"Heh, it seems that I have an audience here, if you don't mind, I'll say hello first, and then we'll continue...... No, no, I think it should be fine......"

Lan Li's hoarse voice chuckled lowly, even if she was chuckling, she still couldn't feel happiness and warmth, the bitterness hidden behind the loneliness became more and more obvious, entangled in the depths of her soul, unable to get rid of, and gently resounded in the night wind, making Nina shiver.

In the next second, Nina realized that the content of Lan Li's words was referring to her, her whereabouts were exposed, and then she froze in place like an ice sculpture.

What to do, what to do, what to do?

Nina's countless thoughts were rampaging in her mind like thousands of headless flies, but the actual situation was completely stiff and unable to move in place, unable to move even a finger, and in the end, Nina turned around and ran, running wildly regardless of it, as if the devil was dancing behind her, raising all her speed and strength to the extreme, and rushing into the party scene in one go.

“……”

The people standing near the balcony were all hit by 100,000 critical points, looking at Nina with stunned faces, they didn't know what was going on, but Nina didn't know how to explain it, and pointed behind her, but then realized that she couldn't leak the secret, and she couldn't wait to swallow her fingers, and then she quickly used her brains, racking her brains to think about how she should lie, so that she could write off this matter?

"Did you see the tyrannical Tyrannosaurus rex, and how did you run away so badly?" said someone standing next to him.

Nina's eyes lit up, this stalk couldn't be more suitable, she nodded again and again, and then many people around laughed collectively, and the scene was lively again.

The new team in New Orleans didn't know why, and then the Hawaii team explained the ins and outs of the situation, and invisibly solved the siege for Nina, which made Nina can't help but sweat in her heart, and she almost scared herself to death, and hurriedly joined everyone's complaining discussion, hiding her panic, and now she can only pray secretly: Lan Li must not chase her out! Lan Li must not find her!

“…… It seems to have left. Lan Li didn't stand up and chase after him, he looked to the left-hand side, only to see the back of a fleeing figure, but gave up the plan to "catch" the other party, "I guess, it should be because my image in the crew is too terrible, and they don't dare to provoke me." ”

Lan Li is not alone?

Lan Li is indeed a person, it's just that he is on the phone.

"Ha, I think that person may have thought that he had spied your secret and was worried that you would be killed, so he ran away. A teasing voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Lan Li raise his eyebrows slightly, and retorted, "What secret? I never mind if others find out my secret." ”

"The secret of your breakup. The voice on the other end of the phone said as a matter of course, "I think it must be because the other party heard your singing and thought you broke up, so I ran away, and even I can't help but wonder if you just broke up." ”

Lan Li chuckled, but the corners of his mouth couldn't rise, "Don't worry, if I break up, you'll be the first to know." ”

"Oh, I'm the first to know, instead of us making decisions together, it's not right!" was Rooney Mara on the other end of the line.

This made Lan Li chuckle again, this time really laughing, "Okay, I promise you, next time we will make a decision together." ”

About a month and a half ago, Rooney was finalizing her next film: "Carol", the one Lan Li originally recommended, in which she will partner Cate Blanchett as a young woman who falls in love with a blonde noblewoman, telling a pure and true love story.

The whole story is set in New York in the 50s, but obviously, it is an unrealistic fantasy to shoot this movie in New York now, so the crew went around looking for a suitable filming location, and at the same time, Rooney also made a special trip to San Francisco to look through the historical materials of the 50s of the last century, and strive to restore the background, cultural atmosphere and social form of the time to help herself better understand the characters and stories.

About a week ago, the crew officially decided on the filming location and officially completed the preliminary preparations, Rooney and Cate Blanchett joined the crew one after another, and both went to Cincinnati, Ohio to arrange the script, cultivate chemistry between each other, and officially start filming the film.

Ohio is located around the Great Lakes, northeast of Louisiana, and New Orleans and Cincinnati, one to the north and the other to the south, are about 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) away from each other, because the road between the two cities is about half a day's drive, which means that Lanley and Rooney are working in two cities half a day's drive apart.

Rooney knew that Lan Li arrived in New Orleans today, and would continue to complete the filming of "Jurassic World" here, she called to inquire about Lan Li's journey, there was no special purpose, just ordinary greetings, she and Lan Li got along with each other, they would not talk on the phone every day to maintain intimacy, occasionally write text messages, occasionally write letters, and occasionally make phone calls...... They are always able to find ways to make each other feel comfortable.

In the process of getting along with Lan Li and Rooney, he did not specifically mention his family, but he did not deliberately avoid it, if it was mentioned in the topic, then he also took the opportunity to chat, and both of them maintained their respect for each other, and at the same time, in the run-in process, they got closer to each other little by little.

For example, Rooney mentioned Kate Mara's frustration in recent times, she participated in the summer production "Transcendental Hacker" starring Johnny Depp, but encountered crazy bad reviews from the media, which made Kate's emotions extremely sensitive, and there were several arguments between the two sisters that were not necessary at all

How to deal with the relationship between oneself and the media, film critics, audiences, and the Internet is a subject that every actor or director must learn, and obviously, how to share this negative emotion with family and friends is also a topic that every public figure needs to learn and discuss.

In the same way, Lan Li also mentioned the royal award in passing, and told Rooney about his decision, "I decided to refuse the award, and my parents decided to express their anger by hurting those close to me, I think I will never be able to understand them, as if they will never be able to understand me." ”

"My mother didn't say a word to Kate for three years because she dropped out of NYU, and my father refused to support my career as an actor because I changed my name to Rooney, and I had to accept several vase roles in order to make ends meet. Rooney, who was also born in a wealthy family, completely empathized with Lan Li's words, and built a bridge between the two in just a few words.

Lan Li did not mention the details of Philip's affairs, nor did he mention the oppression of George and Elizabeth, but he did not need to mention these processes and details at all, Rooney could feel the sad sense of loss from the result, the important thing was not the process, but the damage caused by those things to Lan Li, and it was also from the constraints and entanglements of the original family.

"Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. ”

Because there is a direct solution to those problems: money, the answer is already determined, but beyond that, those about morality, ethics, and emotion...... Even the questions about life and death and about the soul, their answers are ever-changing, there is no correct answer, maybe not even one answer, which is the most terrifying.

The family of origin belongs to the latter.

"Perhaps, the only thing I'm luckier than you is that I don't have a hereditary title of nobility, or am I a girl?" Rooney interprets from an alternative perspective.

This made the corners of Lan Li's mouth raised, "Are you sure it's not because you were born in the United States?" The historical and cultural contrast between the United States and the United Kingdom seems to be more profound.

Although there is no context, although there is no beginning and end, when Lan Li softly hummed the song "Brooklyn", Rooney really understood:

It wasn't "Brooklyn," it was "London," or ...... "home."

But Lan Li's singing was interrupted by the intruder, and Rooney defused the atmosphere with a small joke, and when the emotions settled, Rooney asked, "When are you going back to London?"

In the song, Lan Li burns the bridge to Brooklyn, and in reality, he will return to London in person, make a break with his hands, and perhaps, he will destroy the bridge home with his own hands. Although Lan Li didn't say it, Rooney was keenly aware of it:

She knows how painful and difficult it can be, just as when she moved to Los Angeles and didn't return to New York until last year. Even so, until now, she has still not been able to burn the bridge, and just looks at the "Brooklyn" across the bridge.

If they could, no one would want to do this, and no one would want to do so, although everyone is born destined to be lonely, but the life of human beings has always consisted of solitude and confrontation, isn't it? When witnessing the bridge to the homeland burned down, the kind of tragedy and tragedy can only be known by oneself: those who are born cold-blooded are only a few after all.

"Soon. Lan Li did not give an exact answer, but still gave an affirmative answer.

Rooney let out a soft breath, "I've always been here. ”

The curvature of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, "I know." After a moment's pause, he added, "Thank you for staying here." ”

"My pleasure. "It's not an oath, it's not sweet talk, it's a joke that it's no wonder that couples will gradually become more and more similar when they stay together for a long time, just like Lan Li and Rooney.
