Chapter 433

Langley hall, the biggest black horse in this year's Oscar nomination list, together with Jennifer Lawrence and Haley Stanfield, forms a new generation of "Three Musketeers" - the oldest Langley was born in November 1989, so the media generally called him "three young actors who have not yet obtained the legal drinking qualification".

Of course, in fact, Langley can drink legally.

Throughout this year's award season, discussions about "generation Y" actors have been going on all the way from Toronto to the Oscars. Up to now, whether Natalie Portman can become the first generation Y actor to win a little gold is still a hot topic. Not only the major media, but also the college officials.

After the release of the Oscar nomination list, in fact, all walks of life are greatly disappointed, because the number of generation Y nominees has shrunk by almost two-thirds, which makes people feel the unfriendliness of the academy to young actors again. They still seem to have the idea of the golden age and are unwilling to accept the fact that the 21st century has come. This makes the college controversial and critical.

Under such circumstances, the college had to respond. They pushed out the "Three Musketeers" and intended to make them the representatives of this year's award ceremony to give more encouragement to the younger generation.

Because these three people are really young, even among the actors of generation Y, they are still on their tails. Strictly speaking, Haley, who was born in 1996, is no longer generation y. she belongs to the millennial generation - the generation born after 1991. These three absolutely young actors are enough to bring hope to the fresh blood of Hollywood, and also mean that the younger generation will undoubtedly come on stage.

Since the announcement of the nomination list, both the media and the academy have been making concerted efforts to add fuel to the flames. There are a lot of news focusing on the Three Musketeers. Even though there are enough topics in this year's award season, they still occupy a lot of attention. It can be said that many people are looking forward to the presence of the Three Musketeers.

But now, Lan Li is absent? And at the last critical moment?

Like the guest list of the wedding banquet, the attendance lineup of the Academy Awards ceremony is not only difficult to give birth, but also complicated. Generally speaking, since mid December, the academy has begun to arrange guests.

Although it is still a long time before the announcement of the nomination list in December, even within the college, it is impossible to predict the results. However, since the award season began, the major awards of the wind vane have been presented one after another, and the objects worthy of attention have also come to the surface. In addition, top brands like Tom Hanks and George Clooney, They are welcome to the college at any time.

Therefore, the college will issue invitation letters in four to five batches. The first batch may be new topics worthy of attention, and a large number of them will be updated every year; The second group may be the winners of the award season. Whether they can win the Oscar nomination or not, their attendance is bound to get enough attention. and so on.

After the nomination list comes out, the college will send a batch of invitation letters again. On the one hand, it is to prevent the black horse from being included in the nomination list, such as Haili this year. On the other hand, it is the heavyweight prize awarding guests. For the sake of popularity and attention, as well as the game of major brokerage companies, the invitation of these top guests will be the highlight of the night of the award ceremony.

Willing to attend, refusing to attend. No matter what the answer is, the invitees are required to give a reply as soon as possible. If the schedule conflicts and they are unable to attend, the college can also prepare a backup plan to avoid embarrassment and confusion. Moreover, each award must have a corresponding awarding guest and rehearse a string of words, which is not careless.

All in all, this is a careful and comprehensive process, and the college will try to minimize the unexpected situation.

Of course, are there any special circumstances? yes.

For example, Woody Allen, after the college sends out an invitation, he can consider it slowly and decide whether to attend or not. He may also choose the "no" option at the last minute. But even woody, he didn't procrastinate too long. He told the College of his decision early, so that they could make arrangements for the ceremony.

At this moment, with only one week to go before the Academy Awards ceremony, Langley is determined to be absent at the last critical moment?

This... Definitely killed everyone by surprise, and it was still under the condition that he had nodded his head before. If it is not handled properly, it will offend the judges of the college. Once the case is left behind, it will take twice as much effort to turn over the case in the future. What's worse, after the efforts, it is likely that the results will not be changed - Pride and prejudice, which can be said to be the motto of the college.

This is the most fatal!

The most famous case in Hollywood is Viggo Mortensen.

At that time, when he played Aragorn, the king of humanity in the "Lord of the rings", especially in the third film, there was a lot of nominations in the award season. However, Viggo was not interested in Oscar at all. He almost missed the academy public relations in the whole award season, and naturally he didn't get any nominations in the end.

Later, Viggo collaborated with David Cronenberg twice in 2005 and 2007 respectively, and won the best actor Oscar nomination with "Oriental promise". In that year's selection, Daniel Day Lewis, the "blood is coming", was the best. Others could hardly pose a threat. However, it is recognized in the industry that Viggo is the biggest challenger. In the previous wind benchmarking, Viggo has gained a lot of praise.

However, vygo not only refuses to publicize, but also thinks that the Oscar is just a "game", which he disdains very much.

This gesture fell into the ears of professionals in the industry and spread. Coupled with the indifference and alienation in 2003, he was on the blacklist of the college.

After that, Viggo gave countless wonderful performances, such as the "doomsday peril" in 2009, the "dangerous method" in 2011, and the "stay away from people" in 2014. These works have received numerous affirmation in Europe, and won a lot of awards from critics associations and film festivals, but they have always been ignored in North America.

It wasn't until 2016 that Viggo put down his posture and went all the way to tell the story for the low-cost independent film "magic captain", and even took the initiative to attend numerous public relations activities to really integrate into Hollywood, which won the best actor Oscar nomination at one stroke.

In other words, not everyone can be Woody Allen.

Now, just thinking about it in his head, Andy has a splitting headache.

However, Andy is not the type of indecision. After making a choice, even if he is in a dilemma, he should stick to it in the end, "yes, I won't attend." There is no hesitation in killing and cutting fruit.

Lanli looked at Andy in front of him, but he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and agreed, "OK."

The promise was so straightforward that there was no nostalgia at all. Andy felt that his chest was a little blocked, but he was not surprised. He could only shake his head helplessly, "then have a good rest. Will you continue to work tomorrow? "

Although it's a question, Andy already knows the answer.

Sure enough, Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "next is the difficult part." Langley looks at Andy quietly. He knows how important it is to be absent from the Oscars.

In fact, Hollywood vanity fair and British aristocratic Vanity Fair come down in one continuous line.

Oscar is like the Queen's private banquet. Everyone knows that it's extremely difficult to attend such a banquet and want to talk to the queen. Most people will be reduced to the background board after they attend. But no one will be absent. Any absent person is bound to become the focus of onlookers, and even become the chatting material after dinner in social occasions.

In short, when the nobles hold banquets in the future, this person will enter the blacklist, not necessarily not invited. After all, the social network of the nobles is complicated. If you look at it again and again, maybe they are all relatives; However, the strength, enthusiasm and frequency of invitation will plummet, and then unconsciously become the outcast of the social arena.

Now, so is Oscar. Unless Langley, like Woody Allen, stands aloof, but has become an art representative of the east coast of New York. Then, the college can only swallow it. Otherwise, things will be very difficult.

As Langley said, he can attend if necessary.

For the aristocrats in London, this is one of the things they are good at: hiding their true emotions and state in public, and completing all social activities with ease, even in special circumstances.

For example, aristocrats can control their own hiccups - not the action itself, because the action itself cannot be controlled; But when they realize that they are about to burp, they will quietly cover up the past by adjusting their breath or hiding their words, and then turn away.

Because burping is a very impolite behavior, which is harmful to the noble's manners, even if it is the natural reaction of the body. It sounds incredible, but it's real in real life.

Of course, such a move is not without traces. It's natural for the old doggies to be clear at a glance, and then it will become the talk behind them; But for the novice or layman, they are not aware of it at all.

As for the small etiquette of controlling farting, it can only be said that it is sprinkling water.

In other words, Oscar, he can attend, just, he doesn't want to.

Compared with Oscar, he now has more important things to complete - the exploration of Methodist acting skills.

Originally, lanli thought that Andy would ask or nag, but he didn't expect that Andy turned around and was ready to leave. It seemed that he was going to have a good rest.

To tell you the truth, a trace of warmth flowed through Lan Li's heart. Because he knows better than anyone what a tough decision it was for Andy.

"What about the academy? What are your plans? " Lan Li asked.
