2004 Remote village

"I don't know when I sleep in spring, I smell birds everywhere ......"

The neat reading voice carries the immaturity and youthfulness of the children who have not yet fully grown up, and the non-standard Mandarin has a sincere simplicity.

Ma You stood behind the podium, directly in front of them sat fourteen children, in this small village that made a living from mining, the entire third grade was only the group of children in front of them, even so, compared to other grades, this is quite a lot, because of the living environment, the children's cheeks and nails are always gray, as if they can't be washed clean, but the dust can't hide the joy and happiness in their eyes— As long as they can study, this is enough to make them happy every day, and going to school is the happiest thing for them every day.

Choosing to come here to teach, Ma You is mentally prepared, although the actual situation is still beyond imagination, but she is still energetic to meet the challenges of every day, looking at the group of energetic faces in front of her, it seems that she can breed infinite strength to continue to persevere.

Among the many difficulties, there is only one thing that Ma You is very, very mindful of: there is no cinema here. This is really uncomfortable for Ma You, who is a movie fan. Of course, she can choose to watch it on the computer through resources - as for the speed of the Internet here, there is no need to complain, and now she must express her gratitude for being able to access the Internet, but she still hopes to be able to watch the movies that are released in theaters.

A little bit of box office, this is the biggest contribution as a fan, she will not shout any slogans or run with idols all over the world, personally buy movie tickets to show support for those works and those actors and directors, this is how she silently likes movies.

Today, Ma You's attention is a little less focused, because "Interstellar" is released.

Until now, she still can't forget the complicated feelings of watching "Detachment" for the first time - she doesn't like this movie, but she can't forget it, she can't forget the helpless and dazed eyes of the children in the movie, and she can't forget Lan Li's sad and desperate performance.

For a long time after watching the movie, as soon as she closed her eyes, the last scene of the movie came to her mind: in the desolate and devastated ruins, Henry's eyes burst out of Poe's poetry with a soul-shaking power.

This is the biggest reason why Ma You chose to come to teach. Later, she rummaged through all of Lan Li's films, one after another, and almost greedily admired all the works, including "Pacific War", in addition to "detachment", her favorite is undoubtedly "Drunken Country Ballad", the image of the frustrated folk singer, is completely all her depiction of dreams - not beautiful, but the stupidity of still refusing to give up in the bitterness, that kind of stupid persistence is becoming smaller and smaller in contemporary society, fortunately, there are still people who can find perseverance in life.

When "Interstellar" was confirmed to be released in China, Ma You began to look forward to it - Christopher Nolan is also one of her favorite directors, and it can't be regarded as fanatical, but Nolan can indeed bring something different to commercial films, which is why she always looks forward to it.

Lan Li came to the magic capital to promote the movie, and she had no way to express her love in person, but at least, she could contribute a movie ticket.

However, being in a remote mountain village is not an easy task.

Ma You heard about it from a friend since the early hours of yesterday morning, but she needed a home visit yesterday, and then she came back and started to prepare for classes, and then she adjusted her working hours for today's movie, and she didn't have time to understand it in detail.

The hustle and bustle that happened on the Internet was like a thousand and one nights of Arabian Nights to her, just a story, just listen to it. Anyway, no matter what, she will support Lan Li and "Interstellar", it's as simple as that.

The crack between the virtual space and the real world, in this small mountain village in a remote mining area, is divided into two completely different worlds, Ma You's life is simpler, more realistic and more pure, as for those traffic stars, those negative news, she has no time or energy to care, a little bit of preference for movies is a little bit of her yearning for the future and life, that's all.

It's the fourth class in the morning, and it's time, what about her companions?

Ma You turned his head to look out the window—this was the third time in five minutes, because she was worried that if she postponed it any longer, she might not be able to return in the evening, and the figure of her companion appeared.

Ma You did not interrupt the children's reading, left the classroom lightly, thanked his teaching companions again and again, and then trotted all the way out of the campus, and his companions laughed and teased behind him, "Remember to help me see if there are any posters", Ma You did not look back, just raised his right hand and made an "OK" gesture, like a bird that sprinkled joy, and rushed out of the campus gate on tiptoe.

Lan Li, she's here!

Hurrying all the way, Ma You finally ran to the entrance of the village, got on the bus he planned, and drove in the direction of the town - from the village to the town, in fact, it is only less than two kilometers, and it can be reached on foot, usually the residents of the village are specially going to the town to buy daily necessities, and the same is true for the three-day market day;

After arriving in the town, Ma You took the shuttle bus again and traveled from the town to the county seat, which was a thirty-minute drive. The section of the road near the county seat has been paved with asphalt and is very easy to drive, but for unknown reasons, only a third of the construction was completed, and then it was put on hold and has not been completed, which also makes the section of the road near the town still dirt mountain road, and you can occasionally see young men herding cattle and farmers driving tractors.

At this time, Ma You had time to take out his mobile phone and reconnect with the world.

The boiling thirty-six hours have slowly settled, and the residual heat is still surging, but the context of the whole thing has been completely clear.

Only then did Ma You know that this morning's fan meeting created a sensation again-

In the meeting, Lan Li, Annie and Nolan spent a wonderful hour with the fans, discussing Lan Li's prank script/ability in the crew, sharing Lan Li's experience in establishing a father-son connection with the two young actors, complaining about Nolan's harshness and rigidity in the crew, and sharing the tidbits of Lan Li and Annie...... And so on and so forth.

The audience undoubtedly appeared on Lan Li: he recited Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" on the spot, and the gorgeous and beautiful rhetoric, elegant and moving intonation gave this classic prose a unique charm, which was shocking and eye-opening, triggering a tsunami of cheers and screams from the audience.

In the history of foreign actors coming to China to promote films, it is definitely a peak, a peak that cannot be surpassed or replicated! Even the host almost dislocated his jaw at the scene.

Outside the meet-and-greet, more than 5,000 fans lingered for a long time, unwilling to leave, even if they were not able to line up to enter, but they still failed to take a step, seemingly with fascination, hoping that they could hear some sounds outside the scene, or to see Lan Li after the meeting, no matter how bad it was, they also hoped to be able to communicate with those fans who participated in the meeting.

The most important thing is that they are eagerly looking forward to showing their support and support to Lanli with their practical actions-

It can be seen from the photos and videos sent back from the scene, "Young Master, you are always welcome in Huaxia", "Please be sure to visit the magic capital again", "We will always support you", "This is your third hometown", "Please believe in our sincerity to support you", "Don't pay attention to those haters", "We really love you", ......

The turmoil caused by the past period of time has caused repercussions around the world, and it is impossible for Lan Li not to know, not only Lan Li, but also countless other filmmakers have also seen it, if they say goodbye to the Chinese market forever, it will definitely be a huge loss. Now, fans are doing their best to redeem it, and their eagerness is unreservedly displayed.

Unfortunately, they still didn't get to see Lan Li.

After the fan meeting, Lan Li and his entourage left directly through the back door, and then accepted an exclusive interview with three media at the Peninsula Hotel, which also officially ended the promotional trip of Huaxia.

When Ma You took a ride to the county seat, Lan Li and his party were also heading to Pudong Airport, she also saw the photos sent by the airport highway for the first time on Weibo, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly, the pick-up time in the early hours of yesterday morning was less than thirty-six hours, and now there is no lesson learned, and the old ways are back again, Ma You can't tell clearly, is this a fan or a sunspot, is this really okay?

Different ideas are surging in her mind, but in the end all the thoughts are left with "interstellar", as long as Lan Li is willing to continue acting, she is willing to continue to like it, Don Quixote always sticks to Lan Li's side in his own way, and insists on the beliefs in life with his own defense, which is the most important thing, now, her mind is full of "interstellar", thinking that she will be able to see this work in the cinema soon, Ma You's mood can't help but fly.

People always complain about the hardships and pains of life, and don't seem to find the slightest bit of fun, but in fact, those little happiness are hidden around them, just like a movie, or the little things they like, they are enough to light up a ray of light in the darkness, the only difference is whether they have calmed down to find it?

Ma You was glad that he had found it.

Then, the county seat is there, but the long road is still not over, and she needs to transfer from here to the city.
