1107 Fantastic year
No one can win forever, and no one can remain strong. The so-called longevity takes time to precipitate.
Historically, only two actors have been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor four years in a row: Marlon Brando (1951-1954) and Al Pacino (1972-1975).
Interestingly, the former made history between the ages of twenty-seven and thirty, while the latter wrote miracles between the ages of thirty-two and thirty-five.
In other words, both actors are young talents, and with their talents and talents, they have gained recognition early and gained a firm foothold in the industry. For the Oscar department, where the average age of winning awards is 43 years old, both actors can be described as models of genius and darling.
However, it was already the old yellow calendar, the history of Malone was created half a century ago, and the glory of Al was also written forty years ago, and the current academy is becoming more and more old-fashioned, more and more senior, and more and more calm, and it is difficult for a young student like Lan Li to replicate such a brilliant achievement.
Objectively speaking, after being nominated for the Oscars with "Buried Alive" and "Love Crazy", this year is indeed the time to breathe a sigh of relief.
But the industry is still full of suffocation and regret, not only because the momentum of Lanli in the past few years is really too fierce, it seems that creating miracles has become a habit, but also because Lanli's reputation in the industry this year is still heating up, but now it is trapped by the theme and style of the work, and there is no way to go further in the awards season, which is really embarrassing.
What's more, the second round of "Lan Li VS Harvey" actually came to an early end, which is really disappointing.
With the awards season underway, there's one little detail worth playing.
After the screening of "Detachment" in North America, a group of actors such as Donald Glovo, Alexander Skarsgård, and Paul Walker went to art theaters together, watched the movie, and complained mercilessly on Twitter, strongly saying that Lan Li's film could not be understood at all.
Donald's tweet is the funniest, "Wait for the release of the actor's commentary track version and then make a second swipe." ”
Alexander's tweet also showed his style, "Oops, Lan Li abandoned us and didn't take us along. Obviously, that kind of work is definitely not at my level, which is terrible. Damn it. ”
Not only them, but Ryan Gosling, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgård, Jessica Chastain, Scarlett Johansson and others have tweeted, spontaneously endorsing "detachment", trying to call on more audiences to enter the art theater and enjoy this - "completely incomprehensible" movie.
The ridicule and banter hidden between the lines can be seen that the friendship between them and Lan Li is obviously not just for public relations and publicity activities.
But interestingly, among the many tweets, there is no figure of Jennifer Lawrence.
Of course, there are many plausible explanations for this. For example, Jennifer is busy with the promotion of the awards season, and the schedule of "detachment" is already small, and the time is suitable to make up for it, for example, Jennifer has watched the work in private, but has not tweeted, and may have communicated with Lan Li through email and text message...... There is no need to think about it at all.
However, in the context of awards season, people have to start thinking nonsense.
Is it possible that Harvey's grievances with Lan Li may affect Jennifer's behavior and attitude?
"The Line of Happiness Behind the Clouds", which is now being run by Weinstein Pictures, is preparing to win the Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay awards this year, and so far, they have a slight advantage in the battle for the awards season.
With Harvey's domineering, dictatorial/dictatorial/domineering style, it is very, very likely, to ban Jennifer from publishing any remarks about Lan Li, especially those that may help Lan Li hit the Oscar nomination.
Perhaps, this is just a media chase;
However, it can be seen from the side that not only the media, but also industry insiders are always ready to move, looking forward to Lan Li and Xavi being able to burst out more sparks, and expressing more suffocation for the early fall of "detachment".
Everyone is discussing how regrettable it is to perform after the screening of "Detachment", how disappointing it is that "Detachment" became the first work of Lanli that has not been able to create miracles, and how sad it is if "Detachment" unfortunately becomes an important turning point in Lanli's unpopular career...... So much so that now I am worried about the word-of-mouth and box office of "gravity".
It's just the ups and downs of a work, but media reporters and industry insiders are heartbroken for Lan Li, and it can be seen from the side that the actor's current strong influence in the Hollywood industry is far beyond imagination.
2012 was indeed a very magical year for Lanli.
Although the performance of "detachment" was far lower than expected, and even disappointing, no one could ignore the existence of Lan Li at the end of the year, which also became an important year for Lan Li to reach the top of Hollywood.
The first is the rise of the music market.
Although Lan Li has repeatedly emphasized that he is an actor, not a singer, standing at the end of the year and looking back on the music development of the whole year, no one can ignore the record set by "Don Quixote", and no one can ignore the footprints left by Lan Li in the music market.
At the Grammy Awards at the beginning of the year, "Don Quixote" won three gramophone trophies, writing another dark horse miracle.
"One Man's Concert" set a series of ticket sales and attendance records at Madison Square Garden in New York, and then Eleven Studios released a DVD of the concert, which once again became a legend in sales, surpassing a series of singers such as Madonna, Beyoncé and Bruno Mars, and becoming the DVD sales champion of the year-end concert.
The performance stage of "Today's Show", from the number of viewers to the topic effect, to the chain reaction on social networks, all the way to the subsequent Ice Bucket Challenge, has become one of the most important events of the year, and perfectly combines music and life, deeply welcomes countless people, and writes a new record of public welfare songs.
All of this is reflected in the year-end sales list, and no one thought that the name "Lanli-Hall" would appear on this list.
In 2012, Adele's "21" topped the year-end album sales charts in North America, selling 4.8 million copies again throughout the year, and the total sales since its release have exceeded 10 million copies, marking the second consecutive year.
followed by Taylor Swift, whose new album "Red" sold 3.21 million copies, once again proving his title as the first popular person of the new generation, ranking second at the end of the year.
In third place is the biggest dark horse album of the year "Don Quixote", this folk album burst out with incredible light, selling 3.05 million copies throughout the year, surpassing a series of popular singers, and ranking among the top three on the year-end list.
The global music market is in a slump today, and there are only four albums that have sold more than two million in North America this year – in addition to the three albums mentioned above, there is also Bruno Mars's second solo album "Unorthodox-Jukebox", which was released at the end of the year.
Now, "Don Quixote" has not only occupied a place, but has also further exceeded 3 million, such an achievement, such a result is not enough to describe people's surprise and shock. This set of sales data shows that the album has had a huge impact in the North American market, even far beyond imagination.
On the year-end sales charts, "21", "Red", "Don Quixote", and "Mars Jukebox" ranked the top four respectively, and then more than one million sales, and there were twelve more albums that reached such results, including Pretty in Pink (P!). NK), Fun., Rihanna, The-eeknd, Imagine-Gragons, Magic Red, and many more.
Among them, the biggest event of the year is undoubtedly the rise of the ballad.
The folk wave sparked by the Don Quixote album is sweeping across North America, revealing a completely different and comprehensive impact in every way.
On the year-end list, three bands, Blessed Sons, Passengers, and Of-Monsters-And-Men, all made it into the top 30, with Blessed Sons having the best results and selling more than one million copies, while the other two bands also sold more than half a million copies.
Such a momentum surpassed the jazz retro frenzy brought by Norah Jones back then, and truly ushered in the revival of folk songs in an all-round way.
From this point, we can see that the album "Don Quixote" has a strong impact on American culture.
This is undoubtedly a wonderful phenomenon, on the one hand, people are strangling the failure of "detachment", which seems to be a direct manifestation of the upward momentum of the Blue Rite cause, but on the other hand, people realize that the influence of the Blue Rite can be felt in every aspect of 2012, so contradictory, so conflicted, and yet so interesting.
The record sales statistics of the music market are only part of it, and the single sales statistics list presents a new scene of prosperity, and in addition, the wide range of waves caused by the film field and the charity field has made people deeply feel the social reality brought by the name "Lan Li-Hall".
From any point of view, this is undoubtedly a year of the full rise of Lanli, a "detachment" at the end of the year, it seems that it is just a small reef, even "People" magazine and "Time" magazine in the year-end summary, did not hesitate to mention Lanli, become the best footnote to this golden year.
Obviously, this is the year that belongs to the Blue Rites.
