The long and arduous filming was finally officially completed, and the pressure and tension on the shoulders could finally be relaxed and placed aside, which made the atmosphere of the entire crew relaxed.

Lan Li walked side by side with a group of friends, Rooney also stood beside him, talking and laughing in the direction of the dormitory, and then, their footsteps couldn't help but slow down and pause, looking at the group of people standing at the door of the dormitory, in addition to the two guests, there was also Roy, and the high-level personnel who accompanied them, the battle was really not small.

In an instant, all eyes fell on Lan Li's body.

But before Lan Li could respond, one of the tall, thin, glasses-wearing, curly-haired guests walked up quickly, stood in front of Lan Li, looked on the left side, looked at the right, and then said with excitement and anticipation on his face, "Very good, very good, your current state couldn't be better, but how fast are you growing your beard? In a week, can you be a little more messy? I think you can have a little more beard." ”

The guest's voice was full of joy and cheerfulness, originally everyone thought that this was a question and an exchange, but the words had just fallen, and there was no time and space for Lan Li to answer, so he couldn't wait to turn his head and shouted excitedly, "Ethan, the beard is in good shape, not bad." But what about the hair? What do you think? Is it better to grow it a little longer?"

Immediately after, he turned his head to look at Lan Li again, "Would you like to keep your hair long?" Not like me, I just said, slightly, slightly longer than now." Do you have curly hair? If you keep it long, will it curl naturally? I look at you like curly hair, but what about the rate of hair growth? Will it be slow? Will it take a month? If so, it will be too late. ”

Another long list of words, still leaving no room for answers, turned around, and walked back with his head held high, "Ethan, I think, he is still too handsome and clean, the whole person has a gentlemanly feeling, handsome is no problem, but we need a little sense of decadence, and a sense of vicissitudes, now, will it be too late?"

"Calm down!" Another guest pressed his hands down, finally interrupting the gushing words, "Remember that video? Recall the one in the pioneer village? At that time, Lan Li didn't have a beard at all, all of them were shaved and he was younger than now, but after he put on a show?

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, how did I forget! Well, it's still different after entering the performance state, then there is no problem. The guest who was staring at the big curly hair turned around and said happily, "Lan Li, then the beard is enough, we need you to go a little more, that's all, short hair, short hair is no problem." ”

Then, he began to rub his hands constantly, even if he stood in place, his feet seemed to be stepping on a metronome, and he kept lifting and lowering, lifting and lowering, and his mouth was babbling to himself, "What else, what else ......"

This kind of performance is like an ADHD child, which makes people jaw-dropping and look at each other, even Rooney is no exception, hesitantly turning his head and looking at Lan Li, "He...... He's Joel Cohen, right? That's Ethan Cohen next to him?"

The Coen brothers, the famous Coen brothers.

They have a lot of prestige and popularity in the independent film industry, and they also have strong connections and positions in the industry, and even top production companies like Warner Bros. are more than happy to build relationships with them, and maybe there will be opportunities for them in the future.

As representatives of the top directors in the industry, their appearance has been widely known, and they are often indistinguishable from Meng, Meng, and their recognition is even higher.

So, when they appeared in front of the staff, everyone immediately recognized the two people, and they didn't expect their visit at all, so they all showed surprised looks, but what was even more incredible was that Joel's excited words were completely clueless, sounding like gibberish, which made people confused and stunned.

Hearing the hesitation and hesitation in Rooney's words, Lan Li couldn't help but smile dumbly, and nodded in affirmation, "Yes, he is Joel, and that one is Ethan." Then seeing Rooney's inquiring gaze, Lan Li immediately spread his hands and replied in advance, "No, I don't know why they're here, neither Roy nor Nathan mentioned it to me before." ”

In order to ensure the quality of the filming in the final stage, Lan Li needs absolute silence and absolute dedication, not only Nathan and Roy, but even the entire crew dare not easily disturb Lan Li's schedule-

Being trapped in a light box for fifteen or sixteen hours a day and physically exhausted meant that rest time was even more precious for Lan Li.

Rooney nodded in agreement, and then showed a light smile, "But, they are directors, you are actors, what other reason can they have come to the door in person?

"It's a possibility, but I don't think it's because of that today. Lan Li was also full of question marks, and when he saw a reaction from the Coen brothers, the work "Drunken Country Ballads" came to mind, but then, Lan Li denied his speculation.

Nearly six months have passed since the last meeting, 2012 has become 2013, and even January has passed for most of the time, which is enough for the production cycle of a film;

Therefore, it can't be a "drunken country ballad", Lan Li immediately denied his guess, but for a while, he couldn't think of other projects or other reasons in his mind, was it for the Sundance Film Festival that will kick off next week?

Then, there was another flash of inspiration, "Ice Storm", not the film directed by the Coen brothers in 1996, but the series they produced in 2014.

Produced and aired by cable TV station FX, the TV series was born out of the inspiration and creativity of the film, but the script was recreated, all the characters and all the stories were rewritten, completely independent, but it still continued the black humor and social reflection that the Coen brothers have always had, which is amazing.

After the broadcast, "Ice Storm" received a lot of praise, and received a large number of nominations and trophies above the Golden Globe and Emmy Awards, and then FX TV also renewed the subscription, a total of three seasons before and after, and each season used a different cast, in line with the development trend of short TV series, which can be described as popular and popular.

During their previous meeting, Lan Li and Ethan briefly exchanged ideas.

The small screen of TV dramas will gradually become a better creative platform, because the big screen of movies has formed a fixed business model, and it takes more courage to break the shackles of the framework, while the small screen of TV has benefited from the rapid rise of cable TV stations and online platforms, and the huge audience has become the most important pillar, which gives them the courage and confidence to make more bold and profound attempts.

This is the way forward. Although everyone does not agree with it and does not take it very seriously, in just two years, things will change dramatically. At that time, Ethan also disagreed with Lan Li's opinion, could it be that six months have passed, and Ethan has changed his mind now?

If it's an "ice storm......

Lan Li's mind was also full of thoughts, just like the last time they met, he still didn't know the specific goals of the Coen brothers, and he didn't have any clue at all, but after the face-to-face conversation, all the doubts would be answered.

Lan Li and Rooney exchanged glances, a smile flowed from their eyes, and Rooney rubbed her hands, "The opportunity to work with the Coen brothers is extremely rare for any actor, and now I have begun to be jealous." ”

Lan Li took her chin seriously, "I thought you were used to it." The confident return shot made Rooney's eyes widen, and then Lan Li chuckled happily, stepped away, walked towards the Coen brothers' position, and greeted politely, "Ethan, long time no see." ”

At this time, Joel Cohen realized that after they met, there was not even a simple greeting, and hurriedly shook Lan Li's right hand, "It's nice to see you again, Lan Li! Actually, we arrived here three days ago, but in order not to disturb your filming work, we have been quietly observing, God, now we finally meet." ”

In the face of Joel's enthusiasm, which was completely 180 degrees different from the reaction of last year's Berlin Film Festival, Lan Li had gradually become accustomed to it, nodded with a smile, and said with the attitude of the host, "I hope you enjoy your stay in the past few days, as far as I know, the food of our crew still inherits the fine tradition of British food, which is not flattering." ”

"Haha. Ha ha. Joel laughed merrily, "English humor is always good at making people laugh." ”

Ethan, who was standing next to him, managed to find the gap and said with a smile, "Please forgive Joel for his madness, he was a little too excited. Hope you won't mind. ”

"Should I express it directly if I mind, or should I report it to you?" Lan Li's response made Ethan stunned, and then Joel was the first to laugh heartily, "Jesus Christ, the British are so likable. ”

Lan Li politely extended an invitation and motioned for them to enter the room, "Whatever happens, let's go in and talk about it first." In January, Maurizio Sarri was so cold that his lips were unconscious. ”

"Of course, of course. Ethan nodded repeatedly, and the group entered the room, but the other staff members were not among them, and their curious eyes were all intercepted outside the door, and they could only express their opinions one after another.

In the room, before they had time to sit down, Nathan was asking everyone whether to choose tea or coffee, and Joel couldn't wait to speak, "Lan Li, we came here today in the hope that you can star in the work 'Drunken Country Folk'." ”
