Olivia Coleman, in the 2018 awards season, with the "Favourite" directed by Oggs, first won the best actress at the Venice Film Festival, and then made great strides, beating the No. 1 Oscar at the Oscars. Glenn-Close, who has been nominated for seven times but has never won an award, won the golden statuette after winning the movie, and broke out a big upset—
Not only because "The Favourite" is only Olivia's first Oscar nomination; but also because before "The Favourite", Olivia was really little familiar to the audience.
But in fact, in the UK, Olivia's popularity in the field of TV dramas and dramas is not the same, especially the reputation of the industry is very good.
The Norfolk, England-born actor, the son of a chartered royal surveyor and a nurse, is shy and introverted, with a mediocre appearance; But now, she still has no confidence in her slightly fat body, especially after giving birth to her first child, she once struggled with postpartum depression, and her life was very difficult.
Olivia's family wasn't ordinary—she attended a private secondary school, but it wasn't wealthy either. She moved house throughout her teenage years. She got into Cambridge through her own efforts, looking forward to becoming a primary school teacher; At Cambridge University, she became interested in acting and met her future husband, Ed-Sinclair, in an amateur drama club.
Ed, who studied in the law department, did not become a lawyer, but became a writer; similarly, Olivia failed to become a primary school teacher. After only one semester, she decided to drop out of school to give herself For a while, trying to be a real actor — Olivia and Renly went down the same path, in a way.
Her mother advised her to give herself a year of trial and error; she gave herself ten years.
After leaving school, Olivia first studied at the Amateur Drama Club of Cambridge University, and then went to Bristol's Old Vic Theatre to study drama. After graduation, she started her acting career, but she spent nearly Twenty years of anonymity.
She once appeared in commercials, she once lived in the attic of a friend's house, she once found coins from the sofa to buy potatoes to satisfy her hunger, she once worked as a cleaner for a long time, and the life of starvation lasted a long, long time For a long time, until 2010, she opened up with the TV series "The Troubled Priest", which earned her a performance in "T-Rex" - a film that managed to win the 2011 Sundance Special Jury Prize , dedicated to Olivia's performances with leading actor Peter-Mullan, and won the British Academy Award for Best Local Outstanding Debut the following year.
This became an important turning point in Olivia's career as an actress.
The "2012" in 2011, the "Complaint" in 2012, and the "Small Town Suspicious Cloud" in 2013, three years, three TV series, and three steps have brought him to the peak of his career. It can really be called a household name. At the same time, she also appeared in the British national TV series "Doctor Who" as a special guest, and her popularity reached its peak.
Compared with the movies, Olivia's achievements in the field of TV series are incredible, and later she has appeared in "Night Manager", "The Crown", "London Life", "Les Miserables" and other series Among them, every role in every work can be unanimously appreciated by the industry. There is no doubt that he is one of the most important TV actors in the second decade of the 21st century in the UK.
If it is Hollywood, after TV actors become famous, they will more or less try to enter the film field. As for whether they can succeed, that is another matter; but in the UK, TV dramas have a unique status, and TV actors have transformed into The situation with movie actors does exist, but it's not universal.
Olivia never took the initiative to try it. Although she did appear in a few movies, they were not of the type that the mainstream market could see. She insisted on enjoying the joy of acting in her own comedy— Some people say that this is called staying in one's own comfort zone, refusing to make progress and change; but others say that this is called constantly polishing in one's own professional field and seeking one's own breakthrough.
From Renly's point of view, Olivia belongs to the latter group.
The work "Lobster" is a small attempt by Olivia in the field of film, and it still continues her consistent style, choosing a supporting role, in a limited space, giving the character a unique charm with her own performance style, and then Silently blooming with the light unique to the character.
For Renly, the most looking forward to the filming of "The Lobster" is the cooperation with Olivia - not because Olivia later won the Oscar, but because of Olivia's comedy performance style Very, very skillful, showing a unique performance temperament; this also makes Renly look forward to co-performing, especially the opposite role, and looking forward to making more attempts in his comedy performance.
But I didn't expect that after the first meeting, the simple conversation left a deep impression on Olivia. It exudes a unique charm.
Now Renly can vaguely understand how Olivia completed the Jedi reversal in the future awards season of the previous life when Glenn Close's momentum and voice were all in the lead, she really showed a Funny soul, it's hard not to be liked in academy PR.
"…I'm more than happy to show the funny soul of a character in front of the camera." Olivia laughed happily at Renly's response.
She made a sullen expression, "It's a pity then, the audience should get to know your true face in depth, I think they'll like it."
"What do you like?" The wind sent a cheerful voice, with a hint of excitement.
Olivia turned her head, Renly raised her jaw following the voice, and then you could see Lea Seydoux with short blond hair coming from the direction of the hotel, "We observed inside for a long time, But you seem to be stuck here and cannot move, are you waiting for the sun to come out?"
Olivia said meaningfully, "We're discussing what kind of girl would fall for Lord Renly Hall." As she spoke, her gaze moved meaningfully back and forth between Leia and Renly, implying that It couldn't be more obvious, but her eyes were very concealed, without any sense of gossip, but rather naughty jokes.
Lea Seydoux, whom Renly met last year in Cannes , "Mission Impossible 4", "Inglourious Basterds" and other works, and also starred in "The Grand Budapest Hotel" last year.
As the granddaughter of the chairman of the old French film company EMI, and the grandniece of the chairman of the Gaumont film company, Leia is a typical three-generation star, completely from a family of performing arts; however, she still looks for performance opportunities down-to-earth, hoping to really polish her acting skills the edges and corners.
Aware of Olivia's eyes, Leia and Renly exchanged glances, and then both laughed - Leia has a stable outsider boyfriend, and Renly has established a relationship with Rooney, although they They don't know each other's private life very well, but they really don't call each other.
Such a frank and straightforward response made Olivia, who was joking, a little uncomfortable. She realized that she might have guessed wrong, but she did not panic, and said with a smile, "Obviously, I should Plus the boy option."

Such a witty response made both Renly and Lea burst into laughter.
"Hey! You! It's going to rain. If you don't come in, you may be refused entry by the hotel."
The three of them glanced at the past, and Ben Whishaw couldn't hold back his emotions after all, and took the initiative to walk out and raise his voice to say hello. Obviously, Renly and Olivia stood in the doorway for so long without moving, and the actors and crew in the hotel couldn't hold back.
Renly stretched out his right hand towards Olivia again, this time Olivia did not refuse any more, handed the suitcase to Renly, smiled and said "thank you", and then the three walked towards a dozen Steps away from the hotel gate.
Ben Whishaw warmly gave Olivia a hug - Whishaw, who is also active in the British TV series, is obviously acquainted with Olivia; moreover, Whishaw and Leia have just collaborated on "007: Spectre", the two are no strangers, only Renly meeting for the first time.
"I hope you're not talking about my being late, otherwise I'll be ashamed." Renly said proactively—the other actors have already arrived, and now it seems that Renly is indeed the last actor to arrive on the set.
Renly defused the atmosphere in this way, Whishaw couldn't help laughing, "No, we're discussing how Oggs trained the car park boy with obsessive-compulsive disorder, is it a coincidence, or is it his royal job? Personnel?" A joke made everyone look at the parking lot in unison, and then collectively laughed.
Like Olivia and Leia, Whishaw is also a well-known name in the industry. Before entering the field of TV and film, he has been in the theater circle for several years, relying on the role of Hamlet to make a name; 2006's "" "Perfume" brought him into the public eye, followed by "Richard II", "Cloud Atlas", "007: Skyfall" and "Paddington Bear", which allowed him to successfully win a place in the film industry.
From here, you can get a glimpse of the entire "Lobster" crew - this is a crew with solid acting skills, and each actor has a certain reputation and popularity in their own field! This should be another crew that gathers major stars after "Interstellar".
