Poof. Poof. Poof.

The sound of Lan Li's strong and powerful heartbeat sounded in his ears, which made the whole world quiet, as if his head and heart were all filled with that heart-pounding throbbing, and thousands of butterflies fluttered their wings in the lower abdomen at the same time, and that joy and happiness made everything around him dim.

"Such a surprise, you should do a little less in the future. Rooney said in a low voice.

Lan Li was slightly surprised, "Huh?"

"Because it's so happy and so beautiful, I'm worried that I'll start to become dependent and never be willing to let go. Rooney's voice had a shallow smile, but the loneliness behind that smile made Lan Li empathize, he understood, he understood, he knew, he felt the same way as her.

Rooney said quietly, without complaining or angry, but calming and calm after getting used to it, "When I was a child, I always liked to follow my mother, and wherever she went, I had to follow, because she was so perfect, and I imitated every detail of her body step by step, and I wanted to be a woman like her." But the funny thing, when I look back on my childhood when I grow up, I can't tell whether I covet my mother's attention or hope to be a woman like my mother and win my father's attention. ”

"Suddenly, I realized that I was just my mother's Barbie doll, and she wanted me to be like a lifeless doll, to study my talents and go to college, and then I could wrap up and dress up and marry other families. ”

Of course, she didn't say that directly, but she always told me that the greatest value of a woman in a family like ours is to bring benefits to the family. Now that we are in the 21st century, we can choose our own principles, and our families will not force us, but once we choose our own path, it means that there is no use value, and they will not continue to invest. ”

"She's calm because she's come to terms with fate and at the same time accept the shackles. Kate didn't want to, she wanted to be in the spotlight to get more attention, and I didn't want to, but I'm not sure if I chose a seemingly simple but difficult way to escape the shackles, or because I really like acting. I don't know, I'm not sure, I'm just ...... It's just running away. ”

"All the way to Telluride. ”

She met him.

"Over the years, I've gotten used to facing all the problems on my own. So, don't be too nice to me, don't make me dependent, I'm worried that I may never go back, I can no longer be independent, and I can no longer accept myself alone. Just a little, just a little bit once in a while, just like now. ”

Rooney herself couldn't help it, she hugged Lan Li tightly with both hands, she couldn't help but tremble slightly because she was too hard, the surging emotion made her eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly, she noticed Lan Li's gaze, which fell on her cheeks with heat and lightness, and she was a little embarrassed.

I had to bury my cheeks a little deeper, "I'm sorry, I must be a psychopath right now." Rooney didn't know what was wrong with her, the mellow woody aroma on Lan Li's body made her heart tremble slightly, and then her emotions completely broke down.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't say anything, just imprinted a kiss on the top of Rooney's head.

Quietly enjoying a moment of comfort and warmth, and when Rooney's body calmed down a little, and her mood seemed to return to her usual calm, Lan Li said softly, "Let's slow down a little bit, take our time, okay? It's like two hedgehogs approaching each other, let's slow down, slow down, don't be in a hurry." Okay?"

Rooney is so.

Isn't that the case with Lan Li?

Rooney took a deep breath and chuckled lowly, "Hmm", in response, and the tense emotions gradually relaxed completely, "I like the smell of you." ”

"Don't get used to it, or I'll have to travel twelve hours to visit each time. Lan Li quipped.

Rooney immediately understood, and couldn't help but laugh, "You mean, it's the smell of sweat? It's really stinky, how can it be the smell of sweat?"

Rooney raised her head, supporting Lan Li's chest with her chin, her eyes met, the light in the depths of her pupils was intertwined and reflected, and she could see each other's faces, and then she saw Lan Li's eyebrows slightly raised, "Why, you don't like the smell of my sweat? How do I think, you are completely in love now, you can't love me at all, you can't leave me at all, alas, I'm going to Los Angeles to film in the afternoon, what can you do." ”

"It turns out that the famous Lan Li is also so narcissistic, tsk. Rooney wrinkled her nose and spat mischievously.

Lan Li was full of calmness, "Every actor must be narcissistic, this is my famous saying, haven't you heard of it?"

Rooney burst out laughing.

Lan Li lowered her head and lightly printed a kiss on Rooney's nose, "Ready, the staff downstairs should be ready." ”

"Ahh ”

After saying that, Rooney took the script, left the room with a smoke, and trotted downstairs, in the creaking sound of the staircase plank, Rooney could also be heard laughing briskly, it seemed that the whole world brightened, and even the corners of Lan Li's mouth rose.

After waiting for a while, Lan Li also left the room, but instead of going straight downstairs, he walked around the second floor, as if he was looking for something, and then found the target in the kitchen on the first floor:

Director: Todd Hines.

In order to hide the real purpose of his visit, Lan Li had already had a draft in his chest, and knocked lightly on the door, attracting the attention of Todd, who was drinking coffee, and Lan Li showed a polite smile, as if he had come to visit the class today, and then the first thing he did was to visit the director.

"Good morning, Director, I'm Lan Li Hall. Lan Li took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and greeted Todd.

Todd was obviously a little stunned, with a misty expression, not knowing what was going on, "...... Lan Li?" His voice was full of confusion, "You, why did you get here?" Todd took Lan Li's right hand, his expression was more surprised - because he really didn't have anything to do with Lan Li, and Todd was a director who was very good at capturing femininity, but he was a little lacking in the training of male actors.

"I made a special trip to visit, and I hope it didn't disrupt your shooting plans. Lan Li said with a smile, "I am good friends with Kate and Rooney, and when the script of 'Carol' came to Sisyphus Pictures, I made a special trip to recommend Rooney to play it, and I think she is very suitable for this role." ”

The content of the words is all true, but the key parts are concealed, and the whole above board performance cuts off all suspicions.

At this time, Todd reacted half a beat slower: Lan Li is one of the founders of Sisyphus Pictures and one of the nominal producers of "Carol". It's just that Lan Li didn't interfere in his work from beginning to end, and completely respected his creative freedom, so much so that he forgot about it.

"Of course, of course!" Todd reacted, "Kate and Rooney are perfect actors. His whole person was still a little restrained, not because of Lan Li's reputation, but because he didn't like this kind of polite greetings in the first place.

Although Todd is 53 years old this year, he still has the youthful spirit of an elegant scholar, with a shirt and jeans and cricket shoes, even if he is in a university library, there is no sense of disobedience, reminiscent of a young professor, and the middle-class elite temperament exuded from the inside out also reveals a good family education and knowledge.

"I've seen 'I'm not there', it's very bold and avant-garde, and although I don't really like it, the whole form and structure is very interesting. Lan Li took the initiative to bring up Todd's work, showing the professionalism of the insiders, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Sure enough, Todd visibly relaxed a little, "I'm sorry, I haven't watched your work, there's no way to say the same." But what do you mean by being avant-garde? I don't think the 'I'm not there' experimental temperament is so new. ”

Lan Li's straightforward and honest words made Lan Li laugh: this should be the first person after EGOT to say to Lan Li that he had never seen his work, "Regardless of the filming technique, choosing six actors to play the same role is a very bold choice in itself." ”

"I'm Not There" is a biopic of Bob Dylan, and Todd chose six actors to play Bob Dylan's experiences in different eras, including different types of actors such as blacks and women, which can be described as very special. Among the actresses is Cate Blanchett.

"I think that the six actors represent different aspects of Bob Dylan's personality, different performances of different moods at different stages, and the core of the whole movie is not the story, but a temperament of this master of folk. For me, your attempt to capture his varied, contradictory but unified temperament is a very bold and avant-garde attempt. Lan Li also said his true thoughts frankly.

Todd immediately showed a meaningful expression, obviously, Lan Li was not polite, but had actually watched the film and thought about it.

"But you don't like that movie. Again, Todd gave a surprising response.

"Huh. Lan Li couldn't help laughing, "Indeed, I don't like it. I didn't think my personal needs were important to the director. ”

Todd nodded in the affirmative, "It's not important, but I'd like to know more about it." Because it's really rare to hear these sincere opinions, I'm always happy to open my ears. ”

"Even when shooting images projected by mirrors, the technique of striking forward and backward was still simple and rude. This kind of stubbornness is definitely not something ordinary people can have, director, are you sure you are willing to open your ears?" Lan Li ruthlessly pierced Todd's rhetoric.
