Roy could faintly sense his mother's solemnity, which also made Lan Li different, although Roy didn't understand the specific reason, he still expressed his politeness, "Your Excellency Lan Li, please follow me." ”

Emma's intervention made Lan Li's move almost fail just now, and the title still didn't change, but this time, Lan Li didn't correct Roy, but asked with a smile, "So, the game you guys were playing just now, are you in the Air Force or the Navy?"

"Air Force!" Roy shouted cheerfully, his feet jumping on his feet, but then he realized his overexcitement and forced himself to compose, "We're just joking." ”

"A lot of things start with play. Including dreams, including careers. Lan Li didn't say much, just nodded lightly at Roy, and then, the footsteps of the two people had already arrived at their destination, not a certain room, but a backyard porch.

Just as Roy pushed open the back door, Flora trotted all the way over, supporting her hands on the screen door, and helped push the door with all her strength, Roy also carefully controlled the strength, and helped with Flora, pushed open the screen door, and then you could see Xiao Nizi raised her head and looked at Lan Li with a look of eagerness for praise.

Lan Li couldn't help but smile in her eyes, "Thank you, young lady." ”

This suddenly made Flora shy, and she turned and ran away as soon as she slipped away, the sound of her footsteps revealing irrepressible cheerfulness, and the light laughter leaked out.

Then, Lan Li looked at Roy again, "Thank you, Roy." ”

The older boy seemed much calmer, and nodded politely to Lan Li, as if he wanted to say something, but thinking that the guests were coming to visit, he swallowed the words after all.

After seeing Lan Li walk into the porch, Roy stood in place and jumped lightly twice, trying to explore again, but he was not sure what he wanted to explore, maybe it was to discuss the Air Force and Navy, maybe it was to discuss the question of the title, maybe it was just a faint curiosity and intimacy.

Roy felt that the actor he was visiting today seemed to be a little different from the others.

Immediately after, the two younger brothers ran down stamped, giggling and joking with Roy, "Mr. Nolan, haha, you are Mr. Nolan." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful again, and Roy was taken aback, and in order to avoid disturbing his father's conversation, he hurriedly turned around and left with his two younger brothers.

At the same time, Lan Li had already arrived in the corridor outside.

Christopher Nolan sat on a chair in a simple tennis shirt and jeans, quietly staring straight ahead, steaming coffee on the coffee table at hand, the faint aroma of coffee wafering in the thick water vapor, isolating the noisy rain outside the porch, leaving a peaceful and beautiful world under the eaves.

This kind of routine is very familiar to Lan Li, because Philip's morning is like this. Of course, Christopher may be a little more relaxed and casual.

Without saying hello, Lan Li sat down in the chair on the other side of Christopher, quietly admiring the gentle drizzle in front of him.

Christopher seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts, and suddenly came back to his senses, only then did he notice Lan Li who had just appeared, "Sorry, sorry, I was a little distracted just now, when did you arrive?" After speaking, Christopher reacted, "Oh, this is the first time we have officially met, right? I haven't introduced myself yet." ”

"I guess we can skip this step, after all, I'm sitting in your home now, and it seems too late to introduce myself. Lan Li was not too polite, and then looked left and right as if he was in his own home, and then found the coffee pot and coffee cup, and opened the clean coffee cup by himself-

Normally, coffee cups would be in the kitchen, not in the tray like a teacup, but now, with clean coffee cups, sugar cubes and condensed milk on the low table in the middle, Christopher could tell that he was ready to entertain Lan Li here from the beginning.

Of course, there's a small chance that maybe Christopher is ready to enjoy an early morning moment with Emma. However, today's meeting was negotiated by Christopher and Lan Li personally, so this should not be very likely.

Noticing Lan Li's movements, Christopher took the initiative to pick up the coffee pot and poured a cup of coffee for Lan Li, and the warm aroma of coffee made the air begin to tumble with moisture.

"There are four little ones in the house, and it's always very noisy, I hope you won't mind. Christopher still remained polite and said politely, it can be seen that he is not the kind of humorous character, and he did not give a positive response to Lan Li's relaxed jokes.

However, Lan Li is not surprised, after all, this is the first official meeting between the two people, and the conversation style and speaking rhythm still need to be adjusted slowly, "Children are always special, sometimes they always feel that time passes very slowly on them, and the days are like years, but one day, before they have time to savor it, they grew up overnight, and then they realized that time is passing quickly, but they have missed the best time, so when they have the opportunity, they still need to spend more time with their children." ”

"Oh, you think so too?" Christopher turned to the side, looking curiously, "I thought you were still a young man, and you didn't become a parent, and you couldn't fully understand what it was like to be a parent." ”

"Ha, to clarify, I really don't have children. Lan Li raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and quipped again, but Christopher still didn't smile, "However, I'm still a kid myself, so I know what I want." However, there was no self-pity and sadness between the words, but a little light ridicule.

Christopher was stunned for a moment, then laughed cheerfully, "I like your sense of humor." Although I know that these words are for work, I have to say that you are very skillful, and I am not disgusted. ”

Lan Li raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What do you say?"

"Kids and time. That's the core of my film. If it weren't for work, you obviously wouldn't talk to about these things. Christopher put on a relaxed expression and said lightly, "Everyone says that Ranley Hall is very smart, and I finally have a little idea now." ”

It turns out that this is the reason. Maybe Christopher lacks a sense of humor, maybe Christopher is a relative pedant, but the real reason why he always stays serious during today's conversation is because he is vigilant at work.

From an unknown British director to a hot top director, Christopher has been very steady along the way, from "following" to "memory fragments" to "Batman", almost completing the triple jump step by step, he knows better than anyone the important role of strength and social interaction, and naturally has a little more vigilance.

What's more, flattery in Hollywood Vanity Fair is also the norm, and it is inevitable to feel tired when you are in it. Some people enjoy it, but others stay away and hate it. It's impossible to tell if Christopher likes or hates it, but he's got his own ideas anyway.

Lan Li didn't refute either, let alone shout that he was wronged - although he was indeed impressed by the four little guys, Lan Li had long been accustomed to the "aristocrats" who always thought that other people were approaching him with a purpose, so he didn't need to defend himself, but took the opportunity to say, "So, my agent told me that you define this movie as 'Othello'? Is this true?"

"Othello" is the first ocean expedition in human history, created by Homer, and together with the "Iliad", it constitutes the most important epic masterpiece of ancient Greece, "Homer's Epic".

The story tells the story of Odysseus's ten years of sea experience, and uses flashbacks to slowly describe the time when he was close to his home for more than 40 days, ten years of thrilling and dangerous things, but still could not stop Odysseus's belief in returning home, and the perseverance to return to his wife and children has created a personal epic.

This work has been hailed as the foundation work of Western literature.

The same is true of "Interstellar" in a sense. Cooper travels through the vastness of outer space, and his only belief is that he longs to return home, and he overcomes countless obstacles to return to his daughter. The dislocation of time and space gives this journey an incomparably epic meaning.

Since Christopher thinks this is work, then Lan Li will cut straight to the work, and there is no need for those polite greetings to appear.

Christopher didn't answer immediately, but seriously met Lan Li's gaze, as if he was digesting Lan Li's transformation and the intention behind the change, and after a moment of silence, "What if that's really the case?"

"Then I feel like it's a script failure. Lan Li said sincerely, "Or rather, this is the limitation of the editor." ”

"The screenwriter is right in front of you. Christopher's eyes narrowed, his tone still rigid and stiff.

Lan Li shrugged, "It won't change my answer, but I think we can have a good talk." ”

Christopher fell silent, raised his right hand, supported his chin, and cast an inquiring gaze towards Lan Li, assuming a defensive posture, as if he was ready to criticize and attack no matter what Lan Li said.

Lan Li knew that the time had come for her to explain, and at the same time, it was also an important time to talk about work.

"'Othello' is a personal ode to the tenacity and greatness of the individual's heart, and the emotional bonds of the family have become the driving force and energy to overcome nature, but now this project is about the insignificance of human beings, in the face of the long river of time, all our efforts and struggles are insignificant, time can be folded and expanded, but cannot be reversed, so we must be responsible for our own choices, even if the end is destruction. ”

Suddenly, Lan Li paused.
