"Lan Li!"

"Kate."

The call of surprise from his ear made Lan Li, who was finally seated in the red chair, lift his head and get away from his thoughts. Then he saw the dignified and elegant Kate Blanchett standing in front of him, opening her hands and making a warm hug.

Lan Li showed a smile and shook his head.

But Kate stood still, smiling and saying, "please, a gentleman won't let a lady stand here and make a fool of herself. I know you don't like hugs, but I insist

"My pleasure." Lanli stood up, and then Kate rushed over happily, gave lanli a big hug, and cheered in a low voice, "Wow, I finally hugged lanli." Then Kate got back on her feet. "You know, some of my little girls asked me why I didn't hug Langley? Why didn't I work with Langley? Why didn't I say hello to Langley? For God's sake, I'm the queen of the family, OK? "

It's plainly a word of complaint, but it reveals a bit of doting. Kate's face glows with the light of motherhood, and the tenderness between her eyebrows and eyes becomes different.

"You know, young people always think that what is stated on the Internet is the truth, while the truth from parents and books is old-fashioned." Lanli said with a smile.

Kate immediately widened her eyes and motioned to Lan Li with both hands to emphasize her surprise. "Look, look! Sure enough, it's still young people who understand young people. I'd like to invite you to come to our house some other day and let you tell us what's going on with our little rabbits. "

"I thought you were going to invite me as a friend. But it's also acceptable, and I'm always ready to visit you at home. " Lanli's casual humor flitted through the conversation, always keeping the conversation happy. Then he didn't forget to take care of the guest on the right side of the seat, turned his head and shook his head solemnly and said, "I'm very sure and sure that I'm not the father of any child yet."

Kate and Lan Li talk about their parents, but they don't expect that Lan Li can still answer the conversation smoothly. For the bystanders, it's hard to avoid some doubt and curiosity.

However, it is obvious that the focus of the conversation just now is not "parents' experience", but that Kate has issued an invitation to Langley, but has not issued an invitation to other guests around. It is not easy to take care of other guests' ideas even for polite greetings on social occasions. However, Langley has transferred the focus to an interesting perspective by skillful topic shifting, And in the way of self ridicule, the atmosphere immediately became happy.

The seating arrangements for tonight's award ceremony are worth pondering.

Lanli was arranged in the center of the first row close to the left channel, which is undoubtedly one of the core focuses of the whole audience: the location that the camera and the host can not miss, and it is also one of the two channels that the winners must go through, and the whole audience will be shrouded in the coverage of the camera.

Not only that, on his left is best actress nominee Kate Blanchett and her partner Andrew Upton, on his right is best supporting actress nominee Meryl Streep and her partner don gummer, and then Bradley Cooper, And Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Holt, who meet in the red carpet interview area as lovers; Behind him is Alfonso Caron, the best director nominee.

There is a great mystery about the seating arrangement of the Oscar ceremony. All the top popular actors in the Hollywood pyramid can appear in the first and second rows of the central area. On the one hand, it is to take care of the live camera lens selection, on the other hand, it is to make it easy for the host to find the object of ridicule when they are on the stage. The exposure and attention are very important.

Tonight, the blue auditorium is just in the focus area, and Matthew McConnell, chevat egaford and others, who had been popular before, were all arranged in the first row of the left and right flanks, with high degree of attention and strong opinions. The negative rumors that ran through the whole award season can finally come to a period, and "College darling" is still hot.

In addition, the "American hoax" crew forcibly occupied the seats in the first and second rows of the central area, and even director David O. Russell sat on the right side of the first row; The "twelve years of slavery" and "gravity" two hot works have to give up their positions, which also released a little signal ahead of time.

After the simple exchange between lanli and Kate, they both sat down. When they were quiet again, lanli could not help thinking of Ryan's reply

"Robert didn't hide his support for you. He revealed that he is negotiating with you to set up a unit or section in Sundance, hoping to support the artistic creation of more independent films. Maybe it's in the form of a foundation, maybe it's in the form of a non competition unit. The specific situation is still under discussion, but he said, "your determination is the fundamental reason why he decided to take action."

Ryan's source is Robert Redford.

Of course, Robert didn't tell the whole story, nor did he mention Sisyphus directly. Instead, he put forward some plans for the future development of Sundance at a private party; But Ryan has enough knowledge of lanli. His first reaction is to call Roy to inquire about lanli's plan.

"Many people say that this year's award season, Robert made a special trip to endorse you. If I didn't know enough about you, I know you must be dedicated to independent film. Sundance's time is so special that it's such a coincidence. Otherwise, I would almost believe these rumors. "

In a few words, Langley can't figure out the whole story. He has no way to know how much Robert has done in various occasions of college public relations. He also has no way to know whether Robert is just giving back or sincere. However, he is willing to believe that Robert doesn't mix any impurities and selfish thoughts for the sake of independent films, He has no way to be 100% calm.

True, Sisyphus's blueprint for the future includes a huge plan for independent films, but Langley is also selfish. He hopes that he will live up to Andre's trust. He hopes that he can participate in more independent works as he likes, and he also hopes that he can have more colleagues on the road of his dream.

Compared with Robert, he is not honest enough.

As a result, Ryan's simple words set off a storm in the heart of lanli. He sat quietly in his chair, immersed in his own thoughts, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose gently——

Sitting in the Dolby theater to attend the Oscar ceremony, I am thinking about the insistence of independent film and art creators. There are two different trends in their thoughts and actions. Is this another kind of deduction that leads to the same goal? If so, what is the goal of "going back together"? If not, how should he choose?

"Lan Li?" Meryl nudged her right hand and whispered, turning her head. "Here we go." Meryl reminds me with her mouth.

While thinking about it, the light of Dolby theater is slowly dim, and the agitation of the scene is gradually settling down, which also means that the award ceremony is about to officially begin.

Lenley smiles at Meryl to express her gratitude, and then picks up her thoughts, puts those reflections in her mind for the time being, and devotes herself to the grand meeting in front of her. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what happened in the future, at least, this party feast is a summary of the past 2013. Let them relax and enjoy tonight.

Last year, the college boldly launched Seth McFarlane as the host, which can not be said to be a failure, but it can not be said to be a success. Seth's boldness and courage won the applause of young people and created a wave of extensive discussion on the social network; However, Seth's breakthrough and breakthrough has become the object of criticism by countless professionals, and the wave of criticism is even higher than the voice of praise. This makes the college realize that reform is imperative, but they can't rush it.

This year, after careful consideration, the college invited Alan dejanis back.

At the 79th awards ceremony seven years ago, Ellen showed her humor, and her funny style was suitable for the whole family. The "Ellen show" is a morning talk show, and it also has a certain hot topic on the social network; What's more, she is a female host and has come out in public, which plays an important role in changing the rigid impression of the college.

It looks like a good idea.

At least in the beginning.

When Ellen dejanis appeared on the stage in a handsome black suit, the audience gave a warm applause, and even heard the men's whistles, which made Ellen show a brilliant smile. She also whistled in response, which caused a lot of laughter.

Alan spread out his hands, made a puzzled expression, as if to say: isn't that the response?

After that, Allen showed a brilliant smile and said, "thank you. thank you. Thank you When the applause gradually subsided, Allen stood in the same place and maintained a rigid movement, "Er, this stopped? I was looking forward to more applause, you know, just like the last time lanli visited my show, applause made him have no way to speak, oh, it seems that I think too much, tonight I'm not the leading role, I'm just responsible for introducing the leading role... The leading role. "

The audience burst into laughter.

Alan shrugged. "I don't think there's a problem with my use of nouns, right? Mr. Langley hall. "
