First EGOT, then box office miracles.

In 2013, too many things happened, and in an instant, the career of Lanli was pushed to an unparalleled peak, even if it has experienced countless storms, Lanli also needs time to digest and recover, day and night all the time in the scorching magnesium lights and dazzling spotlights, over time, it is inevitable that they will begin to lose their way, and unconsciously forget their original appearance.

As a bystander or layman, I can't help but wonder why those artists can't control themselves, and they are always addicted to all kinds of addictions, putting themselves in a predicament, alcohol, drugs, sex, violence, speeding, anger...... And so on, breaking the negative news every once in a while, which is amazing and embarrassing.

Here's why.

Maybe it's because of the pressure, maybe it's because of the gains and losses, maybe it's because of the drunkenness, maybe it's because of the glitz, maybe it's because of all kinds of complicated reasons...... But in the final analysis, it is because they live around the clock surrounded by colorful lights, detached from the down-to-earth of daily life, and gradually forget themselves, confused and overwhelmed, so they have to immerse themselves in the anesthesia and psychedelia of those addictions, and briefly escape from the world and immerse themselves in their own world.

Every entertainer has their own way of de-stressing, and in addition to addictions, Meryl Streep, Jessica Chastain, Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hardy, etc., all use similar methods -

They hide their family life from the public, disappear from the spotlight when they are not working, and enjoy the world surrounded by their families in peace, and avoid paparazzi as much as possible, which allows them to feel the reality of life again.

As for Lan Li, he chose to perform and devoted himself to the world of acting. It's not just about entering the world of another character to escape reality, but also about entering a new level through the study and experience of acting, temporarily putting aside all those distractions, concentrating on returning to one's original dream, and finding the motivation to perform again.

For others, this is not an easy task, but for Lan Li, who spent ten years in his hospital bed in his previous life, it is not a difficult task.

ended the propaganda of "gravity" and immediately joined the "Interstellar" crew, in the eyes of others, it was too hard, and there was not even buffer and respite, but in fact, this was exactly what Lan Li needed. The burnout period at the beginning of the year has passed, and Lanli is now in the best condition.

Jessica curiously explored Lan Li's expression, carefully capturing the expression between the clear eyebrows, and finally shook her head helplessly, "To be honest, I still can't imagine how you did it, it's really an incredible thing, those thoughts, those insistences...... Wow, God, it's all amazing. ”

After the exclamation, Jessica's high shoulders relaxed, "I envy your talent, but I don't want to be you." ”

There was a hint of relief in his expression. This is a tacit understanding between artists.

Although Jessica didn't elaborate, her words said it all: she knew how much Lan Li had paid for her transformation and progress. Those awards and achievements always make people look up to them involuntarily, and the hatred that comes from jealousy makes people ugly, but few people can understand how much pain Lan Li has experienced.

People are always like this, as far as the eye can see, only the glamour is left, but they ignore the scars hidden under the gorgeous skin.

It is precisely because Jessica understands that she envies but does not envy, admires but does not yearn for it.

"But who knows? Perhaps, that's the difference between you and me, and I will never be able to achieve your greatness. Jessica said with a smile on her lips and a hint of sarcasm.

"Great?" Lan Li narrowed his eyes slightly, as if questioning the accuracy of such an adjective.

Jessica nodded earnestly, "Yes, I didn't use my adjectives incorrectly. So now can we have a good discussion about this performance? I talked to Rooney, and she said that before the filming starts, you will have to analyze the script and the characters, which will play an important role in the subsequent performance and interpretation, and if the actor can't keep up with the rhythm, it will be a disaster. ”

"I can't deny it. Lan Li smiled widely, "You should have heard similar rumors before, I am a big demon in the crew, even a veteran director like Tony Kaye, I dare to fight head-on, everything must be done according to my habits and ways." ”

Then, Lan Li also showed a look of great interest, "Recently, some people have said that the reason why I choose to work with those new directors or independent directors is because I am an extremely domineering guy, no other voices are allowed, and all shots and performances must be at my pace." ”

At first, Jessica was still smiling and bowing her head, and gradually began to become surprised and couldn't believe her ears.

Lan Li pursed the corners of his mouth calmly, "Don't be surprised, facts, it's all facts." That look of calm and sincerity made Jessica smile helplessly, "If I had to find a reason for my career, it would be much better now than if I was a vampire who lived for five hundred years, and I could accept it." ”

"Haha!" Jessica clapped her hands and laughed.

There are many people who are popular, and this sentence has been accompanied by Lan Li since the "Pacific War" period, and now it is naturally no exception.

For Lan Li's career brilliance, now it is impossible to criticize, from the performance to the box office, from the works to the awards, everything has reached its peak, impeccable, and there is no dispute, from the perspective of career success, attacking Lan Li will only be regarded as jealousy, malicious troublemaking and slander, which no longer makes any sense.

Naturally, the focus is on the reasons behind the success.

Now there are always rumors in the industry that Lan Li is a tyrant who does not allow other opinions to exist, he always hopes that the script and characters can go according to his own ideas, even the director and producer have to listen to his opinion, this situation is getting worse and worse with the upward curve of his career, and the crew has almost become a hall of Lan Li's words.

The reason why Lan Li chose the "Burst Drummer" is because Damien Chazelle is a rootless rookie director who has no right to speak in front of Lan Li at all.

In fact, everything from "Edge of Tomorrow" to "Gravity" to "Burst Drummer", the only exception is "Drunken Country Folk", and Lan Li's reason for choosing this work is also very obvious and direct, that is, he hopes to use the Coen brothers to impact his second Oscar statuette.

The rumors of everything have noses and eyes.

What's more, there is no news media to report, and even supermarket gossip tabloids can't find clues, just word of mouth in the industry, as if the innovative artist agency has issued a gag order, and the news media are forced to withdraw the relevant reports and remain silent.

But this silence only made the rumors more and more intense, and it seemed that all the fingers pointed at Lan Li, confirming the truth of the matter.

As Lan Li said, on the one hand, people need to find a reason, how Lan Li, who is about to turn 24 years old, how to create brilliance, than Lan Li's diligence and conscientiousness, such a domineering reason is more convincing - because all the works are created to highlight Lan Li, Lan Li has given full play to his advantages, and naturally has received more praise.

On the other hand, one needs to look for a flaw, no one is perfect, not even Jesus. The business has achieved incredible success, and it would be unfair if the Blue Rite did not have any shortcomings, and the Blue Rite displayed in the public eye was almost invisible, so people subconsciously preferred to believe the current gossip version of the Blue Rite. That's what makes it even more real.

Even Universal Pictures and Vin Diesel took a breather, and the wind of public opinion was less harsh on them, and it seemed to win them a lot of sympathy, even allies. But behind all this, it is not known whether there is a shadow of an international innovation management company.

The reality is far worse than Lan Li's description, those rumors can always easily provoke a saint, even Lan Li is no exception, but this is Vanity Fair, where there is light, there must be darkness, and only then can the world be balanced.

Instead of complaining or complaining, it is better to face it calmly.

Jessica could taste the banter and calmness in Lan Li's words, and her eyes flashed slightly, "So can I start looking forward to it now? Looking forward to our cooperation? What do you think about Cooper's role this time?"

"Honestly, I don't have any thoughts at the moment. Lan Li's answer surprised Jessica a little, and her eyes couldn't help revealing a suspicious look, Lan Li nodded again in affirmation, "Recently, because of the non-stop publicity schedule, I really don't have time to calm down and think about it, this is a fact." ”

Jessica suddenly realized and collected her jaw clearly.

Lan Li then said, "But before the promotional period began, I used to talk to Chris about the script characters and so on. Chris is Christopher's nickname, although there are countless "Chris" in Hollywood, but in the context of "interstellar", it refers specifically to the director.

Jessica pursed her lips and chuckled, her eyes full of "I know" playful eyes, as if she was teasing Lan Li, but she didn't say anything, controlled her smile, and then gestured to Lan Li, "Please speak." Say, I'm listening. ”
