Whether it's the boxing brothers, or Ben Bennett, Marcus Mamford, they're all pure musicians.

Benn Bennett, formerly known as Joseph Burnett, was a grassroots songwriter who grew up in the '60s, mixed in the '70s, and rose to fame in the '80s.

The music songwriter has always insisted on producing grassroots music such as folk, bluegrass, and country, and has many similarities with George Strand, but unfortunately, as a singer, Benn's talent has never really been able to shine, and although he has occupied a place in the industry, it is far from being "thunderous" for ordinary music fans.

Later, Benn gradually retreated into the background and turned to the production work, and it was only when he really shone and tapped into his potential. He has collaborated with The-ho, Roy-Orbison, and many others, and has achieved brilliant results far beyond the singer's career.

After that, Benn befriended Ethan Cohen and was invited to make the soundtrack of the movie "The Three Escaped from Prison", and his career ushered in its golden period, and his talent in the production of original music for movies was fully displayed.

"Walking with Songs", "Crazy Heart" and the TV series "Music Town" ushered in the era of his career victory, and won the Oscar for Best Original Song for "Crazy Heart", and he also wrote all the soundtracks for the upcoming TV series "True Detective" in 2014.

This time, the song selection and adaptation opinions in the creation stage of "Drunken Country Ballads" all came from Benn. Next, Benn will also work with a group of actors/singers to further complete the production of the soundtrack.

Despite Benn's close ties to the film industry, the reality is that he and the actor barely had the chance to meet – the creator of the soundtrack and original song would hardly need to meet the actor if it weren't for a musical film. Strictly speaking, he is still a musician.

As for Marcus Mamford, he is more professional and dedicated, he is a pure singer, from an indispensable band in the rise of folk music in the last two years, Blessed Son, Marcus is a guitar and drummer, and also a lead singer.

Mumford & Sons, the name comes from Marcus's surname, Mumford, and the other members are not Marcus's children, just band members. Founded in 2007, in just a few years, the British indie folk band has achieved incredible success.

Incidentally, Marcus is only two years older than Lan Li.

In people's fixed impressions, it seems that folk songs belong to those vicissitudes of middle-aged melodies, and only by experiencing the ups and downs of life can they truly compose a movement that touches the heart, but this is not the case. Not just now, but not only in the sixties, Bob Dylan released his first album when he was twenty-one years old and became famous at the age of twenty-two.

Blessed Son has now released two albums, Marcus is one of the main creators, and both albums have garnered a worldwide cult following, with a rocket-rising rate.

This time, Marcus was invited to "play" the role of Mickey and will star in his first film with a voice, which is expected to be the only film as well.

It's interesting about the process of Marcus joining the crew of "Drunken Country Folk".

The Coen brothers and Lan Li began to discuss the right person for the role of Mickey, because they only needed to sing two songs and did not need to appear on camera, so they could invite a pure folk singer to play.

The first option that pops into Joel's mind is Bon-Iver, but Ethan doesn't think it's a good idea.

Lan Li's opinion is that Bon-iver is an excellent choice, but not the best one.

According to his own conception and setting, Levine and Mikey should be about the same age.

On the road to realizing the dream of folk songs, the two walked side by side, starting from scratch, learning guitar together, learning to create together, and recording albums together, they are not only partners, but also friends. This experience was crucial for the song that the two men sang together, as well as for Levien's emotional transformation.

So, Mikey should also be around twenty-three or twenty-four years old.

There is a premise for this.

Historically, in 1961, Bob Dylan had just turned twenty years old, and Dave Van Lunk was only twenty-five years old, and the difference between the two was only five years.

In the role setting stage, the Coen brothers didn't think about this at all, after it was determined that they could not play because of Lan Li's schedule, it was completely rare in the entire Hollywood, around twenty-five years old, to be able to meet the choice of actors and singers at the same time, so they completely gave up on this, which made Oscar Isaac enter the final selection stage - he is thirty-four years old this year.

After twists and turns, Lan Li joined the crew.

In the process of communicating with the Coen brothers, he revealed more important factors in the character setting, which also reminded the Coen brothers that although age is not important in the movie, no one mentions it, and it never shows the relevant influence in the plot and lines, it is crucial for the performance and the details of the story.

After much deliberation, the Coen brothers decided to adopt Lan Li's real age, which is twenty-three years old, which is infinitely close to the current situation of the two singers Bob and Dave in real life in 1961. It is undoubtedly the best choice for the whole story.

Joel's proposed Bon-Iver, who is thirty-one years old this year, would have been perfect if it had been Oscar Isaac, but now it's the Blue Rite.

Subsequently, new singers such as Ed Sheeran, Tom-Odell, Sufjan-Stevens and others came into view.

Originally, Lan Li's personal friend Ed Sheeran has become an important candidate, but then Lan Li mentioned the blessed son of the past two years, as far as he is concerned, he likes Marcus Mumford's voice very much, with some rock in the ballads, which is closer to the singing voice of the second half of the sixties, while Ed is a better combination of folk and pop.

Unfortunately, Lan Li and the Blessed Son have no personal friendship, and the invitation is bound to be very difficult.

For this, the Coen brothers found Justin Timberlake.

Justin didn't push back, and without saying a word, he took on the responsibility of contacting Marcus. Unfortunately, I received a regretful reply, and the Blessed Son is now on a world tour, which will start in December and will last until this year's summer vacation, so I can't spare time in the short term.

It's a schedule issue again. But this is Hollywood, the top people are always full of countless jobs, "The Avengers" is a typical representative, the shooting time must be negotiated, negotiated, and negotiated, just one schedule is enough to make the crew anxious.

Although it is choked, there is nothing that can be done.

At this moment, Carey Mulligan, who overheard the discussion, stopped and cast a curious look, "Do you mean, Marcus of the Blessed Sons?" After receiving an affirmative reply from the Coen brothers, "If you need it, I can help you get in touch." ”

Lan Li immediately reacted, "How did I forget." You should be more familiar with British circles than I am. Sorry, I should have asked you directly. "Carey and Marcus are both from the UK, and unlike Lan Li, they both started from the UK as their base camp, and the entertainment industry seems to be big, but it is actually very small.

In the face of Lan Li's "sudden realization", Kerry showed a big smile, and the cheerful laughter made everyone confused, and she explained, "Yes, Marcus and I are very familiar with each other, and we will meet often. Kerry then pulled out the necklace he had been wearing on his chest and showed the pendant on it.

It was a ring.

A trace of astonishment slipped through Lan Li's eyes, and then he rubbed his forehead in annoyance. He remembered a detail, an important detail, that when the crew met on the first day, Carey wore this ring on his left ring finger. In other words, it's a wedding ring.

Ethan, Joel, and Justin, who were standing next to him, were still full of confusion, and they didn't react for a while, because they didn't notice the relevant small details on the first day, and now they naturally couldn't interpret it further, and then looked at Kerry who turned to leave, and the three of them all looked at Lan Li with inquiring glances.

"Marcus Mamford is Carrey's husband. Lan Li explained, and then recalled his "sudden realization" just now, which was rare to see, and the corners of Lan Li's mouth also showed an embarrassing smile.

Later, they found out. Marcus and Carrey were actually pen pals when they were young, but they lost touch with each other. When I grew up, I met unexpectedly at work and got acquainted again, only to realize that the other party was the little friend in my childhood, and the relationship heated up quickly and quickly fell in love.

After only a few weeks of dating, the two decided to get married in a flash. Last April, they fulfilled their promise to each other.

Both Marcus and Carrey are very, very low-key personalities, never made a big splash, never entered the paparazzi's sight, just hired relatives and friends, and completed a lifelong event, so that not many people knew about it at all. The crew of "Drunken Country Folk" is naturally the same.

After Carrey's communication, Marcus nodded and agreed to come to appear in friendship. However, he was on tour, and he only had five days to spare, so he took advantage of such a brief gap to make it all work done as soon as possible – and by the way, to reunite with his wife.

But whether it's Marcus, Benn, or the boxing brothers, they are more familiar and intimate with Justin, but now, Justin finds himself useless, and his "lateness" makes him an outsider.

"When did arriving fifteen minutes early at the studio become late?" Justin is now full of question marks.

But there was no time to discuss it now, so Justin walked briskly forward, sat down next to him, and listened intently, hoping to get into the rhythm of the conversation as soon as possible.
