Chapter 1818

Lanli stood quietly in the same place, watching the light surrounded by the crowd of Rooney, she stood smiling in the heart of the circle, alienated but not disrespectful, gently jaw, most of the time is someone else talking, and she kindly expressed a simple response, but even so, still can not stop people coming to congratulate.

There are dazzling lights and noisy sounds all around. The heat wave from the soles of feet to the ceiling fills the whole space. Even the skin surface can clearly feel the hot heat, but it catches an imperceptible loss and loneliness between the flashy light and shadow. Some people can't breathe. The more lively the space is, the more lonely it is, The more crowded, the more alienated, inexplicably, the eyes lost focus, I do not know where to fall.

And then, Rooney saw Langley.

Focus and focus quickly gathered, the fundus of the eye inadvertently flashed a touch of light joy, the cool facial lines slightly softened a little bit, even the tone of social intercourse are stained with a light warm color.

But then, Rooney realized that it was a public occasion, and they had better keep a low profile, otherwise everyone on the scene would be human, and they would show their feet if they were not careful. As a result, Rooney didn't deliberately dodge. She blinked her eyes to convey the hint, and then motioned to Lan Li's jaw head, which seemed normal.

It is because of the action of LUNI that others notice the existence of lanli. At this time, the whole backstage people come and go, and it's easy to ignore the people around. Now when they see lanli, no one thinks much, but just smiles. A few people leave LUNI and walk towards lanli, while more people are still talking with LUNI.

Rooney is ready to take back her sight and keep up her mind to deal with the situation. But unexpectedly, lanli takes the initiative to step towards their position, which makes her show a little confusion.

Without waiting for Rooney to ask, lanli's steps had already come to the side and said with a smile, "ladies and gentlemen, can I borrow this lady's time? Tonight, I haven't had time to express my congratulations and thanks. In addition, our director is waiting for us. "

A gentleman's proper words can't find any fault, especially the last sentence. Without too much explanation, it can remind people of the regretful defeat of "gravity" at the last moment. No one objected. They all nodded in agreement. Then they congratulated Rooney again and regretted lanli. Lanli and Rooney turned and left hand in hand.

Until she left, Rooney was still staring at lanli in a daze, "... Is that simple?"

Just now, she spent countless thoughts and ideas, but she could not get away from the social scene. Unexpectedly, Lan Li succeeded with an understatement?

Lanli shrugged but said nothing.

After a pause, the smile on the corner of her mouth rose slightly. "Honestly, you should be very relaxed to deal with such an occasion, right? The reason why we always avoid it is not because we are afraid and unfamiliar, but simply because we are lazy? "

Although she was also born in a distinguished family, most of her characters were cold from childhood, and she was always not suitable for social occasions. Being independent had become a habit; However, Lan Li is somewhat different. He seems to be a gentleman and elegant. He can be a fish in water on any occasion, but he has his own pride in his heart.

Rooney is used to her own way, especially her approachability in the film festival, which seems to be far away from the elegant society; But gradually found the hidden side of Lan Li, those difficult social occasions fall in the hands of Lan Li, but always able to solve.

Langley didn't deny, "so, don't you Americans always say that you have a real temperament?"

This sentence means

From the cultural level, the British always dislike the Americans' rudeness and vulgarity, lack of cultural and historical details, and they are "aristocrats" with a long history, not class, but details; The Americans always make complaints about the fact that the British people put their airs on their feet and claim that they are knowledgeable and refuse to integrate with the times, and that they are the new age's tide makers, keeping pace with the times and enjoying the same with the people.

In short, Americans are proud of their "rudeness and vulgarity". They use "true temperament" to explain it, but they resist the British way.

When Langley uses such a way of expression at this time, he is actually saying that as British people, they naturally have no pressure to deal with these hypocritical and polite social occasions, because they live in such an environment. With an ingenious self blackening, the interest of the whole topic is brought out.

Rooney's smile immediately bloomed without reserve.

Guests everywhere noticed the smile of Rooney and cast strange eyes: is this the Rooney they are familiar with? Cold and alienated, proud and cold?

Rooney pursed the corners of her mouth and controlled her manners, but the smile from the corners of her mouth and the bottom of her eyes was still overflowing, and her eyes were shining at Lan Li. "So, what do you English people always say about yourself?"

"Empire." Lenley summed it up with the simplest term, which made Rooney's smile more and more rolling. Then lenley added, "next time you see Andre and Matthew, you can ask them this question. Maybe there's a surprise."

"What about Eton?" Asked Rooney curiously.

Langley pondered for a moment. "His answer may be boring."

"Does Eaton know you make complaints about him behind this?" Rooney's voice was completely lightened.

Blue Li sipped his lips, "he also make complaints about himself."

Backstage at the awards ceremony, lenley and Rooney walked side by side without any suspicion.

Because in her acceptance speech, Rooney specially thanks a "he", and also specially thanks lanli by name. Almost everyone does not equate "he" and "lanli" directly, but naturally thinks that they should be two people. Therefore, it's perfectly normal for the two people to appear together as partners of "gravity". What's more, their joint search for Alfonso Caron seems even less insipid.

Alfonso's mood is still a little low.

Compared with the best picture winner, he is even more regretful that the hard work of the crew has not been recognized. Whether it is the best director and best supporting actress, or other technical awards, the eight winners of "gravity" tonight can be regarded as individual awards, rather than the best picture as a whole.

If "gravity" has not been able to compete for the best film from the beginning, then even if it is, the box office of the film has already come from the audience's important affirmation of the crew's hard work; But after sweeping eight little golden men tonight, it is inevitable that the crew will raise their expectations, and eventually pass by like this. It is inevitable to regret and strangle.

"Don't worry, I'll find the motivation again." Despite his sadness and loss, Alfonso smiles and thanks lenley and Rooney.

Alfonso is a very simple filmmaker. The reason why he made "gravity" is obviously not because of awards, but because he loves to study. Just like now, the reason why he regrets is not for himself, but for the crew.

Langley said with a smile, "to explore a new shooting technology?"

"Ha, that may be more difficult. Will it take another five years? My wife will protest even if I want to Because of lanli's banter, Alfonso chuckled, "I have some scattered thoughts, but I don't have a clear concept and framework yet. But, I hear, you're working on a production company? "

The turning point of this topic is really

Lanli casts a look at Rooney, as if to say: look, just return to the movie topic, Alfonso can cheer up.

But the words didn't stop, and Langley said, "I'm not sure what the rumors are. I didn't plan a film company, but I did participate in the management of a film company, which can be regarded as a shareholder. What, are you willing to invest in us? We are a small start-up company. At present, we have made "pop drummer", and the distribution channel is still "borrowed" from Sony classic. Are you sure? "

"I should have asked that question." Alfonso said sincerely, "you know, I was preparing for gravity at the beginning. Most of the production companies were reluctant to take over. Even Warner Bros. were constantly bargaining. After the leader was changed, the team that connected with us was completely replaced. Later, a lot of unhappiness happened in the stage of release and public relations."

"I'm serious. I think it's very difficult to invest in my next work. The theme of my works is destined not to be so easily accepted by the market. So I should ask you, "are you willing to invest?" Alfonso is an honest man, no tricks, everything is down-to-earth.

Lanli knew Alfonso was telling the truth. Even if Alfonso won the Oscar for best director by virtue of "gravity", he still couldn't find the investor or distributor for his next work. After a round, he finally found Netflix——

If he can, Alfonso still wants his films to be shown on the big screen instead of on-demand on computer or TV. In this respect, he and Christopher Nolan are both conservative academics.

"Blue Li picked to pick eyebrow tail," of course, I am very sure. After you have determined your ideas and ideas, how about we sit down and talk about them? "

"To talk to you?" Alfonso suddenly got excited.

Lan Li was surprised for a moment, then he understood and gave a positive reply, "yes, talk to me."

It's important to talk about cooperative investment with production companies. Most of the projects are invested in the pre production manager of film and television production, while a small part of the projects are invested in the producers, and some of the projects are interviewed with the managers of the production department. But what is certain is that the more non professionals pay attention to market value and profit return, the more difficult the negotiation will be.

If you can have an interview with lanli, things will be different.
