"Maybe one day, I can be Henry-Fonda. It's a wish. ”

"Henry Fonda? Are you sure? I think Marlon Brando or Daniel Day Lewis would be the better choice. ”

In the face of Bradley's ridicule, Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "I will choose a positive perspective to interpret it." ”

Bradley couldn't help but laugh and replied meaningfully, "In my opinion, it's positive from every angle. I have always stood by your side, so trust me. ”

It's a little joke, a real-life allusion from Hollywood.

Henry Fonda, a generation of celebrities, has been on Broadway and Hollywood for more than 50 years, dedicating a series of classic masterpieces such as "The Great Duel in the Wilderness", "War and Peace", "Once Upon a Time in the West", "Twelve Angry Men", "Golden Pond", "Grapes of Wrath", "Red Shirt Tears", etc., and even because of his five marriages, Hollywood gave birth to an acting family, and the surname "Fonda" has a strong and far-reaching appeal.

Henry Fonda holds a not-so-pleasant record, though: he holds the record holder for the longest time in Oscar history from initial nomination to final winning.

He was nominated for the first time in 1940 at the age of 35, and in 1981 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded Henry the Best Honor Award, and the following year Golden Pond won the award again after winning the nomination again, a gap of 42 years.

The reason why Lan Li mentioned Henry Fonda was actually complaining to himself.

After EGOT, the entire Hollywood is bound to be full of vigilance and rejection of Lan Li, not to mention winning the award again in a short period of time, it may be extremely difficult to even nominate it, because Lan Li has reached the peak at a young age, which is challenging the limits of the entire industry, and then it can't continue to go uphill, but can only start to go downhill.

Judging from the historical record, Tom Hanks, for example, in the next few years, the name "Blue Gift Hall" may only be a theoretical hot topic during the awards season, and the discussion is rolling in, but it only blossoms and does not bear fruit, and most of the nominations are completely missed - they need to make Blue Gift "calm and calm".

So, Lan Li mentioned Henry - after forty-two years, he could win the award again. For Lan Li himself, he also expressed an open-minded and calm attitude, after all, he has won the award once now, and he has just completed the EGOT, and he really does not have too much urgent thirst/hope for the award. It's all about participation.

But Bradley brought up Marlon Brando and Daniel Day Lewis.

The reason is simple, Henry was nominated for the first time and won the award for the first time, forty-two years ago, and Lan Li is now a little gold man in his hands, so the analogy is naturally inapplicable, and Malone and Daniel are more appropriate metaphors.

In the long history of history, only nine actors have managed to win two Oscars for Best Actor, and Malone and Daniel are among them - Daniel became the only actor to be the only actor to win the best actor three times earlier this year, and the special thing is that the two actors are tied for the longest time between the first and second awards.

Marlon Brando, who won the first prize for "The Dock" in 1954 and "The Godfather" in 1972, Daniel Day Lewis won the first prize for "My Left Foot" in 1989 and the second time for "The Blood Is Coming" in 2007. There was a gap of 18 years between the two awards.

Undoubtedly, Bradley's metaphor is more appropriate, but it contains two meanings, one is to ridicule Lan Li for having to wait eighteen years to wait for his second little golden man, and the other is to praise Lan Li for reaching the height of Malone or Daniel, and truly become a top actor in history.

So, Lan Li made such an answer.

In the midst of laughter, Lan Li and Bradley left the bustling location of Times Square and walked along the street, all the way in the direction of the down/downtown, not sitting down, but strolling around the city like friends.

"It's like Manhattan. Bradley teased half-jokingly.

This is a classic Woody Allen romance movie, walking through Manhattan, but outlining the life of the middle class and the emotional outlook on love in the chatter.

Lan Li chuckled, "You should use this line in a dating situation." ”

"Ha, none of my dates understand Woody Allen. Bradley shrugged regretfully.

Lan Li didn't refute either, "Not many people understand Woody Allen. By the way, not long ago, I met Ronan Farrow. The unexpected mention of Woody Allen awakens Lan Li's memory.

Bradley bowed his head slightly, and there was a meaningful look in his eyes, "He's a smart lad. Next, I am going to study at the University of Oxford. ”

"It is foreseeable that there will be another important figure in New York in the future. Lan Li said with a finish.

Bradley couldn't help but wonder, "Coming back to the topic, you mean, you don't have any expectations for this year's awards season? I mean, 'Drunken Country Ballad' just won Best Actor at Cannes, and obviously, your performance has been recognized again, and you definitely can't be ignored at the end of the year." ”

"It's not up to me, is it?" Lan Li retorted calmly, then smiled, "To be honest, I didn't expect the development curve of the awards season at all, let alone winning the award. So far, none of my work is strictly an awards season film, 'Drunken Country Folk' is a young film that takes a huge risk, and neither Joel nor Ethan nor I think it will make a difference during awards season. ”

"And what about 'gravity,'" Bradley asked.

"I was told that it was an 'Avatar,' and although I didn't agree with it, it's safe to say that the most exciting and important thing about this movie is Alfonso Cuarón, not me. More than awards, I hope that this film will do well at the box office, because it is a work that is well worth watching in the cinema, and the visual effects are not experienced by videotapes. Lan Li made a sincere recommendation.

"Are you promoting it now?"

"Sort of. Wait, is Warner Bros. set?"

"Not yet. ”

"That's not propaganda. We can wait a little longer. ”

The back-and-forth quick answers made the conversation between Lan Li and Bradley feel free, and the New York Times reporter then asked, "You mean, when you choose works, you don't deliberately choose awards season-oriented works, is that why you and the Weinstein brothers never worked together?"

I have to say that Bradley's questioning method is professional and cunning enough, and he showed his edge quietly, and instantly asked one of the most intriguing questions in the past two years-

In fact, people in the industry have more or less heard of the contradiction between Lan Li and Harvey Weinstein, not to mention that Harvey also blatantly released cruel words in private, which is not a secret at all to those well-informed reporters;

So, Bradley just brought it up and tentatively looked at Lan Li's reaction. Even if it is actually published, it will not be harmful, but it can cause readers to discuss and explore.

"Well, obviously the reason why we haven't worked together so far is not just because of this one reason. Bradley quietly threw a bait over, but Lan Li didn't mind, and responded generously, seemingly vague words, but in fact they were meaningful, but they didn't have an in-depth conversation, understatement but far-reaching aftertaste, readers who really understand the internal situation of the industry are bound to be able to sniff out the cat.

Bradley is ingenious, while Lan Li is wise, and the back and forth interviews are exciting, which is why Lan Li is always very popular when he appears on talk shows, and does not dwell too much on the same topic, Lan Li then said, "But it's true, every time I choose a work, the awards season is not the first consideration, I am still trying to learn and grow." Of course, part of the reason is that I'm not old enough to be in a biographical film. ”

Biographical movies are the big hits of the awards season, typical Oscar-based works, but most of the protagonists who are worth shooting biographies are over 30 years old, because such a legendary life is worth filming. In comparison, Lan Li is not necessarily suitable.

In the face of Lan Li's self-complaining, Bradley also raised the corners of his mouth, "What about this 'burst drummer'? Many people think that this is also an attempt to work in the awards season." ”

"It's good to be able to go into awards season like 'Winter's Bones' or 'Little Sunshine Beauty'. It's a boost for the entire independent film industry. "But in the ideation and execution phase, the awards season is not our goal, but to present the stories and ideas that Damien Chazelle has in mind, and that's what it is." ”

Bradley had a few other questions on his mind, about the awards season, about Weinstein, about "Popping Drummers" or "Drunken Country Balk", and there were so many questions worth exploring in recent times, but now, Bradley has changed his mind and come up with another idea.

Every interview with Lan Li is always like this, inadvertently able to burst out of the spark, let the interview out of the framework of the manuscript, explore more chemistry, Bradley has long been accustomed to this interview mode, so without any hesitation, the idea that just came to the surface of the idea.

"Speaking of Damien Chazelle, obviously, he is a rookie director who does not have much experience, and there is only one unknown work at the moment, and even for most people, this is a newcomer who pops out of a crack in the stone, such a collaboration means taking risks, even gambling, but you choose to believe him without hesitation, why is that?"
