Reporter "Lan Li, do you feel sorry for missing the main competition unit of this year's Venice Film Festival?"

Lan Li: "No, of course not. I have always believed that the festival is a special tactical platform, and it is important that all films, filmmakers and film lovers come together and experience the charm of cinema, and that is the only shining point. It is my honor to be the opening film and let a wide audience go into the cinema to watch this work. I still have to thank Venice for the invitation. ”

Reporter: "Master Lan Li, you have not been able to participate in the main competition unit of Venice this year, which also means that you also have no hope of competing for your own Grand Slam of the three major European film festivals, what do you think about this?"

Lan Li: "Ha, I breathe a sigh of relief. At least, now journalists won't be pestering me to ask about the odds of a Grand Slam. But obviously, I have to wait a little longer. ”

Reporter: "So, will you be back in Venice next year and compete in the main competition?"

"Personally, of course, I'm very happy. But it doesn't depend on me, but on the director, and my ability still needs to be explored by the director. So, if there are still good directors working on a new film, please feel free to contact my agent, my latest schedule is open. ”

Reporter: "There were rumors in Cannes and Venice when they were reviewed, 'Gravity' is an epoch-making work, and you also gave a wonderful performance in it, even not inferior to 'Drunken Country Folk', how do you feel about missing this opportunity for Venice to compete for Best Actor?"

"Since the work is so wonderful, I hope that the audience can enjoy it in the cinema, which is the greatest affirmation and praise for me." ”

Reporter: "So what about the award?"

"Personally, I would like to see director Alfonso Cuarón take it seriously, this is a work about a director, all the talent and all the brilliance comes from the director's whimsy, and I am only a part of the director's work. If people pay too much attention to my performance, then this is a small personal regret of mine. ”

Reporter: "Would you expect to win the Grand Slam?"

Lan Li: "No, it won't. ”

Reporter: "If you could complete a Grand Slam someday, when would you like it to be?"

"I'm not going to cross my fingers and pray. I'm more looking forward to a long career than a Grand Slam, and maybe one day, what should have happened will happen. And it's far more interesting than starting to set a certain goal now. I'm not sure you know, but in fact, I'm not yet thirty years old. ”

Reporter: "You can see that you are in a very happy mood when you come to Venice this time, is there any special reason?"

"Of course, first, it's a beautiful city, I've had very good memories here, and it's a pleasure to be back again, second, Gravity is coming out, and honestly, I'm looking forward to it as much as you are, Alfonso put a lot of effort into post-production, and I haven't been able to see the finished product yet; third, I've just finished filming a film, and it's a very exciting work. ”

……

Every reporter can really feel that Lan Li's mood is indeed very relaxed and happy, between the interviews coming and going, he always maintains a bright smile, his tone is relaxed, his demeanor is free, and the humor between the lines makes the dazzling afternoon sun in Shuicheng soften.

It's a pity that the on-site interview was not able to be carried out for too long after all, because the reporters on the scene were collectively shouting at the top of their voices, which was really unbearable.

The funniest part is that it is not difficult for Lan Li to make a sound, because the basic skills of the stage require Dantian to speak, and he can't just rely on his throat to shout and use his power to penetrate the sound, but this is not a theater after all, and the spread of Lan Li's voice is still limited, and the reporters at the far end still can't hear it clearly-

As a result, one by one, they were like crazy people, yelling and hearing clearly, so they were abandoned, and finally they could only record the grand scene in front of them through their cameras, and then obtain news materials from their colleagues, and rely on their own abilities to write today's live reports.

The scene was a bit chaotic.

But...... This is Venice, which has been in turmoil for half a century and is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.

Turning around, Lan Li couldn't help but start looking at the villa in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, ten years seem to pass quietly, but the sea is still the sea, and the building is still the same building.

The mold spots that bloomed on the walls like flower bones, the canna planted at the door with green onions, the thresholds and doorrails that could never be recovered after being corroded by the sea, the eaves that accumulated layers of mud and rain, and the faint fragrance of lilies that permeated the air but were always tainted with an imperceptible smell of decay......

The power of time is so powerful that it is almost indestructible, but the power of memory fills in the gaps and gaps of ten years in a single breath, and instantly returns to those green years, as if nothing has changed. Involuntarily, Lan Li remembered the core of the theme of "Interstellar".

Following the outline of the side backlight, Lan Li saw Matthew standing on the right side of the doorway, and only a vague outline of his face could be seen faintly.

In a trance, Lan Li seemed to see them again in their youth, young and immature, young and lively, but in his young skin lived an old soul, and in a moment a kind of illusion of God's perspective sprouted, and now, they have grown up, but he seems to be young.

"Sebastian?" Matthew's voice came through the sound of the surging waves, from far and near, breaking Lan Li's thoughts, "What's wrong, standing there in a daze, is there something wrong?"

Sebastian. As soon as they were called, they really returned to the depths of their memories, and it seemed that from their time in Venice, they realized that Lan Li was not used to being called "Sebastian".

Because George and Elizabeth were always called by this name, the so-called middle name was like a barrier that separated the close-knit family into separate individuals. After that, they gradually began to change their names, except that on occasional special occasions or important occasions, the name "Sebastian" was given a different meaning.

Nothing has changed, except that the people who stayed in the late summer afternoon have changed.

"You're much older than you were from ten years ago. Lan Li quipped.

Matthew was slightly stunned and replied solemnly, "Eight years." ”

Lan Li is unknown.

"Eight years, the last time we came to Venice, it was eight years ago. Matthew further explained.

Sure enough, numbers are not Lan Li's strong point, and the memories seem to have become blurred, and he doesn't mind, but says with a smile, "You are still the same for the obsessive-compulsive disorder of details, I can now be sure that you are still the same Charles." ”

Then, Lan Li and Matthew walked into the villa in front of them.

Called a villa, in fact, in Lan Li's view, it is more like a courtyard.

Stepping past the threshold of the gate, you can see a stone wall that can be opened to isolate the view of the outside from the outside, and after passing the shadow wall, you will see a spacious courtyard in front of you

On the right-hand side, a small garden is designed with a small rockery, which has a faint feeling of a simple Jiangnan garden, and on the left-hand side is a vacant lot, where you can set up a table every morning and enjoy breakfast in the sunshine if you wish.

On the left, near the main entrance, there is a staircase leading to the second and third floors, all three floors are built around a square, creating a sense of spaciousness of a patio, the first floor is the residence of the servants, the second floor is the room of the master and guests, a total of two large rooms and four small rooms, with four separate bathrooms, and finally the third floor is used for other purposes.

In addition to the two spare guest rooms, the main space on the third floor is used as a piano room, dance room, and painting studio. Even during vacations, the aristocrats had their own way of relaxing, especially Venice -

When you come to the resort, you can get rid of the shackles of aristocratic etiquette, get drunk and dream, sing and dance, this is the real relaxation. The aristocratic lords always liked to throw all kinds of parties, or on a lazy afternoon, they would gather the maidens and young women from the streets to come to their homes, untie their clothes, sketch, and carry out other activities, which was also extraordinarily indulgent.

"Remember? That's where André threw down the Dalton family's youngest son's suitcase. The fluttering shirts and pants are truly spectacular. Lan Li couldn't help but think of those young and frivolous trends.

Matthew remembered, too, "And then Eton said, it's called performance art." ”

"Then you instigated that hairy boy from the Dalton family to throw Eaton's suitcase down as well. Lan Li chuckled, as if he could still see Eton's depressed expression on his face.

Matthew turned his head and looked at Lan Li seriously, "Are you sure that the memory is not wrong?" The person who kept fanning the flames was obviously the demon next to him, and even the contradiction between Andre and the group of gentlemen was also sowed discord by this guy.

"Ahem. Lan Li coughed lightly twice and calmly looked away.

Not far away, the Duke of Hamilton's old butler, James Duncan, seized the opportunity accurately and stepped forward, "Young Master Lan Li, Young Master Matthew, welcome home." ”

"Oh, James, you've always been so sweet. Lan Li showed a bright smile, "Are you in good health?" Last time I heard Philip say, you seem to be in a little trouble. ”

"Rest assured, everything is fine. James Duncan said with a slight bow.
