EGOT?

Lan Li is also an ordinary person, how could he not want to? How could he be indifferent? How could he stay out of things? How could he be like a water? How could he be detached from the world?

It can be said that he is vulgar, it can be said that he is superficial, it can be said that he is not pure enough, and it can be said that he is still not vulgar enough after all, but the truth is - deep down, even if it is just the idea of EGOT and the actor slam quietly popping up, the blood can't help but start boiling, and every cell in the body cheers.

It's for fame and profit, and it's not for fame or profit.

In life, everyone tries to prove that they once existed, to leave some traces in this world, even if they disappear one day, they can live in the mouths of some people, pass on for a long time, and truly leave a mark in the society, firmly imprinted in the long river of time.

In "Burst Drummer", there is such a dinner party dialogue.

Andrew's father's friend brought his two sons, a varsity football player, a scholarship recipient and a representative of the school's Model United Nations, all of whom were worldly successful and envied by all, while Andrew, who was just an ordinary drummer, became a symbol of nothing.

So, they began to discuss the definition of success.

Andrew said, "I'd rather be drunk on alcohol/drugs, die young at the age of thirty-four, and be the talk of the conversation at the dinner table, than live to be ninety with a red face and no one remembers me." ”

Their subject of discussion was Charlie-Parker, the greatest jazz saxophonist in the history of American music, who even changed the composition and trends of jazz and exemplified the direction of the entire culture. Because of his fascination with saxophone culture, Charlie Parker dropped out of school at the age of fourteen, and after crazy hard training, he achieved his own glory and went down in history.

In a sense, Charlie Parker is Andrew's role model and target.

But in the eyes of most people, this is a 1 in 10,000 chance, and any attempt is just an excuse to not do a good job.

In fact, these are two different philosophies of life, some people want to spend their lives in peace and stability, but when death comes, they leave quietly like autumn leaves, which is consummation, while others want to run their lives vigorously and mightily, leaving a strong mark on their own chapters to prove that they once existed.

For every artist, it's the latter.

No one wants to be annihilated in the long river of history, but more or less expects that their works, their own names, their own art and ideas can be passed on, and they will contribute their own strength to the history of spiritual heritage and artistic inheritance, and become an important part of society.

It is often said that artists are narcissistic.

It's the truth.

Blue Rite is no exception.

If he can complete EGOT, if he can complete the actor slam, Lan Li will not be hypocritical and say that these are meaningless, on the contrary, all this is the most important affirmation of his persistence, his hard work, his hard work, his persistence, his dreams and his rebirth.

In the long river of history, he also left his own mark.

Maybe one day in the future, he can see through the red dust, like Woody Allen, Jean-Luc Godard and other masters, get rid of the troubles of the world, just enjoy the process of artistic creation, just enjoy the process of self-exploration and self-breakthrough, just purely about art itself, but at least, not now.

From the Oliver Awards to the Cannes Film Festival, all the disturbing topics continue to linger in his ears, and Lan Li can't help but become impetuous, even if he tries his best to devote himself to the festival, but the change of mood is inevitable. In the final analysis, he is still an ordinary man, and he is not as detached and lofty as he imagined.

Lan Li knows that it is almost impossible to completely empty his brain, even if he is a human in two lives, this is an unprecedented special situation, he needs to stay sober, he also needs to remain humble, down-to-earth, return to acting, and once again devote himself to the study of acting.

Therefore, Lan Li couldn't wait to return to New York, and threw himself into the preparation for the filming of "Burst Drummer", turning the restlessness and thirst/hope in his heart, and the irritability and urgency in his emotions, all into the motivation to play Andrew.

Appropriately, Andrew has become a reflection of Lan Li's current state of mind, even more apt and more real than four months ago, which may become an important breakthrough in this performance.

For journalists and industry insiders, the "Burst Drummer" is special, and for Lanli, the same is true. It's just that the reasons may be different.

This is the first time that Lan Li has returned to the crew after a long period of rest and adjustment, and his mentality and state need to be re-adapted; this is also the most impetuous period of Lan Li's emotions, and the interference of off-site factors will inevitably affect the performance state, even if there is no continuous harassment by media reporters, the impact on the actual filming process cannot be predicted in advance.

This can be a bad thing or a good thing. In the end, it still depends on Lan Li.

……

New York at the end of May can already capture the breath of early summer, the thin golden sunlight through the high-rise buildings sprinkled on the dark gray alleys, the fresh green spores tear through the cold of the early morning and climb up the dark brown branches, and the warm breeze through the hall passes quickly between the hem of the windbreaker and the hurried pace, quietly conveying the message that winter has completely left.

Stepping on a skateboard, speeding through the brick and stone alleys of Greenwich Village, the wind blowing the hem of a white shirt, and occasionally capturing the lively voices of people in the streets, the whole world becomes vivid and bright, as if you can catch the traces of the sun flowing on your fingertips, and even the cold water vapor and the cold wind are extremely lovely.

With an emergency brake, Lan Li's footsteps stopped on the side of the road, raised his head and looked at the brick-red buildings on both sides of the street, and there was a trace of confusion in the depths of his eyes:

Where the hell is this?

Greenwich Village is undoubtedly the most familiar area of Lanley, where he has lived since coming to New York, and even though he can now afford to move and find a better place to live on Long Island or the Upper East Side, he has chosen to stay here, and has long been accustomed to the brick and brick of the place.

But now on the streets of Greenwich Village, Lan Li felt so unfamiliar, as if she had never been here. In fact, there are many, many places in Greenwich Village, which seems to be a small area, that Lan Li has never explored, such as today, he encountered a little problem-

He was lost.

He had been circling the area for twenty minutes, still unable to find his destination, repeatedly thinking that he had found a place, but the next second he began to express self-doubt, as if he had never been here at all, everything was completely unfamiliar.

Today is the first day of Lan Li's day to learn the drum kit.

In order to shoot "Burst Drummer", Lan Li had to learn beforehand, which was different from the soldier training of the "Pacific War", and different from the personal experience of "buried alive" or "gravity", which was really learning something new, and it was also the first time in Lan Li's career - in order to shoot a movie, he had to learn a new skill from scratch.

Although film is an editing technique, even if the actor does not know a skill at all, the director can complete all the shooting work through editing and stand-in, but for Lan Li, in order to achieve realistic effects and devote himself to the role, it is a very necessary process to actually learn skills, and it does not need to be completely proficient, at least not ignorant.

I used to hear that in order to devote himself to a specific role, an actor spends half a year shaping his body, or learning riding, or honing his skills, or even longer, hoping to perfectly present the real state of the character in the work, maybe this is not a good deal, but it is an actor's attitude.

What's more, "Burst Drummer" is a very special work, the drum kit is the core of the whole work, and Andrew and the drum kit are completely integrated.

Now, Lan Li is ready to start learning the drum kit. What he asks of himself is that he needs to be able to not only get started, but also be able to excel. If not proficient, it needs to be at least eighty points or more.

It's not easy.

But Lan Li is ready to push himself and squeeze himself, go all out, and see where his limits are.

Originally, time was the biggest problem, and Lan Li really didn't have much time to practice before he went into filming "Burst Drummer", but now it seems that the more important problem is that he can't find a practice room and a teacher, let alone start practicing.

God, where the hell is he now?

"Hey...... Lan Li?"

Not far away, a hesitant call came, Lan Li reflexively turned his head, and then saw a man with a messy face and beard.

With a messy dreadlock, a beard that barely obscures two-thirds of his cheeks, it's hard to tell exactly whether he's twenty-five or forty, and a dirty gray T-shirt and dark blue cargo pants that look like he didn't have time to wash up after a night's sleep on a street corner last night, and then head to a nearby park to clean up.

Lan Li smiled politely and nodded.

The man immediately understood, and let out a shallow laugh, "It's me, Johnson-Clark, if I'm not mistaken, we should have an appointment for an interview today." ”

Johansen Clark, Lane Lane's drum kit instructor.
