Absent from the Golden Globe Awards, this is a last resort, for the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow", and for a series of subsequent itinerary arrangements. However, this is not good news for the audience of the Golden Globe Awards.

After the list of nominees came out, everyone, including journalists and industry insiders, was looking forward to the "twin stars shining" of Lan Li and Ryan Gosling, and these two topical figures could be concocted with nowhere to focus. Now, without the Blue Rite, Ryan is on par with top superstars such as Brad Pitt and George Clooney, and the thickness and heat of the whole topic seems to lack some chemistry, which is really suffocating.

"What about the Grammys? Are you going to attend?" mentioned the Golden Globes, and Andy also took the opportunity to mention the matter, which was also one of the priorities of this trip to London, "Before I left, the Grammys sent out an official invitation, and they couldn't find your music manager, so it took a lot of work, and finally passed on to me through Studio Eleven. ”

For singers, there is no agent, then the record company is their job leader.

"Do the Grammys and Berlin overlap in time?" Lan Li did not answer directly, but asked another question.

Berlin Film Festival, as one of the three major film festivals in Europe, is the most artistic, The most political film event, in recent years, the attention has plummeted, the reasons are complex, first of all, the film festival refuses to compromise with the market, refuses to compromise with Hollywood, the star is insufficient, lack of attention; secondly, the film festival adheres to the political attribute and artistic purpose, and the selected works are becoming more and more unpopular, and the cold route is really not close to the people; again, the schedule is embarrassing, February is the coldest time in Germany, the audience's enthusiasm for going out is greatly reduced, and at the same time, it also encounters the Hollywood awards season that is in the sprint stage, and most of the media reporters are staying on the North American mainland。

Another factor that is not the main reason is that the Berlinale is held every year when the Grammys collide. Although there is no direct intersection between one is a film event and the other is a music party, it is undeniable that the trade-offs of entertainment journalists may still be slightly off.

At this year's Berlin Film Festival, Tony Kaye's "Detachment" was successfully shortlisted for the competition unit. For the first time, Blue Gift will appear on the stage of the three major international film festivals, and will receive attention and judgment from all over the world.

However, the festival's promotional schedule is rather special.

For example, if the premiere of "Detachment" at the Berlinale is February 5th, then the promotional schedule of the Blue Rite will continue from the 4th to the 6th, and at most the 7th, for almost four days, including the press conference before the premiere, the red carpet on the day of the premiere, and the interviews and publicity after the premiere.

After all the activities, the crew will leave Berlin. As for the Closing Ceremony and Awards Ceremony, the awards are selected by a jury, and before the Closing Ceremony, they hold a retreat for a few hours or a full day. After the jury has discussed a context and direction, the organizing committee staff will be notified, and then the potential award winners will be summoned back through the organizing committee.

This is true in Berlin, Cannes, Venice. On the day of the closing ceremony or the day before, journalists would wait at the airport to see which actors or directors who had left had been called back, and who could very well be the award winners. Of course, there are also small probability events, where they attend as award presenters or red carpet stars to confuse the public, but the odds are very small.

Therefore, even if the Berlin Film Festival and the Grammys overlap, whether they can attend or not depends on the arrangement of the film's release date, as well as the word-of-mouth trend after the premiere, and the possibility of winning awards at the award ceremony.

"What if it overlaps?" it wasn't Andy who asked, but Nathan, his eyes widened and he said incredulously, "Lan Li, that's the Grammy!

As Nathan said, unlike the many flowers that bloom in film, the Grammys are unique in the world of music, far ahead of a series of awards in the UK, Japan and Europe. For any singer, being able to showcase themselves on the Grammy stage is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lan Li smiled dumbly, "I'm an actor, not a singer." If time strikes, I'd certainly choose Berlin. Isn't there no suspense?" There is no need to hesitate or think about it, the choice has already been decided, "But if the time is right, as you said, it is the most special musical event of the Grammys." I'm almost certain that if it weren't for this year, I would never have had the chance to be on that stage in the future. So, I'm more than happy to visit, it should be very interesting. ”

It's like the Emmy Awards two years ago, with nominations, but more often than not, as a spectator, joining in the carnival, which is a very special experience.

"Luckily, it's not a worry this year. The Grammys have postponed the event, and this year it will officially take place on February 19. Andy took over the topic, "The ratings of the Grammys have been declining for the past few awards ceremonies, and the momentum will definitely not stop, and they are racking their brains this year. I'm not sure why, but the official date for the award ceremony was announced, Sunday, the 19th, a week later than usual. ”

Roy abruptly added that "the BRIT Awards have also been postponed and set to take place on the 12th, in order to avoid the Berlin Film Festival." Then the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards and the Boston Film Critics Association Awards were also held on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. ”

It seems that this is a knock-on effect, as if it were dominoes, and even the Grammys had to make more trade-offs. For all award ceremonies, how to attract more audiences and retain more focus in the Internet era has always been a topic.

Lan Li raised an eyebrow, "Oh, who's going to be in Berlin this year, and the BRIT Awards are worried that European entertainment journalists will shift their focus?" In Europe, the influence of the three major film festivals is unmatched by other award ceremonies, not even the British Academy Awards.

"I know that. "First, this year Berlin will present Meryl Streep with the Lifetime Achievement Award, second, Berlin has officially opened a Crystal Bear award department this year, which corresponds to the Teddy Bear Award and is dedicated to youth and children's films, and third, this year's jury president is Mike Lee. ”

Mike Lee is a British director who has focused on the daily lives of ordinary people for decades, he is one of the most important directors of the British contemporary era, and his influence in the British film industry is second to none. In his directorial career, he has won the Cannes Palme d'Or, the Venice Golden Lion Award, and is one Berlin Golden Bear away from the Grand Slam, but now he has become the president of the jury of the Berlin Film Festival.

Lan Li gently closed his chin, and it is foreseeable that this year's Berlin should be quite lively.

After digression, Andy returned to the topic at the beginning, "This year's Berlinale will be held from February 1 to 11. With a full week of rest and adjustment time before the Grammys, you can enjoy a short vacation. So, are you sure you want to attend the Grammys?"

"Why not?" Lan Li shrugged his shoulders and simply agreed.

"Then are you going to perform on stage?" Andy asked again, such a common question, but Nathan, Roy and Lan Li all cast their eyes, Andy thought about it seriously, there was nothing wrong with this question. "What? Lan Li received six nominations above the Grammys, alongside Adele and Bruno, and the Grammys invited him to perform on stage, isn't it a matter of course?"

Nathan and Roy showed a look of sudden realization, and then Andy also reacted: not only Lan Li, in fact, they are all the same in their hearts, "Lan Li is an actor, not a singer", attending the Grammys is more like a bystander, they never thought that Lan Li would stand on the Grammy stage to perform.

Thinking of this, Andy was a little more interested, and raised his eyebrows at Lan Li, "If you perform on stage, then I think this year's Grammys are worth watching." ”

After reacting, Andy immediately understood, and when the Grammys communicated with Studio Eleven, they repeatedly emphasized that they hoped that Lan Li could perform on stage, even if it was just two songs. Such a gesture does not have the arrogance and coldness of the Grammys at all, but seems warm and cordial - you know, the Grammys stage is not something that any singer can stand on.

Lan Li paused for a moment and smiled dumbly, "Do I have time for rehearsal now?" and Andy choked up.

The Grammys are world-class, and the night was broadcast live around the world, which also meant that every singer who performed on stage had to rehearse and rehearse before they officially took the stage. Even for those top big names, the first two or three rehearsals can use stuntmen to adjust the performance lighting, stage design and other details, but the subsequent rehearsals still have to be rehearsed in person.

Not to mention going to Los Angeles to complete the rehearsals in person, Lan Li didn't even have much time to rehearse the performance in London in private - the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow", the promotion of the Berlin Film Festival, and Andy's next work arrangements...... Awards season is always the busiest season of the year for actors, but Lan Li's busyness is not for the college's public relations, but for real work, and it is really busy to the ground.

Now it seems that missing the Golden Globe is the most sensible choice, and Andy is even beginning to think about whether he should also persuade Lan Li to be absent from the Grammys.

"What? If I refuse to perform, the Grammys will refuse to show me?" Lan Li quipped, and Andy immediately laughed.
