People are always like this, eager to know the future, but afraid of the future.
If we know in advance that the result is doomed to failure, how many people are willing to continue to try? If we have known for a long time that efforts are doomed to be futile, how many people are willing to go back without hesitation? The answer is - very few.
Most of the time, most people are bound by the so-called future, because of fear of failure, because of rejection of waste, because of utilitarianism, and finally choose to hold back, or change their ways. But Langley is not "most people.".
He will not choose to give up before trying, he will not choose to retreat before trying. If he is afraid of failure, he will make a different choice in the beginning. He can choose a more relaxed and simpler path according to the family plan. But he chose this way.
The charm of the future lies in the unknown. It can be following the history or changing the history. Only after working hard can we know the result.
The results of the 83rd Academy Awards still follow the track of history, and have not changed because of the appearance of the little butterfly. For Langley, the result was insignificant.
Looking at Rooney in front of her, lenley chuckled and joked, "so you left because 'social network' lost?" Lan Li's mood has not been affected, no disappointment, no regret.
LUNI's eyes fell on the corner of lanli's mouth, and involuntarily rose with her. She asked, "what do you think?"
"I'm sorry, forgive me for being rude. I forgot that we were talking about Oscar Instead of giving a positive answer, Langley made a self mockery in a relaxed manner, but the calm tone, no matter how it sounds, seems to satirize the invariability and decadence of Oscar, which is exactly the same as what Rooney said just now.
LUNI burst out laughing, which made Lan Li raise her eyebrow slightly, and her eyes showed confusion and confusion.
Although lanli's words just now were quite humorous, they didn't make people laugh. Rooney's reaction was really... Too much.
Rooney turned her head to avoid her smile being too impolite and offending lanli. But she kept stirring her shoulders without any cover. She controlled it a little and the laughter calmed down a little. She turned her head again, with a bright smile in her eyes. Her whole face softened down. "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now. To be honest, your brain is very eye-catching now. It's trying to grab all the attention. "
Lan Li raised his eyes and looked up. Although he couldn't see his head, he didn't feel any less chilly. He reminded him that it was windy at night. Be careful to catch a cold.
He raised his right hand and touched his forehead twice. His eyebrows were slightly raised by the hairy and sharp strange touch. It can be seen that he is also adapting to this earth shaking change.
This simple action, combined with lanli's small expression on the tip of eyebrows and corner of mouth, made Rooney's smile pull up again.
The blue ceremony in front of me is so familiar, but so strange. The cool blue moonlight falls on my shoulders. There is a smile on my cheek that has no time to fade away. However, it is hidden behind me, but... With a touch of sadness and loneliness. The loneliness precipitates between my eyebrows, and even the moonlight becomes soft.
Rooney vaguely understood what the bald head meant.
"So, do you really don't care about Oscar winners?" Lu Ni had already had her own guess in her heart, but she still asked. She looked at the man in front of her, stopped for a moment, and then showed a playful smile. "Or do you know that even if you attend, it will not change, so you deliberately choose not to go, at least from the perspective of publicity, You can be invincible. "
Straightforward, sharp, sharp, even with a little attack. No one can forget that just a few days ago, reporters were still condemning lanli for being a means of speculation. All of them were a speculation trap, which triggered a frenzy of public opinion; But now, in her way, Rooney has thrown out this kind of doubt again without concealing it.
Lan Li was not enraged. He just shrugged his shoulders with a smile. He didn't even have the intention to respond.
Such a calm attitude, it seems that she doesn't care at all, which makes Rooney also have some helplessness.
However, Rooney is not easy to give up personality, she did not ask, but seriously met the eyes of Lan Li, that full of tenacity eyes motionless fell on Lan Li, put on a "do not get the answer will not give up easily" posture.
If I say that I really want to attend the Oscars, do you believe it
Rooney's eyebrows lifted lightly, apparently not believing.
But Langley shrugged again and said with a smile, "I'm serious." This kind of answer completely stunned Rooney. She could hear that Langley was not joking.
There was no pause, and then Langley said, "it's just that there's something more important."
The understatement, without any unnecessary modification, is simple and clear, but it sounds like a bell in the ears of Rooney. It is deafening, and the agitation of the soul and the tsunami of thought are endless.
Tonight at Kodak Theater, Rooney never found a sense of belonging, always felt out of place, and finally ran away.
She thinks it's because she resists being labeled as a business. She thinks it's because the Oscars are no longer a pure Film Festival. She thinks it's because the award of the little golden man is no longer a contest of strength, but a game of public relations... But in fact, it's not the case - more accurately, it's the case, but it's not the case.
It's never the Oscars themselves that matter, it's what's on top of them.
If it is Meryl Streep, Daniel Day Lewis and other top-level veteran actors who have given wonderful performances, stepped onto the red carpet of the Oscar, welcomed their own praise, gained their own affirmation and enjoyed their own lights, then the Oscar will be the most grand, authoritative and grand stage in the world.
If the idol vases such as Kim Kardashian and Robert Pattinson, or even no performance works, appear at the Oscars just for the sake of exposure, just like a beautifully packaged gift box under the spotlight, waiting to be sold, then even if it is not the Oscars, any other award ceremony will be dull.
What Rooney resisted was not Oscar, but herself.
Because in the "social network" work, her performance is really not brilliant, not to mention the nomination, even the vase can not be said, so tonight's attendance is reduced to a downright reality show, and her naked eyes make her look like a cheap commodity; But next time, if she gives a top performance and gets the nomination, she will show up in Kodak Theater and accept her own applause.
It's like Langley.
Acting. It's all about acting.
The performance of "burying alive" is excellent enough. Lanli can walk on the stage of the Oscar ceremony and bathe in the baptism of the magnesium lamp, but lanli is absent, just because the performance of "anti-cancer me" is more important. It originates from performance, ends in performance, changes in performance and returns to performance. It's all about acting.
Oscar is important. Performance is more important.
Rooney suddenly understood the reason why Langley was absent and the reason why she escaped. The whole world suddenly brightened up. It seemed that the hunting wind in Seattle was no longer fierce, but became graceful and exciting.
Once again, her eyes fell on lanli's bald head. Thoughtfully, the bright light flowed from her eyes. The joy, like the wings of a butterfly, fluttered gently.
"I believe you made the right choice." Lu Ni's face showed a smile, not publicity, but very firm, all the irritability and flashiness are gradually precipitated down, feet finally feel down-to-earth again.
"Ha ha." The deep smile surged in lanli's chest, just like the melody that resonates between Cello and bass drum. "Reporters don't necessarily agree with you."
"The point is, do you care?" There was no pause, said Rooney, looking at lenley with a smile.
Although it was a question, her tone was very positive. Her resolute eyes fell on Lan Li's face, with a scorching temperature. Then she saw that the smile on Lan Li's mouth was just like the rising dawn, rising and blooming bit by bit.
Even in silence, Rooney knew that her answer was right. The previous problem is that this time, too.
Looking up, Seattle's dark night sky is covered with countless stars, as if overturning a bamboo basket full of stars. It reminds Rooney of the night of triliureid, the night of the movie. She likes this kind of night.
On the way to the Sunset Tower Hotel, I chose to leave and bought a ticket to leave. This is her wisest decision in the past few months.
Taking back her eyes, Rooney looked at the bald head of lanli seriously. Her calm mind began to surge again. Countless fantastic ideas burst out. After the silence of the whole afternoon and the whole evening, she finally began to recover and regain her vitality. "Talk about your performance tonight. I think it's much more wonderful than the boring award ceremony."
Rooney was a little excited. She tried to keep her voice calm, but her bright eyes still revealed her inner excitement. It's not just a bald head, but also the loneliness and bitterness between Lan Li and Mei Yu. She doesn't know the whole story, cause and effect, but she knows that there must be a wonderful story behind her indifferent look.
