Olivia Coleman, in the 2018 awards season, with the "darling" directed by Ogles, first won the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival, and then soared all the way, defeating Glenn-Close, who was nominated for the seventh time but never won the award at the Oscars.

Not only because "Beloved" is only Olivia's first Oscar nomination, but also because before "Beloved", Olivia was really rarely familiar with the audience.

But in fact, in the UK, Olivia's popularity in the field of TV dramas and dramas is extraordinary, especially the reputation of industry insiders is very good.

The actor, born in Norfolk, England, has a father who is a Royal Chartered Surveyor and a nurse mother, is shy and introverted, ordinary and mediocre in appearance, and has suffered from anorexia for a long time because of her lack of confidence in her body - even now, she still has no confidence in her chubby body, especially after giving birth to her first child, she once struggled with postpartum depression, and life was very difficult.

Olivia's family was not ordinary – she attended a private secondary school but was not wealthy, and she spent her teenage years moving in a bumpy way, and she worked her way up to Cambridge University, where she expected to become a primary school teacher, and at Cambridge she became interested in acting and met her future husband, Ed-Sinclair, in an amateur drama club.

Ed, who studied law, became a writer instead of a lawyer, and Olivia didn't become an elementary school teacher, and after only one semester of school, she decided to take a break from school to give herself some time and try to become a real actress – in a way, Olivia and Lan Li are on the same path.

Her mother advised her to give herself a year of trial and error, and she gave herself 10 years.

After taking a leave of absence, Olivia studied at Cambridge's amateur drama club and then at the Old Vic Theatre in Bristol, where she began her career as an actress, but she spent almost two decades in obscurity.

She once starred in commercials, she once lived in the attic of a friend's house, she once looked for coins from the cracks in the sofa to buy potatoes to satisfy her hunger, she also worked as a cleaner for a long time, and her hungry life lasted for a long, long time, until 2010, when the TV series "Troubled Priest" opened the situation, which won her the opportunity to perform in the work "Tyrannosaurus" - The film won the 2011 Sundance Special Jury Prize for Olivia's performance with lead actor Peter Mullan, and the following year it won the British Academy Award for Best Homegrown Outstanding Debut Film.

This became an important turning point in Olivia's career as an actress.

"2012" in 2011, "Accusation" in 2012, and "Small Town Suspicion" in 2013, three years, three TV series, and three steps have brought her to the peak of her career, and she can really be called a household name, fame and fortune;

Olivia's achievements in the field of TV dramas are unbelievable compared to movies, and she later appeared in series such as "Night Manager", "The Crown", "Life in London", "Les Miserables" and other dramas, and every role in each work can be unanimously praised by the industry, and she is undoubtedly one of the most important TV actors in the second decade of the 21st century in the United Kingdom.

If it's Hollywood, TV actors will more or less try to move into the film field after they have become famous, and whether they can succeed or not is another matter, but in the UK, TV dramas have a unique position, and the transformation of TV actors into film actors does exist, but it is not a common phenomenon.

Olivia did not take the initiative to try, although she did appear in a few film works, but they were not the genre that can be seen in the mainstream market, and she still insisted on enjoying the joy of acting in her own comedy - some people say that this is called staying in her own comfort zone, refusing to be motivated and refusing to change, while others say that this is called constantly polishing in her professional field and seeking her own breakthrough.

In Lan Li's opinion, Olivia belongs to the latter.

The work "Lobster" is a small attempt by Olivia in the field of film, which still continues her consistent style, choosing a supporting role, giving the character a unique charm with her own performance style in a limited space, and then silently blooming with the light exclusive to the character.

For Lan Li, the most anticipated thing about the filming of "Lobster" this time is the cooperation with Olivia - not because Olivia later won the Oscar, but because Olivia's comedy performance style is very, very skillful, showing a unique performance temperament, which also makes Lan Li extremely looking forward to performing together, especially the rival play, and looking forward to making more attempts in his comedy performance.

But I didn't expect that after the first meeting, a simple conversation left a deep impression on Olivia, and the wisdom revealed in her gestures showed the precipitation and accumulation after the years, exuding a unique charming charm from the inside out.

Now Lan Li can vaguely understand how Olivia completed the Jedi reversal with Glenn Cross's momentum and voice leading in the future awards season of the previous life, and she really showed an interesting soul, and it is difficult not to be liked in the academy's public relations.

“…… I'm more than happy to show the interesting soul of the character in front of the movie camera. Lan Li's response caused Olivia to laugh heartily.

She made a choking expression, "Then it's a pity, the audience should get to know you for real, I think they'll like it." ”

"What do you like?" the wind sent a cheerful voice, faintly with a little excitement.

Olivia turned her head, and Lan Li also raised her chin at the sound, and then she could see Léa Seydoux with short blond hair walking from the direction of the hotel, "We've been observing inside for a long time, but you seem to be stuck here and can't move, are you waiting for the sun to come out?"

Olivia said meaningfully, "We're debating what kind of girl would fall for the sake of Lord Lanli-Hall. As she spoke, her gaze moved meaningfully back and forth between Leia and Lan Li, suggesting that it couldn't be more obvious, but her eyes were very hidden, and there was no sense of gossip at all, but a little mischievous joke.

Léa Seydoux, who had a relationship with her in Cannes last year, is a new generation of French actresses who became famous for "The Life of Adele", in fact, she has already starred in "Midnight in Paris", "Mission Impossible 4", "Inglourious Basterds" and other works, and also starred in "The Grand Budapest Hotel" last year.

As the granddaughter of the chairman of the old French film company Baidai, and the niece and granddaughter of the chairman of the Gaumont film company, Léa can be described as a typical third generation of stars, completely from an acting family, but she still looks for performance opportunities on a down-to-earth basis, hoping to truly polish the edges and corners of her acting skills.

Sensing Olivia's eyes, Leia and Lan Li exchanged glances, and then both laughed - Lei has a stable boyfriend outside the circle, and Lan Li has also confirmed a relationship with Rooney, although they don't know each other's private lives, but they really don't call each other.

Such a frank and straightforward reaction made Olivia, who was teasing a little, a little uncomfortable, and she immediately realized that she might have guessed wrong, but she didn't panic, and said with a smile, "Obviously, I should add the boy option." ”

Such a witty reaction caused both Lan Li and Leia to laugh heartily.

"Hey, you're going to be raining, and if you don't come in, you're probably going to be denied entry by the hotel." ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Ben Whisshaw was not able to hold back his patience after all, and took the initiative to come out and greet him. Obviously, Lan Li and Olivia stood at the door for so long without moving, and the actors and crew members in the hotel were a little overwhelmed.

Lan Li stretched out her right hand to Olivia again, this time Olivia did not refuse again, handed the suitcase to Lan Li, smiled and said "thank you", and then the three of them walked towards the hotel door a dozen steps away.

Ben Whisshaw gave Olivia a warm hug - Whisshaw, who is also active in the field of British TV dramas, is obviously an acquaintance of Olivia, and Whisshaw and Léa have just collaborated on "007: Spectre", and the two are no strangers, only Lan Li is meeting for the first time.

"I hope you're not talking about my tardiness, or I'll be embarrassed. Lan Li took the initiative to say - the other actors have already arrived, and now it seems that Lan Li is indeed the actor who has arrived at the crew in the countdown.

Lan Li defused the atmosphere of the scene in this way, and Whishaw couldn't help laughing, "No, we are discussing how Ogles trained the parking lot boy with obsessive-compulsive disorder, is it a coincidence, or is it his royal staff?"

Like Olivia and Léa, Whisshaw is also a well-known name in the industry, before entering the field of television and film, he has been rolling in the theater circle for several years, relying on the role of Hamlet to make a name, "perfume" in 2006 brought him into the public eye, and then "Richard II", "Cloud Atlas", "007: Skyfall" and "Paddington Bear", which made him successfully earn a place in the film industry.

From here, you can get a glimpse of the appearance of the entire "Lobster" crew - this is a crew with solid acting skills, and at the same time, each actor has a certain reputation and popularity in his own field! This should be another crew with heavy stars after "Interstellar".
