1240 Like a spring breeze
Luke Tredew, Harry Treadaay.
It's a pair of twin brothers, both of whom became actors, and both have a place in the British independent film scene.
Even more interestingly, Luke is heterosexual and has a long-term and stable girlfriend, while Harry is openly gay, and the two brothers have different sexual orientations. However, twins are twins after all, and it is still difficult for outsiders to distinguish them.
Especially if it's the first time you meet.
But just now, Lan Li recognized Luke at a glance, not Harry.
Faced with Luke's curiosity, Lan Li chuckled, did not answer directly, but his eyes flashed slightly, and said jokingly, "If I say that it is just luck, do you believe it?"
In fact, Luke and Harry's temperament, eyes, and demeanor are all different.
Luke is a stage actor and has a professionally polished style, while Harry is a TV actor and has a distinctly different style. These details can be distinguished by careful observation and capture by those who have been immersed in the performance for a long time.
But Lan Li's witty and polite way of responding made Luke laugh happily, "That makes sense. To be honest, after actually meeting each other, I couldn't believe that Jean-Valjean was played by you, and the difference in the whole feeling was really obvious. ”
The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth did not change, and he bowed his head slightly, "Thank you for your praise!"
Luke paused slightly, clapped his hands and laughed.
A few simple small talks, the atmosphere is really relaxed and happy, and the cordiality and comfort like a spring breeze always make people involuntarily admire.
Although Luke wanted to stay, he chose to take his leave, generously leaving the interview space to Ned and the other eager reporters. With a polite nod, Luke turned and walked away.
"Lan Li, who will you choose for the competition for Best Actor in a Drama tonight?" Ned did not impatiently start asking about Lan Li's gossip questions, but followed the momentum of the topic just now and asked questions.
This kind of interview, with retreat as advance and in one go, makes people feel more comfortable, Lan Li did not evade, and expressed his opinion casually, "Luke, I will choose Luke." ”
The other reporters standing next to Ned were slightly stunned, "What about James?"
James McAvoy.
Compared with Luke Twinway, James is now proud of himself in Hollywood, and his momentum is amazing. Everyone thought that Lan Li and James had a personal relationship, if not close friends, but at least they were closer.
Lan Li didn't answer, but shrugged his shoulders slightly, and kept smiling. Silently, the response couldn't be clearer: he still chose Luke, not James.
In terms of professionalism, Lan Li has always been sincere. Just like the actress contest between Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain, the showdown between Luke Tridwin and James McAvoy, Lan Li also insisted on her own judgment and choice, which came from the professionalism of the performers. It has nothing to do with PR, and it has nothing to do with friendship.
The reporters' eyes suddenly bloomed with a green light: if they wanted, they could completely hype up the relationship between Lan Li and James and stir up trouble.
However, this is the Oliver Awards, a professional stage, and even the gossip of reporters is a lot more indifferent, so Ned was the first to change the topic and continue the question just now, "What about you?"
"I mean," Ned added, "are you looking forward to the award tonight?"
"Keep the anticipation, stay humble, keep the peace of mind. Lan Li said calmly, not too low-key to show politeness, those bright eyes flashed with confidence, but also did not express confidence too high-profile, that calm smile precipitated the pride of the flamboyant.
It doesn't seem to have any special answers, revealing a comfortable and unhurried demeanor.
Then, Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, "Standing on this stage tonight, let's enjoy it to the fullest, and as for the awards, everything will go naturally." I think there's a lot more to be paid attention to than just the awards, isn't it? For example, I heard that Dame Helen Mirren would be in attendance, and I really wanted to talk to her about the play 'The Queen's Summons' up close. ”
The excitement between the eyebrows did not hide the enthusiasm in the depths of his heart.
Ned knew that Lan Li was serious.
But other reporters were reluctant to stop there, and a questioning voice sounded next to them, "But this time is different after all." If you can win an Oliver Award, and then you can win a Tony Award, then you will succeed in EGOT, haven't you ever thought about it?"
Lan Li's gaze projected to the source of the voice, and he reminded with a smile, "Yes, as you said, this is the Oliver Award, not the Tony Award. ”
Such a frontal and sharp counterattack made the atmosphere of the scene stagnate slightly in an instant, and even the blade in Lan Li's words could be felt, and the eyes of the other reporters were staggered together, revealing a hint of schadenfreude, how could they forget that Lan Li has never been able to control it easily.
"But...... That's EGOT!"
There are still reporters who are reluctant to try to chase after them, and then you can see the corners of Lan Li's mouth twitching slightly, his eyebrows frowning slightly, revealing a look of confusion and curiosity, "I don't quite understand, is EGOT the blue energy block in the 'Avengers'? Can it destroy the earth? Or can it dominate the stars?"
Such an analogy is full of comical joy, and it responds sideways in a light-hearted and gag-like way. Obviously, compared to the hustle and bustle of the media, Lan Li never really thought about it at all.
"If that's all there is to it, then we can wait until after the Tony Award to talk about it. For now, I decided to pay my respects to the glory of Sir Lawrence Oliver. Lan Li still maintained her graceful demeanor, and after responding with a smile on her face, she turned around and left.
The reporters were completely panicked.
After the Oscar ceremony, Lan Li completely disappeared, not to mention public appearances, and even the clues on social networks could not be found, as if he was a master outside the world, and disappeared. is so low-key, so secretive, and rigorously challenges the authority of the paparazzi in the Internet age.
Now, for the first time in two months, Lan Li has officially "exposed" her whereabouts, which is definitely an incredible opportunity, there are countless things that have happened in the past time, not only egot, but also many topics worth discussing and exploring, but now?
Only three questions were asked before and after, and then Lan Li left, this, what should I do?
In an instant, the reporters all shouted hoarsely, and all kinds of strange questions and various names poured down like a downpour, trying to save Lan Li's footsteps from leaving.
But apparently, this is a failed attempt.
The reporters had to speed up their pace, like a school of sardines, and quickly swarmed in the direction where Lan Li left, the huge and lively tail was magnificent on the red carpet, lala, hula, it was a rare sight, and even the audience standing on the other side of the red carpet witnessed it all with amazement.
Unfortunately, it still didn't help.
Only a handful of journalists stayed put, and Ned was one of them.
Because he knows that Lan Li has never been the kind of actor who can be easily manipulated, the loftiness and pride in his bones hide a stubbornness that would rather bend, which makes reporters hate it, but makes onlookers admire.
Originally, Ned also wanted to ask about Lan Li's next plan, continue to take the holidays, return to the West End, or "Burst Drummer"?
As the hottest actor in the world now, there is no one who has Lan Li's every move that affects the direction of countless eyes, but now, Ned realizes that the attention and attention of the outside world is always just an attached halo to Lan Li, and it will not affect his decision in the slightest.
In other words, no matter what, Lan Li will still follow its own set pace.
Then, those gossip questions lose their meaning. So, even if there are no questions, there is nothing to lose.
Now, Ned is even more curious, can Lan Li really make it to the top of the Olivier Award?
Is it because of EGOT, and not just because EGOT West End insiders are willing to open their minds to the young and talented Blue Gift?
The Oscar curse has not completely dissipated, and people are waiting for the release of the two works "Drunken Country Ballad" and "Gravity" to verify the powerful influence of the curse.
Even if Lan Li doesn't care, the film industry circles in the United Kingdom, the United States, and even the world can't care less. This is a moment that changes history, and it is also a moment that changes the industrial landscape.
Ned began to look forward vaguely.
……
Compared with the restlessness of reporters and the industry, Lan Li, as a party, has always been calm.
It's not because he doesn't care, but because he is in the blue sea and blue sky, the vastness and grandeur of nature make everything insignificant, Lan Li is completely immersed in himself and the sky, there is no time or space to think about the meaning of EGOT, everything is just about himself, about life, about existence.
After being open-minded, the heart of gain and loss gradually calmed down.
What's more, Lan Li sincerely believes that above the Olivier Award and the Tony Award, he is not the favorite to win.
Not because of his youth, but because of his immaturity.
On the drama stage, he still lacks experience and experience, and needs to be slowly polished, slowly precipitated, and slowly learned. Perhaps, one day in the future, he can stand on the highest stage of the drama and welcome his own glory, but not this year.
This year's favourite should be Michael Ball.
