2175 Coming from afar
"Honestly, I don't have that talent, ah, I'm really jealous of Keaton, and so is John, you should be able to play at any time, right?"
"! It's you every time you play on the spot, okay? You! John didn't. Sorry, John, I didn't mean to accuse you......"
"Ben, you've been deceived by John's honest appearance, he's so good at improvising, I'm just a bird, you can't look at me like that. ”
"Cut!"
"Cut!"
"Ben, you're not wrong, I can do some simple impromptu creations, but how can I compare to you? I'm a stupid bird who can make up for my clumsiness, and you're a real genius, please! Please don't get the point wrong, okay? This young master! I think Buster Keaton will agree with me, aren't you a better genius than him?"
"I'm serious! Stop, stop, stop, stop, I'm not joking, I have to complete sufficient preparation for every scene, and all those impromptu performances can find the context......
"But the problem is that even if we prepare in advance, we can't create it on the spot. ”
Faced with the joint siege of Whisshaw and John, Lan Li was a little overwhelmed, and finally simply spread his hands, "Okay, I am indeed a genius. ”
"Haha!" Whisshaw and John laughed merrily, and even high-fived in celebration: how could they miss such a rare opportunity to see Lan Li deflated?
Lan Li's head was full of black lines, and then he stood next to him and said gloomily, "Be careful of genius retaliation, it can't be prevented." ”
Whisshaw and John both shuddered, how could they have forgotten that the young master next to him was a prank demon king, and he was about to suffer if he was not careful—especially Whisshaw, with a painful expression on his face: Can I disappear in place? Is it too late to withdraw now?
The footsteps of the group of three came to a halt when Max appeared.
Max left the counter and trotted all the way to Lan Li, the expression on his face was still slightly restrained and nervous, the words that had been thought of were all gone up again when he felt Lan Li's gaze, and then his brain was blank again, and he didn't know what to do.
Both John and Whisshaw cast questioning glances at Lan Li, not understanding what was happening.
Lan Li didn't explain, but smiled, "Is there anything else I or my friends can do to help?"
“…… You should try the beer in the pub, we have the best beer in the world in Ireland!" Max himself didn't know where the words came from, but he puffed up his chest and said firmly and proudly, the stumbling words finally flowing.
"Thanks for the recommendation, we should be able to go on Friday. Lan Li looked at John and Whishaw with a smile.
John nodded in agreement, "Of course, of course! I've tried the most authentic Irish beer in New York, it's the best way for them to be reminded of home, and of course, there's a weekly country ball." If there's a chance to taste it in Ireland, how can I miss it?"
Because of the friendliness of Lan Li and the others, Max calmed down a little, and then shouted excitedly, "Welcome to Ireland!"
After finishing speaking, Max turned around and ran back, and after Lan Li and the others left, Max realized that he was going to make a special trip to thank Lan Li, but he didn't say anything, which is really ...... Max couldn't help but cover his face, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but want to fly.
Leaving the cinema and driven by Whisshaw, the three of them walked in the direction of the hotel, and the carriage was still filled with the sound of chatter, discussions about Buster's acting style, about the difference between Buster and Chaplin, about the development and evolution of performance techniques in the mime era...... And so on and so forth, and of course comedy performances now, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal are undoubtedly the most favourable choices – because Jim Carrey's style is so distinct that other actors are really hard to emulate.
One of the most interesting things about watching a movie is arguing with friends or a group of strangers about what you like, but you can calm down and listen to each other's point of view, express your opinion on a case-by-case basis, and then argue so red-faced that inspiration bursts out - it's a process of communicating and learning from each other, respecting each other even if you don't like it, because movies are such a beautiful thing.
Although there are not many people in the small town of Sneem, the 200 seats in the cinema screening room are filled to the fullest, and you can feel their love for cinema – if not love, if not study, but it is also an integral part of the life of the inhabitants, and this is where cultural life comes from.
Lan Li enjoyed everything tonight, from before and after the screening, including the moment of argument with John and Whishaw now, everything was extraordinarily beautiful.
At a certain moment, Lan Li will be in a trance and think that he is in a film festival, but without the hustle and bustle of the film festival. Sure enough, life is full of beauty and happiness, but it lacks an eye for discovery.
"Ben, is that traffic light in trouble?" Lan Li, a little unsure, interrupted Whisshaw and John, who were talking.
Whisshaw quickly retracted his gaze and glanced ahead, the speed of the car had slowed down slowly, "yes, it looks like the car is breaking down." Whisshaw looked down at his watch, "God, it's past ten o'clock, is there a garage nearby? Will roadside assistance be dispatched? Can we help?"
As he spoke, Whisshaw pulled over to the side of the road.
Lan Li looked at John through the rearview mirror, "Do you know the phone number of Chuck in the logistics team?Ask about the nearby garage, I think Snim should also have a garage, I'm not sure if anyone is willing to come out and work overtime now, but always have to try." Then, Lan Li pushed the car door open, and Whisshaw also turned on the lights in the car, Lan Li did not rush forward to avoid being misinterpreted for good intentions, and of course, to avoid encountering fishing traps, "Hey, do you need help?" he asked.
……
Zoe-Cahill is a little grumpy, a little frustrated, and a little helpless: the car breaks down in the middle of the night, which is not a good thing at any time, right?
What's more, they are just a little bit away from their destination – they don't know what that "little bit" is, and this feeling of being close at hand and far away from the world is really terrible.
Zoe knew she was hot-headed, and she knew she was impulsive, but she couldn't, she really couldn't do it—she knew that Lan Li was filming in Ireland, only a three-hour drive from her city, and she obediently stayed at school, instead of going to the crew to follow Lan Li's footsteps up close?
Until now, Zoe can still clearly remember every detail of the movie "Love is Crazy", she watched it thirty-five times, and even felt like throwing up when she saw herself, but when she was at a low mood, she found it again, but she still fell into that beautiful but hurtful story in an instant.
What's more, the album "Don Quixote" became her motivation to pick up the brush again and start painting her dream again, knowing that maybe this dream of painting would not bear fruit, but ...... She was a Don Quixote, so lonely and lonely immersed in her own world.
Zoe even wondered if Lan Li was the only person in the world who understood her, or was Lan Li her destined lover?
She couldn't control herself, her mind was full of thoughts of rushing to Snim, even though she didn't know where the crew was, even if she had classes for tomorrow, even if she didn't know how to get into the crew—the farthest she had been to Dublin, but she couldn't resist her impulses.
So, pulling her friend Randell-Farrell (Randell-Farrell), Zoe rushed over like this, without a plan or idea, just buried her head forward, even if it was just to breathe in the air in the area where Lan Li was, it seemed that she had no regrets, and finally, because the car broke down and was forced to stop, abandoned in the wilderness where there was no village and no store, which made Zoe a little frustrated.
What's even more ridiculous is that the thought of not being able to see Lan Li makes Zoe more concerned than the car breaking down.
"I told you, it won't work!" Randall muttered as he couldn't contain his anger - there were at least three cars passing by just now, but no one was willing to stop and help, and this time was too special to help a stranger on the side of the road, not to mention that Zoe's classic car hadn't been cleaned for two or three years, and it didn't seem like a good person from a distance, and anyone who noticed that they were all hesitant to leave, but they still didn't stop after all.
Then they stood in the darkness, helpless.
"You don't know where the set is, you don't know how to get in, and you don't know how to see him...... If I'm not mistaken, can't I just go on the set? And isn't he a superstar who no one else can get close to? You just come here recklessly and dream of seeing him? What about so many fans all over the world?"
The babbling complaint made Zoe a little irritated, "If you don't have a good idea, then shut up! I don't know why you have such an opinion about the young master, he didn't offend you, did he?"
"Why not? Isn't it because of him? Otherwise, we should be in our dorm room right now to get ready for bed - or maybe a beer is a good idea, instead of standing on an unmanned highway shivering with the cold, I miss my heater! I miss my shower!"
Still missing his Zoe!
It's the damn Lan Li, and every time he is mentioned, Zoe feels like he's gone mad, and then she can't see his existence at all. God! If it weren't for Zoe, he wouldn't have come to visit Lan Li! But on the other hand, he secretly hoped that Zoe would never see Lan Li, and even hated Lan Li because of it, so ...... Didn't he have a chance? No, Zoe and Lan Li didn't have a chance, did they?
"There's a car coming!"
