Although the award season focuses on art names, it has little to do with commercial films; But the balance between business and art has always been an eternal theme. "Titanic", "the Lord of the rings" series, "Avatar" and other commercial films have won the Oscar nominations, and have been successfully recognized by the Academy.
Furthermore, with the outstanding performance of commercial films, there are not a few actors in the award season and even the Oscar nominations in history.
Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump, Tommy Lee Jones, Russell Crowe, Tom Cruise, Sandra Bullock, Renee Zellweger, Kate Winslet of Titanic, Johnny Depp of Pirates of the Caribbean Heath ledger of "Batman: The Dark Knight," and so on.
To be exact, the definitions of "business" and "art" are vague. Some art films have successfully hit the hearts of audiences, just like "Apollo 13" or "Pirates of the Caribbean". They can also occupy a place in the award season, and the performances of actors can also be recognized by the industry, This is also the reason why the Golden Globe awards set up the category of musical comedy, which is open to the entertainment nature of the film industry.
However, it is not easy for actors to achieve such a goal, even it is rare.
Even Tom Hanks, even Jack Nicholson, even Daniel Day Lewis, they have not been able to reach such a high level, only Meryl Streep is an exception.
As long as Meryl plays in a work, her name is bound to appear in the award season. It seems that when the judges of the Academy don't know who to choose, they just need to check Meryl, which will not be a wrong decision. This also makes Meryl extremely strong in the nomination stage and constantly refresh the Oscar nomination record - so far, there have been 18 Oscar nominations, No one can, even the commercial film is no exception.
However, only Meryl can enjoy this honor, and all other actors in the long history do not have such ability.
Now, it's Raleigh's turn?
After "buried alive", "crazy love", "detached" and "gravity" won the best actor Oscar nominations for four consecutive years, can Langley become the first actor in film history to receive the Oscar performance nomination for the fifth consecutive year? It's up to "Star Trek" and "pop drummer.".
Of course, at this stage, it's just about two months before the awarding season is really lively. Only after the seed players are on the stage can we make a judgment. The current discussion can only be regarded as warm-up, not counting.
However, it is undeniable that, including "speed and passion 5" and "tomorrow's edge" two pure commercial films, Langley has truly achieved the highest level of performance in every work. Even when Meryl Streep has failed, Langley has never——
Following the "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me" in 2011, the "gravity" and "drunken folk song" in 2013, in 2014, lanli again contributed two high-level and high-quality works, which further consolidated lanli's strong reputation in the industry and seemed to be making a full speed sprint towards the height of creating history.
Even if it doesn't make history this year, it doesn't matter. After the ups and downs of the awarding season at the beginning of the year, lanli has really got through the two channels of Le Ren Du and won deep trust in the industry. It's undeniable that lanli has proved his talent through a series of works.
From this point of view, this year's award season is really something to look forward to.
What about Lan Li, the focus of the discussion?
Everyone knows that Langley has returned to London, but the question is, what is the reason for Langley's return to London without a job or a trip?
If it's normal for other actors, no one will be particularly curious. Maybe it's a holiday, maybe it's a visit to friends, maybe it's a private matter. There are many possibilities. There's no need to be too persistent; However, as the focus of global attention, lanli's every move involves people's attention. What's more, some people still remember that in March of the first half of the year, lanli disappeared for some time and then appeared in London. So far, no one knows the specific reason.
Is this trip to London related to the March operation? Are there more possibilities involved? This is worthy of attention.
However, recently, all the attention has been focused on North America. A series of film festivals such as Toronto, triliuride and New York have opened the award season. Even the paparazzi don't have much time to pay attention to lanli's every move, which has also won a valuable breathing space for lanli, That's luck.
The only variable is: are British paparazzi willing to let lenley go?
In terms of paparazzi's madness and professionalism, Britain is the world's leading region. Even the royal family's secret can't escape their pursuit. Princess Diana's tragedy is the most terrible moment in the past two decades; At the beginning, they were not even able to find out the identity of the hereditary aristocracy of Langley, which was also shamed by the British paparazzi. They were also waiting for the turning point to wash away their shame.
When Langley landed at Heathrow International Airport in London, paparazzi's eyes had been projected over one after another, trying to dig out Langley's secret; Unfortunately, the paparazzi are doomed to be disappointed, not because lanli has seen through their whereabouts, but because lanli is not prepared to hide his whereabouts at all——
Although it's not high-profile, lanli didn't hide and cover up, so he appeared in the public's field of vision, which made the paparazzi can't find the sense of achievement at all, and always feel that he was teased by lanli. Of course, the paparazzi still don't let lanli off easily. It's just that without the feeling of cat and mouse game, the paparazzi's work becomes a lot more boring. They are like... Nannies:
The nanny who accompanied lanli all the way was not much different from those security personnel in black suits. They couldn't even speed up. It's really frustrating.
As a result, the paparazzi press the shutter to lanli's car in a way of venting their anger. The flash is like a silver waterfall. They try to let lanli feel their dissatisfaction and depression. They continue to use the flash to show their sense of existence and remind lanli that "this is not an outing.".
Philip denba looked at him in the rearview mirror, and then he could see that he was looking out of the window with a smile on the corner of his mouth. His eyes twinkled slightly, just like a curious baby. He was studying the actions of the paparazzi, not only not irritable or angry, but also a little comfortable.
It can be seen that Langley is in a very good mood. He doesn't look bored because he returns to London. In addition, Philip's eyes also show a smile, "master Langley, do you want me to get rid of them?"
"Oh, No. They're just trying to prove their sense of existence, aren't they? Nevertheless, the technique is not brilliant. " Langley said with a smile. After a pause, he added, "what's more, I'm looking forward to their help for a while."
Now that he has decided to blow the trumpet of the counterattack, Langley is ready to use his way to launch the battle.
He knows that paparazzi can't let him go easily. When he returns to London this time, his every move is bound to be bathed in the spotlight. To some extent, just like the British royal family, the wind and grass may become the headlines of tabloids. The sun will never miss it. Since it can't be avoided, it's better to make full use of it. Everything is a double-edged sword, It can be a sharp blade to hurt yourself or a weapon to attack your opponent.
Philip looked at Lan Li, who said the offensive words lightly. His eyes flashed slightly. "Don't hurt yourself."
This has been very unusual, in the past, Philip is absolutely impossible to speak like this, and Langley was also surprised, said with a smile, "I'm not used to it now." A joke made Philip's mouth relaxed a little, but he didn't laugh after all.
"Is everything all right?" Langley asked endlessly that after the meeting in New Orleans, Langley and Philip had not contacted each other. He didn't know what happened between Philip, George and Elizabeth. He just knew the final result that Philip left Hall's house.
Philip didn't explain too much, but he just said yes, and then changed the topic, "is the weather suitable for coming to London from California?"
At this time, but at the end of September, Los Angeles is still enjoying the sunshine and heat of summer, but London can already feel the sourness and coolness of early autumn. The gray sky and cool drizzle are also the images in memory, and they never seem to have changed.
Eyes still stay in the window, blue Li chuckled out a voice, "the weather is no problem, but so warm treatment or some not used to."
Philippe's eyes also followed lanli's words and projected to the side. Then he could see the paparazzi pressing the shutter crazily. The silver flash was a little harsh. After a moment of silence, Philippe also asked a question: "can they photograph things?"
Langley stopped for a moment and thought, "well... I don't think so. I have discussed this issue with a reporter before. He said that every time a photo is taken, it may be thousands, but the final number of films may be one or two, and the film production rate is very low. They have even formed the professional habit of pressing the shutter regardless of the situation. When anything happens, the first reaction is to use the shutter to record. So, I think, they're doing it right now. "
It's just a small problem, but lanli gives a serious reply just like he is discussing the "global greenhouse effect".
