Eddie Redman still remembers what happened at the beginning. He and lenley both participated in the audition of the stage play "les miserables".
It was supposed to be his shining moment, but he was flustered because of lanli's unexpected appearance. After all, he failed to play a normal level, and there was no miracle in the end. He failed to win this performance opportunity, and his complacent career prospects were once again obscured.
As for the professional ability of acting, Eddie will not violate his conscience and says that he is better than lenley; But on the other hand, he also doesn't think that he is inferior to Lan Li, or that Lan Li is an existence that can't be surpassed——
What lenley can do, he can do. All he needs is an opportunity or a stage.
Eddie's real dissatisfaction with lanli does not come from the anger and jealousy brought about by his inferiority complex, but from his unwillingness and frustration of being ignored, despised and ignored. It's like... He's just like a tiny pebble and can't make any waves to lanli.
At the beginning, the audition of "les miserables" was just like this. All the lights were focused on Lan Li, but no one noticed that he worked so hard. He also had talent and ability, and he could shine. No! No one noticed him as a nobody.
Later, the meeting of Oscar night was like this again. The halo around lanli was dazzling, and he could only stand in the shadow of the door, which was a dispensable existence. No one cared about him, and even some people regarded him as a waiter. How ridiculous and ridiculous it was.
He also deserves a little respect. Even if Langley is a superstar, he should not be arrogant.
He was also born in Eton and studied in Trinity College of Cambridge University - and he graduated smoothly. He also went through systematic study in art school and polished himself in stage drama - and even worked in a bar and participated in drama interviews frequently to find opportunities
Eddie and Langley, Langley and Eddie, there are too many similarities between them. He thinks that he deserves a little respect and encouragement.
In fact, even Hollywood's career path has many overlapping parts
As early as 2009, Eddie went to the west end of London to play in the stage play "red". A year later, this work went on Broadway. It was the best supporting actor who won the Oliver and Tony Awards for Eddie, which officially opened the door of his acting career. But what did his Hollywood career win?
After the movie version of "les miserables" was released, Eddie's performance has won a lot of praise, but it still can't be compared with Langley. Even many critics and critics think that their performance is not at the same level as Langley, and even Hugh Jackman can't keep his face.
Until now.
"Theory of all things" is just like "crazy love" at the beginning. It has soared all the way since it entered the award season, especially under the promotion of Harvey Weinstein. Now it has been in the leading position and is racing towards the Oscar final point.
There is a saying that Harvey is right: in order to get some, you must pay some. The focus of things is never to pay something, but to win the return after paying. Can you satisfy yourself? If the answer is yes, then even if the soul is sold to the devil, it is worth it.
Tonight, he is about to win his own reward - the recognition and attention that he deserves. This is the reward he deserves. With his talent and talent, with his efforts and hard work, with his sweat and tears, he can receive praise openly.
He should be respected!
From then on, he will also stand on a peak and win his own recognition and appreciation without paying attention to the eyes of Lan Li. What he has, he will win through his own efforts. He does not need charity or sympathy. He will win everything with his own hands.
Lanli is still that lanli, proud and cold, self-supporting and noble to draw a line, to block everyone out.
Eddie doesn't care anymore. He calmly draws back his eyes and holds his head high, ready for his own shining moment.
……
Lanli has no way to know Eddie's idea. After the first sign with felicity, he sends off Rooney.
As a prize awarding guest, Rooney's position is slightly behind. In the right sector of the third row, she can't wait for the announcement of the award together with lanli. Before turning around and leaving, Rooney asked with a smile, "how about it? Do you need my blessing?" It means whether Langley is eager for awards.
Blue Li pursed the corners of his mouth. "I think we should have missed the opportunity." The absence of the second stage of the college public relations, now it is too late to pray.
"I'll see you backstage then," she said "But I'll cross my fingers for you," she whispered in his ear With that, Rooney turned and left, her light steps revealing her good mood.
Lanli and Edith went to the front hand in hand.
As the number one focus of the whole award ceremony, lanli's position is arranged in the most prominent position in the first row: the center is close to the right, because this is the most easily captured position by the camera lens, and it is also the most natural area of the host's line of sight, the absolute focus.
The "pop drummer" crew are all arranged in this area. Damien and Simmons both sit in the second row behind Lanley. On their left are the "Youth" crew and the "Birdman" crew, which are also mixed with the figures of nominees from other actor departments. It can be said that they are very lively.
Instead, the "Budapest Hotel" crew, together with the "theory of everything" crew, was placed in the front row of the right wing sector.
Sitting on the right side of Langley is the "Night Walker" crew, with Jack Gyllenhaal, Dan Gilroy, Renee Russell and others present, as well as Andre Hamilton.
As the chief executive of Sisyphus pictures, Andre is in the limelight this year.
On last year's Oscar night, Andre and Arthur followed Langley into the Party of the Sunset Tower Hotel. At that time, they were considered to be rich young masters who came to play with tickets; A year later, Andre appeared on the red carpet of the Oscars as "drummer" and "Night Walker" producer.
"How was the experience?" Lenley turns his head and smiles at Andre. Even Edith turns her head.
Andre said with an elegant smile, "so far, it's OK." But now it's lanli and Edith. Naturally, Andre's cultivation doesn't need to be tight. We can judge from the tight jaw line and angry eyes that he is gnashing his teeth.
For others, the Oscars may be a dream feast; But for a small number of people, the four hour Oscar ceremony is particularly tedious and boring, even more boring than the night of the Oscar, which is the reason why the audience is declining every year.
Andre and Arthur belong to the latter.
Although both of them are looking forward to the award of "pop drummer" and "Night Walker", they are not interested in witnessing history. Both of them rush to the Oscars night instead of the award ceremony. In the end, they decide whether to win or lose according to the drawing of playing cards, and the person who loses must attend the award ceremony.
And then Andre showed up here.
As for Arthur, he is now sitting comfortably on the couch, carrying champagne and watching the ceremony live on TV, but he can walk around or even leave at any time if he needs to, without having to endure the tedious ceremony on the spot - and maintaining perfect etiquette all the time.
Edith gently raised her chin to Andre, then lowered her head to indicate her dress. "You need to try to walk in this suit. That's a real nightmare. I've almost forgotten how bad a tuxedo is, ah Used to dress up freely, now this suit is really suffocating.
Sure enough, for the sake of beauty, we need to pay a price.
Lanli could see Jack Gyllenhaal who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He turned his head and said, "Jack, please keep this secret for us, or the signboard of hereditary aristocracy won't work very well."
Jack didn't hold back after all. He chuckled. "You're a funny guy, lanli. I swear, I mean it. I think the audience should see more about you in private. They will like you more. God, who can say no to you? "
"The Golden Globe?" Blue Li picked pick eyebrow tail, with a rhetorical question to make an answer.
"Ha ha." Jack didn't hold back, so he just laughed, and other guests around him all looked at him. Jack repeatedly waved his hand to apologize, but unexpectedly, the guests all made a sound:
"Lan Li, are you sure you don't want to share it?"
"Is the blue time for the award ceremony coming again?"
"Are you interacting with Neil tonight?"
It seems that everyone is very familiar with lenley, which makes Edith and Andre exchange a look, but find that both of them have some schadenfreude: they are not the only ones who are poisoned by lenley, which makes them feel more gratified.
One after another, all the guests were in place, but the scene was still waiting for about 20 minutes. The guests constantly came to say hello to lanli. Even Meryl Streep had a chat with lanli for a while, and the lights of the whole room slowly dimmed.
Waiting for all the guests to return, the noise of the scene slowly precipitated, leaving only a surging heat wave in the dense, so that the heart beat quickly. In the dark, the drums began to ring slowly, and the sound of Symphony spread throughout the audience. According to the red light on the camera, we can judge that:
Live, here we go.
