Chapter 432

Even if he said it himself, Andy thought it was crazy.

No matter whether people like it or not, whether the censure is increased or not, and whether the ceremony is commercial or not, no one can deny that the Oscar is now the most eye-catching golden age in the global film industry. The authority, recognition, attention, popularity and so on are far ahead of the others, and they are worthy of the top position.

The first big screen work alone has won Oscar nominations, which is one of the few achievements in history; What's more, it's not just a "buried alive" movie. Recently, "crazy love", which made a big splash at the Sundance Film Festival, has also attracted much attention. In addition, "speed and passion 5" which entered the early stage of publicity has also attracted much attention——

It can be imagined that when lanli appears on the red carpet, it is bound to become one of the focuses of attention.

Andy naturally understood what Langley said. At the Oscars, stars are shining. It's not easy for anyone to stand out. Even the winner of the little gold medal may be taken away from the limelight, not to mention the new actors like Langley; But the point of being at the Oscars has never been to be a little golden man - at least for an agent.

The Academy Awards ceremony is not only the best place to expand contacts and socialize, but also a step-by-step way to break down barriers and easily get in touch with most of the top leaders in the industry; It's also the most exposed event in Hollywood, and the eyes of the world will focus on it. How many newcomers or third tier actors have been working hard to get on the Oscar red carpet all their lives.

So, since "buried alive" landed in Toronto Film Festival, Andy has been planning, operating and busy for several months, and the ultimate goal is the Oscar ceremony.

As a result, Andy's dream comes true, and lanli gains himself by "burying alive". Andy has already planned to push lanli's popularity and exposure to a new height through the Oscar stage, and then retreat bravely, and put into the shooting of "anti-cancer me" and "detachment", showing a low-key and professional actor posture; After two months of silence, the release time of "speed and passion 5" came. The exposure rate rose again and again. The shooting experience of the past period was released in the form of an exclusive interview to deepen the positive impression of the audience

It is no exaggeration to say that the Oscar is the core of the core - because its attention and exposure index are irreplaceable. What's the lack of lanli now? It is not the appreciation of the industry, nor the pursuit of the media, but the recognition of the general public. So, Oscar is the best stage to be worthy of.

But now

Andy knows that he has 100 or 1000 reasons to persuade Langley to attend the Oscars. He also believes that Langley will attend; But it takes only one reason to overturn all the others:

The state of Langley.

Andy is not sure what the overall condition of Langley is now, his physical and mental condition; Andy is not sure what the state of Langley's involvement in the play is, and when that kind of infatuation will break out. But what Andy can be sure of is that Langley's situation is not good, or even bad.

As Lan Li said, in fact, to attend the Oscars this year is to accompany others. Social networking and exposure are the real purpose. This means that Lan Li has to face a lot of social activities. Dealing with the media is just a small matter. Dealing with the smug senior actors, big name producers and even the big men of film production companies is the real problem.

In terms of the current situation of lanli, or in other words, the situation of lanli's conversation just now, lanli is just like a time bomb. No one knows when it will explode or who it will target. I'm afraid it will be self defeating to attend in such a state.

However, in the face of such a situation, other agents will not care which actor has no physical or mental problems. In Hollywood's vanity fair, no one will give up attending the Oscars for the sake of this "little situation".

After all, many actors can only win one Oscar nomination in their lifetime. For example, Adrian Brody has only won one nomination; Even for the top actors, their career nominations are very limited. For example, Johnny Depp only received three nominations in his whole career.

For most actors, every Oscar nomination is a rare opportunity, which is likely to be missed and never be seen again; Or to put it another way, with the first nomination, we must firmly grasp it and open up a situation for the potential second nomination in the future. Therefore, when the opportunity comes, even if it's climbing, it's also necessary to climb in the past.

Exactly speaking, if it's other actors, Andy won't care. Like other agents, even if the actors don't want to, he will use tough means to force the other party to attend.

Apart from nominations, it's a certainty to increase the exposure of an Oscar, even if there's not much social success. It can be said that to attend the award ceremony is a business that can make no loss. Otherwise, why is everyone in Hollywood flocking to the Oscars? Even the concept of award season is based on Oscar!

But Langley is not someone else, nor any other actor.

At the beginning, Andy went out of his way and chose to sign a contract with lanli, so he was ready. He knew what kind of actor he chose.

Hollywood has more than 400000 actors, but only tens of thousands of agents; And every year there are too many new actors, just want a potential actor who can control at will, Andy's choice is endless. But he still chose lanli, the most difficult one. Because Andy believes that Langley is special.

This is a special moment like this.

In order to contribute to the top performance, lanli is almost infatuated and deeply involved. He is wholeheartedly engaged in the study of the performance, and is completely integrated with the role. There is not much madness, concentration and persistence even in the whole Hollywood.

Andy can't understand why a comedy movie puts Langley in such a situation. He needs to have a good chat with Seth about this; However, Andy can see that the boundary between reality and illusion can no longer be seen in Langley. Even he can't tell whether Langley or Adam is in front of him.

This feeling is really weird, as if the virtual characters in the movie screen come directly to real life, even more weird than those moving pictures in "Harry Potter". But it happened in front of Andy's eyes.

Andy can't help thinking of Heath Ledger.

In fact, long before Brokeback Mountain, heath had been a potential new star favored by countless people, while Ang Lee just provided a platform and then witnessed his rise. Later, when shooting "Batman: The Dark Knight", heath was immersed in the world of clowns, too deep to extricate himself. Finally, he died young.

From "buried alive" to "love crazy", and then to "anti-cancer me", lanli's persistence and enthusiasm for acting really moved Andy. He is sure that one day in the future, Langley will become a top star, just like Marlon Brando and Tom Hanks. But in addition to the aura of superstar, Langley is first of all an actor, a real actor.

Andy firmly believes that this will not be the only nomination of Langley, even though Langley is only 21 years old, full of uncertainty. But in Andy's opinion, it is because Langley is only 21 years old that the future is full of countless possibilities and hopes.

What's more, Andy doesn't want to see another star fall.

It's bad to miss the Oscars, but it's not the end of the world; Missing an actor like Langley is the real end of the world.

In the real society, people can be ambitious, but they can't be too greedy or too blind. Only when they learn to accept the principle of "gain and loss", can they go on for a long time. Perhaps, with the two rare works of "anti-cancer me" and "detachment", both characters are perfectly suitable for lanli's age; So, missing the Oscars is an unavoidable loss.

In a short time, Andy's inner balance has made a choice. But... This is crazy! Even if Andy has been in Hollywood for nearly a decade, there are only a few such incredible situations.
