"After getting the Oscar, you choose to go back to the west end and concentrate on your performance; Now that you're back in the limelight, standing in the center of Hollywood, how do you feel about that? I mean, you're so young, you've been on top of the world overnight, but you've chosen to stay away from the limelight, and it must be a very interesting experience to come back now. "
The problem comes from Daisy Lucas of vanity fair. This is a very skillful guiding question. It mentions the Oscar topic that everyone cares about, but it leads to the focus of age in a relatively mild way.
For journalists, questioning is a profound and complex knowledge. Those simple and rude ways of asking questions have no effect on professionals like lanli. The 2008 Oscar nominated film "dialogue with Nixon" shows this vividly and truly.
"I think it's an interesting question. When you put it forward, you have already acquiesced that the west end and Broadway are forgotten corners. " Keen and sharp, Lan Li easily captured the core idea of the whole question and opened a new way to answer it.
Then, Lan Li could see the vigilance of the reporters. He couldn't help smiling and waving his hand, "I don't want to criticize or argue this issue. I just want to say that for the media, the difference between the west side and Hollywood is the degree of attention; But for actors, the difference between the west end and Hollywood lies in the stage. One is the performance standing in front of the camera, the other is the performance stripping everything in front of the audience. "
"I have to admit that choosing the west side, in a sense, I really want to leave the spotlight, because I need some calm time, some thinking time. Oscar, it's all coming too soon. Maybe you don't believe it, but the truth is, I'm only 22 years old. " Lan Li's words made all reporters smile, even Lan Li himself couldn't help smiling.
In terms of psychological age, lanli is 54 years old; But in Hollywood, a strange Vanity Fair, the experience of this life is all. This is also true.
"But beyond that, more importantly, I wanted to be a better actor, and the west end and Broadway could help me achieve that, so I chose to go back." "Coming back again, to be honest, I'm starting to miss the stage on the west side now," he said sincerely
"It's very special for actors to stand on that stage, and I believe it's also very special for audiences. So, if I have the opportunity, I welcome everyone to come to the west end or Broadway to watch the performance." Lanli shrugged. "I'm not worried about attendance. I sincerely hope that the audience can appreciate the beauty and essence of different art forms."
This is after the Oscar. In fact, George and Elizabeth don't know the truth, but no one has ever revealed it. They just maintain the superficial peace, pretending that what they see is the most real. They continue to live secretly, maintaining the noble's bright beauty and happiness.
Today, Edith finally took off her disguise and bravely showed herself in broad daylight and in public.
After today, George and Elizabeth can no longer pretend not to know, because Edith chose a Hollywood movie premiere, and it is also the premiere of "tomorrow's edge" - with the topic of Langley, it is bound to spread back to London, they have no way to continue to ignore it.
Randy had to applaud Edith and pay his respects.
Through the crowd, lanli and Edith's eyes touch each other in the air. They keep silent, don't speak, don't communicate, just look at each other with a smile. Separated from the crowd, separated from the distance, separated from the space, all in silence.
Then Edith tilted her head slightly and motioned to Chris. Even without words, lanli understood her meaning: now, you have no more control over me, and that photo has no threat effect; Besides, I have a flower escort. Now you have to be careful. He's captain of the United States.
But Lan Li turned his mouth, and his eyes fell on Chris. He looked at Chris meaningfully, showing a look of disgust and disdain, as if to say: your taste is really bad.
With just one look in her eyes, Edith was gnashing her teeth; However, Lan Li turns around and walks away, and finally enters the Chinese theater. Edith and Chris were surrounded by reporters and stayed where they were.
The noise of the premiere is coming to an end, but Langley knows that the storm has just begun.
