The hustle and bustle of the Oscars ended, and the focus was boiling, among them, Lan Li's name almost disappeared, and everyone seemed to have forgotten about this hot rising star in the past six months, and Lan Li could not be found in the mainstream media reports. The mobile phone has no ads, and it saves the most data.

The Seattle Post is an exception, though. The editorial, written by Eli Wallach, under the headline "The Oscar Crisis," delves into the plight that Oscar is facing in his old age.

“…… The fundamental reason why the Oscars can stand on the top of the world and become the world's most watched film festival lies in their core ideas since their establishment: to constantly explore and explore the peak of film art, to seek the resonance between film and life, society, life and the world, to find a perfect balance between business and art, and to truly evolve the seventh art into a cultural phenomenon that will go down in history and be remembered for centuries......

…… But now, Oscar is gradually reduced to a PR game, losing its soul and losing its direction......

On top of this year's Oscars, he received his first nomination for the rookie actor Lan Li Hall with his superb performance of 'Buried Alive', but he was unexpectedly absent from the grand ceremony of the awards ceremony. It's not hype, it's not arrogance, but it's dedicated and single-minded in acting, which truly interprets the essence of the profession of 'actor'.

But the ridiculous thing is that the major media outlets have misrepresented Hall's true intentions, believing that this is nothing more than a public relations show. Pathologically, it is not the media, but the Oscars, because this film's top award, which once bravely rewarded 'Midnight/Cow/Lang', 'Drive for Miss Daisy', and 'No Country for Old Men', has lost its courage and determination, and has gradually degenerated into a well-groomed mathematical problem.

For Oscar, Hall's absence is their loss, not Hall's. Regrettably, Hall isn't the only talent the academy has lost. ”

Eli's pen strokes examine this year's Oscars from a different perspective, and the core theme is actually no different from the mainstream media such as the "Hollywood Reporter", the same is condemning the Oscars, and the same is expressing suffocation and regret, but Eli goes a step further and believes that the Oscars are losing their foothold.

The absence of Lan Li Hall is Eli's biggest regret.

Obviously, with the excellent performance of three consecutive works, Lan Li has won the love of some media, and his professionalism, dedication and talent as an actor have still received some recognition. This is really valuable for newcomers. The Seattle Post, though not a top media outlet, still has some influence on the West Coast, and Eli's feature is eye-catching, but not too noisy.

"David Fincher has been absent for most of the awards season to prepare for his next film, and Christopher Nolan has been dedicating some of the best commercial films of the 21st century, 'Batman: The Dark Knight' and 'Inception,' but has not even been nominated for Best Director.

Lisa Charlodenko's efforts have been ignored, and the awards season has been hampered by her status as a female director, while Mike Lee has ignored the Oscars on a daily basis, and after winning his seventh nomination, he still has no idea about coming to the United States to attend the awards ceremony.

Roger Deakins' ninth nomination was still hard to come by, and Hans Zimmer was elusive about the entire awards season, and Hans Zimmer got into the soundtrack of 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4' early.

…… When those talented filmmakers have lost interest in the Oscars, and when those conscientious filmmakers have gradually become marginal figures of the Oscars, the academy is facing not only the fear of the lack of stars in the awards ceremony, but also the disaster of the lack of quality, authority, and depth of the Oscars......

The awards ceremony came to an end, but no one again mentioned the absence of Blue Gift Hall, and no one again mentioned David Fincher's silence. This is a failure for Oscar. ”

After the Oscars ended, all kinds of news reports competed for beauty, and the "Seattle Post" was not a top media in the first place, and the focus of their gathering was naturally very limited, this editorial did not cause much discussion, but it received a lot of approval and recognition within Hollywood.

In the midst of the crusades, praises, discussions, and excitement, the "Seattle Post" published its views in a different way and successfully occupied a place.

If the "Seattle Post" pays attention to the Blue Rite is only incidental, and the core theme is the Oscar, then in an article on the "Billboard", the Blue Rite is the protagonist.

As we all know, "Billboard" is a music magazine through and through, publishing information about the music industry, but in fact, this magazine often publishes some movie news, but the professionalism and authority are not high, and the entertainment is not as good as "Entertainment Weekly", "America Weekly", "Vanity Fair" and the like, and its influence is very limited.

"Billboard" makes a very interesting point in the article, "The Behemoth is hibernating".

They believe that Lan Li's absence from the Oscars has entered a short dormant period, temporarily away from the public eye, which is actually a good thing. Because in this way, Lan Li can devote himself to the filming of "I Fight Cancer".

This comedy, which has not been reported in any news before, is now attracting a lot of attention and attracting a lot of attention, and the cast also includes Seth Rogen, who has been in the red in recent years, which also means that the film's results are worth looking forward to, and it is likely to be a box office success.

This is of extraordinary significance.

Of the four works Lan Li has starred in so far, "Pacific War" is a TV series, "Buried Alive" and "Love is Crazy" are independent films that are difficult to break through at the box office, and "Fast and Thrill/Love 5" is only the third leading role. Although "Buried Alive" unexpectedly achieved a good box office and made a small profit, strictly speaking, Lan Li has not yet handed over any worth mentioning in terms of commercial box office, and people's impression of Lan Li comes more from the strength of the performance.

If Lan Li insists on taking the literary route and becomes an actor like Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, and Ethan Hawke who focuses on small-budget independent films, it is not impossible, but the problem is that Lan Li is only twenty-one years old now!

Lan Li's acting career is still long, long, and it is impossible for him to stick to a small field and refuse any bold attempts, even Daniel Day-Lewis has tried song and dance movies like "Nine", and Sean Penn has also made guest appearances in sitcoms such as "Friends" and "Two and a Half Heroes". Therefore, Lanli is bound to seek more possibilities.

Now, "Fighting Cancer" will be the first commercial work in which Lanli plays the leading role in the real sense, and its performance at the box office is bound to be worth looking forward to, which will have a huge impact on Lanli's future career planning.

Not only that, but the next "Fast and Excitement/Emotion 5" is also about to meet the audience. At that time, Lan Li will be the third protagonist and show his skills in this commercial blockbuster. is different from the shocking courage of acting, in action movies, it is more about the agile posture and personal charm of the actors.

For "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars", Harrison Ford's significance lies in his personal temperament that combines elegance and ruggedness, shining on the big screen, and Tom Cruise's significance for "Mission Impossible" and "Top Gun" lies in his personal handsome, fragile, energetic and flamboyant charm, conquering countless audiences.

The same goes for Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Keanu Reeves, and many more.

To put it simply, this is an important test of the actor's charm. is not only the box office appeal, but also a comprehensive test of audience awareness, commercial promotion, and social influence, not everyone can become Tom Hanks, there are often "stars", but "top superstars" may not be able to produce one for ten years.

"'Fast & Thrill/Emotion 5' and 'Cancer-Fighting Me' will be important touchstones, and after dedicating two consecutive high-quality independent works, Lanli will be tested at the box office for the first time. Now Lan Li is like a dormant beast, waiting for the winter to pass, reawaken, and then meet a new challenge. ”

This is the epilogue of the article "Billboard". In just one article, you can get a glimpse of what they expect from Lan Li.

In fact, at the moment when the Oscars have just ended, the only thing that can compete with it in terms of momentum is the summer file.

The entire North American film market system is very mature and perfect, and the summer season can be called the top priority of the year, but its changes are related to the whole body and the entire industry. In 2004, the college decided to hold the Oscars one month earlier, from the end of March to the end of February, which also led to a major reshuffle in the industry, and the summer season was directly increased from June to May.

Now the summer season recognized in the Hollywood industry starts from the second weekend of May, to be precise, that is, the weekend when Arbor Day begins.

For no other reason, after the Oscars ended, March and April are still the depression period of the spring file, and major companies will release some works in advance to warm up the market, in addition, the works that have won the Oscars will also become the biggest winners of this schedule. After the market recovers, the summer competition will start in May.

After the Oscars, there are only nine weeks left before the opening of the summer file. The attention of "Billboard" is still somewhat premature, but it is not surprising.

This year's summer file will kick off with the shining debut of "Thor", this superhero movie adapted from the comic book can definitely be called highly anticipated, and the early publicity of major media has high hopes, and the production company Paramount is even more energetic to carry out publicity;

Universal Pictures seems to have little confidence in the production, deliberately avoiding the limelight of the summer season, choosing to land first in the first week of May. Then "Thor" unveiled the summer file, and the two works are bound to have a dragon fight.

After the giant beast is dormant and awakens from hibernation, what kind of scenery awaits ahead?
