Olivia Coleman, in the 2018 award season, first won the best actress award at the Venice Film Festival with the help of "beloved" directed by oggs, and then went all the way to beat Glenn Close, who was nominated for the seventh time but never won the award, in the Oscar, and won the little gold Medal of the film queen——

Not only because "beloved" is Olivia's first Oscar nomination; And it's because before beloved, Olivia was rarely familiar to the audience.

But in fact, Olivia's popularity in the field of TV dramas and dramas is different in the UK, especially in the industry.

Born in Norfolk, England, the actor's father is a royal chartered surveyor and his mother is a nurse. He is shy and introverted, and has a plain face; Moreover, she suffered from anorexia for a long time because she had no confidence in her body. Even now, she still had no confidence in her slightly fat body. Especially after the first birth, she once struggled with postpartum depression, and her life was very difficult.

Olivia's family can't be regarded as ordinary - she studied in a private high school, but she can't be regarded as wealthy. She was moving and bumpy during her adolescence. Through her own efforts, she was admitted to Cambridge University, looking forward to becoming a primary school teacher; At Cambridge University, she became interested in acting and met her future husband, ed Sinclair, in the amateur drama club.

Ed, who studied in the law department, became a writer instead of a lawyer; Similarly, Olivia did not become a primary school teacher. After only one semester, she decided to take a break from school, give herself a period of time, and try to become a real actor - Olivia and Langley are on the same path in a way.

Her mother suggested that she give herself a year's trial and error period; And she gave herself ten years.

After leaving school, Olivia first studied in the amateur drama club of Cambridge University, and then went to the old Vicker theatre in Bristol to study drama. After graduation, she started her acting career, but she spent nearly 20 years of nameless period.

She once acted in advertisements, lived in the attic of a friend's house, found coins from the cracks of the sofa to buy potatoes to satisfy her hunger, and worked as a cleaner for a long time. Her life of starvation lasted for a long time. Until 2010, she opened up the situation through the TV drama "the troubled priest", This gave her a chance to perform "Tyrannosaurus Rex" - a film that won a special Sundance Jury Award in 2011 for Olivia's performance with her hero Peter Mullan, and won the British Academy Award for best local talent the following year.

It was an important turn in Olivia's career as an actress.

The "2012" in 2011, the "complaint" in 2012 and the "small town doubt" in 2013 have brought us to the peak of our career through three years, three TV dramas and three steps, which can really be called a household name with both fame and wealth; At the same time, she also appeared as a special guest in the British National TV series "doctor mystery", and her popularity reached its peak.

Compared with movies, Olivia's achievements in the field of TV series are unbelievable. Later, she appeared in "night manager", "crown", "London life", "les miserables" and other dramas one after another. Every character in every work can get the unanimous praise of the industry. There is no doubt that in the second decade of the 21st century, Olivia's success in the field of TV series is remarkable, One of the most important TV actors.

If it's Hollywood, TV actors will more or less try to enter the film field after they become famous. As for whether they can succeed, that's another thing; However, in Britain, TV plays have a unique position. The transformation of TV actors into film actors does exist, but it is not a common phenomenon.

Olivia did not take the initiative to try. Although she did play in several films, none of them is the type that can be seen in the mainstream market. She still insists on enjoying the happiness brought by acting in her own comedies. Some people say that this is called staying in her own comfort field, refusing to make progress or change; But some people say that this is called constantly polishing in their own professional field, seeking their own breakthrough.

In Langley's opinion, Olivia belongs to the latter.

"Lobster" is a small attempt of Olivia in the field of film. It still continues her consistent style, chooses a supporting role, gives the role unique charm with her own performance style in the limited space, and then quietly blooms the light of the role.

For lanli, the most anticipated thing in this shooting of "lobster" is the cooperation with Olivia - not because Olivia won the Oscar later, but because Olivia's comedy performance style is very powerful and shows her unique performance temperament; This also makes Lan Li extremely looking forward to the joint performance, especially the opponent play, looking forward to his comedy performance to make more attempts.

But I didn't expect that after the first meeting, the simple conversation left a deep impression on Olivia. The wisdom revealed by her actions shows the precipitation and accumulation after years, and exudes a unique charm from the inside to the outside.

Now Langley can vaguely understand how Olivia completed the reversal of the Jedi in the future award season of the last life, with Glen Cross's momentum and voice leading. She really showed an interesting soul, which is hard not to be liked in college public relations.

"... I prefer to show the interesting soul of the character in front of the film lens." Lenley's response made Olivia laugh happily.

She made a strangling expression. "It's a pity that the audience should have a deep understanding of your real face. I think they will like it."

"What do you like?" The wind sent a cheerful voice with a little excitement.

Olivia turned her head, and Langley raised her chin in response to the sound. Then she could see Leia Sadou with short blond hair coming from the hotel. "We've been watching inside for a long time, but you seem to stay here and can't move. Are you waiting for the sun to come out?"

Olivia said meaningfully, "we're talking about what girls are going to fall for Mr. Langley hall." As she spoke, her eyes meaningfully moved back and forth between Leiya and lanli, and the hint was really obvious. But her eyes were very hidden, and there was no sense of gossip. On the contrary, they were naughty and funny.

Leia Saidu and Langley met her in Cannes last year. This new generation of French actor is famous for her "Adele's life"; In fact, she has appeared in "midnight Paris", "mission impossible 4", "shameless bastard" and other works before, and last year she also appeared in "Budapest Hotel".

As the granddaughter of the chairman of EMI, an old French film company, and the niece and granddaughter of the chairman of GAOMENG film company, Leiya is a typical star of three generations, coming from a performing family; However, she is still down-to-earth to look for performance opportunities, hoping to really polish the edges of acting skills.

Aware of Olivia's eyes, Leiya and lanli exchange a sight, and then both laugh. Leiya has a stable out of circle boyfriend, and lanli has established a relationship with Rooney. Although they don't know each other's private life, they really don't call each other.

Such a frank and frank response made Olivia a little uncomfortable. She realized that she might have guessed wrong, but she didn't panic. She said with a smile, "obviously, I should add the boy option."

Such a witty reaction made both lanli and Leiya laugh.

"Hey! You! It's going to rain. If you don't come in, you may be rejected by the hotel. "

Three people look at the past together, Ben - westshaw did not finally be able to bear emotions, took the initiative to come out, raised his voice to greet. Obviously, Langley and Olivia have been standing at the door for so long that the actors and crew in the hotel can't help it.

Lanli once again stretched out her right hand to Olivia. This time, Olivia did not refuse any more. She handed the suitcase to lanli and said "thank you" with a smile. Then the three men walked to the hotel door more than ten steps away.

Ben westshaw warmly hugged Olivia, who is also active in the field of British TV drama, and Olivia are obviously acquaintances; What's more, wesshaw and Leiya have just cooperated with "007: Ghost party", and they are no strangers. Only Langli meets for the first time.

"I hope you're not talking about my being late, or I'll be ashamed." Lanli took the initiative to say that all the other actors had arrived. Now it seems that lanli is indeed the one who arrived last.

In this way, Lansley dissolved the atmosphere of the scene, and westshaw couldn't help laughing. "No, we are discussing how oggs trained a parking lot boy with obsessive-compulsive disorder, whether it's a coincidence or his royal staff?" A joke, let everyone together toward the parking lot cast line of sight, and then collective laughter.

Just like Olivia and Leiya, wesshaw is also a well-known name in the industry. Before he entered the field of television and film, he had been in the drama circle for several years, and made his name by relying on Hamlet; In 2006, a space for one person to enter the public field was made by perfume. The following "Richard S", "cloud picture", "007: big screen kill" and "Paddington Bear", he successfully won a place in the film industry.

From here you can see the whole "lobster" crew - this is a crew with solid acting skills, and each actor has a certain reputation and popularity in his own field! This is supposed to be another big star gathering after Star Trek.
