Human emotions are always incomparably mixed, often a combination of contradictions, like and dislike, happy and sad, expectant and repulsive. Reason is reason, reason is reason, but emotion is still an unknown factor that is elusive and difficult to control.

This is true of both Levyan and Mickey, who on the one hand expect their artistic persistence to bear fruit, but they know that the reality is cold and cruel, and they do not depend on their will, and on the other hand, they doubt whether their artistic persistence really makes sense, but the commercial changes that adapt to the market make them so ridiculous.

is a simple remark, but it is so rappy that even Lan Li himself has been surrounded by himself.

But Justin nodded in the affirmative, "That's what it means." Therefore, this song has a special meaning for Mickey and for Levine. ”

"I remember when the crew met on the first day, you mentioned that there are two versions of the same song, and at the beginning of the chapter, Levine is full of spirit and free momentum, because deep down, he is still full of confidence in himself, and at the end, it is Levien's loneliness, loneliness, and self-loss, and after going around in circles, he also begins to have self-doubt. ”

Justin also gradually entered the state and said endlessly, but after saying this, he himself was stunned-

For the role, for the delicate understanding of the performance, this is his shortcoming, it has always been the case, he doesn't seem to have much acting talent, all the touch is always superficial, can not really touch the essence of the character and the story, but this period of cooperation, Lan Li's performance is moisturizing and silently presenting the depth and breadth of those characters little by little.

Even Justin himself didn't realize that the words of the first day of the crew's official meeting came to mind like this, so lifelike, so deafening.

It's a fun thing to do.

"It's like Mickey. Justin said hesitantly, using this sentence to end his elaboration, but when his gaze fell on Lan Li again, it became deeper. If the flirtation between him and his wife was more of a complaint, in retrospect, it all became real.

Lan Li's slightly frowning brows still did not relax, and the corners of his mouth that were gently raised outlined a touch of playfulness, "Could it be that all singers are like this?"

"Isn't that the case for actors?" Justin's rhetorical question made Lan Li laugh dumbly, "It should be said that aren't all artists like this? Even Bob Dylan, even Meryl Streep, they don't necessarily like every one of their works." ”

Marcus and Benn, who were sitting next to him, both nodded, but this time, Lan Li's rhythm was a little unable to keep up, and he himself laughed dumbly.

When you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Lan Li is a special case, because of the relationship between reincarnation as a human being, he has always been firm. Each one is the result of careful selection, and not only does he not hate them, but he also loves them, including commercial titles like Edge of Tomorrow and Fast & Thrill 5.

But not all actors can be so lucky.

Lan Li nodded in understanding, thought seriously for a moment, and tilted his head slightly, "Then, we can try it, complete arrangement and rhythm, and perform it live once to see how it works, and then compare the revised 'Five Hundred Miles' and make a slight adjustment in style......

"Don't worry. The 'Five Hundred Miles' style is a bit more recent. I discussed it with Stark and Carrey, and we used two guitars to accentuate the parts through different strings, and presented a trio effect, and the style was still different. Marcus just said that the banjo was not widely used in the sixties, and it was a bit of a remote meaning......" Justin took over, indicating the results of their work.

Later, Marcus and Benn both cut into the topic and discussed how to highlight the singers' respective styles. The most important thing is to define Mickey's musical style, and then on that basis, complete the "wave goodbye" arrangement.

In the midst of his busyness, Justin couldn't help but glance at Lan Li more.

Quietly, they went into work mode, and the "late" Justin did not become a burden, but integrated into the discussion without any sense of disobedience, and further mobilized the whole meeting, even if there was no opportunity to introduce themselves to each other, it still seemed natural.

In fact, this kind of work state is quite comfortable, and it has become simpler without the politeness of social occasions.

Everything was just from Lan Li's unexpected question.

Justin is more curious, is this unintentional or intentional?

However, Justin was not able to continue his thoughts, and as his thoughts flashed, he came to his senses, quickly stood up, went to the corner to grab a guitar, and joined in the sparkling creation.

"I think the pace is still a little too fast now, so let's try it half a beat slower. ”

"You mean, in the first part, the emotions are settled down a little, and the melody is light but contrasts with the sadness of the lyrics?"

"Yes, and then express the chic and uninhibited heart through deduction. That's why Levine is willing to compromise. ”

"Then give it a try, I don't think there's anything you can't do. ”

"What is the beat of '500 miles'?"

……

The bustling discussion filled the studio, so much so that when the Coen brothers arrived on the scene, they joined everyone in full swing, and the passage of time no longer mattered, and it seemed that even the time of the meal could not interrupt their conversation-

Even when you're eating, there's still a lot of melody, beats, arrangements, and so on.

When the crew of "Drunken Country Folk Song" left the studio, night had fallen, the cold wind was gusting, icy and biting, and the cold made people can't help but start to stomp their feet in place, even if they just stood outside, it took a lot of courage. On the deserted streets, there seems to be no taxis in sight.

Lan Li's footsteps did not stop. With a guitar on his back, after bidding farewell to everyone, he turned away silently, taking steady steps, and disappeared in the blink of an eye in the large hazy night on the corner of the street, the thin light of the street lamp followed his footsteps, but he didn't have time to follow, and in a blink of an eye, he lost the slender shadow, and when he raised his eyes again, the street was empty.

"Is he always like this?" Marcus and Kerry also took their leave, and went in the other direction, snuggling up to each other, drifting apart.

"What do you mean?" was too broad for Carey to understand.

Marcus shrugged, "I mean, he's always so down and lonely? Honestly, the first time I saw him today, that outfit scared me, he looked like ......"

"Folk singers of the sixties?"

Marcus thought about his wife's addition for a moment, and then nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's a folk singer from the sixties." ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Carrey's mouth, "That's how he is, that's how he has been since he joined the crew." Many times, we can't tell whether he is Lan Li or Levine. ”

Involuntarily, Carey straightened up, his eyebrows fluttering, "A few days ago, Joel and I also discussed this topic, the difference between Lan Li and Levine, in fact, we can indeed feel that they are two different characters, but we can't say why. ”

As she spoke, Carrey noticed the look on Marcus's face that seemed to be a smile, and her words paused, "What's wrong?

Marcus chuckled and shook his head, "No, you're good. It's just that I haven't seen you so happy in the last three or four months. ”

"Yes. I'm really happy and I'm glad I got the opportunity to perform in this project. Carey simply admitted his joy, "You know, when the crew met on the first day, that blue gift was completely different from this blue ceremony, that day, he only wore a white shirt, but he looked completely different. Oh baby, you know you're not going the handsome route. ”

Marcus rolled his eyes exaggeratedly, shook his head like a bobblehead, and then bowed his head and kissed his wife before revealing a satisfied smile.

Carey chuckled, "I'm just saying that once he joined the crew, he lived his life the Levine way, really integrated into life in the sixties. In him, you can still see that passion for performance, God, enviable madness. It really touched me, and I started to think about the meaning of acting, and I started to think about the meaning of Jane's character. ”

Kerry didn't continue to explain the rest of the words, because it was too professional and boring.

"It was a really fun acting experience. Carey sighed in conclusion.

Marcus nodded in agreement, "I can feel it." I don't know Lan Li, but today, he is really impressive. I now finally know why he insisted that 'Don Quixote' was a doomed album because he was Levian-Davis. ”

"You know, the whole album has always stuck to its own style, hiding all the emotions of life in the melody and lyrics, without any concealment. But now no one cares about that at all. Marcus shrugged his shoulders and expressed his displeasure and frustration, "Maybe the album is a success now, but it's all just a bubble." The point is, Lan Li knows this. ”

Marcus and Carrey exchanged glances, one as a singer and the other as an actor, but they coincidentally found a similar frequency, which was really rare, and then both of them chuckled.

"You said he had been living in Levine's way?" asked Marcus curiously, "no wonder he didn't see a thick coat at all, but where did you say he was going to live?
