"Boom", thunderous applause swept in, the red curtain on the side stage was slowly lifted, and then a smiling Asian face could be seen, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, left the stage and walked over.

The figure of the person who came made Lan Li's eyes light up slightly. It turned out that the award that was just handed out was Best Director.

Throughout this year's awards season, Ben Affleck of "Escape from Tehran" and Steven Spielberg of "Lincoln" have shown fierce competition, and the battle between the two is undoubtedly the main attraction, while Ang Lee of "Life of Pi" and David O. Russell of "Behind the Clouds" are also in the spotlight of Group 1.

But after the Golden Globe Awards ended, the list of Oscar nominees was officially announced, and the proud Affleck was unexpectedly out, which also made the trend of the major Oscar awards suddenly unpredictable.

In the last life, Ang Lee successfully stood out and became the biggest beneficiary of Affleck's exit, following the "Brokeback Mountain", he won his second Best Director Golden Man;

At this moment, it was Li An who appeared in front of Lan Li's eyes.

The excitement and excitement in the depths of his soul began to flap his butterfly wings, and Lan Li politely stepped out of the way and took the initiative to greet Ang Lee, "Congratulations." ”

Ang Lee's footsteps paused slightly, and through the dim light, he vaguely caught the outline of Lan Li's face, revealing a look of sudden realization, "Oh, thank you." ”

Lan Li smiled and nodded for a moment, "This time the work is very good, the visual effects are really amazing, of course, I like the discussion and in-depth discussion of Eastern philosophy in the story even more." ”

"Undoubtedly, this is a work that deserves to be watched again and again, and honestly, I don't know of any director who can combine the subtlety of the East and the pungency of the West so perfectly as you. Looking forward to your next work. It seems that the pace of speaking is not hurried or hurried, but the amount of information in a short period of time is very turbulent, and Lan Li calmly expressed all his thoughts.

Then, under the guidance of the staff, Lan Li left the side stage and went around to the back of the stage along a side passage, and appeared in a positive way.

Li An stood in place, slightly stunned.

Just after receiving the award, the emotions in his mind continued to surge, and his reaction was a little out of rhythm, and he suddenly met Lan Li, and suddenly received the message, and before he could come back to his senses, Lan Li had already turned around and left, thinking about it carefully, Li An couldn't help but chuckle. This young actor is an interesting guy.

"Lee?" the master of ceremonies politely reminded.

Li An immediately reacted, they were still standing on the side platform, this is not a place to stay for a long time, continuing to stand here will only lead to traffic jams, so he quickly nodded in affirmation, and then took a step forward, walked in the direction of the waiting room, and accepted the congratulations and congratulations from his colleagues to the fullest.

On the other hand, Lan Li's footsteps had come to the back, and on the stage, Seth's simple words could be clearly heard.

After the award for Best Director was presented just now, the live broadcast of the TV station cut into an advertisement, because the awards ceremony is nearing the end, and now there are only three important awards left: Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Picture, and it is also the most anticipated moment, and this advertisement is the last chance for the entire awards ceremony.

After the end of the commercial, Seth appeared again, adjusting the atmosphere of the scene in a relaxed tone, and re-entered the award ceremony.

“…… When we mention this person, we unswervingly reject envy, because once envied, it means losing. But honestly, who doesn't want to be him?"

"In the movie 'Love Crazy', his handsomeness, his handsomeness, his humor, his cuteness, his youthfulness, his sadness and his focus...... God, I'm definitely not in love with him, absolutely not, but I believe that he has made countless people fall in love with him and make history with a heartbroken look. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome, Your Excellency Lanli-Hall. ”

Seth's succinct and witty, humorous and likable phrases, self-complaining but with a hint of playfulness managed to elicit a low laugh, and more importantly, at the last moment, he quoted the title "Your Excellency", which was definitely the finishing touch, reminding people once again that Lan Li was born into the aristocracy.

As a result, in the Dolby Theater, applause rang out, and at the same time, many audience members could be seen standing up, blowing whistles, cheers and shouts, and you could really feel the welcome and support from Hollywood.

Lan Li's footsteps steadied in the microphone directly in front of him, but the enthusiastic applause did not stop, which made him chuckle, "I guess my work as a publicist and agent has finally paid off." An inexplicable word, the guests present couldn't help but be stunned, and they didn't understand what was going on.

The subtext is that after the hereditary aristocracy is exposed, the PR work is undoubtedly hard, otherwise Hollywood is always full of rejection of highly educated British college actors, as Lan Li said in an interview with "The Ellen Show" last year, and now, Hollywood has opened its arms to accept Lan Li, which means that the work of public relations people has paid off.

This is a high-level self-deprecation, and it is also a wise joke, which includes all the drunken gold fans in Hollywood in one sentence, but not everyone can understand it, only a small number of people who really understand the deep meaning of the words exchange glances with each other, and then they all laugh dumbly.

However, the most ironic moment came:

Even though most people couldn't understand it, there was a low laugh at the scene. Is it because this is ...... The jokes of the aristocracy? Fear that if they don't understand it, they will become mediocre and stupid? It's like courting the nobles and their superiors.

The smile in Lan Li's eyes became meaningful, Vanity Fair is really an interesting circle.

When you are outside, you can't see clearly, you can't help yourself, and only when you can really put it on top can you see it clearly and thoroughly.

Even Lan Li himself, he is now in it, and he can't see through it after all, it's just that because of the family background in this life, he can see it a little more clearly, but he is still trapped in the game, and if he wants to reach the height of Woody Allen, he still needs to cultivate well.

"Standing backstage just now, the staff communicated with me about today's awards. "It's not like an award ceremony, it's more like casual chat, less ceremonial, more casual, but the elegant English voice and calm posture bring a sense of spring breeze and make people enjoy it," they listed a series of praise words to describe the greatness of the actress. ”

"Passionate, sensitive, brave, sexy/sensual, sophisticated, free, strong, funny, tenacious, passionate, elegant. "Round and jade, the words rolled down and struck a wonderful rhythm, like a graceful and magnificent poem, which was moving," but then, I gave up. ”

With a turn, the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth firmly grabbed the attention of all the audience, "Because the language is too pale to describe the greatness of women, and because actresses don't need compliments from a man, their very existence supports half the sky, so what we need to do is just keep quiet and enjoy their performances, and that's enough." ”

"Papapa", applause, thunderous applause, Jessica Chastain was the first to start cheering, so much so that she interrupted Lan Li's introduction, and the other actresses also cheered their hands and expressed their inner excitement and joy in the most enthusiastic and sincere way.

The so-called affirmative action. It does not mean who is better than the other, but that they stand together on an equal footing and enjoy the rights that belong to them. This is true for women, for blacks, for Asians, for patients, for homosexuals, for every vulnerable minority.

Lan Li stood there gentlemanly and politely, without any special movements, just smiling at the applause in front of him, and then took the initiative to say, "Here are the five actresses who won the nomination this year. ”

"Jessica Chastain, 'Hunt Ben**'. ”

"Quivenzani Wallis, 'Beast of the South'. ”

"Jennifer Lawrence, 'The Line of Happiness Behind the Clouds'. ”

"Naomi Watts, 'Tsunami Miracle'. ”

"Emma-Riva, 'Love'. ”

After the five nominees were announced, Lan Li raised the envelope in his hand, and opened this heavy golden envelope under the watchful eye If someone told Lan Li that this envelope was almost close to the weight of a smartphone, he would definitely not believe it, but the fact is that he only felt that he was holding an Apple mobile phone now. Obviously, every year's envelopes are also specially made.

Without the nervousness he imagined, Lan Li directly opened the envelope, pulled out the white card inside, lowered his gaze, and a line of black font came into view.

Is it Jennifer Lawrence, or Jessica Chastain, or Emma Riva?

There is no doubt that this is the biggest suspense in the entire awards season, and it is also the fiercest competition, now, the answer is in the hands of Lan Li, raise his head, and meet the sight of the black pressure of the audience, the tension and scorching heat slowly spread in the air, and the invisible pressure is still swarming, at this moment, Lan Li really feels the weight of the "Oscar", and even far exceeds the feeling of his own award last year.

Some people have been chasing this trophy all their lives, not simply for a little golden man, but to prove their sense of existence, but also to prove that their efforts and struggles have been correspondingly affirmed.

Lan Li showed a shallow smile, "Jennifer Lawrence, 'the line of happiness behind the dark clouds'." ”
