The filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" is nearing its end in the blink of an eye. That said, the main shots have been filmed, and only some trivial shots need to be reshot, but this is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and it will take at least two weeks. Because of some of them, they need to go back to the streets of London to shoot.

The filming at Heathrow Airport was completed in mid-December, but the scenes in Trafalgar Square in downtown London had not yet begun. Shooting in an urban area is always more cumbersome than a studio shoot, not only blocking traffic, time is of the essence, but also facing harassment from tourists and pedestrians, which often adds more uncertainty to the shoot.

Fortunately, the difficult scenes have all been filmed, and the rest are relatively simple literary scenes.

When Andy Rogers arrived in London, the crew was still filming methodically at the Leavisden Film Base. Instead of rushing to Leavisden overnight, Andy stayed at a London hotel and got busy on the go.

Generally speaking, the awards season can be roughly divided into three stages, the first stage is until Christmas, any work wants to compete for the awards season of that year, Christmas is the deadline for screenings and screenings, in this stage, it is mainly based on nominations from major film critics associations, and the seed contestants of the awards season are gradually emerging.

The second stage was marked by the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Because after the Golden Globe Awards, the Oscars will announce the list of nominees, and all the candidates who are eager to sprint for the Oscars will appear on the Golden Globes and start the sprint of college public relations in the early stage. At this stage, a small number of film critics' associations will announce the winners, and it is also a time of public relations scuffle for the Academy.

The third stage is after the Golden Globe Awards, which continues until the Oscars. With the Oscar nominees announced, the unnominated entries are gradually fading, and the remaining seeded players will focus on the showdown. The ideas and routines of the college's public relations gradually became clear, and it was also the most important and difficult stage.

On the whole, nominations are based on strength, and winning awards depends on luck. In the first and second stages, strength is king, and high-quality works can stand out as long as they have the right PR strategy, and in the third stage, this is the real "college PR" stage, where the wrist is king, and the Weinstein brothers are the best of the two.

At this time, January 2012 is halfway through the year, and this weekend is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which is the most important period of the nomination stage. Andy didn't stay in Los Angeles, but traveled across the ocean to London. It's an anomaly, but in Andy's view, it's the right trade-off.

The artists of the innovative artist agency are shared, but each artist will have a master agent. Andy is the main agent of Lanli, usually they are in direct contact with each other on a daily basis, and the resources will come to Andy after the resource is summarized; in addition to Lanli, Andy's directors of artists include Harrison Ford, Rose Byrne, Kristen Wiig, Jamie Fox and Dane DeHaan.

Not much, but not too little.

This year, Andy's awards season has undoubtedly been busy. Kristen and Lan Li were both nominated for the Golden Globe and received a lot of attention during the awards season.

With the dark horse work of "Bridesmaids", some people even think that she can hit the Oscar nomination, but all this is just an illusion of hilarity. In the contemporary Oscars, it has become increasingly difficult to get an Oscar nomination for a pure comedic performance, even Jim Carrey can't do it, and it is even more difficult for others.

What's more, the competition in the four major departments of acting this year is really fierce - so far, there is still no absolute leader, and there is no absolute strength, it seems that everyone has a chance, and there is a scuffle. It is precisely this kind of scuffle that the innate attribute of the academy is already in a weak position if it does not want to see comedy.

This is true for "bridesmaids", and so is "me fighting cancer". In Andy's opinion, not to mention Oscar nominations, even Golden Globe awards are enough to choke, Christine and Lan Li are the same - the chance of "love is crazy" is also greater than that of "me fighting cancer".

After running the awards season in Los Angeles for most of the season, Andy decided to hand over the college's PR work to his colleagues at the Innovative Artist Agency, and he came to London to take over the work.

After arriving in London, Andy started his work non-stop, and after three busy days, he went to Lewis Don, waited patiently for two hours, and the crew finished the whole day's work, and he saw the long-lost Lan Li. Looking at a large group of young people laughing and laughing, heartless, youthful and invincible, Andy couldn't help but laugh dumbly, from Los Angeles to London, from the awards season to the filming crew, the stark gap is really interesting.

"Are they always like this?" The smiling Lan Li in front of him, Andy was a little unfamiliar, almost unrecognizable.

He couldn't help but think of the second meeting with Lan Li, wearing simple sportswear, holding a skateboard, specially going to participate in an amateur skateboarding competition, Lan Li's skills are average, but on the field, his smile blooms wantonly, there is no gentleman's coat, there is no elegant calmness, just simply enjoy the pleasure of freedom.

Perhaps, such a blue gift is not so unfamiliar.

Nathan and Roy, who were sitting next to him, were used to it, but they could understand Andy's surprise, and Nathan couldn't help but laugh silly, "We're all used to it. ”

As he spoke, Lan Li walked over with Paul Walker and Rami Malek, "Hey, Andy. Lan Li smiled and nodded, said hello, and then turned his head again, looked at Rami who was gesticulating, and continued to engage in their conversation.

The complacent posture didn't seem to be surprised by Andy's appearance at all, and he didn't intend to ask Andy about the reason for his appearance, which made Andy a little unable to react. However, the Maitreya Buddha-like expression still did not panic, but smiled even brighter, "Lan Li." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, "I'm not here to visit the class." ”

The subtext is that he came here for business.

Paul and Rami exchanged glances, Rami stopped, "See you for dinner later?" After receiving Lan Li's affirmative answer, the two of them walked in the other direction with a smile, Lan Li turned his head to look at Andy, "It seems that this is urgent, and I can't even wait for dinner time." ”

Seeing Andy on the set, Lan Li certainly knew that there must be something serious, otherwise a phone call would be fine. But obviously, it's not just a serious matter, it's also a matter of urgency.

Andy was not surprised by Lan Li's acuity, and nodded in affirmation, "I need to rush back to London immediately before dinner starts. There's a play in London's West End tonight, and I've already bought my tickets for the nine-and-a-half show. ”

"Oh, new drama?" Lan Li was not surprised at all, but became interested in drama.

This time, even Nathan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help it, "Andy's point is that it's too late, not drama. ”

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and asked with a smile, "Who knew that drama wasn't the point?" Nathan choked, blinked, and then turned to look at Andy.

"Then do you want to guess again, what kind of drama it is, and what does it matter what I am talking about next?" Andy's words were equivalent to an indirect affirmation, and the main thing was related to the drama. He's not a theater lover, and if it weren't for his work, he wouldn't sit in a theater for two or three hours.

Lan Li didn't answer, and walked straight into the house, "You are the agent, not me." Or, Roy, you're going to give me a hint?"

Roy and Andy exchanged glances, both smiling, and entered the room one after the other.

Andy took a brief look at the room, the decoration style is not a luxurious and extravagant type, but a simple and elegant IKEA style, light gray, beige and dark blue furniture, the visual effect is very comfortable and relaxed, there are a few books on the coffee table at random, and I glanced at it, it is not esoteric, but popular literature such as detectives. It can be seen that during the filming here, Lan Li's life was indeed comfortable.

"If the Hollywood Foreign Press Association knew that you gave up attending the Golden Globes for a vacation here, they probably wouldn't be in a good mood. Andy sat down, the burlap couch flipped softer than expected, and the words became quip.

Lan Li didn't sit down immediately, but walked to the bedroom on the right, closed the door lightly, changed the costume, and changed into a clean and simple sportswear, and the whole person really relaxed, "I believe that the night of the awards ceremony was star-studded, and they won't care if I am missing." ”

After the list of nominees for the 69th Golden Globe Awards was announced, Lan Li, together with George and Ryan, became the biggest focus of attention, and the invitation to the award ceremony was also sent to Lan Li's apartment in New York as soon as possible, and Andy was notified. However, Andy also communicated with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the first time, saying that Lan Li would be absent from the awards ceremony this year.

The reason is not complicated, on the one hand, Lan Li is in the UK into the "Edge of Tomorrow" filming, London to Los Angeles is a long flight of eleven and a half hours, on the other hand, after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, first the Berlin Film Festival, then the Grammys, then the Oscars, and countless college PR in between, these activities, if Lan Li does not want to be absent, the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" must be completed as soon as possible, and it is really impossible to delay.

Not to mention the Golden Globe Awards, even the publicity period of "I Fight Cancer" has been compressed to just three days, and before that, the first and second phases of the college's public relations, Lan Li was all absent, at least without discrimination. This also means that if the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" can't be ended, Lan Li will also miss a series of activities in the future - after all, attending one event but refusing to attend another event will offend people if you are not careful.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association expressed its understanding of the situation. As Lan Li said, the most important thing for their award ceremony is the top big names.
