486 Shining Comet
"So, why aren't there any female companions at the awards ceremony today?" Sean didn't give Lance a respite and threw the question out again.
Lance's eyes paused slightly on Sean's face, generally speaking, when encountering such a problem on the red carpet, he made a joke just now, bypassing the topic, and the host would naturally transfer the situation, but the lady in front of him was obviously a novice host, and she actually turned the topic back again. However, whether it was intentional or unintentional is unknown.
Retracting his eyes, the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth narrowed slightly, "I sent out an invitation, but unfortunately it was rejected in the end." So, I showed up here, alone. Lance's words were very simple and not deliberately decorated, and the ease between the words was a hint of ridicule, but it made people feel lost.
"Oh." Sean couldn't help but sigh regretfully, and many ladies around him also covered their chests, their faces full of distress, "Jesus Christ, it's really cruel that someone actually refused your invitation." ”
"I wish I was Jesus, maybe that way I wouldn't be rejected." This repudiative remark was a religious joke that caused many people in the audience to laugh, but it offended some devout religious believers who obviously did not want their faith to be the object of some man's joke.
Sean's expression was stunned, she was a devout Catholic, and Lance's open-mouthed mouth made her feel uncomfortable, "Unfortunately, you're not." Sean shot back in a sarcastic tone, but Lance didn't seem to care too much, still maintaining a polite smile, Sean quickly retracted his thoughts and returned to his work, "So, the Oscars are here, it's a big day, congratulations on winning the nomination for Best Supporting Actor!" How was it, did you anticipate this day? ”
Sean specifically mentioned Best Supporting Actor, which is also the main concern of all journalists, and Lance's actor identity is not only more gimmicky than that of director and screenwriter, but also more exciting. After all, the actors are the real focus standing in the spotlight, not the director, not the screenwriter, not the producer, but the actor. Perhaps, the most powerful people in Hollywood are directors and producers, but the audience always cares most about the actors.
"No, of course not." Lance modestly waved his hand, "If a month ago, someone had told me that I could be like Clint Eastwood, I would definitely have thought it was a prank." ”
Lance was joking about Clint as the old cowboy won nominations for Best Director and Best Actor for "Million Dollar Baby," while Lance made it to the top five in the Best Director and Best Supporting Actor categories. Everyone says that Clint is the darling of the academy and can always win a lot of attention at the Oscars, and it is clear that Lance's self-deprecation is actually an irony of Clint.
"Clint Eastwood?" Sean wrinkled his nose and looked surprised, "I thought you were going to say Woody Allen." ”
Sean's remark has two meanings, on the one hand, it emphasizes that Lance won three individual nominations, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay, while Woody Allen also won three individual nominations in 1977 for his "Annie Hall"; On the one hand, it is fighting back, Clint's personal charm is popular all over Hollywood, and Woody's vitriolic is always out of step with Los Angeles, always entrenched on the island of Manhattan, contented, such an analogy is a satire that Lance's style is not suitable for Los Angeles.
In the flash of lightning, Lance showed a slightly exaggerated expression of surprise, and frowned, "Are you sure it's Mr. Woody Allen?" I mean, Mr. Allen is brilliant, but ...... I thought you were going to say Mr. Warren Beatty. To put it mildly, Lance fought back.
Hearing the name "Warren Beatty", the fans on both sides of the scene began to scream again, and the crazy shouting almost made the cameraman unsteady, and even the reporters began to heckle, and many of them even whistled and shouted, "Lance, good job!" ”
Warren is also one of the most famous talents in Oscar history, and his films "Beacon of Love" and "Heaven Can Wait" both won him four individual nominations: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay - the former for originality and the latter for adaptation.
Lance fired back with a similar analogy, while also pandering to the media that made him "Warren Beatty II". Sure enough, everyone from reporters to fans heard Lance's overtones, and the roaring cheers made it impossible for Sean to continue on this issue - don't forget, this is the Oscar red carpet, not a-for-tat talk show. Lance's use of the crowd of bystanders made him invincible.
Sean knew that she couldn't continue to attack, otherwise she would be really derelict in her job today, but Lance's exit just now was not inferior, and she had already made her attitude clear. So she didn't continue to dwell, but continued with Lance's words, "Warren Beatty, that's an interesting answer, especially since you're alone on the red carpet today. Sean's teasing made the reporters laugh again, "I thought you would choose Lawrence Oliver, though." ”
As one of the greatest actors in history, Lawrence was nominated for both the Oscar for Best Director and Best Actor for "Hamlet", and he is also the first artist in film history to win both nominations. However, compared to directing, Lawrence's real main business is still as an actor. Sean's remark is a hint: Doesn't Lance want to win Best Supporting Actor?
Lance chuckled and waved his hand, "I'm not a greedy person. This sentence sounds rough and can be understood as Lance's modesty, as long as he wins the nomination, it is enough, and he will not want to get the little golden man further, after all, this is only his debut novel, and it is also the first nomination; It can also be understood that Lance does not think that he can be compared to Lawrence, and exerts a high moral character.
But upon closer inspection, it's interesting: Lance has more than one individual nomination at this year's Oscars. The deep meaning is different from each other.
However, the conversation on the scene was fleeting, and many people didn't even have time to think about it, and the topic continued to be promoted. The same goes for Sean, who didn't have time to seriously reflect on it before she would ask the next question again, "To be honest, when I saw you appear as an actor in 'Kill with a Knife', my first reaction was surprise, as if this is your place, of course, I am not denying your talent as a director and screenwriter." ”
There was a chuckle from all around, including Lance, "I'll take that as an appreciation." After saying that, Lance deliberately straightened his chest, as if emphasizing his handsomeness and chic, which really made people laugh.
"Tell us a little bit about how you feel as an actor?" Sean's next few questions are all conventional routes, including Lance's feelings about working with Tom, and whether Lance still has plans to appear in a movie in the future, and Lance is naturally comfortable dealing with these questions.
Just when Lance thought the interview was over - because Leonardo DiCaprio appeared on the red carpet with Gisele-Bundchen (Gisele-Bundchen), he was definitely one of the big spots of the day, but Sean continued to ask, "You also won a nomination for Best Original Screenplay this year, which is the second time you have proven your screenwriting talent after last year, do you have more expectations for tonight's awards ceremony?" ”
Lance looked back from the beginning of the red carpet and said with a smile, "I wish I were Woody Allen, but the wishes are beautiful and the reality is cruel." A playful joke made the words and the previous conversation complement each other, and at the same time with self-mocking wisdom, which made many reporters around whistle and even applaud, coupled with the uncontrollable screams of the audience, the scene looked like a fan meeting.
In the long history of the Oscars, there is only one screenwriter and acting golden, Emma-Thompson, the British talent who has made history with "Howard Manor" and "Sense and Sensibility", reaching heights that Woody has not touched. This shows how difficult it is to set this record.
Lance's words just now were undoubtedly saying that he wanted to win the award, but it was obviously too difficult, so he was normal. However, such a polite scene was said in a witty way, and it easily won a full house.
Leonardo and Giselle gracefully walked the red carpet, receiving the screams and shouts coming from all directions, such scenes were already familiar to him, and since the "Titanic", he has begun to adapt to life in the midst of a raging crowd. Today, however, Leonardo was a little nervous - because the Oscar statuetts were close and within reach, and the urgency and nervousness made his palms extremely slippery.
Standing at the beginning of the red carpet, Leonardo stopped, smiled and nodded to the sides, waiting for the reporters to take pictures. However, the flashing lights were not as turbulent as expected, and the screams were not as crazy as imagined, and Leonardo, who was surrounded by nervousness, faintly sensed uneasiness, and a burst of tinnitus came from his ears.
Leonardo suppressed his inner apprehension, smiled and met the omnipresent sight, and then saw the back through the dazzling flash, standing tall like a pine and cypress in the encirclement, he took a step, and all the eyes around him, all the lenses, all the flashes, all the focal points moved with him, as if the center of the universe was firmly attracting all the starlight.
The figure moved forward calmly, gradually swallowed up by the blinding light, leaving a vague outline, but even so, the attention on both sides remained like a shadow, and it was not until the whole outline disappeared that people reluctantly turned back. This made Leonardo a little lost and a little curious, and the mixed emotions danced gently on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't have time to taste it, hulala, all eyes shifted to him, like a huge wave.
Flashing lights, screams, and shouts drowned out Leonardo and Giselle in an instant. (To be continued.) )
