892 Straight to the point
"Welcome to Oscar, rookie, and welcome to a whole new world. β
Harvey said meaningfully, not only to welcome Lan Li to the Oscars for the first time, but also to imply that Lan Li had really entered Hollywood's inner circle for the first time tonight, and had only been wandering around the periphery before.
Lan Li's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze fell on Harvey's left hand, the left hand that hugged his shoulder, and then said with a smile, "At least I can confirm one thing, this is not the world I am familiar with. β
In the UK, especially in high society, they would never make such an "affectionate but vulgar faux pas" behavior, casually slapping each other's shoulders, arms, and backs, which is inappropriate, let alone hugging each other so loudly. For the upper class, this is a disrespectful, disrespectful, and misguided move, and just one action reveals the difference in class, as well as the difference in quality and heritage.
In recent years, after achieving fame. Harvey, like other celebrities in the entertainment industry, has been trying to get the coronation and knighthood of the British royal family, fame and fortune, fame and fortune, fame and fortune, a title of nobility, for people from the entertainment industry, can be called the highest level of recognition.
Even David Beckham is no exception.
The gentlemanly and philanthropic football superstar has a standstill status among British celebrities, but he has also struggled to gain royal approval.
In 2017, hackers broke the email between David and his agent, and David repeatedly scolded the royal family, complaining that they did not crown him, and also said that if it were not for the title of nobility, those charity events would not have been wanted to participate at all.
For Harvey, who travels frequently between England and the United States, he also knows a little about aristocratic etiquette and rules. At this time, Lan Li's sarcasm and ridicule pierced Harvey's dignity extremely harshly, and that incomparably small and humble feeling lingered in his heart, lingering, and the grievance and depression almost exploded in his chest.
Harvey's left hand suddenly became staggered, he could barely suppress his emotions, clenched into a fist, raging with rage, and was on the verge of losing control, but the next moment, Harvey controlled himself, and after a long time on the battlefield, he was no longer the hairy boy he was back then.
"Well, maybe you'd better go back to the world you are familiar with. Harvey's dark, sharp words squeezed out of his teeth, word by word.
Lan Li still didn't care, as if Harvey's words couldn't bring any harm, water and fire were invulnerable, and swords were hard to hurt, "Never left." In fact, it's amazing that we're meeting here today, don't you think?"
The last time we met, it was the Sundance Film Festival, "Love Crazy" was just an independent work of art, costing $250,000, and it was difficult to break through among the other works;
The original confrontation situation was changed and continued again in another form on another stage.
Harvey is still the same Harvey, and the Blue Rite is still the same Blue Rite. The two still stick to their own world and start a showdown.
Harvey's left hand seemed to touch a charcoal fire, and he suddenly retracted it, put it down in a daze, his smile disappeared, his eyes sharpened, and he said meaningfully, "I agree." Well, tonight, good luck. β
"Good luck", this seemed to be everyone's mantra, and Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course, I can use some luck." Again, good luck!"
Originally, Lan Li just responded politely, but then he saw that Harvey's face turned black with a "whoosh", and without any superfluous words, he turned around and left directly, Lan Li was slightly stunned: Did he say the wrong thing?
Then thinking about it seriously, Lan Li himself laughed dumbly: for Xavi, what he needs is not luck, after a long awards season of planning and promotion, what he needs is a natural result. Luck, this is the lucky charm of the weak, but it is a great shame for the strong.
But Lan Li had to make it clear that he really didn't mean sarcasm just nowβat least not in the last sentence. Inadvertently stepping on Harvey's landmine, Lan Li claims that he is very innocent.
But...... The damage has already been done, so let it be.
The footsteps did not continue to stay in place, Lan Li found the figure of Ryan Gosling, raised his feet to meet him, and was about to say hello, but after only two steps, two figures were diagonally inserted in front of the left, one in front of the other, blocking his way.
The one in front of him was like stepping on a hot wheel, and there was a gust of wind behind him, and the one in the back was in a hurry, trying to calm down the person in front of him, but unfortunately the effect was not obvious.
Then, the two figures stood in front of Lan Li in a loud voice.
Standing at the back, Xiao Pingtou, with a slightly curly hair left only a short flat head, but still curled, he looked at Lan Li, his expression was slightly embarrassed, pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, revealing his neat white teeth, and showing a big smile, "Hey, Lan Li." Then he pointed to the man standing in front of him, "Please forgive his enthusiasm, he always loses control easily, I hope we didn't scare you." β
Lan Li chuckled lightly and nodded politely, "Ethan, unexpected encounters always make people happy, not frightened. What's more, it's Oscar's night, and all sanity doesn't count. I had just clenched my fists. As he spoke, Lan Li also raised his clenched right fist, as if to say: There is no rational control, if they move forward, the fist will be about to respond.
Such a humorous way of greeting people really can't help but laugh, and the tense atmosphere has been slightly relieved.
Standing in front of him is another famous pair of brothers in Hollywood, the Coen brothers. The impulsive one is Joel Cohen, and the calm one is Ethan Cohen.
"We don't need these humorous but non-nutritious conversations. Joel still had that irascible look, waved his hand, and interrupted Lan Li and Ethan's conversation simply and directly, "I just want to say, I'm sorry, I made a wrong judgment, my last behavior was really too bad, this is unforgivable." Here, I would like to express my apologies. β
Last time the Berlin Film Festival?
It was the first time the Ranley and Coen brothers met, but the two brothers showed alienation and disdain.
Obviously, they heard rumors in the Hollywood industry, and under the deliberate promotion of the Weinstein brothers, Lan Li became a shameless villain who did not compromise on all means. But now that the truth is clear and clear, the Coen brothers know they made the wrong judgment.
Lan Li's memory reawakened, and then he smiled and nodded, suddenly realizing, "I don't know that it's a serious problem. Do not worry. β
Lan Li is serious.
In Hollywood, where rumors are rife, the gossip always has a bad negative impact, and there are countless similar situations where a relatively fixed negative impression is formed before we meet. What's more, although the Coen brothers' attitude was not very friendly last time, it was far from bad, and there was no need for them to come and apologize.
Joel's eyebrows furrowed, and he shook his head repeatedly, "I don't like your response, it's too polite, it's too gentlemanly, it looks like you're wearing a mask, and there's no sincerity." β
Lan Li's gaze paused slightly, and he was a little surprised by Joel's straightforwardness and calmness, and when he saw Ethan standing behind, his face was full of chagrin, and he said again, "Lan Li, I'm sorry, he's a bastard." Everyone who came into contact with him knew this, and I don't know how Francis put up with him. β
Frances-McDormand, wife of Joel Cohen, has starred in several of the two brothers' productions and won the Oscar for "Ice Storm".
Lan Li chuckled lightly, first closing his jaw at Ethan, "Every artist is a jerk, I think, we're all used to that. We, this one subject is obviously a pun, and it instantly engulfs both Ethan and Lan Li themselves - into the category of bastards, which makes Ethan stunned, and then shows a big smile.
Then, Lan Li looked at Joel again and said seriously, "I accept your apology. β
Responding crisply, Joel nodded contentedly, and then smashed his mouth, "You're an interesting guy." The rumors are not so implausible either. After making up his mind, Joel snapped his fingers, "Well, good luck tonight." With that, Joel didn't linger any longer, turned around and left.
Come in a hurry, leave in a hurry. Sure enough...... Self-centered artist.
Ethan's footsteps were too late, he looked at Joel's back, and turned to look at Lan Li, "I'm serious, and Joel is also serious." The last time we met, it was indeed rude. Now, we all have some regrets that we missed the 'detachment' and don't know when we will see it on the big screen. β
"We can only pray that Tony Kaye will find the right publisher. Lan Li replied seriously, but with a hint of ridicule:
Ethan may be polite, he may be sincere, while Lan Li responds in a semi-serious way, with a hint of self-deprecation in his tone - the distribution of art films is indeed a big problem. Such a contrast creates a kind of humor.
Ethan smiled dumbly and nodded, "Good luck tonight!" and then, nodding goodbye, he turned and chased in the direction Joel had left.
After the Coen brothers left, Lan Li saw Rooney Mara standing in the crowd, and she was standing with several young actresses such as Jennifer Lawrence and Shailene-oodley.
Jennifer also spotted Lan Li's figure, raised her right hand high, and waved it exaggeratedly, the movement was really eye-catching.
Rooney couldn't help but chuckle as well, raised the champagne glass in her hand, gestured in salute, and said with her lips, "Good luck." β
The corners of Lan Li's mouth could no longer be controlled, and they were raised brilliantly, incomparably brightly, and even his eyes were full of smiles, and he shook his head helplessly:
It seems that he does need a lot of luck tonight.
