I needed a little fresh air and a little food to refuel, and we met at the restaurant opposite the Sunset Tower Hotel. Damien showed me a short film of 'Burst Drummer' and I decided to become the producer of the production. It's that simple. ”

After all, with your ability and level, you should now be able to pick and choose scripts at will throughout Hollywood, and Damien is just a rookie director who has made a film. ”

"If I say, I believe that this work will succeed, do you believe it? Obviously, because I saw the potential for this role, I wanted to challenge a few different roles. ”

"From 'Drunken Country Ballads' to 'Burst Drummer', two consecutive works have starred in musical themes, does that mean that your new album is about to be released?

"Hah, I've been caught. Yes, I'm working on a new album, but as you can see, I'm still an actor, and I've just finished a Christopher work, and then there's another voice work, and I'll start working on it when that's done. ”

"So what's the difference between shooting two music-themed works in a row?"

"Oh, these are two very, very different works. Strictly speaking, I wouldn't make both works musical, what they all have in common is that the life of the male protagonist is about music, and that's it. 'Drunken Country Ballad' tells a story of perseverance, while 'Popping Drummer' tells a story of breakthroughs, and in a way, they show two different sides of art and life. ”

"Are you still willing to shoot music-themed films, even song and dance films?"

"If you come across a good script, of course, why not? Cabaret is obviously a genre that I haven't been exposed to so far, and it should be a very interesting challenge, but for now, I don't have an idea, and I'm hoping to try out some different types of characters and different styles. ”

You come and go, ask and answer.

The rhythm between Lan Li and the reporter is very fast, there is almost no room for breathing between one question and the next question, Damien who is standing on the side has completely failed to keep up with the speed, just listening to it seems to be a little too informative, those things that sound ordinary and ordinary, but in Lan Li's processing and retelling become funny and humorous, so that the atmosphere of the audience has always been pleasant.

Damien turned his head to look at Lan Li, and his eyes couldn't help but glint with a glint of adoration.

"Lan Li, may I ask which of the two works 'Gravity' and 'Drunken Country Folk' do you personally like more?

I endured and endured, but the problem finally didn't endure.

Lan Li didn't get angry, but chuckled, "Your endurance skills today are really good. A joke made the reporters chuckle, "I'm not going to answer that question." If you're curious, I've already answered at the symposium, so you can replay it. ”

"You said at the symposium that it was a trap and you refused to answer. Immediately, a reporter complained unwillingly.

Lan Li spread her hands, "Look, the standard answer has been given." That dignified appearance did not have the slightest panic and crampedness, and still continued his attitude.

"Which one do you think has a better performance?"

Now that the topic has been raised, it is absolutely impossible to give up easily in a hurry. That's the hottest topic after the Oscar nominations were announced.

Rewind the clock to the 2006 awards season, which was a particularly special year for Leonardo DiCaprio.

first dedicated the wonderful work "The Aviator" in 2004, which was the number one favorite throughout the awards season, but lost to Jamie Fox, who was unpopular at the Oscars, who won the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations for "Soul Singer" and "Murder with a Knife", and finally topped the actor, which made many people regret Leonardo that year.

Later, in 2006, he starred in "The Departed" and "Blood Diamond", both of which delivered applause performances, and in the first half of the awards season, no one can be said to be the right, and the strong limelight firmly locked the top seed in the battle for the best actor.

But the vote-sharing crisis cannot be ignored.

"The Departed" led the awards season because of Martin Scorsese's hard work, and although this was not Martin Sr.'s personal best work, there were really no blockbuster works that could compete with it that year, which made the work itself far ahead, and Warner Bros., which was responsible for production and distribution, put most of its PR power on Best Picture and Best Director.

The overall quality of "Blood Diamond" fell to the second group and even the third group, with technical awards such as film editing and sound effects being competitive, but more weight was given to the two actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and supporting actor Djimon Hounson, and the distribution company could spend more energy on acting awards.

Herein lies the problem, the issuing company of "Blood Diamond" is also Warner Bros.

In other words, Warner Bros. has limited PR power, and they have to make trade-offs.

Objectively speaking, Leonardo's performance in "The Departed" was better and more brilliant than "Blood Diamond", leaving a deeper impression on the audience;

Many industry insiders believe that if Warner Bros. simply gave up the "Blood Diamond" and promoted the "Departed", then Leonardo might have won the Oscar in 2006, but the reality is more complicated.

"The Departed" can be described as star-studded, with two leading actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, and two supporting actors, Jack Nicholson and Mark Walkerberg.

All four actors were able to challenge for acting awards, but everyone knew that it was almost impossible for all four to win nominations, especially in the lead role department. In the history of the Oscars, in the supporting actor department, there are many cases where one work occupies two nomination seats, but it is very difficult to double nominate in the leading role department.

In 1950, "Comet Beauty" won a total of 14 nominations, tied with "Titanic" for the top position in the number of Oscar nominations, and the technical awards department at that time was far from being as comprehensive as in 1997, and the reason why "Comet Beauty" was able to create such a record was from the comprehensive outbreak of the acting department:

Two nominations for Best Actress, two nominations for Best Supporting Actress, and one nomination for Best Supporting Actor. There are five acting nominations, which has become a unique landscape in the long history. But...... Such a miracle is now almost impossible to replicate.

Warner Bros. knows this well.

The first to fall behind was Matt Damon, who had a mediocre reputation in the industry, and then above the Golden Globes, Leonardo won the Best Actor in the Drama category with two works, while Jack Nicholson and Mark Walkerberg were both nominated for Best Supporting Actor, which suddenly made Warner Bros. even more difficult to deliver.

After some internal trade-offs, they decided...... Don't give up on any of them. Because the entanglement of interests is too complicated, there is no way to give up any of them.

Jack Nicholson wants to get his thirteenth Oscar nomination – breaking his own record, Mark Wackerberg wants his first Oscar nomination – fellow Boston gang Matt Damon backs Mark, and "Blood Diamond" director Edard-Zick wants to win his first Best Director nomination – despite already winning his own "Shakespeare Love History" and "Drug/Substance Network" as a producer Nominated twice, Leonardo naturally wanted to win his first statuette.

So, Warner Bros. followed suit, and later, because Leonardo's lead was more obvious, Warner Bros. relaxed a little bit of public relations, and focused more on the relatively weak Mark, but it turned out to be a chicken and egg fight.

"The Departed" received only one nomination for Best Supporting Actor, which belonged to Mark Walkerberg, the least competitive, which almost ruined the battle for Best Director and Best Picture for Martin Scorsese, while "Blood Diamond" won the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations, but lost the Best Director nomination.

This was a disaster for Leonardo, and "Blood Diamond" fell behind in terms of strength to fame to industry recognition, and almost announced the bad news that he was not the best actor in advance. The ending was indeed the same, another black man after Jamie Fox, Forest Whitaker came out on top as the "Last Dictator/Dictator", and successfully reached the top with the first nomination.

Now, the same situation has come to Lan Li again.

It is generally believed in the industry that the performance of "Drunken Country Ballads" is better and better, but in the end, it was "Gravity" that won the Oscar nomination - of course, the strength of "Gravity" works surpasses "Drunken Country Ballads", which is a good thing, but ...... Who knew that Lan Li would not follow in Leonardo's footsteps?
