1496 Midnight Walk
The sea breeze is blowing, and the night is thick.
Standing on the square of the Palais del Cinema, you can see the hazy appearance of the city reflected in the rippling sea, swaying in the dotted lights, and there is a quiet peace between the interplay of light and shadow.
At the same time, the Lido Island is still a scene of singing and dancing, the brilliant brightness of the lights reflects the whole sky in navy blue, and the bustling crowds gather on the Cinema Palace Square for a long time and do not want to leave.
"Young master, young master, young master, you are really handsome, so handsome!"
"I just heard that this movie was a success again, ahhh
"How many days will you be staying in Venice this time? Can you stay here for a few more days?"
"Young master, would you like to come to Venice next year? Please, please, please come back!"
"Ahh
"I love you!"
"Lanley-Sebastian Hale, marry me!"
When Lan Li's footsteps appeared at the entrance of the Movie Palace, he was surrounded by a surging crowd of people from all directions, and in the distance it looked like a huge beehive, and countless worker bees had just returned from work, bustling all around the queen bees, the scene was enough to make the dense phobia people flee.
At this moment, Venice has entered the middle of the night, but the audience who reluctantly gathered on the square of the Palais du Cinémath, just like the February Carnival, cheering, dancing and singing to welcome the official arrival of the 70th anniversary celebration of the Venice Film Festival.
In the encirclement of the enthusiastic crowd, it took a lot of effort for Lan Li to get out, and then you could see Rooney standing not far away, watching all this with a smile, as if she was watching a good show, which made Lan Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Are you going to watch from the side like this?"
Rooney didn't answer, but looked at Lan Li with a faint smile on her face, spread her hands, and tilted her head slightly, that playful and clever appearance was the best answer.
Lan Li deliberately grinded his teeth viciously, "Next time if you encounter such a situation, I will let it go." ”
Rooney was not nervous at all, and said in an insincere manner, "I'm so scared. ”
Obviously, Rooney is not worried, between her and Lan Li, those screams and crowds belong to Lan Li, not only Rooney, but in the entire Hollywood, if you want to catch up with Lan Li's popularity, it is estimated that only Marvel's superhero group can barely compete with it.
In the face of Rooney's "provocation", Lan Li walked over unhurriedly, came to Rooney's side, and then said in a low voice, "What do you think if I shout 'I love you, Rooney Mara' now?"
Rooney was stunned for a moment, if she suddenly confessed publicly, then Rooney would definitely be in prison, but I was afraid that there would be no stable time in the next few months. Just having a mental picture of the raging waves of the paparazzi and the audience coming and going is already chilling.
After Lan Li dropped a bombshell, he continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
Rooney stared at Lan Li's smug back, and could even catch the brisk footsteps, and the childish side of the prank Great Demon King was once again revealed. She's serious, doesn't anyone find out that Lan Li is actually a big boy? God, why do so many people think Lan Li is a gentleman?
But...... Rooney then realized that she had always seemed to think that way.
So, Rooney could only touch her nose depressedly, didn't say anything, and walked in the direction Lan Li left.
The two did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, of course, they did not walk hand in hand, they left the movie palace openly, and in front of the public, such a down-and-out gesture did not arouse any suspicion, and people just took it for granted that the members of the same crew who had just finished the premiere promotion were on their way to the next trip.
It's dark under the lamp, and that's what it means, though it's not appropriate.
If you deliberately hide it, or even walk separately one after the other, it is easy to cause countless speculations in the media, as if you are a thief, but now the dignified and upright posture, low-key and restrained, calm and free, the focused gaze is a little curious, but as much as possible to avoid more random speculation.
Lan Li's forward speed is not fast, it seems that taking into account Rooney's pace, he consciously slowed down slightly, waiting while moving forward, but Lan Li's stride is very large, and his slender legs can always easily pull away in the process of advancing, and he has left the line of sight of the Palais du Cinema Square unconsciously.
Rooney did not rush forward, but followed behind unhurriedly, watching Lan Li's back and pace, she could sense that Lan Li's consciously slowed pace was quietly waiting for her, that kind of quiet, quiet gentlemanly action, like spring rain.
Before she knew it, the smile on Rooney's lips rose.
Slowly expanding his pace, shortening the distance between them step by step, and finally came to Lan Li's right hand, walking side by side, the two of them still did not speak, just along the sandy coastline of Lido Island, deep and shallow, towards the far end of the island.
The scenery in front of the line of sight can only vaguely outline a vague and hazy outline, and the bright lights of the Palais du Cinema Square are gradually left behind, as if leaving the spotlight of Vanity Fair, slowly returning to the original world shrouded in darkness, without the brilliance of dazzling lights, the starlight in the sky is gradually revealed, and even the moonlight becomes clear and translucent.
The quiet air slowly surged between the two people, and the sound of the ebb and flow of the waves slowly became clear little by little, without embarrassment and jerkiness, but let the muscles and expressions relax, comfortable and casual, the smile was raised unconsciously, even if there were no words, you could feel the tacit understanding of each other, making everything simple.
Time and space seemed to be a little chaotic, and Rooney couldn't help but think of her first acquaintance with Lan Li, and that night seemed to be the same.
From Telluride to Venice, everything seems to have changed, but nothing seems to have changed.
"How's the filming going? How's Stephen Dudley? I've heard of him in London before, and his style of cinema is really far from real life. Lan Li opened her mouth to break the silence, but it was not about the wind/flower/snow/moon, but about the shooting work.
Rooney liked it very much, "Hey, have you heard the rumors? Stephen usually seems to be a very serious and rigid director, but he talks a lot on the set and likes to spoof very much. ”
"What?" Lan Li thought he had misheard, and couldn't help frowning: Are they discussing the same director?
"Jump Out of My World", "All the Time", "Reader" and other heavy and calm movies are all made by Stephen Dudley, and such a director actually likes to spoof?
Rooney pursed the corners of her mouth and inadvertently complained, "Same as someone." Then he deliberately turned his head away from Lan Li's gaze, and continued, "Yes, Stephen is very fond of being funny. When he was studying at the end of the eighties, he was unable to attend a formal academy because of his family's opposition, so he had to work in a theatre company under Elder-Milletti. ”
After throwing a heavy hit, Rooney turned his head to look at Lan Li.
Sure enough, Lan Li didn't pursue the previous jokes anymore, but faintly revealed a look of sudden realization.
The Italian Elder Militi is famous throughout Europe, and even on the other side of the Atlantic, many people have heard of his name. This is a troupe actor, but not from a traditional theatrical stage, but a professional clown, one might even say a clown master!
It is definitely a surprise that Stephen Dudley actually studied under Elder Milliti, because this quality is completely absent in his work.
But if you think about it, Stephen's scheduling and control on the theater stage are extraordinary, and it can still be seen from this side that Elder has a deep influence on him.
"Wow, then it's going to be a lot of fun on the set. Lan Li also began to be curious.
"Yes, we are mainly working with local children in Rio de Janeiro, and in between filming, Stephen is the best at playing with children......" Rooney began to ramble about the interesting stories of the crew's shooting, and from time to time Lan Li interjected, extending from Stephen to the stage play in London's West End, and then to the Almeida Theater version of "Les Miserables", which is about to officially come to an end.
The two of them continued to talk like this, one by one, occasionally mixed in a few words about their own recent situation, but then they talked about acting and drama again, and they never tired of it.
As he spoke, the distance unconsciously spread out under his feet, and then the beautiful scenery in front of him was displayed in front of him without reservation.
The endless sea is covered with layers of sparkling and continuous flow, the far end of the sea and the sky has been completely blurred, as if the sky and the ocean have been completely connected, the stars in the sky and the light of the sea reflect each other, with a faint brilliance, revealing a touch of dark blue and dark blue, but the stars outline the colorful.
Without the shelter of buildings and the illumination of street lamps, it is as if you have found a paradise in the bustling and noisy Venice.
With the help of the glittering moonlight, you can faintly outline a lighthouse on the island in front of you on the left, there is no light, just standing alone, quietly waiting for this sea area in the sound of the waves, quiet and far-reaching, let all the irritability settle down, and involuntarily quiet again, quietly enjoying each other's company.
him and her.
