1367 A hug
The Tony trophy is quietly placed on the kitchen counter, next to the three trophies of the Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy.
There are torn bags of potato chips and cut fruit platters around, and a handful of flowers are placed upside down, without the inlay and embellishment of the window, and there is no attention and surroundment of lights, revealing a strong breath of life, which looks like a replica just bought from the supermarket, and is placed on the dining table casually, ready to be left for children as props for school projects.
That's what makes the whole of North America crazy.
In fact, such a life-like picture not only does not make people feel blasphemous and insulted, but reveals a different kind of sacred atmosphere-
When performance becomes an integral part of life, when the stage becomes an extension of life, then trophies and accolades become a corner of reality. They are important, but not the most important, the work and the character, the performance and the art are.
It may sound like a clichΓ© and a lie, and it is even full of hypocrisy, but it is what it is.
The party is still going on, but without the staggering and glittering of Vanity Fair, everything seems simple and warm.
There was talk of tonight's incredible, and until Charlotte revealed the answer, no one expected such an outcome, and the courage shown by the American Theater Association was truly admirable.
Some people are discussing the Lan Li version of "Les Miserables", and after actually watching the performance versions of different actors, their perceptions and perceptions are completely different, which is really a very special experience.
Some people complain that Hollywood is now upside down, and the kind of jealousy and complaining scenes can be clearly depicted, and then Lan Li should encounter the collective exclusion of actors in Hollywood.
As they spoke, some people chatted about the works they were watching, movies, TV or other things, and then shared their gains and insights, and even couldn't wait to start rummaging through the shelves of Lan Li, just like Captain Jack Sparrow had come to the treasure of the Caribbean, and his eyes began to glow.
It's not like a celebration party, it's more like a gathering of intellectuals or lovers of the same interests in Greenwich Village, New York, such as a book club, and every conversation is always rewarding. The only difference is that alcohol is no longer polite, and a party without alcohol and music is not a party.
Rooney Mara and Jake Gyllenhaal and Felicity Jones nodded and pushed open the balcony window door to get some fresh air outside, and she needed to cool her brain a little bit now under the dual effects of alcohol and debate, otherwise it would not work.
"Where's your wine glass?" Suddenly, a low voice came from behind him, startling Rooney, who turned around sharply, and then saw Lan Li sitting cross-legged in the corner.
"God!" Rooney couldn't help but exclaim, but this made the smile on Lan Li's lips rise slightly. Then Rooney caught the smugness in Lan Li's eyes, secretly grinded her teeth, and poked Lan Li's knee with her toes, "Hey, that's how you entertain guests?
Lan Li shrugged his shoulders slightly, "It's called being unconventional. β
"I thought you didn't care about being different, your very existence is self-assertion. Rooney quipped.
Lan Li let out a soft sigh of disappointment, "Oh, it's over, my trick has now been unraveled, the magic is gone, I know that I shouldn't drink, alcohol always makes people inadvertently show their truest and ugliest side." β
Rooney knew that Lan Li was joking, that serious ability to talk nonsense, always able to confuse the truth, but at this time Rooney paused for a moment and said with a serious expression, "However, even if I see the most real and ugliest side, I still like it." β
Joke to joke.
Rooney originally planned to use her "confession" to make Lan Li embarrassed, but unexpectedly, Lan Li did not refute, but looked at Rooney with a smile, those clear eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist because of alcohol, and there was a light flush around the eye sockets, faintly revealing a hint of / charm / state.
This kind of blue gift is really too unfamiliar.
In an instant, Rooney's ridicule was reflected back, projected on herself, she immediately became embarrassed, under Lan Li's gaze, her cheeks began to heat slightly, the kind of confusion and shyness was really irrepressible, and she could only mumble in her mouth, "Huh, where's my whiskey?"
However, Lan Li still didn't speak, nor did she look away, just stared at Rooney quietly, the temperature of her eyes smeared a layer of blush on her cheeks little by little, Rooney's heart was still popping and jumping, and after being shy and cramped to the extreme, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and gently bit her lower lip.
"What's so beautiful, haven't you seen such a beautiful young lady?" Rooney herself didn't notice, and there was a hint of coquettishness and shyness between her words.
The smile revealed from the depths of Lan Li's hazy eyes, slowly stained the corners of his mouth, and finally raised slightly, "Yes, I haven't seen it." β
Such a frank answer made Rooney slightly stunned for a moment, and looked at Lan Li incredulously, helpless and funny, shy and heartbroken. There were many thoughts in my mind, but I still didn't say it after all, just quietly looked back at Lan Li, and finally laughed happily and sighed softly, "I finally know what it means to be the sexiest/sexy man in the world now." β
Lan Li shrugged generously and accepted the praise with dignity.
This also made Rooney laugh out loud, shaking her head again and again, with a helpless look on her face.
After laughing, Rooney curled the corners of her mouth a little and asked seriously, "Are you still out of breath now?"
In the phone call just now, in fact, Rooney understood what Lan Li meant at the first time, but all of them were preparing for the party, anxiously waiting for Lan Li's return, all eyes were fixed on Rooney who was on the phone, those words were really unspeakable, and it was not the best time to talk.
In order to avoid showing her feet, Rooney pretended to understand something and brought it over perfunctorily.
The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth paused slightly, his eyes quietly softened, and he bowed slightly, "Well, it's okay now." But I still needed a little space, so I sneaked out. After a moment's pause, Lan Li continued, "I'm a lucky person, I have trophies that no one else can imagine in their lifetimes, and I have friends that no one else can find in their lifetimes. What more could I ask for?"
"Absolutely. You deserve better. Rooney said softly, the sound of the wind in the middle of the night echoed softly in his ears, even the moonlight became gentle, Rooney lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the surge of his mood, "You should continue to persevere, you know, the reason why Dave Van Lunk is Dave Van Lunk, not Bob Dylan, is because he has never changed." β
"I think times are changing, and we need to learn to change in order to keep up with the times. The smile on Lan Li's lips rose again.
Rooney nodded in affirmation, "There are some things that really need to be changed, otherwise they will be eliminated by the times, but there are some things that are destined not to be changed, because it is the faith that sustains our lives and dreams." Sometimes, we need that kind of silly courage. As she spoke, Rooney's eyes also showed a bright smile, and her mood became happy.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. After a moment of silence, Lan Li said sincerely, "I need some friends. Tonight. β
Rooney didn't speak, because she understood this feeling, just like Seattle two years ago, like a lifesaver, she found Lan Li, firmly, firmly grasped.
The moonlight fell on Lan Li's shoulders, faintly outlining a touch of loneliness and loneliness, and the hardships and tiredness after the long journey slowly seeped out, which reminded Rooney of herself two years ago, so she stepped forward, squatted down in front of Lan Li, opened her arms, and gave Lan Li a big hug.
Lan Li was slightly surprised. He was still not used to hugging, and his muscles stiffened slightly.
Rooney seemed to sense Lan Li's stiffness and clumsiness, but she didn't let go, her arms were slightly folded, and she couldn't help but chuckle, and whispered in Lan Li's ear, "Don't worry, I didn't mean to." It's just that...... I think you need a hug, a warm hug, not a celebration or a congratulations, just a hug. β
Lan Li's expression was stunned, and then he released it slightly, "Are you hinting that I should give you a hug when I was in Seattle?"
"Hey, you actually heard me?" Rooney quipped playfully.
Then Rooney let go of her embrace, looked at Lan Li closely, and said with a smile, "You know that this is the real beginning, you can play the role as you want, you can choose the script according to your wishes, just like Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen now, but at the same time, people are expecting more and more from you." So, your own artistic path has just begun. β
"Remember, you said that the key to defining an actor is always the work. Does that mean that I can start looking forward to your future work right now?" Rooney said with a glimpse of emotion, not waiting for Lan Li's answer, just blinking, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and then stood up and turned to leave the balcony.
Lan Li remained in place, paused for a moment, and then the smile slowly bloomed, and he raised his head, bathed in the white moonlight, and his tight shoulder line slowly relaxed.
Rooney pressed her back against the other side of the balcony wall, her knees were a little weak, her muscles trembled a little, the feeling of numbness and excitement was like a thousand butterflies flapping their wings under her lower abdomen, she couldn't believe that she really looked into Lan Li's eyes and said those words, and even her heart began to tremble slightly.
