1189 in an endless stream
"I'm just asking, you and Lan Li should be friends, right? Don't you need to come up and say hello?"
Eric's simple question made Jennifer stunned again, her mind was still blank, there was no thought, just a simple stunned, but this time, it was fleeting, and the smile on the corner of her mouth rose, decent and polite, "Yes, we are friends, but definitely not the kind of relationship that TMZ has been trying to explore." ”
A little joke, humorous and witty to change the subject, defuse the crisis, the atmosphere became relaxed again, Jennifer skillfully changed the subject, "Why, do you need me to introduce you? I'm pretty sure he should be more than happy to meet a good producer." ”
"Let's talk about the party after the awards ceremony. Eric gestured with a look, and Jennifer turned back again, and then saw that Lan Li and Sula had turned away and walked in the direction where Daniel Day-Lewis was.
"Not unexpected. Jennifer retracted her gaze, the smile on her lips stiffened slightly, so she took another sip of champagne, "Lan Li has always liked Daniel's performances very much, and when we discuss acting techniques, 'Blood is Coming' and 'In the Name of the Father' are both works that Lan Li often mentions. ”
"You two young people often discuss acting together, wow, this is unexpected......"
Eric's words continued, but Jennifer's thoughts were like smoke, slowly swirling, recalling those memories again, and suddenly froze in place.
Life is full of problems and setbacks, as well as opportunities and turns, and everyone has to make choices. It's not an easy task, and the future is full of possibilities, but once a choice is made, everyone must bear the consequences of that decision, for better or for worse.
It's like Levien and Jane in "Drunken Country Ballad".
There is no right or wrong choice.
Because everyone makes decisions based on their own circumstances and experiences, and everyone cannot predict the ripple effects of their choices. It may seem clear to the onlooker, but it is not a simple process for the person involved. At least, at the moment of choice, everyone is convinced that they are right.
However, different choices lead to different futures, as if standing in front of a fork in the road, everyone has chosen a different path, some people are drifting away, some people are on the same path, and some people are walking all the way. The Buddha said that 500 times of looking back in the previous life was exchanged for a passing of the present life, which is probably what it means.
They all made their own choices and continued on their own paths.
"Lan Li, I want to go over and say hello to Mr. Steven Spielberg, you say, wouldn't that be too offensive?" Sulla's voice was a little nervous and a little excited, although it had the momentum of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, but it was more restrained and restrained from Asian culture.
Lan Li gathered the thoughts in her mind and looked at Sula with a smile, "Of course not. In fact, is this a good idea that needs me to accompany you and introduce you?"
Sura took a deep breath, "Thank you. But, no, I think it's better for me to introduce myself myself. Sulla took another heavy deep breath, "Good luck to me." ”
After saying that, Sula took a step in the direction where Steven was, but after only taking two steps, he turned around again, stepped on small steps again, and actively circled back, standing in front of Lan Li, "Good luck tonight!" and then turned away with a smile on his face.
Lan Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly, watching the back of Sula walking away quickly, recalling his nervousness before meeting Steven Spielberg for the first time, not so much anticipation, but surprise or even fright, after all, when he suddenly saw an idol during the audition, and couldn't come forward to say hello, the feeling was really indescribable.
Retracting his thoughts, Lan Li's footsteps had not had time to take a step, and there was a figure next to him who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and now after finally finding an opportunity, he walked over without hesitation, stood in front of Lan Li with a horizontal bar, and introduced himself with a smile, "Good evening, Lan Li, I'm Simon-Chinn (Simon-Chinn......)"
"Good evening, Mr. Chien. I've watched 'The Tightrope Walker' and this year's 'Finding the Little Sugar Man' was also very interesting. Lan Li responded with a smile on his face, and then he could see Simon's face with a look of surprise
Because these two works are documentaries, for the general public, the viewing rate of documentaries is still relatively low, let alone the producers who are always hidden behind the documentaries?
"The Tightrope Walker" is the Oscar winner for Best Documentary, and two years after entering the industry, Simon Chien has made a name for himself in the field of documentaries in the United States, but when looking for investment in new projects in Hollywood, he still hit a wall everywhere, at least the popularity of this face still needs to be further improved.
Lan Li politely tucked her chin away, "I'm a big supporter of Sundance. ”
Simon's simple answer made Simon smile brightly, and quipped, "And a big supporter of the documentary?"
As the top event in the entire Hollywood film industry, the Oscars are the biggest social occasion in the entire film industry, in addition to the wonderful little gold man competition.
As the hottest young actor in Hollywood at the moment, Lan Li's appearance easily became the focus of attention, and there was an endless stream of faces who came to greet him.
"Well, can I have a little time?"
A slightly hoarse, calm voice came from behind him, with a hint of banter, but more of a light-hearted joke, and Lan Li and Jessica Chastain, who were talking, both looked up.
Then Jessica laughed heartily, "Of course, you can have a little time, the two of us were talking just now, wouldn't it be inappropriate if we rushed forward to say hello, but now...... Hey Steven, good luck tonight. ”
Jessica's personality exudes a coolness, and it can always make people feel happy in a few words.
Steven Spielberg, who was standing in front of him, showed a big smile, "Jessica, good luck tonight!"
Then Jessica turned around and winked at Lan Li, turned around and left, leaving the position, but Lan Li didn't wait for Steven to speak, took the initiative to stand up and show respect, but he didn't expect Steven to beckon Lan Li to sit down, "Your height is too conspicuous, it's like a lighthouse, and the eyes of the audience are focused." ”
Seeing that Lan Li had already stood up, Steven exclaimed again, "Jesus Christ!" waved his hand again and again, signaling Lan Li to sit down immediately, and the old naughty child-like expression really made people laugh.
Steven glanced at the seats on the left and right sides of the blue ceremony, with nameplates hanging on them, labeling the names of the guests, Jessica Chastain on the left, and Hugh Jackman on the right, Steven raised his eyebrows lightly and said teasingly, "It seems that the organizing committee has spent a lot of thought this year." ”
After the two of them officially sat down, Steven didn't have polite nonsense, and directly cut to the topic, "How about it, I heard that you and Joel and Ethan have just completed a work collaboration, is there a schedule next?"
Lan Li was slightly stunned, revealing a surprised expression.
But without waiting for Lan Li to speak, Steven said bluntly, "You don't need to make a humble gesture, everyone knows that Lan Li Hall is the hottest actor right now, and every film company wants to work with you." It would be hypocritical to continue to be modest at this time. ”
"No, I don't intend to be modest. Lan Li chuckled, "I was just thinking that Hollywood actors who are eager to work with Steven Spielberg may be able to line up from the East Coast to the West Coast, but you took the initiative to ask me, does this mean that I can be a little proud?"
"Huh. Steven laughed cheerfully, "Yes, you can." Such a positive and frank answer makes people feel uncomfortable. "Every time, the reporters ask when they will work with you again, or if I will treat you differently. For God's sake, I haven't had a chance to talk to you since the series ended. Their questions are simply stupid. ”
"Forgive journalists, they always only see what they want to see. At the very least, they have a much broader perspective than ordinary people. Lan Li shrugged his shoulders, which made Steven look at Lan Li meaningfully, and then gently tucked his chin away, as if he couldn't be more satisfied with such an answer.
Later, Lan Li continued, "I have just finished shooting two works in a row, and I am ready to take a break and adjust for the next period of time, I'm not sure, but at least March and April should not be ready to take over any works." I need to rest. After that, I don't have a chance yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing invitations to collaboration projects on my agent's desk. ”
"Then there's no problem. "This project is only in the ideation stage, there is no script, no director, no producer, just an idea, if we have time tonight at the Oscars, we can sit down and have a good talk." However, I guess you should be very busy tonight, so say hello in advance. ”
After saying that, Steven actually stood up and ended the conversation, "Good luck tonight." Although my tickets were already booked early. "Daniel Day-Lewis, the male lead of "Lincoln", apparently Steven's vote has been decided.
Lan Li couldn't help laughing, "Then our choice will be consistent." ”
Steven raised a thick brow and a smile paused at the corner of his mouth, "Did I say that before? You're such a likable guy." ”
