Obviously, Alison is not the only one worried about the Weinstein brothers.
Felicity's expression is slightly embarrassed, she is not sure how to respond, such a scene is really not what she is good at.
Fortunately, lanli's timely interruption saved the ailing felicity, "I don't want to break my perfect image. Imagine the violence behind the Hilton Hotel after the award ceremony? My publicist should have a headache, so I'd better not show up. "
"Ha ha!" Even Max couldn't help clapping for lanli's self mockery.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Alan tudek found his voice, though still coughing. "I mean, I watched that movie, and one of them still has nightmares. That's why I didn't drink coffee just now. To be honest, I'm afraid of Raleigh."
Collective laughter!
Allen's half true and half false words make people unable to tell what's going on, but he still continues to say seriously, "I'm serious. Please, everyone, the performance of Langley can't be surpassed. The last time I had such a long-lasting performance, it was Daniel Day Lewis in "blood is coming". You can feel fear when you look into his eyes. It's the same now. I don't think anyone can surpass lenley this year. "
Daniel Day Lewis? It's not a casual comparative duel, or even the highest benchmark in the industry. Allen's words caused more waves in the lounge - but I don't know whether he was praising or mocking. It's really ambiguous.
"Good. I guess it's time." Langley just right to take a word, that calm and confident appearance, seems to say: now about his praise is also time to "upgrade" to Daniel Day Lewis level, the black humor immediately revealed between the lines of the joke.
The delicate atmosphere was immediately broken, and all eyes were focused on Lan Li again. Laughter came one after another, and the rest room was very busy.
"Don't you really worry about losing this year's opportunity because of your absence?" The question is Max, which seems to be a bit unexpected. People all looked at him one after another. They thought he was more stable and would not care about these awards in Hollywood. He shrugged his shoulders. "I thought I didn't care, but I won the opportunity a few years ago. When I finally missed it, my heart was still a little low. I mean, although the awards are full of interference from various factors, they are recognized by peers and the industry. It's still very rare, isn't it?"
The eyes of the public showed their approval.
What Max said should be "hunting" in 2012. This Danish work won him the Cannes Film king, and also gained fame in the award season at the end of the year. He won the best actor nominations in the European Film Festival, British Academy of film and Television Arts Awards and other important cities. His solid and delicate performance has won numerous praise and is very hopeful to win the Oscar nomination; But later, because of the lack of public relations strength of the Academy, Max missed the nomination regretfully, and the film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and the best foreign language film Oscar.
It's really very difficult to be shortlisted for the Oscars with the performance of foreign language works.
For max, this could have been a turning point in his career - he could have won more exposure, raised his awareness, and won more acting opportunities, even the chance to choose the roles he was interested in in in Hollywood, but he was wrong after all.
Even Langley is no exception. An Emmy trophy in that year became an important turning point in his whole career.
Just like the balance between business and art, when awards are commercialized due to the awarding season, the relationship between the film industry and awards is no longer pure, and the choice of actors becomes more complicated, especially for actors with weak "commercial attributes" such as Max, Mendelson and felicity, How should they deal with their relationship with the awards season works?
This is a new subject. Obviously, now lanli is the most authoritative board in the whole industry.
But the problem is that Langley himself can't give the right formula - or that things don't have the right formula.
Lanli can detect the focus on himself. The atmosphere in the lounge is becoming serious unconsciously. Things are off track.
Lanli did not continue to joke, but considered his own words, "of course, recognition from peers is undoubtedly very rare and important. Every artist is eager to find an audience who can understand and recognize himself, isn't it? We are no exception. "
"But if we neglect ourselves for the sake of appreciation and recognition, or even give up art itself, how can we strive for those understandings? Where should we be as artists? Art and recognition, art before recognition, this is my personal view
Lanli won't say that he has "abandoned the awards like shoes". He can't be as detached as Woody Allen after all. He is also eager to get recognition, but he refuses to give up his pursuit of acting skills for those recognition, which is also the reason why he is not interested in College Public Relations.
"If those associations are willing to present awards to me, I will gladly accept them and be grateful; But if I miss it, I will accept the result with a smile. " Lan Li answered with the simplest but most calm attitude.
The actors in the lounge look different. Obviously, not everyone can agree with lanli's choice: it's like whether human beings adapt to the environment or the environment adapts to human beings. Everyone has his own opinions, and then affects his own values and world outlook.
Lanli didn't instill his ideas into everyone. After answering Max's confusion sincerely, his tone relaxed again. "Wait a minute, how did the focus shift to me? I think we're in London now, and what's going on across the Atlantic doesn't have much to do with it. "
A light joke, instantly resolved the silence of too much focus in the lounge, people have come back to their senses, expression again relaxed.
"Because you were obviously the most popular, but you were absent from the award ceremony." Wen Jiang also said in Tucao way, "I think you will regret not attending the Golden Globe Award. I think this year's Foreign Correspondents Association will make complaints about you."
"No, the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association is very, very cunning. They have an unwritten rule that awards will not be awarded to those who are absent." Allen shook his head repeatedly, and then many people exclaimed. He nodded his head to confirm, "yes, yes, you heard me right. It's true. This incident has also caused numerous controversies in Hollywood."
Because does this mean that the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association has already finalized the list of winners, but one of the winners is absent, and then they can modify the list of winners and present the award to another guest present?
This is the power of the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association. They still want all nominees to attend. The audience rating and topic popularity are what the golden globe has been pursuing; However, this goes against the original intention of the award ceremony, which is like kidnapping nominees with awards and requiring them to attend.
This is not a secret in the Hollywood industry. The Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association even issued an official statement expressing a similar meaning, which caused a great uproar. Although they later withdrew the statement, the subtlety behind it is clear. This is why the reputation of the Golden Globe Awards in Hollywood has always been full of controversy. Of course, Hollywood stars do not really take the Golden Globe Awards seriously. It is completely regarded as Hollywood's annual star conference, just like the youth Choice Awards, but it is the adult Choice Awards.
"So, you're saying that even though they were going to give the award to lenley, they're canceling it now?" Wen Jiang still can't believe the fact.
Alan spread out his hands.
Even Mendelson couldn't help shaking his head. "No, no, it can't be like this. Do they know what they are doing? It's not fair to Langley, it's not fair to the other nominees. The award should go to the best actor, shouldn't it? "
This should have been the original intention of the award ceremony; But interpersonal and social relations have never been so simple, and after the birth of the concept of award season, it involves interests, and things become more complicated.
Mendelson's words made everyone silent, unable to refute, but also unable not to refute. So, how should they respond?
"I don't think it's possible." Tony said, "or we'll bet. I think the Golden Globe Award will make an exception this year and give the award to lanli
"What?" This is the voice of Langley.
"I agree." Max also expressed his position.
Lan Li waved his hand again and again, and said, "Hey, everyone! Don't be like this, things shouldn't be like this! Please don't gamble, OK? It's against the law. "
Lanli did not expect the development of things. As far as he was concerned, he didn't like such a gamble, and he didn't like being the focus of the gamble.
But now the situation is getting out of control. It's about the blue ceremony, not just the blue ceremony - it's more about the whole award season. Everyone is included in it, and no one can stay out of it. Even Tony and Wen Jiang, who are going to enter Hollywood, are no exception.
"No, I don't think so." Wen Jiang sees things more thoroughly than anyone else, because he is in an environment in which he clearly knows the development of things. Although he is not willing to believe that the same thing will happen in Hollywood, seriously think about it. Wall street stands behind Hollywood, and the interest oriented wall street. What else is impossible? In the end, the two lands on the other side of the Pacific come to the same destination by different routes.
