"What's the matter?"
"No, it's just... Long time no see."
"Indeed, long time no see. The passage of time always makes people sigh inadvertently. "
"Oh, there is no refutation. I don't remember when we last met. "
"Oh, please don't break the bond of trust between us with such difficult questions, OK?"
"Ha ha, you can always find a way to excuse yourself."
"That's why I'm called a gentleman."
As she said this, Lan Li raised her hands and made a quotation mark gesture on her head. It looked like a kindergarten teacher was imitating a rabbit's ear. She seemed to be laughing at herself and selling cute. This made felicity laugh heartily.
But the smile didn't last long, and then the corners of her mouth slowly calmed down. Many worries prevented felicity from opening her heart as before - she noticed Alison's figure.
Of course, Alison didn't say or do anything. She didn't demonize Langley. As soon as felicity approached, she nervously tried to stop her; Alison just appeared in the line of sight, watching the actions of felicity and Langley from a distance, just like other staff on the scene.
However, in felicity's eyes, Alison's figure is interpreted as surveillance and vigilance. Then, Alison's warning and persuasion reappears in her mind. She thinks that she's wandering in the sky and doesn't listen to it at all; But in fact, those words still planted seeds in my mind.
At this time, Alison's eyes, like a grain in the back.
"..." felicity tried to explain to Langley, but the words came to her throat, but she didn't know how to explain. She was a little embarrassed.
Langley can clearly detect felicity's abnormality, but he does not intend to ask, nor to explore, but just smiles at felicity.
Business as usual.
Felicity raised her eyes to meet Lan Li. Her eyes were calm but deep, like a vast ocean. There were too many emotions hidden. It was the same before, and it is still the same now - but the difference is that she couldn't read it before, and she didn't want to read it; Now she has come to understand that the undercurrent under the calm doesn't mean the complexity and profundity of Langley. On the contrary, Langley is simpler than most people in Hollywood.
It seems that this has never changed.
Felicity has an impulse to tell the whole story. She wants to tell her worries and thoughts clearly, including Alison's worries and the rumors in the industry. She opens the window to tell the truth. If there are two things to say, will things become simple?
But... She can't say it.
The reason is that things are too complicated to explain for a while; Or is it because her psychology is too complicated, she doesn't know how to explain her ideas and doesn't want to expose her weaknesses?
"Do you know?" Felicity finally said, "before we meet today, I'm a little worried. We're competitors in the awards season now, and the rumors are hard to tell. It's hard to avoid thinking that the next time we get along with each other, we should be tit for tat."
With that, the smile on felicity's face bloomed again - she didn't tell the whole story, she didn't hide it, she just interpreted it from her own perspective, and then expressed it in a relaxed way, sincere and straightforward, calm and generous; The burden on the shoulders is falling quietly.
But Lan Li shook his head and said, "no, no, no, I don't have a competitor. I don't think you can be my opponents
That arrogant appearance showed a strong self-confidence from the inside to the outside, but felicity did not feel scorn or discrimination in lanli. It was more a kind of... Ridicule.
Lanli is still that lanli.
The burden on felicity's shoulders dropped completely, the corners of her mouth calmed a little, and the smile under her eyes was dense. "Are you sure? Don't underestimate any opponent, otherwise, be careful to capsize in the sewer. You know, in the awards season, everything can happen. "
"Of course, of course!" Lenley nodded in agreement, "especially when I know who the giant is behind my opponent."
Is this... Sarcasm?
Felicity's smile could no longer be hidden. Her eyes narrowed, revealing her lovely front teeth. Her shoulders gently shrugged as she tried to hold back the laughter.
Lanli's eyes also appeared a smile, the atmosphere relaxed, he relaxed and said, "even if you lose, I don't think you are a loser. The victory or defeat of the award season is never the end. It's not a boxing match standing on the square stage. Only one person can stand and leave. It's like that year, you didn't win the Oscar nomination. It doesn't mean that your performance is not excellent, and it doesn't mean that I'm better than you. "
Felicity was slightly stunned.
"I'm more inclined to think that the Oscars and awards season is an exhibition, providing a stage for people to pay attention to, so that those neglected and forgotten works of art can be displayed, so that everyone can enjoy movies together. As for nominations and awards, it's an extra bonus - they're important, very important, but the order of things has to be clear. "
Felicity had no idea that Langley was willing to share his own ideas; But think about it seriously: she opened her heart, and so did Lan Li. Although they all had reservations and didn't completely show what they had in mind, it was enough.
Isn't it?
"Is that the reason?" "Every year, you get involved in the awards season, but you never show up in public relations," felicity asked curiously
Because the former belongs to film and the latter belongs to interest.
Lanli didn't admit it, but showed a shallow smile, pursed the corners of his mouth, and a trace of embarrassment slipped through his eyes. "I have to admit that I'm not so extraordinary as I said. If the trophy is awarded to me, I can't be as indifferent as Woody Allen."
"Ha ha." Felicity clapped her hands and laughed happily. "You know what? David Lynch once said something similar. I can't remember the specific content clearly, but the main idea is that he said that the Oscar is actually an industry game. We don't need to criticize it, but we don't need to be crazy. If the college is willing to award the gold medal, it will go to receive the award happily, which is also a reward for itself; But if you don't want to, there's no need to be too serious. So you seem to have the same mentality as David Lynch
Blue Li lightly picked to pick eyebrow, "wait a minute, you this is to denounce my mental age too old?"
What kind of brain circuit is this?
Felicity stopped for a moment, then blinked, deliberately showing a embarrassed expression, "Oh, I've been seen through."
Felicity's unexpected response was to kill lanli unprepared, but lanli didn't panic at all, and naturally spread her hands. "I have to admit that I have experienced a lot over the years, I mean, very, very much." Then he nodded meaningfully.
"Ha ha." Felicity couldn't help laughing like a silver bell over the set.
It's true that people will change, especially in Hollywood. It's not so easy for lanli to stick to his heart; But still need to have some confidence in human nature, some temperature, will eventually be preserved in the heart, will not be eroded.
Growth can be dark, but it can also be sunny, there can be many other different possibilities.
Alison was still standing in the same place, puzzled and puzzled. Because the distance was a little far away, she couldn't hear the conversation between Langley and felicity clearly. She could only feel the lightness and joy from the conversation, which made her feel a little uncomfortable——
If felicity and Langley are too close, who can be sure Harvey Weinstein won't react?
Alison's worry is not that Harvey refrigerates Felicity or threatens felicity, but that he uses felicity to fight against lenley, so the ultimate victim may be lenley, and more likely it should be felicity - lenley and Harvey fight with whales, and felicity is the little shrimps who are affected.
Alison doesn't know how to deal with such a difficult matter, and now she can only keep winking at felicity, hoping that felicity can receive the signal.
But felicity has no response, seems to completely ignore her existence, "Damn it!"
Felicity can still feel the sight, but her disordered mood has gradually stabilized, and she has regained herself - the one who can face calmly and firmly no matter what happens. Alison has only been her agent for just one year. With her help, she has won the performance opportunities of "theory of everything" and "grand theft one", and her career has undergone a great turn; But before Alison appeared, she had learned to take care of herself.
She knew it wasn't over, and she knew it wasn't that simple; But she also knew that the problems she was facing were the same for Langley, and the pressure could be ten times and a hundred times. Therefore, they all have their own problems to deal with, they all need to insist on doing well themselves, and their cooperative relationship will not be affected. They will join hands to complete the shooting work of "grand theft one" and look forward to completing a wonderful work, which is the most important thing.
What's the role of an actor?
It's not just the interpretation of the character, but also the completion of the work. Really good actors, they need to be dedicated, but also need to be professional. Felicity knows that she is an excellent actress, which is what she has been striving for, and that is enough.
As a result, Felicity completely ignored Alison's eyes and looked at blue Li again, showing a relaxed smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, "so, what are you just observing? What is being discussed? I always feel that what is happening here is beyond imagination. "
