"Lan Li, may I ask, are you going to start filming again when you return to New York this time?"

Finally, Lan Li's footsteps finally stopped, and someone immediately asked the most curious and expected questions, and under the watchful eye, Lan Li did not hesitate or pause, and simply gave a positive answer, "Yes." One sentence immediately detonated all the excitement of the reporters.

"May I ask if it's a 'Burst Drummer'?"

"I have chosen independent films for several works in a row, but what about commercial films?"

"Are you thinking about Marvel movies?"

"Will you be there at the Tony Awards?"

"Do you have any expectations for the possibility of EGOT?"

"Choose an independent male lead movie again, are you ready to hit the Oscars for the second time?"

"Is this a selection of works that will impact the awards season?"

"Do you feel sorry for missing this year's summer file war?"

"Are you willing to increase the number of commercial film opportunities in the future, or will you still stick to the line of independent art films?"

……

The reporters didn't give Lan Li any breathing space at all, and one question after another poured down like a storm, seemingly completely ignoring how Lan Li should answer.

Lan Li stood in place with a smile, did not speak, but did not leave, gradually, the noise around him finally calmed down, all eyes were focused on Lan Li, waiting for his response, if it weren't for the boiling dust in the air, then the noise just now seemed to have never happened at all.

"For the next few moments, I'll be focusing on the preparation of the 'Burst Drummer' and the subsequent shooting. This is the sole heart and center of gravity of my work. Thank you all for your concern and enthusiasm, and thank you for coming to the airport to welcome me back. Thank you. Lan Li's words were still gentlemanly and decent, and he was up to the point, but he was comprehensive.

After finishing his statement, Lan Li took another step, and walked quickly towards the outside of the airport reception hall in a stunned look and another surging question.

The reporters followed step by step, only to notice that a row of big men in black suits blocked their steps, and moreover, not only one or two, but eight in front of and behind, tightly surrounded Lan Li, like the Great Wall, gradually erecting an insurmountable wall between the reporter and Lan Li.

So, they could only watch Lan Li's figure disappear into the pitch-black van, and finally slowly walked away.

The reporters who stayed where they were were stomping their feet in anger and scolding and complaining, "Now Lan Li has also learned to play big names? He is actually equipped with eight bodyguards? What kind of thing is this! Isn't he claiming to be a young man in New York? Why did he start to pose like those so-called superstars in Hollywood! Damn!"

The foul words and complaints unreservedly vented the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart.

But this time, he was not able to win the solidarity of his colleagues.

"So, what are you expecting? He just stood there obediently, letting us strip off all his clothes and interview as much as we wanted? Should literary and artistic young people give up resistance and take what they want? Greenwich Village is full of young people, why can't you go to interview them? Why can't you see that they need to hire bodyguards to guard against the intrusion of reporters? You can interview them as much as you want, and they will show you the real Qinggao, just like Woody Allen!"

"You ......" came from the sound of attacking and complaining, and the reporter tried to refute it, but before the words could be finished, more complaints were added one after another, and then he fell into an embattled predicament, completely isolated.

"Ignore him, as if Lan Li could complete the interview without a bodyguard. Maybe he also wants to be the second Cornell McGregor, attacking Lan Li with a sprawling slur and then becoming everyone's talking point. ”

"Who knows, maybe the uncrowned king is like this, so this will always be uncrowned and cannot be crowned, because the appearance is really ugly. ”

"If it's so awesome, it's better to just make an appointment with Andy Rogers directly, and when the time comes, you can only be scolded behind your back when someone hangs up the phone, which is the real shame. Now because of the Internet, cats and dogs can call themselves journalists, and I now finally understand why Lan Li is always so relaxed every time she confronts reporters. ”

The ridicule that swarmed from all directions left the reporter no room for rebuttal, and in the end he gritted his teeth fiercely and turned away in a gloomy manner.

In Vanity Fair, media reporters are the tail that can never be shaken off, always annoying and even hated, but from another point of view, media reporters are also an indispensable part of the spotlight, they can become a mirror, projecting the current situation and future of every industry insider.

It is not only the superficial phenomena of popularity and popularity, but also the thinking and exploration from within the industry.

Even in the age of the Internet, the title of "uncrowned king" has died in name only, but the role of journalists is still irreplaceable.

This time too.

The size of the pick-up team at New York's JFK Airport and the fact that they asked a lot of questions is a testament to the current state of the film industry in the whole – and those questions are definitely not just casually asked. The New Yorker magazine published an in-depth article, which can be seen as a microcosm of the internal thinking of the entire industry.

This article from Chinese blogger film critic Emily Chan unfolds an analysis and report from a relatively objective perspective.

The whole article is full of possibilities from the Olivier Award to the Tony Award to achieve EGOT, from the Cannes Best Actor to the Venice Best Actor Grand Slam, from "detachment" to "Burst Drummer" The selection of works...... After a comprehensive analysis of Lan Li's career, Emily put forward a very realistic, very common and very sharp point of view -

"Is Lan Li Hall, who will turn twenty-four years old in November this year, step by step towards a dead end?"

This is not a bashing, but an assessment.

In the article, Emily uses Marlon Brando and Nicole Kidman as examples to analyze Lan Li's career options.

Marlon Brando is undoubtedly one of the top actors in the golden age of Hollywood, from 1950 to 1960, that is, between the age of 26 and 36, he conquered the entire Hollywood for a full decade, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor four times in a row and five times, and his performance and box office were both win-win, he was the absolute top superstar at that time.

But after entering the sixties, he faced the biggest crisis of his career.

For twelve years, only one work, "Rebel Blood," was a success, but MGM Pictures' lengthy filming cycle and expensive production costs overwhelmed MGM Pictures, and a subsequent film lawsuit left Malone eccentric, lonely, silent, and virtually isolated.

At that time, he became cynical and became Hollywood's most famous "prodigal".

He once founded a film company and planned to let Stanley Kubrick direct a new film, but the two personalities did not match, and there was a serious disagreement during the script writing stage, and a fierce quarrel broke out, and in a fit of anger, Malone fired Kubrick, and soon after the film company also failed. For three years, he almost disappeared completely.

After entering the seventies, no one thought that Ma Long, who had been declared a box office poison, would return to his former glory. In 1972, when he was forty-eight years old, he took over the filming of "The Godfather" and not only agreed to a salary of $250,000 — about a fraction of the previous one, but even agreed to an audition that was insulting for an actor of his level.

As a result, the work was an unparalleled success and helped him win his second Oscar.

Since then, works such as "The Last Tango in Paris" and "Apocalypse Now" have become classics.

The same is true of Nicole Kidman, who in 2002 managed to make her an Oscar-winning actress with a "moment to heart", after which her career fell into a state of confusion.

The subsequent "Cold Mountain" and "Dog Town" also achieved good feedback, but the box office failures of works such as "Copying the Wife", "The Family Has a Fairy Wife", and "The Golden Compass" made her wear the hat of "box office poison", and after that, she returned to the field of independent cinema and embarked on a road of no return in art films.

"Troubled Australia", "Nine", "Rabbit Hole", "Newsboy", "Stoker", "Princess of Monaco", "Queen of the Desert", "Mysterious Eyes", ...... Nicole can be seen in the awards season almost every year, but from 2008 to 2016, it has been like a ghost hitting a wall, and it continues to spin in place.

It wasn't until the 2017 TV series "Big Little Lies" that her career regained its second spring.

In 2013 in Emily's article, Nicole was still at a low point in her career, and there was never any hope in sight.

What Malone and Nicole have in common is that after creating the peak of their careers, they lost their future direction, began to drill into the horns of the horns in the selection of works, and the exhaustion of artistic creativity led them to a dead end, and they were never able to grasp a clear direction after going around and around, and finally fell into a long and painful trough.

There is no doubt that both of these are excellent actors, but they have both experienced a low period of about ten years, and the road to rejuvenation is extremely difficult.

Now Lan Li seems to be facing the same situation.

After the huge success of "Love is Crazy", Lan Li's choice of works began to become paranoid, "Cancer-Fighting Me", "Detachment", "Drunken Country Ballad", "Gravity" and the stage version of "Les Miserables", etc., almost all continue a routine: on the level of extreme performance, it is gone, except for a "Edge of Tomorrow", all of them.

Now, Lan Li has once again chosen an independent work like "Burst Drummer", which also means that he is repeating the mistakes of the past and once again following the path of Malone and Nicole, which is Emily's most worrying part.
