Lan Li Hall, the biggest dark horse in this year's Oscar nomination list, and Jennifer Lawrence and Hailee Steinfeld form a new generation of "three musketeers" - the eldest Lan Li was also born in November 1989, so the media generally called "three young actors who have not yet obtained legal drinking qualifications". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, in fact, Lan Li can already legally drink alcohol.

Throughout this year's awards season, there has been a lot of talk about "Generation Y" actors, from Toronto all the way to the Oscars, and until now, whether Natalie Portman can become the first actor of Generation Y to win a little gold man is still a hot topic. Not only the major media, but even the academy officials have joined in.

After the Oscar nominations were announced, in fact, all walks of life were disappointed, because the nominees of Generation Y have shrunk by almost two-thirds, making people feel once again the school's unfriendliness to young actors, who still seem to be still nostalgic for the remnants of the golden age, unwilling to accept the fact that the 21st century has arrived. This has caused controversy and criticism of the college.

In such a situation, the academy had to respond by pushing out the "three musketeers", deliberately making these three people the representatives of this year's awards ceremony and giving more encouragement to the younger generation.

Because the age of these three people is really young, even among the Generation Y actors, they are stepping on their tails. Strictly speaking, Hailey, who was born in 1996, is no longer Generation Y, she belongs to the millennial generation - the generation born after 1991. These three absolutely young actors are enough to bring hope to the fresh blood of Hollywood, and at the same time, it also means that the younger generation will undoubtedly make a shining debut.

Since the nominees were announced, both the media and the academy have been working together, and there has been a lot of news focusing on the three musketeers, even though there have been enough topics this year, but they still grab a lot of attention. It can be said that many people are looking forward to the presence of the three musketeers.

But now, Lan Li is actually going to be absent? and at the last critical moment?

The line-up for the Oscars, like the guest list for the wedding reception, is not only difficult to deliver, but also complicated, and generally speaking, the Academy has been arranging guests since mid-December.

Although in December, there is still a long time before the announcement of the nominees, and even the academy cannot predict the outcome, after the start of the awards season, the major awards have been awarded one after another, and the objects of attention have also surfaced, in addition, top names such as Tom Hanks and George Clooney, the academy welcomes them at all times.

As a result, the Academy will issue invitations in four to five batches, the first batch may be a new topic to watch, and a large number will be updated every year, and the second group may be the frontrunners of the awards season, and their attendance is bound to get enough attention, regardless of whether they can win Oscar nominations or not. And so on.

After the list of nominees comes out, the college will send another batch of invitations, on the one hand, to prevent dark horses from being on the list of nominees, such as this year's Hailey, on the other hand, it is a heavyweight award presenter, for the sake of popularity and attention, as well as the game of major brokerage companies, the invitation of these top guests will be the highlight of the award ceremony night.

Willing to attend, refusing to attend. Regardless of the answer, the invitee is asked to reply as soon as possible, and if there is a conflict in the schedule and cannot attend, then the college can also prepare a backup plan to avoid confusion and chaos, and each award must have a corresponding award presenter, and rehearse the string of words, which is not allowed to be sloppy.

All in all, it was a meticulous and thoughtful process, with the College trying to keep surprises to a minimum.

Of course, are there any special circumstances? Yes.

For example, Woody Allen, after the college sends out an invitation, he can think slowly and decide whether to attend, or he may choose the "decline" option at the last minute. But even Woody wouldn't be procrastinating for too long, and told the college of the decision early so that they could make arrangements for the ceremony.

At this moment, there is only a week left before the Oscars, but Lan Li is confirmed to be absent at the last critical moment?

This...... It was definitely a surprise to kill everyone, and it was when he had already nodded his head in agreement. If it is handled a little improperly, then it will offend the college judges, and once the case record is left, it will take double the effort to turn the tables in the future. Worse still, after hard work, there is a good chance that the result will not be changed - pride and prejudice, which can be said to be the motto of the college.

This is the deadliest thing!

The most famous case in Hollywood is Viggo Mortenson.

Back then, he starred in Aragorn, the king of humans in "The Lord of the Rings", especially in the third part, there was really a lot of nominations in the awards season, but Viggo was not interested in the Oscars at all, and almost missed the entire awards season for the academy public relations, and naturally did not receive nominations in the end.

Later, Viggo worked with David Cronenberg twice in 2005 and 2007, and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for "The Promise of the East". In that year's selection, the "Coming Blood" Daniel Day Lewis stood out from the crowd, and others could hardly pose a threat, but the industry recognized that Viggo was the biggest challenger, and among the previous weather vanes, Viggo received a lot of praise.

However, Viggo not only refused to promote it, but also dismissed the Oscars as nothing more than a "game".

This gesture fell into the ears of industry professionals and spread, coupled with the coldness and alienation in 2003, he was on the college's blacklist.

Since then, Viggo has delivered countless wonderful performances, such as "Doomsday Danger" in 2009, "Dangerous Methods" in 2011, and "Off the Track" in 2014, all of which have received countless recognitions in Europe, and won a bunch of awards from film critics' associations and film festivals, but they have always received a cold reception in North America.

It wasn't until 2016 that Viggo put down his posture and campaigned for the small-budget independent film "Captain Fantastic", and even took the initiative to attend countless public relations activities to truly integrate into Hollywood, which won the Oscar nomination for Best Actor in one fell swoop.

In other words, not anyone can be Woody Allen.

Now, just thinking about it in his head, Andy feels like he has a splitting headache.

However, Andy is not the indecisive type, and after making a choice, even if it is difficult, he must persevere to the end, "Yes, not attended." "Decisive killing, without any delay, not even the slightest residual hesitation.

Lan Li looked at Andy in front of him, but he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and simply agreed, "Okay." ”

promised so happily, without the slightest nostalgia, Andy felt a little clogged in his chest, but he was not surprised, so he could only shake his head helplessly, "Then you have a good rest." Do you want to continue working tomorrow?"

Although this is a question sentence, Andy already knows Lan Li's answer.

Sure enough, Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "The next part is the hard part. Lan Li looked at Andy quietly, he knew how important it was to be absent from the Oscars.

In fact, Hollywood Vanity Fair and British aristocratic Vanity Fair are in the same vein.

The Oscars are like the Queen's private banquet, everyone knows that it is extremely difficult to attend such a banquet and want to talk to the Queen. But, no one will be absent. Anyone who is absent will inevitably become the focus of onlookers, and even become the talk of the social scene after dinner.

To put it simply, when the nobles hold a banquet in the future, this person will be blacklisted, and they will not necessarily be invited, after all, the social network of the nobles is intricate, and even if you look at it, you may be relatives;

Now, the same goes for the Oscars. Unless Lan Li can be like Woody Allen, with a transcendent status, but yet unique to become a representative of the arts on the East Coast of New York. Then, the academy can only swallow its anger. Otherwise, things will be extremely tricky.

As Lan Li said, he can be present if necessary.

For London's aristocrats, this is one of the things they do best: hiding their true emotions and true state in public, and completing all social activities with ease and unhurriedness, even in exceptional circumstances.

To give a simple example, nobles can control their hiccups - not the hiccups themselves, because the action itself is uncontrollable, but when they realize that they are about to hiccup, they will quietly cover up the past through the adjustment of their breathing or the disguise of their words, and then turn away.

Because hiccups are a very faux pas, detrimental to the dignity of the nobles, even if it is a natural reaction of the body. It sounds incredible, but it's real in real life.

Of course, such a move is not without traces, for the old fritters, it is naturally clear at a glance, and then it will become the talking point behind their backs, but for novices or laymen, they are not aware at all.

As for small etiquette such as controlling fart/fart, it can only be said to be sprinkling water.

In other words, Oscar, he could attend, it's just that he didn't want to.

He now has more important things to accomplish than Oscar - the exploration of methodological acting.

Originally, Lan Li thought that Andy would give a few instructions, or nag a few words, but he didn't expect that Andy actually turned around and was about to leave, seemingly planning to let him rest well.

To be honest, a trace of warmth flowed through Lan Li's heart. Because he knows better than anyone what a difficult decision it was for Andy.

"What about the Academy, what are your plans?" Lan Li asked.
