Temporarily put down all your life and career, including dreams, and just enjoy the moment, which has also become the most comfortable and beautiful time for Lanli.
For example, an unexpected encounter with Roman Abramovich in London's West End - although it is not sure whether it was an accident or an arrangement, Lan Li does not mind and does not want to explore: Roman is just chatting with him about the drama, and does not mention anything else, so Lan Li also chats about the drama, from the play to the philosophy to the history, the two have a good conversation.
But that's all.
After the encounter in London's West End, Roman took the initiative to send a dinner invitation to Lan Li, and Lan Li did not refuse, because Roman gave a reason that Lan Li could not refuse, "a neighbor invitation".
Roman invited him to visit his mansion in London, which is located on the west side of Kensington Palace Gardens, a large detached house that is only a five-minute drive from Lan Li's personal residence, and can be easily reached on foot, but compared to Lan Li, as the world's richest man, the specifications and treatment of the mansion are naturally different, the entire area is more than double, and the market price is as high as 60 million pounds.
In addition, Roman had settled here ten years ago, and Lan Li was a new resident who had just moved in, and the "good neighbor of London" extended a sincere and warm invitation to his new neighbor, and Lan Li happily went.
That night, Lan Li also met Roman's third wife, Dasha-Zhukova, and they specially invited Lan Li to come to appreciate an oil painting, which was an anonymous painting that Dasha collected in Istanbul, and personally liked it very much, and specially transported it back to the mansion in London, hoping that Lan Li could participate in the tasting.
It was a very ordinary social occasion. They talked about paintings, about classical music, about movies, about many, many interesting topics, but Roman never mentioned Sisyphus Films, as if he really wanted to make friends with Lan Li, a good neighbor.
In fact, Roman and Lan Li both know that now both sides are maintaining patience, those serious things are not not discussed, but the time is not yet ripe; they are understanding each other, and they are also trying to understand each other, step by step process, it depends on who can calm down and grasp the initiative.
Of course, even if the collaboration doesn't work out in the end, it's worth it if they are able to make a new friend.
Originally, Lan Li was ready to exchange gifts and invite Roman and Dasha to visit him at his mansion, but unfortunately, the peace was shattered by the arrival of work.
The "Lobster" filming location was ready, and Tessa Ross gathered the entire crew and immediately started filming.
In desperation, Lan Li could only write a letter of apology and handed it to Roman, expressing his regret and sorrow, looking forward to the next opportunity to entertain the Abramovichs as the host, and then Lan Li set off with Nathan, who had come to London to meet.
Location: Ireland.
Bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Irish Sea to the east, this small island has a worldwide presence, obviously not as strong as the British, but in fact, the country founded by the Celts is the descendants of the first generation of inhabitants of the European continent, with an ancient and long history dating back to the seventh millennium BC, they have been invaded by Vikings and England, and have been fighting for national freedom for a long time, until 1949, this country officially occupied a place in Europe.
The ill-fated historical scars have given the Celtic nation a resolute, tenacious, clear and simple character, which is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air on the European continent.
Now on this small island, the natural environment still maintains the most primitive and simple landform, known as the "Emerald Island Country", the whole continent is full of green trees, rivers and grasslands, the continuous winding mountains and forests, the eyes full of green and mighty outline a touch of clearness, in it, the whole chest cavity and blood become fresh, like a little elf like a free and wanton soaring.
Compared to England, Ireland is affected by the North Atlantic Current, which is not significantly different from the four seasons of the year, with moderate temperatures between zero and 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year, and the Gulf Stream and the Atlantic monsoon make Ireland a great place to travel when there are no major ups and downs throughout the year. The only regret is that, like London, it rains more than 80% of the time all year round, and sunshine is still a luxury for residents, which inevitably makes their temperament cold and gloomy.
For historical reasons, the relationship between Ireland and England is still controversial, and there are always certain taboos that travel to England, especially in pubs, otherwise they may cause conflicts and not look good.
This is not the first time Lan Li has been to Ireland, he has been here with Matthew, André and others to attend the Galway Festival, Bloom Day, but he has never traveled properly on this land, and the memory left in his mind is the experience of almost falling to the River Reveil after getting drunk in Dublin.
The main reason why the "Lobster" crew chose to shoot in Ireland was to save money - Ireland had many preferential policies in place to attract European film crews to shoot, and at the same time, compared to the United Kingdom, the overall shooting cost was already several notches lower, and it was clean and not crowded, and most importantly, the pristine natural scenery could be the perfect location for the "utopia" in the script.
Nathan drove the car smoothly along the road, the grandeur and magnificence of the coastline gradually left in the rearview mirror, and gradually faded away, the rolling mountains and quiet grasslands slowly spread out under the rolling wheels, and the vast expanse of green instantly occupied all the sight.
Different from the simplicity of the United States, the slenderness of France, and the aging of Britain, the natural scenery of Ireland is full of a bold roughness and majestic majesty, without any carving and polishing, the original landform left over from the Ice Age has been inherited, and even the steepness and steepness of the fjord have undoubtedly continued, and the wide opening cliffs and green grasslands tell the scars of this land.
Stretching out his right hand, the wind slid through his fingers like a torrent of water, the temperature of the sun jumped on his fingertips, and the vast expanses of blue, green and gold were all mixed and entangled, pure and rich, the restlessness in the tranquility, and the whole heart was unconsciously opened.
Nature is always a source of relaxation.
The Lobster crew chose Sneem, a small town in County Kerry, Ireland, as the main filming location, and except for a few urban shots that will be filmed in Dublin, where the entire film will be completed, where they will spend about a month.
The car galloped along the path in the forest, and the sight was green and green, and the cold and cold of winter filled the lungs, keeping the brain awake, looking for some fun in the layers of green, without being dizzy and drowsy, and then a beige building revealed a corner, and the old hotel hidden in the forest appeared little by little.
The Paknasila Hotel, a resort hotel, would next be home to the Lobster crew – the prototype of the hotel in the movie.
"Wow, we're all going to be green for the next while. Nathan couldn't help but sigh, and looking out of the car window, he could see the neatly arranged cars in the parking lot - it looked as if the Lego toys had been neatly arranged, fit neatly into the squares, and the spacing between them was exactly the same, as if someone with OCD had parked all their vehicles.
"Wow. Nathan sighed again, "Why do I have a bad feeling that we're in a weird summer camp?"
Lan Li didn't speak, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose slightly: he also had the same hunch, Ogles and Matthew should have a lot of common language. Or maybe add a Wes Anderson.
Nathan stopped at the entrance of the parking lot and looked at the neat vehicles in front of him with a sad face, "I think parking should be a difficult task, you go in first and say hello to the crew, I will try to keep the whole chessboard tidy and do my best." ”
Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips, "Why don't you try to park your car casually, I think, there may be a wizard next, and then help you with all the follow-up work." Looking at Nathan's stunned expression, Lan Li raised his eyebrows, "You don't expect every parking to be so perfect, right?"
After saying that, leaving Nathan, who was full of confusion, Lan Li left the vehicle and took a step towards the hotel.
At this time, a woman was dragging her luggage in front, she stopped, lifted the hem of her skirt, seemed to be resting and adjusting, turned around and saw the oncoming Lan Li, she showed a big smile, "Sorry, this gentleman, can you help?"
"My pleasure. Lan Li raised his voice and responded, "You just wait there, I'll follow." I mean, someday. The second half of the sentence is a bad joke.
The woman pursed the corners of her mouth and spread out her right hand, "Someday." In this way, she responded to Lan Li's quip, and then she explained, "I have some problems with the rear compartment, and my assistant needs to find a garage, but these bags are what I need in a moment." So ......"
The words were not finished, but the meaning could not have been more obvious: this explained why she was alone in the towel of her suitcase.
"It's fine. I thought it was a corpse inside. Because this thing looks very, very heavy. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now. Lan Li said seriously.
