Oscar, in the field of contemporary society, this is the highest award for the combination of business and art. In North America, it joins the Emmy Awards, Grammys, and Tony Awards as the four authoritative awards in the entertainment industry; in the world, it joins the Berlin Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, and the Cannes Film Festival. The highest honor.

People can dislike it, or even despise it. But there is no doubt that the influence and authority of Oscars is the top of the top. For every film practitioner, this is the ultimate dream-perhaps European art creators are an exception.

Climbing to the top of the Oscar, this is the culmination of any film practitioner's career, especially actors, directors and screenwriters; then, what about after the summit? It's like after climbing Mount Everest and seeing all the mountains and small mountains, what should we do next? How can we surpass the achievements of Oscars? How can we continue to stay above the peak?

Standing at the top, this also means that the space on the uphill road is very limited, and if you are not careful, it will be downhill. Being at the bottom of the valley and seeking the peak are actually the same. The former is irreversible, and the latter is facing barriers. They all need to break and stand, but actual operation is by no means easy.

In real life, after the peak of the Oscars, actors are often prone to fall into a long-term downturn, especially actresses. People jokingly call it "three years of failure to win awards", which is also known as the charm of the little golden man.

Liza-Minnelli in "The Cabaret" in 1972; Louise-Fletcher in "Flying Over the Madhouse" in 1975; "A Trip to Bountiful" in 1985 Geraldine-Page (Geraldine-Page), they almost disappeared after reaping the golden man.

As for the actors who fell into a career crisis after capturing the movie, there are many actors, such as Cher (Cher) of "Moonlight", Jessica-Lange (Jessica-Lange) of "Indulgence of Heart" , Susan-Saradon in "Death Row", Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shakespeare in Love", Halle Berry in "Dance of Death Row"...

Such a list can be long and endlessly enumerated. It’s not complicated to discuss the reasons carefully. After the peak of the career brought by the Oscars, the value of the actors has risen, and the pay may triple or even more; at the same time, the audience’s expectations have been further improved, and they are always looking forward to these actors. Demonstrate the strength or ability "in line with the little golden man".

The problem is that Oscar only recognizes the actor's performance in a particular movie, not the entire acting career, nor the actor's individual. There are countless actor and actresses after one time; one nomination is even more numerous. Old drama bones like Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day Lewis need time to accumulate. .

Therefore, when a new movie is released, the distribution company and publicity department can mark the title of "Xinke Actor/Queen" to attract attention, but this does not mean box office appeal.

For the new Oscar winners, they have increased the opportunities for works and challenges; but in essence, it is difficult for the strength to change drastically, and the excitement has not been truly improved.

Once the completion of the work fails to meet expectations, or the box office fails, it is easy to fall into the gap between the surface scenery and the actual status, fail to rise, and then gradually disappear from the audience's sight.

Generally speaking, the years before the award is the golden age for actors, because at that time the pursuit of the quality of the work was the main goal, and the remuneration was reasonable, and there were more opportunities; after the award, either for the purpose of making money, it began to appear frequently in popcorn. In the film, but the quality can not keep up, or it is sticking to the field of art film, struggling to find a breakthrough, but it is getting more and more difficult.

In the final analysis, after the career reaches its peak, mentality adjustment and self-positioning are crucial. If you are fascinated by the light of the Golden Man and lose the accurate judgment of your position, then, in the Hollywood where interests are paramount, the additional effect of the Golden Man will easily lose control and eventually lead to steadily retreating.

The so-called little golden man curse is not a kind of Vanity Fair curse.

For actors, after winning the Oscar, the choice of the next work must be cautious and more cautious.

On the one hand, it is best to make a little challenge different from the image of the award-winning work; on the other hand, the challenge should not be too extraordinary. Subversive attempts often lead to an avalanche of defeat.

On the one hand, they need to be separated from their own safety and comfort areas. For example, artistic film actors try some commercial possibilities. If they have tried before, they can go further now; on the other hand, they must not be too radical, Tom Cruise , Why does Will Smith never get the Oscar, because their commercial attributes are too clear.

The simple summary is: difficult.

Everyone sees the award-winning scenery, including actors and agents. But the planning and consideration after the award has become more difficult. After all, the career is not over yet.

At the beginning of the year, after becoming the youngest actor winner in film history by virtue of "Love Is Crazy", all eyes were focused on Lan Li: How would he choose his next work? Art movie? Or a commercial movie? Or is it to release the second solo album?

At only 22 years old, Lan Li’s career as an actor has just begun, and there are endless possibilities in the future. He reached the Oscar early, which can be the pinnacle of Lan Li’s career, but it may also be the beginning of a downhill road.

It is worth noting that all of Lanly's works have maintained a record of victory so far, and even the "buried alive" with the lowest box office number has made a lot of money. So, after the Little Golden Man, can Lan Li continue to maintain such a momentum? With higher expectations and attention, can Lanly continue to be recognized by the audience?

This is what Andy Rogers and the entire creative artist management company are thinking hard about.

From this perspective, in fact, Lanly went to the West End of London to participate in the performance of "Les Miserables". This received unanimous support from the creative artist agency. They even allocated a small part of their power to help Andy. Promote the propaganda momentum of "Les Miserables" on Broadway and North America.

the reason is simple. Dedicated to polishing the acting skills, devoted to professional research, showing a humble and cautious attitude, even if it is an Oscar, it is still not arrogant or impetuous, but more down to earth, which can quickly cool down the old academics of the college, as well as ordinary audiences. The jealousy and hatred brought by the "twenty-two-year-old actor".

If it is other times, young actors who are in their rising careers choose to return to London’s West End or Broadway, the agent will probably be swearing; but Lanly is a special one, and the innovative artist agency has made every effort to promote related cooperation and follow-up arrangements. After the temperature rises quickly, the temperature drops quickly.

But what about after "Les Miserables"?

In the past few months, Renly has been busy in London, and Andy has not been idle in Los Angeles. Even if Lan Li is not around, he is still the focus of Andy's work. He has been selecting projects over and over again, screening and screening, from pure art films to independent low-cost productions, from popcorn commercials to unique styles. Commercial works,

Now, what Andy is pursuing is not a simple salary or award, but more meticulous and cautious.

Commercial popcorn blockbuster? No problem, but now Lanly's personal image has gradually formed, which means that the character image needs to be compatible with Lanly; independent art film? The same is not a problem, but the characters or themes need to be broken, and you can't repeat yourself.

In addition, they must also consider Lan Li's current position. The remuneration of "Edge of Tomorrow" has reached 10 million U.S. dollars, and there is a 5% box office dividend. This means that the remuneration of commercial works must not be less than 12 million U.S. dollars; and independent works of art also need to start. The director and the script have been selected. If it is an unknown work, then Lan Li needs to start being named as a producer.

Traveling against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat. They must accept the effects of the Oscar statuettes.

The most important thing is that Lan Li needs to nod in agreement.

Andy clearly understands that, in many cases, Lan Li is a partner who is very easy to communicate with. There is no remuneration requirement, no studio privileges, no weird problems, and even no fault of the co-production crew; but sometimes, Lan Li is also A very troublesome partner has strict to almost harsh requirements on the script, the role, and the director.

This is not an easy task, it is a very difficult task.

Recently, the most interesting proposal Andy received was from Warner Bros.: They asked if Renly was interested in starring in Batman.

Christopher Nolan's "Batman Prequel Trilogy", the last one has been finalized, and will be released on July 20 this year. Christian Bale’s Batman is about to retire. After the contract ends, there is no plan to renew the contract; but now Warner Bros. has begun planning, hoping to find a brand new actor to take over Batman.

Obviously, Lan Li is on their waiting list.

Andy refused ~www.novelhall.com without any hesitation, not because of pay or anything, but because of Lan Li's temperament and style, which has nothing to do with Batman. It's as if Warner Bros. chose Nicholas Cage to play Superman back then-it didn't make it in the end, and Warner Bros. back then chose George Clooney to play Batman-it was defeated at last, and now it's not wise to choose Renly.

More accurately, it makes people dumbfounded.

It is interesting to note that Universal Pictures sent a tentative inquiry, is it possible for Luke Hobbs's rumor? Obviously, this is behind Van Diesel's opinion, not to mention whether Renly will return to the future sequel series of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion", but Universal Pictures is still optimistic about the role of Luke Hobbs. The single rumor.

Andy did not directly refuse, but temporarily put it aside on the issue of schedule, and then look at the game between the two sides.

In addition, Andy’s audited projects are close to three digits, many of which are even just a framework concept, without scripts and crews. He still concentrates on the selection and audit. The only idea is to choose one for Lanli. A suitable work to break the curse of the little golden man.

But now?
