"Maybe one day, I can be Henry Fonda. It's a wish. "
"Henry Fonda? Are you sure? I think Marlon Brando or Daniel Day Lewis is a better choice
In the face of Bradley's ridicule, blue Li raised his eyebrow and showed a smile at the bottom of his eyes. "I will choose a positive angle to interpret it."
Bradley couldn't help laughing and responded meaningfully, "in my opinion, it's positive from any angle. I'm always on your side. Please believe me. "
It's a little joke, a real story from Hollywood.
Henry Fonda, a famous hostess of his generation, has been on Broadway and Hollywood for more than 50 years. He has dedicated a series of classic works such as "wilderness duel", "war and peace", "the past of the west", "Twelve Angry Men", "golden pond", "angry grapes", "red shirt tears" and so on; Even because of his five previous marriages, Hollywood gave birth to an acting family, and the surname "Fonda" has a strong and far-reaching appeal.
However, Henry Fonda has a less pleasant record: he is the record holder with the longest distance from the first nomination to the final award in the history of Oscar.
In 1940, "grapes of Wrath" won his first nomination, when he was 35 years old; In 1981, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded Henry the best honorary award. The next year, after winning the nomination again, golden pond finally won the award, with a full interval of 42 years.
Blue make complaints about Henry Fang Da, which is actually self tucking.
After egot, the whole Hollywood is bound to be full of vigilance and rejection of blue Lee. Let alone win the prize again in a short time, it may even become extremely difficult to nominate, because blue Lee has reached the peak at a young age, which is challenging the limit of the whole industry. Next, he can't continue to go up, but can only start to go down.
According to the historical records in the past, for example, Tom Hanks, in the next few years, the name of "Langley hall" may just be a hot topic at the theoretical level in the awarding season. The discussion is rolling, but it only blossoms and does not bear fruit. It has no chance with most of the nominations - they need to make Langley "calm down".
So, Langley mentioned Henry - after 42 years, he won the prize again. For lanli himself, he also expressed an open-minded and calm attitude. After all, he has won the award once and has just completed the egot. He really does not have much urgent desire for the award. Just focus on participation.
But Bradley mentioned Marlon Brando and Daniel Day Lewis.
The reason is very simple, Henry is the first nomination to the first prize, the interval of 42 years; Lanli is now a little golden man. Naturally, this analogy is not applicable, while Malone and Daniel are more appropriate metaphors.
In the long history, only nine actors have won two best actor Oscars. Malone and Daniel are among them. At the beginning of this year, Daniel became the only actor who won the film title three times. What's special is that these two actors are the longest time between the first and the second time.
Marlon Brando won the first prize in 1954 and the second prize in 1972; Daniel Day Lewis won the first prize for "my left foot" in 1989 and the second prize for "blood is coming" in 2007. There was a full 18 years between the two awards.
Undoubtedly, Bradley's metaphor is more appropriate, but it contains two meanings. One is to make fun of the fact that Langley has to wait 18 years for his second golden man; Another level of praise is that Langley will reach the height of Malone or Daniel, and truly become a top actor in history.
So, Lan Li made such an answer.
In the laughter, Langley and Bradley left the prosperous position of times square and walked along the street towards the lower city. Instead of sitting down, they walked around the city like friends.
"It's like Manhattan." Bradley joked half jokingly.
This is Woody Allen's classic love movie, walking through Manhattan, but in the nagging, it outlines the middle class's life state and love sense.
Lenley chuckled. "You should use this line in dating situations."
"Ha, my date doesn't understand Woody Allen." Bradley shrugged regretfully.
Langley did not retort, "not many people know Woody Allen. By the way, not long ago, I met Ronan farrow The unexpected mention of Woody Allen awakens the memory of Langley.
Bradley's eyes were full of meaning. "He's a smart guy. Next, I'm going to Oxford University. "
"It can be predicted that another important person will appear in New York in the future." Lan Li said to the end.
Bradley couldn't help but smile. "Back to the topic just now, do you mean that you don't have any expectations for this year's award season? I mean 'drunken ballad' just won the best actor trophy in Cannes. Obviously, your performance has gained recognition again, and you are definitely a member that can't be ignored at the end of this year. "
"It's not up to me, is it?" Lanli flatly retorted, and then began to smile. "To be honest, I didn't expect the development curve of the award season, let alone winning the award. Up to now, none of my works are in the strict sense of awards season. "Drunken ballad" is a Wenqing film that risks a lot. Joel and Ethan, I don't think this work can make a difference in the awards season. "
"What about gravity?" Asked Bradley.
"Some people told me that it was an avatar. Although I don't agree with it, I can be sure that the most wonderful and important part of this film is Alfonso Caron, not me. Compared with the awards, I hope that this film can achieve outstanding results at the box office, because it is a work worth watching in the cinema, and the visual effect is beyond the video. " Lanli made a sincere recommendation.
"Are you promoting it now?"
"Yes. Wait, is Warner Bros. on file? "
"Not yet."
"That's not propaganda. We can wait. "
The quick answers made the conversation between randley and Bradley more comfortable. The New York Times reporter then asked, "do you mean that you don't deliberately choose award-winning works when you choose works? Is that the reason why you and the Weinstein brothers have never cooperated?"
It has to be said that Bradley's way of asking questions was professional and cunning enough. He showed his edge quietly and put forward one of the most intriguing questions in the past two years——
In fact, people in the industry have more or less heard of the contradiction between lanli and Harvey Weinstein. Moreover, Harvey has openly and openly made malicious remarks in private, which is no secret to those well-informed reporters; However, they did not find a suitable opportunity to disclose the information. Now they are reporting without evidence or events. It is inevitable that they are dry and lack of hot spots.
So Bradley just put forward the idea, tentatively looking at Langley's reaction. Even if it's really published, it's harmless, but it can cause readers to discuss and explore.
"Ha, obviously the reason why we haven't cooperated so far is not just for this one reason." Bradley quietly throws a bait over, but lanli doesn't mind. He gives a generous response. Seemingly ambiguous words are actually meaningful, but there is no in-depth conversation, understatement, but the lingering charm is far-reaching. Readers who really understand the internal situation of the industry are bound to be able to smell the greasy smell.
Bradley is clever, while lanli is wise. The interviews are wonderful. That's why lanli is always popular when he plays in talk shows. He doesn't stay too much on the same topic. Lanli then says, "but it's true. When choosing works, the award season is not the first consideration, I'm still learning hard and growing up. Of course, part of the reason is that I'm not too old for biographical films. "
Biographical movies are the hot awards season, typical Oscar series works, but most of the protagonists who are worth shooting biographies are over 30 years old, because such a legendary life is worth shooting. In contrast, lanli is not necessarily suitable.
In the face of the self tucking of blue rites, Bradley also raised his lips. "So what about this time make complaints about drummer?" A lot of people think that this is also an attempt of the award season
"If you can enter the award season like" winter bone "or" Sunshine beauty ", it's a good thing. It's a promotion for the whole independent film industry. " "But in the design and implementation phase, the award season is not our goal. It's just to present the stories and ideas that Damien chazare has in mind
Originally, Bradley had several other questions in his mind, such as the award season, Weinstein, and "pop drummer" or "drunken ballad". Recently, there are countless questions worth discussing, but now Bradley has changed his mind and come up with another idea.
This is always the case in every interview with lanli, who can break out of the framework of the manuscript and explore more chemical reactions. Bradley has been used to this kind of interview mode for a long time, so without any hesitation, he put forward the idea that just came out.
"Speaking of Damien chazere, obviously, he is a new director without much experience. At present, he has only one unknown work. Even for most people, this is a new director who jumps out of a stone crack. Such cooperation means adventure, even gambling, but you don't hesitate to believe him. Why?"
