"Yes, talk to me. Lan Li replied in the affirmative.
The smile on Alfonso's face bloomed, and he seemed to be much more relaxed, then he remembered something, sorted out his expression again, and continued seriously, "If that's the case, I have a few friends, very, very good friends, who are also preparing film projects, but the investment side of things is really a headache. ”
"You know, these Hollywood companies are always more demanding on us expatriate directors, especially when we always want to shoot special projects. If you're willing to talk to them, that's great. Alfonso couldn't hide his excitement, and even began to dance with his hands.
Alfonso has worked with Lan Li, and naturally knows Lan Li's style and habits well. If it's a blue gift, then Alfonso is willing to trust his trust. It's not hard to see why everyone would want to believe Steve Spielberg or Tom Hanks?
But after saying that, Alfonso realized that he was too excited, "No, no, I promise, these friends are very trustworthy, they have different projects and different styles, but all of them are full of sincerity, I can guarantee it." By the way, you should have heard of them, Alessandro and Gilmour. ”
Because he was too happy, he said incoherently and incoherently, but the sincerity between the lines was not mixed with any water.
"It's been a privilege to get to know two amazing directors. I think Focus Pictures and Fox Searchlight are starting to get jealous of my popularity. Lan Li's tone was relaxed and teased, not too solemn, which eased Alfonso's mood and his expression stretched again.
The Mexican trio who have joined hands in Hollywood can be said to be the strongest representatives of foreign directors in Hollywood, and in the next few years, they have successively achieved the peak of their careers, gaining fame and fortune. And the three directors have always helped each other and walked hand in hand, and the unbreakable friendship between them is also a beautiful scenery in Vanity Fair.
Unexpectedly, Sisyphus Pictures' reputation attracted Alfonso's attention, and it was able to attract Alessandro and Gilmour by the way, which is really good news for Lan Li.
"Are you going to go to the Sunset Tower Hotel in a moment?" Alfonso couldn't help but start rubbing his hands excitedly, and the regret of missing out on the best picture began to slowly dissipate as time progressed.
Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "Yes." We're ready to go back and change our clothes now, and then we'll need to refuel a little bit and pad our stomachs before heading to the party. "Because of Sisyphus Films, Oscar Night is naturally an important occasion that cannot be missed, and Lan Li will also be present in person tonight.
"Eating?" Alfonso said, confused.
Later, Lan Li and Rooney discussed with Alfonso some tips and precautions for attending the Oscar night, which was really new for Alfonso.
After chatting for a while, another colleague came over to congratulate Alfon, and Lan Li and Rooney took the opportunity to say goodbye, tonight's busy schedule is far from over, and there is still heavy social work to be done at the Sunset Tower Hotel, even more energy than the award ceremony itself.
After walking a long way, Rooney suddenly remembered, "Wait, trophy." ”
Lan Li looked at Rooney with a confused face, and after looking up and down, he reacted, "Ah, the trophy." ”
Rooney's trophy is being engraved in the lettering, transforming from an ordinary golden figure to a trophy exclusive to the winner of the 86th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. During the waiting period, it was undoubtedly the peak of social interaction, but after being interrupted by Lan Li, Rooney completely forgot about it until now.
Rooney didn't remember.
Lan Li is even more unlikely to remember.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, and then they both laughed, and Rooney pursed the corners of her lips, and said with bright eyes, "Otherwise, just don't want it?"
"That's your choice. Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Aren't you going to stop me?"
"Uh...... No. Or do you say, you can't bear it?"
"It seems really reluctant to be said by you. You know, it doesn't seem useful to keep it, but if you really lose it, you feel weird. ”
"Are you talking about chicken ribs?"
“…… Well, almost. ”
"Well, let's go back and get it. ”
"Hey, wait, where's your trophy?"
“…… It should be a locker under the bookshelf, right?"
"Should?"
"I'm not so sure. ”
“……”
The two of them were complaining to each other in the bustling corridor, and if someone listened carefully, they didn't know what expression to make at this time. In the end, Rooney was speechless, and then the two of them walked back and found the abandoned golden man, and then left the Dolby Theater again.
From the Dolby Theatre to the Sunset Tower Hotel, from the awards show to the "Oscar Night" party, Hollywood's annual grand wrap-up banquet has officially entered its second phase, and it also heralds the start of a new year of college PR battles - the Sundance Film Festival and the Berlinale Film Festival are already on the scene, aren't they?
When they arrived at the Sunset Tower Hotel, Lan Li and Rooney did not appear together, the preparation procedures of the ladies were much more cumbersome, and the two of them were not ready to appear as partners, so Rooney was still redressing in the hotel, and Lan Li was the first to appear at the Oscar night party.
Click, click, click.
Click, click, click.
Lan Li's figure had just appeared at the main entrance of the Sunset Tower Hotel, and the sound and frequency of the flashing lights in the audience had climbed more than two steps, instantly releasing the highest energy of the night - although he returned empty-handed tonight, Lan Li was still the absolute focus of the audience.
"Lan Li, Lan Li, look here!"
"Ahhh
"Master, can you answer a question?"
"Blue Rite Blue Rite Blue Rite Blue Rite!"
"Lan Li, wait a minute!
In the chaos and crowding of the audience, Lan Li walked on the red carpet, without too many stops, and went straight to the interview area, and then saw the surging crowd of people rushing forward and back, even if he was used to seeing countless big scenes, he couldn't help but smile, "I'm here, I won't run away, don't worry." ”
But the hustle and bustle of the audience has not been alleviated, the focus of tonight's awards ceremony is really too much, and the blue ceremony is the focus of the focus, no reporter wants to miss the opportunity to interview, the extremely fierce competition makes the scene look like the animal world.
Finally, under Lan Li's repeated calls, the reporters barely controlled the scene, and then officially entered the interview session, but the first question made the experienced Lan Li stunned, almost losing his temper, but finally controlled his emotions and laughed happily, "This is your problem, are you sure?"
In the crowded lineup of reporters who couldn't breathe, the reporter who grabbed the first opportunity to ask a question by all odds was an unfamiliar face, and her energetic, young and immature appearance looked likely to be an intern, from the "Chicago Tribune", and her question made all the reporters collectively dumbfounded:
"On Oscar night last year, you met Damien Chazelle in the dining car across from you, and that's why you became the 'Burst Drummer', so tonight, will you go to the dining car across the street?"
Such a problem...... It was really super unexpected, even Lan Li didn't expect it, so he laughed out loud and asked the other party to confirm it.
But the young reporter in front of her nodded very seriously and gave an affirmative answer: this is the question she wants to ask.
Lan Li's smile widened, "If this is an advertiser-sponsored question, it can really be said to be a genius." After making a joke, Lan Li showed a sincere attitude and replied seriously, "I have already eaten some food in the hotel before coming to the Sunset Tower Hotel, so I have no plans to go to the dining car opposite for the time being." ”
After answering the question, Lan Li cast his gaze with great interest and asked, "May I ask, why are you curious about this question?"
"Since the news came out last year, the food truck has launched the 'Blue Gift-Hall Package', and many fans have made a special trip there to try this package. And there are a lot of fans waiting around the dining car tonight, looking forward to meeting you again, or other guests in attendance. ”
How should it be described? An unexpected but reasonable answer?
Lan Li laughed happily, "A little tip, even if I was going to go to the dining car, or my other colleagues, but seeing so many people gathered around the dining car, we would quietly turn around and walk away." If you have the heart, you should hide your whereabouts well and prepare for an ambush. ”
Why does the use of the verb "ambush" sound a bit paparazzi?
The reporters at the scene all looked at each other, and in the end they didn't hold back, and they laughed one after another, and the tense atmosphere of you fighting for me suddenly became relaxed.
Then the second question got back on track, revealing the sharpness and sharpness of the reporters, "Lan Li, may I ask, which work did you vote for for Best Film?"
There is a small trap hidden in it: not only "Twelve Years of Slavery", Lan Li also has two works shortlisted for Best Picture nominations, "Gravity" and "Drunken Country Folk", so who did Lan Li's vote for?
Judging from the results of the interview before the awards ceremony, Lan Li should have voted for "Drunken Country Ballads", so reporters can further ask questions:
Is it because of the split votes of "Drunken Country Ballad" that it affected the ascent of "gravity"? If so, will Lan Li feel regretful, and what do Alfonso and the "Gravity" crew think about such a result? If not, then how did "12 Years of Slavery" defeat "gravity"? Does it rely purely on the race card? So, is such an Oscar still fair?
A small problem, but there are countless possible directions, I have to say, reporters are definitely prepared.
