The black multi-functional van is moving smoothly on the gravel road. The trivial sound of the friction between the tires and the gravel slaps the fender and makes a small sound in the ear. The farmland scene in the line of sight outlines a touch of tranquility, reflecting the carriage without any sound. The tedious spread in silence is quietly diffused.
Lanli and Annie are still not familiar with each other, and they have never been in the same room before. The friendly atmosphere created by the polite words about "gravity" comes to an end with the scene. The air is a little cold and boring. The invisible alienation makes the autumn color of Canada more and more intense.
Annie was aware of such a delicate atmosphere. As the host, she was still a little embarrassed. She began to think seriously and tried to make the atmosphere lively again. But then an idea came to her mind. She could not help but drop her eyes and smile. When she raised her eyes to look at blue Li again, she hesitated and hesitated a little, but finally she plucked up her courage, "If I say now that I've always wanted to work with you, does that sound too hypocritical or flattering?"
Blue Li eyebrow tail lightly a Yang, "Oh? Why do you say that? "
It's unusual to respond like this. Does the subtext admit it like this?
Andy looked at Lan Li's face a little, but found that Lan Li's face was calm and calm, without any arrogance and arrogance, but with some self-confidence and magnanimity. Instead, her idea became "the heart of a villain, the belly of a gentleman", which made her smile, and the reason for her mouth changed, "because now everyone thinks I'm a perfectionist, No mistakes are allowed, and social occasions are all inclusive. "
This is self mockery.
At the Oscars ceremony at the beginning of this year, Annie won the best supporting actress. When she delivered her acceptance speech, her graceful and decent performance was perfect. She didn't cry or speak incoherently. Her elegant and calm manner really left a deep impression on people.
But then Jennifer Lawrence, who won the best actress award, was embarrassed. First of all, I fell down on stage; After that, she said in her acceptance speech, "thank you Harvey for helping me beat all my competitors", which caused a great stir. Especially at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony before, Jennifer had already said "Yo Ho, I beat Meryl". Now the situation is even more difficult.
There is no doubt that Harvey Weinstein's PR means in the award season can be regarded as the top; At the beginning of the year, Meryl Streep also occupied a place in the post movie competition with the comedy "big hope hot spring", but because of the poor overall strength of her work, she didn't even get the Oscar nomination.
Jennifer's discourse has been deeply interpreted in different contexts.
On the one hand, it is considered to be too arrogant and too sharp. It is defiant and lacks basic etiquette; On the other hand, Meryl and Harvey are very close friends. Last year's "Iron Lady" was successfully achieved under Harvey's operation. Jennifer's words were interpreted as "Harvey sacrificed Meryl and then paved the way for Jennifer". The interpretation on this basis has become very intriguing.
It's not good for Jennifer's future.
In order to cover up Jennifer's embarrassment, Harvey launched a powerful public relations means and began to discredit Annie. He thought that Annie's performance at the award ceremony was too perfect and unreal. She was just putting on airs and hypocrisy. It looked like a well-designed Barbie doll.
After a crisis PR campaign, the positions of Jennifer and Annie were reversed. Since then, Jennifer has won a good reputation for her forthrightness, while Anne has become the target of public criticism. She has been under increasing pressure. In the most discussed Hollywood cast election in the United States, Anne's ranking has soared like a rocket, and now she is almost as good as Gwyneth Paltrow.
But in Langley's view, it was just a sacrifice for Harvey's own interests.
Objectively speaking, Anne's performance is worthy of affirmation, because only when she is really in it can she understand the difficulty of keeping a good appearance.
What's more, the battle for best supporting actress at the beginning of this year was the most suspense among all the awards. Annie was a strong leader in almost the whole award season, and there was no accident when she announced the award that night. If Annie pretends to cry with joy and be at a loss, it's just hypocritical.
The wisdom of Harvey Weinstein is that he can always grasp the weaknesses and loopholes, and then maximize his own interests.
After all, her PR company is far less powerful than Harvey's.
At this moment, Annie's calm and playful self blackening can show her relief. Langley can't help laughing. "I think what you need to pay attention to is that the person you are talking to is the perfectionist who can't make mistakes in Hollywood."
That's Langley himself.
Annie was a little stunned, and then she could not help but outline a brilliant smile: isn't it true that as a hereditary aristocrat, Lan Li's interests and manners are the most impeccable; However, Langley's advantage is that he can always use his humor to resolve the "perfection" of the scene, and avoid the situation of stiffness. However, Annie just lacks this sense of humor, which puts herself in a dilemma.
After a joke, the atmosphere in the car relaxed again.
Then he said, "what's in your mind?"
"What?" Anne can't keep up with her reaction speed. Her mind is full of question marks.
Langley didn't speak. He just looked at Anne meaningfully.
Gradually, Annie was defeated. She just felt that she had nowhere to hide. That feeling was very embarrassing. Then she understood the meaning of Lan Li: she just said that, "I hope to cooperate with you", but she worried that it was too polite and too dramatic, as if she was just honoring LAN Li. The initial reason was not because of her perfectionism, but because
"It's obvious that more people in Hollywood are envious of you than they admire and admire. But when everyone meets, their first reaction is always your youth, and then they say yes and no, looking forward to cooperating with you. This is Hollywood. " After all, Annie revealed what she had just thought.
Lan Li retracted his chin meaningfully, but he didn't speak.
Under the gaze of her burning eyes, Annie held her forehead in some chagrin and shame, and shook her head in frustration and helplessness. "Lan Li, has anyone ever said that you are very good at embarrassing others?"
Lenley shrugged. "That's what I'm good at. So, I don't mind. "
Annie opened her mouth slightly. "Ha!" The more you think about it, the funnier it will be. The more you think about it, the happier it will be. Then you can't hide it and laugh happily, "ha ha ha." The bright and light smile made the whole carriage light up, as if you could smell the fragrance of jasmine in the air.
Lanli then said, "personally, I've been looking forward to working with you."
Anne's eyes couldn't help brightening.
But Langley added, "it's not because of the miserable world."
"Ouch." Annie covered her chest, revealing the injury on her face, but her eyes were obviously smiling.
The film version and the stage version of "les miserables" were undoubtedly one of the most popular topics of discussion last year. They were widely compared in all aspects, including Fantine played by Anne. Some people like the film version, while others like the stage version. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Now Lan Li once again jokingly mentioned this matter, not to attack, but to adjust, obviously can feel the atmosphere in the car is more harmonious.
"It's because of Rachel's wedding." In fact, I like your performance in this work better than that in miserable world - not just because of our competition
Annie can hardly hide her amazement and surprise. Although "Rachel's wedding" won Annie the first Oscar nomination, in fact, very few people have watched this work, and there are not many peers in the industry. No matter what Langley said just now for the sake of politeness or sincerity, it is a surprise that he can mention this work.
Although Annie still wants to continue the in-depth discussion, out of politeness, she still does not continue to ask: if the other party just talks out of politeness, then she perseveres in the discussion, then the scene will be embarrassing.
Unexpectedly, Lan Li took the initiative to say, "in the process of performance, the emotion presented by the performance details is more delicate and more profound. Your exploration and discussion of the character's heart is more worthy of taste. For example, the scene at the dining table, the pain revealed by the lonely and cold emotion, is the soul of the whole movie."
"Comparatively speaking, the performance of letting go of one's hands and feet is too rough, and the mood is relatively simple and extensive. I personally prefer to carve and refine the performance. Of course, it's more difficult and more test of skill." Lan Li is honest. Although he is sharp, he is sincere enough. For art creators, they need to learn to accept criticism - criticism with substance, of course.
Nathan, sitting next to him, kept sweating. Lanli and Annie were not familiar at all. They were so fierce when they came up, and both inside and outside of the story implied that they didn't like the film version of "miserable world". What's the matter? What if two people tear their faces? Even if not, the relationship between the two people is stiff. What should we do?
Nathan glanced at Annie's face, and it became very strange——
Is Annie angry? Or shame? Or is it a dilemma? Or else you're at a loss? Why is he a little confused?
