No one can deny that Hugh Jackman and Ranley Hall are both popular actors in the industry.

In a sense, Jackman's connections are more extensive, his reputation is more outstanding, and his image is more excellent, and his friends in the industry are all over the world;

When it comes to crowd pursuits, Jackman is bound to have the upper hand. But the truth is that after the London premiere of the "Les Miserables" movie version, almost one-sidedly, people gave more praise to the blue gift.

Jackman did his job properly and performed above the level, but Lan Li exceeded his task, made a breakthrough, amazed everyone, and even reinterpreted a different Jean-Argent, a different "Les Miserables".

That's the difference.

At the Oscars at the beginning of the year, Lan Li's unexpected ascent to the top really caused turmoil, and industry insiders have always been quite complaining. The reason is very simple, Mrs. Lan Li is too young.

has just turned twenty-two years old, even in order of the Oscar nomination age, this is the third youngest number in film history, and Lan Li went one step further, bagging the little golden man in one go, and forcefully pulled the record of the youngest award held by Adrien Brody down by eight years -

Prior to that, Lan Li also became the second youngest actor winner in the history of the Berlin Film Festival.

Such a speed, which is really too fast, too fierce and too fierce, is indeed unacceptable for the industry's knowledge, especially for the respected elderly, and for the main members whose career prime age is on average between 35 and 40 years old. Whether they are jealous or angry, they are just not in good spirits.

Just look at Adrien Brody, after reaching the Oscar with "The Pianist", he has never been able to win an Oscar nomination - let alone the Oscar, not even the Golden Globe nomination stage, which was completely ignored by the Academy. That's the price.

Now, Lan Li is even more "excessive" than Adrian, and the anger and disgust of the academic school can be imagined.

In this case, either they start to challenge commercial films, like Halle Berry, gradually moving towards mainstream cinema and then gradually drifting away from the awards season, or they are up and down in the independent film scene, waiting for the next opportunity, and Nicole Kidman is the same in addition to Adrian.

The so-called "Little Golden Man Curse", this is real, and even more so for Lan Li.

After the awards ceremony, Lan Li returned to London's West End, and boldly chose a six-hour version of "Les Miserables", which is extremely experimental in nature and a new challenge to acting.

It is a wise decision for young people to guard against arrogance and rashness, return to the stage again in a down-to-earth manner, and slowly polish their acting skills.

But, that's not enough.

If it develops step by step, Lan Li may not wait until at least the age of 30 before industry insiders will re-examine the actor's strength and talent, and consider the possibility of commendation again;

That year, Marlon Brando was nominated for the first Oscar at the age of twenty-seven, and was nominated for four consecutive years before the age of thirty, and finally successfully topped the Oscar at the age of thirty with "Dock Storm". But now, times have long been different, Ryan Gosling, Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Leonardo DiCaprio and many more, these actors are the best models.

By the way, Jake Gyllenhaal's first Oscar nomination was at the age of twenty-five, Best Supporting Actor in "Brokeback Mountain", but that was his only Oscar nomination, until he was thirty-seven, and he struggled for twelve years.

If nothing else, Lan Li will also have to go through such a grinding stage.

Now, however, things have quietly changed.

The film version and Almeida's version of "Les Miserables" were put together, and after a horizontal comparison, they successfully received a wave of praise for Lan Li, and quietly, Lan Li's professional strength was once again recognized.

Although there is an element of luck in reaching the Oscars with "Love is Crazy", Lan Li's strength is undoubted, this young actor shows a sophistication and maturity that does not match his age, which is admirable and admirable, people can be jealous, envious or despised, but they can't ignore it, let alone deny it.

This is unexpected, but it makes sense.

Standing at the node of "Les Miserables", looking back at Lan Li's past works, things gradually became clear, slowly, slowly, people are getting rid of age prejudice and beginning to objectively give Lan Li's professional talent more due recognition.

It's true that the West End and Broadway are in decline, as they say, but the professionalism and authority of the theater greats is unquestionable, and the affirmation from them is crucial to any actor, even enough to influence many views and opinions in the film industry.

Of course, nominating and winning awards is still extremely difficult. After all, at the age of 22, he won the Oscar, do you still want to climb to the sky? Just look at Tom Hanks, at the age of 39, he completed the feat of winning the Oscar statuette, and the road to nomination after that will be extremely difficult. The law of conservation, which exists objectively.

But it is undeniable that the industry's views and opinions on Lanli are precipitating little by little, which is an unexpected gain.

What's more, if they are hesitant about past works, they can go into the cinema now, enjoy the work that won the best actor at the Berlin Film Festival for Lan Li - "Detachment", and further observe and analyze Lan Li's strength. After all, the boiling discussion is just the opinion of others, far less convincing than what you have seen with your own eyes, isn't it?

After the premiere of the "Les Miserables" film version in London, Lan Li, who has no direct relationship with the film, has become the center of attention, and even if he is at the Surrey Film Base, he still can't get rid of the spotlight, which also makes people cry and laugh.

Before the premiere, Jackman mentioned that at this time, Lan Li had a work that was being screened in North America, but this news was extremely low-key.

Lan Li did not return to North America for publicity, the official announcement did not seem to cause any waves, and even Lan Li's social network accounts were quiet, low-key, everything happened silently, if it were not for "Les Miserables", it is estimated that most people would continue to be kept in the dark.

Such a gesture really makes people laugh and cry.

However, for the real veteran fans and Don Quixote, the "detached" screening is never a secret.

In fact, as early as November 2, "Detachment" has already begun to be officially screened, and at the beginning, it was only two theaters in New York and one theater in Los Angeles, and there were only three theaters in total.

There was no publicity, no ceremony, not even an announcement, and it quietly began to be screened, and Tony Kaye didn't expect anything at all, as the critics said, this is a work he shot for himself to watch, not looking forward to the box office, not looking forward to the awards season, not even looking forward to video rentals -

When he signed a contract with Lan Li, Tony simply gave up a part of the dividends from the video tape rental. It can be seen that making money and publicity are not his goals, he just wants to complete this artistic creation, leave something in the long river of history, as for the rest, then leave it to time.

Because a truly excellent work of art, after the polishing of time, will eventually shine, and moreover, a work with such a theme as a movie, if it is strongly promoted, people will not buy it at all, it is better to let word of mouth slowly ferment, and between word of mouth, let people take the initiative to understand and think.

In this way, the effect is even better.

Of course, at the same time, you can also save money on publicity.

As a result, "Detachment" was screened in three art theaters, completely in accordance with the operation mode of independent art films. The unhurried gesture is really laughable - their poster doesn't even mention that the film won the Best Actor award at the Berlin Film Festival.

But taking a step back, the poster is the face of Lan Li, this is the best publicity, why bother?

What's more, for the real veteran professional movie fans, they are always paying attention to the latest news of the art theater, and for the real Don Quixote, they have also been eagerly looking forward to the release of "detachment". As long as they have the heart, they have the channel to learn about the relevant news, and this is enough.

And that's been proven by the facts.

After the screening began, without any publicity, "Detachment" achieved a good box office, with a single box office of as high as $33,000, and more than $99,000 on the first weekend of the screening, which was really an unexpected surprise.

Objectively speaking, the data of 33,000 US dollars for a single museum can only be said to be uneventful, not to mention setting a record, even compared to Lan Li's other works, this data is not comparable, and even the top 200 cannot be squeezed into the record list of film history. It's just lackluster.

But it is a rare achievement for "detachment", not only because there is no publicity, but also because the work itself has a strong effect of repelling mainstream audiences, which can be seen when you recall the feedback effect at the Berlin Film Festival - it is still a film festival, and now it is released in real life, and the situation is naturally even more difficult.

Therefore, the screening of "detachment" has made a good start.
