1581 Silent Practice
"If you don't want to come, you can stay in Los Angeles......"
“…… You know I'm not here for you, and if it weren't for Lan Li, I wouldn't want to travel with you!"
"Then you can come by yourself, I believe that Lan Li will definitely be able to take care of you, why do you want to follow me? If you want your own private space, I can, I have no problem, I can totally agree!"
"Are you sure? So who was asking me about my friends? I told you, they're just ordinary friends!"
"Why can't you tell me if you're an ordinary friend? I'm just trying to understand your life and nothing else......"
"The problem is, I don't want to tell you about my life! God! If I tell you there's a boy in that group of friends, you're not going to sit here. ”
"What, boy, who? what's his name, how old is he, what's he doing, what's going on?"
"Oh God!"
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. You should know that fifteen-year-old boys are full of 'sex', and there is only one thing, they are all bastards!"
"Just like you?"
"Yes, just like me! They can't be trusted! You're going to prom, you're going to prom! It's all right! But he has to be in front of me in person! Meadow! Meadow! I'm serious, don't look out the window! Even your mother agrees with me!"
"Ahhh
"I ...... Meadow, I'm just trying to protect you!"
"Please don't!"
"......" was silent.
"......" was silent.
The conflict that broke out and died out in an instant ended without a hitch, and the inside of the car fell into silence again, and the death-like silence began to spread slowly, and the magnificent waves outside the window were still slowly extended, and the silence spread in another way, and the big and small worlds inside and outside the car were wonderfully blended.
The vast blue ice field stretched out as far as the eye could see, the earth and the sky seemed to merge into one, the huge world seemed to be magnified a hundred times a thousand times, and the humans in it became smaller and smaller, and the black vehicles crawled slowly on the winding veins like beetles, and even the roar of the engine disappeared into the sound of the hunting wind.
Light blue, mint blue, peacock blue, lake blue, dark blue, azure blue, navy blue...... Little by little, the pure and rich blue penetrates into the boundless black, without any variegated translucency but without the slightest monotony, like the paint blending in the crystal clear spring water, quiet and magnificent, thrilling beauty, and then quietly lost in it.
Clusters of ice-blue 10,000-year-old ice are like a crown of thorns, proudly blooming proudly on the natural canvas, and the fragrance is frozen into eternity in an instant, and the green moss like a carpet densely passes through it, stubbornly and wantonly, adding a touch of vitality that does not belong to winter in the world of blue and black, cold and solemn, and the black and white painting scroll suddenly becomes thick and colorful.
There were no trees, no houses, no people, so silent that only their own heartbeat seemed to remain, and the desolate and ethereal breath danced in the fingertips, as if before you knew it, you had left the earth and entered another world. Maybe it's a space universe, maybe it's a paradise, maybe it's a parallel world...... But there was not the slightest tension or fear in the mood, just a calm cloud and breeze.
The car radio is playing the album "Don Quixote" by Lan Li, and the guitar strings of "as-There-Nothing" are so ethereal and moving, I am unconsciously immersed in this moment of silence, as if escaping the noise and troubles of the world, temporarily disappearing into a space of another dimension, quietly enjoying my own time, which is so beautiful that people wander in it.
The scenery of Iceland is always so wonderful and magnificent, and the layers of shock always bring the baptism of the soul inadvertently, but at this time, no one in the carriage cares about the majesty outside the window, and the world seems to be confined to a palm-sized square inch, and everything else is no longer important.
Neither Paul Walker nor Meadow Ryan had the heart to enjoy the view, and they were so immersed in their own thoughts that they couldn't help themselves.
How the quarrel began, Paul and Meadow have forgotten.
The journey from Los Angeles to Reykjavik was without any problems, Meadow finally went home, Paul and Meadow tried to talk once, because it was the first time, both of them seemed cautious and overwhelmed, there were not many surprises in the conversation, they needed to open up and try more, but at least it was a beginning, which was very important.
But after arriving at Reykjavik airport, because of a small problem, and then things got out of control, they didn't seem to be able to live together peacefully at all, and they faced friends and each other very differently, always showing their ugliest and most vicious side. The two even forgot what the beginning of the quarrel really was.
The teenagers in the rebellious period always seem to be like this, showing their spikes all over their bodies to fight against the world, against society, against their families and against themselves, even if they hurt themselves to the ground, but they don't know how to stop, and the parents of teenagers and girls also seem to be unable to get rid of the shackles, always restraining their children in their own way, the more they are bound, the more they resist, the more they resist, the more they resist, the more they resist, the more they resist, the more
Paul's hands gripping the steering wheel tightened slightly, he was retreating, he was accommodating, he was understanding, but the mode of getting along still didn't seem to change much, and he went back to square one again, what the hell is going on, and what should he do?
Mei Duo turned her head to look out the window and bit her lower lip heavily, regretting her impulsiveness and recklessness, like a powder keg, but she didn't know how to communicate, and even the words of apology were stuck in her throat and couldn't speak, so she simply chose to be silent.
The ethereal and silent natural scenery made the silence in the carriage seem bearable, and the two men did not speak after all, and walked quietly all the way on the ring road.
Iceland is the least densely populated country on the European continent, with only 330,000 people living on 100,000 square kilometres, and the Vikings, Celts, and Scandinavians settled here to create their homes among the mountains and rivers in this isolated land.
It's a pristine and retro land with no railways and more than two-thirds of its inhabitants living in the capital, Reykjavík, making the journey away from the capital a journey of exploration and adventure.
The car moving forward in silence is like a ship sailing late at night, the sound of riding the wind and waves is eliminated in the night, quiet and serene, all irritability and anger are unconsciously calmed down, Paul is like this, so is Meadow, the two father and daughter even think in their minds: Is this the original intention of Lan Li?
But the two of them still didn't open their mouths after all. Maybe it's to avoid arguing again, maybe it's not knowing what to say, maybe it's just enjoying a moment of peace...... In this way, they arrived at their destination in silence.
In the distance, the busy and noisy crew came into view.
Compared with the inaccessible people on the road, you can't see any figure or car for thirty minutes, the crew in front of you is simply a big party, the bustling figure reawakens the excitement and busyness of civilized society, and the lonely atmosphere is like a tide gurgling away.
Under the guidance of the staff, Paul parked the car in the temporary parking lot of the crew.
Immediately afterward, Nathan personally rushed over and explained to Paul and Meadow that Lan Li was filming at this time, and it would take some time, because this scene was a long shot and a panorama, and they could not meet Lan Li in a short time, if they were willing to go to the set, then there would be no problem, but if they felt tired, they could enter Lan Li's van to rest and adjust.
Obviously, Lan Li has taken all the situations into account.
Meadow finally chose to go to the set out of curiosity, and Paul didn't say anything, nodding in agreement, and the father and daughter walked silently all the way to the set.
Sure enough, as Nathan said, it's all about distance - Christopher Nolan is capturing the panorama from above, and at the same time, the actor needs to be in the camera, and for the onlooker, the actor is not visible at all, only two matchstick-sized figures moving in the distance, and the feeling of recklessness and grandeur comes to the face.
Paul and Meadow stood quietly beside them.
For Paul, the atmosphere of the crew is all too familiar, and there is no discomfort in the slightest, while for Meadow, everything is new, and it is inevitable to look up and down.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed like this, and the two of them never talked, but they didn't feel abnormal at all, as if they were practicing silence, and then you could see Lan Li, who had finished shooting, walking towards him, wearing a bulky spacesuit, his steps were slightly staggering, and he was sweating profusely, and the long-term shooting really consumed a lot of physical strength and energy.
In the distance, Lan Li saw Paul and Meadow in the crowd, he waved and said hello, and then walked over with clumsy steps, with a bright smile on his face, he could see that he seemed to be in a good mood, "You have finally arrived, how is it, is the journey going well? There is still a distance from Reykjavik by car, why don't you just rest in the hotel?"
As the "host", Lan Li gave a warm welcome, and he had never been so happy to see his friends come to visit the class.
