Tonight, a private house in the Upper East Side is holding a private party.

This private party is different from the previous pool audition party where Lan Li participated in the "Edge of Tomorrow". This is a truly "private" party. Only guests who receive an invitation can attend; and keep it sufficiently private and low-key. Even most reporters, they may not know that a private party is being held in New York.

This is a private party held by Scott Rudin.

As a producer, Scott is definitely the top in the industry. In addition to many classics in recent years, such as "Social Network", "Thunder Land", "Old Nowhere", "Blood is Coming", etc., during this year's awards season, He has three works, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "Penalty Kick" and "Extremely Loud, Very Close", all of which have entered the final battle for the Oscars.

The status in the industry is not inferior to that of the Weinstein brothers.

However, Scott's abilities mainly lie in his connections and production. What he is best at is to gather an extremely powerful cast of casts, select accurate scripts, and complete the shooting of a movie; while the Weinstein brothers' abilities mainly lie in public relations and Propaganda, tactical selection of works at major film festivals, purchase of distribution copyrights, big waves and sandstorms, have an impact on the awards season at the end of the year.

People in the industry generally believe that Scott is a filmmaker and the Weinstein brothers are businessmen. This is the difference.

Tonight’s private party is definitely one of the highlights of the Academy’s public relations during the awards season. It is rumored that this was held for Brad Pitt to attack the Oscar winners. In the current awards season, he even lags behind Renly, let alone temporarily ahead of George Clooney and Jean Dujard. Dan is comparable, he needs to work hard.

Such private parties are countless in the award season.

According to the official regulations of the academy, the publicity occasions and public relations activities organized by the nominated production producers, such occasions, the college judges need to avoid suspicion; but the problem is that Hollywood is a small circle, and the composition of the college judges is actors, directors, and directors. Production and so on, everyone has familiar friends, attending events, taking care of each other, this is normal.

So, in name, this is a private party to celebrate Scott Rudin's purchase of a brand new yacht. It has nothing to do with movie promotion. This is a side-kick. It was first brought about by the Weinstein brothers. The college tried several warnings, but was unable to do anything.

Naturally, the host of the party needs to keep a low-key, fanfare and publicity, not only does no good, but also puts himself in a conspicuous place and becomes a target. As a result, even reporters, they may not be sufficiently informed.

This invitation letter for a private party comes from Andy Rogers. With Lanli’s current status in the industry, the reputation is sufficient and the weight is insufficient, the owner usually does not take the initiative to send out invitations, but the agent will be able to ask for an invitation letter through contacts, and there is no problem.

As expected, the private party tonight is definitely a gathering of big names.

Two hermits, Martin Scorsese and Terrence Malick, rarely appeared at parties. Neither of these directors is a social type, especially the latter. If it is not for filming, most of them He can't be seen in social situations. Tonight, Scott Rudin's face is obviously not small.

Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, and David Fincher, the three hottest industry leaders, deservedly become the focus of attention. Everyone is surrounded by a large number of people, chatting and laughing, and coveting them.

However, the appearance of Lan Li changed the situation. It was not because Lan Li’s momentum surpassed the three popular figures, but because the three people took the initiative to greet and communicate with Lan Li. Inadvertently, everyone All eyes gathered.

Tom and Renly’s personal relationship is not close, but every time they meet, they talk about each other very happily. This time is no exception. Tom obviously heard about the treatment of "transcendence" in Berlin and said that he couldn't wait to see it. This work.

David and Lan Li have met several times, but the two have never been formally introduced to each other. Tonight, David took the initiative to nod with Lan Li, and Lan Li took the initiative to introduce himself. The two talked about the "dragon tattoo girl" nearly cooperating, and also talked about the intriguing work "Transcendence".

As for Brad, in fact, the two have only met once, and the nodding acquaintance does not count. However, after passing by, Brad took the initiative to keep Lan Li, talked about "Edge of Tomorrow", and also talked about auditioning for the pool party. As a social fun, he shared it with everyone and won A kind of laughter.

Renly could clearly feel the positive kindness released by Brad. Think about it, it’s not difficult to understand:

Now George Clooney and Jean Dujardin have joined forces, both in public and in private, both in and out of each other, endorsing each other, and the momentum is rising; while Brad is weak and has never been able to form an effective confrontation. Compared with Gary Oldman, who treated the college's public relations negatively, Renly was clearly a more suitable alliance choice.

In addition to these big names with strong appeal, Lanly also met Wes Anderson (bach) two maverick independent directors.

The former was born in Houston, but is an orthodox New York academic school; the latter is a New Yorker born and raised, and his parents are both intellectuals. These two directors have one thing in common: more or less autobiographical shadows can be found in the movies, and they are also Woody Allen-style literary youths.

In 2009, the critically acclaimed stop-motion animation, "The Great Fox Daddy", was a collaboration between Wes and Noah.

Both directors are very interesting. Of course, it can be said to be strange.

The first is Noah. He rushed over excitedly, without introducing himself, and stupidly saying "Love is crazy". The ending is one of his favorite pictures on the big screen this year; then he talked about emotions. The brokenness of love and the eternity of love, in the end, I don’t know how to get around the book of "War and Peace".

The two talked very happily, but Noah suddenly said, "Jesus Christ, you are such a freak. Talking about literature at a party?" After dropping this sentence, he turned and left again. Still didn't introduce myself.

Then it was Wes. The two stood close to each other unintentionally. Wes directly expressed his disappointment. He liked the script of "Crazy Love" but did not like the director's way of expression. He liked Lanly Acting, but doesn't like emotional appeal, "There is no sense of humor." This is what Weiss said.

After simply expressing his thoughts, Wes left like this...Leaving, without even waiting for Lan Li's response, Shi Shiran turned around and left after expressing some opinions endlessly.

However, Lan Li is not the type to be caught in a hurry. After the party, Lan Li and the two directors both had the opportunity to meet again and had a brief conversation.

For Weiss, Lan Li said that he did not like "youth", and his favorite was "Crossing Darjeeling" because "you are trying to show off your cleverness, but in fact, the audience sees through it. This is obviously a bad attempt." As a result, Weiss was entangled in Lan Li, babbling and discussing about "Crossing Darjeeling".

For Noah, Lan Li said that for his own story, a "Squid and Whale" is enough. He should step out of his comfort circle and shoot some other themes. "New York, what do you think?" Noah asked when Renly had any clever ideas, he replied. Originally, Noah was mocking and mocking, but the two of them clashed, and you came and I talked about New York.

Near midnight, Lan Li seemed to have become the focus of the party. This kind of party is not difficult for Lan Li. It can be understood as an upper-class party in London, but the number of stages and levels are much lower, and you can find a place in it without any effort, and then get a firm foothold——

To be precise, it is not only that, but is easy to do.

The phone in his pocket vibrated slightly, and then it fell silent. The text message is coming. Lan Li smiled and nodded towards Rachel Vichy in front of him, "I need to temporarily lose company." At the same time, he raised the champagne glass and gestured. This is actually a euphemism for "bathroom time", which is the same as an excuse for ladies to make-up.

Later, Lan Li appeared at the party again. Stop and go, talk and laugh, spent nearly twenty-five minutes, came to the protagonist Scott Rudin tonight, expressed congratulations and expectations, "Unfortunately it is not yacht season, otherwise we can try the world The whole process of the King’s.” Without spending too much effort, Lan Li was integrated into their topic circle.

However, after staying for about five minutes, Lan Li also left. Before leaving, Brad found Lan Li again and said meaningfully, "I look forward to more opportunities to talk in the next few weeks." Then he greeted him with a friendly handshake and expressed his farewell.

Leaving the noise of the party~www.novelhall.com~ The coldness and tranquility of the cold night are surging, and it seems that just a door separates the two worlds. Lan Li made a phone call and notified Nathan, who was waiting in the nearby 24-hour parking lot. After a short while, Nathan drove to a stop on the side of the road and watched Lan Li get into the car.

Nathan cast his gaze through the rearview mirror and hesitantly asked, "Shall we go straight home?" It was only 11:30, and the party had just reached its climax. Lan Li chose to leave at this time. Sen took it for granted that Lan Li was tired.

However, Lan Li shook his head and said calmly, "Mount Sinai Hospital." After a short pause, he seemed to notice that Nathan's hesitation had stopped. Lan Li added, "Thirty minutes ago, Heather Passed away. I will fly to Los Angeles tomorrow. I may not have time. I will go to the hospital to give condolences."

Still calm, still organized, and still calm. There is no slight difference, no ups and downs, even the emotions are faint, as if they are just stating a simple fact.

Nathan couldn't help but was stunned, staring at the empty street directly in front, blankly. 8)
