1164 Again in the spotlight
It was late at night.
But the doorstep of the pioneer village is still bustling with activity.
As the audience left the bar, the chatter was a clear expression of their uneasy mood, and the long queue at the entrance of the bar still had no end in sight, and as time went on, it continued to grow, more and more, and now more than a thousand people surrounded the pioneer village.
The filming is over, and so is the performance.
This is clear to all the audience, but they still refuse to leave, not only to wait for Lan Li, but also to find out what will be performed tonight. Just standing at the door of the bar, vaguely hearing the slow melody flowing in the room, but it is not real enough at all, everyone is itching, how can they be willing to leave?
Now, the audience who participated in the whole shooting has finally come out, and the unfinished faces are enough to tell the problem, so everyone can't wait to start to surround them, asking all the questions about everything that happened in the bar, even if it is just a few words to describe the scene in the bar, which is also happy.
Unfortunately, this is a movie shoot, and in order to avoid spoilers, the crew of "Drunken Country Folk" officially stipulated that every audience member who enters the bar must confiscate electronic devices. On the one hand, to avoid leaking the movie footage, and on the other hand, to match the setting of the movie, there were no mobile phones and digital cameras in the 60s.
So, before the movie trailer officially comes out, this is the best way for them to spy on the crew-
Lan Li makes a work about folk songs?Lan Li plays a folk singer from the 60s?Lan Li will also perform all the tracks in the film?
Just by making up for it, I was so excited that I began to tremble!
First missed the "one-man concert", and then missed the opportunity for Lan Li to perform on stage at the Grammys, and now people's only impression of Lan Li's live performance is a hype on the "Today Show" program, which is far from satisfying the fans' thoughts, and they still can't wait for any opportunity to perform.
Until now.
On one side is a singer, on the other side is an actor, on the other side is acting, on the other hand is acting. Undoubtedly, the work "Drunken Country Folk" will witness the combination of Lan Li's two talents, which is a once-in-a-lifetime moment for every fan and fan, not to mention that Lan Li's co-director this time is still the Coen brothers, and the expectations are even more rising.
So, at midnight in Manhattan, there was such a scene:
More than a thousand spectators bustled around the pioneer village, braving the cold wind, drizzle, and low temperatures, but they refused to leave, only discussing the performance of the night with great enthusiasm, and even the tiniest detail was enough to make everyone scream with excitement and talk over and over again.
In a trance, people seem to have really returned to the sixties. The era when you were crazy about folk songs, the era when you could stay up all night for a performance, the era when everything was so simple but so pure, the era when there was not much entertainment but the spirit was extremely rich.
In fact, Lan Li left the pioneer village at around 11:20.
Lan Li did not leave through the back door, but chose the main entrance. Facing the audience, Lan Li also took the initiative to slow down, greeted everyone, and thanked everyone for their patience, "It's almost midnight now, and the weather today is really not friendly, so let's go home early." ”
But Lan Li's friendly advice attracted a lot of complaints, "I can't sleep when I go back now, my mood has been teased/stirred, what do you say?"
Lan Li couldn't help but smile, "Then welcome to the bar." Allow me to express my gratitude and the rest of tonight's spending will be recorded in my account. At the very least, everyone can talk in a warm space, and my assistant just said that there is a cold wave arriving in the middle of the night, so everyone should pay attention to some physical health. ”
"No, no, we don't want you to drink. We want to hear from you. ”
"Yes, yes, when is the concert going to be?"
"We want to hear live performances too!"
The shouts made Lan Li laugh dumbly, "Then just wait for this movie to be released, believe me, you won't be disappointed." Although it was only the first scene that was filmed today, I had a good hunch. Although there was still no positive response to the concert, this answer still made everyone scream excitedly.
In the midst of the lively commotion, Nathan drove the car to the parking space next to it, Lan Li opened the car door, and then waited patiently, and saw Paul carefully holding a little guy, and the outside was covered with two thick stalls, and got into the car, Lan Li closed the car door and said to everyone, "Justin is still inside, if you are interested, you can go in and surround him." ”
After betraying the actors of the same crew, Lan Li got into the passenger seat, and then Nathan slowly drove away.
Naturally, in Paul's arms was Anne.
According to the plan, they were going to escort Anne back to the hospital at eleven o'clock, but there was still some delay in the bar, and the tired Anne fell asleep early, groggily, much earlier than when she attended the Grammys last year. It seems that the cold weather in New York still has some effect.
Ranley and Paul escort Anne home, while the bustle of the pioneer village continues.
……
"God, God, God! The biggest expectation of the year in 2013, 'Drunken Country Ballad'! God! It's just started today, and I can't wait now, what should I do? The young master is really so handsome, when he sings, time seems to start to go backwards, no, I still want to scream when I think about it now!"
"I'm crazy, I'm crazy! Pioneer Village tonight! It's a kerosene lamp bar! I can't believe it, I can't believe it! I feel like I'm in love with ballads!"
"The sixties were a time of absurdity and decadence, confusion and vicissitudes, and tonight in the pioneer village, through the young master's singing, and through the story of Levien-Davis, I got a glimpse of the mystery for the first time. What to do, I like it!"
"Ranley-Hall! Ranley-Hall! Ranley-Hall! Can anyone tell me why he's so attractive! And I'm a man! Oh my God! I can't believe it! I'm almost in love with him!"
"Sad as a poem, beautiful as a ray of sunshine. All the compliments tonight go to Lan Li-Hall!"
"I couldn't believe that Lan Li was only twenty-three years old! I felt like he had really lived through the sixties! The whole feeling was so real! I was sitting with a Vietnam veteran, and he just sat next to him with a sad face, smoking cigarettes and cigarettes, one cigarette after another, and when he left, he said, "This is a good actor." ”
"The Coen brothers met Ranley Hall, and it was a dream come true!"
"Stationed outside the pioneer village, I didn't get the opportunity to enter the young master's style, but believe me, tonight's Greenwich Village is back in the sixties, ahh
"I can't believe that Greenwich Village looks like 10,000 people are pouring in tonight!God, is the Sixties really happening again?"
On Twitter, everyone has completely fried the pot, and the first tweet from Greenwich Village began to swipe the screen on a large scale, and the news that Lan Li was filming a 60s ballad began to spread in a huge way. Folk songs, once forgotten in the corner, are now coming into the limelight.
"I don't have any interest in folk songs, but now I'm starting to be curious, and perhaps, 'Drunken Country Ballads' is a work worth watching. ”
"Can someone tell me what this movie has to do with 'Don Quixote'?"
"Why did the Coen brothers come up with the idea of making such a film? It's so strange! But there's a little bit of anticipation, what's going on?"
The vast discussion began to gradually spread, extending to all aspects of movies and folk songs, and in the frenzy of the third stage of the awards season, "Drunken Country Ballads" suddenly became the focus of attention-
In particular, the reporters missed the best opportunity and were not able to obtain first-hand information, but the audience who arrived at the scene in person and queued up became the best witnesses, and they posted photos of Lan Li outside the pioneer village on the photo wall, and the seemingly down-and-out and vicissitudes of Lan Li immediately became the focus of attention.
Lan Li, who has always shown himself as a gentleman, actually played a sloppy wandering artist for the first time in his career?
It sounds like a breakthrough performance, and one is faintly starting to look forward to it.
The next day, an army of reporters rushed to the pioneer village, but the crew of "Drunken Country Ballads" had already retreated.
The crew began filming on location in Greenwich Village, and at the same time, they refused all forms of interviews, saying only that they had to focus on filming and devote themselves wholeheartedly to filming now.
After the rejection, the enthusiasm of the reporters was not extinguished, and it was not long before they unearthed a major breaking point: Woody Allen, the always tall and detached old man, showed up in the pioneer village, watched the whole performance, and was captured by the audience when he left, completing a simple request for autographs.
"Detachment" is the connection from Woody, and now that "Drunken Country Ballad" has seen Woody's figure again, is it true that Lan Li and this legendary New York filmmaker are already close friends?
However, Woody has always been unfriendly to reporters, and it is even more difficult to make an appointment for an interview, and in the end, the "New Yorker" successfully got the opportunity to interview and raised the topic that everyone was curious about.
"He's a great performer and I've always enjoyed the performances in the tavern, which are authentic and representative of the culture and history of the city. I have missed it many times before, but this time I was finally able to watch him perform live. It's a very interesting thing. ”
Later, when the old man was asked what he thought, he simply replied, "I like it." ”
