1196 Youth Corps
The slender fingers felt the hot temperature slightly, as if the scorching light and sight were enough to burn the fingertips, and the atmosphere of extreme tension flowed between the fingers, and only when you really experienced such a moment could you understand the feeling, apprehension and excitement, anxiety and excitement, and even breathing has lost its meaning.
As the winner, Lan Li was not able to truly feel the complexity of this moment, but as the award presenter, Lan Li carefully experienced the indescribable depth.
Everybody's ridiculing that the Oscars have become an academy PR game, and maybe that's the truth for the Weinstein brothers and the big studios, that's another pool of interests, but not for the actors, for everyone in the industry.
Suddenly, Lan Li remembered an interview with the famous director David Lynch. I can't remember the exact words, but the general meaning is that the Oscar is nothing, just an affirmation from the industry, if it is given to him, he will happily win his award, but if he can't get it, he will not cry.
This is a funny little old man.
He has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director three times with "The Elephant Man", "Mulholland Drive", and "Blue Velvet", but he has not received any grain; in addition, he has also dedicated classic masterpieces such as "Twin Peaks", "My Heart is Wild", "Dune", etc., there is no doubt that the little golden man cannot define his great achievements in film history, but his influence can be found everywhere in the cultural precipitation of the long history.
From another point of view, the Oscars are actually a very interesting feast.
Between the lightning and flint, Lan Li's mind was also full of thoughts, and he slightly tightened his fingertips, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose, announcing the answer, ending this long torment, "Jennifer Lawrence, 'the happiness line behind the dark clouds'." β
History, after all, continues the trajectory, Jennifer became the second youngest Oscar winner in film history, or from another point of view, history, after all, has changed the trajectory, the youth army of Generation Y has really stepped onto the stage, from the hands of the baby boomer, crossed the barrier of Generation X, and completed the inheritance and alternation in advance.
It's a clichΓ©.
Among Gen Xers, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Ethan Hawke, Tobey Maguire, Jude Law, Ben Affleck, Joseph Fiennes, Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Joaquin Phoenix, etc., have never been able to truly shoulder the generational transition, from major awards to movie box office, from social influence to Hollywood power lists.
But now, in terms of movie box office, Generation Y's Shea LaBeouf, Ranley Hall, the "Harry Potter" Gang of Three, the "Twilight" Trio, and the "Hunger Games" Trio, they have all begun to emerge and become an indispensable part of the market;
From Natalie Portman to Ranley Hall, to this year's Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway, for the third year in a row, the rise of the Generation Y Youth Corps is becoming stronger and more distinct.
Although the overall upward momentum of the actor is still a little slow, Ryan Gosling, James Franco, Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and many more have formed a group advantage, and it is worth looking forward to more in the future.
After last year's Lan Li Hall set a new minimum age for an actor to win an award, this year Jennifer Lawrence also became the second youngest Oscar actress in film history. The afterlife is terrible, this is definitely the real afterlife is terrible!
So, whether Jessica Chastain lost to Jennifer Lawrence, whether it was because the Weinstein brothers had better PR, or because the momentum of the rise of the youth army changed the entire Hollywood landscape, it is unknown, maybe both, but it is certain that more young actors will start to emerge in the future and quickly complete the snatching of power.
This isn't a good thing for Hollywood's Gen Xers, but it's a joy for Hollywood's film industry.
Then, without warning, the entire Dolby Theater was filled with gasps and gasps, and many people could even be seen leaning forward or standing up slightly, strongly expressing their concern.
In the audience, Harvey Weinstein's chubby figure was undoubtedly the most obvious, he stood up directly, the worry and concern between his eyebrows were undisguised, but after confirming the situation, he laughed heartily and cheerfully, and took the initiative to clap his hands and applaud, turning his head to look around, which further led to the applause of the audience.
Maybe it was Lan Li's illusion, but faintly, he could feel Harvey's provocation and show-off, and his ostentatious posture could hardly be concealed. Of course, with such a distance and a surge in the audience, the possibility of illusion is very high.
Just now, Jennifer couldn't hide her excitement and excitement, carefully lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked up the steps with a surging heart, but her knees were slightly weak, and she accidentally failed to lift her feet completely, and then she tripped and fell on the stairs, and chuckled helplessly and embarrassedly, her hands were supported on the ground, and she was a little speechless.
This fall caused everyone to exclaim, but then it became a sea of applause and encouragement under Harvey's leadership.
Seeing this, Lan Li was also dumbfounded, took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his right hand, and expressed the etiquette of a gentleman.
Jennifer frowned in annoyance, and was helpless about her performance in the audience, just as she was thinking about how to resolve the embarrassment, a right hand appeared in her sight, clean and slender, with distinct bones like green bamboo, and searched along her fingertips, and then she saw those dark brown eyes.
Warm and warm, restrained and peaceful, reflecting the golden lights of the Dolby Theater, you can faintly see the trail of the hazy moonlight, the thrilling but fleeting moment, and then it regains that indifferent and gentle, graceful demeanor, the elegant gentlemanly demeanor is so appropriate, one more is too much, one less is not enough, and it is too perfect to be faulty.
But it was precisely this perfection that made Jennifer feel a touch of strangeness and alienation, as if ...... It's as if the first passing at the airport and the second unexpected encounter at Mount Sinai Hospital are indescribable and indescribable, as if everything is the same, but deep down there is an inexplicable sense of loss.
Then, Jennifer saw a light smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth, and her low voice was a shallow hoarseness, "Need a little help?" faintly banter and ridicule, but it did not go beyond the scope of gentlemanly etiquette, and it always made people feel like a spring breeze and feel comfortable.
Jennifer lowered her eyes in a panic, "No, no...... I mean, thank you. Then, she raised her right hand and placed it in Lan Li's palm, feeling a gentle and tenacious force that pulled her up, successfully getting out of the predicament and standing up again.
At the same time, Lan Li turned his head and politely nodded to Jackman next to the stage-
After seeing Jennifer fall just now, Jackman also rushed over gentlemanly, ready to reach out to help, but after seeing Lan Li's movements, Jackman raised his hands, gave a thumbs up, bent over and turned out of the range of the camera.
Lan Li adjusted her pace, and with the perfect gentlemanly etiquette of a communicative situation, she led Jennifer to the microphone, and then took the little golden figure from the master of ceremonies, handed it to Jennifer with both hands, and performed a close salute, "Congratulations! This is your moment, enjoy it." β
After saying that, Lan Li took a half step back and gave up the stage space to Jennifer.
Before there was time to think deeply, the audience gave a standing ovation one after another, whistling and screaming, and the shouts one after another were so lively. As Lan Li said, this is the moment that belongs to Jennifer, and she should open her arms and enjoy it.
Jennifer retracted her gaze, looked at the audience in front of her, and laughed awkwardly, "You all stood up, just because I fell just now, it's really embarrassing." But, thank you. This little self-deprecation made the audience chuckle, and then sat down one after another.
Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to tell her acceptance speech, thanking the other nominated actresses, the crew of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds", and more importantly, thanking her family.
The master of ceremonies quickly walked over and led Jennifer and Lan Li off the stage.
The two men both walked to the side stage, and once again entered behind the red curtain, and passed through the bustling narrow passage, and returned to the corridor backstage.
Jennifer's mood still didn't calm down, she looked left and right, and then she saw Lan Li standing beside her, opened her mouth, trying to say something, but she didn't know where to start, a thousand words, mixed tastes, and finally just said, "Thank you." β
Thank you. With such a simple sentence, Jennifer felt an inexplicable melancholy.
Lan Li smiled and gently tucked her chin, "My honor." β
Before Jennifer could continue to speak, the staff had already hurriedly walked over, "Lan Li, Lan Li, can you come with me?"
Although she didn't know what it was, Lan Li nodded to Jennifer before turning to leave.
Jennifer stayed in place, her eyes involuntarily locked on Lan Li's figure, even she didn't understand why, but there was no time and space, in a blink of an eye, Lan Li's figure disappeared into a noisy crowd, everyone came to congratulate Jennifer on her award, she took a deep breath, retracted her attention, and began to deal with the situation in front of her.
It was her night and she deserved to enjoy it.
