Chapter 319

The resplendent banquet hall is full of fine clothes and music.

Halle Berry and Melissa Leo are talking cordially; Tom Hanks, who had just arrived at the scene, was surrounded by a large group of people; The meeting between Daniel Bauer and Tom Hooper was a bit awkward. They just nodded their heads and left quickly; As soon as Angelina Jolie sat down, she took out her little mirror and began to make up

Looking at the big round tables in front of him, Lan Li felt a sense of joy, as if he had returned to the previous life and participated in other people's wedding banquet. If a revolving table was placed on the big round table, and then two plates of melon seeds were placed, the seven aunts and eight aunts could start to chat.

Unlike the stepped auditorium of other award ceremonies, the Golden Globe chose the Hilton Hotel as the site of the award ceremony, so their seat design is also unique. In the open space in front of them, there are 12 large round tables, each table can accommodate 10 guests; The rear is a step up, but also a round table spread out, the last step up, on the third floor platform, round table continues to occupy the most peripheral space.

Nominees from major departments, including directors, actors and screenwriters, are arranged to sit in the round table on the first floor, just like a round table meeting; The rest of the crew will sit in the rear seats.

The whole hall looks like a jazz bar of the golden age.

Lanli looked up and looked around for the "Pacific War" crew. Since the Emmy Awards ended, lanli hasn't seen that group of old friends for several months.

Tonight, due to the lack of awards from the technical department of the Golden Globe Award, the number of members of the "Pacific War" crew has shrunk rapidly. Before lenley asked, only six actors, including Lamy Marek and James Becky Dale, were present. Lenley included only four directors and the crew, plus two famous producers, There are five hundred people in the huge crew, and only 12 people are present in the end.

From a distance, lanli saw Ramina's smiling figure on the second floor platform, said hello to Ryan, and then walked up quickly. The meeting of old friends suddenly became joyful. Everyone hugged lanli one after another and congratulated him on his two nominations in this year's Golden Globe Awards in a humorous way.

Tonight, "Pacific War" has only two nominations, one for best miniseries and TV movies, and the other for best actor in miniseries and TV movies. Everyone is looking forward to lenley's continuing strength in the Emmy Awards and continuing to add luster to the cast.

In just a few months, the career path of lanli has undergone earth shaking changes, and the rising speed is really amazing. However, the revolutionary friendship cultivated by the long shooting has not changed at all. They are still talking and laughing.

When lanli returned to the first floor round table, more than two-thirds of the seats were occupied. Lanli stopped a little, raised his chin and looked for his seat.

"Here, Langley, here."

Lanli followed the voice and saw Ryan's right hand raised high, with a bright smile on his face and steady steps.

Ryan pointed to his right-hand side of the position, blue Li went to see, sure enough, put his name plate.

On the occasion of the award ceremony, every seat arrangement is particular and must be carefully arranged. If the organizer arranges Angelina Jolie next to Jennifer Aniston, it's not necessary to wait for the next day. It's estimated that the scene of the award ceremony will fall out, not only can't be around, but also the two people should be far apart.

Lanli smiles and nods to the other people in the round table, only to find that the seating arrangement of the Hollywood Foreign Journalists Association is really interesting. They actually put all the new stars of "generation Y" together——

James Franco is sitting directly opposite Langley, and Natalie Portman is sitting in the past three positions on Ryan's left. She and Langley can't see each other at all; Jesse Eisenberg and Emma stone sat next door, next to Jack Gyllenhaal and Michelle Williams, the old acquaintance of Brokeback Mountain.

On Langley's right is Jennifer Lawrence.

"Long time no see." Jennifer said hello with a smile, but lanli looked at her dress critically. "You seem to be sitting at the wrong table. Are you sure it's not the table next door?"

Today, Jennifer is wearing a navy blue puzzle wave dress. It's really dazzling. Not only is there no fashion to speak of, but even her youth is lost. It makes her look like 27 instead of 20.

But Jennifer did not show his weakness, and he left his mouth open and he Tucao directly to make complaints about it. "Are you sure that you came here today to attend the award ceremony? Instead of going to the beach for a holiday? "

"Do you know each other?" Ryan asked curiously.

Lan Li nodded and explained simply, "we worked together on the last work." Ryan suddenly realized, and then in the blue under the bridge, two people do a simple self introduction.

"I feel a little uneasy sitting here." Ryan straightened his back uneasily, and his back muscles tensed involuntarily. "I always feel like there are arrows in his back."

Their table is placed in the center, facing the stage. Three steps ahead is the stage steps. There are three cameras behind them, a mobile camera in front of them, and two camera directors beside them. It's just one spotlight away. It's really eye-catching.

It can be seen from this small detail that the Golden Globe prize intentionally emphasizes the theme of "generation Y". No matter how many actors of generation Y can win the prize tonight, the key point is that the rising posture of the whole batch of actors is irresistible. In the next two or three years, these new stars will be the focus of attention.

Lan Li also looked back to the rear. There were two round tables in the back. There were many senior leaders in the industry, and then there was a slightly higher guest table. Lanli understood the meaning of Ryan's words, and felt that they were just like gun targets. They were placed in a prominent position, waiting for everyone's comments.

"That's good." Lan Li took back his sight and said with a smile, "when the winners go to the stage, we have to go through the road. We can observe their expressions carefully. It's like watching sunset boulevard up close

"What if you won the prize?" Jennifer also joined in the fun.

"I don't think I have any chance tonight," he said. Didn't you agree? Let's not hurt each other. " The helpless expression made both Jennifer and Ryan laugh.

Lanli is not joking. He clearly knows that the rules of Hollywood industry are not aimed at a specific person, but the rules of the whole industry over the past century, forming a deep-rooted fixed concept, which is closely related to the planning of actors' career.

If an actress wants to make a breakthrough before she is 40 years old, it will be even more difficult if she doesn't make a breakthrough before she is 40 years old. There are only a few nearly perfect old actors like Meryl Streep and Katharine Hepburn in the whole history; If an actor wants to make a breakthrough and be patient, he will win the acting nomination before he is 30 years old, which is already a rare victory. He is quietly waiting for the golden age of 35 to 45 years old to come and seek to break out.

Age is a fetter for women and a fetter for men.

Therefore, a "live burial" won the acting nomination for Lan Li, which is a huge breakthrough. What's more, this is only his first film. He has just started his acting exploration; This is an independent small pattern work without foundation. The overall strength and thickness of the work are still not enough. It lacks the ability to go further in the award season.

Tonight, Lan Li just came to watch. He didn't have the slightest psychological burden or the slightest expectation. He was totally in the mood of focusing on participation. Even more relaxed than at the Emmy Awards.

"Are you really not nervous at all?" Ryan asked in a low voice. When he lowered his eyes, lanli noticed that Ryan was wiping his palm.

To be honest, Colin is undoubtedly the best actor in this year's drama competition. In addition, Jesse has become a hot topic by virtue of the topic effect of "social network", but by comparison, Ryan is definitely worthy of the second candidate.

In 2007, he won the Golden Globe nomination with "love of inflatable dolls", plus "half Nelson" in 2006, his inside information is undoubtedly the best among the other candidates. What's more, this is the Golden Globe Award. Under the cover of entertainment supremacy, all boundaries are relatively relaxed. Ryan, who is just 30 years old this year, is indeed a popular candidate.

As Langley said, if it wasn't for Colin, he would support Ryan to win the prize.

"I'm not nervous now, but maybe I'll be when it's announced later." Lan Li said half jokingly.

Ryan took the candy out of his pocket. "You eat milk candy, don't you?" Then he handed one to lanli, then he peeled one himself and threw it into his mouth. "God, why do I think it's more intense than audition?"

Because the audition situation is in their own hands, although the decision is made by the audition director, but the performance content and skills are their own knowledge; But the award ceremony is unknown. The result of everything is unknown and unpredictable. The higher the expectation, the more obvious the tension.

"Because countless women are watching you?" Ranley's joking reply made Ryan laugh, and the atmosphere became active. Ryan squinted at Jennifer and then at Natalie. Even if he didn't speak, his meaningful eyes were rich enough.

Lanli didn't speak much, but quietly cast his eyes to Michelle, which immediately made Ryan feel embarrassed. Tonight, Ryan and Michelle are on the red carpet alone, and in the past few months, rumors have never mentioned their spark. It can be seen that all this is still in the confidential stage.

In the midst of conversation and laughter, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed slowly, and the award ceremony was about to begin.
