"Lan Li-Hall: Is he a genius in the spotlight, or a madman behind the scenes?"

Bradley Adams wrote this article himself, capturing a clip from the morning of the interview from a distinctively delicate perspective, and entering the Blue Rite as a reader and as a viewer, trying to capture the more real Blue Rite outside the camera. This is not a news report of objective facts, nor is it an editorial or depth of opinion and position, it is more akin to a "People" weekly-style interview, but with the sensitivity and profundity characteristic of the "New York Times".

The article was published on the front page of the Sunday page of the New York Times, and also occupied an important position on the front page, reminding readers of the blockbuster of the entertainment page;

This is a blue gift that ordinary audiences have never understood, and this is the first blue gift shown in front of people after the Oscar unexpectedly won, compared to the previous interview with "Empire" magazine, the "New York Times" went further, directly mentioned the Oscar statuette, and asked Lan Li's feelings and thoughts.

"It's an award, an incredibly important one, but it's not all there is to the actors, and likewise, it's not all there is to life. It's as if you're back on the stage in London's West End, where the challenges are still there, and the slightest negligence can lead to disaster. ”

This is Lan Li's answer, which sounds like a routine, after being designed by agents and publicists, but the young actor who is only 22 years old is very convincing. Because before words, he had already proved his point with practical actions.

At the same time, this article is also the first official interview with Lan Li after the revelation of the aristocratic identity, Bradley did give positive attention, but he interpreted it in depth from another angle.

In fact, since the birth of the "Pacific War", speculation about Lan Li's background has never stopped, and only in the awards season that ended not long ago, the Weinstein brothers also used this to create smoke bombs and constantly splash dirty water on Lan Li's body.

Born in an entertainment family, born in a wealthy family, or the illegitimate child of a bigwig in the industry, all kinds of malicious speculations are becoming more and more outrageous and numerous. The reason is not difficult to guess, on the one hand, because the upward momentum of Lan Li is really too fast, like a parachute, and on the other hand, because there are many people who are popular, envy and jealousy are inevitable.

First the Emmys, then Sundance, then the Golden Globe nominations and Oscar nominations, and every work, literally every work, was rave reviews, as if all the critics had agreed in advance, and in just one year, it was already at the top of the industry, and the doubts that came with it naturally became more and more surging.

However, after the "hype gate", through the "Don Quixote", through the "Les Miserables" in London's West End, the controversy is gradually calming down, and those malicious speculations are slowly dissipating.

Instead, the name "Lanli-Hall" is becoming a brand, representing strength, quality, and excellence, and every work performed by Lanli has been loved by the audience, "Speed and Excitement/Emotion 5" is the first start, step by step to the "Edge of Tomorrow", the original intention of word-of-mouth and box office is the best portrayal.

However, all of a sudden, it was revealed that Lan Li's true background was revealed - he did have a great background, but all netizens guessed wrong, and it was far more high-energy and outrageous than their guesses, which was incredible.

Hereditary baron, a true English aristocratic origin.

Not power, not money, not connections, but glory, the most unlikely and top option of all life speculation.

Even ordinary people who have no concept of the royal family and the aristocracy know that for the aristocracy, the profession of an actor is never the best choice, they never aspire to the spotlight, on the contrary, they will actively avoid the spotlight. Back then, part of the conflict between Queen Elizabeth and Princess Diana came from Princess Diana's close proximity, as well as the continuous exposure of the media.

Now, Lan Li has become an actor in the opposite direction, and not only a stage actor in London's West End, but also a top superstar in Hollywood. Not to mention the aristocracy, even European intellectuals and artists have a deep hatred for the glitz and superficiality of Hollywood, and Lan Li's behavior can be said to be contrary to the world.

Shock, that's the real shock. Those malicious speculations, those vicious criticisms, and those self-interpretations have become pale in the face of the truth of the matter.

The New York Times cleverly avoided these focal points and hot spots, and Bradley spoke more intelligently about Lan Li's career choices.

About the album, about social networks, about the film, about the performance, every detail can be seen that this young man is doing everything to realize his dream, the dream of becoming an artist, and he is unswervingly walking on this path with his talent and hard work. Burdened with family pressure and accusations from the outside world, his footsteps have never stopped.

This is a familiar blue ceremony, but it is also a blue ceremony that people misunderstand.

The report from "Empire" magazine revealed the secret of Lan Li's background, while the report from the "New York Times" revealed the truth beyond his background.

As a result, the whole network exploded violently, everyone joined the discussion, doubts and speculations, criticism and jealousy still exist objectively and cannot be eliminated, but exclamations and praises, exclamations and admiration occupy the absolute mainstream, and swept away with unstoppable force.

The physical sales of The New York Times, the click-through rate of the New York Times, the popularity of Twitter threads, and the number of likes on Instagram, all of which are popular, are the highest since 2012, but none of these numbers compare to a new topic on social networks.

"Lan Li is an actor".

This is a topic, a topic that followed the craze, although there is no evidence, but it is recognized by Don Quixote that it should have been initiated by "Brando Mania" on Facebook, which reads in the text:

"Popularity, awards, strength, wealth, honors, fame. All that an ordinary person can desire, the young master has already obtained, he is a well-deserved winner in life, and now, people are even more amazed by his background, envy and admiration, everywhere, as if he already has the whole world. But for him, he was always an actor. 'I'm ready to go back to the stage in London's West End and concentrate on the next show'. #蓝礼是一名演员#"

The main reason why I chose Facebook over Twitter or Instagram is because the text is so long. However, the effect was the same, in less than 48 hours, the topic of "Lan Li is an actor" began to spread on major social networks, and successfully surpassed the two topics of "Edge of Tomorrow" and "Another Light" to reach the top of the global trending topic list.

Every Don Quixote couldn't wait to share their stories, the pleasures at the Berlin Film Festival, the exchange of moviegoers at the Sundance Film Festival, the attentive listening at the entrance of the Almeida Theater, the spectators at the public filming set, and even the unexpected conversations on the plane...... Countless, truly countless.

This is an event, but also a sharing, everyone shares their own stories, and then I realize that outside of the image of the media, Lan Li has never changed, he is so real and so focused. Facts speak louder than words, this is not a public relations ploy, nor a marketing strategy, but the spontaneous sharing of netizens, but it is pieced together to be more vivid and true.

The unexpected gain is that outside of Lan Li's work, people gradually discover another side of Lan Li.

For example, he is keen on surfing, but his skills are always inferior to Paul Walker's Blue Gift, for example, when standing in the center of Times Square, he will get lost, for example, he secretly runs to the Grand Canyon to hike during his vacation and lies in the campsite like a homeless man, for example, he always loves to sleep during the flight and sleeps lazily, and for example, even if he is sick or unwell, he always shows gentlemanly manners and treats fans and audiences kindly.

A small fragment, a few strokes to outline the image of "Lan Li-Hall" in real life.

This is a characteristic of the Internet age, where social networks provide platforms that allow every ordinary user to become the best witness, where rumors and slanders are always countless, fake news and fake news are everywhere, but at the same time, public figures have nothing to hide, lies will eventually be exposed, and the truth will eventually be revealed.

This hot topic gradually has more and more participants, and the craze lasts far beyond imagination, starting in June and continuing until the end of August, after the end of the summer season, it gradually cooled down and calmed down.

For ordinary netizens, this is a window to understand Lanli, and it is also a channel to get close to Lanli, which makes them understand Lanli more comprehensively.

Indeed, the hereditary baron's background is enviable, but at the same time, it also makes people yearn for it, and it makes people look forward to it, as an actor, Lan Li is gaining more and more recognition and support, and the market appeal has shown an incredible upward curve.

All of them are concentrated in the summer box office of "Edge of Tomorrow".
