The trophies of the Tony Awards are quietly placed on the dining table of the kitchen, and next to them are three trophies of the Oscars, Grammys and Emmys.
Around each other are torn potato bags and cut fruit platters. In addition, there is a handful of flowers lying upside down. There is no window inlay and embellishment, and there is no light attention and surrounded. It reveals a strong flavor of life. It looks like a replica just bought from the supermarket. It is put on the dining table, ready to be left for children as props for school projects.
This is the egot that drives the whole of North America crazy.
In fact, such a picture of life, not only does not make people feel profane and insulting, but also reveals a different kind of sacred atmosphere——
When performance becomes a part of life and stage becomes an extension of life, then trophies and praise become a corner of reality. They are important, but not the most important, works and characters, performance and art.
It's like cliche and falsehood, even full of hypocrisy; But that's the reality.
The party is still going on, but without the mingling and glinting of vanity fair, everything is simple and warm.
Some people are talking about the inconceivability of tonight. Before Charlotte announced the answer, no one expected such a result. The courage shown by the American theater association is really admirable.
Some people are talking about the "miserable world" of Langley's version. After they have really watched different versions of the cast, their perception and perception are quite different. This is really a very special experience.
Voices of discontent. The Hollywood turn the world upside down now. It can clearly make complaints about the envy and complaining. Then, the blue rites should encounter the crowd crowding of actors in Hollywood.
With that, some people talk about the works they are watching, such as movies, TV or novels, and then share their harvest and opinions. They even can't wait to search the bookshelves of Langley. Just like Captain Jack Sparrow came to the treasure of the Caribbean, his eyes began to shine.
It's not like a celebration party. It's more like a gathering of intellectuals or fans of the same interest in Greenwich Village, such as a Book Club. Every conversation can always benefit a lot. The only difference is that alcohol is no longer polite. A party without alcohol and music is not a party.
Rooney Marla, Jack Gyllenhaal and felicity Jones nodded, pushed open the balcony window and went outside for a breath of fresh air. Under the dual effects of alcohol and debate, she now needs to cool her brain a little, otherwise her brain will not work.
"Where's your glass?" All of a sudden, a low voice came from behind, which startled Rooney. She turned around and saw blue Li sitting cross legged in the corner.
"God Lu Ni can't help exclaiming, which makes Lan Li's smile rise slightly. Then, Rooney caught the pride of lanli's eyes, ground her teeth secretly, and poked lanli's knee with her toe, "Hey, is that how you treat guests? Hiding in the corner of the wall, I startled people by surprise? "
Lanli shrugged. "It's called being unconventional."
"I thought you didn't care about being unconventional. Your existence itself is to stick to yourself." Rooney joked.
Lanli sighed with disappointment, "Oh, it's over. Now my trick has been torn down and the magic has disappeared. I knew that I shouldn't drink. Alcohol always makes people show the most real and ugly side inadvertently."
Rooney knew that Langley was joking. Her serious ability to talk nonsense could always confuse the real with the fake. But at this time, Rooney stopped for a moment and said with a serious expression, "but even if I see the most real and ugly side, I still like it."
Joke to joke.
LUNI intended to embarrass lanli with her own "confession", but lanli didn't reply. Instead, she looked at LUNI with a smile. Her clear eyes were covered with a thin mist because of alcohol, and there was a faint blush around her eyes, showing a hint of flattery.
This kind of lanli is really strange.
Instantly, Rooney's ridicule reflected back, projected on her body, and she immediately became embarrassed. Under blue Li's gaze, her cheek began to get a little hot. That kind of bewilderment and embarrassment could not be suppressed. She could only mutter, "Hey, where's my whiskey?"
However, Lan Li still did not speak, nor did he shift his eyes. He just looked at Rooney quietly. The temperature of his eyes smeared a layer of red on her cheek bit by bit. Rooney's heart still jumped up. When she reached the extreme of shyness and embarrassment, she bit her lower lip with some chagrin.
"What's good to see? Haven't you seen such a beautiful little sister? " Rooney didn't even notice that there was a trace of coyness and shyness in her words.
The smile revealed from the deep of blue Li's hazy eyes, slowly dyed the corners of his mouth, and finally rose gently, "yes, I haven't seen it."
Such a calm answer made Rooney a little surprised for a moment. She looked at Lan Li strangely. She was helpless, funny, shy and excited. My mind was full of thoughts, but I didn't say it after all. I just looked back at Lan Li quietly. At last, I laughed happily and sighed softly, "now I finally know what the sexiest man in the world means."
Lanli shrugged his shoulders and accepted the praise with dignity.
It made Rooney laugh, shake her head and look helpless.
After laughing, Rooney closed the corner of her mouth a little and asked seriously, "are you still out of breath?"
In fact, Rooney understood the meaning of lanli for the first time, but all of them were preparing for the party, waiting anxiously for lanli's return. All eyes were on Rooney, who was talking. Those words were hard to say, and it was not the best time to talk.
In order to avoid revealing, so LUNI pretended to understand, perfunctorily took the past.
The smile at the corner of Lan Li's mouth stopped for a moment, his eyes softened and he said, "well, it's ok now. But I still need a little space, so I sneaked out. " After a short pause, Langley continued, "I'm a lucky man. I've got trophies that other people can't imagine in their lives, and I've got friends that other people can't find. Can I ask for more? "
"Of course. You deserve better. " Rooney whispered, the wind in the middle of the night echoed gently in her ears, even the moonlight became gentle. Rooney slightly lowered her eyes to hide her surging mood. "You should continue to stick to it. You know, the reason why Dave van Loong is Dave van Loong, not Bob Dylan, is that he has never changed."
"I think the times are changing. We need to learn to change. Only in this way can we keep pace with the times." Blue Li's smile rose again.
Rooney nodded and affirmed, "some things really need to be changed, otherwise they will be eliminated by the times."; But some things are destined to remain unchanged, because they are the beliefs that sustain our lives and dreams. Sometimes, we need that kind of silly courage. " With that, Rooney's eyes also showed a bright smile, and she was in a happy mood.
"... thank you." After a moment's silence, Langley said sincerely, "I need some friends. Tonight. "
Rooney didn't say a word, because she understood this kind of mood, just like Seattle two years ago, like a straw, she found lanli, firmly, firmly grasped.
The moonlight fell on Lan Li's shoulder, which sketched a touch of loneliness and loneliness. The hardships and tiredness after the long journey slowly penetrated out, which made Rooney think of herself two years ago again. So she walked forward, squatted down in front of Lan Li, opened her arms, and gave Lan Li a big hug.
Lanli was slightly surprised. He's still not used to hugging and his muscles are a little stiff.
Rooney seemed to be aware of the stiffness and clumsiness of lanli, but she didn't let go. Her arms closed a little. She could not help laughing and whispered in lanli's ear, "don't worry, I didn't mean to be rude. It's just... I think you need a hug, a warm hug, not those celebrations or congratulations, just a hug. "
Lan Li's expression was stunned, and then gently released, "you are suggesting that I should give you a hug when I was in Seattle?"
"Why, did you hear that?" Rooney joked playfully.
Then, Looney let go of her arms, looked closely at lenley, said with a smile, "you know what? Now is the real beginning. You can play the role according to your own ideas, and you can choose the script according to your own wishes, just like Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen, but at the same time, people are expecting more and more from you. So, your art path has just begun. "
"Remember? As you said, the key to defining an actor is always the work. Does that mean that I can start looking forward to your future works now? " After that, she didn't wait for Lan Li's reply. She just blinked. There was a trace of ridicule in her eyes. Then she stood up, turned and left the balcony.
Lan Li still stayed in the same place, stopped for a moment, then the smile slowly bloomed, raised his head, bathed in the moonlight of Zizania latifolia, and the tight shoulder line slowly relaxed.
Rooney put her back against the other side of the balcony wall. Her knees were soft and her muscles were trembling. The feeling of numbness and joy was like the wings of thousands of butterflies flapping under her belly. She couldn't believe that she was really looking into lenley's eyes. After that, even her heart began to shake slightly.
