"Welcome to the Oscars, rookie, welcome to a whole new world."
Harvey said meaningfully, it's not just to welcome Langley to the Oscars for the first time; At the same time, it is also a hint that Langley really entered the core circle of Hollywood for the first time tonight. Before that, he was just wandering around the periphery.
Langley's face remained unchanged, and his eyes fell on Harvey's left hand - the one that hugged him on the shoulder, and then said with a smile, "at least I can confirm one thing. This is not the world I know."
In the UK, especially in the upper class, they will never make such a "intimate but vulgar and impolite" move, slapping each other casually on the shoulder, arm and back, which is out of season; Not to mention such a big hug. For the upper class, this is an act of disrespect, impoliteness and error. Only one act reveals the difference of class, quality and inside information.
In recent years, after success. Harvey, like other celebrities in the entertainment circle, has been trying to get the crown and nobility of the British royal family, fame and wealth, fame in the first place and wealth in the second place; A title of nobility is the highest level of commendation for people who come from the entertainment industry.
Even David Becks is no exception.
The football superstar, who has always been a graceful gentleman and philanthropic, has a high status among British celebrities; However, he has also been trying to gain Royal recognition.
In 2017, hackers broke out an email between David and his agent. David yelled at the royal family many times, complaining that they didn't crown him. At the same time, he also said that he didn't want to participate in those charity activities if it wasn't for the title of nobility.
For Harvey, he frequently commuted between Britain and the United States, and he also knew a little about aristocratic etiquette and rules. At this time, lanli's sarcasm and ridicule hurt Harvey's dignity. The feeling of being extremely small and humble lingered in his heart, and his frustration and depression almost burst out in his chest.
Harvey's left hand suddenly became chatty, almost unable to suppress emotions, clenched into a fist, rage rampant, almost out of control; But the next moment, Harvey controlled himself, after a long time in the battlefield, he was not the hairy boy of that year.
"Well, maybe you'd better go back to the world you know." Harvey's gloomy and sharp words came out of his teeth word by word.
But lanli didn't care, as if Harvey's words couldn't bring any harm. Water and fire didn't invade, and swords couldn't hurt. "He never left. In fact, it's amazing that we should meet here today, don't you think? "
The last time we met, it was the Sundance Film Festival, and "crazy love" was just an independent work of art, costing 250000 US dollars, which was difficult to break through among the works; Today's goodbye, but at the Oscar ceremony, "love crazy" received the best actor nomination, and received numerous praise.
After a new face, the original confrontation continued in another form on another stage.
Harvey is still the Harvey, and Langley is still the Langley. Two people still stick to their own world and fight each other.
Harvey's left hand seemed to touch the charcoal fire. He jerked it back and put it down. His smile disappeared. His eyes were sharp and he said meaningfully, "I agree. Well, tonight, good luck. "
"Good luck" seems to have become everyone's mantra. Lan Li can't help but smile, "of course, I can use some luck. Good luck, too
Originally, lanli just politely responded, but then he saw that Harvey's face turned black without any superfluous words. Lanli was still slightly stunned: did he say something wrong?
Then when he thought about it seriously, lanli himself was dumbfounded: for Harvey, what he needed was not luck. After a long season of planning and promotion, what he needed was a natural result. Luck, which is the lucky charm of the weak, is the great shame of the strong.
But Langley must make it clear that he didn't really mean sarcasm just now - at least not in the last sentence. Inadvertently stepped on Harvey's mine, lanli said he was very innocent.
But... The damage has been done, so let it be.
Instead of staying in the same place, lanli finds Ryan Gosling's figure, raises his foot to greet him, and is ready to say hello. However, after only two steps, two figures are inserted obliquely in front of him, one in front of the other, blocking his way.
In front of that wind and fire, as if stepped on the wind and fire wheel general, behind a burst of strong wind; The one in the back is in a hurry, trying to calm the people in front, but the effect is not obvious.
Then, the two figures stood in front of Lan Li.
Standing at the back of the small flat head, a little curly hair, only a short flat head, but still curled up, he looked at Lan Li, expression slightly embarrassed, pushed the eyes on the bridge of the nose, showing neat white teeth, showing a big smile, "Hey, Lan Li." Then he pointed to the person standing in front of him, "please forgive his enthusiasm. It's always easy to lose control. I hope we didn't scare you."
Lan Li chuckled and nodded politely, "Ethan, it's always fun to meet unexpectedly, not frightening. What's more, it's an Oscar night, and all reason doesn't count. I've just clenched my fist. " Said, Lan Li also raised his clenched right fist, as if to say: there is no rational control, if they further forward, the fist will respond.
Such a humorous way of greeting really makes people laugh, and the tense atmosphere is slightly relieved.
Standing in front of us is another pair of famous brothers in Hollywood, the Cohen brothers. The impulsive one is Joel Cohen; The calm one is Ethan Cohen.
"We don't need these humorous and polite conversations without any nutrition." Joel is still that irascible and acute man. He waves his hand and simply and directly interrupts the conversation between lanli and Ethan. "I just want to say, sorry, I made a wrong judgment. My last behavior was too bad, which can't be forgiven. Here, I would like to express my apology. "
Last time? Berlin Film Festival?
It was the first time that Langley and the Cohen brothers met, but the two brothers showed alienation and disdain.
Obviously, they have heard the rumors in the Hollywood industry. Under the intentional promotion of the Weinstein brothers, Langley has become an unscrupulous and shameless villain. But now, when the truth comes out, the Cohen brothers know that they have made a wrong judgment.
Lanli's memory revived, then nodded with a smile and suddenly realized, "I don't know that's a serious problem. Don't worry. "
Lenley is serious.
In Hollywood, where rumors abound, a few words in the gossip always bring bad negative effects; Before the meeting, we have formed a relatively fixed negative impression, and there are countless similar situations. What's more, although the Cohen brothers were not very friendly last time, they were far from bad. There was no need for them to apologize.
Joel frowned and shook his head. "I don't like your response. It's too polite and gentlemanly. It looks like you're wearing a mask. There's no sincerity."
Blue Li's vision slightly a meal, for Joel's straightforward and calm some accident; Seeing Ethan standing in the back, Yu Guang said, "sorry, lanli, he's a jerk. Everyone who has come into contact with him knows that. I don't know how Francis put up with him
Frances McDormand, the wife of Joel Cohen, has played in many works of the two brothers and won the Oscar for "ice blood storm".
Lanli chuckled, and first he closed his chin to Ethan. "Every artist is a jerk. I think we are used to that." We, this subject is obviously a pun, which instantly includes Ethan and Langley himself into the category of asshole, which makes Ethan stunned and then show a big smile.
Then he looked at Joel and said seriously, "I accept your apology."
In a crisp response, Joel nodded contentedly, then hit it, hit it in the mouth, "you're an interesting guy. The rumor is not so unreliable After reaching a conclusion, Joel snapped his fingers. "Well, good luck tonight." With that, Joel didn't stay much longer, turned and left.
Come here and leave. It's really... A self-centered artist.
Ethan didn't have time at all. He looked at Joel's back and looked back at lenley. "I'm serious. Joel is serious. Last time we met, we were really rude. Now, we all regret that we missed the "detachment" and don't know when we will be able to see it on the big screen. "
"We can only pray that Tony Kaye can find the right publisher." Lan Li's serious reply, but with a trace of ridicule:
Ethan may be polite or sincere, while Langley responds in a semi serious way with a hint of self mockery -- the release of art films is really a long-standing problem. Such contrast creates a sense of humor.
Ethan was dumbfounded and nodded, "good luck tonight!" Then, nodding goodbye, he turned to chase Joel in the direction he left.
After the Cohen brothers left one after another, Langley saw Rooney Marla standing in the crowd. She was standing with several young actresses, such as Jennifer Lawrence and shailene Woodley, and had a good talk.
Jennifer also found lanli's figure, raised her right hand high and waved it exaggeratively. The action was very eye-catching.
Rooney chuckled, raised her champagne glass, signaled a salute, and mouthed, "good luck."
The corner of lanli's mouth couldn't be controlled any more. He rose brightly, and even his eyes were full of smiles. He shook his head helplessly
It seems that tonight he really needs a lot of luck.
