1793 Succession

Leonardo, who was standing in front of Lan Li, was still that handsome and dashing, graceful appearance, he patted Lan Li's chest with his left hand, and said seriously, "I hate you." God, I hate you to the core, you know?" but the slow smile in those eyes revealed his true thoughts and state at this time.

Lan Li bowed his head lightly and said with a smile, "I think I am about to become the object of envy of countless women, and it can definitely be said that it is a dream come true to be able to become the object that Leonardo DiCaprio always thinks of when he dreams." I hope the dream is not too much/fragrant/glamorous. ”

In the face of Lan Li's elegance and calmness, Leonardo didn't hold back after all, a cheerful smile slowly flowed out from the depths of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Relax, relax." That's my dream, not yours. Even if the scene is a little inappropriate, it's me who is uncomfortable in the end, so you don't have to worry. ”

"Not right? What kind of thing is not appropriate? Is the 'wolf of Wall Street' style not appropriate?" Lan Li quipped with a slight rise in his eyebrows.

Leonardo's left hand turned into a fist and slammed Lan Li's chest twice, "Ha! ”

Lan Li laughed happily, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually calmed down, and fell into his eyes like a little starlight, and said politely, "It's a pity that you weren't able to participate in it tonight." ”

It's a very skillful way to put it into words.

Since the announcement of the Oscar nominations, many media and netizens have said that it was the finalist of Lan Li who squeezed out Leonardo's seat.

Everyone knows that this is a ridiculous statement - even if there is a real "squeeze", it should be that Chiwett Ejiofor and Christian Bale have teamed up to squeeze out Tom Hanks and Forest Whitaker, and Leonardo DiCaprio, who has always been in the chasing position, needs to be at the back of the line;

It shouldn't be that Leonardo lost to Blue Rite, but that "The Wolf of Wall Street" didn't win enough chips to get into the final round of the awards season game in the Academy's PR.

But the truth comes down to the truth, and it actually falls on the individual, and the situation is different, and only you can understand the taste.

When thousands of voices are repeating the same thing, even lies have some persuasive power, let alone an ambiguous PR game like awards season?

Even if Leonardo doesn't get upset, it's bound to be difficult to stay unfazed. Put yourself in their shoes, Lan Li can't 100% guarantee that he won't have any fluctuations.

Therefore, when Lan Li and Leonardo met, Lan Li expressed his suffocation in a polite and decent way: it is a pity that Leonardo did not win the nomination, it is not that Leonardo lost the nomination because of someone else, it is a pity that Leonardo's excellent performance was not recognized, and it is not that Leonardo lost the opportunity to compete for the Golden Man again.

In this way, it both responds positively to key questions and takes care of Leonardo's emotions. The most important thing is to avoid Lan Li showing the lofty posture of the "nominee", whether it is pity and sympathy, or regret, which may condescendingly create unnecessary secondary harm - although the so-called "injury" was never caused by Lan Li, he still maintained his usual gentlemanly demeanor.

The art of speaking is probably like this, in a word, how to avoid harm and how to make people warm, this is definitely not as simple as it seems.

Leonardo didn't think about it deeply, but he could feel enough emotions from Lan Li's words and expression, and the little regret and loss left in his heart slowly sprinkled down, not disappearing but peaceful enough, his smile narrowed slightly for a moment, and then bloomed again, "This shows that this time is not good enough, then wait for the next time." ”

The same miss, some see it as a failure, some see it as a setback, and some see it as an adjustment on the road to success. Although the chicken soup for the soul of success learning is always annoying, the difference in mentality can always bring more different effects to life.

"I'm waiting for the next time. Lan Li said with a pun.

But how should it be understood: is Lan Li implying that he is not the favorite tonight, or is it implying that Leonardo is also looking forward to fighting on the occasion of his next nomination?

Leonardo raised his chin slightly, gently pursed the corners of his mouth, looked at Lan Li meaningfully, and then smiled without warning, and even couldn't help laughing directly, "You know, you're really an interesting guy." The hearty voice attracted a lot of attention from the side, especially the female audience and staff.

Such a pleasing sight is truly rare.

However, on the Oscars red carpet tonight, a similar scene was staged along with the footsteps of Lan Li, becoming the brightest scenery on Hollywood Boulevard, and even passers-by who have no interest in the awards season have to admit that such a eye-catching picture is indeed refreshing.

"Hey, Lan Li. ”

"Long time no see, Lan Li. ”

"Here, here, I was just thinking about where you were. ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency. ”

"Haha, it's finally been you. ”

In the first half of the red carpet, the "Hunger Games" crew was surrounded by the enthusiastic cheers and cheers of countless audiences at the scene, and in the second half of the red carpet, Lan Li became the darling of all industry peers, and the calls flocked from all directions, as if everyone was waiting for Lan Li's arrival.

In fact, this is not uncommon - among fellow actors, Lan Li still has an unparalleled reputation for excellence, as can be seen from the nomination of the Screen Actors Guild.

"Ladies, gentlemen, I need to borrow my boyfriend, do you mind?"

Lan Li was chatting with Matthew McConaughey, Meryl Streep and others in front of the steps of the Dolby Theater, seeing that the banquet hall was close at hand, but their footsteps were always delayed, but the destination that could be reached by stepping on the steps was delayed step by step, and then, a hoarse voice jokingly interspersed in, interrupting their conversation, nodding to everyone with a smile, holding Lan Li's shoulders with both hands, turning around and preparing to leave.

"Ryan came to the rescue. ”

"Lan Li is not tired, you are actually distressed?"

"Apparently Ryan has other plans. ”

"Hey, you borrowed Lan Li, so what should we do?"

"Ryan, exchange hostages, Lan Li can leave, you must stay. ”

It was Ryan Gosling. When the two first met at the Toronto Film Festival, they had teased reporters several times with the scandal between the two people, and over the years, the development of the two young actors in Hollywood has been smooth, and the friendship between them has become more and more stable.

Occasionally, Ryan and Lan Li also blacked themselves out, and a small tease can often create more effects, just like now.

In the midst of laughter and banter, Lan Li's steps also took two steps forward, but his tone still remained unhurried and calm, "I'll see you in the banquet hall later, we still have four hours to spend slowly." A joke that ridiculed the Oscars was too lengthy sparked laughter again, and then Lan Li withdrew his gaze and moved forward steadily.

"Whew, thank you. After turning around, Lan Li whispered his thanks to Ryan, "I'm almost starting to suspect that this journey will never end. ”

Ryan pinched the muscles on Lan Li's shoulders hard, approached Lan Li's ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't change the subject, why haven't I been notified yet?"

Lan Li didn't know why, turned his head to look at Ryan, and then caught a strong dissatisfaction and protest in those eyes, he reacted immediately, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, but there was a joke on his mouth, "If I'm getting married, don't worry, you will definitely be the first to be notified." ”

"Better that way! or my ex-boyfriend is going to have a big wedding. Ryan didn't mind and started messing around, but after a little joke, he continued, "You know I'm not talking about this, it's Sisyphus." ”

Sure enough, it was Sisyphus Pictures.

Lan Li showed a smile, "Why does it seem like everyone can't wait to lose money?" "Investing in an independent film company is definitely not a trivial matter, especially now that the entire film market is sluggish and the economic environment is not optimistic, losing money is a high probability event.

"Huh. Ha. Ha. Very funny. Ryan didn't buy it, "You know I was a director for the first time last year, and I've always been interested in being a producer. Especially after the first directorial work understands all the difficulties. Ryan lowered his voice and whispered in Lan Li's ear, his eyes still showing a proper smile to the others from time to time, "Even if that aside, Lan Li, you should choose to trust me when you need help." ”

"Yes, I know, I'm learning. Lan Li didn't distinguish, but said sincerely, which made Ryan stunned - obviously this was not the answer he was expecting, Lan Li continued, "If you are interested, after the ceremony tonight, we can sit down and talk in detail, considering that everyone is so enthusiastic, maybe I should send a mass email to see how many people are willing to come to the so-called shareholders' meeting, what do you think of Jessica?"

Jessica Chastain.

Ryan was stunned, "Haven't you told Jessica yet?"

"You're the second. Paul found out the other day. Lan Li said, and Ryan's smile couldn't help but rise, "Wait, how do you know?"
