The short black man looked honest and honest, and when paired with a slightly washed white blazer and a khaki shirt, he looked like a Southerner who came out of the sixties, dressed up to attend church services, sincerely believed in God, and sincerely prayed that those years of discrimination would pass, but suffered the heavy blows of life one after another between the upheaval and displacement, forehead, cheeks, The palms and corners of his body are left with the scars of history, but even so, he still did not lose hope in life, and relied on his own hands to honestly strive for a happiness.

The slightly pale temples look a little old, but the shining eyes show his youth and vitality, which has nothing to do with his appearance and appearance, and has nothing to do with age.

Lan Li could clearly feel the excitement and excitement emanating from the other party, which to be honest, made him slightly surprised—he didn't expect that a black man of this age would actually like his work, which was really a bit surprising, and it was indeed uncommon, but obviously, his concept was somewhat arbitrary.

"It was a pleasant surprise. Lan Li stopped the other party in time and avoided creating a disturbance as much as possible.

"Of course, of course!" the short man nodded in affirmation, "I mean, surprise, no problem, and now enter, no problem." The crew is resting, they're adjusting the lights, it's going to take a little time, you can go in now, I'm sure it's a surprise, it's definitely a huge surprise! I'm already feeling the surprise now, I'm almost speechless! It's incredible! I can't believe you're here!"

Because the other party was too excited, even Lan Li smiled, "Thank you, my honor." Then seeing that the other party was about to release his voice again, and the words "loud voice" were written on his face that couldn't help but be excited, he had to quickly put his finger on his lips, make a silent gesture, and said softly, "Surprise, this is a surprise, please keep us a little mysterious, shhh!"

The short man immediately closed his mouth tightly, and followed with a closed mouth action, but he still vividly showed his excitement and excitement with his rolling eyes, especially the appearance of forcibly enduring but still unable to suppress the restlessness, which made people laugh more and more, and couldn't help but empathize with the joy together.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth rose directly, and he smiled silently, "Forgot to ask your name, sir?"

"Roar, Dale, Dale! This is the first time I've heard someone who isn't a priest call me sir, haha, just call me Dale!" replied the short man almost in a jumping motion, but forced himself to lower his voice, the sharp contrast full of energy and energy, "Do you need me to take you in? I mean, it's inside, there's nothing difficult, you can go in yourself, it's definitely not a problem...... I'll just say ......"

"Of course, Dale, please!" Lan Li politely made an inviting gesture, "I hope we can surprise the crew and liven up the atmosphere." ”

Dale smiled and nodded repeatedly, because he was so happy, his eyes narrowed into a long slit, and his happiness could be clearly felt.

"Dale, did you make a special trip to the cinema to watch 'Interstellar'? I thought it was 'white trash', obviously not your first choice when you walked into the cinema. Lan Li started the conversation with a small joke, and no one was so stiff.

Dale's eyebrows and the corners of his mouth both rose, and he seemed to like Lan Li's self-deprecation very much, "I like movies, to be honest, I like all forms of movies, science fiction, comedy, love, drama, adventure, horror, action, etc., etc., as long as it can be seen in the cinema, I am interested, even those super bad movies, I am happy to go into the cinema and watch them." ”

"Including white trash?"

"Ha, including white trash. Dale nodded in the affirmative, "Honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing more films about us, that's true, but the art of cinema shouldn't distinguish between borders and races, right? I don't know the big truths, but I know that good movies are good." ”

Lan Li nodded her head in agreement.

"When I was a child, even the cinema was quarantined, but I still like to go to the cinema, it was the happiest and happiest time in my memory, in that little screen square, in that short 90 minutes, I could temporarily forget my identity and situation, and simply enjoy those joys and happiness. ”

"At first, my wife complained every day because we didn't have any income, and I ended up enjoying the tricks of the rich people, ha, but then gradually she liked it too, and every week she dressed up and went to the cinema with me, and it was a good time for us, even now. ”

"When I retired, I was looking for janitorial jobs on sets near Cincinnati, my eldest son was in Seattle, my daughter was in New York, and my youngest son was in Chicago, and they all wanted me to have a good rest, but I always thought, is there anything better than a movie? ”

There is no rhetoric or rhetoric, just simple and honest words, but you can feel the purest and simplest happiness in the depths of the soul.

In fact, movies are not elegant art, but a popular culture that is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, whether it is a popcorn movie or a work of art, whether it is a cheap horror work or a high-end psychological image, as long as it can move the audience, resonate and cause joy, then it is a success.

Who would have thought that a retired old man who was a gatekeeper would have such great wisdom, even more thorough and wiser than Lan Li.

It's not just "Interstellar" that he loves, it's not just Blue Rite, it's all the films, and all the aspects involved in the production of the film.

"So, what is your favorite part of Interstellar?" Lan Li asked curiously.

"One last shot. More important than time, more important than family affection, is the essence of human beings: loneliness, this is the essence of the whole movie, you have done a great job. Dale showed a big smile at Lan Li, excited, excited, happy and enjoying, but not inhibited, he said his thoughts generously, and was completely happy to share his feelings.

Lan Li also smiled and gently bowed her head in agreement, calmly accepting the compliment, "Thank you." ”

Between talking and laughing, Dale took the initiative to make a muted gesture, "Shhhhh The footsteps of the two men stopped at the door of the living room, he tilted his head slightly, signaled, and without saying anything more, he turned and left lightly.

"Dale. Lan Li called out to the short old man, looked at the other party and turned around, Lan Li looked into the other party's eyes, and said seriously, "It's an honor to meet you, and I will try my best to dedicate more wonderful works." ”

Dale silently showed a big smile, "Then I'll look forward to it." Then, he turned around, his slightly slumped back fading away.

Stepping out of your comfort zone and taking in the scenery of this world, always being able to see different landscapes, is the best part of life.

Lan Li retracted his gaze and turned to face the living room, at this time all kinds of staff were bustling together, blocking the entrance to the living room, only a small passage on the right side, allowing two people to pass by, and the layers of figures blocked the view of the corridor looking at the living room, the only explanation was:

Now I am preparing to shoot evening or evening scenes, which do not require the flow of light, but more through indoor lighting to complete the scene scheduling and atmosphere creation.

Adjusting the lighting is undoubtedly a very long and difficult link, Lan Li did not make a sound to disturb, took the initiative to step forward, stood behind the staff, quietly watched, did not create surprises at the first time, just like a member of the crew, quietly integrated into it.

The whole crew is in a relatively relaxed state, the lighting team and props team are busy, while the rest of the crew can relax a little, and even wait a little bored, because they don't know how long it will take to test the lighting and adjust the lighting.

"Hey, whoever is close to the door, who can close the door, the hallway light is still through. ”

The shouts of the staff of the lighting team could be heard inside the living room, and the staff member standing next to Lan Li didn't look back, just pushed back with his left elbow, "Hey, help close the door, my stomach hurts." ”

Stomach hurt? Is he serious?

Lan Li was slightly stunned, looked down at the elbow that hit him, smiled dumbly, but didn't say anything, quickly left the living room, and closed the doors of several rooms near the corridor, so that the whole space was indoors, which also means that the crew can use artificial means to create lights - equivalent to shooting in the studio, things will be much simpler.

Back at the door of the living room, no one else noticed the abnormality, but Cate Blanchett, who had just stood up and was about to drink water, saw Lan Li in the crowd at a glance, and it was really not easy to ignore that figure, her right hand grabbed the water bottle, and the script in her left hand had not had time to put down, a fur coat was draped over her shoulders, and the retro hairstyle that was pulled up made her look noble and elegant, and the bright rose red lipstick outlined a thrilling charm.

Kate was a little surprised, because she saw Lan Li in the crew, and because Lan Li was perfectly integrated into the staff, she couldn't help but be a little stunned, "Just ...... Did you close the door in the past?"

The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "Yes, is there any problem?"

The staff next to him also turned his head and whispered "thank you", his eyes swept casually, and then he turned his head, but the next second he stiffened, turned his head again, and glanced quickly, as if he was afraid that he had seen something he shouldn't see, and his neck stiffened and turned back:

This...... What's going on?
